'*1aulcit Unm^u. WVULL£TI/S^ UPLAND, INDIANA, JULY 1946 FACENG THE IMPLICATIONS OF AN INAUGURAL The President Discusses His Philosophy of Education In the April issue this year of the North Central Association Quarterly there is an article by Dr. A. J. Brum­ baugh entitled, "Why Be a College President?" About 100 college presi­ dents are inaugurated each year; and in the Association, of which Dr. Brum­ baugh tabulates statistics, the average life of a college president is 12 years. Olie might rightfully ask, "Had you read his article, and had you seen the precarious position which he assigns to a college president, would you have accepted this responsibility?" I think I would. And it is for that reason I want to share with you some of my thoughts which have clustered around my accept­ ance of a position which is reputedly one of the most hazardous, lonely, and yet strenuous jobs into which a man may pour his life. A Christian college has a number of unique differentia, not the least of which is that its history has specific correlation with what we may term the Providences of God. It would be in­ consistent to believe that any vine of His planting with a history of pious prayers for Divine guidance and help across a series of decades would have no record of incidents in which the ruling and overruling hand of a gra­ Faculty and Students as the Processional was forming for the Baccalau­ cious God had been evidenced.

From the beginning also, differences of opinion have appeared. They make only the more necessary the examination which we are undertaking, for it is perhaps because this examination has hitherto always been postponed that points of view have been divergent and that it appears even now that this divergence is capable of bringing into jeopardy the settlement of these questions, and in consequence the future security of the world.

  • The Atomic Energy Commission
    The Atomic Energy Commission By Alice Buck July 1983 U.S. Department of Energy Office of Management Office of the Executive Secretariat Office of History and Heritage Resources Introduction Almost a year after World War II ended, Congress established the United States Atomic Energy Commission to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. Reflecting America's postwar optimism, Congress declared that atomic energy should be employed not only in the Nation's defense, but also to promote world peace, improve the public welfare, and strengthen free competition in private enterprise. After long months of intensive debate among politicians, military planners and atomic scientists, President Harry S. Truman confirmed the civilian control of atomic energy by signing the Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946.(1) The provisions of the new Act bore the imprint of the American plan for international control presented to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission two months earlier by U.S. Representative Bernard Baruch. Although the Baruch proposal for a multinational corporation to develop the peaceful uses of atomic energy failed to win the necessary Soviet support, the concept of combining development, production, and control in one agency found acceptance in the domestic legislation creating the United States Atomic Energy Commission.(2) Congress gave the new civilian Commission extraordinary power and independence to carry out its awesome responsibilities. Five Commissioners appointed by the President would exercise authority for the operation of the Commission, while a general manager, also appointed by the President, would serve as chief executive officer. To provide the Commission exceptional freedom in hiring scientists and professionals, Commission employees would be exempt from the Civil Service system.

DODD Deputy Director -General: SIR HERBERT BROADLEY TF:r STATE OF FOOD !D AGRICULTURE-1943 A Survey of World Conditions and Prospects FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Washington, D. C., U.S.A. September 1948 FOREWORD HE STATE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, 1948 has been prepared at the request of member governments as a basic document for the intergovernmental consultations on plans and programs at the Fourth Session of the FAO Conference in November; but it is also addressed to the general public. The world still suffers from a shortage of food, fibers, and forest products, even if the situation may become less acute in the current year.Hence, itis important to ascertain to what extent governments have programs which will put an end to scarcities within a reasonable time and go on to provide a more adequate level of supplies, par- ticularly in the low-incorne countries. From the information available to FAO, I am convinced of two things: first, much more is being done to expand production around the world than is generally realized (and another Conference document, National Pro g- ress in Food and Agriculture Programs, will illustrate this); second, what is being done, although so noteworthy, isfar from sufficient to make any significant improvement upon the low living standards of most peoples.

The Soviet Government has always held that the spirit of revenge is a poor counsellor in such affairs. It would be equally incorrect to identify Hitler Germany with the German people, although the German people cannot divest themselves of responsibility for Germany’s aggression, and for its most grave consequences. The Soviet people experienced the unparalleled suffering of enemy occupation, as a result of the invasion of the Soviet Union by the German armies. Our losses are great and inestimable. Other peoples of Europe, and not of Europe alone, will long feel the heavy losses and hardships caused by the war which Germany imposed. It is natural, therefore, that the problem of Germany’s fate should be agitating the minds not only of the German people, but also of other peoples who are trying to safeguard themselves for the future, and to prevent a renewal of German aggression.

  • Government Records Concerning the Roswell Crash
    ...... ·- .. · United States General Accounting Office GAO· Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-262046 July 28, 1995 The Honorable Steven H. Schiff House of Representatives Dear Mr. Schiff: On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Anny Air Field (RAAF) public information office in Roswell, New Mexico, reported the crash and recovery of a "flying disc." Army Air Forces personnel from the RM.F's 509th Bomb Group were credited with the recovery. The following day, the press reported that the Commanding General of the U.S. Eighth Air Force, Fort Worth, Texas, announced that RAAF personnel had recovered a crashed radar-tracking (weather) balloon, not a "flying disc." After nearly 50 years, speculation continues on what crashed at Roswell. Some observers believe that the object was of extraterrestrial origin. In the July 1994 Report of Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident, the Air Force did not dispute that something happened near Roswell, but reported that the most likely source of the wreckage was from a balloon-launched classified government project designed to determine the state of Soviet nuclear weapons research. The debate on what crashed at Roswell continues. Concerned that the Department of Defense (DOD) may not have provided you with all available infonnation on the crash, you asked us to determine the requirements for reporting air accidents similar to the crash near Roswell and identify any government records concerning the Roswell crash. We conducted an extensive search for government records related to the crash near Roswell. We examined a wide range of classified and unclassified documents dating from July 1947 through the 1950s.
