However, for the information of new members of the State Board of Education and others who read this report, who are not entirely familiar with the history and scope of this state college“ the current report covers a considerably greater period than the calendar year, January 1, 1945 to December 31, 1943. A report confined to the activities of California Polytechnic School during the wan-year, 1945, would undoubtedly bring praise to this institution for its contributions to the war effort‘ but it would hardly afford a clear picture of this state technical college's normal activities during a pre-war and post-war period. With this in mind‘ the report has been divided into three sections headed: PRE—WAR ACTIVITIES, DURATION ACTIVITIES, and POST-WAR ACTIVITIES. In order to cover this greater time-period it has been necessary to greatly con- dense the statistical material which ordinarily appears in this institution's annual report. Those who are interested in more statisti— cal information are invited to read the previous annual reports which. are available to each Board member.
