The most constant thing in life is change. Today is never quite like yesterday. Tomorrow will differ from today. You, high school graduates , are entering a world vastly different from the world in which your parents have been living. We are involved in a great war. Some of us may become involved in military If called upon, we have a fundamental service through choice or compulsion. obligation to do our part without shirking or evasion. We have another fundamental obligation-to prepare ourselves to se r ve our country, state, and community in the peace that most assuredly will follow this war. The President of the United States and many other of our national leaders have frequently and repeatedly urged young people to continue their formal educational training. The Nation must go on after the present war is settled. Skilled hands and trained minds will be needed as never before. THE greatest contribution you can make to this Nation, to your family, and to yourself is to secure for yourself as much training as you can to fit yourself for the tasks ahead. The best place to obtain that training is in a technological ·college where a broad cultural base is emphasized, as at Michigan State College. More than 450 well-trained persons make up the teaching faculty, exclusive of the research and extension staffs, including some of the world's outstanding scholars and scientists. A few of the 70 buildings, representing an investment in excess of $15,000,000, are pictured in this booklet. The campus is quite generally considered as one of the most beautiful in America, with hundreds of varieties of trees and shrubs, extensive gardens and nurseries contributing to the enjoyment of all and to the use of students in forestry, botany, and landscape architecture for laboratory purposes. There are to be found here strong cultural the scientific and departments supporting technical courses. Opportunities are pro vided the components of a balanced education. the acquisition of all of for The people of Michigan have built here a Its facilities for study, great university. training and development are available for your use.

J{.':. -'11:' Freshman Week FRESHMAN WEEK, to be held in 1942 from September 21 to 25, is ar r anged to help new students plan their college program, to acquaint them with the teaching staff, courses, and traditions, and to prepare for successful work in the fall term. New students meet first by divisions, then each of the 100 faculty advisers assigned to Freshmen meets with his group of approximately 25 advisees. The first-term schedule of classes is arranged, physical education and other tests are taken, and registration is completed. A social program during Freshman Week helps to make the new student feel at home , and new friendships are formed which last throughout the years . Advisory Program DURING Freshman Week, and throughout the Freshman and Sophomore years, each student is under direct supervision of a member of the faculty. Nearly 200 faculty members assist with the Advisory Program. During his last two years the student receives the personal attention of the head of the department in which he majors. In this way, he is encouraged to make fullest and best use of his time. Personal contact with members of the faculty, from Freshman Week until graduation, is a potent influence in the student's life . • State's campus is among country's most beautiful. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT The United States is at war. Until final victory is won all our energies must be used to increase the military, industrial, and agricultural strength of our nation. The demand for adequately trained men and women has increased and will continue to increase throughout the successful prose cution of the war and in the reconstruction that will follow. An accelerated program, replacing the Calendar printed on the fol lowing page, has been adopted by Michigan State College. The War program operates on a four-quarter basis. NEW STUDENTS ARE URGED TO BEGIN THEIR COLLEGE COURSE AT THE OPEN ING OF THE SUMMER QUARTER, JUNE 23,1942. In this Summer Quarter, new students may take a full term of College work, including the first term of Military Training. By regular attend ance in the Summer quarters, students may complete requirements for degrees in four-year courses at the end of Spring term, 1945. Young men should study carefully the Military Training program offered at Michigan State College. The R.O.T.C. now includes five units: Infantry, Field Artillery, Coast Artillery, Cavalry, and Quartermaster. Two years of basic Military Training are required of all physically able men students. Students accepted at the close of the Sophomore year for Advanced Training may continue through six additional terms. After successful completion of the Advanced Training, they will be commis sioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army.

What Will It Cost at M. S. C.? How much money will I need for the three terms of my Freshman year at Michigan State College? In a period of rising prices, the College is making every effort to continue to provide educational opportunities at reasonable cost. Many items in the student's budget have not been increased, and in many other expenditures the increases have been slight. The College fee remains $40 per term; room costs in College residence halls for both men and women remain unchanged; food costs may vary some, depending upon commodity prices. Costs of clothing, travel, personal items, etc., of course, always vary with the individual student and are beyond the control of the College. The following tables of estimated expenses for the Freshman year will help to answer questions about costs at Michigan State College: MEN WOMEN Matriculation . . ... ... .
