He who undertakes to gather and publish records at once invites trouble and criticism. It can only be said that every effort has been used to make the list of men in service accurate and complete, and, whenever it is discovered that a name has been omitted, it will usually be found that the fault does not lie entirely with Phillips Academy. Circulars, return postcards, and letters have been sent, at one time or another, to every person on the address list of the school ; and no avenue of approach to military and naval data has been left untraversed. The most difficult problem has been to decide where to draw the line in including men in service. If every Andover man who contributed in some way to winning our victory were mentioned, this book would certainly have to be enlarged to several volumes. It was necessary, therefore, to draw a formal and tech- nical line between civilians and those who wore the uniform of our government. Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. workers have, however, been included, under separate headings. Adherence to this principle unfor- tunately forbids the inclusion of such distinguished graduates as Professor James Hardy Ropes, Mr. James G. Neale, Mr. Frederick C. Walcott, Mr. Sanford H. Freund, Judge William H. Wadhams, Mr. Vance McCormick, Mr. George F. Smith, Mr. George B. Case, Mr. F. Abbot Goodhue, and many 9 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR others whose work in various governmental capacities of a civihan character has been notable. The editor is under much obligation to Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Mr. Alfred R. Ripley, and Mr. James C. Sawyer of the Trustees, and to Mr. Horace M. Poyn- ter and Mr. George T. Eaton of the Faculty, for im- portant and grateful assistance in the preparation of these records. He feels a special debt of gratitude to Professor Charles H. Forbes, who undertook to carry on the Academy War Record when the editor was absent from Andover in the military service. C. M. F. June 1, 1919, Andover, Massachusetts. 10 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME " To speak of Fame a venture is. There's little here can bide, But we may face the centuries. And dare the deepening tide: For though the dust that's part of us To dust again be gone. Yet here shall beat the heart of us, — The School we handed on." Andover Hill in the spring of 1917 seemed little different in architecture or landscape from what it had been in the years immediately preceding. The great spreading elms still reached aloft to form the stately arch which remains the school's most distin- guishing feature; the buildings, oddly combining the antique and the modern, the ugly and the graceful, nevertheless blended picturesquely to form a scene which will always have about it much that is roman- tic ; the level lawns and playing-fields stretched out in wide expanse, and beyond them, across the valleys, one could still catch glimpses of the immemorial hills. Externally the old Academy stood apparently immu- table, unaffected visibly by time or circumstance. Brick and mortar, trees and ridges, do not change readily; only decades, or some mighty convulsion of nature, can effect transformations that endure. Yet there was a real change, of a kind that comes but seldom in a century and then only because of a disturbance in the hearts of men. One felt it in the air, or caught its echoes even before he had mounted the Hill. A new force, spiritual but yet dynamic, was making cheeks glow and pulses beat more rapidly. It 11 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR led the historian to hark back to that day, more than one hundred and thirty-nine years before, when, while the nation, hardly born, was struggling for very exist- ence, the school too had come into being, cradled in the midst of the passions of war. Now that nation, grown to maturity, was once more engaged in a contest for human liberty; and the men of Phillips Academy, a national institution, were reincarnating the virtue of its founders. With that zeal which a righteous war alone can inspire, the school of Samuel Phillips, Revo- lutionary patriot, was preparing its sons to battle with Apollyon. And so one met on the paths young fellows in army khaki, clear-eyed, erect, firm of step; one listened on holiday afternoons to the stirring sound of drum and bugle, beating out the tramp of companies ; and one heard in chapel and classroom much talk of war and praise of staunch fighting men. A stupendous crisis in world development had confronted civiliza- tion, and the fate of the country was to rest largely with its boys, — boys like those who for decades had played care-free beneath the shadow of the venerable oaks and elms. Boys of the same breed had marched in 1814 through the streets of Boston, shouldering picks and shovels, to work on the city fortifications; and a generation later, in 1861, their children had formed the Ellsworth Guards to defend the Union. This business of 1917 was even more serious, almost a cataclysm ; but the boys were not to fail. Phillips Academy cannot, of course, claim any spe- cial credit for its promptness in rallying to the support of the nation; a similar loyalty is common, we trust, to all American institutions established on democratic and liberal ideas. Schools of its type are essentially American, with nothing exotic or alien about them. 12 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME They are sprung from native soil and nurtured in American air. But Andover, unlike some other centers of education, has preferred, when our national honor was involved, to lead public opinion rather than merely to keep step with it. Its Principal, never wavering in his policy of keeping his school consistently true to its ideals, took from the beginning a position which it often required courage to sustain. The result was that, while some vacillated or temporized, Phillips men were getting ready; and when, on April 6, 1917, the President's ringing Declaration of War voiced the sentiment of a united people, these same men were on their way almost before the last syllable had ceased to reverberate. It is for this reason especially that they may well have a peculiar pride in the record of their alma mater, — a record which, it is safe to say, no other American school is likely to surpass. A study of school psychology during the anxious months from July, 1914, to April, 1917, exhibits, on a smaller scale, the remarkable evolution which turned a land of comfortable, peace-loving citizens into a huge training camp, the business of which was war. We are sometimes likely to forget, in these days of inter- national conferences and leagues of nations, how pro- vincial, how self-centered, we were only five short years ago. European diplomacy and intrigue were then, for the average man, if not a sealed book, at least a volume always half-closed and in an untranslatable tongue. When the Great War broke out in Europe in midsummer, 1914, even far-sighted Americans failed at first to penetrate to the real causes and the possible consequences of German aggression. It is significant that, during the previous four years at Phillips Acad- emy, Prussian Exchange professors had been regular 13 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR members of the teaching staff; and even in 1914-15 another native German occupied a position on the Faculty without exciting any unfavorable comment. In its tolerance and totally unsuspicious attitude, Andover was not different from thousands of other communities. In accordance with the terms of President Wilson's proclamation of August 18, 1914, surface neutrality, at least in the classroom and in public gatherings, was for some months sedulously observed. The clank of iron heels in hapless Belgium, however, together with the rapidly accumulating proof of Prussian atrocities, excited strong anti-German sentiment throughout New England. But no formal action of any kind was taken, and the abhorrence of German methods of war- fare and of the wanton disregard of neutral and civil- ian rights was expressed only in homes, — although there vigorously and frankly enough. Public sentiment, however, was gradually, often al- most unconsciously, undergoing a transformation. Andover was particularly fortunate in having General Leonard Wood as one of the earliest interpreters of America's duty and responsibility. On November 12, 1914, the Honorable Henry L. Stimson, ex-Secretary of War and a Trustee of Phillips Academy, brought General Wood with him to Andover, and that stal- wart and stout-hearted soldier spoke in the Stone Chapel. The burden of his address was the necessity of immediate and thorough preparation for war. His warning words fell too often on deaf ears ; but to those who look back and recall his solemn injunctions, he seems like a prophet crying in the wilderness. As a practical step for schools to take, he advised the estab- lishment of summer military camps, and Mr. Stimson 14 Corporal Antoixe H. Engel, '14 KiUed, July 3, 1918 Private Charles B. Beck, '15 Died, Sept. 17, 1917 First Lieut. Leonard B. Parks, '0.5 Died, Oct. 39, 1917 Ensign Irving T. Moore, '17 Died, Dec. 19, 1917 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME followed with an appeal for training in rifle shooting as part of the curriculum. It must be remembered that Phillips Academy had not, since the Civil War, main- tained any properly organized military company. On the playing-fields and in the gymnasium, it is true, the boys had learned courage, persistence, obedience, — the so-called martial virtues, — and they had been taught in other ways " To count the life of battle good. And dear the land that gave them birth." But what was now suggested was a systematic cam- paign towards "preparedness," — the strange new word which was soon to be on everybody's lips. What General Wood and Mr. Stimson proposed was that Phillips Academy should be ready, and on thoughtful minds their words made a profound impression. The gradually crystallizing sentiment of intelligent and patriotic Americans had a practical manifestation in the movement for sending an Andover Ambulance to the Allied front. During the fall of 1914, through Dr. Stearns's initiative, the sum of $750 was sub- scribed, in three equal parts, by the Trustees, the Fac- ulty, and the student body, to provide a completely equipped Ford Ambulance, for foreign service. So far as can be ascertained, Phillips Academy was the first American preparatory school to join in this move- ment for relieving wounded soldiers. What was actu- ally accomplished is told briefly by Mr. Frank H. Mason, of the American Hospital at Paris, in a letter to Dr. Stearns: — "It will doubtless interest you to know that the Motor Ambu- lance which you generously contributed to the transportation ser- vice of the American Ambulance Hospital of Paris, bears your name and is numbered 127 of our series. It forms part of the sec- 15 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR tion of ten ambulances which was assigned in December last to duty with the Allied Army at St. Maurice, on the eastern portion of the firing line, where they have transported thousands of wounded and rendered services so efficient and valuable as to earn the highest commendation and grateful appreciation of the mili- tary authorities." The first driver was Mr. Eustace L. Adams of St. Lawrence University, who described most entertain- ingly some of the rough experiences through which he passed. In the autumn of 1915 the ambulance was turned over to another driver, Mr. Lawrence W. Hitt, who, in making a report of his work, wrote in part as follows : — "Car No. 127 was turned over to me in excellent condition, although the engine had not been overhauled since the April before. When one considers the kind of work which the cars did in Alsace, up hill and down, that was an enviable record. More powerful cars could do the trip, to be sure, but they could not stand up under the constant strain. ... In some spots the roads are so steep that pushers must be stationed there to lend a helping hand. Fortunately, Car No. 127 never needed their aid, even with a full load, although many times I had grave doubts whether she would make the crest or not. . . . By this time our cars were greatly in need of repairs, both the engines and bodies ; so we were ordered to Tantonville, and the cars were sent to Nancy in groups of five, to have the work done. No. 127, being one of the oldest cars in the section, was in the first group. When the repair- ing is complete, I hope to get the old car back and take it through the great attack which is coming again this spring." The car, after some renovation, proved to be still fit for regular duty, and Mr. A. Piatt Andrew, in a letter of December 22, 1916, gave facts to show that its use- fulness was far from being destroyed: — "You will be interested, I am sure, to know that your cars form part of a detachment just sent to the Vosges under rather interesting conditions. We have had one or another section work- ing over the mountainous roads in this region for the past twenty 16 Li, [^ X IF^^E^ ;,^ ,■ ^B^l^^ r.. \ ] Cadet Alden Davison, '15 Killed, Dec. 26, 1917 Second Lieut. Dumaresu Spencer, '13 Killed, Jan. 22, 1918 First Lieut. Jack M. Wright, '17 Killed, Jan. 24, 1918 Ensign Albert D. Sturtevant, '13 Killed in action, Feb. 15, 1918 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME months. It was our section 3 which first developed the mountain work, and which demonstrated the possibility of carrying wounded up and down the mountains in regions where up to that time wounded had been carried only on mule-back or in horse- drawn carts. Recently our last Vosges section was withdrawn and sent to the Verdun sector, but within a week after its departure General Villaret, in command of the Vosges Army, sent word that no other cars could do the work which had been so long entrusted to our cars, and asked if we could not at once send out at least a detachment of our little cars to help in this service. We were able, through the reserve of cars which we have now established, to give such a detachment within two days, and you will be inter- ested to know that your car No. 127 formed one of the detach- ment, and is therefore now rendering a service which none of the automobiles of the French Army Ambulance Service could have rendered." The ambulance was driven throughout the winter of 1916-17, which was the coldest in the memory of the most ancient Alsatian peasant, — so cold that on two successive mornings drivers in the section found the "essence" frozen solid in the carburetor. Not until some months later was the car finally abandoned. The registration plate bearing the number 127 was sent to Phillips Academy, where it has been placed in the Library as a priceless relic of the war. Mr. Stimson's suggestion regarding the formation of a volunteer rifle club was considered on February 8, 1915, at a meeting of the Trustees, who passed the following vote : — "That the Principal be authorized to carry out plans for vol- untary instruction in rifle shooting in the school in accordance with the scheme outlined and presented by Captain Dorey of the United States Army." On March 1, Lieutenant Stockton of the Coast Artil- lery Corps gave an introductory talk to the boys on the system which it was proposed to follow. Nearly 17 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR one hundred enrolled at this first meeting. From the War Department a considerable number of discarded Krag rifles were secured, and sighting was taught on stationary guns set up temporarily in Graves Hall. The Rifle Club was registered as a branch of the National Rifle Association of America, and work in connection with it was counted as part of prescribed athletics. Interest in the Rifle Club increased month by month. During the fall and winter of 1915-16 nearly two hundred students joined and took the course of instruction. The Trustees gladly built an excellent indoor sub-calibre range, seventy-five feet long with six alleys, in the basement of Pearson Hall. There tournaments were frequently held ; each member shot under supervision, and his score, in accordance with the National Rifle Association regulations, was care- fully checked by inspectors. With the establishment of military training as part of the school program, the rifle range became indispensable and was constantly in use. During the year 1916-17 the Phillips Academy team finished second in the contest of the Massachu- setts Association and defeated a team from Exeter by a score of 1157 to 1013. In the spring term all who had qualified on the indoor range were allowed to shoot on the outdoor government ranges at Frye Village, the distance being two hundred yards. In the qualification trials on the range at Wakefield four members of the club won the bronze badges of expert marksmen, and the record of the others was highly commendable. Meanwhile a sense of the critical nature of the Euro- pean conflict, together with some apprehension as to our possible share in it, was steadily developing. The sinking of the "Lusitania" on May 7, 1915, with the 18 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME consequent tragic deaths of one hundred and fourteen American men, women, and children, withdrew from any sympathy with the German cause almost all those who had been wavering in their allegiance. At the Plattsburg camps in the summer of 1916 many Andover men were enrolled, including Dr. Page, Mr. Stackpole, and Mr. Poynter of the teaching staff; while Mr. Wilkins, another instructor, went on the Naval Training Cruise. Everywhere men were think- ing and discussing, getting ready to take sides in what was quite evidently a contest to the death between Ormuzd and Ahriman, the Prince of Darkness. Al- ready, on July 3, 1915, one Phillips boy, Antoine Henri Engel, had given his life at the front for his native country, France. A small group of younger graduates, among them John F. Brown, Jr., '14, and William H. Woolverton, '10, had gone abroad in the American Ambulance Service, and were doing a noble work among the wounded. It was these boys in the Ambulance Service who first carried the war intimately to the Hill. They wrote back accounts of their experiences which brought home the reality of the horrors taking place on the fields of France. One of them, Julius H. Preston, '14, who had sailed for France in February, 1916, talked quite casually about his adventures : — "I was called out about ten o'clock the other evening to go up to one of the dangerous posts for four seriously wounded men. We drove for nearly eight miles in sight of the German trenches. The road is used only at night, and then we have to go without lights, and on stormy nights some one has to walk ahead of the car so that we won't run into a shell hole. I got these four men, but one of them died in the car, before I could get him to the hospital^ and one of them bled nearly all the way and filled the 19 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR car full of blood, which, considering it was about three in the morning before I got back, gave one a sort of eerie feeling." Another ambulance driver, J. Radford Abbot, '09, sent a graphic story, printed in the Philhps Bulletin, January, 1917, in which he described nerve-racking rides over roads torn by bursting shells. His yoste was located in a town of which nothing remained but crumbling walls: — "The only thing standing above six or seven feet high was one- half of the church tower, which made the place look still more ghastly. It looked the way I imagine Pompeii did just after its destruction. Directly behind the town the sinister lines of a hill were silhouetted against the sky under the flashes of the rockets. I felt at the time as if the gates of Dante's Inferno could be found in the side of that hill. That was Hill 304." The tales which these men, and others like Alden Davison, '15, Kimberly Stuart, '15, and Paul Tison, '14, had to tell helped to dissipate the feeling that the war was remote and unconnected with our own every- day lives. During the fall term of 1916 the students in the Academy raised over $3000 by subscription for the benefit of soldiers held in German prison camps. By this date public opinion, especially in New England, was beginning to express itself in no uncertain phrases. By January, 1917, the air was charged as if with electricity, and the German note of January 31, announcing the immediate resumption of submarine warfare, really left for America no choice but war. The blood of the nation was pulsating fast and strong, and the people were looking forward, anx- iously but resolutely, to a twentieth-century Crusade. The setting for the world drama was almost complete. 20 Second Lieut. Gus E. Warden, '07 Died, Jan. 27, 1918 First Lieut. Perry D. Guibben, '00 Died, Feb. 13, 1918 First Lieut. Leland J. Hagadorn, '13 Killed, Feb. 23, 1918 First Lieut. Harold F. Eadie, '15 Killed in action. Mar. 2, 1918 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME The Trustees of Phillips Academy, in their meeting of February 12, voted: — "That the question of providing some form of military train- ing in the school at the present time be left to the Principal with power." The boys themselves, encouraged and stimulated by Dr. Stearns's repeated denunciation of German frightfulness, felt the excitement, and, when diplo- matic relations with Germany were broken off, they consulted with him about plans for doing their share towards preparation for the inevitable conflict. The Advisory Board, representing the student leaders, presented a petition, asking that, for the remainder of the year, military training be allowed as a substitute for the usual prescribed athletics. The Principal and his Faculty, after some discussion, approved the gen- eral tenor of the proposal and passed the following resolution : — "That students who desire to manifest their sense of patriotic duty at this critical time by entering upon preliminary military training for the remainder of the school year shall be permitted to do so in the place of required athletics." On Thursday, March 1, a large and demonstrative mass meeting was held in the Stone Chapel. Dr. Stearns was unavoidably absent, but stirring ad- dresses were made by Dr. Page, Mr. Poynter, Mr. Stackpole, Professor Forbes, and Dr. Fuess. A gath- ering more in earnest has never met on Andover Hill, and the enthusiasm which prevailed was spontaneous, not, as is sometimes the case, carefully fostered for the occasion. The boys soon showed that their spirit was not to effervesce in shouts and applause, for more than four hundred enlisted during the next few days for military training and signed this pledge : — 21 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR "I hereby agree on my honor to serve voluntarily as a cadet o£ the Andover Military Training Corps, and to receive and obey all commands and orders for the benefit of the organization, to the best of my ability." Under the supervision of Dr. Pierson S. Page, as- sisted by a number of former Plattsburg and Plum Island men among the students and teachers, the boys were enrolled in companies and met for drill three hours every week in the Gymnasium, the ground being then heavy with snow. The organization was chris- tened the "Phillips Academy Cadet Corps," and a beautiful stand of colors was presented to it by Clyde Martin, '10. The men moved rapidly through the Schools of the Soldiers, the Squad, and the Company, and made some progress with the Manual of Arms, — all this in the few weeks before the close of the winter term. When, during the spring vacation, the President pronounced his formal Declaration of War, Phillips Academy had the satisfaction of knowing that she could boast of a military unit not unworthy to repre- sent a great school. On April 6 the President issued a proclamation de- claring that "a state of war exists between the United States and the Imperial German Government." Three days later the Executive Committee of the Trustees voted : — "That the use of the grounds and buildings for such public services as may arise be left to the President of the Board, the Principal, and the Treasurer, with power." On April 17, at a full gathering of the Board in Andover, the following resolution was adopted unani- mously : — "That the Trustees of Phillips Academy of Andover, Massa- chusetts, having in charge one of the oldest and largest of Ameri- 22 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME can endowed schools, with an attendance of over 550 boys, strongly urge the prompt adoption by Congress of some measure providing for universal military training." Copies of this resolution were sent to the President of the United States, the Secretary of War, the two Massachusetts Senators, and Congressman John Jacob Rogers of the Essex district. Meanwhile the Principal, at the opening of the spring term, with the full concurrence of the student body, definitely aban- doned the schedule of athletic contests, and deter- mined that, until further developments made our course clear, one school at least should devote itself mainly to meeting the emergency. This decision was not altogether approved by some members of the teaching staff, and the usual charges of "jingoism" and "hysteria" were sometimes made; but future events were such that conversions followed rather rapidly and by June no protests could be heard. Dr. Stearns himself was fortunately no believer in the in- sidious doctrine of "school as usual," which, at that particular moment, was not without its advocates ; he recognized that schools as well as other institutions in a community must get down to a war basis. The boys were warned to keep up in their studies and told that it was their patriotic duty to continue with their educa- tion; but the school routine was also readjusted to meet existing conditions, and no boy was allowed to forget the responsibility which every citizen, and every prospective citizen, owes his country in time of danger. During the spring some changes, tending towards increased efficiency, were made in the Phillips Bat- talion. Two experienced army officers. Lieutenant Harry Frothingham and Captain John Knowles, both of Boston, generously gave their services as in- 23 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR structors. The cadets, at their own expense, secured the regulation uniforms of cotton khaki. Not enough rifles of standard pattern being available, a large number of wooden, or "Quaker," guns were made. Before many weeks had passed the battalion was executing with precision some rather complicated maneuvers on the parade ground. On Wednesday and Saturday afternoons simple military field prob- lems were discussed and solved, and sham battles were carried out over the surrounding country. After a sufficient degree of proficiency had been attained, the faculty officers withdrew and left the conduct of the four companies entirely in student hands. On Memo- rial Day, at the invitation of the Andover Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, the battalion paraded through the streets as an escort to the Civil War vet- erans, and made a most agreeable impression. The Commencement exercises in June had an undercurrent of seriousness which was decidedly ominous. Men and boys alike were peering into the veiled future, sometimes half-fearfully, but all with a grim consciousness of the fact that one more short year might bring with it momentous changes. An- dover Hill had caught the war spirit. The boys, straight and khaki-clad, the fiags flung out from win- dows along the Main Street, the flare of bugles and the roll of drums, were outward and obvious signs of transformation. A beautiful flagstaff, a gift, in part, of the student body, was dedicated on the old training- field in front of the Treasurer's house, where, more than a century and a quarter before, General George Washington had reviewed the Andover militia. The speeches at Commencement rang with the call to arms. Dr. Lyman Abbott, in his Baccalaureate Ser- 24 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME mon, took as his text, — "I come not to send peace, but a sword." At the annual dinner, Judge WilHam H. Wadhams dwelt on the meaning of our fight for democracy; Dr. Alfred E. Stearns laid emphasis on the Academy's splendid war record; and Mr. Fred- erick C. Walcott spoke eloquently in resentment of German outrages which he personally had seen in Belgium and Poland. It was indeed a moment of solemn suspense, for our soldiers were not yet at the front, and no one could say with certainty how we, as a nation, would play our part. Already, however, familiar faces had gone from the classrooms. As early as February, 1917, Dr. Stearns had taken a few of the more mature boys into his con- fidence, and asked if any of them would care to join an Andover Ambulance Unit, which should carry the name of the Academy to the fields of France. When the news of the project became more widely known, applications for membership came so rapidly that the Principal had to make a careful selection of the most promising men. The consent of parents had to be ob- tained, and many complicated details had to be ar- ranged. Dr. Stearns himself wrote letters to a number of generous Phillips alumni asking for their financial support to the enterprise ; for some of the boys chosen for the unit had been working their way through school and could not meet their own expenses. Eventu- ally something over $3500 was secured. The following is a list of the contributors : — Russell A. Alger, '93 William H. Crocker, '79 Frederick W, Allen, '96 G. Watson French, '77 Francis R.

Dupont provided a com- pletely equipped ambulance, at a cost of $1600, and another was presented to the unit by the New York Alumni Association. The unit, as finally constituted, was made up of twenty-two, of whom two, Mr. Frederick J. Daly and Mr. Alexander B. Bruce, were members of the Fac- ulty. Not one of the others had reached voting age. The full story of this Andover Ambulance Unit is told elsewhere in this volume by Lieutenant Daly, who was given full charge. Had it been possible to secure pas- sage, the unit might well have been overseas before our actual Declaration of War. As it was it sailed on April 28, 1917, exactly one hundred and thirty-nine years, to a day, from the time when the Trustees of Phillips Academy held their first regular meeting, on April 28, 1778. That original group of Trustees would not have been ashamed of the record which the boys of the school that they were engaged in establishing were to make long after they were resting in their graves. Four members of the unit, "Alec" Bruce, "Jack" Wright, Schuyler Lee, and "Bill" Taylor, gave their lives in the aviation service ; another. Captain Harold Buckley, returned as one of Andover's two "aces" and wearing on his breast the Distinguished Service Cross ; 26 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME and several others won especial honors and decora- tions. As a whole, the Ambulance Unit wrote one of the most glorious pages in the Phillips Academy annals. Andover may well be gratified that the fore- sight and patriotism of her Principal made her the first of the great American schools to send a unit of this kind across the Atlantic, and that the men who represented her proved worthy of her ancient traditions. In general, in spite of some sincere and some equally covert criticism, the Academy has had no reason to regret the policy which it pursued during the spring of 1917. The abandonment of outside athletic con- tests aroused some complaint; but the motive which prompted this action was entirely unselfish, actuated simply by a feeling that, in time of war, sport, impor- tant though it is as a factor in normal school life, should yield to more serious business. The Principal had confidence that intelligent people would recog- nize that, under such circumstances, it is more helpful to carry a rifle than a baseball bat and nobler to read army manuals than the sporting page. During the summer of 1917 Andover graduates entered service by the hundreds. Several of the teach- ers, including Lieutenant Daly, Lieutenant Bruce, Lieutenant Markham W. Stackpole (who went over- seas in the autumn as Chaplain of the 102d Field Artillery), and Lieutenant Harold S. Wilkins (who had been commissioned in the Ordnance Corps) , were already in uniform, and others were to follow during the year. The school, at its opening in September, had not lost perceptibly in numbers, for, with the lower limit of the draft age fixed at twenty-one, most parents felt that their sons, for some months at any 27 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR rate, would be better off in the classroom. The Trustees, on June 14, had passed the following vote : — "That military training be included in the school curriculum for the members of the two upper classes, and for all other boys of sixteen years and over whose parents do not disapprove." They had also secured the services of Major Robert N. Davy of the Canadian Army, as officer in charge of the military work of the school. When drills started on October 29, it was found that 510 of the 570 boys were enrolled. The schedule provided for three hours of compulsory military instruction a week. Now that the government program had been out- lined, a few contests with other institutions in athletics were arranged, although very little time could be given to coaching and practice. The progress of military training through the year was most steady and satisfactory. There was little friction and almost no halting of the wheels in other departments; the readjustment to war conditions was made with surprisingly few disturbances of school customs and traditions. Major Davy proved to be particularly skilful in lending variety and attractive- ness to tasks which can easily degenerate into drudg- ery. When sufficient development had been attained in the fundamentals, he formed special training schools in bayonet fighting, bombing, signaling, trench warfare, and ambulance work. An officers' class for advanced study was instituted, and met two evenings of the week. Unusually interesting was the battalion band of twenty-two pieces, which, after diligent prac- tice, was able, before the year closed, to carry out a program of some difficulty with commendable success. The military organization had, of course, become conspicuous among school activities. The cadet uni- 28 Corporal Schuyler Lee, '18 Killed in action, Apr. 12, 1918 Cadet Lloyd S. Allen, '08 Killed, May 1, 1918 Second Lieut. Stuart Freeman, '13 Killed, May 10, 1918 Cadet William B. Hagan, '17 Died, May 11, 1918 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME form of khaki, with the campaign hat and spiral put- tees, was seen everywhere, and even the Glee and Mandolin Clubs were, so to speak, militarized. The pictures in the Pot-Pourri, or Class Book, showed the students always in army garb, no matter what group they represented. A public exhibition given by the battalion in the Gymnasium on February 22, the morning after the Winter Promenade, attracted a large crowd, and was actually astounding as a demon- stration of what can be accomplished in drill, within a short period, by boys rather above the average in intelligence. This exhibition was repeated on March 15, in the evening, before a number of officers from Camp Devens and the Southeastern Department. Meanwhile the original battalion had been rear- ranged to form a regiment of two battalions, each consisting of three companies, with cadet officers as- suming almost the entire responsibility for adminis- tration. As spring came on, a complete and elaborate system of trenches and dugouts was constructed to the east of Brothers' Field. At the close of the Class Day program in June, the regiment was mustered for the last time on the training-field, and marched in parade before Major Davy on the Main Campus. In the evening the boys gave a spectacular demonstration of actual warfare. A party of raiders went "over the top" into No Man's Land, while rockets and star- shells illuminated the scene of battle. It was a bril- liant close to a remarkably successful year. Commencement in 1918, however, was not without its sadder features. The Honor Roll of those dead in service had already nineteen names upon it. Twelve members of the Senior Class were in France; ten others were at training camps in this country ; two had 29 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR given their lives in service. Reference to these facts was made by every speaker. At the Alumni Dinner an eloquent address was made by Colonel (now Brigadier-General) Marlborough Churchill, who said in conclusion : — "There is one message that I can bring you from those over there. They know that they are just the advance guard of you men who are coming later ; and they know that, if they are wiped out, it doesn't make any difference, because you are coming." Still another step — a natural and logical one — ^was to be taken in meeting the exigencies of the hour. On January 15, 1918, the Trustees had passed a resolution : — "That a special joint committee from Trustees and Faculty be asked to consider the advisability of conducting a summer session of the school, with suitable military training." The result of this joint conference was the establish- ment of a summer military camp, with Major Davy as Commandant. He had exceptionally able assistants in Lieutenant R. E. Wyatt of the Canadian Expedi- tionary Forces, Dr. Carl Guthe of the Faculty, and Dr. Pierson S. Page, who served as Medical Officer. Over two hundred boys, three-fourths of them from other schools, enrolled for the course of six weeks, from July 3 to August 14. As matters developed, the camp was ideally situated for military purposes. The Main Campus was a perfect drill and assembly ground. The dormitories, Bartlet, Phillips, and Day, were commodious and comfortable barracks. Pearson Hall was a study and lecture building. The swimming- pool, the Gymnasium, the Dining Hall, and the In- firmary all contributed to the comfort and the effi- ciency of the camp. The boys who attended were trained, not for child's 30 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME play, but for actual warfare. With pup-tents spread under the old elms, the campus resembled a small Plattsburg ; and the sentinels posted at the gates gave a realistic military touch. There was a glamor also, a bit of romance, when over the playing-fields on sum- mer nights there came the melancholy notes of the bugle sounding "Retreat," or the beat of drums that heralded a return from a long hike. When the camp broke up and the Hill sank back into its customary summer slumber, there were those who rather missed the bustle and excitement. But, before another July, the Great War was a matter of history, and the press- ing need for military preparation had gone by. The school which opened in the fall of 1918 was sober and unelate in spirit. During the summer the Roll of Honor, inscribed in beautifully illuminated letters on parchment by Mr. Charles A. Parmelee of the Faculty, had been lengthened name after name until it recorded the deaths of many boys who, within the year, had been joining in games upon the diamond or the track. The plans of the War Department for registering all those over eighteen yesLYS of age were naturally of consequence to Phillips Academy, and the Trustees would have been glad to turn the school definitely into a Students^ Army Training Camp. No decision regarding secondary schools could be reached, however, and the Academy opened its one hundred and forty-first year much as usual, although without the considerable number of older boys who have usually meant so much in preserving the student morale. Two of the Trustees, Colonel Henry L. Stim- son and Colonel Frederick T. Murphy, were in service at the front; several instructors, including Major Claude M. Fuess, Sergeant Sharon O. Brown, Mr. 31 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Samuel N. Baker, Mr. Frank L. Quinby (who went overseas as athletic director in the French Army) , and Mr. Archibald Freeman (who was commissioned as Captain in the American Red Cross and assigned to the Balkan service) were away on leave of absence in the army or other war activities. The Trustees pur- sued a most liberal policy in making it possible for teachers to enter service without financial loss and with the certainty that their positions would be open for them on their return. The places of these men were, however, soon temporarily filled, and the school settled down to the familiar routine, with military training as a fait accompli in student life. Major Davy had returned to the Canadian service, and Lieutenant Wyatt had taken his place as Commandant of the regiment. The first energizing and exhilarating en- thusiasm had lessened somewhat, as it always does; the element of novelty was gone, and what had been at first like diversion had become hard work; but everybody set himself in grim earnestness to toil patiently and uncomplainingly for victory. The school, like the nation, was preparing, without any illusions, for a long and taxing struggle. There was, of course, a feeling of unrest among the older boys, who wanted to take their places in the battle line, and not a few left to enlist during the autumn. Three foot- ball captains withdrew, one after the other, to enter service. But no other attitude could possibly be ex- pected from young men of nerve and sinew. And then, quite unexpectedly, came the news of the armistice. First there was spread abroad the false alarm, which the school authorities were none too ready to accept; and the event justified their skepti- cism. A few days later, in the early morning of No- 32 PPHH ^^^^^^^K\ ""^-i'^^^^l ^^^^H# ^Z^Bm i- '"^ ■ ^H^K' JL ^^^^^ IIIIk^^I ^^K^ "-'.f*, ^ i^H^s Sergeant Harold P.

Mitchell, '13 Killed, May 27, 1918 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME vember 11, the bells rang out their joyful peal, till all the church-towers were rocking. The boys, clad in pajamas, rushed out into the gray dawn, and, securing torches, formed in parade-line, as in the celebrations of victories over rival schools. Down the Main Street they marched to the square, where all the community, young and old, had gathered to exult over the good tidings ; and throughout that holiday the bells chimed and people met each other with happy faces. The Great War was over, — over just as America was ready for a supreme effort, an effort such as this world has never seen. Little has been said of some of the less romantic aspects of war work, all of which, however, contrib- uted materially to the ultimate victory. Early in the spring of 1915, in answer to an appeal from Dr. Howard W. Beal, '94 (who later, as a Major in the Medical Corps, died of wounds in France), the stu- dents collected a large supply of neckties and sent them to disabled British soldiers in the American Women's War Hospital at Paignton, England. Dr. Beal, who was then Chief Surgeon at that hospital, wrote : — "The seven hundred ties is by far the best and largest con- tribution of the sort we have had, and it gave me great pleasure to think that the boys in old Phillips had shown such willing spirit to contribute to the pleasure of the British soldiers who go through our hospital." To the Second Liberty Loan the school subscribed over $79,000. To the Red Triangle Drive in 1918 it gave over $5000. In the United War Work Drive of 1918, of which Dr. Stearns was one of the New Eng- land Directors, the boys pledged nearly $13,000. Everywhere on Andover Hill were war gardens, 33 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR started sometimes by men to whom the hoe and the spade had been mechanical mysteries, but who, by dint of patience and research in seed catalogues, man- aged to produce creditable crops of vegetables. When- ever there was a call for patriotic civilian service, whether on the Legal Advisory Board or with the "Four Minute" men or on any of the various commit- tees formed for collecting funds for war relief, mem- bers of the Trustees and the Faculty responded. There was hardly a movement of this kind in the town with which such men as Mr. Ripley, Dr. Stearns, and Professor Forbes were not associated. Some striking examples of the fighting spirit among Andover men ought to have special mention. Mr. Edward H. Landon, '71, was living in France when his wife and daughters, worshiping in a Paris church, were killed on Good Friday, 1918, by a long- distance German gun. He at once returned to Amer- ica, and, although he was considerably over sixty years of age, made every effort to secure from the War De- partment some position where he could at least fire one shot at the brutal people who had slain his loved ones. He was disappointed in his hopes, but he lived to see the outrage avenged. Another courageous soul is "Eddie" Hinkle, '96, who, when over forty years old, enlisted in the French Foreign Legion and learned to fly in a single-seated plane, without the assistance of a controlling pilot. He was probably the oldest active aviator in the American service. Still another was Kenneth Rand, '10, one of the most promising of our younger poets, who, after being rejected by every American and Canadian combat branch, finally entered the Quartermaster Corps, but died of in- fluenza before he could reach an Officers' Training 34 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME Camp, — died, leaving behind him in his private's uni- form his last poem, Limited Service Only : — " I am not one of those the gods' decision Has chosen for that highest gift of all — The sacrifice, the splendor, and the vision — ■ To fight and nobly fall : " And yet I know — what though it be but dreaming ! Should the day hang on one last desperate hope, I — I — could lead one reckless column streaming Down some shell-tortured slope. " To face the shadow-hell of Death's own valley With eyes unclouded and unlowered head — Know, for an instant, one ecstatic rally And then be cleanly dead." It is men such as these, from three different genera- tions of Andover graduates, who represent American courage and determination at its best. Of the over two thousand Phillips alumni in the army, navy, or marines, a large proportion were from the classes of recent years. So young were many of them that they were barely out of the classroom in school and college. One who had seen many of them go from their desks straight into the trenches thought often of the words of Joyce Kilmer : — " They have taken their youth and mirth away from the study and playing-ground To a new school in an alien land beneath an alien sky; Out in the smoke and roar of the fight their lessons and games are found. And they who were learning how to live are learning how to die." It was these boys who were among the first to go, — partly, of course, in the quest of adventure, but largely 35 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR in a desire to meet the call of duty. No conscription law was needed to bring them into battle. They re- sponded eagerly and unhesitatingly, even enlisting as privates in the ranks if only thej^ could get over- seas. A very large percentage of them, however, earned commissions, and, as officers, showed qualities of decision and leadership that made them a credit to the school which they represented. Orators at many alumni gatherings have spoken of the gallantry of Lieutenant Samuel Hopkins Thomp- son, the young Civil War hero, who led his men to the charge at Antietam and died crying, "Form on me, boys, form on me." This war also has developed its heroes: spectacular knights of the air, like "Bill" Tay- lor and Schuyler Lee and Roswell Fuller, stern lead- ers in the less dramatic work of the Infantry, like Harold Eadie, "Bob" Lovett, "Herm" Wilson, and "Charlie" Gould. The deeds of these men, and of countless others of the same audacity and courage, will, we hope, be ever present memories to all grad- uates of Andover. With these boys went, a little more slowly perhaps, the men of an older generation, men who had acquired family ties and business responsibilities. It was a struggle for them to leave their offices and homes, but ultimately a large number made what Dante calls 'HI gran refuso" and went out to do their part in saving civilization. Untaught in war, they found themselves in a changed environment, but they did not fail to quit themselves like men. Often their experience in industry placed them at "desk jobs," without much romance or activity; but they had their share,^a large share, — in the consummation of victory. So many letters have come from Andover men in 36 First Lieut. Edward Hines, Jr., '17 Died, June 4, 1918 First Lieut. Elliot A. Chapust, '14 Killed in action, June 37, 1918 Secoxd Lieut. John P. West, '13 Killed in action, June 28, 1918 Private Staxwood L. Hill, '18 Died, June 6, 1918 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME service that it is not possible to make any adequate selection from them. They all lay emphasis on the necessity of sacrifice, the need of patience and forti- tude, and the seriousness of the conflict. Schuyler Lee, not nineteen years old, writes his father : — "Every man who came over in the Andover Unit is here to see the war through." Paul Doolin, a Freshman at Harvard, describes a little French church and its congregation: — "Here, in the simple peasant hearts of these martyrs, is the real stronghold of Christianity. They have suffered three years of horror such as we shall never know ; their shoulders are bent with heart-breaking labor, and their hair is shot with gray, but to- morrow or next week they will go back and face torture, — all because they believe." Colonel Frederick T. Murphy says, after having been only a few weeks at the front : — "The more I see of the game and the more I get into it, the more I am convinced that we as a people have taken the only justifiable course. To have dodged our responsibility would have resulted in losing our self-respect; and now that we are in it we have got to put in everything and see that the points of the dis- pute are settled, not to Germany's satisfaction, but on the basis of insuring peace in the future and preserving the rights of civilization." Corporal Edward E. Stephenson, after learning how to fly in a training camp, wrote back : — "It is the blue blood in the veins of the true American youths that has made the American Army what it is to-day, the greatest and nerviest fighting force in the world; not because they choose this for a profession, but because they know their duty is to fight until there is no fight left, for humanity, home, womanhood, and democracy." One officer. Lieutenant William B. Wheeler, who 37 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR was in Marseilles on November 11, tells of an expe- rience which reads like a passage from a romance : — "It is twelve o'clock, and the armistice has been declared for one hour. ... A few moments ago I was standing in the large square where our band was playing the French national hymn. Thousands were singing, and I was joining in with the rest, never realizing what I was singing, until directly behind me I heard another voice singing the same words. I looked around and saw another officer standing there ; and we were both singing with all our strength, 'Old Andover is champion !' Strange, wasn't it ? We shook hands, and then the crowds moved and parted us." So the familiar Andover song joined men three thou- sand miles away from their homes, men linked to- gether, not only because they had both once dwelt on the Hill, but also because they were united in their devotion to their country and its ideals. Of those Andover men who died in the nation's service, nothing that we can say can be adequate. Their records on the following pages speak with their own simple eloquence. When Harvard College, on July 21, 1865, celebrated her memorial exercises for those of her sons who had perished in the Civil War, her Roll of Honor numbered ninety-two names. Phillips Academy, after one year and seven months of warfare, mourns seventy-seven. It is futile to hope that we can find another Lowell to-day who can com- pose a Commemoration Ode worthy of these heroes. We can, and do, pay them honor in our hearts. We shall hold memorial exercises to show our glory in their achievements and our sorrow at their untimely deaths. We shall have, before many years have gone by, a memorial building on Andover Hill which will be in every respect worthy of those to whom it will be dedicated. But we owe them the further obligation, 38 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME not merely to cherish their deeds, but also to per- petuate the lofty principles for which they fought and died. Only by so doing can we remit our debt to those whom Phillips Academy counts " Her wisest scholars, those who understood The deeper teaching of her mystic tome. And offered their fresh lives to make it good." 39 THE ROLL OF HONOR "THOSE IMMORTAL DEAD WHO LIVE AGAIN IN MINDS MADE BETTER BY THEIR PRESENCE: LIVE IN PULSES STIRRED TO GENEROSITY, IN DEEDS OF DARING RECTITUDE, IN SCORN FOR MISERABLE AIMS THAT END WITH SELF." . GEORGE ELIOT. ANTOINE HENRI ENGEL, '14 " Your sons are stars who cluster to a dawn And fade in light for you, O glorious France !" Edgar Lee Masters. Antoine Henri Engel was the first Phillips boy to give his life on the side of humanity in the Great War. Born in Vanves, France, September 4, 1894, he was by education a cosmopolitan. When his father died, his cousin and guardian, Mr. J. A. Guillaume of New York City, sent him to a private school in Hitchin, England. After the death of the boy's mother, Mr. Guillaume brought him to America and entered him at Andover, where he remained one year, leaving with his course incomplete in June, 1913. When his native land was invaded, Engel, although under military age, presented himself to the French authorities and was sent overseas in October, 1914. He was placed at once in a Corporals' School with the 167th Line Regiment, and held there for training. Not until July 1, 1915, did he, with his company, enter the trenches, at Bois le Pretre, near Toul. On the fol- lowing day the German bombardment was heavy, and on Saturday, the 3d, in the afternoon, it became most intense. As he lay sleeping on a pile of sandbags, a shell burst over him, and a flying fragment, striking him in the neck, killed him instantly. "He did not suffer a second," writes one of his comrades. Engel was keenly interested in Andover and its welfare. In his last letter, dated June 9, 1915, he said : — "Je te remercie beaucoup pour le 'Phillips Bulletin' que tu 48 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR m'as fait parvenir. . . . En lisant le 'Bulletin' je ne peux pas m'empecher de remarquer la difference entre les jeunes Ameri- cains avec qui j'etais a Andover et ceux avec qui je suis ici; autant les uns etaient francs, large d'esprit et camarades envers tous, autant les autres sont le contraire. Quant au physique il n'y a pas de comparaison, les Fran9ais ne sont pas du tout de- veloppes." He himself was a boy of powerful build and unusual muscular development. He is remembered at Andover also for his courtesy, his modesty, and his manliness. His dauntless spirit is illustrated in another of his letters : — "Je finis par croire qu'on ne veut pas de moi pour aller au feu; j'ai tellement demande a partir au feu et on m'a tellement refuse pour diverses raisons que maintenant je ne demanderai plus a y aller." It was his misfortune to perish without having met the enemy face to face ; but it was his glory to die for France. 44 Second Lieut. George W. Goodwin, '12 Killed, July 15, 1918 Second Lieut. Lester C. Barton, '02 Killed in action, July 18, 1918 Second Lieut. Robert M. Lovett, '14 Killed in action, July 18, 1918 Major Howard W. Beal, '94 Died of wounds, July 20, 1918 CHARLES BLANCH ARD BECK, '15 "In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures, life may perfect be." Ben Jonson. Charles Blanchard Beck, born April 9, 1895, in Chicago, Illinois, entered Phillips Academy in 1912 and remained until his graduation three years later. At school he was interested in track athletics, and ran on his class team. He continued his education at Cor- nell, but withdrew from that college as soon as the United States declared war on Germany and joined the first training camp for officers at Fort Sheridan. He passed creditably the course in artillery, but, on account of his youth, was refused a commission. His sudden death on September 17, 1917, at his home, can be attributed directly to overwork and excessive strain while in camp. Beck in Andover was a quiet, modest boy of very attractive personality. His record in scholarship, both at school and college, was excellent, and he gave promise of having a useful and even a notable career. 45 LEONARD BACON PARKS, '05 " His horoscope had seemed so plainly drawn — School triumphs, earned apace in work and play; Friendships at will; then love's delightful dawn And mellowing day." Lord Crewe. Leonard Bacon Paeks was a young man who won, and justified, the confidence of others. His progress in life was sure and steady, and he seemed destined for a distinguished position in his community. Born April 23, 1887, in Salem, Ohio, he spent three years at Phillips Academy, graduating with honors. His ver- satility is indicated by the fact that he was a member of the Phillijnan Board and of the Mandolin Club, that he played on his class football team and spoke for the Means prize. He later took the full courses at Yale and at Harvard Law School, and, in 1912, became associated with his father as a lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio. When trouble arose on the Mexican border. Parks enlisted in the National Guard, and was ultimately commissioned a First Lieutenant in Company E, 112th Regiment, United States Military Engineers. While stationed at Montgomery, Alabama, he died of pneumonia, October 29, 1917. " Was here the one thing needful to distil From life's alembic, through this holier fate, The man's essential soul, the hero will? We ask; and wait." 46 IRVING TYLER MOORE, '17 " There is no death. — They only truly live Who pass into the life beyond, and see This earth is but a school preparative For larger ministry." John Oxenham. Irving Tyler Moore was born March 31, 1895, in Duluth, Minnesota. He entered Phillips Academy in the autumn of 1913, and spent there nearly two years, leaving in 1915 with his course incomplete. Although still a member of the lower classes when he withdrew, he had a wide circle of friends by whom he has not been forgotten. While he was a Freshman at Sheffield Scientific School, the President issued our Declaration of War upon Germany ; and Moore, like many other Yale men, enlisted at once as a First-Class Seaman in the United States Naval Reserve Force. For two months he was attached to the United States Gunboat "Kestrel," and there made rapid progress. At a time when his commission as Ensign was assured, however, he contracted pneumonia and died on De- cember 19, 1917. Moore saw no real action and took part in no en- gagement ; but his willingness to serve and his spirit of renunciation place him among the heroes. Men of his type, even when they died before firing a gun at the enemy, contributed their share towards victory. 47 ALDEN DAVISON, '15 " This is the Happy Warrior ; this is he That every Man in arms should wish to be." Wordsworth. Alden Davison was one of those rare and magnetic souls who secure without effort the affection of all who meet them. Few young men of his day were more versatile or adaptable. At Phillips Academy, where he passed four years, he was interested in football, track athletics, soccer, and hockey; he was a member of the Student Council, the Dramatic Club, the De- bating Union; he was President of Forum and of Inquiry, and President of his class; and he received from his fellows the second largest number of votes for the man "who has done the most for the school." The ability which won him these distinctions was, of course, admired; but it was more especially his fine and upright character which made him a leader. He could be trusted always to cast his influence where it would count for good, and there was no worthy cause which did not have his support. Davison was born July 6, 1895, in New York City. After graduating from Andover in 1915, he went to Yale, but withdrew in April, 1916, in order to enter the American Ambulance Service. He was assigned to duty with the 8th section near Verdun, where he had one ambulance blown to pieces under him and was cited three times for bravery under fire. At the expira- tion of his six months' period of enlistment he planned to join the LaFayette Escadrille; but he was taken 48 Cadet Johx S. Pfaffman, '12 Killed, July 21, 1918 First Lieut. Harold C.

Green, '00 Killed in action, Aug. 1, 1918 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES seriously ill with typhoid and obliged to return home. In the autumn of 1917 he had recovered sufficiently to be able to enter the aviation service, and was sent to Camp Hicks, Texas, as a cadet in the 27th Aero Squadron. There, on Wednesday, December 26, he was instantly killed. "He was flying in formation at approximately fifteen hundred feet, when he banked his machine to the left and fell into a left- hand spin, making one turn, and came out of it, but he evidently shoved his control stick too far forward, which resulted in a steep nose dive. He was then too close to the ground to right his plane before crashing." His instructor in the squadron wrote : — "I would cheerfully give half my life if he were here safely to-night. He is the nearest to one of God's children I ever knew, and is mourned most deeply here, for everyone was so fond of him. He was a man's man, and nothing can be said higher in praise than that." Brief though his career was, Alden Davison richly fulfilled the promise of his schooldays. He was one " who when brought Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought." Resolute, clear-eyed, high-minded, he made his ideals the guiding principles of his life. For him duty was something more than a word, and loyalty was naught unless it was revealed in sacrifice. "He went through life sowing love and kindness, and what he sowed he has abundantly reaped." 49 DUMARESQ SPENCER, '13 " The slain Who died for radiant causes, endured pain, Turned upon beauty an averted face. And perished in the love of an ideal That's not to be bought in any market place." Dudley Poore, '13. DuMARESQ Spencee was a member of the LaFayette Escadrille in France. On Sunday, January 20, 1918, he had his first fight with a German plane, and, in a dramatic combat above the Hun hnes, drove off an enemy aviator, returning only when attacked simul- taneously by four hostile machines. Two days later, in the afternoon, he left the ground in order to prac- tice acrobatics and test out his mitrailleuse; after doing various "stunts," he made a renversement, end- ing in a vrille, but did not come out as soon as he had expected. His machine crashed to earth, the hood striking him just below the eyebrows and killing him instantly. On January 25 he was buried in a beautiful cemetery near Belfort, at the top of a hill, with huge trees and vines surrounding the grave. Spencer was born December 4, 1895, in Chicago, Illinois. At Phillips Academy, from which he grad- uated in 1913, he was a member of the Phi Lambda Delta society. At Yale he became a leader. He was on the Dramatic Club and the Junior Promenade Com- mittee; he was manager of the basketball team and President of the Minor Sports; and he belonged to Alpha Delta Phi and Wolf's Head. In fact "Stuffy," as he was affectionate^ called, was recognized as one of the ablest men in his class. 50 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES While in college, Spencer gained some experience in aviation with the 1st Battery of the New York State Militia. He sailed for France, June 20, 1917, joined the LaFayette Escadrille, received his pilot's brevet at Tours, October 20, 1917, and was later commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. Among the many fitting tributes paid to Lieutenant Spencer, none is more appropriate than that of his comrade in the flying corps : — "Would that I could tell you what 'Stuff' has meant to me. For ten months we have lived together, closer than brothers. We have done the same things, thought the same thoughts — two, yet one — and now, although there is a cross which bears his name and 'mort pour la France,' still I know he is with me — I know he lives, his spirit and determination could never be downed and never will be — he is with us all the time — he lives." 51 JACK MORRIS WRIGHT, '17 " I cannot say your brave eyes do not see The beauty that you loved. How can I say. As spring comes, and from every full-veined tree Peep gold-eyed buds along the spring-drenched way That I go to the woods alone? For you, I cannot help but think, walk with me here, Your free hand brushes mine, your gay lips, too Sing for the glory of the mad young year. They say that you are dead. Oh, but I know That only your body from this world is drawn. You are as real to me as winds that blow Across my face. You are as clear as dawn! How can I, then, force my slow lips to say That your eyes cannot see the spring to-day." Harrison Dowd, '17. Jack Morris Wright has been happily called "A Poet of the Air," and the volume of his letters pub- lished under that title reveals his character perfectly. We find there the full expression of his exuberant, impetuous, and truly noble soul. He was only eighteen when he was killed. In the spring of his Senior year at Phillips Academy, he joined the Andover Ambulance Unit and went to France. There, as soon as he could secure a release, he enrolled in aviation, and shortly won his commission as First Lieutenant. On January 24, 1918, he met with an accident which has been de- scribed briefly but vividly by "Alec" Bruce, his com- panion at the training camp : — "Coming down from a spiral, he took a very flat glide and then backed to turn. Because of his lack of speed, the machine side- slipped and then went into a 'vrille.'

The officers and cadets of the corps attended the funeral service. As the procession marched to the burial ground, airplanes flew over the cortege, and at the grave one of them dropped flowers upon the tomb. "Jack" Wright loved France. As a boy, he had spent several years in Paris, and he still retained in later life some touches of the foreigner. He was origi- nal, picturesque, unique; yet he had a charm which was irresistible. He had a graceful way of saying the unexpected, the unconventional thing, which distin- guished him as a student with the gift of self-expres- sion. His tastes, which were instinctively clean and discriminating, led him to a ready appreciation of what is good in art and literature; and, although he had not written much, he had the impulse to try his 'prentice hand at rhymes and short stories. There was, for the teacher, no need of stimulating his imagina- tion; the difficulty was, without discouraging him, to repress and control his fondness for decorative words. He said his farewell to Andover Hill on one of the sunniest of spring mornings, when the world seemed a dwelling-place of light and life; and it is hard to realize that he will never see another May. But, though his body be gone, his ardent unselfish spirit cannot perish, and he has left an impression which we shall long remember. 53 GUS EVANS WARDEN, '07 " They who had all, gave all. Their half -writ story Lies in the empty halls they knew so well, But they, the knights of God, shall see His glory. And find the Grail ev'n in the fire of hell." Gus Evans Warden was born July 22, 1886, in En- deavor, Pennsylvania. He spent two years at Phillips Academy, from 1904 to 1906, and then entered La- Fayette College, where he graduated with the class of 1910. At LaFayette he was a member of the Chi Phi fraternity. In business he was connected with the Erie Railroad. On December 13, 1917, he enlisted in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, and was stationed first at Columbus Barracks and later at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas. There he was stricken with pneumonia and died at Fort Sam Hous- ton Hospital, January 27, 1918. His commission as Second Lieutenant in the 20th Regiment of Engineers reached him while he was lying ill. He was buried at Portville, Pennsylvania, on February 4. Warden's commanding officer wrote of him, "He was every inch a man, a brave and courageous soldier." His life was given to his country no less than if he had died, as he would have desired, face to face with the enemy. 54 ALBERT DILLON STURTEVANT, '12 " Oh, do not mourn for him, he heard his country's call, And answering, gave all he had to give; Yet though they die, they live; Not dead at all They who obeyed that call." N. M. H. Albert Dillon Sturtevant was the first aviator in either the army or the navy to be brought down in action in the service of the United States. On the morning of February 15, 1918, the large British sea- plane of which he was one of the pilots was ordered, together with another seaplane, to convoy a fleet of merchant vessels and destroyers from England to Holland. While waiting for their convoys, they were attacked by ten German machines. The other British plane escaped, but Sturtevant, as pilot, was obliged to carry on a running fight, in the course of which he brought down at least two of his opponents. Even- tually, however, he was forced over towards the Bel- gian shore, from which German land planes came out to join in the battle. With sixteen Hun machines attacking him, Sturtevant had no hope; he, with his crew of another pilot and three men, was brought down, and no trace of either plane or bodies has ever been found. Ralph D. Paine, who describes the con- test in his book, The Fighting Fleets, says : — "This was the finish of a whole year's training and prepara- tion, at home, in France, in England, — to be shot down with never a chance in his first contact with the enemy. So blind and illogical and pitiless is war, and yet the life of this Yale athlete and gallant gentleman was not thrown away. He dared and paid 55 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR the price, flashing out of life like a meteor, in all the glory of audacious youth." Born May 2, 1894, Sturtevant came to Phillips Academy from Washington, D. C, in 1910, grad- uating two years later. His record in scholarship was excellent, and he had a quick and tenacious mind. No one who knew him will soon forget his genial smile and his attractive personality. Later at Yale he was cap- tain of the crew and one of the ablest men in his class. When America entered the war, Sturtevant was at Harvard Law School; but he at once volunteered, and, after being trained in the School of Aviation at Huntington, Long Island, received his Ensign's commission and was ordered overseas, sailing in Sep- tember, 1917. After about two months in France in intensive training on seaplanes, he was detailed by Admiral Sims to the British Naval Flying Station at Felixstowe, England. "Al" Sturtevant was a young man who had grown steadily in strength and influence over others. He had most of the qualities which belong to the wise leader, and he had a reserve force which would have made him a forceful personality. Our sense of his loss belongs to those "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." President Wilson wrote personally to Ensign Sturtevant's father, saying: "It was a death in the field of honor assuredlj% and there must be great pride in your heart that such was the case, but that does not alter the fact that you have lost a beloved son and my heart goes out to you in genuine sympathy." 56 PERRY DEAN GRIBBEN, '00 " But trust that those we call the dead Are breathers of an ampler day For ever nobler ends." Perry Dean Gribben was born October 31, 1881, in St. Paul, Minnesota. After a year at Hill School, he came to Phillips Academy, and later graduated in 1903 from Sheffield Scientific School. While at Yale, he was chairman of the Class Picture Committee. After leaving college, he became Secretary and Treas- urer of the Gribben Lumber Company in his native city. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Signal Corps and was sent to Fort Omaha, Nebraska, where he was commissioned as First Lieutenant. On February 13, 1918, while on leave, he was badly in- jured in an automobile accident, and died a few hours later at his home in St. Paul. 57 LELAND JAMES HAGADORN, '13 " It was always make or break with you. No half-way dawdling game, It was win or lose when we played, old man. And you played with death the same." V. L. K. {one of his comrades) . Leland James Hagadorn was born April 3, 1894, in Buffalo, New York. After attending schools in Olean, New York, he spent one year at Phillips Academy, and later graduated from Sheffield Scientific School in the class of 1916. In business he was connected with the Baldwin Locomotive Works and with the Union Petroleum Company; but upon our entrance into the war he enlisted and was sent to the Ithaca Ground School for Aviation. There he was selected as one of the first ten honor pupils to be sent to France for fur- ther training. He passed through several flying schools in that country, was commissioned as First Lieuten- ant in the Signal Corps, Aviation Section, and was finally assigned to Cazaux, France, for practice with the combat plane. On February 23, 1918, some officers watching trial flights saw the main body of an aeroplane coming down with one wing only, the other wing and several loose pieces of canvas falling more slowly behind the engine. They reached the debris within a minute after the crash, only to find that Lieutenant Hagadorn had been killed instantly. He had taken a nose dive with the motor full on, and the strain had proved too great for the machine. 58 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES Lieutenant Hagadorn was buried with military honors, in a casket covered with mimosa flowers. A delegation of French aviators were present to do honor to one whom they had learned to respect and love. 59 HAROLD FIELD EADIE, '15 " Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead ! These laid the world away; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene. That men call age; and those who would have been. Their sons, they gave, their immortality." Rupert Brooke. Harold Field Eadie was fatally wounded while leading his men in action. The story is one of those dramatic incidents which seize the imagination. On the evening of Friday, March 1, 1918, the Germans made a raid on his sector in the trenches northwest of Toul. Lieutenant Eadie, who was then Acting Captain of Company C of the 103d Infantry, rallied a group of men with rifles and machine guns, went through the wire entanglements into No Man's Land, and there awaited the Hun retreat. As the enemy were repelled, Eadie and his detachment poured in a deadly fire, killing and wounding scores; but he himself was struck by a piece of shrapnel, which pierced his lung. One of his soldiers saw him "alongside a spitting machine gun, blazing away with his automatic pistol." He was carried to the hospital and an operation was performed immediately, but to no avail. He died early in the morning on March 2. Upon his casket was placed the French war cross, awarded to him for bravery. Born August 22, 1892, in Fall River, Massachu- setts, he received his early education in Utica, New York, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He entered Phil- lips Academy in 1911 and remained three years. He 60 Private Levi S. Tenxey, '16 Killed in action, Aug. 20, 1918 Secojjd Lieut. Robert H.

He was a member of the Phi Lambda Sigma society. In scholarship he was a faithful and earnest student, who made a most creditable record. Later Eadie went to Dartmouth College, where, as a Junior, he was one of the first to enlist. After win- ning at Plattsburg his commission as First Lieuten- ant, he was assigned to Camp Devens and then to Camp Bartlett. In September, 1917, he went over- seas with his regiment, which was a part of the famous 26th, or Yankee, Division. It was natural that Eadie should be popular in school, for he was unusually vivacious, cheerful, and even-tempered. Every one liked him and respected him. As a soldier he had the same willing spirit which he had shown in a smaller way in contests on the ball field. His chaplain writes: — "He was a man who could be counted on always to throw him- self into anything which was for the good of the regiment." His Colonel said: — "The gallantry with which he did his duty, his constant alert- ness, his energy, were all an inspiration to the officers and an example to the men." But the finest tribute came from one of his own wounded soldiers : — "He was a fine officer, and, believe me, he took care of his men. Any one of his company would have gone through Hell at his order." Harold Eadie's noble death has already become part of school tradition, and forms one of the most glorious pages of Andover's history. 61 HAROLD PHILLIPS WILSON, '11 " Not his, at peril's frown, A pulse of quicker beat; Not his to hesitate And parley hold with Fate, But proudly to fling down His gauntlet at her feet." Harold Phillips Wilson, born March 22, 1893, in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, came to Phillips Academy in 1909 and graduated two years later with a brilliant scholastic record. Among his various interests in school life were class baseball, the Mandolin Club, and the debating team. At his Commencement exercises in June, 1911, he read the Class Poem. He was, indeed, one of the most promising members of his class. After leaving Andover he entered Cornell, graduating in 1915, with special honors in chemistry. He then en- gaged in business with the New Jersey Products Com- pany of New York City. Wilson enlisted in June, 1917, as a private in the United States Ambulance Service, Section 599, and was sent to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for training. He was promoted to be a Sergeant, first class, in his unit, which was preparing for overseas service. Un- fortunately he contracted pneumonia and, on March 19, 1918, died in the hospital at Camp Crane. 62 CHARLES AMOS MARTIN, '15 " Let not our sighing or our tears Fall on them through the coming years, Who on the land, in sea, in air. With dauntless courage everywhere, Their homes and country glorified — Stood to their arms, and smiling died." Charles Amos Martin was born in Lawrence, Mas- sachusetts, December 13, 1893. After attending the Lawrence public schools, he came to Phillips Acad- emy in the autumn of 1911, but remained for only a short time. He then entered the employment of the American Woolen Company, and became the chief engineer of the factory at Utica, New York. On De- cember 13, 1917, he enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve Forces as Machinist's Mate, First Class. On March 23, 1918, he died, of pneumonia following influenza. 63 SCHUYLER LEE, '18 " They went with songs to battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were stanch to the end against odds uncounted, They feU with their faces to the foe." Schuyler Lee, like "Alec" Bruce, "Jack" Wright, and "Bill" Taylor, his fellow members in the Andover Ambulance Unit, gave his life for the cause he loved. On their voyage over, the Andover youngsters were ridiculed by some supercilious collegians, and we are told that Schuyler "floored a college fellow double his size." Like many of the unit, he first selected camion work with the French Army ; but later, when another opening came, he volunteered for aviation and was accepted on August 1, 1917, for the LaFayette Fly- ing Corps. He followed with success the regular steps in training at various schools. On October 22 he wrote that he was "a breveted pilot, with wings on my col- lar — and everything." By November he had qualified as an avion de chasse, with the rank of Corporal. On January 10 he wrote that he was flying every day over Rheims Cathedral. A few weeks later General Petain reviewed the Escadrille, and gave Lee a notebook for a souvenir. His most spectacular combat occurred on February 3, when, with four other members of his unit, he en- countered eight German planes. In the course of the fight, three Hun machines and one Frenchman were shot down; whereupon the Germans, although they still outnumbered their adversaries five to four, turned tail and fled to a position well within the range of their 64 Second Lieit.

When he returned to his base, Corporal Lee found that his machine was per- forated in twenty places by bullets from German rapid-fire guns. On April 12 he flew out over the hos- tile lines, and was last seen slowly descending, evi- dently with motor trouble. He was later reported on the German casualty lists as having been shot down near Montdidier, and there can be no reasonable doubt of his death. Schuyler Lee was born July 29, 1898, in Bloom- field, New Jersey. Entering Phillips Academy in 1915 from the Haverford School, he remained until April, 1917. He was a member of the K. O. A. society, and a deacon in the Academy Church. At Andover he was exceedingly beloved, and, although but an Upper Middler when he withdrew, was recognized by teachers and schoolmates as one of the most promising boys in the Academy. As Principal Stearns wrote to his father, "Schuyler went to his death and his God, clean, strong, and unsullied." He lived true to his favorite passage in poetry : — " Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King — Else, wherefore born?" 65 LLOYD SEWARD ALLEN, '08 " You burned clear flame, while he Who treads the endless march of dusty years Grows blind and choked with dust before he dies." Anonymous. Lloyd Seward Axlen came from a distinguished family, being the great-grandson of William H. Sew- ard. Born February 15, 1889, in Auburn, New York, he attended schools in that city and later in Washing- ton, where his father, the Honorable Frederick I. Allen, was Commissioner of Patents. In 1906 Allen entered Phillips Academy, but left before graduation in order to take up his course at Sheffield Scientific School. After receiving a diploma there in 1910, he spent two years as an instructor in the Evans School, Mesa, Arizona. He then engaged in contracting and construction work in Auburn and New York City. As a member of the famous Squadron A, he went for duty to the Mexican border, but was invalided home with a broken ankle. He took up the study of aviation and accepted a position in an airplane factory, where he made some important inventions. In the autumn of 1917 he enlisted in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, and was sent first to the Ground School at Princeton and later to Dick Field in Texas. In April, 1918, he was assigned to the Wilbur Wright Aviation Field at Dayton, Ohio. There, on May 1, while he was making a "solo" flight, his machine crashed into a school building and he was instantly killed. 66 STUART FREEMAN, '12 " Blame not the shears that slit the thin yarn thread. Though life be lost, immortal is the praise !" H. W. Bliss. Stuart Freeman, although a young man, had al- ready made a name for himself as a lawer in his native city of Portland, Oregon. Born on May 5, 1894, he came to Phillips Academy in 1910, but left before his year was completed. At Leland Stanford University, where he studied for two years, he was a member of Zeta Psi. He then took the law course at the Univer- sity of Oregon, and settled down with the firm of Wil- bur, Spencer, and Beckett in Portland. In May, 1917, he enlisted, and graduated in October from the Berke- ley Ground School of Aviation. On November 18 he arrived in France, and, after several months of train- ing, had, by March, 1918, earned the double wings of a Reserve Military Aviator. He was killed in a rail- road accident on May 10, 1918. His commission as Second Lieutenant reached his family on May 12, the day he was buried. 67 WILLIAM BECKER HAGAN, '17 " Courage came to you with your boyhood's grace Of ardent life and limb. Each day new dangers steeled you to the test, To ride, to climb, to swim. " So when you went to play another game ' You could not but be brave." Winifred M. Letts. William Becker Hag an was one of the first Ameri- can boys to join the Ambulance Field Service in France. Born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, on Feb- ruary 12, 1898, he received his early education in Bos- ton, especially at Stone School, where he was captain of the nine. At Phillips Academy, Hagan played hockey and was a member of Phi Lambda Sigma. Shortly after leaving Andover in 1916 he went abroad and drove an ambulance for six months, being sta- tioned near Rheims and Verdun. He then returned to this country, expecting to enlist in aviation, but his application was refused. Undaunted, he went to Can- ada and entered the Royal Air Force. As he wrote, "I had to put my hand on the Bible and swear in the king's name, but this did not bother me when I thought that after all it was for the one big cause." As a cadet he was making rapid progress towards a commission ; but unfortunately he was attacked by influenza, which developed into pneumonia, and he died May 11, 1918. His character is shown at its best in his letters to his family, in which he displays the loftiest kind of patriotism. 68 First Lieut. Hexry C.

After some business training with the American Trust Company of Boston and with Blake Brothers of Boston and New York, he enlisted in the Massachusetts Naval Cadet School, from which he graduated, March 24, 1917, with the rank of Ensign. He was ordered to duty with the 9th Deck Division, but was prevented by a physical defect from going into active service. Disappointed in his hopes, he joined the Royal Flying Corps at Toronto, and trained at Bayside and at Fort Worth, Texas, where he was commissioned Second Lieutenant, November 26, 1917. Going overseas in December, he was licensed a First-Class Pilot in February and promoted to be First Lieutenant on April 1.. On May 25, 1918, two days before he expected to go across the Channel for combat duty, his airplane collapsed while he was at aerial target practice, and he fell to death, at Castle Bromwick, near Birmingham, England. 69 JULIUS FRANKLIN SEELYE, '18 " Life is no life to him that dares not die." Sir Henry Newbolt. Julius Franklin Seel ye was born June 8, 1899, in Wooster, Ohio. After a year at Phillips Academy in the class of 1918, he transferred to Monson Academy, where he graduated in 1917. On June 18 of the same year he enlisted and was sent to Camp Syracuse with Company C of the 48th Infantry. On August 26 he was promoted to the grade of private, first class. In September he was ordered to Camp Hill, Newport News, Virginia, where he was made a Corporal. In January he was sent to Pig Point to guard ordnance, and the unusually strenuous work gradually brought him to the stage of exhaustion. After an illness of ten weeks, he was brought to the hospital at Camp Stuart, where, on May 26, 1918, he died of pneumonia. The funeral services were held on the afternoon of Memo- rial Day in the Amherst College Chapel, and were conducted entirely by members of his family. His letters, as well as the words of the surgeon and nurses, testify to Seelye's patience in combating ill- ness. His superior officers also have written to praise his strength of character and fortitude under suffering. 70 JOHN LENDRUM MITCHELL, JR., '13 " We see but this, that when the moment came You raised on high, then drained, the solemn cup — The grail of death; that, touched by valor's flame. The kindled spirit burned the body up." Oscar C. A. Child. John Lendrum Mitchell, Jr., was born April 20, 1893, in Washington, D. C, during his father's term as United States Senator from Wisconsin. He spent one year at Phillips Academy, but finished his pre- paratory work at Cascadilla School. From there he went to the University of Wisconsin, where he played on the football eleven and was captain of the crew. He was a member of the Chi Psi fraternity. Imme- diately after graduation in 1917, he enlisted in the Signal Corps, Aviation Section, and was sent for training to the Aviation Ground School at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. His course com- pleted, he was ordered overseas, and, on September 29, 1917, received his commission as First Lieutenant. He was later assigned to duty at Toul, France, where, on May 27, 1918, he was killed by the accidental fall of his machine. He lies buried in Cemetery 108, the Sebastopol Hospital Cemetery, four kilometers north of Toul. Lieutenant Mitchell was powerful physically and had something of the Berserker's spirit. Colonel Watrous, his commanding officer, wrote, "He was a perfect specimen of manhood and was loved by every- one with whom he came in contact." In him his country lost a gallant soldier. 71 EDWARD HINES, JR., 17 " With generous hands they paid the price Unconscious of the cost. But we must judge the sacrifice By all that they have lost. " No lavish love of future years, No passionate regret, No gift of sacrifice or tears Can ever pay the debt." Edwaed Hines, Jr., was commissioned on his twenty- first birthday, July 24, 1917, as a Second Lieutenant, at the Officers' Training School, Fort Sheridan, Illi- nois. After a few weeks with the 61st Infantry at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he went overseas on De- cember 23 with the 4th Machine Gun Battalion, acting as Aide to Captain William R. White, the officer in command. During the voyage he was taken so se- riously ill that he had to be removed at the port of debarkation on stretchers; but he protested against being placed in an English hospital and begged to be allowed to accompany his battalion to France. With the full knowledge that he had a severe heart lesion, he insisted on going to the front, and for a time served as Town Mayor and Battalion Adjutant; but, although he had partly recovered, the hardships which he was obliged to undergo were a continuous strain on his al- ready overtaxed and weakened body. In March, 1918, the need for machine gun officers was very great, and Lieutenant Hines, in spite of his illness, entered the trenches and remained for three weeks. While work- ing in a gun entrenchment, however, he fell uncon- 72 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES scious and was carried to a first-aid hospital. There he contracted rheumatism, followed by pneumonia. He died on June 4, 1918, at Base Hospital No. 18, near Chaumont. His fortitude in remaining with his com- rades until he was too exhausted to stand is one of those acts of quiet heroism which are sometimes more noble than more spectacular deeds of bravery. Lieutenant Hines was born on July 24, 1896, in Chicago, Illinois. He entered Phillips Academy in 1913, but left two years later, with his course incom- plete, in order to enter Yale. At Andover he was a member of the Phi Lambda Delta society. He had a singularly pleasing personality, entirely modest and unpretentious. By nature he was one of the most af- fectionate, kindly, and unselfish of boys. Yet, as his story shows, he had a persistence and a resolution which, had he lived, would have marked him out for success. He had already received his promotion to be First Lieutenant, and had been recommended for a Captaincy. 73 ELLIOT ADAMS CHAPIN, '14 " One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name." Sir Walter Scott. Elliot Adams Chapin is still remembered on An- dover Hill as a boy of unusual personal charm. Un- like most of those who spend only one year at Phillips Academy, he made a host of warm friends. He played for some weeks on the football squad and was elected to Phi Delta Sigma; and he was also exceptionally popular in his class and in the school at large. He was born May 10, 1895, in West Somerville, Massachusetts. After graduating from Andover in 1914, he went to Harvard, but left college before completing his course in order to enlist in the British Royal Flying Corps, as a member of which he was commissioned First Lieutenant in the spring of 1918. On June 27, while bombing Thionville, he was en- gaged in combat by a German plane at a height of thirteen thousand feet; an incendiary bullet pierced his petrol tank, and his machine fell in flames. His friend. Lieutenant Walker, of the same squadron (the 99th), who was only fifty feet away from Lieu- tenant Chapin when he fell, wrote: — "When he saw death staring him in the face, I saw him turn around to his observer, reach out his hand, and shake hands with him. He died a hero's death, unafraid, and was a son for any parent to be proud of. We all loved him, and he was as fine a type of Christian manhood as could possibly be found." 74 JOHN PROUT WEST, '13 " That pain may cease he yields his flesh to pain. To banish war he must a warrior be. He dwells in Night eternal Dawn to see. And gladly dies, abundant life to gain." Joyce Kilmer. John Prout West was born October 3, 1894, in Rut- land, Vermont. During his two years at Phillips Academy, he sang on the Glee Club and made a com- mendable record in his studies. At Sheffield Scientific School, where he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, he graduated in 1916, and spent the following sum- mer in training with the Yale Battery. In May, 1917, he attended the Plattsburg Officers' Training Camp, but in July went to Canada and enlisted in the Royal Air Forces. After a course of instruction in Canada, England, and Scotland, he received his commission as Second Lieutenant on October 12, 1917. He was not ordered to combat duty until April, 1918, but he soon had three German planes to his credit and was making a reputation as a gallant and fearless fighter. On June 28, however, he was overcome by an enemy airman and his body fell behind the German lines. 75 STANWOOD ELLIOTT HILL, 18 " 'Qui procul hinc,' the legend's writ, — The frontier grave is far away, — 'Qui ante diem periit; Sed miles, sed pro patria.' " Sir Henry Newbolt. Stanwood Elliott Hill entered Phillips Academy in 1916, but was forced by illness to leave school after onty a few weeks. Even in that short period, however, he had shown unusual athletic ability, and had won the recognition of his fellows. He was born in Boston, May 8, 1895, and came to Andover after some years in the Huntington and Berkeley Schools. In May, 1917, after his recovery from sickness, he enlisted with Company A, 14th Engineers, and, on July 29, went overseas. He and nine others were the first American soldiers in the trenches, their entrance having been made in Septem- ber, at Telegraph Hill, near Arras. Hill was with that famous detachment which, in April, 1918, stopped the German advance at a critical moment for the Allies. His regiment, after heroic fighting at Cambrai, was sent back to Calais to operate a small broad gauge railroad. There he was stricken with influenza, but was discharged from the hospital as cured. On July 3 he was again taken ill with meningitis and removed to an isolation hospital at Calais, where he died, July 6, 1918, without having regained consciousness. On July 9 he was buried with full military honors, and all the officers of the regiment followed his body to its last resting-place in the British Cemetery, overlooking the English Channel. 76 CoRPORAi, Chas. p.

At Phillips Academy he spent one year, graduating in 1912 with honors in all his subjects; and at Yale his record was equally cred- itable. He completed one year at Harvard Law School, but sailed on June 25, 1917, for France to join the American Ambulance Field Service. While sta- tioned near the Verdun front, he was decorated by the French government for bravery. When his term of enlistment was completed, he, like so many Andover men, enlisted in aviation and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant, May 18, 1918. On the morning of July 15, at Chateauroux, he was starting out for a "solo" flight, when a French ma- chine, proceeding in another direction, suddenly swerved, cutting off the tail of his plane. He fell one hundred meters to the ground, and never regained consciousness. He was buried in the beautiful Ameri- can cemetery at Chateauroux; and all the members of the command, together with several French officers and representatives from the staff of the Command- ing General, attended the funeral. Letters from his comrades indicate that Lieutenant Goodwin had shown great promise as an aviator. His 77 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR generous and sensitive nature made friends every- where, and even men who had known him but slightly wrote to his family to express their sorrow at his death. Lieutenant Norman C. Fitts, his companion at Andover and Yale, said: — "He was easily that one of us who was best liked by the French officers and instructors at the school." 78 LESTER CLEMENT BARTON, '02 " You snatched the sword, and answered as you went, For fear your eager feet should be outrun, And with the flame of your bright youth unspent Went shouting up the pathway to the sun." Mrs. Robertson Glasgow. Lester Clement Barton was commissioned as Sec- ond Lieutenant at Fort Sheridan in November, 1917, and went overseas in December as an officer in Bat- tery B, 101st Field Artillery. After some further training at Saumur, he was sent to the front. In the battle of Belleau Wood, on July 18, 1918, Lieutenant Barton displayed the utmost heroism. He had just carried back "through a hell of shell fire" the seventh wounded soldier from his platoon when a shell struck his dugout and he was instantly killed. On January 12, 1919, while his brother and sister were visiting the battlefield, they found a muddy and discolored hand- kerchief on which was woven unmistakably the name of Lester Clement Barton. Lieutenant Barton was born June 27, 1884, in Maywood, Illinois. After leaving Phillips Academy, he graduated from Yale in 1906 and then studied law, spending one year at the University of Chicago and two years at Harvard. In 1910 he opened a law office in Chicago. He was at one time an assistant state's attorney for Cook County, and he was later engaged in examining titles for the Chicago Title and Trust Company. In courage, loyalty, and disregard of self Lieuten- 79 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR ant Barton was worthy of the best traditions of the American Army. His men spoke of him always with respect and love, and looked upon him as a gallant and fearless officer. 80 George W. Mueller, '08 Died, Oct. 4, 1918 First Lieut. George M. Cavis, '14 Died, Oct. 4, 1918 Second Lieut. Robert H. Coleman, '12 Died, Oct. 8, 1918 Second Lieut. Lucian Platt, '09 Died, Oct. 9, 1918 ROBERT MORSS LOVETT, '14 "And so espoused to death, with blood he seal'd A testament of noble-ending love." Shakspere. Robert Morss Lovett was killed in action in the ever memorable attack through the Bois de Retz, on July 18, 1918. The story of his death is intensely dramatic. On the morning of Thursday, July 18, his regiment, the 103d Infantry, was ordered to go "over the top" and capture a hill manned by German machine guns. His platoon, at the signal, started out through wheat- fields, with the growing wheat fully a yard high, fac- ing the fire of snipers all the way and suffering heavy losses. As they were crawling along. Lieutenant Lovett was hit in the thigh, and said, "That is a funny place to get hit." Soon after the order came to retreat, but, as he was creeping back, he was shot through the head and instantly killed. When the litter-bearers went out later for the wounded, they discovered that the Germans had stolen the dead man's watch and money, — everything he had, including letters. He was buried in the little cemetery at Bouresche, where his grave is cared for by French civilians. Throughout the attack, according to eyewitnesses. Lieutenant Lovett was brave to the point of recklessness, and, taking the dangerous positions himself, spared his men as much as possible. Lovett was born July 21, 1896, in Boston, the son of Professor Robert Morss Lovett, later of the Uni- versity of Chicago, but now editor of The Dial. At Phillips Academy, where he spent three years, he 81 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR played on the lacrosse team. His classroom work, especially in English, was of a high order. He was a member of the class of 1918 at Harvard, but withdrew in order to attend the Plattsburg Training Camp in 1917. His commission as Second Lieutenant came in August, 1917, and in September he went overseas as an officer in Company F, 103d Infantry, 26th (Yankee) Division. 82 HOWARD WALTER BEAL, '94 " Whose passions not his masters are ; Whose soul is still prepared for death. Untied unto the world by care Of public fame or private breath." Sir Henry Wotton. Howard Walter Beal was doing his bit for the Allied cause long before America entered the Great War. The smoke was still rising from Belgian villages, when, on September 4, 1914, he abandoned his medi- cal practice in Worcester, Massachusetts, and sailed with the first American Red Cross ship for Europe. He was put in charge of the American Women's War Hospital of two hundred and fifty beds at Paignton, England, and remained there for fourteen months, doing a work which won from Englishmen the highest praise. A nervous breakdown then forced him to return to America; but, when the United States en- tered the war, he, as an officer in the Medical Reserve Corps, was called at once into service, with the com- mission of Major. Sailing August 9, 1917, he was made Surgeon in charge of the Paris district, but later, having requested a station at the front, he was made Consulting Surgeon of the 1st Division. On July 18, 1918, near the village of Mortefontaine, south of Soissons, he was wounded, and died two days later at Base Hospital No. 1, Neuilly, Paris. Major Beal was born November 26, 1869, in Ban- gor, Maine. He graduated from Phillips Academy in 1894 and from Harvard Medical School in 1898. In the Spanish War he held a commission as Second Lieutenant. He was a man of steadfast and earnest qualities, with the spirit of self-sacrifice in his heart. 83 JOHN SHAW PFAFFMAN, '12 "Lord, guard and guide the men who fly Through the great spaces of the sky. Be with them traversing the air In dark'ning storm or sunshine fair." Mary C. D. Hamilton. John Shaw Pfaffman was born April 27, 1894, in Quincy, Massachusetts. After an early education at the schools in his native town, he came to Phillips Academy in 1911 and remained one year, winning some distinction on his class athletic teams. At Har- vard he was prominent because of his dramatic ability. He later entered the American Ambulance Service and completed the six months' term of enlistment. He then applied for aviation, was accepted in October, 1917, and went through a course of instruction. On July 21, 1918, he went up for his last flight at six thousand feet, at the satisfactory completion of which he would have received his brevet as pilot. While he was returning to his hangar, he was caught in an air- pocket and, at the same moment, assailed by a power- ful gust of wind, which tore off the wing of his plane. In spite of his efforts to right himself, he fell and was dashed to death. His funeral was attended by throngs of comrades and by French officers and civilian sym- pathizers. Lieutenant Mayeur of the Headquarters Staff pronounced a eulogy, and the dead cadet was laid to rest in the cemetery at Voves. 84 HAROLD CLINTON WASGATT, '16 " You wore courage as you wore your youth With carelessness and joy." W. M. Letts. Haeold Clinton Wasgatt was born July 13, 1896, in Boston, Massachusetts. At Everett High School he played on the championship football eleven, and later, at Phillips Academy, he made the school team. His combination of a powerful physique with a mind quick of apprehension made him a formidable oppo- nent. At the close of his one year at Andover, he was ready for college, and entered Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology in the following autumn. In the spring of 1917 he attended the Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg and received there his commission as Second Lieutenant in the Reserve Corps. A few days later, however, while he was at Camp Devens, he learned that an examination which he had taken for a Lieutenancy in the Regular Army had been success- ful, and he was ordered, first to Fort Leavenworth, and later to Gettysburg, where he was attached to the 59th Infantry. When his regiment was sent to Char- lotte, North Carolina, Lieutenant Wasgatt was as- signed to Fort Sill, for instruction in machine gun fire, and, after completing the course of eight weeks, was returned to his regiment with the rank of First Lieu- tenant and made commanding officer of its Machine Gun Company. He went overseas in May, 1918. Very little is known of the circumstances of his death. On the morning of July 18 he went "over the 85 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR top" with the 59th Infantry, and, while charging with his company, was struck in the forehead by a machine gun bullet. The wound proved to be mortal, and he died some days later. The testimony of those who saw him in that last attack shows that he was cool and determined to the end, and went steadily forward in the teeth of the most terrifying fire. He lies buried in the small military cemetery just outside of Priez, about ten miles north of Chateau-Thierry. 86 JOHN LEWIS ROSS, '15 " For thee their pilgrim swords were tried. Thy flaming word was in their scrips, They battled, they endured, they died To make a new Apocalypse. Master and Maker, God of Right, The soldier dead are at thy gate, Who kept the spears of honor bright And freedom's house inviolate." John Drinkwater. John Lewis Ross left behind him a record of heroic exploits unsurpassed in the annals of the war. In April, 1917, he enlisted in the famous 7th Regiment of the New York National Guard, but, in order to get to France sooner, volunteered for the 69th Regiment, and became a private in Company K, 165th Infantry, in the glorious 42d, or Rainbow, Division. While at Camp Mills, he was made a Corporal; and he sailed for France on October 31, 1917. In the trenches, March 18, 1918, he won his Sergeancy. During the big gas attack of March 21, in which his company suffered severely. Sergeant Ross and a comrade carried a wounded soldier through unknown woods under heavy shell fire to a dressing-station. He then returned to the trenches and stood guard alone throughout that night, for his entire platoon were so badly gassed that they were helpless. On the following morning they were led out, blind and burned, but safe; and Sergeant Ross was obliged to spend two months in a hospital before he recovered from the burns which he had re- ceived. On June 1 he rejoined his company, only to meet death in action, July 29, 1918, in the terrible battle of the Ourcq River. 87 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Sergeant Ross was only twenty years old at the time of his death. Born April 25, 1898, he spent three years at Phillips Academy, but left in 1914 in order to go to Englewood High School. Although he passed his preliminary examinations for Princeton, he de- cided to enter business. At the time when war broke out, he was active in the "Billy" Sunday campaign in New York City. The calm bravery which young Americans of Ser- geant Ross's type showed in meeting critical situations is one of the miracles of the war. By nature quiet and peaceful, he rose in emergencies to heroic stature, and fought with a desperation and a resolute fury which can never be forgotten. His chaplain in the 165th Infantry wrote as fol- lows : — "Even in this life, where we have to get hardened to death, his loss is still distinctly felt. Practically every man in the regi- ment is known to me personally, but John stood out. I tried to get him the Croix de Guerre for gallantry in action during the big gas attack. . . . He had the kind of death he would have asked for if it had to come." 88 DOUGLAS BANNAN GREEN, '00 " Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart. That God has given you a priceless dower. To live in these great times and have your part In Freedom's crowning hour." Douglas Bannan Green was a First Lieutenant in Company H, 168th Infantry, belonging to the 42d, or Rainbow, Division. He arrived overseas on December 12, 1917, and took an active part in the strenuous campaigns east of Rheims and the Ourcq River. On July 29, 1918, the Battalion Adjutant having been killed in action, Lieutenant Green was assigned as Battalion Adjutant, but was returned to his com- pany two days later; on August 1 he led his platoon in an attack on Hill 212 north of the town of Sergy, — the town that changed hands nine times in twenty- four hours. The attack accomplished its objective, but early in the charge Lieutenant Green received a wound in the abdomen from a machine gun bullet. He was rescued by two of his men under heavy fire, and carried back by stretcher-bearers, but died the same day. Lieutenant Green was born June 26, 1881. After graduating from Phillips Academy, he went to Yale, where for two years he was captain of the college base- ball team. He was a member of Psi Upsilon. In 1906 he graduated from the New York Law School and at once began practice with the firm of Hitchings and Palliser in New York City. He went to the Plattsburg Ofiicers' Training Camp in 1917, and there won his commission as First Lieutenant. 89 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR On January 19, 1919, a memorial service was held for Lieutenant Green in his native city of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and many of his classmates came long distances to testify to their affection for him and their regret at his death. One of his last letters, written to his sister, Mrs. E. D. Smith of Pottsville, illustrates his determined and devoted spirit: — "There isn't anything that I would rather do than go over and fight the Germans. So, whatever you may think about it, just remember that I'm doing what I want to do, and something that I wouldn't give up my chance of doing for all the rest of my natural life. When it's all over, you'll be glad to be able to say that I went over and did my duty. Every one has to suffer some to win this war, and, if my going is hard for you, think that that is the part you are taking in the greatest thing that the civilized world has ever done. Giving up something for the cause is a real privilege, it seems to me, and you certainly would not want me to be deprived of that privilege." 90 GEORGE LESLIE HOWARD, '02 " And if you be done to the death, what then If you battled the best you could; If you played your part in the world of men; Why the Critic will call it good." George Leslie Howard was born March 4, 1884, in Malone, New York. At Phillips Academy he was a member of the class of 1902, but did not graduate. After one year at Sheffield Scientific School, he went into business with Austin, Nichols and Company of New York City. He later returned to Malone as manager of the Andrus-Robinson Company of that city. At the outbreak of the Mexican trouble in 1916, Howard enlisted in Company K, 1st Infantry, New York National Guard, and, on June 26, 1917, was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and assigned to the Regimental Supply Company. After serving for some weeks as Aide to Colonel Bates, he was trans- ferred on November 10 to Company L, 105th Infan- try, and sailed, on May 7, 1918, for France with the 27th Division. On July 1 he was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant. On August 10, 1918, he was severely wounded near Esqueltecq, France, and died on the same day. 91 EGBERT FOSTER TETLEY, '13 " He is dead who will not fight ; And who dies fighting has increase." Julian Grenfell. Egbert Foster Tetley, at the Andover Commence- ment of 1913, when Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was the guest of honor, spoke in the Potter contest and won so many other prizes that he was a conspicuous figure. On August 10, 1918, a little more than five years later, he laid down his life in France. Tetley was born December 8, 1893, in Methuen, Massachusetts. After four successful years in Phil- lips Academy, he entered Brown University, where he continued to make a brilliant record. In his Senior year, however, he left to attend the Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg, where he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. He was assigned to the 47th In- fantry, and, after some months at Camp Greene, sailed overseas in May, 1918. He was shortly pro- moted to be First Lieutenant, but was later killed in action near Fismes at the head of his men. Before leaving Brown, Lieutenant Tetley had re- ceived an appointment as Instructor in English in that college. It was a position for which he was well quali- fied, for all his tastes were literary and his heart would have been in his work. But he was not destined to live out his life in book-lined rooms among cloistered halls. The blood which might have grown sluggish in the study was poured out, warm and ruddy, for his coun- try in her hour of danger. His example is nobler than if he had lived out his tale of three score and ten. 92 FRANK RONALD SIMMONS, '03 "With calmest courage he was ever ready To teach that action was the truth of thought." Lowell. Frank Ronald Simmons has been rightly called a "Hero of the Silent Service." Born in Providence, Rhode Island, May 16, 1885, he graduated from Phil- lips Academy in 1903 and from Yale College in 1907. He studied architecture in Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but was more attracted by painting, and established himself in an atelier in Paris. There, in the first months of the war, he acted as Secretary of the Committee for the Relief of Tuberculous French Sol- diers; and his knowledge of French and French cus- toms recommended him to Major (now General) Marlborough Churchill, who had come to Paris on a military mission in March, 1917. Simmons was instru- mental in evolving the system of intelligence work on which depended the successful cooperation of Ameri- can forces with those of the French. In August, 1917, he accepted a commission as First Lieutenant, and in February, 1918, he was promoted to a Captaincy. He was transferred to the General Staff and assigned to the Intelligence Section of the Service of Supply, in a most responsible position. While on a mission to Marseilles, he was stricken with double pneumonia, and died, August 12, 1918. His long period of strain and his weakness from overwork made him an easy victim. His recommendation for a majority had been sent in shortly before his death. 93 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Captain Simmons was a man of vigorous intellect and resolute purpose. His tact in bringing about rela- tions of intimacy between French and American offi- cers won him commendation from high quarters, and his army superiors paid him sincere tribute at the time of his funeral. 94 ALEXANDER BERN BRUCE, '11 " A soldier, with a soldier's loyal faith ; who sees God still the same when the swords of the world are bared; And waits with firm assurance for His dark decrees, Resolute, serene, prepared." George Bostrevor. Alexander Bern Bruce was the only member of the Phillips Academy teaching staff to lose his life in the Great War. His colleagues there knew him as one of the quietest -and most modest of men, one who per- formed his duties willingly and efficiently, without any ostentation or craving for applause. "Alec" Bruce was by nature a scholar. Born in Seattle, May 3, 1894, he later came east with his family and was sent to Andover, where he was on the honor roll for four consecutive years and graduated in 1911 with distinction. At Harvard he was elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In the autumn of 1915 he returned to Andover as Assistant in Chemistry, living in Williams Hall. When the Andover Ambu- lance Unit was organized in the spring of 1917, Bruce went abroad with "Fred" Daly in charge of it, and later volunteered for camion work with the French Army. When his stipulated term of enlistment ex- pired, he joined the LaFayette Escadrille, went through a course of training in aviation, was event- ually commissioned a Second Lieutenant, and was assigned to the 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron. On August 17, 1918, while he was engaged in combat near Cruaux with several German planes, his machine brushed wings with that of another pilot, and he fell 95 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR nearly two miles. Although his body was not mangled, his neck was broken and he was evidently killed instantly. Bruce's manly Christian character needs no eulogy. One of his companions abroad wrote, "Everybody who knew him recognized him as one of the cleanest, most straightforward chaps in the crowd." Another of his friends said of him, "In the years he had lived, few as they were, he made a record of brilliant achievements in the classroom and on the battlefield. Surely he has not lived in vain." In the early days of our war many men talked much about what they planned to do. "Alec" Bruce said very little; but when the hour struck, he did more than talk, — he went. His career is an inspiration to all true Americans. 96 Captaist Herbert E. Rankix, '05 Died, Oct. 10, 1918 Captain Phillips G. Morrison, '13 Died, Oct. 12, 1918 Cadet Frank D. Kendall, '08 Died, Oct. 14, 1918 Private Kenneth Rand, '10 Died, Oct. 15, 1918 LEVI SANDERSON TENNEY, '16 " That other generations might possess — From shame and menace free in years to come — A richer heritage of happiness, He marched to that heroic martyrdom." Alan Seeger. Levi Sanderson Tenney was born June 15, 1897, in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. He spent only one year at Phillips Academy, graduating in the class of 1916. He is remembered as a quiet, conscientious boy, al- ways pleasant but somewhat reserved. Although he entered the class of 1920 at Yale College, he withdrew in February, 1917, to take a position with the National City Bank of New York City. At about the same time he joined Company L of the famous 7th Regiment of the New York National Guard, to which "Charlie" Gould of his own class also belonged. When this was mustered into the federal service as the 107th Infan- try, Tenney went with it to Camp Wadsworth. In May, 1918, the regiment went overseas as part of the 27th Division, which joined the British forces on the Flanders battlefront. In their very first fight, on August 20, 1918, he was killed. His father writes: — "He was anxious to see action, chafed at being kept back so long, and entered into it fearlessly, with a light heart. We have had a number of letters from his companions in the company, who speak of his constant cheerfulness. He had no office. He is spoken of in the government communications as a first-class private. . . . Of course we miss him, but we feel that he did his duty." 97 JAMES ROBERTSON CAREY, JR., '11 " They poured their spirits out in pride They throbbed away the price of years: Now that dear ground is glorified With dreams, with tears." James Robertson Carey, Jr., was born May 11, 1893, in Salem, Ohio. At Phillips Academy, where he was a member of the class of 1911, he made an excel- lent record in his studies and was popular among his mates. Graduating from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1914, he entered the Treasurer's Department of the Pennsylvania Railroad, making his home at Sewick- ley, Pennsylvania. Shortly after the American declar- ation of war he enlisted and was sent to the Officers' Training School at Fort Niagara ; from there he went to the Aviation School at Cornell and later to the testing ground at Mineola. In October, 1917, he was ordered overseas, and continued his practice work at Issoudun. After spending some months at Foggia, Italy, he returned in April, 1918, to Issoudun, re- ceived his commission as Second Lieutenant, and was placed in a combat squadron. On September 4, while he was flying from his base to the front, his machine collapsed, and he fell to his death in the park of Chatillon-sur- Seine. There he was buried with special military and civic honors, a fitting tribute to one Avho had given his life for his country. 98 PAUL WAMELINK WILSON, '04 " How sleep the brave, who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest!" Campbell. Paul Wamelink Wilson was killed September 12, 1918, at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, by the accidental dis- charge of a gun. He had attended the Officers' Train- ing School at Fort Benjamin Harrison, where he had been commissioned as First Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. He was then assigned, first to Camp Grant, and later, in February, 1918, to Fort Sheridan, as an officer in the 28th Trench Mortar Battery. There he made a brilliant record, standing highest among the officers at the post in the mathematical tests. He had also been appointed Judge Advocate for the camp general court. His loss was deeply felt by his associates and by the men in his battery. Wilson was born July 12, 1885, in Cleveland, Ohio. He came to Phillips Academy in 1903, and left a year later in order to enter Sheffield Scientific School. At the conclusion of his college work, he went into busi- ness, and was for some years with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. In 1911 he became Secretary-Treasurer of the Electric Respi- rone Company of Cleveland, Ohio, and three years later was made Secretary and Treasurer of the Haver- shaw Crushed Stone Company of New York City. He was with this company at the time of his enlistment. 99 ROBERT HOWARD GAMBLE, '11 " Full short his journey was ; no dust Of earth unto his sandals clave; The weary weight that old men must. He bore not to the grave." Robert Howard Gamble in his last letter, written on September 5, 1918, from his station in the Vosges Mountains, said, "Something big is going to happen. I am well, happy, and full of confidence." Seven days later, on September 12, in the midst of the great St. Mihiel drive, he was killed in action in the Bois St. Claude. One of his comrades who saw him drop writes : — "He died with his boots on, clutching his automatic revolver as he fell dead. He took a machine-gun nest; and just beyond him were two of the crew of the machine gun that got him across the chest." Another officer who was near by said : — "Our boys were just walking away with the Hun. Bob had charged with his platoon, not following, but leading them, — just the kind of action everyone admires in an officer. I saw it myself and heard his men speak of it afterwards. ... It was in an attack on a German machine-gun nest that he fell, fighting for his God and country, a true soldier to the last." This young Second Lieutenant who died so heroi- cally was born January 17, 1893, and lived in Haver- ford, Pennsylvania. He entered Phillips Academy in 1908 and left in 1910, with his course incomplete, in order to go to Yale. At Andover he was a member of the K. O. A. societj^; and at Yale he belonged to Alpha Delta Phi. After graduating from Yale in 100 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 1915, he was employed in the offices of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad. His interest in military matters, how- ever, was very keen, and he attended two early Platts- burg camps. In 1917 he took the training course at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and in December was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. He was assigned to Company A of the 11th Infantry, which went over- seas in April, 1918, and became a part of the 3d Corps of the 1st American Army. It was this corps which, on September 15, after the capture of the St. Mihiel sector, received the special commendation of General Pershing, for its "courageous dash and vigor." The commanding officer of the 11th Infantry wrote concerning Lieutenant Gamble : — "He was a brave, courageous, and efficient officer, and an honor to his regiment. By his death the regiment suffered a loss of one of its most promising lieutenants." 101 GORDON BARTLETT, '16 " So fine a spirit, daring, yet serene, — He may not, surely, lapse from what has been; Greater, not less, his wondering mind must be; Ampler the splendid vision he must see." John Hoghen. Gordon Bartlett was cradled in romance and died in the spirit of one making the "great adventure." He was born in the little city of Tottori, Japan, on March 12, 1898, and, up to the age of fourteen, lived largely with orientals, among "all sorts and conditions of men." His father then sent him to Phillips Academy, where he remained four years. He sang on the Glee Club and the Choir, ran on the track team, and was President of the Society of Inquiry. Graduating in 1916, he went on to Dartmouth, but the American Declaration of War in the following spring swept him out of his college life into the Red Cross Volunteer Ambulance Corps, as a member of which he sailed. May 5, 1917, for France. After several weeks of delay in Paris, his unit, the 61st Ambulance Corps, went into action before Ver- dun. Here, in August, he received the army corps citation for the Croix de Guerre, with a star, for two specified acts of extreme bravery: one of rescuing a comrade in sudden and unaccustomed danger the first night of service ; the other for protracted attention to duty during six hours of peril, when he was declared to have "rescued all the dangerously wounded in his dis- trict all by himself." When the United States took over the ambulance service, he started for home, but, 102 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES while in Paris, felt the call of duty so strongly that he enlisted in the 17th Field Artillery. His regiment saw plenty of action. He fought with the Marines at Belleau Wood in June,.aijd in the fa- mous battle of the Marne. As part of the 2d Division he saw the enemy driven back at Chateau-Thierry in July. In this fierce battle his own Battery D was cited by the French Army for its share in bringing victory to the Allied forces. Finally in September came the drive at the St. Mihiel salient. Corporal Bartlett, on September 15, went forward as a member of a volun- teer gun crew from Battery D to fire a captured Ger- man six-inch naval rifle in a position near the front line. Later he, w^ith another Corporal, went out re- connoitering for other guns, and did not return. A search party discovered him some hours afterward, and he was carried, severely wounded, to Evacuation Hospital Number 1, at Sebastopol, near Toul. There on September 17, 1918, he died. His last letter, written September 6, is full of cheerfulness and optimism. Life for him, even at the front, had no dullness or motonony. In every situation he sought the pleasant things, and he had no com- plaints to offer or criticisms to make. No hero was ever more indifferent to the world's applause. 103 WILLIAM HENRY TAYLOR, JR., '18 " They say thou art at rest. I heed them not, though thou art long. Dreaming that thou, with heart still strong For fighting, foUowest some far quest." Violet Gillespie. William Henry Tayloe, Jr.^ although he was only nineteen years and nine months old when he left this world, had already distinguished himself by his cour- age and audacity in the air. Like Harold Eadie and "Alec" Bruce, he fell fighting. On September 18, 1918, while stationed near the St. Mihiel salient, he was flying on patrol duty, with no enemy apparently in sight. Suddenly through a hole in a cloud he saw an air battle going on below, and dived. Just as he emerged, he was attacked by three Fokkers. There was a short combat, but he was hopelessly outnum- bered, and fell with his plane to the ground just north of Etang de Lachaussee, a small lake near St. Mihiel. He was born December 6, 1898, in New York City. After some years at Phillips Academy, he joined the Andover Ambulance Unit, and sailed on April 27, 1917, for France. He was appointed an Adjutant in the French Camion Service, but secured his discharge in order to enter the Aviation Corps as a cadet. After barely three months of training, he was commissioned on November 29 as First Lieutenant, having ad- vanced with a rapidity almost unprecedented. In Feb- ruary, 1918, he left for the front with the first chasse sent by the American Army. Taylor was especially cited for his acrobatic work; 104 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES and, although the youngest member of the 95th Aero Squadron, he was made one of the three Fhght Com- manders, responsible for five pilots, five machines, and twenty mechanics. On May 21 he attacked and de- stroyed a German photograph plane, operating over our lines, and on May 28, with another pilot, he brought down an enemy biplane out of a formation of five. In June he was injured in an accident, but re- joined his squadron in September and took an active part in the St. Mihiel drive, doing exceptional work in bombing retreating German truck trains. At the time of his last fight he had to his credit sixtj'^-five hours of flying over the Hun lines. He had been recommended for the American Distinguished Service Cross, and was granted the Croix de Guerre by the 6th French Army. War often brings out in mere boys the finest quali- ties of riper manhood. So it was with "Bill" Taylor. Still a youth in years, he became a trusted leader and a foreman worthy of any warrior's steel. The story of his deeds has an Homeric quality; and his spirit was no less dauntless than that of the heroes who fought in single combat "far on the ringing plains of windy Troy." 105 ROBERT TUSSEY ISETT, '08 " They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old : Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." Laurence Binyon. Robert Tussey Isett was born November 17, 1887, in Spruce Creek, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. At Phillips Academy, where he spent three years, he was one of the prominent men in his class. He was manager of basketball, served on the Student Coun- cil, played on his winning class football team, and was a member of the Phi Lambda Delta society. After graduating from Cornell University in 1912, he be- came a member of the firm of E. W. Clark and Com- pany, bankers of Philadelphia. He enlisted Septem- ber 26, 1917, and was sent to the Ground Officers' Training School at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas; there, on December 15, he was commissioned First Lieutenant. In May, 1918, he was made Adjutant at Barron Field, Everman, Texas, and, on August 23, was promoted to his Captaincy. On September 21, while he was in the "accuracy" stage of his instruction, his plane suddenly took a straight nose dive to the ground and he was instantly killed. 106 ROBERT BRADSTREET WHITTIER, '17 " One more has joined the men who lie and listen To us, who march upon their burial-ground." Herbert As Robert Bradstreet Whittier was born April 27, 1895, in Everett, Massachusetts. At Phillips Acad- emy, where he spent three years, he made a most cred- itable record. At the time when he entered the service, in 1917, he was in the employ of the National Security Bank in Boston. He was sent to Camp Devens, where his promotion was rapid. He was finally commissioned a Second Lieutenant and assigned to Company K, 74th Infantry. On September 24, 1918, he died, after an illness of only two days, from pneumonia. Chaplain Smith of his regiment wrote to his pa- rents : — "You have given to the country and to the cause of righteous- ness a son with manly qualities of mind, heart, and soul. As an officer of the 74th Infantry he won our confidence, respect, and love. The young men who served under him in Company K will ever cherish his memory." 107 HENRY CAMPBELL PRESTON, '17 " A voice forever stilled, a memory. Since you went eastward with the fighting ships, A hero of the great new Odyssey, And God has laid his finger on your lips." Moray Dalton. Henry Campbell Preston and his pilot were killed together in a dramatic fight against five German Fok- kers on September 26, 1918, over Charleville, France. They fell about half a mile out of the village and within the German lines. German officers arranged a reverent burial service, and the funeral was conducted by a German chaplain. Lieutenant Preston lies in the cemetery at Charleville. He was born on July 20, 1898, in Chicago, Illinois. At Phillips Academy he was a student for nearly a year, leaving in the spring of 1916. While he was in LaFayette College, he enlisted in the aviation service and was sent to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology for preliminary instruction. He was ordered abroad in August, 1918, going first to England for final training in bombing, and then to France, where he was stationed at Le Mans and Tours. He was eventually commissioned a First Lieutenant and as- signed to the 20th Aero Squadron, 1st Bombardment Group, belonging to the 1st Army of the American Expeditionary Forces. This squadron took part in all the operations of our army on the Verdun front, from the beginning of September until the armistice. For his achievements Lieutenant Preston was awarded the C7'oioc de GueiTe, with palm. Lieutenant Preston was a brave and gallant officer, whose memory will long be cherished by those who knew him on the Hill. 108 AMMI WRIGHT LANCASHIRE, '08 " Thine was the seed-time ; God alone Beholds the end of what is sown; Beyond our vision, weak and dim, The harvest-time is hid with him." Ammi Wright Lancashire, only son of Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Lancashire of New York City, was born June 28, 1887, in Saginaw, Michigan. He spent one year at Lawrenceville and three years at Philhps Academy, where he was a member of the class of 1908. At Andover he was a member of the A. U. V. society. He also took a prominent part in various school activi- ties, being manager of the Musical Clubs, a member of the Promenade Committee, and Vice-President of his class. Graduating from Sheffield Scientific School in 1911, he made a trip to Europe, and then took a position with the Detroit National Bank. He was ultimately associated with his father in the investment business. In the autumn of 1915 he accompanied Mr. E. Alexander Powell, the war correspondent, on a tour of investigation through England and France. On July 5, 1917, he was commissioned as Ensign, and assigned for duty in the Cable Censor Department, New York City. Desk work, however, was not what he desired; in the spring of 1918 he applied for sea duty, and was transferred to the U. S. S. "Kansas." While this vessel was in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, he contracted influenza, which developed into pneu- monia. He died September 27, 1918, in the Phila- delphia Naval Hospital. 109 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Lancashire, who was instinctively hospitable and generous, made friends wherever he went. His cheer- fulness and good humor were contagious. To Phillips Academy he was ever loyal, and his bequest of $20,000 to his old school was merely a tangible expression of the devotion to it which he had shown in countless ways since leaving the Hill. 110 GEORGE EATON DRESSER, '17 " Our game was his but yesteryear ; We wished him back; we could not know The self-same hour we missed him here He led the line that broke the foe." Sir Henry Newbolt. George Eaton Dresser was a young man of all- round ability. Powerful and active physically, he played a brilliant game on the football eleven and the lacrosse team, besides taking part in practically every form of outdoor sport ; but he also stood at the top of his class in his studies, and he found time to sing on the Glee Club and to act on the governing board of the Society of Inquiry. He was a member of the Phi Beta Chi fraternity. These honors, all easily won, did not spoil Dresser in the least ; he was always frank and modest, and acted as if he were surprised that his mates should think so well of him. Dresser was born July 24, 1898, in Chicopee, Massachusetts. He entered Phillips Academy in 1915, graduating two years later. Soon after leaving An- dover, he joined the American Ambulance Service, but, with Paul Doolin, changed to the camion service when given an opportunity. Even this, however, he did not like. In a letter of September 25, 1917, he wrote : — "The entire absence of all danger makes us restless, and we know that the camion service is the place for men with wives and families, men to whom life is more precious than to us. . , . Although under the draft age, I have never for a second regretted that I am on the spot two years earlier than Uncle Sam would call me; others feel the same." Ill PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Dresser wanted aviation, but, when an opportunity- came to enter the Tank Corps, he wiUingly accepted it. On July 27, 1918, he said in a letter: — "We are using the little whippet tanks with a crew of a driver and a gunner, the sort that have been fighting so well in the pres- ent Allied offensive. It is really good fun to drive down trenches and up the rear side, over stone walls, through woods and shell holes, for a poor driver will give his man in the turret some mighty hard bumps if he doesn't know how to ease up the machine when it reaches the balancing point on the lip of a trench or some other approach to an obstacle." Two months later, on September 27, he was killed in action. Sergeant Nichols of the unit describes Dresser's death : — "The night of the 25th of September we moved up to the jump-off — Vauquois Woods. We were so tired that we lay down and dozed and dreamed half awake, as the barrage cracked over- head and threw light into our faces. That morning progress was hard, but it was made. George Dresser, driving for Sergeant Jackson, was killed, while Jackson was seriously wounded and is now blind." 112 Captain John C. Phelps, '02 Killed in action, Oct. 18, 1918 First Lieut. Harold L. Hemingway, 'K Died of wounds, Oct. 21, 1918 Private Hobart E. Early, '31 Died, Nov. 1, 1918 Second Lieut. Errol D. Marsh, '10 Killed in action, Nov. 2, 1918 RO SWELL HAYES FULLER, '13 " Your spirit passed, unconquered, unafraid. To join the gallant dead." Owen Seaman, RoswELL Hayes Fuller was last seen on the after- noon of September 29, 1918, near Verdun, chasing an enemy plane far over the German lines. A month later news came through the American Red Cross that he had lost his life in combat with the machine which he had pursued. Lieutenant Fuller was an experienced and daring aviator. He left Yale on April 17, 1917, to enlist in the Naval Aviation Forces, but later secured his dis- charge from the navy and, on June 15, entered the Army Aviation Corps. He received his ground school training at Champaign, Illinois, and his flying instruc- tion at the Wilbur Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio; and in November, 1917, he was commissioned a First Lieu- tenant. For a time he was attached to the 20th Aero Squadron, serving first as Assistant Supply Officer and later as Adjutant of the 4th Provisional Wing at Garden City, New York. After several months in England and Scotland, he was ordered to Issoudun, France, where he was made instructor of acrobatic flying. At the end of six months in this duty, he was at last sent to the front and had many narrow escapes. His most notable exploit occurred when he was sent on a special mission seventy-five miles into German territory, and, while returning, had a running fight alone against seven enemy planes, his own motor being so overheated that his plane would not rise. 113 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Lieutenant Fuller was born December 16, 1894, in Chicago, Illinois. He attended several schools, but prepared for college at PhiUips Academy, where he played on his winning class football team. At Yale he was a member of the Apollo and University Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, and belonged to Alpha Delta Phi. His roommate in college was Dumaresq Spencer, the details of whose death on January 22, 1918, have already been related in this volume. 114 CHARLES PHILIP GOULD, '16 "What matters Death, if Freedom be not dead? No flags are fair if Freedom's flag be furled. Who fights for Freedom goes with joyful tread To meet the fires of Hell against him hurled, And has for captain Him whose thorn-wreathed head Smiles from the Cross upon a conquered world." Joyce Kilmer. Charles Philip Gould was instantly killed on the morning of September 29, 1918, in one of the blood- iest battles of the war. The 107th Infantry (formerly the famous 7th Regiment of the New York National Guard), of which he was a Corporal in Company I, had been ordered to launch an attack near Cambrai on one of the most strongly defended sectors of the Hindenburg line. Going over the top at dawn, they charged with bayonets in the teeth of machine gun fire and drove the Germans back with an audacity which startled even the veteran Australians who were co- operating with them. It was supreme heroism, but the price paid was frightful. In Corporal Gould's com- pany only two squads survived the battle; and the casualties near where he fell were greater than any- where else in the 27th Division. Gould was born October 2, 1897, in Eureka, Kan- sas, but later came with his parents to Freeport, New York. He entered Phillips Academy in 1913, grad- uating three years later. In Andover he was one of the leaders of his class. He won his "A" in track ath- letics, and took two gold and two silver medals during his Senior year for victories in the pole vault. At his 115 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Commencement he was awarded the Otis prize, given to the student who makes the greatest all-round im- provement during his course. Upon leaving school Gould entered the Corn Ex- change Bank in New York City. One night in April, 1917, after war had been declared, he came to his father and said, "Dad, I believe I'll enlist." On the following day he joined the 7th Regiment and was sent to Camp Wadsworth for training. When his reg- iment sailed from Newport News for overseas, he was in the hospital; but he recovered and followed them on a freighter as a casual. He rejoined them in Sep- tember, 1918, just in time to take part in the exploit which will forever be associated with their names. Charles Gould entered the army in no spirit of bravado. He knew exactly what the cost might be. His favorite Bible verse was, "He endured hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ"; and he never ut- tered a complaint of army discipline or hardship. His father writes, "His sacrifice was clearly a self-giving from high motive and with tenacious purpose." As a boy he had dignity, independence, self-control; and these qualities, more fully developed in the stern necessities of war, distinguished him in the manly struggles into which he was thrust prematurely. One of his friends put it beautifully when he said, "His Jfine young life was not ended, but consummated, in a supreme sacrifice for a worthy cause." 116 GEORGE WILLIAM MUELLER, '08 " Duty is duty, whereso'er 'Tis done, and no man can do more Than in the testing-time, prepare To prove him conqueror. Or here or there — no matter where, — Who dies for Right hath done his share, And shall the victor's laurel wear." John Oxenham. George William Mueller was born April 9, 1888, in Meriden, Connecticut. He spent three years at Phillips Academy, and his mother writes that they were the happiest of his life. He continued his educa- tion in the Yale Law School, where he was on the editorial board of the Yale Law Journal and a mem- ber of the Phi Delta Phi society. After graduation in 1911, he took a position with the Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Connecticut, but eventually was associated in business with his uncle in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the summer of 1918 he enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve Force. Unfor- tunately he contracted influenza, which was followed by pneumonia, and he died October 4, 1918, at Cape May, New Jersey. He was to have been married in November of that year. 117 GEORGE MINOT CAVIS, '14 " Only a sweet and virtuous soul, Like season'd timber, never gives; But though the whole world turn to coal, Then chiefly lives." George Herbert. George Minot Cavis was born December 7, 1895, in Bristol, New Hampshire. After an early education in the Bristol schools, he was sent to Phillips Academy in 1911, graduating three years later. He completed three years at Dartmouth College, but then enrolled in the Harvard Reserve Officers' Training School, completing the course with credit. On December 1, 1917, he enlisted in the Coast Artillery Corps and was ordered to Fort Monroe for training. In April of the following year he received his gold shoulder bar and was assigned to Fort Andrews in Boston Harbor, as an instructor in artillery fire. In September he was promoted to be First Lieutenant and sent to Camp Devens for a short period of special study before going overseas with the 33d Regiment. There he con- tracted a severe cold in a rainstorm and went home on sick leave. In Bristol pneumonia developed, and he died, October 4, 1918. In speaking of his death a friend wrote : — "Lieutenant Cavis vras a young man of great personal charmj fine character, noble ambition, and a splendid type of Christian manhood." 118 WILLIAM JOSEPH HEVER, '13 " Somewhere in France, dust unto dust. You wait beyond the Inn of Life, Where through lone nights the guarding crust Shuts out the clamor of the strife." Orantland Rice. William Joseph Hevee died an heroic death. In the great battle of the Argonne Forest he was command- ing, as First Lieutenant, the F Company of the 305th Infantry. On October 3, 1918, when his regiment was meeting with vigorous resistance, he was ordered with his company to take a strong enemy position, and went forward at the head of his men. Heavy machine gun fire opened on them as they advanced, but they continued on. A messenger came up, calhng for Lieu- tenant Hever, and, as he turned, a bullet struck him in the shoulder. He fell, but a group of volunteers quickly carried him to the rear. Two days later, in spite of all that could be done to aid him, he died. Lieutenant Hever was born January 1, 1891, in New York City. He came to Phillips Academy in 1911, but withdrew in 1913 in order to enter Harvard, from which college he graduated in 1917. In May of that year he entered the Plattsburg Training Camp, receiving his commission as Second Lieutenant on August 15, 1917. On December 28 of that year he was given his First Lieutenancy, and in April, 1918, he sailed for France with the 305th Infantry. One of his comrades in the regiment described Lieutenant Hever as "a volunteer soldier, a noble officer, and a brave, unselfish man." There can be no greater praise from the lips of a friend. 119 DONALD CORPREW DINES, '17 " All that life contains of torture, toil, and treason. Shame, dishonor, death, to him were but a name. Here, a boy, he dwelt through all the singing season, And ere the day of sorrow departed as he came." Stevenson. Donald Corprew Dines was one of four Andoyer men who, in February, 1918, while Freshmen at Yale, enlisted in the Marines. The other three, "Steve" Hord, "Bob" Warren, and "Harve" Bradley, all saw plenty of action; but "Teck" Dines was destined to give his life. All four were sent to Paris Island for training, and went overseas in the late spring. In France they took part in many of the fiercest battles of the war; and in one of these, on October 5, Dines was instantly killed. Dines was born December 2, 1898, in Denver, Colo- rado, and was the youngest Andover man to meet death in action. He entered Phillips Academy in 1914, and remained three years. He was one of the acknowl- edged leaders of the school: manager of the track team. Secretary and Vice-President of his class, a member of the Advisory Board, the Student Council, the Cheering Staff, and the baseball nine. He belonged to the A. U. V. society. "Teck" was a sturdy, manly chap, who had no pettiness or affectation. He was absolutely without conceit or self-consciousness, and won respect through his masculine characteristics. It was quite natural that he should enlist with the "Devil Dogs," and equally to be expected that he would be at the front in every charge. 120 HERMAN CHAMBERS WILSON, '17 " His life was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man !' " Shakspere. Herman Chambers Wilson was born October 15, 1890, in Asheville, North Carolina, and was much older than the other members of his class at Phillips Academy ; but he never lost a boy's zest in living, and he knew how to win the confidence of younger men. In Andover his skill in athletics made him a leader, but he would, under any circumstances, have been one whose counsel was sought, — and heeded. He played on the football eleven and the baseball nine, being especially capable as a pitcher ; but he also held other offices in which popularity was more an asset than muscular power. In the spring of 1918, three days after America declared war, Wilson went to Boston and enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was sent at once to Paris Island, where his Plattsburg experience made him a valuable drillmaster ; and, despite his longing to get overseas, he was held at the task of beating the manual into the heads of raw recruits. At last, when the third company trained under him had gone abroad, he made so vigorous a protest that his desire was granted, and he went to France on May -24, 1918, with the 5th Regiment of Marines. He was promoted to be a Gun- nery Sergeant and took an active part in several of the hot engagements of the summer of 1918. On Octo- ber 6, 1918, he died of wounds received in action. 121 ROBERT HENRY COLEMAN, '12 " Mother, with unbowed head, Hear thou across the sea The farewell of the dead, — The dead who died for thee. Greet them again with tender words and grave. For, saving thee, themselves they could not save." Sir Henry Newbolt. Robert Henry Coleman had a charming manner which made everyone who knew him his friend. By nature somewhat shy and retiring, he never forced his way to leadership ; but his classmates knew his ability and respected it. No man of his time at Phillips Acad- emy was more universally liked. He was born February 15, 1894, in Louisville, Kentucky. After a short period at Taft School, he came to Andover, where he won prizes as a speaker and was a member of the P. A. E. society. At Yale, where he completed the course in four years, he was on the staff of the News and earned a first colloquy Junior and a second dispute Senior appointment. His fraternity was Delta Kappa Epsilon. After taking his degree he went to Harvard Law School, but withdrew in 1917 in order to enlist in the Aviation Corps. He completed training at Kelly Field, Texas, and at Wilbur Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, receiv- ing a commission as Second Lieutenant. On Septem- ber 15, 1918, he sailed from New York for overseas, but was taken ill on the boat with influenza. After his arrival, his sickness developed into pneumonia, and he died, October 8, at the Marine Hospital, Brest, France. 122 LUCIAN PLATT, '09 " He . . . who, if he be called upon to face Some awful moment to which Heaven has joined Great issues, good or bad for human kind. Is happy as a Lover; and attired With sudden brightness, like a Man inspired." Words'worth. LuciAN Platt was born January 28, 1892, in Balti- more, Maryland. At Phillips Academy he was espe- cially distinguished for high scholarship, winning membership in the Alpha Delta Tau society and tak- ing final honors in solid geometry and trigonometry. Later at Yale he was chairman of the Yale Scientific Monthly, class historian, and a member of the Aure- lian Honor society, the Elizabethan Club, Sachem Hall, and Sigma Xi. In 1914, after two years of grad- uate work at Yale, he received the degree of Engineer of Mines. After eight months spent with the New Jersey Zinc Company, he went to Alaska in the em- ploy of the Kennecott Copper Corporation. He re- turned in the autumn of 1918 and was at once commis- sioned a Second Lieutenant in the Engineers. While he was in training at Camp Humphreys, Virginia, he contracted pneumonia and died, October 9, 1918. 123 HERBERT EDWARD RANKIN, '05 " From mine and desk and mart. Springing to face a task undreamed before, Our men, inspired to play their prentice part. Like soldiers lessoned in the school of war. True to their breed and name Went flawless through the fierce baptismal flame." Owen Seaman. Herbert Edward Rankin was born April 15, 1887, in Albanj^ New York, and spent some early years at Albany Academy. At Phillips Academy, from which he graduated in 1905, he was on the honor roll in scholarship ; and, as a member of the class of 1909 at Princeton University, he took high rank. For two years he remained in Princeton as Instructor in Chem- istry; he then went abroad to study for his doctor's degree. At the outbreak of the Great War he re- turned, attended two Plattsburg camps and the Officers' Training School at Madison Barracks, and was selected as one of fifty to attend the Coast Artil- lery Camp at Fort Monroe, Virginia, where he was commissioned on August 12, 1917, as a Captain in the Coast Artillery Corps. After some further instruction at Fort Monroe and other stations, he was sent over- seas in October, 1918, as the officer in charge of Bat- tery C, 5th Anti-aircraft Battalion. On the voyage he contracted pneumonia and died, October 10, 1918, on board the British transport "Euripides." He was buried at sea on October 11. The First Sergeant of his company sent to his family the following tribute : — 124 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES "I am at a loss to express in mere words the sorrow of the members of the battery for the loss of their commander, whose slightest wish was their law. The men in future years will always regard the friendship of their dear dead comrade as one of the most beautiful memories of the past." 125 ELMER HARRISON SYKES, '11 " We gave, and gave our all, In gladness, though in pain; Let not a whisper fall That we have died in vain." Clinton S collar d. Elmer Harrison Sykes was born on February 1, 1889, in Rockville, Connecticut. After an early edu- cation in the Rockville schools, he came to Phillips Academy in the autumn of 1908, remaining one year as a member of the Lower Middle Class. Upon leaving Andover, he entered business with the Journal Pub- lishing Company of his native town. On May 23, 1918, he enlisted as a private in the Quartermaster Corps, and was soon assigned to Camp Zachary Tay- lor. There he was taken ill and died, October 11, 1918, of influenza. His death adds one more to the lamen- tably long list of Andover men who perished "ere their prime," with their boyish hopes unfulfilled. 126 PHILLIPS GARRISON MORRISON, '12 " Not in the wild rush of the fight God saw it meet for you to die. Yet he who keeps his armor bright His Lord doth magnify. You answered equally the call, And he who gives himself gives all. John Oxenham. Phillips Garrison Morrison made a record in scholarship at PhilHps Academy which will not soon be forgotten. He had an alert rapier-like mind, backed by a capacity for continuous study rarely found in young men. Personally he was rather shy and unas- suming, and, as he did not take part in athletics, he was not a prominent figure in school life. But his classmates respected and admired him, and his teach- ers found in him those qualities of mind and will which are certain to mean success in the years which follow college. Born March 22, 1894, in Merrimac, Massachusetts, Morrison lived with his parents in Andover and spent four years at Phillips Academy. In the Massachusetts Institute of Technology he continued his brilliant scholastic record, devoting himself largely to electrical engineering. He graduated in 1916. In June, 1917, he was commissioned a First Lieu- tenant in the Ordnance Corps and assigned for duty at Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia. His knowledge and training made him a valuable officer, and he was promoted to a Captaincy in January, 1918. Later he was transferred to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in 127 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Maryland. There, on October 12, 1918, he died of pneumonia. It is very difficult for one who knew Phillips Morri- son to refrain from eulogy which seems extravagant. He was so clean in his life, so devoted to the attain- ment of high ideals, so thoroughly high-minded and faithful, that the ordinary phrases of regret sound like mere lip service. He represented in his character and in his aims the best traditions of a school which stands for upright, unselfish manhood. 128 Captain Walter E. Donohue, '13 Killed in action, Nov. 1, 1918 First Lieut. Harry T. Moore, '14 Died, Nov. 30, 1918 John H. MacCreadie, '14 Died, Dec. 7, 1918 Corporal Truman D. Dyer, '14 Died, Dec. 11, 1918 FRANK DANA KENDALL, '08 " And you, to whom it was not given To die upon the foughten field, — You, you full equally have striven. For you your lives did yield As nobly as the men who fell There in the blazing mouth of hell." John Oxenham. Frank Dana Kendall was born August 3, 1887, at Winchester, Massachusetts, which was his home until his death. He attended the Winchester schools and the Mitchell Military Academy before coming to An- dover in 1904. After leaving Phillips Academy in 1905, he became interested in the lumber business in Winchester and was a leading citizen of the town. He enlisted in December, 1917, took the course in the Army Aviation Ground School at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was sent on September 5, 1918, to the flying field at Mineola, Long Island, where he was attached to the 357th Aero Squadron. A few weeks later he was ordered on detached service to Lufberry Field, where he contracted pneumonia. He died in a Red Cross hospital at Garden City on October 14, after an illness of ten days. Mr. Kendall's life had been much saddened by the long illness and death of his wife and child only two years before. It was his ambition to go overseas and it was difficult for him to bear the long wait on this side of the water; but it was not to be his fortune to give his life in action. Those who knew him, however, realize that manhood such as his is not content with sacrificing little. He died in helping men to be free. 129 KENNETH RAND, '10 Vale, Kenneth Band " As school-boys, we would sit alone o' nights Reading in Balzac, Omar, Stevenson, Or throw the books aside, and, one by one, Climb over shining schemes to dizzy heights. In college, sometimes, we would slip away From noisy classroom to some quiet inn Where we could pledge in tankards cool and thin The years we saw as gold scenes in a play. . . . Oh, Kenneth, how could dreams like ours be false? Our Avalons, our bright Hesperides, Our Inds, our islands washed by tropic seas All faded . . . faded . . . echoes of a walse. . . . You go (O world he reaches, hold him dear!) ; I stay, to tend the embers falling here." Harold Crawford Stearns, '10. Kenneth Rand, only twenty-seven years old at the time of his death, had already shown himself a true poet. His three published volumes, A Dirge of the Sea Children, The Rainbow Chaser, and The Dreamer, show something more than cleverness or smart versatility. He had made a serious study of metrics and knew thoroughly the technique of his art ; but he had also a genuine lyrical gift. Rand was born May 8, 1891, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Much of his early life was spent in travel, especially in Europe. During his three years at Phil- lips Academy, he played on the Mandolin Club and wrote for the Mirror, but he was not well known and he devoted more time to thinking than is thought to be quite normal by the average boy. At Yale he be- came chairman of the Lit Board and literary editor of the Courant, and he was the class poet. 130 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES After graduating from Yale in 1914, Rand gave his attention chiefly to writing. When war broke out, however, his one desire was to get into active service. He volunteered in every branch, both army and navy, only to be rejected because of defective eyesight. Finally he practically forced his way into the Quar- termaster Corps, and was recommended for the Officers' Training School at Camp Johnston. Before he could leave Washington, however, he was sent to the Walter Reed Hospital with influenza; there, on October 15, 1918, he died. The following poem, found in his uniform, is his finest, strongest work. It is the voice of an American hero : — "Limited Service Only" " I am not one o£ those the gods' decision Has chosen for that highest gift of all — The sacrifice, the splendor, and the vision — To fight, and nobly fall: " And yet I know — what though it be but dreaming ! Should the day hang on some last desperate hope, I — I — could lead one reckless column streaming Down some shell-tortured slope. " To face the shadow-hell of Death's own Valley With eyes unclouded and unlowered head — Know, for an instant, one ecstatic rally And then be cleanly dead." 131 JOHN CASE PHELPS, '02 " Pity the slain? O rather pity those In whom the unnourished soul from day to day Weaker and ever weaker grows, Dying at last, imprisoned in its clay." Dudley Poore, 'IS. John Case Phelps, although considerably over the original draft age, was one of the first to volunteer his services to his country. In 1916 he attended the Platts- burg Training Camp, and later went to the Officers' Training School at Madison Barracks, where, in Sep- tember, 1917, he was commissioned a Captain. He was assigned for duty at Camp Dix, and finally went over- seas in command of Company A, 309th Infantry. On October 18 he was killed in action near Grand Pre. Captain Phelps was born June 29, 1883, in Bing- hamton, New York. At Phillips Academy he grad- uated in 1902, being Treasurer of his class. At Yale, from which he graduated in 1906, he played on the Apollo Banjo Club and was a member of the Univer- sity Club and Delta Kappa Epsilon. After one year at Harvard Law School and a similar period at New York School, he was admitted to the bar, and prac- ticed in the office of Hinman, Howard, and Kattell in his native city. In 1915 he opened an office of his own in Binghamton, and conducted there an inde- pendent practice until his enlistment in the army. 132 HAROLD LUDINGTON HEMINGWAY, '10 " Then hail to all who gave us Their might of arm and soul. Hot and athirst to save us, To heal, and keep us whole." William Watson. Harold Ludington Hemingway died October 21, 1918, in France, of wounds received in action near Verdun on the preceding day. He had attended the Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg in 1917, and had, on August 15, won his commission as Second Lieutenant. His first permanent assignment was with Company K, 104th Infantry, 26th Division, stationed at Camp Bartlett, Westfield, Massachusetts. On Oc- tober 3 he sailed with his regiment for France, and, after February 5, 1918, was almost continuously in action, taking part in some of the most glorious ex- ploits of our army at Chateau-Thierry and St. Mihiel. On July 26 he was promoted to be First Lieutenant and made commanding officer of Company F. He was in command of this company when he died. His pro- motion to a Captaincy arrived on November 3, after his death. He was also recommended for the Distin- guished Service Cross. Born May 25, 1893, in New Haven, Connecticut, Hemingway went first to Hopkins Grammar School and later to Phillips Academy, where he graduated in 1910. During his college days at Yale he was a mem- ber of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Wolf's Head, and in his Senior year received an oration appointment. 138 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR After graduating in 1914, he was connected for a time with the New Haven Savings Bank, but in 1915 he accepted a position with Estabrook and Company of Boston. When he entered service, he was at the head of their Connecticut office. At a memorial gathering held in the Center Church at New Haven, Dr. Newman Smyth spoke most elo- quently in tribute to the young officer. On Lieutenant Hemingway the burden of battle had fallen more heavily than on most men. Through the heat of many a long day he had fought, and he was taken before the vision of peace was more than a fleeting mirage. But it was the heroism of such Americans as he in those last bloody hours of conflict that made it certain that the world would be at last redeemed and made safe for even the smallest nation. 134 ROWLAND WESTCOTT WATERBURY, '12 "The earth is sacred where they fell, — Forever on it lies the spell Of hero deeds in Freedom's cause, And men unborn shall come and pause To say a prayer, or bow the head. So leave these graves to hold their dead." Rowland Westcott Waterbury was born July 21, 1891, in Saratoga Springs, New York. He entered Phillips Academy on February 16, 1911, remaining until June, as a member of the class of 1912. Enlisting on September 1, 1917, as a private in Company L, 107th Infantry, he went overseas with the famous 27th Division. He saw action in many sharp engagements in France, and was promoted, in August, 1918, to be Corporal. On the morning of September 29 he went with his company in an attack on the Hindenburg line, and was struck in the leg by a bullet. His broken bone was set by an Australian doctor, but he was left in a trench throughout a long night of rain. Blood poison- ing set in, and all efforts to save him were in vain. He died on October 26, 1918, at General Hospital Num- ber 9, Rouen, France. 135 HOBART EVANS EARLY, '21 " The war is like the Judgment Day — All sham, all pretext torn away; And swift the searching hours reveal Hearts good as gold, souls true as steel." HoBART Evans Eaely was one of Andover's young- est heroes. Born August 13, 1898, in Medford, Massa- chusetts, he came to PhiUips Academy in September, 1917, and during that school year showed himself capable of leadership. In the autumn of 1918 he with- drew from Andover in order to join the Marines, and was sent to Paris Island, South Carolina. He had hardly begun his training when he was stricken by influenza, which turned into pneumonia; he died No- vember 1, 1918. "Hobe" Early's premature death came as a tragic blow to his fellows on the Hill. Going as he did di- rectly from their midst into the fighting force, he was to them a very live personality, and, when the news of his loss came, there were tears in many eyes. His school friend, George Gibson, wrote of Early's last hours : — "He talked of Andover a lot, and of the boys. Almost the last thing he said before going into a delirious state was that he was fighting as hard as he could and was doing his best and that he had tried to do his duty as best he could. ... I surely did prize his acquaintance. He was a good clean-cut God-fearing man, and I'm sure he went with a clean conscience." 136 WALTER EMMET DONOHUE, '13 " They put aside the velvet for the steel, Left love, and hope, and ease at home; and sped To the wilderness of war and every dread. Their blood is mortar for the commonweal; Their deeds its decoration and its boast." Robert Hughes. Walter Emmet Donohue of New York City spent one year at Phillips Academy, in 1910-11, as a mem- ber of the class of 1913, and lived at Williams Hall. He afterwards attended Williston Seminary, and graduated at Hamilton College in the class of 1917. In the spring of that year he enrolled at the Officers' Training School at Madison Barracks in New York State, and was commissioned on August 17 as a Sec- ond Lieutenant. At Camp Dix, to which he was soon assigned, he was promoted, on December 1, 1917, to be First Lieutenant in the 310th Infantry, 78th Divi- sion. Going overseas in the spring of 1918, he was made a Captain on October 28, only to fall three days later, on November 1, fatally wounded in the battle of the Argonne Forest. He is buried in the American Cemetery at Cheppy-sur-Meuse, Meuse, France. 137 ERROL DWIGHT MARSH, '10 "The better part of thee is with us still; Thy soul its hampering clay aside hath thrown, And only freer wrestles with the lU." Errol Dwight Marsh was at Phillips Academy for only a brief period, but the school is proud to have his name upon her rolls. Born in Ware, Massachu- setts, July 19, 1889, he came to Andover from schools in Westboro, but soon transferred to Worcester Academy. After three years at Dartmouth College, he withdrew in order to enter business with his father in Westboro. He received his commission as Second Lieutenant at Plattsburg, and was assigned to the 302d Infantry, in the 76th Division, which went over- seas in July, 1918. He was later ordered for duty with the 319th Infantry, 80th Division, and sent direct to the front. There, on November 2, 1918, he was killed in action. 138 HARRY TAYLOR MOORE, '14 " He gave his merry youth away For Country and for God." Harry Taylor Moore was born March 12, 1894, in New Rochelle, New York. He attended schools in Middletown, New York, and was for nearly two years a student in Phillips Academy. At the Plattsburg Officers' Training Camp in 1917 he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant, and assigned to duty at Camp Upton, where he held several administrative offices. He was eventually promoted to be First Lieutenant and made Assistant Adjutant in the camp. On No- vember 30, 1918, after an illness of ten days with in- fluenza and pneumonia, he died. His friend, Lieutenant Edmund L. Pearson, wrote most feelingly of the affection with which Lieutenant Moore was regarded at Camp Upton : — "It was not his good fortune to go to France, and those who knew his fine keen spirit will appreciate the disappointment which he felt. He was of the very stuff of those men whose names we are daily reading in the lists of soldiers cited for gallantry in action. . . . His associates and friends were surprised to learn of his youthfulness, — his poise and intellectual alertness were those of a man a decade older. He had that rare form of moral courage which enables a man to grasp and solve a new problem, to deal with a new situation. . . . Our eyes are blinded and our faith tried to the utmost by this loss." 139 JOHN HARLAND MacCREADIE, '14 " You, beyond the reach of time and weather, Of youth in death forever keep the knowledge. We hoard our youth* we hoard our youth, and fear it. But you, who freely gave what we have hoarded. Are with the final goal of youth rewarded. The road to travel and the traveler's spirit." John Harland MacCreadie was born April 24, 1893, in Lawrence, Massachusetts. During his two years at Phillips Academy he was President of the Philomathean society and led its debating team. In 1915 he entered Princeton, where he took honors in his studies. At the outbreak of our war he enlisted in the Naval Reserves at Brooklyn- Naval Yard, and was assigned to the Chemical Laboratory, where he did important special work on fuel and food for the navy. In November, 1918, he contracted influenza and died December 7. In August he had passed successfully an examination for a commission, which was pending at the time of his death. MacCreadie was one of the most earnest and faith- ful of students, and could be relied upon to carry out a task to its conclusion. This same spirit he carried into his naval work, and his overwork so weakened him that he was unable to resist disease. 140 STEWART FLAGG, '93 " Thou hast been As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing; A man that fortune's buffets and rewards Hast ta'en with equal thanks." Shaksfere. Stewart Flagg was the oldest Andover man to give his hfe in the service of his country. When the Great War broke out, he was hving in France, and at once volunteered for hospital work, in which he was en- gaged for nearly nine months. He then joined the Harjes Ambulance Formation, as a member of which he served through the entire Verdun campaign of 1916. In March of that year he volunteered for the duration of the war and was attached to the 66th Chasseurs Division of the French Army. During the next few months he worked under the most arduous conditions in the Vosges Mountains and in the Cham- pagne sector. Four times his ambulance was destroyed by shell fire, and he was three times cited, receiving both the CroioD de Guerre and the even more coveted Fourragere. He was the first man in the American Army to wear this Fourragere emblem on the American uniform. Mr. Flagg's first citation reads as follows: — "Ambulance driver, Stewart Flagg, — an American volunteer for the duration of the war; a man of duty, showing the greatest calmness and devotion under all circumstances, without fear, abso- lutely disdaining all dangers, — has particularly distinguished himself during the attacks of March and December, 1916, in a very exposed section, by taking away the wounded under an intense bombardment." 141 HONOR BIOGRAPHIES When the United States entered the war, the Harjes Formation was disbanded and Flagg enlisted as a private in the American Army; but, because of his previous service with the French troops, he was assigned to continue his duties with the famous Alpine regiment. In the great offensive of July, 1917, he was badly injured, and had to undergo an operation, from which he had apparently recovered. On Friday, De- cember 10, 1918, however, he died very suddenly. Mr. Flagg was also a veteran of the Spanish- American War, having served as a gun pointer on the after port gun of the U. S. S. "Yankee" in the battle of Santiago and other engagements. He had an ad- venturous spirit which led him always into the thick of action in any struggle for the right. 142 TRUMAN DUNHAM DYER, '14 " One thing we know, that love so greatly spent Dies not when lovers die; from hand to hand We pass the torch and perish — well content. If in dark years to come our countrymen Feel the divine flame leap in them again. And so remember us and understand." Truman Dunham Dyer was born January 26, 1896, in Warren, Ohio. While he was in Philhps Academy, he played on the football squad, and he was a member of the A. U. V. society. He continued his education at Sheffield Scientific School, where he was elected to Franklin Hall. In the spring of 1917 he was a Cor- poral in the Yale Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Entering the service in August, 1918, at Columbus Barracks, Columbus, Ohio, he was shortly transferred to Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Alabama, where he was promoted to be a Corporal. He passed exami- nations for the Central Officers' Training School at Atlanta, Georgia, but the armistice was signed just two days before his order to report there arrived. A few weeks later Corporal Dyer contracted influenza, which developed into pneumonia; he died, December 11, 1918, in the Base Hospital at Camp Sheridan. His infant son, Truman Dunham Dyer, Jr., was born only ten days before, and his father, who was home on his first and only furlough, was able to hold him in his arms and give him his blessing. 143 HENRY MARTIN YOUNG, '17 " Fear not that, ye have died for naught. The torch ye threw to us we caught. Ten million hands will hold it high And Freedom's light will never die." Henry Martin Young was born March 21, 1894, in New York City. He spent one year at Phillips Acad- emy in the class of 1917, but left with his course in- complete in order to enter Amherst. In his Freshman year at that college he was captain of his class cross- country team; but he withdrew in May, 1917, in order to enter the Plattsburg Training Camp. On June 14 he was recommended for transfer to the Air Service and went to the Ground School at Cornell. After graduating there, he was assigned successively to Gerster Field, Camp Pike, and Taliaferro Field. On May 11, 1918, he was commissioned as a Second Lieu- tenant, and served as Gunnery Pilot and as Instructor in Aerial Gunnery and Combat. He died on Decem- ber 14, 1918, of pneumonia, following influenza. His commanding officer, Major T. C. McCaulay, wrote to Lieutenant Young's guardian as follows: — "It becomes nfty duty and is a sacred privilege to bear witness to the high esteem in which Lieutenant Young was held by his group of friends and associates, and indeed by all who knew him at this field. He possessed and displayed those qualities of dis- ciplined courage that distinguish the heroic soldier, and he held aloft the glorious traditions of our country. He leaves an enviable record that will be as inspiring to those under whom and with whom he served as sustaining to his relatives and friends." 144 Corporal Rowland W. Waterbury, '12 Died of wounds, Oct. 36, 1918 Stewart Flagg, '93 Died, Dec. 10, 1918 Second Lieut. Henry M. Young, '17 Second Lieut. Vivion K. Mouser, '15 Died, Dec. 14, 1918 Died, Jan. 7, 1919 VIVION KEMPER MOUSER, '15 " The joy of young adventurous ways, Of keen and undimmed sight, The eager tramp through sunny days, The dreamless sleep of night. The happy hours that come and go In youth's untiring quest. They gave, because they willed it so, With some light-hearted jest." VivioN Kemper Mouser had a long and varied mili- tary experience. Born in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, April 20, 1895, he received his early education at Randolph-Macon Academy, but later attended Phil- lips Academy and Kentucky Military Institute, going from there to the University of Michigan. He was in college at the time of the American Declaration of War, and immediately volunteered for the first Offi- cers' Training Camp at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. Be- fore this course was completed, he secured a transfer to the Field Artillery School at Camp Lee. At the close of his work there, he passed an examination for the Artillery School at Saumur, France, and sailed overseas. May 23, 1918. After spending three months at Saumur and receiv- ing his commission as Second Lieutenant, he was ordered to duty at the front and was in action through- out the great St. Mihiel drive. As an officer in the 115th Field Artillery, he was in the midst of the battle of the Argonne Forest, where he was caught in a gas attack and suffered severely. He was given a leave of absence, which he spent at Nice and Monte Carlo, and then returned to his battery; but his lungs were still affected and he contracted pneumonia, from which he died, January 7, 1919. 145 JOHN LORING BAKER, 09 " He in the soul's eternal cause Went forth as martyrs must — The kings who make the spirit laws And rule us from the dust." John Loring Bakee of Washington, D. C, entered Phillips Academy in the autumn of 1906, as a member of the class of 1909, but remained only somewhat less than a year. Early in the Great War he was commis- sioned as First Lieutenant, Ordnance Officers' Re- serve Corps. His principal station was with the Cana- dian Bridge Company at Walkerville, Ontario, where he was assigned as Inspector of Ordnance. There, on February 13, 1919, he died of pneumonia. 146 EDWARD RANKIN BRAINERD, '10 "A soldier, yet less soldier than a man. Who gave to justice what a soldier can, — The courage of his arm, a patient heart, And the fire-soul that flamed when wrong began." George Edgar Montgomery, Edward Rankin Braineed of Los Angeles came to Phillips Academy in September, 1906, and remained three years. While in school, he was a member of the Phi Lambda Sigma society and made a wide circle of friends. He later graduated from the University of California as Bachelor of Science, and spent one year at Harvard Law School, at the close of which he set- tled down to the practice of law with the firm of Flint and Jutten in his native city. On May 20, 1918, he was inducted into military service and assigned to the 21st Infantry. After a course at the Field Artillery School at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, he was commissioned on October 31 as a Second Lieutenant and assigned as Instructor in Riding and Driving in the same camp. Although, after the armistice, he was eligible for discharge, he remained, at the request of a superior officer, and was stationed at the camp Convalescent Center in charge of soldiers returned from overseas. There he con- tracted influenza, followed by pneumonia, and died, February 16, 1919. He was buried in Los Angeles on February 21, with full military honors. Although Lieutenant Brainerd was only twenty- nine years old at the time of his death, he had already made his mark as a man of force and influence in his community. Young though he was, he had not lived in vain ; and he gave his life in the spirit of self-sacrifice. 147 GEORGE WEBSTER OTIS, 14 " Death comes with a crawl or it comes with a pounce, And whether it's slow or spry, It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts, It's only how did you die." George Webster Otis was born June 28, 1895, in Chicago. He spent two years at Phillips Academy, leaving at the close of the school year in 1913. He was in his Sophomore year at Yale when America de- clared war ; and in the following June he enlisted with the 17th United States Engineers (railway), which sailed for France on August 1, 1917, being one of the earliest regiments to go overseas. In August, 1918, he was recommended for a commission in the heavy artil- lery and, when the armistice was signed, was at the Saumur Artillery School. He graduated on December 21, 1918. Shortly afterward he was stricken with appendicitis, and the operation which followed left him in a weakened condition. He contracted pneu- monia and died, February 18, in the Base Hospital, Savenay, France. His commission as Second Lieu- tenant was on its way but had not reached him, and it was later sent to his parents. Brigadier-General Charles G. Dawes, his com- manding general, cabled Otis's father as follows : — "Webster was conscious until the end and died without pain. He had high qualities of manhood. His generous and lovable dis- position and fine conduct as a soldier made him inexpressibly dear to his associates." 148 MEN CITED OR DECORATED FOR EXTRAORDINARY BRAVERY " He speaks not well who doth his time deplore, Naming it new and little and obscure, Ignoble and unfit for lofty deeds. All times were modern in the time of them. And this no more than others. Do thy part Here in the living day, as did the great Who made old days immortal ! So shall men. Gazing long back to this far-looming hour. Say : 'Then the time when men were truly men !' " Richard Watson Gilder. The following list is intended to include those Andover men who, for exceptional courage or intre- pidity in action, were awarded special honors by our own country or any of the various Allied nations. Doubtless some names of importance are unavoidably omitted; but every effort has been made to print a complete and accurate record. As it stands, the num- ber of those thus distinguished is sufficiently impres- sive. The names are arranged by classes, ranging from 1892 to 1920, and every one is mentioned who has been reported at any time to the office of Phillips Academy. 149 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 1892 John Campbell Greenway, whose dramatic career in the Spanish War as a Lieutenant in Colonel Roose- velt's "Rough Riders" is well known to every An- dover man, was commissioned at the time of our en- trance into the war as a Major in the 101st Engineers and went with them to France in September, 1917. He was later, however, transferred to be Lieutenant- Colonel of the 101st Infantry, 26th Division, with which regiment he saw plenty of fighting. For extraor- dinary heroism in action near Verdun he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross on October 23, 1918. His citation reads as follows: — "During a terrific enemy shelling on two of his battalions and after both his battalion commanders had been wounded, Colonel Greenway personally directed the activities and greatly encouraged his forces by his presence. Leading them in attack he demonstrated the utmost valor at the most criti- cal moments, and he was the first of his command to enter the German trench which marked the objective of the day's Colonel Greenway returned to this country shortly after the armistice and received his honorable dis- charge. 1893 Fred Towsley Murphy of St. Louis, Missouri, one of the members of the Board of Trustees of Phillips Academy, worked most efficiently during the Great War in, the Medical Corps, and was eventually pro- moted to the rank of Colonel in the United States Army. On April 16, 1919, he was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Medal by General Pershing "for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services." Colonel Murphy returned to this country in March, 150 MILITARY HONORS 1919, and shortly afterward received his honorable discharge. 1895 Edward Foote Hinkle enlisted in July, 1916, as a second class soldier in the 1st Regiment of the French Foreign Legion, but was transferred in August of the same year to Aviation Service. He was breveted as a Pursuit Pilot on November 4, made a Corporal on December 15, and promoted to be Ser- geant in June, 1917. Hinkle was probably the oldest aviator on active duty in the Allied armies during the war. He was forty years of age when he learned to fly, and he perfected himself as an aviator in a single- seater, without a teacher in the plane. With William Thaw and Raoul Lufberry, he received from King Nicholas of Montenegro the Montenegrin War Cross, these three being the only Americans to win that honor. He had two fights with enemy aviators behind the French lines, but in each case his opponent fled to safety. His lungs and heart were finally affected by cold and altitude, and he was honorably discharged, in March, 1918. 1899 Henry Root Stern of New York City enlisted August 25, 1917, at the Plattsburg Officers' Training Camp, and was commissioned First Lieutenant of In- fantry on November 29. He was assigned to the 311th Infantry, 78th Division, and went overseas in May, 1918. On September 20, near Vieville en Haie in the St, Mihiel sector, he was wounded severely in action, and, because of his gallantry, was recommended for the Distinguished Service Cross. His promotion to be Captain of Infantry arrived October 5, but dated 151 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR from August 17- Captain Stern was honorably dis- charged from service on January 16, 1919. 1900 Thomas Alexander Butkiewicz of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, volunteered with the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Formation in 1916, serving with Ambu- lance Unit XL On September 24, 1917, by order of the General commanding the French 74th Infantry, he was given the Croix de Guerre, with the following citation : — "The American Volunteer, Thomas Butkiewicz, Jr., sous- chef adjoint of S. U. XI, volunteered his services in 1916, from which time he has always shown the highest qualities of duty and technical ability. In March, 1917, in a dangerous sector during an attack of the enemy he assisted in bringing in a great number of wounded on roads exposed to heavy enemy shell-fire under extremely dangerous conditions. Upon the occupation of a sector recently conquered he organized the carrying of the wounded under a heavy bombardment of high explosive shells with a mastery of command and firmness which imparted to the men the same confidence." After America entered the war, he was commissioned a First Lieutenant in the United States Army, and made commanding officer of S. S. U. 523, of which he took charge on October 20, 1917. He received two individual citations, one on November 12, 1918, and another on January 8, 1919, entitling him to add one gold star, one silver star, and two palms to his original CroioD de Guerre. On January 13, 1919, the following citation was given to him and his unit by Marshal Petain : — "Section of volunteers who, immediately upon the declara- tion of war by America, put themselves generously at the 152 MILITARY HONORS service of the defense of right and liberty, all animated by the finest spirit of solidarity and sacrifice, and with the most ad- mirable courage, coolness, and intelligence. Under the com- mand of Lieutenant Butkiewicz the section won the admira- tion of all in every engagement it took part in with the divi- sion during a period of two years, assuring the transport of the wounded from the very front lines, in spite of all sorts of difficulties and the most violent bombardments, in the course of which a number of drivers were killed or wounded, and many cars were riddled by eclats or wrecked by shells." On March 1, 1919, Lieutenant Butkiewicz was honor- ably discharged from the American Army, and went at once to Poland in charge of the transportation ser- vice of the American Red Cross in that country. 1901 Alden Bkooks, formerly of Andover but of recent years a resident in France, has won distinction both as writer and soldier. Before America entered the war his volume of short stories. The Fighting Men, had given one of the best interpretations of various phases of the European conflict. In August, 1917, he en- tered as a pupil in the French Artillery School at Fontainebleau. In November he was made aspirant in the 83d Regiment, 67th Battery, Heavy Artillery. Early in 1918 he was promoted to be Sous-Lieutenant with the 3d Group, 81st Regiment, R. A. L. For bravery in action he was awarded the French Croioc de Guerre, with a silver star. 1902 John Nesmith Greely, son of Major General Adolphus W. Greely of Washington, D. C, entered the army by competition, and was commissioned on January 4, 1908, as Second Lieutenant of Field 153 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Artillery. On March 2, 1911, he was promoted to be First Lieutenant, and on July 1, 1916, he secured his Captaincy. He served three years in the Philippines and six months at Vera Cruz. In July, 1917, he was ordered to duty with the famous 1st Division, and served with it until after the armistice. He was pro- moted successively to be Major, Field Artillerj^ Lieutenant-Colonel, Field Artillery, and Colonel, General Staff, assigned to duty with the Commanding General, 1st Division, as Assistant Chief of Staff. He took an active part in the Cantigny campaign, April 5-July 7, 1918, and was cited by the Division Commander, General Summerall, "for distinguished ability while performing duties of grave responsi- bility." He later succeeded Colonel Campbell King as Chief of Staff of the Division, being in this position during the St. Mihiel drive and the Argonne-Meuse battles of October 4-11. When the 1st Division went to Germany with the Army of Occupation, Colonel Greely was ordered to duty on General Pershing's staff. 1905 Eliot Aveey Carter of West Newton, Massachu- setts, after attending three successive Plattsburg Camps in 1915, 1916, and 1917, was commissioned as Second Lieutenant and went overseas with Company B, 103d Infantry, of the glorious 26th, or Yankee, Division.

In March of that year he joined Sec- tion 3, and was with this section as a driver until Sep- tember, serving at the front near Nancy and taking part in the great battles of Verdun, Pont-a-Mousson, and Bois-le-Pretre. From September until December he was with Section 1, attached to the 32d French Division in the Argonne Forest. After returning to America for a short visit, he returned in June, 1917, to France and enlisted in the Mallet Reserve, assigned to Section T. M. U. 526. He was mustered out in November, 1917, but left at once for Milan, Italy, where he joined the American Red Cross Ambulance Service with the Italian Army, reaching the Piave front on Christmas Eve. With Section 3, he did front line work as part of the 79th Sezione di Sanita, acting as chef de popote, or steward, for his section. In May, 1918, he received the Italian Medaglia Distintivo. The account of the exploit which won him this deco- ration reads as follows : — "Paul Tison of New York and Wallace W. Kellett of Germantown, Pa., were driving an ambulance along the *lower river road' on the Piave front at a time when the Aus- trians were putting down a rather heavy barrage. At a posts de secours, just in front of the Italian second line, they were stopped by officers and advised not to go on. Disregarding the suggestion, they hurried on to the dressing-station. They were compelled to drive through the barrage and, by the time they reached a comparatively safe spot to park their ambu- lance under the bank of the Piave, the machine was riddled 174 MILITARY HONORS with shrapnel. Loading their car with wounded, they waited until the bombardment was less severe, and returned safely." In the summer of 1918 Tison was released and re- turned to Paris, where he was employed by the Paris headquarters of the United States Air Service. He was honorably discharged in December, 1918. 1915 Lester Hart Larrabee of Willimantic, Connecti- cut, enlisted in June, 1917, as a member of the Yale Section 85, United States Army, Ambulance Service. He went overseas on August 8, 1917, and was soon after transferred to the French Army Ambulance Service, Section 585. By special citation, issued June 18, 1918, by General Segonne of the 128th Division, Larrabee was awarded the French Croix de Guerre. His citation reads as follows: — "Driver Lester H. Larrabee did not hesitate on June 4, 1918, in response to a call from an advanced poste, to depart with his ambulance on a road heavily shelled by the enemy artillery ; he likewise distinguished himself by his courage and sang-froid in going some hundred metres from the lines, on the night of June 7 and on a road which he did not know, to gather up wounded." Norman Wakefield MacDonald went overseas with the Yale Ambulance Unit in May, 1917, and was attached to the French Army; but, as soon as the American forces arrived, he enlisted as a private, being assigned for duty with the French Ambulance Service. With three others in his section he received the Croix de Guerre for bravery in action at Verdun in September, 1917. Later, on October 23, 1918, General Petain awarded a sectional citation to Mac- 175 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Donald's unit (Section Sanitaire Americaine, 627), for the exceptional courage of its members during the offensive of July, 1918. His unit was the first Ambu- lance Section to enter the city of Mainz after the armistice was signed. Jerome Preston enlisted in the American Ambu- lance Service in France on February 15, 1917, and later, when America entered the war, enlisted as pri- vate in the Ambulance Service of the United States Army. By General Order 139 of his Infantry Divi- sion he was awarded the Ci^oicc de Guerre, his citation, dated April 19, 1918, reading as follows: — "Jerome Preston, Conducteur American, Engage volon- taire Americain done d'un esprit tres eleve s'est fait particu- lierement remarque par son Lieutenant pendant le bombarde- ment par avion s du cantonnement de le 17 septembre, 1917. Toujours volontaire pour les evacuations les plus diffi- ciles s'est offert le 12 mars pour evacuer seul les officiers et cannoniers d'une batterie soumise aux effets des gaz toxiques, cela une route violemment bombardee. Exemple continuel d'energie, de travail, et de discipline," Sydney Thayer, Jr., of Merion, Pennsylvania, en- listed early in the war in the famous 5th Regiment of Marines, attached to the 2d Division. He fought with his company through the battles of Belleau Wood and Chateau-Thierry; and, on June 28, 1918, was com- missioned a Second Lieutenant, with six others. The Commanding Officer, in swearing the seven in, said : — "Men, you have been picked from special recommendations by your commanding officers and also from mention of your action in the recent battle, which has come to the notice of this office. You can tell them all you won it." In one of his letters, after describing some particu- 176 LiEUT.-CoL. Hexry B. Joy, '83 Air Service, U.S.A. CoLOXEL Henry L.

MILITARY HONORS larly bloody adventures, Lieutenant Thayer con- eluded : — "It's a great old 'guerre' all right, and I wouldn't know what to do if it ever stopped." He was later promoted to be a First Lieutenant, and, on one occasion, was Acting Captain of the 43d Com- pany. During the last five hours of fighting he was wounded in the arm. The 2d Division had crossed the Meuse the night before and had entered the Boche lines; they attacked early in the morning and "Sid's" arm was broken in the charge, about daylight. He was removed to a captured farmhouse, as he was too far from the dressing-station to be safely carried there. About eleven o'clock two German officers appeared with white flags and asked if he knew the armistice was signed. He verified the report, and was then car- ried back to the dressing-station. For extraordinary heroism shown in this action near Beaumont, November 11, 1918, Lieutenant Thayer was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. His citation reads in part as follows: — "After having been wounded. Lieutenant Thayer remained with his company until its objective had been reached, refus- ing evacuation until rendered unconscious by loss of blood." 1916 Paul Abbott of New York City, while working as a member of the American Ambulance Field Service in Italy in the spring of 1918, was decorated with the Italian Medaglia Distintivo for bravery under fire and devotion to duty. Homer Conroy of Brooklyn, New York, served for five months in the American Ambulance Field Service in 1917, but in November of that year enlisted 177 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR in the French Army. After graduating from Fon- tainebleau as Sous-Officier, he was assigned to the 215th Regiment, as a member of which he took part in many engagements. From General Degoutte of the 6th French Army he received the Croix de Guerre^ with palm and the following citation : — "Jeune officier plein d'ardeur a assure son service dans le combat du 15 juillet avec un sang-froid remarquable, negli- geant de s'abriter a I'arrivee des obus faisant en meme temps que son service de chef de section le service d'observation rapproche. Pendant le repli son Commandant de batterie ayant ete blesse, s'est presente immediatement pour le trans- porter, de fa9on a ne pas le laisser tomber aux mains de I'ennemi — I'a transporte sous le feu direct pendant 500 metres." In addition Conroy has also received the Medaille Militaire, the highest French award for bravery. He was honorably discharged from service on March 6, 1919, and returned at once to America. William Arthur Flint of New Haven, Connecti- cut, enlisted on June 8, 1917, as a private in the Yale Ambulance Unit, and sailed for France on August 7. As a member of Sanitary Service Unit No. 585, he received the Croix de Guerre on September 8, 1918, his citation reading as follows: — "William A. Flint, American driver, very devoted and very courageous, has displayed the most beautiful bravery and a remarkable endurance during the operations from the 17th to the 23d of August, 1918, evacuating wounded from the posts almost continually under the fire of the enemy." Flint had a most exciting experience in France, taking part in nearly all the major operations of the Ameri- can Army during 1918, and later going with the Army of Occupation into Germany. 178 MILITARY HONORS Stewart Augustus Searle of Minneapolis, Minne- sota, volunteered in the American Ambulance Field Service on May 3, 1917, sailing overseas on May 26, On September 25 he enlisted in the United States Army in the Ambulance Service, being promoted, as a member of Sanitary Service Unit 645, from private to Corporal and Sergeant. On February 12, 1919, by order of General Vincendon commanding the French 59th Infantry Division, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre. His citation reads as follows : — "Sous-Officier d'une extreme merite: a fait preuve, soit comme conducteur d'une voiture sanitaire, soit comme sous- officier d'une exceptionelle bravoure et du plus tranquille sang- froid, devant Chavigny (Aisne), du 26 aout a septembre, 1918, a commande sa Section en I'absence de I'officier, faisant lui-meme les reconnaissances pour pousser ses voitures au contact des premieres lignes." Sergeant Searle remained after the armistice as a member of the Army of Occupation. James Moss Weber of Chicago, Illinois, enlisted as a member of Yale Mobile Hospital Unit, which be- came Sanitary Section Unit No. 585. By an order, dated July 26, 1918, from the Headquarters of the 128th French Division, he was awarded the Croioo de Guerre J his citation reading as follows: — "James Weber, ambulance driver, very brave and very devoted, having given proof of the utmost contempt of danger and shown the most brilliant dash, during the operations from the 17th to the 20th of July, in proceeding, day and night, in the transportation of wounded, notwithstanding the physi- cal fatigue and under the enemy's bombardment." He later went to Germany with the Army of Occu- pation and- was stationed at Aix-la-Chapelle. 179 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR Dudley Francis Cecil Wolfe has had his full share of army service of various kinds and has prob- ably a larger collection of medals than any other An- dover man. Enlisting on July 10, 1917, in the 1st Artillery, Maine National Guard, he was rejected when the regiment was federalized on account of defective eyesight and flat feet. He then, after being turned down by every other branch of service, volun- teered in the American Ambulance Service in France, and worked as a camion driver for one month on the Soissons front. For the next ten months he was an ambulance driver with the Italian Ambulance Ser- vice, in Section 2 on the Piave River. While engaged in this work, he was presented by the Duke of Aosta with the Italian medal of valor for exceptional brav- ery during the Austrian attack of June 14-24, 1918. He received also the Italian Croce di Guerra, the Italian Red Cross medal, and the Campaign medal for the Italian-Austrian War. On October 1, 1918, he enlisted in the famous French Legion Etrangere, receiving the French Volunteer Medal and the French Campaign Medal. The signing of the armis- tice found him still a member of the Foreign Legion. 1917 Harold Robert Buckley of Agawam, Massachu- setts, one of Andover's two aces, has a record of achievement which few aviators can surpass. He went overseas in April, 1917, with the Andover Ambu- lance Unit, but soon found the camion service too sheltered and tame. He wrote home: — "The sight of old, tired men, as old as our fathers, covered with mud and carrying a pack of heavy equipment, dragging themselves along the roads to and from the trenches, was too 180 MILITARY HONORS much for us, and practically all of us have changed, or soon will, from the field service to something else where we can feel that we are doing all we can, and not merely a part." Enlisting on October 25 as a private in the Avia- tion Section, Signal Corps, he soon showed himself a cool and skilful airman. On December 12 he received his First Lieutenant's bar, and was assigned to the 1st Pursuit Group, 95th Aero Squadron, as a member of which he was associated with James Knowles, the other Andover ace. Buckley's first victory was won on May 30, 1918, and for it he was awarded the Croix de Guerre on November 29, by special order of Gen- eral Petain. The citation reads as follows: — "Pilote de chasse et chef de patrouille calme et determine. A attaque des avions et des ballons et mitraille des troupes a terre a faible altitude. Le 30 mai, 1918, a, avec sa patrouille livre combat a deux avions ennemis dont Fun fut abattu, I'autre force de descendre desempare." On August 10 he performed a feat of extraordinary- heroism in action which won him the American Dis- tinguished Service Cross, presented on November 21. The exploit is described as follows : — "Captain Buckley was on a patrol protecting a French biplane observation machine, when they were suddenly set upon by six enemy planes. Captain Buckley attacked and destroyed the nearest, and the remainder fled into their own territory. He then carried on with his mission until he had escorted the Allied plane safely to its own aerodrome." Another exhibition of daring on September 26 and 27, near Reiville, France, gave him a Bronze Oak Leaf in addition to his Distinguished Service Cross. His citation reads : — "Captain Buckley dived through a violent and heavy air- craft and machine-gun fire and set on fire an enemy balloon 181 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR that was being lowered to its nest. On the next day, while leading a patrol, he met and sent down in flames an enemy plane while it was engaged in reglage work." His promotion to be Captain, Air Service, arrived on November 1, 1918, at which time he wrote: — "Of the twenty aviators in my squadron who started with me at the front, there are only five left, including myself. . j. . I am now an ace, with five official victories to my credit." ' Captain Buckley has also been given the American Aero Club Medal for brilliant service. He returned to America in March, 1919, and received his honorable discharge. James Henry Eaton of Lawrence, Massachusetts, joined the American Red Cross Ambulance Service in May, 1918, and was sent to Italy for duty. He served along the Piave front from June to September, 1918, and was awarded the Italian War Cross for "bravery under fire." Section Number 3, to which he belonged, won unusual distinction because of the part it played in supplying those in the front line with munitions and other necessary supplies at a time dur- ing the great Austrian drive when all other means of securing them had been cut off. Eaton left the ambulance work in order to enlist in the British Royal Air Force, and was accepted at once for training. At the time of the armistice he was in England undergoing instruction. He was honor- ably discharged on February 27, 1919, receiving at that time an honorary Second Lieutenancy in the Royal Air Force. He returned to America in March, 1919. Eaele Lancaster was a member of Battery A in Boston and, after the American Declaration of War, 182 MILITARY HONORS trained three months at Boxford, Massachusetts. When the National Guard was federalized, however, he was honorably discharged because of a bad ankle resulting from a football injury. For the same cause he was rejected by the navy and the aviation service. Volunteering in the American Ambulance Field Ser- vice, he sailed overseas on October 1, 1917. Once in France, he enlisted in the United States Army, was accepted, and assigned to Section 638, Convois Autos. His entire section was cited three times. He himself was cited for bravery under fire and was decorated with the French Croix de Guerre for distinguished courage. MuiR Whillas Lind of Detroit, Michigan, enlisted in May, 1917, as an ambulance driver with the Ameri- can Ambulance Field Service, becoming a member of Sanitary Service Unit 638. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery, and received both army and divisional citations. When the United States entered the war, he enlisted in our own army, but was assigned to his former work and section. Mortimer James Miller of Rochester, New York, was awarded the French Croix de Guerre for extraor- dinary heroism. 1918 Davis Nic holes Ripley of Newton Center, Massa- chusetts, enlisted in May, 1917, in the Harjes-Norton Ambulance Formation, Section 62. On September 28, 1917, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre, by Order No. 88, of the 13th Army Corps. His citation reads as follows : — "Charge d'assurer les evacuations dans un secteur tres 183 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR violemment bombarde, a ete projete hors de sa voiture par une forte commotion. Malgre une luxation complete de I'epaule, ne s'est fait soigner qu'apres avoir assure I'execu- tion de son service." Ellis Van Dee Pyl was only eighteen years old when he enlisted in the Signal Corps and was sent to France. He attended the Army Signal School at Langres, France, and, after five weeks, was ordered to the front. On one occasion near Seicheprey the Ger- mans attacked and Van Der Pyl, with four comrades, was caught in a dugout five feet below the ground and obliged to remain until the Americans counter- attacked. At Chateau- Thierry he was in charge of a signal station. While he was laying a communicating wire, a grenade burst behind him, wounding him in the wrist, but he returned on the same day to duty. The exploit which won him the Croix de Guerre was an act of conspicuous bravery. With three companions he was located in a signal station, when it was dis- covered that the telephone line was broken. He and one other followed the line out into No Man's Land to find the break. His comrade was knocked down by a piece of shrapnel, but Van Der Pyl continued on, found the separation and joined it, and then, return- ing to his friend, carried him back to the station. Dur- ing the St. Mihiel drive in September, he was cited by his superior oflEicer for notable work in securing in- formation about the enemy's plans, and was promoted to a Sergeancy. A few days afterward he was gassed while laying a wire, and was in the hospital at the time of the armistice. He was not able to rejoin his com- pany until December 10. Van Der Pyl, in addition to his other honors, has been recommended for the Dis- tinguished Service Cross. 184 MILITARY HONORS 1920 Kenneth Austin Harvey, under age for the infan- try, enlisted in the American Ambulance Service. He was awarded the Croioo de Guerre by the Command- ing Officer of the 87th Division, his citation reading as follows : — "Kenneth Austin Harvey, S. S. U. 636, a driver with pres- ence of mind and devotion worthy of the greatest eulogy, as- sured on the 12th and 13th of June, 1918, the evacuation of the advanced Poste de Secours of the 136th Regiment of In- fantry, less than 200 yards from the enemy, causing the ad- miration of all by his calmness and his disregard of danger." 185 THE ANDOVER AMBULANCE UNIT ITS HISTORY AND A RECORD OF ITS MEMBERS " Men new to war and its dreadest deeds.

T. C. The Phillips Academy Ambulance Unit of twenty- two men was organized through the personal efforts of Principal Alfred E. Stearns, and a generous re- sponse to those efforts on the part of our alumni. It enjoys the distinction of being the only preparatory school unit sent out for volunteer work in the Great War. Furthermore it was organized before our coun- try declared war on Germany. Only the lack of trans- portation prevented an earlier start. Through the kindness of our alumni in New York City a farewell reception was held at the Harvard Club. The chief speaker was Principal Stearns, and it was fitting that he should have been so, since no man had our welfare more at heart, no man had done more to get the unit started, no man had the cause of our leaving and the cause of the Allies more on his mind than the Principal. What he said to us will always be remembered. The encouragement and inspiration given in that talk went far towards carrying the unit successfully on its mission, — a mission that brought results and contributed not a little for the end which has since come about. On April 28, 1917, the unit embarked aboard the French liner, "La Touraine." The guns mounted fore and aft gave us the first thrill of the war. Fortunately or unfortunately, we had no occasion to use them. In addition to the mounted pieces we found many poilus 188 AMBULANCE UNIT returning for another tour in the trenches. Aviators, and other volunteers for ambulance work in the French armies, together with our unit, comprised the ship pas- senger list. Soon after dropping the pilot, the vessel ran into a severe snowstorm which lasted about four days, with the result that there was some disturbance in the Interior Department, and the subsequent proceedings took place in accordance with the custom in such cases. It was possible to find room in any part of the vessel except the railing. There was one consolation at that period; we had no fear of submarines. The only fear seemed to be that a submarine would not appear and settle the matter. After everybody recovered, the Andover Unit began to show what real stuff it possessed, and a chal- lenge was issued for a contest of any kind whatsoever, no exceptions being made. Two "huskies" finally offered battle in the challenge for a wrestling match, and Frank Talmage, '18, and Schuyler Lee, '18, were the representatives to uphold the honor of the school, — which they did most completely. There was no mistake about their success, although they were beaten if the size of their opponents amounted to any- thing. On high seas, therefore, Phillips Academy was holding its own ; and no more acceptances came from our fellow passengers. The unit debarked at Bordeaux, and were there about long enough to see the varied uniforms of the French troops and to learn that we had come at a time when there was a great need for help. This was further impressed upon us shortly after the unit reached the headquarters of the American Field Service. Although we had come as an Ambulance Unit, we 189 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR changed to the Motor Truck branch of the French Army, since we found that we could render service in that branch more effectively than in ambulance work. We were told of the most urgent appeal that had come from the French High Command, asking for volun- teers to man the trucks. So, after much serious thought in the matter, all but four changed to truck work, — a work which had few if any thrills, but which proved to be as important as any branch of service. The unit also enjoyed the distinction of being among the first Americans to march through Paris under arms, as each man was supplied with French rifle, helmet, and gas-mask. At the Gare de I'Est the unit was an object of admiration and wonder com- bined : admiration, because they knew we were Ameri- cans, and wonder, because they could not tell just what army we were fighting with, since our uniform resembled that of the British and our other equipment was manifestly French. The train finally got under way for Dommiers, a small village about fifteen miles southwest of Soissons. Here we received instruction on the motor convoy system in the French Army and some drill under the French Lieutenant in charge of the camp, — a man who had been wounded twice during the first battle of the Marne in 1914. We had one day's work on the targets ; f ortunatelj^ only one, for it is doubtful if the rifles issued would have lasted another dozen rounds. They were remnants of the Franco-Prussian War, and of other wars of an earlier date. The result of firing a shot was just about as bad behind the stock as in front of the muzzle. The only way you could tell was by the smoke screen at the muzzle end, which con- cealed the view in front for some time. We were not 190 AMBULANCE UNIT surprised when we heard of the success the smoke screen had at sea. These were the guns, however, or guns hke these, which helped to stop the German hordes at the beginning of the war. We were learning each day of the trials and difficulties which the gallant French soldiers endured from the day of mobilization. They took what was given them and met successfully the organized, well-equipped, and well-trained band of Huns. The training period of the unit came to an end on June 1, 1917, and it was then sent as a section in the Mallet Reserve, named from the French Captain in command. A reserve in this sense is quite different from the meaning of that word as applied, for ex- ample, to the infantry and artillery. In the French Automobile Service it was used as a reserve to be called upon for transporting material of any kind to any point for any of the armies, — a very satisfactory and efficient way of utilizing motor equipment. It was hard on the men, but that is true of any branch in war time. The camp at this period was located about midway between Soissons and Rheims, — a region which later became the scene of fierce attacks and counter-attacks. From this camp the various units would receive orders from the French headquarters to transport ammuni- tion and engineer materiel to any point between the above-mentioned places, in preparation for the big attack on the Chemin des Dames. For six months, therefore, the unit hauled night and day, and espe- cially at night when working north of the Aisne line, that region being within the range of the enemy's fire. Driving five-ton trucks loaded to capacity over roads congested by troop, artillery, and other transport 191 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR movements, with a time set for leaving the depots and a time set for arrival at some point designated from headquarters made the task far from an easy one. Then, in addition, when one had to breathe all day and all night clouds of dust such as those turned up by the French roads, it can be taken for granted that a job of this nature took something more than the mere ability to drive. It was stated at one time that the drivers could tell the approximate distance of the vehicle in front by the taste of the dust, and there must have been truth in that statement, for it was not pos- sible to see anything in certain spots at night. How- ever there was a slight consolation to be had from the fact that we were riding on vehicles as large as, if not larger than, anything to be met with on the roads. It has been stated by men in authority that the Mallet Reserve, of which the Phillips Academy Unit was a part, hauled one-half the material used during the attack on the Chemin des Dames in October, 1917, the objective being Fort Malmaison and the heights overlooking the valley of the Ailette River. The ob- jective was reached after the greatest artillery prepa- ration of the war, and the Academy boys played no insignificant part in making the attack a success. To the Principal and to those who responded to his appeal all praise is due. Nothing could have been appreciated more by our French comrades, and at a time when few Americans were ready to help. Our greeting everywhere was warm and cordial, and the thanks given to us for our volunteer work by those in command of the French armies was heartfelt and sin- cere. This mingling of French and Americans brought about a lasting friendship and understanding between the two peoples, and consequently the decision to turn 192 LiEUT.-CoL. John R.

AMBULANCE UNIT aside all previous plans formed before leaving Amer- ica was well worth while and richly rewarded. The next question that had to be solved was the part the members were to play in the American Army, when, in October, 1917, the opportunity came for all to make the decision. Everyone who was able joined the aviation branch, only two remaining in the trans- port service. Whatever branch was decided upon, the men of Andover continued to render at all times the best they had in them. Some, indeed, have given all they had in rendering this service. They have left us, but will not be forgotten. THE RECORD OF THE MEMBERS Frederick Joseph Daly, '07, Coach of the Andover football team and Assistant to the Principal, was ex- actly the man to lead the Andover Unit, and Dr. Stearns, when he was arranging for his project of sending a group of boys overseas, was particularly de- lighted when he learned that Mr. Daly was not only willing but eager to go with them. Upon him rested the responsibility of directing the unit after it left New York, and he had to help the members to make many important decisions. His qualities of leadership and his excellent judgment in moments when prompt- ness of action was required were large factors in mak- ing the unit a credit to the school which it represented. When the unit was breaking up, Mr. Daly enlisted in the American Army as a private on October 1,1917, and was shortly after, on November 24, commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps, assigned for duty with the work of motor transporta- tion. When the Motor Transport Corps was organized in the summer of 1918, Lieutenant Daly was one of 193 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR the earliest officers to be transferred to it; and, on October 1, 1918, he received a well-deserved promo- tion to be First Lieutenant, M. T. C. He returned to America in January, 1919, and was honorably dis- charged on February 3. Alexander Bern Bruce, '11, who, as we have seen, fell to death on August 17, 1918, had been an In- structor at Phillips Academy and acted as assistant to Lieutenant Frederick Joseph Daly, who was in charge of the Andover Unit. Bruce, although older than the boys in the party, had a youthful spirit and was very popular with them. Although he was natu- rally reticent and quiet, he told in his letters of the pleasure which he found in associating with these younger companions ; and he was fully their equal in audacity and courage. He wrote frequently about his adventures with them and their eagerness to see actual combat. He himself was a brilliant aviator, and he died, as he would have wished to give his life, in action. Elbridge Adams, '17, of Williamstown, Massachu- setts, did not choose camion service but remained in ambulance work, leaving Paris with Section 26 on May 28, 1917. The section proceeded to Oncement, where it formed part of the 19th Division, 10th Corps, 2d French Army. Oncement is about three miles south of Verdun on the Meuse River, and was then some three miles from the French lines. For some weeks the work was light, but, during the great French attack of September, 1917, many wounded men were carried to the base hospitals and the section was frequently bombed. 194 AMBULANCE UNIT In October the section was cited from Corps head- quarters and given a Croix de Guerre j, with a gold star. On October 23 Adams left the front, arriving in New York on November 12, 1917. David Hay At water, '17, went overseas in April, 1917, with the Andover Ambulance Unit, and, for a time, took part with the others in the camion service. Later, however, he secured his transfer into ambu- lance driving, at which he was occupied until Novem- ber, when he left for home and entered college, much against his own wishes. Some of his experiences were most interesting. On September 7, 1917, he wrote: — "On the 2d eight shells landed within thirty yards of me, one being less than twenty yards away. I was hit in the thigh with a stone, but only bruised. On the night of the 3d I ran into some gas which the sergeant at the post said was the worst he had ever been in. Hundreds of us passed out, and among them myself and another boy in the Section. It smells like new-mown hay. On the 4th and 5th I had some close calls too. On the 5th they bombarded the post very heavily, and our dugout was nearly smashed. Since then nothing has ar- rived nearer than 200 yards." Chester Arthur Bates, '19, after serving his period of enlistment in camion driving, enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve Corps, as a flying cadet. After training in Italy, he was commissioned as Ensign in the Naval Aviation branch of the service. He was honorably discharged, March, 1919, shortly after his return to America. Playford Boyle, '19, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, went to France with the Andover Ambulance Unit and worked for nearly six months in the camion ser- 195 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR vice. With Dole and Crane, also of the unit, he ap- plied for aviation almost as soon as he arrived over- seas; but it was not until October 29, 1917, that he was allowed to leave the French Army and enlist as a private in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. He was held for training for some months at St. Maixent, and later at Chateauroux and Issoudun, re- ceiving his commission as Second Lieutenant, Avia- tion Service, on May 18, 1918. Airplanes being at that time far from plentiful, he saw no active combat work. He returned to America early in 1919, and was honor- ably discharged on February 10. He reentered Phil- lips Academy for the spring term, graduating in June, 1919. Harold Robert Buckley, '17, whose glorious record as an aviator will long be memorable in the annals of the school, was the only one of the Andover Unit to win the Distinguished Service Cross. In combat, he was extraordinarily cool and skilful, and he became an ace without accident or mishap. His rank of Cap- tain was also the highest attained by any of the mem- bers of the unit. The details of his career are related on another page of this volume. Paul Howard Crane, '17, of Montclair, New Jersey, after completing his term of enlistment with the An- dover Unit, enlisted, with Boyle and Dole, in the American Army as a private in the Aviation Service of the Signal Corps. After some instruction at St. Maixent, he was ordered to Voves and from there to Issoudun, where, on May 18, 1918, he was commis- sioned as Second Lieutenant, Air Service. He was honorably discharged in February, 1919, and returned to Yale University to finish his course. 196 AMBULANCE UNIT Robert Alden Dole, '18, of Andover, went overseas with the Andover Ambulance Unit and for six months drove in the camion service, being discharged on Octo- ber 28. He made every effort to enlist in aviation, but was rejected on account of his youth; and, after driv- ing a United States Staff car in Paris for some weeks, he enlisted in the Air Service, Supply Department, later transferring to the Radio Department as an inspector. After the armistice he was taken into the Liquidation Department and made a member of the Purchasing Board for the Army of Occupation. Paul Rice Doolin, '16, joined the unit after Com- mencement and sailed from New York, June 25, 1917, arriving in Bordeaux on July 4. After two weeks of training, he was assigned to duty driving a camion, and served for three months, taking part in the battles of Chemin des Dames and the Aisne. He then en- listed as a private in the United States Army, at the same time applying for aviation. In March, 1918, he began training as a cadet aviator, at Chaumont, and in August he received his commission as Second Lieu- tenant. He had just completed his course of instruc- tion as a chasse pilot at Issoudun when the armistice was signed. He was later detailed for work on a his- tory of American Aviation in France. George Eaton Dresser, '17, did not accompany the original members of the Andover Unit abroad in April, but remained to graduate from Phillips Acad- emy in June and then sailed at once overseas, joining his friends at the front in the camion service. He later enlisted in the Tank Corps, and, on September 6, 1918, went into action. On the early morning of Sep- 197 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR tember 12 he went forward with his company, but his tank stuck in a ditch ; thereupon he and several other "dismounted" tank drivers went forward and captured a German machine gun nest, at the same time taking many prisoners. On September 25 the company moved to Vauquois Woods. On the following morning, while his tank with seven others was advancing, a shell hit the front of his machine. Dresser was killed instantly, and his comrade in the tank was seriously wounded and permanently blinded. Dresser was a resolute, manly fellow, who inspired confidence and had great powers of leadership. One of his companions writes that he was one of the "best liked and most respected men in the company." Thomas Haskins Joyce, '17, of Pasadena, Califor- nia, sailed with the Andover Ambulance Unit and spent five months in France, working in Section 12. In October, 1917, he returned to America and at once enlisted in the Air Service, being called to active duty in February, 1918, at the School of Military Aero- nautics at Berkeley, California. After graduating, he spent a month at Camp Dick, Dallas, Texas, and was then assigned to Carruthers Field at Fort Worth as Flying Instructor. On July 2, when his commission was only two weeks away, he crashed, escaping with a right arm badly crushed at the wrist. He was in the hospital or on sick leave until January 9, 1919, when he returned to Fort Worth, where he received his honorable discharge. Robert Treat Knowles, '18, of Newton Center, Massachusetts, went overseas with the Andover Am- 198 AMBULANCE UNIT bulance Unit and served six months in France as a member of S. S. U. 13, which was attached to the 4th French Army, operating in the Champagne sector and the Argonne. In October, 1917, his section was at- tached to the 2d French Army, near Verdun. While working in this vicinity, Knowles was in the hospital ten days, suffering from shell shock. He returned home in December, 1917, where, at Harvard, he com- pleted the Reserve Officers' Training Camp course as Regimental Supply Sergeant. In August, 1918, he enlisted in the Field Artillery Central Officers' Train- ing School at Camp Taylor and was graduated and commissioned a Second Lieutenant in December, 1918. Shortly after, he received his honorable dis- charge. George Lawrence, '19, of Binghamton, New York, of the Andover Ambulance Unit, chose camion work, and from May 20 until October 28, 1917, worked near the front between Soissons and Rheims. On December 17, 1917, he arrived home, having been rejected in the American and British Aviation Service on account of his youth. When he became eighteen, he enlisted on April 5, 1918, in the Royal Air Force at Toronto, Canada. He became Lance-Corporal and Corporal, and was finally commissioned as Flight Cadet on November 27, 1918. He was honorably discharged on the same day. While in training, he crashed to earth from a height of five hundred feet, but escaped with minor injuries. Schuyler Lee, '18, whose death in action on April 12, 1917, robbed the Andover Unit of the second of its members, — Jack Wright having been first, — was the 199 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR first of the number actually to leave for aviation, and, unlike the others, he enlisted in the French Army, in the LaFayette Escadrille. While Jack Wright and "Bill" Taylor were training at Tours and Issoudun, Lee was undergoing instruction at Avord ; and he was probably the earliest of the unit to go into the air, as he was also the first to take part in real combat. The story of his army career is told elsewhere in this vol- ume. Like Wright and Taylor, he was a gallant figure, who had about him the glamor of romance. It was of young men like these that Dr. Stearns was thinking when he wrote to Schuyler's father: — "As I have noted the ever growing list of old Andover boys who have so willingly given their lives for humanity and the establishment of God's eternal principles of righteousness and justice, it has seemed to me as if it could not be mere accident that has decreed that the best should be first taken, and on the first list of our thirty boys, — heroes all, — are the names of many of the strongest, the most promising, and the cleanest boys it has been my privilege as a schoolmaster to know." Charles Grant Littlefield, '19, as a member of the Andover Ambulance Unit, served in the French camion service from May until October, 1917. He was then honorably discharged from the French Army, but was rejected by the American Army on account of physical disability. He returned to his father's home in Toronto, and, on April 1, 1918, en- listed, with George Lawrence, another Andover boy, in the Canadian Flying Corps, which later became the British Royal Air Force. At the time of the signing of the armistice he was still a cadet aviator, and, together with all other members of the Royal Air Force in Canada, was honorably discharged from service. 200 AMBULANCE UNIT John McKnight Sawhill, '20, after arriving in France, went with most of the other members of the unit into camion service, but, in July, 1917, enlisted as a private in the United States Army, Aviation Corps. After training at Tours, he received, in No- vember, his brevet as a Military Pilot Aviator. He was sent for special training in combat work to the Ameri- can Flying School at Issoudun, and was there, in December, commissioned as a First Lieutenant. On January 4 he fell about six hundred feet to the ground, being fortunate to escape with a broken upper left arm. He was sent to the hospital, over which his friends, "Bill" Taylor and Harold Buckley, used to fly almost every day. Taylor, indeed, flew so low that an order was published at the school forbidding any- one to "perform acrobatics over towns or hospitals." SawhilFs arm refused to knit, and he was obliged to remain under care until November, when he was al- lowed to sail for home. After landing at Newport News, November 18, he was sent to Fort McHenry for further treatment. Sawhill was Jack Wright's roommate in the camion service, and Wright speaks of the former in his letters, published in the volume A Poet of the Air. Frank Mathias Talmage, '18, of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, after completing his period of service in camion and ambulance work, enlisted in the Ameri- can Army as a private, and was later commissioned, on February 18, 1918, as a Second Lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps. He was stationed at Brest, France. William Henky Taylor, Jr., '18, whose dramatic death in combat on September 18, 1918, has already 201 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR been described, was probably the most skilful and daring of the younger American aviators. His ex- ploits at Issoudun were remembered for months after he left there, — especially his feat of flying under low- hanging wires into a hospital court and then out over the enclosing wall, a "stunt" which few airmen would have cared to attempt. Brief though his career was, he had already made himself a name which is memorable in the history of American aviation. He was popular with everybody. Lieutenant Bruce C. Hopper describes him at Toul as one of the "Four Musketeers" : — "Big Bill Taylor was Porthos ; Jack Sawhill, the fiery en- thusiast, was d'Artagnan; I, because of my few additional years and gravity, was Athos ; and Jack Wright was Aramis." One of the youngest of the Andover Unit, he was also one of the most brilliant. Nothing could repress his ardent spirit or daunt his impetuous soul. Percy Weston Wanamaker, '17, was a member of the first Andover Ambulance Unit, and was stationed in the Champagne District in Section Sanitaire Amer- icaine No. 27. On July 21, 1917, he wrote: — "We have been very fortunate in going right to the front line posts the second day out and have done a lot of work. We are in a lively sector ; in fact the most lively of the French front. . . . The first place we were working consisted of two first line posies de secours which required five cars, and evac- uation work at the field hospital which kept five more cars busy. The French had two successful attacks while we were there and during that time there were 15 cars going steadily. . . . We were sent to the posies de secours for 48 hours at a time. One fellow tried to see how long he could sleep at one 202 AMBULANCE UNIT time during the night out there. He tried often, and 35 min- utes was his record ; so you can see we were pretty busy." Another experience reads as follows: — "I was going to a post in the third line trench. It was night as it would be impossible to go there during the day. We got out of the gas, which is thrown in shells, and were within 14 mile of the trench when two 'black marias' lit one on each side of the road 50 yards ahead. We cut through the black smoke. That wasn't so bad, but after we had reached the post and were speaking to a Frenchman about going down into the dugout, a shell exploded in the same trench and not 15 yards away. I can see the flash of the explosion yet and just won- dered which one of us would get it ; but we didn't get touched, and the Frenchman wasted no time in showing us down the stairs of an old German dugout, more than 25 feet deep. The next day we saw that the shell had split so that three pieces formed three fourths of the shell. This saved us." In November, 1917, when the Americans took over the ambulance forces, Wanamaker was rejected be- cause of poor eyesight. He returned home, arriving November 28, 1917. On May 1, 1918, however, he en- listed in the Coast Artillery Corps and sailed on Sep- tember 18 for France with the 54th Regiment. Harold Burton Whipp, '19, after completing most creditably his period of enlistment with the Andover Unit, returned to this country. He graduated with his class at Phillips Academy in June, 1919. Henry Cutler Wolfe, '20, after driving six months in the French camion service, went to Italy, on De- cember 6, 1917, as an ambulance driver with the American Red Cross. He served until July 3, 1918, and then tried to enlist in aviation, but was rejected. Returning to America, he entered Kenyon College as 203 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR a member of the Student Army Training Camp there, in which he held the rank of Sergeant. He was honor- ably discharged on December 14, 1918. Jack Moreis Weight, '17, of New York City en- tered aviation and, shortly after winning his commis- sion as First Lieutenant, was killed, January 24, 1918, by an accidental fall of his plane. In his letters, pub- lished under the title A Poet of the Air, he frequently mentions the Andover Unit. In May, shortly after his arrival in France, he went with a transport section to carry munitions up to the front. "The work is that of a man and will probably make men of us all," he wrote. Again he said : — "I am on a trip of adventure and am therefore rushed with new adventure every minute of my life. As a result 1 am be- coming more as ye ancient adventurer who rode the moonlit highways long ago with a rapier by his side and a swear-word for a bible." Later the camion service seemed to him unworthy of young men: — "I have no right to the comradeship of men who put no price to their lives or at least who have the grit to stand up for some god or other. If a man can't come over here to fight, he has no right to share with the fighters — to enjoy the beauty of a land that's waging war — to seek the sympathy of women in mourning." In July, therefore, he entered the aviation service: — "I have just taken the biggest step of my life — not through bewilderment or through morbidness, but coolly and decid- edly, obeying to a call that for me dominates the world and its many voices." 204 AMBULANCE UNIT On September 1, when he had secured his uniform as a private in the American Army, he wrote Dr. Stearns of his decision, in a letter which speaks eloquently of the affection and admiration which he and the other boys of the unit felt for the Principal : — "At first we were satisfied with automobile service, but in continuation with that same spirit we had cultivated back on Brothers' Field, we, as a majority, have joined the American Aviation with the ambition of representing the place we came from, to your complete satisfaction, for though a third of a year and three thousand miles away, we still take pride in saying, after a good piece of work, 'I guess Al would be pleased at that. . . .' Since we have been over here we have learned to sympathize with more than the 'Rah-rah' side of life, and to perfect our first comprehension of the words you endeavored to brand us with. We thank you for it — for the foreword you gave to this larger outlook; for the warning, the guiding, the inspiration we owe you. ... It would not be irrelevant to add that half the Andover Unit is now in train- ing and shall soon be the 'Commissioned Flying' Andover Unit, in the service of America, just as in former wars." In their training as flyers he and Jack Sawhill were rivals, in a friendly fashion, until the latter had the unfortunate fall which broke his arm and put him per- manently out of aviation. On January 19 Lieutenant Wright began taking spirals : — "That will be the beginning of more rapidly succeeding and more vital points of interest ; that is, more dangerous slips and drops to be caught up in true, more business-like, warlike flying." Five days later, in a practice flight, he was killed. His friend, Lieutenant Bruce C. Hopper, wrote of him: — "To one as temperamentally constructed as Jack, all this marvellous phenomenon of the sixth sense, the 'feel' of flying, 205 PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR was an endless study. He loved it all, and made others under- stand it better because of his finer perceptions. Other than his beautiful personality I think this, the appreciation of the powers of the air, was Jack's greatest contribution to the pioneers of American aviation in France. As the dreamer of real castles in the air, Jack shall long be remembered." 206 RECORDS OF PHILLIPS MEN IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY, NAVY, OR MARINES APRIL 6, 1917-NOVEMBER 11, 1918 " O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved. And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, TiU all success be nobleness. And every gain divine!" Katharine Lee Bates. MAJOR GENERAL JAMES PARKER. *T() COMMANDING 32d AND 85th DIVISIONS, U.S.A. JAMES PARKER, '70 MAJOR GENERAL, U. S. A. James Parker, after graduating from Phillips Acad- emy in the class of 1870, went to Rutgers and to West Point, from which he was commissioned in 1876, as a Second Lieutenant in the 4th Cavalry. He served with distinction in several Indian campaigns, and was later in Cuba and the Philippines. For valor displayed in the Spanish War he was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor. During the Mexican trouble in 1916, he was stationed on the Rio Grande, and, when Gen- eral Pershing was sent to France as commander of the American Expeditionary Forces, it was Brigadier General Parker who succeeded him as head of the Southern Department. On August 22, 1917, he re- ceived his commission as Major General, and was assigned as Commanding General of the 32d Division. He saw active service in France in October near Peronne and Armentieres and at the battle of Mal- maison, October 23-30. In December he was trans- ferred to the 85th Division, and, on February 20, 1918, having reached the age of statutory retirement, retired to private life. General Parker, who was a veteran cavalryman, was known along the Mexican border as "Galloping Jim." No officer in the United States Army has had a more distinguished record as a trainer of troops, and his work in organizing and preparing the men for the National Army has been of the highest order. 209 MAJOR GENERAL HENRY G. SHARPE, '76 COMMANDING GENERAL, SOUTHEASTERN DEPARTMENT, U. S. A. HENRY GRANVILLE SHARPE, '76 MAJOR GENERAL, U. S. A. Henry Granville Sharpe, after spending two years at Phillips Academy in 1873-75, went to Rutgers and West Point, graduating from the latter institution in 1880. Appointed a Captain in the Subsistence Department by President Arthur, he rose rapidly through the various ranks until he became Brigadier General. Several important books of his on problems of army supply gave him prestige, and in 1912, when the present Quartermaster Corps was established. General Sharpe was made Acting Quartermaster General. He received his full appointment to this office in 1916. With the entrance of the United Sta'tes into the Great War, General Sharpe's experience became ex- ceedingly valuable. The establishment of the Quarter- master Training Camp at Camp Johnston, Jackson- ville, Florida, was due mainly to his foresight, and the plans for its operation were laid down by him. In the spring of 1918, General Sharpe was made a member of the War Council, and a month or two later he was given an appointment as Major General in the line of the army. It was on this occasion that President Wil- son wrote him, "You may be sure that it gave me a great deal of pleasure to have an opportunity to show my confidence in you by conferring the promotion which you had earned." General Sharpe was then as- signed as Commanding General of the Southeastern Department, a position which he still holds. General Sharpe is a diligent student and a tireless worker, capable of handling intricate problems with- out friction or delay. He is popular both with soldiers and civilians, and has an enviable record of achieve- ment. 211 BRIGADIER GENERAL MARLBOROUGH CHURCHILL. '96 DIRECTOR, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE DIVISION OFFICER OF THE LEGION OF HONOR MARLBOROUGH CHURCHILL, '96 BRIGADIER GENERAL, U. S. A. Marlborough Churchill of Andover, son of Pro- fessor John W. Churchill, after graduating from Harvard, was commissioned, on July 16, 1901, as Second Lieutenant in the Artillery Corps, and was advanced successively to be First Lieutenant, Cap- tain, and Major in the regular establishment. In Jan- uary, 1916, he was sent abroad as American Military Observer with the French armies, and served until June, 1917, when he was transferred to the General Staff, American Expeditionary Forces. His promo- tion to be Lieutenant- Colonel in the iSTational Army came on August 5, 1917. From February to May^ 1918, he was Acting Chief of Staff for the 1st American Army, but on June 12 was promoted to be Colonel and assigned as Chief, Military Intelligence Branch, General Staff. In August he was returned to America as Director, Military Intelligence Division, General Staff, War Department, and advanced to the rank of Brigadier General, United States Army. On December 14 he was sent to France on special duty with the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, but was recalled in April, 1919, to duty in Washing- ton. He has been decorated as an Officer of the French Legion of Honor, as a Commander of the Crown of Italy, and as a Commander of the Belgian Order of Leopold. General Churchill's services as Director of the Mili- tary Intelligence Division have won him commenda- tion from the highest authorities, and the criticism which has been directed at some departments of gov- ernmental administration has always passed him by. No officer in Washington has shown himself to be more experienced, more reliable, or more efficient. 213 ROLL OF HONOR The number of Andover men in service having proved to be con- siderably greater than was originally thought, it has been necessary to shorten the space that could be devoted to each individual soldier, sailor, or marine. Accordingly certain abbreviations in com,mon use have been freely employed, and a list of them is here presented for ready reference. ABBREVIATIONS Adjutant Adjt.

M. C. A. and Red Cross work, the grand total is 2222. Of the total number in active military, naval, or marine service, the proportion of officers and enlisted men is as follows : — Officers of Army and Marines Officers of Navy 1030 241 1271 392 CONCLUSION Enlisted Men of Army and Marines . . 682 Enlisted Men of Navy 213 895 The proportion of officers to the whole number of men in service is therefore about 58.6 per cent, an extraordinarily high percentage when it is remem- bered how many Phillips Academy men have been enrolled as privates in branches of the Student Army Training Corps. A study of the 1030 men who won commissions in the Army and Marines shows them divided as follows : — Major General 2 Brigadier-General 1 Colonel 8 Lieutenant-Colonel 21 Major 67 Captain 255 First Lieutenant 301 Second Lieutenant 375 Total 1030 The 241 officers of the Navy are divided as follows : — Commander Lieutenant-Commander Lieutenant, Senior Grade Lieutenant, Junior Grade Ensign 1 3 27 49 161 Total 241 It remains only to state the obvious fact, — that the list as presented is not complete. Many records have been sent in without names attached, and without any 393 PHILLIPS ACADEMY LST THE WAR clue to the sender. In other cases no response has been made to repeated appeals for information. Pos- sibly ten years from now a list can be prepared which will contain the name of every man who was at any time during the Great War in the service of the United States or her Allies ; but even then it is prob- able that men will be overlooked. The present record has the advantage of timeliness; and, with all its im- perfections on its head, it is a convincing proof of the spirit with which an American school responded to the call of the nation in time of danger. n94> ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF MEN SPECIALLY MENTIONED OR WHOSE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE REPRODUCED Abbot, J.
