PAGE 17 UNIVERSITY g4 y ie33ag e to Studentd This 1946 CINCINNATIAN possesses special interest and significance since it forms a chronicle by word and picture of the first year of restored peace on the U. C. campus. While we had foreseen difficulties of adjustment in the post-war era, the actuality has thus far proved far less serious than anticipated. Thanks to the cordial welcome from upper-class men and women, the host of entering veterans have felt at home immediately. As the months proceed, this spirit of friendliness and cooperation has continued and increased. Those students who are younger value the steadying effect of contact with students who are older and who have faced the grim experience of the world ' s greatest war. As for our veteran students, they tell me they rejoice to be here on a campus in which youthful gayety and verve are flourishing along with an attitude of seriousness and attention to the fundamental job of the student — which is study. To all students I would urge hard work, with rela-ation and fun afterward. And I would urge deep consideration of civic and religious values. We cannot limit our civic Interests to campus activities, nor to national affairs. In this age of atomic force, this planet is indeed one world. The problem which transcends all others is how to make it a peaceful and a just world. I suggest that we on this campus should follow the transactions of the United Nations Organization and, within our powers, foster it and every other movement to promote good will among nations. As for spiritual values, I commend to you the thought that Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths place a common emphasis upon the brotherhood of man as a corollary of the fatherhood of God. We have a rich opportunity to practice brotherhood on this campus. We have a rich opportunity to seek God ' s help by prayer and service. RAYMOND WALTERS

It will go down in the annals of U. C. as the year in which hundreds of students and scores of faculty members were welcomed back to the campus after valiant service in World War II. Their return has helped to enrich the lives of all. It has been heartening and en- couraging to note their seriousness of purpose. The University itself has made significant progress this year. Two independent units — the Colleges of Business Administration and of Applied Arts — have been established to serve returning veterans more adequately. Housing has been provided for large numbers of non-residents. Surplus government property has been obtained to improve instruction in classroom and laboratory. And a suitable site has been acquired for the projected Armory and Field House and the Dormitory. The accomplishments of 1945-46 give assurance that your Alma Mater can look forward to years of splendid service to the community and the nation. In this endeavor you, as students and graduates, can be of great help.
