BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[March 10

T h e addresses presented at these convocations are being published in a University of Illinois bulletin, and the bulletin will be available to all who may be interested. Other programs of a similar nature are being studied; for example, a series of local forums for students, which are now under way. As an extracurricular program, provision has been made for training in special services such as watchmen and guards, fire fighters, radio operations, first aid training, Red Cross work, panic and riot duty, observation of air and highway traffics, physical fitness, and the like. A total of 526 students are now enrolled in these activities under the supervision of the faculty and of the officers of various student organizations. Miscellaneous Activities It would be impossible to list in a short space the full scope of the other activities in which students and faculty are engaged. There is, for example, the Information Center. All documents from the Army and Navy Departments and from the Director of the Selective Service are sent to this center so that prompt and authoritative advice may be available to students regarding their future plans. Lists of special occupations in relation to the programs of the University have been prepared for all faculty advisers. T h e Information Center is closely related to the University Committee on Selective Service Deferment and this committee, in turn, is constantly in communication with Selective Service Boards throughout the State. A branch of the Information Center has been established in the University Library where books, pamphlets, placards and other war materials are open to inspection. Officers of the library are preparing selected reading lists bearing on war problems and duties for the use of students, facultv, and citizens of the State. In order to maintain coordination of the many new war activities with the normal activities of the University, a Central W a r Emergency Committee with Provost Albert J. H a r n o as Chairman and composed of chairmen of important standing committees was set up as soon as war was declared. This committee is both a clearing center and a policy recommending body of the greatest value to the administration of the University. Morale Even at this early date, the gallant struggle of our armed forces against bitter odds shows that, in the long view, the machines coming from our factories will do what our men are able to make them do. This is the problem of morale. All of the teaching, all of the research, and all of the special projects mentioned above stretch their roots to what we, as the citizens of the State, believe in and are prepared furiously to act upon. Morale, however, cannot be taught in courses. It is not measured with a ruler or weighed in a balance. T h e confidence, the faith, and the endurance which it engenders, however, can be diffused from person to person in the daily life of each community. T h e University of Illinois, therefore, pledges not only its resources in knowledge, equipment, and research, but the integrity of its spirit to the responsibilities which it shares with the citizens of the State and of the nation in a time of great peril.
