Major du- ties each year include registration, recording, admission transcripts, correspondence, statisti- cal data, miscellaneous reports, and studies and attendance records.

COLLEGES Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is the heritage willed us l)y our forefathers. The pursuit of knowledge is the tool that the youth of eaeh generation must use to hold and extend these gains. Labs may be blown up, students may flunk an occasional course, and sometimes cribbing instead of the use of intellect occurs, but edu- cation marches on as University students dream, plan, and work toward the promised future, the greater America. This war year students have been dreaming, working, and playing at an accelerated pace. They are working toward winning and insur- ing lasting peace. Our curriculum naturally has been affected by the war. Subjects have been intensified and broadened. University faculty members are training air corps students, working on ration boards, placing students in vital positions, and guiding the civilian student body into the chan- nels of true practical knowledge. There is nothing more important to democracy than the education of its youth. Enslaved youth can be led to knowledge but il cannot be made to think. 29
