Navy V-12 News
The first definite news of the
status of the present V-12 trainees
came through from the Navy De
partment this week—the men now
on board will continue on duty at
this station at least until June of
a text year unless graduated or
eligible for discharge.
In November the V-12 will shift
into NROTC as expected, but the
positive duration of the present
program under which men are on
active duty as they study will be
eight months. However, Congres
sional action during this period
can be expected. The program can
be either extended or curtailed at
any time.
One direct result of peace in the
Pacific is the granting of permis
sion to wear civilian clothes while
on offstation have or liberty.
We're being partially reconverted
to civilian use.

Letters To The Editor
(Editor's Note:—Letters to the editor may be addressed
to the Collegian office, Carnegie Hall. Names and address
es must be included although not necessarily for publi-
cation.)
Dear Editor:
The announcement of the deatn
of Miss Gladys R. Cranmer as
given in last week's Collegian can
give no adequate recognition to
her twenty-five years of service 11.
the College and to libraries of
Pennsylvania.
!Much of her work at the Col
lege was of an instructional na
ture. She taught the use of the
Library to freshmen. She gave an
elective course in reference work
semi-annually. Last summer she
cheerfully accepted a reference
course at the Summer Library
School at a critical time for that
School, and was preparing that
course again this year. As Senior
Assistant Librarian she knew
more about the Library and its
history than anyone else, and
many a college sitident and foe
ulty member had cause to be
grateful. She gave many more
hours than she should to finding
answers to my own_problems.
