SMITH Dean of Sfudentf in lhe Coflege v I C The launching of the Four Year College last year as a separate administrative unit in the Uni- versity gave rise to numerous questions and proh- lems. Some of these pertained to the relative difiiculty of the work in the high school and the college, others to the nature of the college program, still others to the development of extra-classroom activities adapted to the interest of the students in the college. Marked progress has been made this year in solving these problems through the coop- eration of students, faculty, and parents. Particularly noteworthy is the improvement in the program of student activities both as to the kinds of activities provided and as to student par- ticipation in them. This volume, the preparation of which is in itself an important student project, bears impressive testimony to the excellence of the activities, which should he credited very largely to the interest, initiative, and competence of the stu- dents in the Four Year College.

PRINCIPAIXS MESSAGE The most thrilling and the most talked about topic in America is the defense in the Western Hemisphere and assistance to those who oppose the Nazis. All of us should be interested in itg all of us are interested in itg all of us wish to help as best we can. It is of prime importance that ever in- creasing amounts of the munition of war-tanks, planes, ships, guns'-be manufactured for defense. It is inevitable and desirable that financial aid in proportion to our ability should be given cheerfully to those who defend freedom. But it is not our function to point the Uni- versity High School to prepare the physical mater- ials for defense. If it falls to our lot as individuals to prepare the physical materials, that service will be performed after graduation. Our task now is the defense of the spirit to learn as much as we can which will help us to be good citizens in a democ- racy. We must learn rhe difference between false arguments and trueg we must learn to detect the false prophetg we must study and understand what democracy means in terms of adequate housing, food, social security, and unemployment. XVe nzust practice democracy in our relationships within the school. That is our task of defense. H 19. ' , . fha RALPH W. TYLER Chairman Department of Edumtzon STEPHEN M.
