/^ORNELLIANS are too busy all over the world to permit Class Reunions in Ithaca this ^^ June. There will be no Reunion luncheons in Barton Hall—no Class pictures—no lazy June afternoons of getting reacquainted at the dormitories. The University is too crowded now with war activities. Barton Hall and the dormitories are fully occupied by young men in uniform. But when this war is won, plan to come back to Ithaca for a Mammoth Victory Reunion, when we'll make up for all the June Reunions we've missed! For this year, here is a special message from J. Monroe Johnson, Director, Office of Defense Transportation:

"Class Reunions to most of us mean travel on the train, the bus, or the family car. But these are WAR TIMES. Railroads must carry unprecedented loads of freight—twice as much as in World War I and with less than two-thirds the equipment. Troop movements, returning casualties—30,000 each month—furlough travel, and war-essential civilian travel; these take up all the passenger space. Gas and tire shortage keep the family car in the garage. TRAVEL IS NO PLEASURE THESE DAYS! "Why not, this year, take the money you would ordinarily use to attend your Reunion and invest it in some- thing that will help WIN THIS WAR and at the same time yield satisfaction to yourself? BUY WAR BONDS!"
