PRESIDENT 0F THE UniVmity The boys and girls are coming home now. The number of service men and women in aHendance a+ +he Universi+y increased from 378 for +he fail quayr'rer +0 approxima+ely l.500 for +he win+er quar+er. and H is es+ima+ed +ha+ +his num- ber will have reached 2,500 by +he opening of +he summer quarfer. We who have been here all of +he +ime have had +hese young men and women cons+an+ly in mind. and we have been saddened beyond measure during +he years by +he in- formafion frickling in concerning Those who could not come back. The firs+ phase of +he crisis which has come upon our coun+ry has passed wi+h +he silencing of +he guns. Howeverl s+uden+s and alumni and facuH'y of The Universify of Tennessee realize +ha+ +he mos+ dangerous phase of our crisis is ius+ ahead. I am nof speaking here of +he Universi+y as an ins+i+u+ion solely. I am referring +0 +he social crisisl domes+ic and inferna+ionaL in+o which +he world is enfering. A+omic fission and ifs consuming power is a sorf of symbol of fine immeasurable forces. apparenfly separa+ing and dividing and confusing, in +he social and economic alchemy which has been inifiafed during +hese ferrible preceding years. My message, +herefore, +0 +he young men and women O'F +he Senior Class. and +0 all of our s+uden+s and alumni, is +ha+ We prepare ourselves for sane iudgmen+s. concer+ed. consecrafed soliidarify for good, and +ha+ +hrough +hese media +his Universi+y be able +0 send ouf influences +ha+ will keep us on an even keel in +he years iusf ahead.
