Foreword Members of the senior class who received their diplomas in May, 1944, were the third class to graduate from the University of Idaho during World War II—and the last ‘for the duration’’ who could say that they had seen a normal school year on the Idaho campus For three war years had wrought great changes in the college life they had first known. During these years, they had seen Idaho dwindle in enrollment from over 2000 to about 700. They had seen traditions firmly established in the past completely put aside, because of the war. They had seen the coming and going of hundreds of soldiers and sailors who received training at Idaho. They had expe- rienced changes that were common to all university students in a United States at war. These seniors left behind them a school that resembled in few ways the University where they had started their college life in the fall of 1940—but they left behind them a student body which, though small, would keep alive the desire which had motivated so many Idaho students. This desire was to keep alive as much of the old University of Idaho as possible, so that Idaho fighting-men in the South Pacific, in India, in Britain, in the Aleutians, in Italy may some day return to what must to them constitute a very large share of those cherished memories of the homeland for which they fight. With this in mind, the GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS has tried to present on the following pages a picture of this war-time university and of the students who tried to keep alive the old traditions. Reduced in size, produced on a budget of approximately half the size of former years, printed without benefit of expensive layouts, art work, and coloring, the 1944 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS is in complete accord with the rationing imposed upon every phase of wartime life
