THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE
The following paragraphs are an informal report to the alumni, The Winter Term began October 30,1944, with the largest enrol lment of resident students in the his· tory of the Co llege. but with fewer day students than in the days of easy transportation. The Spring Term began March 1, 1945, with an enrollment of 170 Navy students and 350 civilian students. AI· though the Navy program at Ursinus may not be continued after July 1, we plan a Summer Term of sixteen weeks for those students who expect to complete their work in October and for the seventeen· yea r·old boys. who naturally wish to enter co ll ege and complete as many terms as possible before join. ing the armed forces. We plan a Summer Term of eight weeks for the summer of 1946. It seems probable that for several years Ursinus, like other co lleges, will have few men students. The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 (Publi c Law 3·16), often referred to as the C. L Bill of Rights, makes gene rOllS provision for the education of veterans, but many months wi ll pass before vet· erans will return to co ll ege in any considerable numbers. ,re have now a few vetera ns, and they are good students and good citizens of the College community. Many of ou r former students, including members of the Navy unit, will probably complete their co llege educati on at Ursinus. We sha ll wei· come these and other veterans who are prepared to do our work, and who are interested in the type of program and community life for which Ursinus stands. We hope during the co min g months to ad· mit an increasin g number of seventeen·year·old boys who will be able to complete severa l terms of co llege work before joining the armed forces. We shall need students who will appreciate the advan· tages that Ursinus offers. Here the help of the alumni is very important. To interest a promising stu dent in Ursinus is to render the Co ll ege-and the student- a real service. The seventy.fifth academic year will close on Monday, June 25, 1945. The commencement ex· ercises will be held at 11 : 00 a.m. in Bomberger Hall. The speaker wi ll be His Excellency, Dr. Wei Tao·ming, Chinese ambassador to the United States. In the autumn of 1945 we shall celebrate the seventy·fifth anniversary of the opening of Ursinus College. One year ago we set out to raise an Anniversary Fund of 8150,000 to supply the most press· ing of our needs. To date we have received a total of 883.000 in gifts and pledges. This is a most encouragin g response from a very large number of alumni and friends. Manycontributionshavecome from alumni overseas. I hope that during the next month a very large total of contributions will come from alumni here at home. The next few years will be very important years at Ursinus College. They will be years in which
the help of the alumni will mean much. If we alumni do Ollr utmost to help our College . \OW, Ursinus will be able, both during the war and in the years that follow, to serve well and generollsly. It seems to me that those of liS who are not in the armed forces have a special obligation in this matter.
