GE BOARD OF REGENTS THAT THE University of California stands I high in academic leadership of the war effort is due in large measure to the wisdom and careful planning of the Board of Regent . Although the Uni- s fr-iu ha- -uffered from financial cuts and loss of fac- ulty to government service, the high standards of peace- time have been maintained. Contracts with the Army and Navy for the training of future officers and technicians provided a needed source of revenue. A thorough streamlining of the undergraduate curriculum was neces-ary. but essential courses remained, and research on vital war projects was greatly expanded. Expecting the student enroll- ment to double, and perhaps treble, after the war. the Regents authorized an investigation of post-war hous- ing possibilities, thus laying firm foundations for the future while meeting the needs of a nation at war.

ROBERT GORDON SPROUL President of the Un THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE VTHE TRADITIONAL President ' s farewell is addressed this year not to one, nor to two, but to three classes of graduating Seniors. This is significant. It bears witness to the changed tempo and tenor of our changing times. It gives point and empha- sis to questions which we all are asking: When the war ends, what will the world be like? Will we pick up the patterns of our lives where we left them, and carry on? Or will we, in our eagerness to establish a better world, make a clean break with the past? Out of the clash of opposing patterns of human thought and conduct, there have emerged for us two clear convictions: first, we shall hold fast to our tradi- tions and our moral codes, for they have proved them- selves good; second, mindful of those who in every corner of the globe have held themselves to be expend- able, we shall not fail to make good their sacrifice through fresher ways of thinking and through patterns of living cut to fit the world design of a new era in the destiny of the human race. MONROE E. DEUTSCH Vice-President of the University and Provost at Berkeley
