T h i s college year w i l l be a hard one! K n o w i n g this, w e
must be ready to meet it seriously and t h o u g h t f u l l y . I n every
college in our land, there w i l l be a "difference." Brothers and
their friends w i l l be missing, and every college organization,
every national fraternity w i l l be doing its share i n this time of
national crisis. The policies of last year are not those of this
year; elaborate entertainments and expensive rushings you
w i l l be spared, they are not good f o r m ! N o sacrifice is too
big for us when i t means life to some starving child, material
help to some bereaved mother, and victory to our soldiers.
Especially should w e be most w i l l i n g to accept this sacrifice,
w h e n i n so d o i n g w e f i n d again something that has l o n g been
lost—simplicity. T o serve, to economize, to be simple, are i n
some w a y applicable to every circumstance that arises. Ac-
c e p t i n g these w i t h a seriousness of purpose as o u r f r a t e r n i t y
ideals is the only w a y to meet the t r u s t that is n o w imposed
upon us.
