ll I N I sg . EHFSEDE Z MMERMAN Our president, Dr. James F. Ziinmerman, has written the following message to the students of the University. YVe present it as received, believing it a splendid reflection of the personality which connnands the admira- tion of the students, the faculty, and citizens of the State. This message, written February 16, 1942, cannot escape altogether the influence of the present despondency caused hy the announce- ment yesterday ol: the fall of Singapore. Cne laces doubt as to the outcome of the war and great uncertainty as to the peace. s Personally, I hope for a postwar world which will insure to mankind political, social, and economic justice. , 'S K' - Z W , ' . it s if ' sw 5 1: H f sua f We 1. g, Elm sm Miss Louise Bemis, Secretary to the President.

In this brief a11d inadequate statement, may each student who reads the 1942 Mirage hll in the gaps 1111til a more complete outline ol' the kind of world he or she desires is formed. Then let each one strive to prepare mind and heart for service in those tasks which will con- tribute to the creation of such a future world order. Our young men IIIIISI now light and die on numerous world battle-fronts. Unless we learn how to construct world fronts of peace and order. young men of the lfuture will continue to meet a similar fate. It seems most important to me that we should all seek to establish a future world where national sellisliness does not govern. but where international law and order insures justice to men a11d women of all nations artd races. i'XVith this thought. I extend greetings to the flII'l'Ilg'67 Staff of 1942 and to all students of the University. ll. F. Zttxttxttcmtaw
