Late in January when the cadets were still recuperating from the past vacation blues Joe E. Brown brought his smile to Western. What a day! The Corps put on a snappy review, a special assembly, and a real welcome for its famous guest. Joe said he had no speech to make and then proceeded to give the most profound talk of the year. Commenting on his experiences in the late war, he reminded the cadets:

"there is nothing wrong with the world. It's the people in it who cause our troubles for failing to accept their responsibilities."

Joe saw his duty and performed it with a smile. Come back to W.M.A, Joe E. Brown, we need your spirit.
