"When the first dormitory, known as Ferry Hall, was built, I roomed with the late Seaton Van Doren. This was a four-story building with full basement. The first two stories were for the girl students, while the two upper stories were for the boys. The basement was used for a dining room.

~ POWWOW, March, 1942 In The Mail Box To the Alumni and Parents of W. S. C. Students: This communication will be read, I hope, by many of the alumni who now have children enrolled in this institution and by other parents who have sent their sons and daughters to the State College. The advice we have given to our students is similar to what has been offered by other institutions of higher learning. All of us recognize that the most important task of national defense, as far as the leading colleges and universities are concerned, is "supplying a steady flow of intelligent, well educdted, conscientious, skilled citizens into the population." The above quo tation comes from Doctor Alexander G. Ruthven of the University of Michi gan. This point of view is recognized by the Federal Government in the fields of human medicine, veterinary medicine, and engineering; but in order that persons enrolled in these fields may contribute without delay to the great war program as well as to the long peace that should follow, these insti tutions are asked to offer speed-up courses in many fields. The State College of Washington is in constant touch with national and state authorities. Furthermore, it is in communication with the regional and national military agencies. And the faculty of this institution, guided by DR.E.O.HOLLAND these various agencies, are urging the men enrolled here not to drop their studies and hasten to enlist in one of the military branches. These young people should continue to maintain their. college work on a high plane of efficiency, thereby preparing themselves more thoroughly for specialized service in the war effort. All such persons have been urged not to give up their college work until it is indicated how they can utilize their spe cialized training to render maximum service to their country during this great emergency. • Juvenile Delinquency The parents of the young men enrolled at the State College of Wash HE education 165 class, under the ington can help us in carrying out what is recognized as a second educational policy and also the finest patriotic attitude toward our country at this T direction of Dean J.
