A Message from President Aslie While we must record again, w i ! li deep regret, the continued absence of many of our young men from I niver-sity classes and activities, it is a pleasure, this year of 1945. to note tin greatly increased prospects of an early and successful termination of world conflict. It is our hope that our own young men who can never return to us. together with thousands of other young Americans, will not have fought in vain. From this war. may we salvage a lasting and permanent peace! This year has seen the University emerging from the demands for war training and once more begin to pick up the more routine hut highly important task of training civilian students in increasing numbers for the duties and responsibilities of peace. By Dfuman Fink It has been a year of expansion ami potential expansion for the University. Our faculty has grown in number through new appointments and the return of others from government service. Also, the student body has greatly increased. Our new campus site of 245 acres has been announced. Our Expansion Movement has added hundreds of thousands of dollars for new construction. New services, departments, and schools have been added, or are under plan for early development. To you members of our student body of 1945, I can honestly say that the future promises much for all of us if we but have the vision, energy, ami resolution that tomorrow will demand of us.

The lirst outward and unmistakable sign was the announcement that the I niversity will abandon the trimester system come July, shifting hack to the semester plan that was followed in more leisurely days. So. instead of students and professors sweating out a July trimester in 1945, they ill sweat out two of the (radiiional summer sessions. pre-war model. But let there he no illusion about it; college life after the war will never he quite the same as before—anyway, not for a long time. If you |)r. Jay F. W. I’nrtuti, Dean of the Faculty. '» .
