President Newhiirn Now that the war is ended, the University of Oregon is Faced both with great opportunities and great challenges. The enrollment, which dropped to less than half of the pre-war level, has moved upward at a startling rate and at this writing (winter term) is within three hundred of our all-time high. Of this number, over twelve hundred are recently demobilized veterans, and consequently much of our effort is directed at caring for their educational needs. Our major goal in the years immediately ahead is the main- tenance of a rich and vital learning environment for all our students to the end that our state and nation may be strengthened through their ser- vice.
