No one pretends that college life during this war is anything like what college life was before the world upheaval. The first concern of any college boy today is the defense of his country, and it has been that since December. 1941. But the inroads of defense demands were not immediately felt at the college level until some time after Pearl Harbor. The first change was the acceleration of the scholastic schedule, which enabled a youth to get a maximum amount of college training before being called to the colors. Just when the civilian student body began to dwindle away. Villanova was favored by being chosen to train V-12 candidates for the Navy and Marine Corps. The first quota came aboard in July. 1943. and since that time, the old Villa- nova life has been reduced to a minimum, though it still exists in token numbers. The chief interests of the student at the college now are an iniense curriculum, morning reveille and calisthenics, physical education, inspections, reviews, week-end liberty, and the Thursday night Merit list. Some of the activities remain unchanged; sports, both intramural and intercollegiate, dances. Iraierruiy ac- tivity, publications. It is from a desire of recording this mixture of the new and the old that this 1944 edition of the Belle Air is published.
