Even yet solutions have not been found to all of the problems that have been rais ed However, the majority of the faculty members are experienced and loyal to the tradi tions of the College, and wherever necessary they have been willing to accept additional responsibilities and work. This has made the transition easier than would otherwise have been the case. Moreover, the new members of the staff have all taken up their work with enthusiasm and are making real contributions to the spirit and work and life of the College. Elsewhere in the bulletin reference will be made to the specific changes that have occurred. The College is fortunate in having on the campus two training units which add to the
college population and to the usefulness of the College. Through these training umts the

to learn that he had been seriously injured in an airplane crash at the Rochester, Minnesota, airport on September 3. William was a flying instructor and was up with an aviation student at the time of the
crash. It is not definitely known what happened to cause the crash. We are glad to report that he is on the road to recovery, but will be in the hospital for a niunber of weeks. William is the son of Fred
