APRIL, 1948 THE MAINE ALUMNUS 3 ...you enhance, your own prestige » In addressing the graduates of the February class, Jim Totman '16 said: “It has always seemed to me a matter of only fair play for an Alumnus to maintain a continuing interest in his or her Alma Mater. This in- terest should not be passive. As a matter of simple reciprocity, if one may resolve it to such a basis, such interest should be in terms of continuing loyalty and tangible support. As an active Alumnus there will be many opportunities for you to render this type of service. Be ever ready to do your best. For many years to come your prestige will depend in part on that of the University of Maine. You will be known as a “Maine man” or a “Maine woman.” As you help increase the standing of the University, you enhance your own prestige.” H ere's how you can help. The new Union Building which is to be built on campus will add immeasur­ ably to the prestige of the University. That building can become a reality only through the generous subscription of every alumnus.

KAPLANPROOFS2_10.24.19 10/28/2019 1:48 PM ORIGINS OF NATO: 1948-1949 Lawrence S. Kaplan* OVERVIEW The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) originated in the trauma of World War II. The human cost of that war at last motivated Europe to remove the barriers to economic integration that had promoted warfare among the nation-states since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.1 The devastation of western Europe also inspired the United States as the major victor in that war to abandon its traditional isolation from European political and military affairs.2 Accelerating these fundamental changes was the awareness on both sides of the Atlantic of the threat Soviet-led Communism posed to the future of Western democracy.3 However, recognizing the necessity did not equate with effective immediate action to cope with these two challenges in the post-war world. Too many obstacles had to be overcome.
