QREWQRD In spite of difficulties resulting from the War, both in the publication of this annual and because of the restricted activities of the students, we were determined that a RAZORBACK should be published this year. We believe that there is much good in the continuity of this traditional yearbook, for it binds together mem- ories that will never be forgotten . . Many of our professors have been called into the service, and, along with thousands of our boys, are fighting all over the World. But with these men as their symbol, more and more students are attending college now, and ak ' many veterans have already returned to resume 1--LM Vhql ywmy A their studies.

All of us have been given the privilege of an education, but few of us realize its advantage. In the years after the war, we must strive to develop our educational institutions and continue their progress, so that our children and grandchildren will better realize the principles at stake today. lt is in our colleges that minds are developed and perfected, and with a host of liberal-minded students who have set freedom as their common goal, we shall be given a better realization of the world order of which we are so vitally a part. We in college today are being taught the principles that must be adopted to preserve peace. We are learning the costs of war with re- gard to both men and money, and we are now called upon to advance this learning. 'Tis education forms the common mind, just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. We are now fighting against tyranny of exclusive ideas, for freedom in the post war world needs free and liberal minds, and minds can not be free so long as they are constricted by narrow thoughts. Our country was found- ed with liberty as the basic element, and we must keep this always in mind. So to the world of tomorrow, a world free from doctrines denying our heritage, free from restrictions on learning and progress, free from oppres- sion and tyranny, to a world in which people may live at peace and strive for a better life through education, we dedicate this book. fix l fxxy X Q ESSEZPA f 7, , fff -...
