The faculty discontinued the master's and doctoral programs, citing "vacancies in the teaching staff, the uncertainties of the war situation and the necessity for protecting the undergraduate program." Faculty members Donald H. Jones, Earl McPeak and Milton E. Gross were granted leaves of absence to serve with the armed forces, while Tom C. Morelock served in the foreign branch of the Office of War Information. The School resumed master's degree study in 1944 and doctoral study in 1946.
Faculty members (top, left to right) Donald Jones, Earl McPeak, Milton Gross and Tom C. Morelock served in World War II. By 1943, only 18 of the School's 131 students were men, resulting in a largely female copy staff (middle, 1944). Common sights on campus included Student War Board activities (third row) and military classes and drills (bottom).
