DEAN OF MEN r-gf MARIA LEONARD Dain: of W07ll8Il There is no word that stirs the souls of men more than the word VICTORY-the well-chosen theme of the 19+-l Illio. All students registered in the colleges and univer- sities of our country, who are doing their most to prepare themselves on their highest professional level to meet the urgent demand for skilled and highly trained workers, are in line for Victory. Today the University of Illinois calls for rigorous living, hard work, and sacrifices. liducation is a process to prepare one to meet Life adequatelyfa large order in this world crisis! Since it is the governments plan to place men and women in their largest circle of usefulness, in turn, it becomes the business of every student to meet that call by enlarging his capabilities to the utmost. It may mean professional futures delayed, but if it brings VICTORY, the women of the University will give their 11lOSt as our men are called upon to give. The Dean of lVomen and her two assistants stand ready to serve and counsel all women students in choosing their life work, their war iobs. and their Mtooling up for these war emergencies.
