I am happy to send greetings to Illini through the courtesy of The Illia. The past year has seen the realization of some of our pla-ns-and also of some of our fears. The world is not at peace. Increasingly our eiforts are going into programs related to the national defense. Through research programs, through the training of vital personnel, particularly in the fields of the medical and associated sciences, and through our general edu- cation program, the University of Illinois is contributing directly to national security. Witli the approval of the leaders of the armed forces, the University has encouraged students to enter as freshmen and to stay as long as possible before being inducted for military service. We have also broadened the base of our Reserve Officers Training Corps. ln fact, the University of Illinois has one of the largest and most comprehensive Cliicers Training Corps programs available in tl1e United States. VVe have been fortunate in receiving an appropriation of funds with which to build a new Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building on the Chicago fProfessional Colleges campus. This addition will enable us to increase substantially our student body. The need for doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses, emphasized tremendously by the period of urgency, made this building a top priority project. Also, plans have been advanced to begin work on student and staff housing for the Professional Colleges campus. WVork has been begun on the housing project in Urbana for men students. This building, which it is expected will be completed some time in 1952, will provide facilities for approxi- mately 300 students. The University is recognizing fully its responsibilities to the nation. At the same time, we are aware of our responsibilities for the best possible education of our youth. During the VVorld 'War II period and immediately after, the University experienced a tremendous growth and a concurrent need for expansion of facilities. Today we face much the same problem. A IVe shall continue to work to expand these facilities. IVe shall try to improve the quality of our teaching i11 all areas. We are aware that whether the times be normal or abnormal, ive must oifer to youth the best in educational opportunity for they will become the support and substance of the nation. Illini throughout the world can be proud to know that their Alma Mater is in the front ranks in the deepening struggle to preserve liberty.
