Excerpt from The Chanticleer, Vol. 31: 1943 Herein we present the thirty first volume of Duke University's Chanticleer. It is a war-time volume, and the finished product, therefore, is quite different from the original plans made last September. Yet, we hope that you will find in this book a portion of that spirit which is Duke and which makes us love our University. The staff has enjoyed putting this yearbook together for you, and if we have succeeded in representing the fine character of our University, then we will have accomplished the purpose for which we have worked this year. We hope that through its pages the students will find a reminder of the joys, problems, and friendships of their college life.
