the lavy ever edu- on g- year .iised 'lems Land- :hool s his mllege J his igion past Zfze QDI'65iJ6IZIf is ersaqe l'This is the fourth war in which Williaiii Icvvell College has lived. ln all of these Vv7illiam levvell men have played a worthy part. ln the present world conflict both men and women who once studied in the historic halls on the Old I-lilly' are engaged in many forms of service. On the home front in every form of volun- tary work they are serving unselfishly. On the campus itself both students and faculty are engaged in study and preparation for actual Work. In practically all of the Reserve plans we have a substantial number of men who are actually en- listed but who are continuing their studies, pend- ing their call to special forms of service. Of course, there are many of our former students in actual War service. These are scattered over the whole world. Vlle have a Victory Roll listing the names of those we know to be actually enlisted. Of course, We cannot have a complete list. But the number has now reached nearly goo. lt is a remarkable fact that almost exactly half of these are commissioned officers. HThe establishing of the Naval Flight Pre- paratory School on the campus is a very direct service to the war effort-and one in which the Trustees and Faculty and all those employed by the college have a part. It represents the desire of all of us to do our part for our country in this crisis, since the college was founded for the pur- pose of perpetuating the ideals for which the Allied Nations are fighting. - Dr. H.

Wings for Victory To the end, he yearned to give his fledgling thoughts ivord-ufings. He ufanted to get ufell so that he could vvrite something about jiying. Perhaps these embryo fliers on our campus had excited his imagination. It may be that the frustrated desire to enjoy his annual airplane flight to Texas sought an explosion. The victory note in this Tatler, then in the malqing, so exhilirated him that he must needs add his oivn ufhoopee. Certainly the sprouting aspirations of the student mind ufere alvvays to him a deep concern. The cud of his contemplation held together in free association these other considerations.' eagle trading stamps stimulating dull businessj the government's use of ufin gs on its stamps and posters to suggest victory, freedom, and ufidened horizonsj the mother eagle of the Bible pushing 'the young out of the circumscribed comfort and security of a nest that their ufings might be developed. Nou! his spirit has outsped his thoughts. While stirring up the nest of his brooding, before thoughts could acquire vvords, he ufas borne up as on eagle's ufings. That ufe do not novv hear the faintest flutter of his thoughts betolqens thought perfected. That he has flown beyond our vision indicates only the imperfection of our earth-encrusted sight. We do not doubt that if he faltered in this flight toufard the great free- dom, the eternal ufings of Divine concern sufooped beneath to catch and uphold um. T Death has again been sufalloufed up in the everlasting victory of spirit over form. . Some follqs tell of youngsters fighting drunlqenly .
