and WASSOOKEAG SCHOOL- CAMP

The peace-time educational system developed at Wassookeag School-Camp and Wassookeag School from 1926 to 1928 has become a pattern for war.

The colleges are operating on an accelerated schedule ; the draft is digging deeper into the ranks of youth ; the stride of events is lengthening toward complete mobilization of man power.

All this demands that we do more for boy power and do it quickly.

The boy who previously entered college at eighteen, the candidate of average or better ability, can and must enter college at seventeen. The boy who entered college at seventeen, the boy of outstanding ability, can and must enter at sixteen.

Candidates for college can save a year without sacrificing sound standards if they begin not with the senior year in school, but with the freshman or sophomore year. Now more than ever before we must look ahead surely and plan ahead thoroughly.

First- FILL THE SUMMER VACUUM

Wassookeag's scholastic system was introduced at the School-Camp in 1926 as a summer study-program for boys thirteen to nineteen. This program was developed to meet the need for greater continuity in the educational process, the need for constructive use of the long vacation months. The purpose—to speed up preparation for college by stimulating higher attainment and by effecting a saving of time.

Second- DEVELOP A YEAR-ROUND PROGRAM

In 1928 the speed-up program of the summer session at the School-Camp was extended to a year-round educational system by the founding of Wassookeag School. By actual count over a period of twelve years, the majority of Wassookeag students have begun the school year in July rather than September—an "accelerated program" on the secondary level.

Third- BEGIN NOW

Wassookeag's function in education has been the planning and directing of time-saving programs for schoolboys. Over six hundred such programs, each different because each boy is different, have been followed through at the School and the School-Camp. Send for information regarding the extent of scholastic schedule and the types of speed-up programs that schoolboys have carried successfully, that can be built into a well-balanced school experience and a well-balanced summer vacation.

Office of the President Brunswic\, Maine 7s[ovember 10, 1942

In the twenty-five years that I have been President of Bowdoin I have never found it so difficult to send a message to the alumni. The reasons are obvious. As I write these lines, the bill providing for service of eighteen and nineteen year old boys is still in conference. If the Senate provision holds, there will be not many students left in college after the beginning of the second semester. The Army has already served notice that students in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps are subject to call without advance notice at any time. The ~h{avy is still holding to its original plan for V-l, V-5, V-7, but the exigencies of the war may bring about changes even there. I remar\ed the other day to the undergraduates that the College was very much in the same situation that they were in; most of them would be called before long but they could not tell just when or under what circumstances. The College can foresee very grave problems but has not yet been informed about the way in which the government will use our resources and plant. Some things are clear; that the ordinary processes of the College are out for the duration; that the College may have little to say about the selection of students to be sent by the Army for training here; and that the study of the humanities must ta\e a very secondary place until the victory is won. Does this all mean that we should fold our arms and resign ourselves to our fate? The answer of course is 7\[o. The College is \eeping closely in touch with the developments in Washington; is striving to get certain units

for special training; and is planning to receive freshmen in January, freshmen who shall have finished three and a half years of high school or preparatory school wor\, who are recommended by their school authorities and who are under eighteen, preferably about seventeen, so that they may have at least one year of college wor\ before becoming subject to the draft. Alumni can aid very much by sending names of such boys to our Director of Admis- sions and by making our new policy widely \nown. The alumni can also contribute this year to the Alumni Fund which certainly we shall need more than ever. There will of course be a falling off in revenue in the second semester; and we also want to see to it that no worthy lad in high school or preparatory school under eighteen who would profit by a year of college wor\ and life should be denied that opportunity for lac\ of funds. Wihen the next Alumnus is published I hope to be able to give a more detailed statement. ?"{ow I only wish the alumni to recognize that so many of the things in which they are greatly interested, athletics, helping promising students not only to begin but to finish their college education, fraternities, literary and other intellectual activities, all those things will soon be on a totally different footing. College as usual is out. But after the victory

is won, we must have the College ready to welcome bac\ those who have left as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors; we must study and restudy our plans, our curriculum, all the phases of college life and wor\, to ma\e sure that when the necessity for special training in special s\ills has passed and the colleges of liberal arts return to the tas\s for which they were born and nurtured, so far at least as we at Bowdoin are concerned, liberal education shall not perish from the earth.

work for the degree, no one can possibly tell. We must as a college turn from the studious paths of peace to the stern and all-compelling duties of war. We must be ready to change, convert, and carry on. Probably under the dire stress of circumstance we shall be obliged materially to alter our curriculum and to emphasize the useful, as distinguished from the liberal, arts and sciences. And such a change our charter, granted in 1794, permits us to make. "Nevertheless I would not have you for a moment underestimate the worth of the education you have received in this college of liberal arts. Some of us believe that one of the contributing causes of the chaos in our modern world has been the fact that in so many nations, due to the First World War, thousands of young men and young women grew to maturity without the kind of education that is rightly called liberal and without having received in their early days emphasis on the spiritual and ideal side of life.

tinue intercollegiate athletics. The rulings of the Office of Defense Transportation have made the carrying on of that program very difficult, but most colleges expect to carry on, eliminating long trips, as long as the men and money hold out. Intercol- legiate athletics should not, however, be carried on to the extent that this part of the program interferes with the plan to reach and condition all students. The staff and athletic facilities must be used in such a way that all men in college can benefit to the greatest extent.

Now there can be no questioning the need for athletics for all. We have an obligation to the Army and Navy, and to the young men in Col- lege, to see to it that every man is physically conditioned to his capacity of strength and vitality. American specialists in athletics, our best athletes, have always been better than the best of other nations. We have consistantly won the Olympic games. But in Germany and Japan all the young men have gone through extended periods of physical training and hard work. BATES —

The awards have been based on competitive examinations (in English, mathematics or Latin, and general information), and on the general school record, both academic and extra-curricular. For some years now the leading candidates have been invited to Brunswick for interviews. The first State of Maine Scholars entered in the fall of 1930. So far sixty-three have been appointed and 46 have graduated. Of the 46, 29 graduated with either general or subject honors, nine of them summa cum laude; 14 are lettermen, four of them major sport captains; and 23, or just half, have contributed significantly to one of the four major fields of non- athletic activity, five of them being managing editors of the Orient.

NEW HOME OF THE ETA CHARGE OF THETA DELTA CHI

This newest addition to Bowdoin buildings, completed in February, stands upon the foundations of the old house built in 1904. Georgian in design and construct- ed of Gonic brick, this fine, modern fraternity house is the product of Felix A. Burton '07 who designed the Alpha Delta Phi House and the reconstruction of Massachusetts Hall. Through the co-operation of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, a joint service entrance in the rear has permitted a notable improvement in the landscaping of both properties. The Committee whose labors of about ten years brought the building into existence, included Harry L. Palmer '04, Chair- man, Prof. Wilmot B. Mitchell '90, Dr. John H. Morse '97, E. Farrington Abbott '03, Dr. John A. Wentworth '09, John H. Joy '12, Roliston G. Woodbury 22 and H. Philip Chapman '30. 18 BOWDOIN ALUMNUS

The peace-time educational system developed at Wassookeag School-Camp and Wassookeag School from 1926 to 1928 has become a pattern for war.

The colleges are operating on an accelerated schedule ; the draft is digging deeper into the ranks of youth ; the stride of events is lengthening toward complete mobilization of man power.

All this demands that we do more for boy power and do it quickly.

Office of the President

Brunswic\, Maine February 24, 1943 I As am writing this letter to \eep the graduates and friends of the college in touch with the situation here I realize more and more that the war is closing in upon us each day. As I loo\ out over the campus I can see detachments of the meteorological unit marching in squads to the class-rooms for their instruction, and uniforms now on the campus almost equal civilian clothes. At the present moment the number of students in the regular college is 366. As I prophesied in my earlier communications to the alumni, the only men now on the campus are those in the 'Njxval Reserve who are to be allowed to stay here until Commencement unless there is great emergency, men in the Army Enlisted Reserve who are pre-medical students' or who are majoring in science, a few men in the Marine Reserve Corps, some over eighteen who have not yet been drafted, and those under eighteen. In order to give the proper instruction to the 200 men in the meteorological unit we have been obliged to expand our teaching force in mathematics and physics, and so great is the scarcity of teachers in these subjects that we are using three women all of whom have graduate degrees and all of whom have had experience in college teaching. We admitted on January 2jth, 67 freshmen and 2 special students, and so far the reports of these freshmen in class have been very satisfactory. Many of them have already been ta\en into fraternities, and through these young men we shall try to maintain the continuity both of the College and of the fraternities. The plan announced by the l\[avy for V-12 will ma\e it more difficult to recruit seventeen-year-old boys for college, since the ?iavy has opened its training units to such lads. We do not yet \now whether Bowdoin will have a l^aval training unit or not. There has been of course a great deal of restlessness on the campus particularly since most unfortunately the Army made contradictory statements about the time when members of the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps would, be called to active duty. As I write some 55 members of the college are to report at Fort Devens on March 3rd. Many of the alumni were very reluctant t& believe me when I said last summer that probably we should not be able to maintain an athletic program very long. I do not see how there can be intercollegiate football games next fall, though we may be able to form some sort of a team if we allow freshmen to play, as we undoubtedly shall. The alumni in general and the public at large are not ;yet aware of the impacts that have been made upon the colleges of the country by the war. 7\[ext fall a lad of eighteen will have no decisions to ma\e so far as college is concerned; he will not have to decide whether he is to go to college or not; he will not have to decide what college is to be his choice; he will not have to decide what studies he will ta\e in college; he

will not have to decide how his college course is going to be financed. At eighteen he will go into the Army or J^lavy. If he is fortunate he may be assigned to some college for a period not to exceed four semesters and given whatever training the Army or the l^[avy thin\s advisable. If the war should by any miracle end in 1943 or 1944 this will not be disastrous; but if the war should last for several years and we should have a generation of young men brought up who never had to ma\e decisions of this \ind, it will be interesting to see how such a lac\ of training will affect them in the future. In conclusion I am happy to say that the wor\ in the Radio School is going on ad- mirably under the competent direction of Lieutenant Commander Little, and that the earlier reports from the meteorological faculty are to the effect that the Army air men enlisted in that wor\ are enthusiastic, wide-awa\e and attractive. The College, however, is a very different place from what most of you \new, and it will be more and more different as the months go by. We are holding on rather grimly to the idea of a liberal education, and in some respects there are encouraging things to report. Lately some members of the faculty have published very important contributions in various fields of scholarship. The contest presenting original one-act plays by undergraduates was excellent, and the program of "Bowdoin on the Air" consisting of verse entirely written by students here showed that even in these dar\ days some few were \eeping alive the literary traditions of the college. I should be very glad at any time to write to any member of the alumni more fully of conditions as they are at Bowdoin. A^T^r.^J^. President. F E B R U AR Y 19 43 Midwinter Graduation

Eighty-one Granted Degrees. Professor Means of the Classical Department Reports Tradition-Breaking Event

ALTHOUGH more than one of the oldest alumni are not without their reminiscences of Midsummer Commencements, never before has Bowdoin had three successive Com- mencements in eight months, and this time the campus was "white with snow," the skies mostly of a leaden hue. Nature seemed in grim harmony with the stern spirit of Man. However, on the evening of Sunday, January 24th, a "large and enthusiastic" audience enjoyed an anniversary concert of "certain of [Robert Burns] his Songs sung to the Airs for which he wrote them." A score of songs had been selected by the (scholarly) re- searches of Professor Stanley B.

Delta Upsilon Members Recount Their Experiences As Hosts To Mrs. Roosevelt

Avery Spear started something back in 1925 when he and his undergraduate associates in Delta Up- silon decided to present the College with an annual lecture. Successive undergraduate groups have dug into their movie and cigarette change and have perpetuated this academic function in fifteen of the seventeen years. Although somewhat of a stir was created when the lectureship brought to Bowdoin Alexander Meiklejohn, that stormy petrel in cloistered educational circles of the Coolidge era; although eyebrows may have been lifted as Brunswick greeted Norman Thom- as, pioneer and perennial socialist, and lifted again in greeting Alexan- der (Came to Dinner) Woolcott, and Felix Frankfurter, New Deal thorn in reactionary New England hides—still the Delta Upsilon lectureship remained an academic function for academics in spite of occasional storming of doors by barbarians.

Athletics

to the present time there has Upbeen at least some intercollegiate competition in all of our regular sports, with the exception of hockey. There have been no freshman or junior varsity teams, and since the football season, there have been fewer contests in varsity sports than are normally held. The intramural program has continued as usual, and an interfraternity hockey schedule was started for the first time in many years. The interfraternity fall road race and the interfraternity track meet, usually held in the spring, were both won by Alpha Delta Phi, while the interfraternity swimming meet was won by Delta Upsilon.

and WASSOOKEAG SCHOOL- CAMP

The peace-time educational system developed at Wassookeag School-Camp and Wassookeag School from 1926 to 1928 has become a pattern for war.

The colleges are operating on an accelerated schedule ; the draft is digging deeper into the ranks of youth ; the stride of events is lengthening toward complete mobilization of man power.

All this demands that we do more for boy power and do it quickly.

Both endeavors have been productive. The response to the Alumni Fund appeal has already exceeded that of any previous year. Term Expires 1945 1942-43 The sixty-seven freshmen admitted in January and the more than one hundred who Ashmead White '12, Perley S.

The Alumni of Bowdoin have demonstrated that they can meet Bowdoin's twin needs. The continuity of the College is assured through Dollars and Boys.

Early on the morning of April 23, David L. Toothaker, College Watch- man, discovered fire in the DKE House. Sleeping occupants were roused and hurried, in scant attire, to the below freezing temperature outside while the Brunswick Fire De- partment did an efficient job of quenching the fire. Damage, estimated at between $10,000 and $15,000, was confined largely to one suite and to basement rooms, although a considerable amount of damage to fur- nishings and supplies resulted from smoke and water.

and WASSOOKEAG SCHOOL-CAMP

The peace-time educational system developed at Wassookeag School-Camp and Wassookeag School from 1926 to 1928 has become a pattern for war.

The colleges are operating on an accelerated schedule ; the draft is digging deeper into the ranks of youth; the stride of events is lengthening toward complete mobilization of man power. All this demands that we do more for boy power and do it quickly.

First-FILL THE SUMMER VACUUM

Second- DEVELOP A YEAR-ROUND PROGRAM

Third- BEGIN NOW

Wassookeag's function in education has been the planning and directing of time-saving pro-

grams for schoolboys. Over six hundred such programs, each different because each boy is different, have been followed through at the School and the School-Camp. Send for information regarding the extent of scholastic schedule and the types of speed-up programs that schoolboys have carried successfully, that can be built into a well-balanced school experience and a well-balanced summer vacation.

MUST war advertising get lost in the mass of planes, tanks, guns and ships that are roar- ing through the magazines today?

We don't think so. We believe the McCann-Erickson advertisements on this page show that war advertisements can be made just as distinctive as their peacetime brothers.

It is not easy to do this.

It calls for creative skill of high order.

It also calls, we have found, for a sure knowledge of the factors that make people look, read and remember.
