JANUARY, 1942 The UNIVERSITY and NATIONAL DEFENSE This year, as every year, the University of Maine stands for service to the State and the Nation. But this year the University faces a need for service beyond that expected in ordinary times Your University through its stu­ dents, its faculty, and its facilities is contributing to National Defense in whatever ways it can while still adhering to its primary principle of providing sound educational opportunities.

TRAINING for PRODUCTION

ON the campus of the University and in eight cities and towns in the State the University is offering men and women special training to increase their value in the national war effort in the important battle of production.

TW ENTY-EIGHT different courses in Engineering, Science, and Management, directed by the University under the auspices of the U S Office of Education, and for the most part taught by faculty members from the University, are adding skilled workers to the available manpower for carrying on the fight at the assembly lines, in the factories, or in the field

T HE training of new workers and the up-grading of those already employed are both a part of the program of the University in its work in training for production. Through this part of the University's share in the defense effort more workers with better skills are continually available for the vital production efforts of the nation

Courses offered include

Organic Chemistry Electric Power Generation Combustion Calculations Electrical Measurements The Chemistry of Pulp and Paper Radio Measurements Quantitative Analysis Fundamentals of Radio Metals and Corrosion Radio Systems Plotting and Estimating Elementary Engineering Drafting Plane Surveying Advanced Engineering Drafting Elementary Structures Internal Combustion Engines Advanced Theory of Structures Engineering Calculations and Mechan­ Construction Methods ical Laboratory Highway Construction Materials of Engineering Theoretical Hydraulics Aerodynamics Soil Testing Physics Soil Mechanics and Foundations Mathematics for Engineers Accountancy

Courses are being given at the University and in Auburn, Augusta, Bangor, Bucksport, Chisholm, Lewiston, Portland, and Presque Isle.

Without the faithfulness, generosity, and hard work of Mrs Gilbert Stanford, ’35 these loyal alumni, the campaign could never have achieved the goal. Thomas N. Weeks, ’16 To the area chairmen and library fund committee members, alumni owe a tre­ mendous vote of appreciation. Upon them not only fell the responsibility for making plans but also a lion’s share of the work. This meant personal sacrifice, involving much travel and the spending of considerable sums at personal expense, all because A l u m n u s A d v is o r y B o a r d of their desire to see the job done well and to see the University make progress.

ervice to the nation in peace and war "

Following the last World War a bronze and marble group was placed in the lobby of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company build­ ing in New York. On it are inscribed these words, “Service to the nation in peace and war.” They are more than words. They are the very spirit of the entire Bell System organization. In these stirring days, we pledge ourselves again to the service of the nation . . . so that “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
