THE UNIVERSITY AT WAR

We’ve tried to make it your book. You are our public and our reason for being. We’ve listened to your criticisms and advice and tried to follow them insofar as possible. You wanted pictures: we’ve included as many as we could and the best that we could. The number of pages is smaller; we don’t think that the quality of those pages has been lessened. We’re a little jittery as we submit the book for your ap¬ proval. Read it with faith, hope, and charity. The final test of a book is in its reception by the public. You are our public. We hope you find 1944 mirrored in your Razor- back. iPilili There’s always one rainy game a season . . . this year it was Homecoming. Everybody got wet . . . queen and commoners alike . . . but nobody seemed to mind. We huddled under raincoats, umbrellas, and newspapers, or just ignored the weather. Pop boys and the football teams went about their business in spite of the downpour.

Razorbacks of the past have been dedicated to men, to the state, to the nation, and to the students. This year we feel that it is only fitting that the book be dedi¬ cated to the University. We are proud of our school. Ivy leaves against red brick will always mean Old Main to us. Red-gold sunshine reflected through autumn trees recalls the Senior Walk. In the midst of present whirlwind events these things will be steadfast we know. But like the nation, our school too has gone to war. We walk on muddy grass because the army takes the sidewalks. We take finals three times a year instead of twice so that boys can get more college work behind them before joining the armed services. It ' s inconvenient, yes. But it’s all a part of a bigger plan . . . far above our own personal likes and comfort. And so we dedicate this issue of the Arkansas Razor- back to a university at war . . . the University of Arkansas.
