The 1946 RAZORBACK is dedicated to those sons and daughters of the University of Arkansas who served in the Armed Forces. Though we know that the satisfaction of noble ac- complishment which is yours is a far greater reward than any acclaim which we or anyone can offer, we salute you and your comrades in arms for the courage and sacrihce that you ex- hibited throughout the long and bitter struggle that is now at an end. You have brought us peace, and you have set our feet upon the road to a better world. But even now, while the drums of war are scarcely stilled, we are becoming more and more aware that that road is a long and difficult one. It is our hope that thattsame spirit of yours to which we here pay tribute will be ours too-that together we may march down that road vviththe Four Freedoms for which you fought as guide-posts to the better world which we and all men of goodwill are seeking.
