Likening trends and events of the post-war world to chapters in "A Baedeker for Future Travel," Robert L. Stearns, president of the University of Colorado, addressed particularly the outstanding students at honors convocation this morning. A "Baedeker" is a guidebook for travelers popular at the beginning of the 19th century.
The 20th annual honors convocation was held in Hoch auditorium before an audience of several thousand students, faculty members, and Navy men. The University band played "The Star Spangled Banner," "Heroic March" (Guy Holmes), and "Crimson and the Blue." Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced honors other than printed on the program, and offered his congratulations to all outstanding students.
"You of the present generation and we of experience in the last World War together must write the chapters of the present guidebook." President Stearns emphasized. "While we are training men and women to meet this war emergency, we must not lose sight of humanities." he warned.

ROTC Induction Not Ordered
University of Kansas Reserve Officers Training Corps has not as yet been assigned as an army specialist training unit, Colonel Briggs, in command of the Seventh District Service said this morning.
The statement was in response to queries resulting from the induction of the ROTC at Oklahoma A & M and rumors that the same action might be taken here.
If such an action were taken before the end of the semester, advanced ROTC students would be placed in active specialized service Colonel Briggs said, but as yet there were no indications that such a move is contemplated. Most of the universities that have received such orders have been land grant colleges, a class in which the University of Kansas does not fall.
Where the change is made the students are under regular army discipline and control and received monthly pay the same as any other soldier.
