GOVERNOR MON C. WALLGREN r K % 1 ■ »■ m 1 Ip H 0-i r Jk tm i H BM VM BHI » » Jm There can be little doubt that you and your fellow students in the universities and colleges will witness and take part in an era of world wide change quite without parallel in modern times. World War II ushered in new concepts of the relationships of nations and peoples. A new- power has appeared, a power which holds terrible danger and also very great possibilities of benefit for mankind. Political and social changes are engrossing the thoughts and the endeavors of the peoples of all lands. Our own nation is taking a broader outlook and wields a greater in- fluence; a greater responsibility must be assumed. With all this you are deeply concerned. Many of the decisions will fall to those of your generation to make. Among you are the leaders who will think deeply and carefully as the days and years pass, on the part which America uuist take in the momentous events which will in- evitably occur. A ])paccful world, a free world, can be attained. With freedom and peace there is no height of progress and beauty which the human race may not enjoy. The dictators dreamed of a thou- sand years of domination and despotic power. We can dream and attain a thousand years of peaceful living in a democratic world freed from narrow selfishness and conflict. It is a great adventure. You will have your part in it. I have faith that you will acquit your- selves with intelligence, courage and high purpose. I wish you Godspeed. MON C. WALLGREN Governor

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES l ' l l l i 1 1 1 1 Dean Edward H. Laiier A Proposed Liberal Arts Program — this is the dream of Dean Lauer as lie outlined it in his report to the laeullv of the College six vears ago. No idle dream, it stands todav as a bliie])rint to a future when work of the college mav be sharplv divided into a two-vear ])reparatorv lower divi- sion plan and an equilly distinct two-year upper division program for intensified major work. A life-time hol)hy of stamp collecting takes up spare hours of the Dean. During the war his donated stamj)s to scrapbooks compiled by stu- dents went to hospitalized G.I.s. Their notes of thanks which often started with a Dear Ed: — or Say, Lauer — would he a delight to the heart of any dean. Not onlv of collection value, however, Dean Lauer points to their merit as educators in history, geography, biographies of ijreat men. Arthur P.
