MM Portrayed in this yearbook is our col- lege as it met, along with the rest of the country, our greatest national crisis. It is a candid portrayal of a midwestern institution. Students began the year with their custom- ary activities, registering for their classes, joining their various organizations, engag- ing in their usual fun. From time to time some college man would leave to serve in the armed forces of the country. A few would enlist, but most of the departures were caused by the draft. Then, as the days went drifting by at a slow, easy pace, came the time for December 7. Suddenly college life became a preparation not only for training teachers, but for training men and women to serve their nation at war. Men registered the second semester for math classes for im- mediate future reference. The faculty be- came students in a first aid course. Phys- ical education was emphasized, plans were made by the college war committee to aid the cause common to us all. Students be- gan to realize the value in conservation of human opportunity, and serious prepar ition became the keynote of campus life. The training received at our college began to show itself out in the field—not the teaching field this time, but a field of battle. One re- ceived a medal for gallantry; one who had already served in England and in Egypt, was killed in his line of duty. This was a year when more than ever our unity made us a college, not just a num- ber of students and teachers gathered at the same institution. President Herbert L Cushing tells students the affects of the war on the college. Page 6
