'J 'ij fateful shadows across the campus loomed over Wash HIS year, ever poised, often striking, always flinging it l ' ' Q5 JH ington University the mighty Sword, token of war. Every phase of college activity keenly felt lts presence. Poised persuasively, the Blade called students and faculty alike to dedicate their mental and physical energies to victory. Striking swiftly, lt swept youths by the scores out of the class- rooms into service camps the country over: prodded coeds into duty as bandage wrappers, nurses' aidesp drove campus resi- dents from dormitory and fraternity house, completely altered curricular and extra-curricular habits. The shadows which lt flung across our sacred acres were sometimes heroic, sometimes tragic stories of our boys who have already played an active fighting role: and again the shadows were prophecies of the future for those of us still left behind. Who then will venture that the Pen is mightier than the Sword, when the Sword drives such a bargain in the Pen's own haven? The following pages are designed to show what extent the Tool of Mars has bid for credit with the Tool of Minerva in shaping the history of Washington University during 1942-1943.
