A Swiss father on his death bed, so the story runs, handed his twelve sons a bundle of twelve twigs with the request that the sons break the bundle. Each son tried,- but no one succeeded. Then the father untied the twigs and they broke them one by one. What a commentary on life! Unity gives strength; division invites disaster. ' United we stand; divided we fall. ' The truth of this parable is felt strongly today. Only by concerted effort can America survive the onslaughts of her cruel enemies. A divided people invite confusion and court disaster. America must go all out for Victory. We salute our brave alumni soldiers and sailors, and pray for their welfare. May theirs be a God-pleasing victory! Wartburg stands at the dawn of a new day. Great opportunities for service loom up before her. The call for consecrated pastors and laymen, parish and social workers, teachers, missionaries, and profes- sional men and women challenge her to rededicate her strength and devotion to Christ and His Church. A united alumni, a united faculty, a united student body pressing toward one goal spell victory. A College undergirded by the prayers of consecrated men and women and encouraged by the trust and support of a benevolent Church, is a power for untold good, a source of true strength and wisdom. May Wartburg accomplish her mission — all united for victory! — 13 —

DR. G. J. NEUMANN As Dean of Wartburg College, he is always giving of his time to solve student problems. Most of his spare time is spent in writing poetry. In these times it may be well to recall the nature of Milton ' s aims for education as expressed in his Tractate on Education: 1 call therefore a complete and generous edu- cation that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously all the offices both private and public of peace and war. And how fit ourselves for the performance of these offices? By regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love Him, to imitate Him, to be like Him, as we may the nearest by possessing our souls of true virtue, which being united to the heavenly grace of faith makes up the highest perfection. G. J. NEUMANN. — 14 —
