T the time of the World War, when the very foundations of civilization trembled, a new significance was assigned to the phrase Carry on. It came to mean that new sources of determination and encouragement must be tapped and that sacrifice became a matter of pride far removed from complaint and self pity. Two years ago the University of North Dakota, together with many other educational institutions throughout the land, was brought to a realization that a crisis was approaching. The future of an institution that had well served the state and nation for more than a half century was in doubt. Any message that I have the privilege to place before the students and faculty of the University cannot other than convey sincerest congratulations on the manner in which this crisis is being met. The spirit of Carry on is evident to the most casual observer. Indeed, adverse circumstances under which the personnel of the University has struggled, and is struggling, seem to have been an incentive to greater endeavors. The morale of the faculty is high and the achievements of the student body are notable. Tempered in the crucible of adversity, we will acquire the strength and adaptability to withstand misfortune and Carry on till the world is able to make full use of the fine metal of our abilities.
