From the rapid succession of events leading up lo the declaration of war. it was evident that life on the campus of the Iowa State Teachers College would enter upon a new cycle. It could not he otherwise. The college has always sought to serve the youth of the State of Iowa. During the sixty-seven years of its history, the life of the college has re fleeted the needs of the times. Throughout this year, the Iowa State Teachers College has held (irmly to its prime fundion of training teachers for the public schools of tin state. 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. The past year has required many adjust- ments on the part of the students and the entire college staff. 'These changes have hcen met in a splendid, democratic, and cooperative manner. Any reward necessary comes with the conviction deep within us of service well done. Complete compensation will come when the four freedoms are enjoyed hy all the peoples of tin earth. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★★★★★★★ ☆ r««c si

Mr. Boardmnn Mr. Col,- Mr. I Ivor, I The Campus Builders The government has its men to head the alphabet bureau. , but Iowa Tcaehera has Benjamin Boardman to balanee the budget and he has dime an admirable job for twenty- six years. Collecting room rent and fees. pay- ing salaries and cheeking requisitions, and just supervising tin activities of the business ofliee are his “line . In the business ofliee. inspec- tion would show that trust funds for more than one hundred student and faculty organ- izations are handled annually: that checking accounts, fees, salaries and expenditures of other nature are checked each day: requisi- tions from every ofliee on the campus find their way through this ofliee: the purchasing of supplies and materials is completed here; campus financial enterprises such as the foun- tain room, publications and the cafeteria also begin and end here. Another change, with the advent of war. was in the office of registrar. I)r. Marshall Beard, formerly of the social science depart- ment. became registrar when the army air corps arrived, and Dr. Selmcr I.arson, who has been registrar since 1938. began teaching in the science department. Dr. Beard acquired not only the gigantic task of normal times. bill also that of being registrar while two service units are on the campus. Ordinarily, the office of the registrar has charge of enroll- ment. classification, registration, and compila- tion of credits for the students on the campus. Ouitc naturally, this task becomes more com- plicated with time, but other immediate fac- tors have full play too. This office supplies mam records for men in service and for the units on the campus. Superintendent of buildings and grounds that is Kblon Cole, sometimes called the Campus-builder . Twenty-six major build- ings. regular campus grounds, seven acres devoted to horticultural and botanical gar- dens. a forty acre golf course and picnic grounds, a farm newly acquired these arc the many things requiring attention from Mr. Cole. The little” problem of heating and lighting that seems so much an ordinary afTair to students is another responsibility. isitors would have us know that we have one of the five most beautiful campuses in the I nited States while we are being proud of our campus, we may well be proud of tin man who has done much toward making it famous.
