Y ith the winter term, came the additional problem of moving students from Seerley and Hart led to make room for a thousand more people, the Waves, Their coming also meant changing class rooms, change in the food service, and even in Sunday morning chapel service. On alentine’s day. students were told that four hundred army air cadets were coming and that they would move from Seerley and half of Baker; more class rooms were vacated, instructors were changed and more people were being fed in the Commons.

Kven during the present emergency, the new generation must he trained in the proper use of the freedoms we are striving to maintain. New factors must he eonsidered when com- puting the assets of our nation as it wages a modern mechanized war. Dormitories, classrooms and trained college instructors become vital resources. Our college is an outgrowth of the civilization and democracy of the I nited States. It is only just that our college serve the nation as it struggles to per- petuate our civilization and democratic form of government. This the college has done to the utmost during the year. By continuing and strengthening the pro- fessional training of teachers, the Iowa State Teachers College has persistently trained for freedom. In aiding the nation hy welcoming war training programs lo the campus, the col- lege has fought to save that freedom.
