This annual as a icconl dilTt-is grt ' atly from all proc.eding ones. Thf war has made pr« it inroads in our college population. Young people of college age furnish the personnel to a large extent for military service and armament production. Demands for these services take a heavy toll on manpower and seriously disarrange student activities. To such an extent has this heen true in this college that the ratio of men to women students has fallen to a considerable extent. A number of faculty members also have volunteered their services to the government. Under the circumstances we would not have it otherwise. We feel a glow of pride in our men for the contributions they are making and in our women who have not been called but who are sparing nothing in preparation to give all that may be needed from them. We have been grieved by the casualty list of young men who were among us only a short time ago. Some have made the surpreme sacrifice, some have been wounded, and some are prisoners of war. To the families of these young men our deepest sympathy is extended. To make a proper record of these sacrifices is, I am sure, one of the important purposes of this publication. But in spite of all these important considerations there is a spirit of optimism in college. It is a spirit ready for sacrifice if necessary, a spirit which easily adjusts to changed conditions and to additional tasks which are freely undertaken and to new types of preparatory work. The will to carry on has never weakened. The college is in a relatively satisfactory condition now. After heavy withdrawals in the fall the student body is again on the increase. Compared with the number of students remaining at the end of the first semester, enroll- ment for the second semester is up 10.3 per cent. That is a good record and a good omen. Our three-year plan was the first to reach the public. It is a good plan by which students may save a year in college, be prepared earlier for miliitary sei-vice or some type of industry, or be ready to fill the depleted ranks of the teaching profession. Looked at from the standpoint of fiancial outlay the program is attractive and every effort should be made to get young people to take advantage of it. Your book has had its share of financial strain and curtailment, but you who have produced it have cheerfully met the situation and have every reason to be pleased with your accomplishment. I congratulate you and appreciate what you have done. THE PRESIDED
