Excerpt from The Lantern, 1942The 1942 lantern is published with a purpose. That purpose is to preserve in print and picture the '41 '42 session of Lambuth Col lege. This year has been a happy one in ways but it has also been a sad one, for during this year our country has entered into a war. Some of our fellow students have been called to serve in the armed forces of the nation and others have enlisted in the reserve forces. Such losses have been keenly felt by the student body and yet we realize that we must make many sacrifices in the years to come. Those who are older than we have made the charge that we are soft that we cannot stand up under responsibility and hardship. We believe that they have misjudged us and that in reality we can and will live up to the destiny that seems to be ours.In view of conditions, we of the lan'i' N staff feel an added responsibility in presenting the 1942 lantern, for we realize that an annual which would catch the spirit of Lambuth College of this year would catch the spirit of youth in a world at war. So it was that we decided upon our theme for this year - that of stalwart and yet fun-loving knights. We knights of Lambuth dote on hilarity and pleasure but we are not afraid of work nor oblivious of the serious things of life. It is our hope that the '42 lantern may feel the pulse of college life in this critical year and-crystalize it into permanent form so that in some future year you may draw up to your hearthside and taking this volume in hand, go back in your memory to those days when Lambuth was our home. If we are successful in this, our long and weary hours of work and hair-tearing will not have been in vain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
