T0 THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Through this page of The Illia it is my great privilege to extend greetings to every member of the vast Illini family. How we have grown! Once more the men predomi- nate, and especially the men just out of uniform. There are 11,000 veterans on the Urbana campus alone! The total enrollment for the year, including students of the undergraduate divisions at Chicago and Galesburg, is expected to reach 26,000. Three thousand additional college freshmen are farmed out to numerous high schools under the supervision of the Extension Di- vision. In this way the University of Illinois is fulfill- ing the promise of the Board of Trustees and of the leaders in government that the youth of the State will be given a full educational opportunity. Needless to say, acute shortages prevail. Staff and student housing will be a problem for some time, while the provision of permanent facilities for resi- dence, instruction, research, and assembly will for a decade demand a high priority. Less conspicuous but more meaningful to the indi- vidual student is the sincere attempt of every staff member to maintain a high quality of instruction and guidance. We recognize in the return to college of mature veterans and war workers an expression of faith in learning unparalleled in American history. In memory of the 20,000 Illini who served in the armed forces, and of the gallant company who gave their lives, Iet us renew our pledge of loyalty and service to University, State and Nation. GEORGE D. STODDARD President 21
