With thU froduatin? class, the bulk of veteran enrollment here kt A AM paaeef beyond college fate* into the world of makmir a living This is true throughout the nation—the last of the large veteran Haases m graduating. Four year* ago this nation’s demobili zation program was at its peak Divisions «f soldiers were discharged daily, and ships were being decofnimssioned rg^it and left The war was over, and the boys were being brought hofne.

These Inen and women were taking advantage of the opportunity fiven them through the GI Bill I For many of these veterans, college wgs a dream, aomething they knew about t>ut couldn't afford. The GI Kill made it pmaibie for them to pursue a college edu cation For others, the GI Bill made the wgy through college a lot easier The foresight demonstrated by men who were instrumental in gaining pas sage of the GI Bill will be praised by gen erations to ceme. The GJ Bill has raised the educational level of men within the veteran ages far above what it would have been had there been no war, or no GI Bill. To the grateful nation who has sup- ported and past for the GI Bill, those of us who have attended college under its directions offer a sincere. ‘Thanks ” We are now prepared for a better p<s- sit ion in life. We will lie able to repay, through oi|r taxes, the costs of the edu cation we have received at governmental expense. We shall never forget that the Gil Bill helped us when we misled it.
