...doctors made detailed records on selected Naval Aviation cadets, Communications officers, and chaplains. Later they kept tabs on Theological students and business executives. Last year, using Hygiene Department records and interviews, Grant began a four-year study of problems presented in the Class of '52. If possible the doctors hope to follow up this group as they are doing with men from their original project. Adding information on special cases, and on men with academic troubles, they will correlate this project's findings with the other data at the end of the period...

...this calls attention to the next entry, the '50 publication. There is more hope here, though. The Council has shrewdly plucked the album portfolio away from the annual class committees and handed it over to a permanent self-producing group which hopes eventually to achieve independent status. The Council also agreed to make the thing a yearbook, aimed at all classes rather than an album confined to seniors...
