These institutions were prepared; their curricula that had served the needs of peace for a half a century were readily adapted to the demand of war; their technical courses not only reinforced the military efforts, but aided directly in the vast effort of mobilizing the natural resources of the State and nation. In short, the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges have made good. In presenting this volume, the Mississippi A. and M. College, whose life and service cover the period beginning shortly after the ending of the war for Liberty and Union in the United States and extending to the triumphant ending of the war for Liberty and Democracy in the world, desires to place before its graduates, former students, and friends a brief summary of its share in the World War, with notes on the Civil War and the Spanish- American War. In the first of the wars only Americans were engaged; in the last, though all the great nations of the world were belligerents, America proved in the end the decisive factor. With the new age the College will be confronted with many new opportunities and duties. In preparing for the future this institution aims at still higher and quicker intellectual life, still better and more inspiring teaching, the enlargement of science and knowledge, and the advancement of human civilization. The A. and M. College has already been mustered in for the big task of reconstruction, and backed by a record of service for forty years, it confidently appeals to the generous citizens of the State of Mississippi to provide it with the means of fulfilling its purpose. J. Wendell Bailey, Statistical Secretary and Editor of the War Bulletin. [3] The Flag Goes By Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky: Hats off! The flag is passing by! Blue and crimson and white it shines, Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines. Hats off! The colors before us fly; But more than the flag is passing by. Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great, Fought to make and to save the State; Weary marches and sinking ships; Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong man's swift increase; Equal justice, right and law, Stately honor and reverend awe; Sign of a nation, great and strong To ward her people from foreign wrong: Pride and glory and honor — all, Live in the colors to stand or fall. Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums; And loyal hearts are beating high: Hats off! The flag is passing by! — Henry Holcomb Bennett. [41 The Civil War 1861-1865 aT the outbreak of hostilities between the North and South, in the Spring of 1861, there was no Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, nor was there any such institution at the close of the war. There were, however, a number of veterans of this war who were destined to play an important part in the organization and development of this unborn educational institution. On February 28, 1878, just thirteen years after the close of this war, the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was chartered, and on October 6, 1 880, opened its doors to the white youth of the State. From that day to this, the college has been going forward by leaps and bounds. This rapid progress is due largely to the efforts exerted by the members of the college staff who served during the Civil War. The educational plans and policies of these men are being pursued today throughout the State, yea, the United States of America, and their influence will be felt for generations yet to come. The roll of Confederate Veterans who have been connected with, and active in the advancement of, the Mississippi A. and M. College is as follows: Lieutenant-General Stephen D. Lee, first President of the College, 1880-1899. Colonel John M. Stone, Second President of the College, 1899-1900; Ex-Officio President of the Board of Trustees, 1878-1882; 1890-1896.

Mississippi, strewed flowers alike on the graves of the Confederate and National soldiers. Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done; In the storm of the years that are fading, No braver battle was won ; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the blossoms, the Blue, Under the garlands, the Gray. No more shall the war-cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dead ! Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray. — Francis Miles Finch. [7] The Spanish-American War 1898 #I%HEN the United States of America declared war upon Spain, Vix April 21, 1 898, the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was in its eighteenth year of active service. The presence of yellow fever in the State had reduced the attendance to 296 students. The United States Army Officer detailed for duty here was relieved and ordered to his command; and the two pieces of artillery furnished by the War Department for artillery drill and practice were withdrawn. The importance of the Military Department of the College is made prominent and emphasized by the fact that it contributed a large number of field and other commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers and privates, for the two volunteer regiments furnished by Mississippi for service in the Spanish-American War. Of the officers and enlisted men who served in the war, the following were at one time students at the Mississippi A. and M. College: Lieutenant Colonel Herbert O. Williams. Major Surgeon Dr. R. L. Turner. Major Surgeon Dr. M. W. Hamilton. Major G. L. Donald. Major W. H. Gibbs. Major S. C. Hoskins. Major D. Price Porter. Captain J. S. Butler. Captain E. N. Coffey. Captain J. A. Glover.

[9] THE WORLD WAR r oreword ON the second day of April, 191 7, when the President of the United States declared this nation to be in a state of war with the Imperial Government of Germany, the educational institutions of the country immediately joined hands with the other national institutions in offering themselves to our government. The State and Federal offices were flooded with tenders of university and college men and equipment. Realizing that the demands of the war would profoundly influence the educational interest of our country, as well as the social and industrial life, America's institutions of learning immediately placed themselves at the disposal of the National Government in their anxious desire to render the greatest possible service in the defense of the country. The Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College lost no time in perfecting its organization for war. In fact the seriousness of the situation was well understood several days before the declaration of war, and on March 31, 1917, the faculty adopted resolutions which, with the approval and under the direction of the Board of Trustees, authorized President Smith to address a communication to Governor Theodore G. Bilbo. Abstracts from this letter expressing the sentiment of the faculty and student body are quoted, viz. : "In view of the crisis with which our nation is confronted, the faculty and the senior class of the Mississippi Agricultural and Me- chanical College beg to explain their desire to cooperate with you, the President, and the Congress to the end that the best solution of these serious problems may be found. "The faculty desire to place the laboratories and scientific equip- ment of the institution at the service of the State and nation. The senior class, cadet officers, and military staff offer their services, if they should be needed.'' The tender of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was forwarded through the Governor's Office to Secretary Newton D. Baker, who, speaking for the War Department, made the following statement: "It is quite certain that the Government will need for mobilization, etc., a number of buildings and the use of land suitable for drilling; likewise, there will be great need for laboratories such as those of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College.'' Accordingly, when the immediate need for such facilities arose, the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was transformed into [12] a military training camp. The personnel of the College staff, the laboratories and equipment were placed at the disposal of the War Department. In every way the tender of services on the part of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was made in good faith. She did her part to preserve freedom from destruction and to make possible the perpetuity of liberty. Throughout the war she tried in every way. and with all her resources, to aid in bringing victory to the cause of democracy. Now that victory is ours, and its history has been written in every language known to man, we feel confident that our commonwealth has every reason to be proud of the devotion and service to the cause rendered by her State Agricultural and Mechanical College. 13] The Mississippi A. and M. College and The World War il%HEN the war cloud was drawn over the United States of America, VXx on tne second day of April, 1917, and we had entered into the most destructive war ever known to mankind, one of the foremost thoughts upon the American mind was, what place will the universities and colleges of the country take in the crisis? Would their entire student bodies enlist, or would they, the students, remain in college? Would the work of the institution stop, or would they be converted into great war machines and tendered to the Federal Government? By nightfall on the day that the President of the United States of America declared this nation to be in a state of war with the Imperial Government of Germany, the Mississippi A. and M. College had begun peacefully and quietly to remould its work to suit the needs of the nation. This accomplishment was due in part to the fact that the A. and M. College has gradually and consciously developed an efficiency in its many departments that is truly American throughout. Having been a military institution since its inception, the College naturally received its first call from that end. Almost to a man the students and faculty of the College qualified and enlisted in govern- ment service. Most of them entered military service, some returned to the farm where they shouldered the hoe and rake, and others were in civilian occupations directly related to the military department. 14] Our World War Heroes ^^^HROUGH the establishment of a Bureau of War Records the ^^^ A. and M. College has availed herself of the opportunity to compile in an authentic manner the interesting history that her sons and daughters have made during the recent war. Their services were offered and accepted by our government, to fight "that the world may be made safe for democracy." But, alas, the war has taken its inevitable toll of the lives of these young men. The sympathy of their teachers and friends and all the members of the College brotherhood goes out to the families who mourn the loss of these devoted and patriotic young men. There is, however, some consolation in recalling that they have paid the price, dying for their country — our country — and for the noblest cause for which men ever fought. While the College mourns for her departed sons, it is also proud of them. Not only have they reflected honor upon their Alma Mater, but their heroism ennobles her. The alumni, former students, and friends of the College have already expressed their hope that the name of every A. and M. man who lost his life in this great world war will be perpetuated for all time by some suitable memorial on the campus. 15] How Sleep the Brave How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mold, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there! — William Collins.

College, met death in action in the Argonne Forest Drive, October 25, 1918. Mr. Abbott, spent most of his life in Chickasaw. In this county he attended the public schools, graduating in 1914 from the County Agricultural High School. In this county he taught a public school for the session of 1914-15, and from this county he entered A. and M. College in 1915. He was privileged to receive only one year of college training, but during this comparatively brief period he made a deep impression on all who knew him. The seriousness of his purpose, the determination to use wisely his opportunities, the generous spirit of friendship he always manifested, the purity of his life, the ex- cellent influence he exerted over his fellow students — these were some of the prominent traits his college mates will always remember. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Abbott, of Vardaman, five sisters, and one brother are left to mourn his loss. With these sur- viving relatives, the A. and M. College regrets the cutting short of a life that promised great usefulness; but with them, too, the College shares the pride of claiming the heritage of his stainless life and of his heroic death. [20] WILLIAM H. ABELE William H. Abele, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Abele, was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 8, 1891. He graduated from the First Officers' Training Camp at Fort Benjamin Harri- son, Indiana, with the rank of Second Lieutenant. His efficient work as an officer was soon rewarded by a promotion to First Lieutenant. In July, 1918, when the people of the world were looking with hope toward the battlefields of Europe, Lieutenant Abele went to France. Then followed the days of monotonous training behind the lines. Finally the day of action came. Lieutenant Abele did not falter nor fail; he led his men gallantly in the midst of the turmoil. This brave young officer fell while fighting nobly near the sacred Verdun. On October 27, less than a month before the armistice was signed, Lieutenant Abele died as a result of his wounds. The Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College is proud to claim this hero as one of her sons. "Bill" Abele entered this institution in 1909 and worked in the engineering school until 1913. His genial good humor and hearty good-fellowship made him popular with his fellow students. The teachers of the College liked and respected Abele as a student. The influence of his manly sacrifice will reach down through the years and touch many young men who will come to this school. Our college is better for having known this young man. Lieutenant Abele is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Katherine Biehl, of Toledo, Ohio, his father, mother, four brothers, and one sister. [21] ELIOT VALENTINE AMES Eliot Valentine Ames was born near Macon, Mississippi, on December 26, 1885, and died near Recey-sur-Ource, France, on December 25, 1918. Mr. Ames, the son of J. Fisher and Anna Yeates Ames, was connected with some of the most prominent families of Eastern Mississippi. After completing his elementary education in the schools of Noxubee, Mr. Ames, or "Val," as he was affectionately known, entered A. and M. College. He remained in this institution, however, only one year. His record was good and his attachment for the College was great. Having made up his mind to follow a business career, he availed himself of an opportunity to take work with the Merchants and Farmers Bank of Macon. Later he went to the American National Bank of Oklahoma City; and still later he followed his profession in California, from which state he enlisted in the Medical Corps in 1917. In July, 1918, Mr. Ames arrived in France as a member of the medical unit of the 54th Infantry, in which capacity he served faithfully and efficiently until the time of his death. Besides his father, Mr. Ames is survived by three sisters, two brothers, and one little daughter only nine years of age. Mr. Ames was one of Noxubee's most popular sons. He was not only attractive in personality, but he was entirely unselfish. One of the most prominent traits of his character was his genuine devotion to his friends, whom he counted by the score. Bright in mental powers, sociable and friendly in disposition, gentle in spirit, and devoted to all who had claims on him, Mr. Ames will be cherished in memory by a great circle of his fellow countrymen both in the army and in the civil walks of life. [22) HENRY GUION ARMSTRONG Henry Guion Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Armstrong, was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 2, 1893. His youth and early school days were spent in Memphis, where he pre- pared for college at the Memphis Uni- versity School. In the fall of 1910, he entered upon a course in engineering, as sophomore in the Mississippi A. and M. College. When the American forces went to the Mexican border, under command of General Pershing, Guion and his brother, Estes, served with the Chickasaw Guards In the spring of 1917, Guion entered the aviation corps and began his training at the aviation school at the Driving Park, in Memphis. He was transferred to Chicago and, later, to Rantoul, Illinois. From the latter place he went to Kelly Field, Texas, and then, in October, he embarked for France, stopping for only a brief period at Mineola, Long Island. On the western front, he played a man's part, taking his chances for months above the enemy lines. By his skill and daring, at least three Hun airplane pilots went whirling to their death. His commander, Captain Charles J. Biddle, said of him: "Lieutenant Armstrong was one of my best flight commanders and there was no better man in the squadron. He was always eager and anxious to fly, possessing a cool head and sound judgment, which are such valuable qualities to a good pilot. Lieutenant Armstrong was not only a brave soldier — he was always a thorough gentleman and a true friend." On the morning of October 4, Lieutenant Armstrong was leading a patrol and, when north of Montfaucon, near Nantillois, and just over the line of battle, the patrol sighted a formation of six enemy planes below them. Lieutenant Armstrong dived to attack, closely followed by the other pilots. Lieutenant Stovall was about fifty yards to his right and behind him. Just as Lieutenant Armstrong was about to open fire, Lieutenant Stovall saw his machine suddenly explode and fall to the ground. He had evidently flown into the trajectory of one of our own big shells. Dying upon the field of honor and glory, just at the time when promotion to Captaincy awaited him, he yet lived to see the deadlock on the western front broken, to see the Americans drive back the Huns, to help sound the death knell of Prussian autocracy. Besides his father and brother, Lieutenant Armstrong is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Elizabeth Edwards, of Memphis, Tennessee. [231 HENRY HARLOW BANKS Henry Harlow Banks was born in Forest, Mississippi, on July 19, 1892. He received his early education in the schools of that town. In September, 1914, he entered the sophomore class in the school of industrial education at the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. He remained at this institution, however, only one year. His record was good and his attachment for the College was great. He was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Shortly after the declaration of war, Harry, as he was familiarly known to his friends, entered the army, becoming attached to Company C, 114th F. S. B. Arriving overseas he was promoted to Corporal, and was con- sidered an excellent soldier, liked by both officers and enlisted men. In September, 1918, Mr. Banks had an attack of appendicitis which called for an immediate operation. He was carried to Base Hospital 26, at Saint Aignen, France. After a seemingly successful operation, gangrene set in, causing complications which claimed his promising young life during the first week of October, 1918. The untimely death of Henry Harlow Banks is mourned by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Banks, of Forest, Mississippi, five sisters, and one brother. [24] THOMAS RAYSOR BELL Thomas Raysor Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry G. Bell, was born in Starkville, Mississippi, on March 29, 1896. His early education was received in the public school of Starkville. At the age of nineteen he entered the A. and M. College, choosing the agricultural course. After ' completing the sophomore year, T. R. joined a company of militia which was organized at Aberdeen, Mississippi, July, 1917. In August, 1917, he was called to entrain with his company to Camp ^t§» J a ckson, Jackson, Mississippi. While at " Vi * i Camp Jackson, making preparation for military service, he met his untimely death in a railroad accident, January 26, 1918. He was given a military funeral and buried in the cemetery at Starkville. "T. R.V childhood and boyhood association with many of his company obtained for him love and confidence, and it was but natural that he should have been a leader and trusted friend among them. His soldierly bearing and earnestness brought him promotion to a corporalship, which rank he held while in the service. His officers spoke very highly of his work and ability. His parents, two brothers, and one sister are left to mourn his loss. The A. and M. College with these surviving relatives regrets the cutting short of a life that was just beginning to reach the stage of usefulness. [251 HENRY AUGUSTUS BEST Henry Augustus Best was born in Woodville, Mississippi, May 27, 1895. His early educational training was re- ceived in the graded school of that town. At the age of seventeen he entered Cham- berlain Hunt Academy, at Port Gibson, which is a famous institution in that part of the State. For three years he was a stu- dent in this academy. Being interested in ■ rural life, he spent the sessions 1915-1916, ^^■il Jm I anC * ' 9 '6-l9l7 at tne Mississippi A. and MHL ^t J M. College, during which time he took Wm JH I the two-year course in agriculture. After the United States went to war with Germany, he entered the service, and in order better to prepare himself to cope with the Huns, he went to the Mississippi A. and M. College to take special vocational work which was being given there. He was at the A. and M. College doing this special work from May 16, 1918, till July 1 , of the same year, after which time he was transferred to another post and soon sent overseas. On the 31st of July, 1918, he arrived in France, and was soon sent to the front for active service. In less than two months from the day that he reached France he was killed in action, September 30, 1918. While the events connected with his death are but little known as yet, it is the testimony of those who knew him most intimately that Henry Augustus Best did his duty faithfully and well and that he died the death of a genuine hero. He was a member of Company B, 58th Infantry, 4th Division, A. S. N. 2, 915, 399. [26] LDGAR VILAS BRUNSON Edgar Vilas Brunson was the son of 4jj I Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Brunson. He was ,^$t- I born at Meridian, Mississippi, January gP 19, 1894. He spent his childhood and ' boyhood days in Meridian. He entered the public school there at the age of seven, and after completing the tenth grade of the Meridian High School, he took a business course, acquiring a knowledge of bookkeeping and stenog- raphy. His first position was stenog- rapher in the office of the Secretary of the A. and M. College. Besides working during the day Vilas successfully attended night classes in order that he might meet the entrance requirements of the College. After working one session in the office of the Secretary he resigned his position and entered the freshman class in the school of agriculture in September, 1912. He remained in college only one season, but during that time he won many friends and was popular, as was evidenced by his becoming a member of college social societies, and also the Lee Guards. Retiring from college, Vilas was associated with the Meridian Light and Railway Company, and soon became one of their most trusted employees. His next position was with the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, at Winston-Salem, North Carolina; he was a member of their clerical force. Being capable and trustworthy, he was selected by his employers to return to Mississippi and care for their interests. This was his last connection with the commercial world. September 19, 1918, found Vilas again at the A. and M. College, not in his former capacity, however, but as a volunteer in the S. A. T. C, attempting to prepare himself to serve his country wherever needed. His untimely death, due to pneumonia, prevented his leaving his studies at A. and M. to attend an Officers' Training Camp, together with six others, who had been nominated for immediate training. He was a consistent member of the 15th Avenue Baptist Church. Meridian, Mississippi, having been identified with the church a number of years. Besides a host of devoted friends Mr. Brunson leaves his father and mother to mourn his loss. [27] ROBERT MATHEW CAMPBELL Among those whose memory is being honored in this Memorial Volume, for the services and sacrifices they made in behalf of their country, none can deserve greater honor than Robert Mathew Campbell, ex-'l 1 , of Hesterville, Mississippi. It is a joy and an honor to A. and M. to know that from its walls have gone men whose patriotism and devotion to high ideals of fair play and democracy have led them to seek some way by which to serve the nation after having been refused the privi- lege of actual military service. Robert Campbell 'was from early childhood ren- dered physically incapable of service in the army. This fact weighed upon him more than many people knew, and he often lamented the fact that he could not have a full share in the great conflict. Determined not to let his infirmities rob him of all the glory, he gave freely of his time and energy to local war work, serving in various capacities until in May, 1918, he enlisted in the Y. M. C. A. for overseas service. After a brief training he was sent to France, where he became actively affiliated with the ser- vice, putting as much joy in the life of the soldiers as was possible under the circumstances. He soon grew in popularity as a secretary with both his fellow workers and the boys who visited the hut. After about one month of service he contracted influenza and pneumonia, and died Sep- tember 15, 1918. He was buried in France by the side of many other Americans who were in the heart no less soldier than he. Robert was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Campbell, of Hesterville, Mississippi. He was born and reared at this place, attending common and high school there until 1908, when he entered A. and M. Here he spent two years, but at the close of his sophomore year he left A. and M. for private occupation. As a student he made many friends who will join in honoring his memory. In 1915 he entered the Law School at the University of Mississippi, graduating there in 1917 with a splendid record as a student and as a man. He began the practice of law at Kosciusko, near his home, and was beginning a promising career when he entered in the Y. M. C A. service. Such is the record of Robert M. Campbell, in whose honor, along with many more, the A. and M. College presents this memorial volume. [28] EDGAR EUGENE CHAPMAN, JR. Edgar Eugene Chapman, Jr., was born at Harriston, Jefferson County, Mississippi, August 16, 1890. His early childhood was spent in Natchez and Jackson. Upon moving to Jackson he entered the public school, where he re- mained until 1907, when he entered the freshman class in agriculture at the A. and M. College. He remained only one year at A. and M., but became very popular with his fellow students and instructors. He was an active member of the George Rifles. After leaving A. and M. Mr. Chap- man became interested in electricity and telegraphy, and when war was declared he immediately enlisted in the army, being assigned to the Signal Corps of the Aviation Division. At Park Field, Tennessee, he was promoted to Master Signal Electrician and was an instructor in that branch when detailed for similar duty at Camp Shelby, Mis- sissippi. It was in compliance with orders to report to Camp Shelby "to demonstrate and give instruction in wireless operation," that he encountered the accident that cost him his life. Mr. Chapman, with Lieutenant Keller, left Park Field, in an airplane, at 5 A. M. on the morning of June 17, 1918. After stopping at Clarksdale a few minutes to take on gasoline, they resumed the trip. About eight miles out the plane had a "tail spin," struck a tree and crashed to pieces, killing both Mr. Chapman and the other occupant of the machine. The plantation where Mr. Chapman was killed was known as "Eagle Nest," formerly owned by Governor Alcorn. Mr. Chapman is survived by his parents, Mrs. May M. Chapman, and E. E. Chapman, Sr., who reside in Jackson, Mississippi, and one sister, Mrs. J. V. Wright, of Tallulah, Louisiana. [29] JAMES NOVIS CHRISTIAN James Novis Christian, son of Mr, and Mrs. J. H. Christian, of Tupelo, Mississippi, was born September 4, 1896, near Tupelo. His youthful schooling was had in the Tupelo Public Schools, where also he did his high school work. He was of athletic turn, taking an active interest in baseball and football. He played on the teams of the Tupelo High School. During the year 1916-17 he was a freshman in agriculture at the Mississippi A. and M. College. After the outbreak of the war, he entered the navy. For five months he served in the navy as 3d-class fireman, in the Naval Reserve Force, when he was stricken by influenza. He died on October 18, 1918, at Pensacola, Florida, of pneumonia. His untimely death is mourned by his father, mother, four sisters, and three brothers. 130] GEORGE GAYDEN CHRISTMAS At Beulah, Mississippi, on December 25, 1898, the subject of this sketch was born. When he was ten months old his mother died. This is an awful misfortune to befall any boy, but George was very fortunate in having a good uncle and aunt, who were glad to give him as much as was possible of the love and care that he would have gotten from his mother. After his mother's death he lived with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Will Shelly, of Rosedale, Mississippi, until his father married a second time. He grew up to be a splendid boy and young man. He was clean, wholehearted, optimistic, admired by all his acquaintances, honored and loved by his relatives. Gratitude was one of the crowning virtues of this young man. Especially did he feel grateful for the great oppor- tunity of living in a land of freedom such as his country offered. No man in the United States could more willingly raise his strong arms in defense of these blessings than George. When the war was declared with Germany his soul was soon aflame with patriotism, and not waiting to be drafted, he immediately volun- teered his services. After the proper preliminary training in the United States, he was sent overseas for active service. This must have been pleasing to him, for life in a training camp was altogether too tame for him while such big things were happening in Europe. While doing his bit for Democracy somewhere in France, one day he received a wound from which he died. The particulars as to how he received the wound are unknown to the writer, but judging from his record that we are familiar with, it is but just to conclude that he was stricken while playing the part of a real hero, standing up to the guns as long as he had strength to do so. [31] JOHN WHEATLEY COWAN John Wheatley Cowan was the son of Harry D. and Mary I. Cowan; was born at Grand Rapids, Michigan, March 31, 1 898 ; removed with his parents to Springfield, Illinois, 1911; graduated from the Hay School at Springfield in 1912; removed with his parents to Chicago, Illi- nois, in 191 1 ; attended Hyde Park School, graduating in 1916; completed freshman year at Agricultural and Mechanical College, Mississippi, in 191 7. As a student young Cowan had no superiors. His military experience was : Enlisted in the Illinois National Guard, First Field Artillery, and served on the Mexican Border in 1916; was promoted to Corporal and then to Sergeant, and honorably discharged November, 1916, when he at once entered college. Upon the declaration of war against Germany, he at once left college, went to Chicago and re-enlisted in the First Illinois Field Artillery, as a private, was promoted to Corporal, then to Sergeant, and in August, 1917, was commissioned Lieutenant. His regiment was mustered into United States service as the 149th Field Artillery, 42d ("Rainbow") Division. It mobilized at Fort Sheridan, completed training at Camp Mineola, Long Island, and went "over there" in October, 1917. The regiment was on the Lorraine front until transferred to the Champagne sector in June, 1918. While on duty as a "liaison officer" of his regiment in one of the battles near Rheims, France, on July 17, 1918, Lieutenant Cowan was instantly killed by a direct shell while in the front line trenches. But little past twenty years of age when he met a soldier's death, he surely had experienced an eventful life in which he made good every duty he was called upon to perform. His high standing among the officers and men of his regiment, as set out in numerous letters to his parents, is but partly expressed in the following excerpt from the letter of Colonel Reilly, of the 149th: "I had a real affection for him; he was such an attractive, clean- looking boy. Knowing him only served to confirm my first favorable impression, which every one who came in contact with him had. He was a brave, efficient officer, admired by all who came in contact with him. I can only hope that this, and the fact that he died in battle in the cause of his country, will tend to lessen your grief." [32J WILSON T. DONALDSON Wilson T. Donaldson, Jr., was born in Owenton, Kentucky, on November 12, 1894. At the close of his work in the graded schools, he entered Transylvania College, at Lexington, Kentucky. There he pursued special studies for a period of one and one-half years. Interested in agriculture, he came to Mississippi Agri- cultural and Mechanical College, from which he graduated in June, 1915. During his college days he showed himself an excellent student and his work brought favorable notice from his instructors. He did special work in chemistry and for some time served as fellow in the department of botany. Each of his teachers bears witness to his mental grasp, his sincerity of purpose, and his singular beauty of character. On May 13, 1916, he was appointed inspector for the State Plant Board of Florida and agent of the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. In this capacity he rendered constant, efficient, and faithful service in connection with the eradica- tion of citrus canker in Florida. Soon after war was declared against Germany, he felt the call to the colors. He resigned his work and entered the School of Military Aeronautics, at Austin, Texas. After completing the course there with honors, he entered enthusiastically upon his training in flying at Kelly Field, No. 2, at San Antonio. He had been doing solo flying for about one month when, on April 17, 1918, while on a cross country flight, he fell with his plane, and later died on April 20, having remained unconscious from the time of the accident until his death. With military honors he was laid to rest on April 24, at Aberdeen, Mississippi. His death occurred just a few days before he was to receive his commission. At Kelly Field, Mr. Donaldson was considered by his superior officer a most promising pupil. His flying instructor said: "I can safely say he was a most apt student. To know him was to admire him." He was a young man of high ideals and quickly earned the confidence and esteem of all those privileged to associate with him. As one friend put it: "I feel a really true and noble man has gone away just as he was prepared to stay." His name will long be cherished and lovingly held in memory as one who had freely placed his all upon the altar of liberty. MERRITT BOOTH DURHAM Merritt Booth Durham died of wounds received on July 11, 1918, in battle near Berzy-le-Sec, France. The date of his death is not known. He was reported as missing in action on July 21, 1918, but in a private letter from a family connection then in France it was learned that he was in a hospital near Berzy-le-Sec on August 27. He is sup- posed to be buried just east of Berzy, according to information furnished by one of his officers. He received his first wound on May 28, while trying to make a badly wounded comrade more comfortable, but was again on duty on July 10, the date when he wrote his last letter to any of his relatives. His second wound came the following day, and it is supposed by his family that he died from this wound. He was born in Blue Mountain, Mississippi, on March 6, 1893- He attended the primary department of Blue Mountain College and the Blue Mountain Public School in his early life. In September, 191 1, he entered the A. and M. College, taking the four-year course in agriculture. He devoted all his spare time to work around the campus, the dairy barn, and farm to help pay his expenses. He completed the sophomore year. While he was at A. and M., "M. B.," as he was familiarly called by his friends, took an active part in religious activities and it was through his influence that many A. and M. students were directed into lives of service for our Master. Mr. Durham was one of Tippah's most popular sons and he had endeared himself to everyone who had had the opportunity to know him. Dying upon the field of honor and glory, just as the tide of battle was beginning to favor the Allies, Mr. Durham lived to help sound the first death knell to Prussian autocracy. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Durham, of Blue Mountain, Mr. Durham is survived by four brothers and two sisters. [34] MACK GOWAN DYESS Mack Gowan Dyess, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Dyess, was born on March 25, 1890. His youthful days were spent in Laurel, Mississippi, to which place his parents had moved. He attended the public schools of Laurel, in preparation for college. His freshman work was done in the Industrial College of Louisi- ana. In the fall of 1914, M. G. entered the sophomore class in mechanical engineer- ing at Mississippi A. and M. College. Here he continued with credit to himself until the United States was drawn into the war in 1917. M. G. was one of the most popular young men in college during these years. He was an active member of several student organizations and had a lively interest in every phase of college ac- tivities. In May, 1918, he withdrew from college to enter an Officers' Training Camp. He was transferred to Camp Taylor, Kentucky, where he re- ceived a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery, U. S. A. He was commissioned on October 15, 1918, and just one week later, he died from an attack of influenza, at the home of his parents, at Laurel, Mississippi. Besides his parents, three brothers and four sisters, a host of college friends were left to mourn the loss of this talented young man. 135] WHITTEN JASPER EAST Mr. East was born in Senatobia, Mississippi, on June 29, 1893. He re- ceived his early education in the schools of that town, being graduated from high school there in 1907. In the fall of 1908 he entered the A. and M. College and was a student of that institution during the session of 1908- 1909, and that of 1910-191 1 until March. He then received an appointment to the Military Academy at West Point, New York. In August, 1911, he entered this famous war college, from which he was graduated in June, 1915. After his graduation from West Point he was assigned to the 16th Infantry, which was stationed at El Paso, Texas, very soon after he joined it. In March, 1916, he went into Mexico with the American Expeditionary Forces. His conduct while in Mexico earned for him the promotion to First Lieutenant, which he received in July, 1916. When it was evident that war between the United States and Germany was inevitable, Mr. East asked for a transfer to the Signal Corps and Aviation Service, for he wished to get into that branch of the service where he could do most for his country. He accordingly obtained his transfer in September, 1916, and began training as an aviator at San Diego, California, from which place he graduated as Junior Military Aviator in May, 1917. He was soon promoted to Captain. In August, 1917, he was sent to France, and served on all the different fronts, collecting data for the United States Air Service. He served in this important capacity till December, 1917. He was promoted to Major. With the valuable information that he had collected he was called to Washington and placed on the General Staff of Air Service. After serving on the staff until July, he was sent to Mineola, Long Island, to take command of the first provincial wing of the Air Service at that place. While there he was killed in an auto accident, October, 1918. Lieutenant Fuller, who served under Major East, said that the work that was done by East was highly important and confidential. "I marvel how a man of his age could be entrusted to do such work. He was exceptionally capable and had a complete grasp of the situation, and was quick in his decisions. He was absolutely fearless. On the [36] night of the sinking of the U. S. Cruiser Santiago by a German sub- marine off Fire Island, when the news came to us he went out in a battle plane, carrying bombs which were considered very dangerous without some person or ballast in the rear seat. "It was East's hope to take the men in the Air Service over as a unit and move directly to the front. This was considered an experiment. We appreciate his standing at Washington when we learn that he was selected to carry this out in the face of the fact that he was the youngest Major in the Air Service that had ever been connected with the General Staff." Major East was a modest young man, free from all ostentation. All his brilliant achievements and prominence attained even so young, never turned his head. He was seen to come often out of his head- quarters without the insignia of his rank on, having forgotten it while absorbed in important matters. He was loved by all men in his com- mand. They would have given up their lives for him had it been neces- sary. One of his pilots, who was very fond of him, said: "He was an honest- to-God man." Dr. Mercer Green, speaking of Major East's death, said, among other things, the following: "The United States has lost one of its best and most esteemed officers, Tate County one of its most brilliant and beloved young men." [37] GEORGE PERCY ERNEST In all ages it has been true that to sacrifice one's life for one's country is the noblest of deeds. The manner in which this is done should and does matter little. The man who dies on the field of battle renders a great service and to him great honor is due, but it wasn't given that all should serve at the front or make their sacrifice 'midst the glory of battle. Some were called upon to sacrifice their am- bitions for service at the front in order that others might be made ready for the conflict. Such was the case of G. P. Ernest, ex-' 12, who spent several months in various camps in the United States training other men for battle. Such, too, was his fate, that while in the Officers' Training Camp at Camp Hancock, Georgia, he contracted influenza and pneumonia, and died November 16, 1918, only a few days before he would have received his commission as an officer in a machine gun organization. Ernest made a splendid record as a member of the training camp and was con- sidered one of the best shots in the camp. It was indeed unfortunate that a man of Percy Ernest's type should have to pay the supreme sacrifice under such conditions. Percy Ernest was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ernest, of Durant, Mississippi. He was born and reared at Durant, attending school there until 1908, when he entered the A. and M. College. He remained at A. and M. two years, making a great number of friends among the students and faculty. While here he was a member of the George Rifles and played baseball on the 'Varsity team. At the end of his sophomore year he left A. and M. and began work for the railroad, with which he remained until the call for service in 1917. Percy was a splendid man from every point of view, and his death is a loss to the College as well as to his friends. It is a pleasure to do honor to him in this volume. [38] JOHN BROWNRIGG ERVIN John Brownrigg Ervin, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ervin, was born in Oktibbeha County, April 20, 1890. At an early age he moved with his parents to West Point, Mississippi, where he entered the public schools. From the public schools he entered the school of engineer- ing at the A. and M. College in September, 1905, and graduated in 1908. "Jack," as he was familiarly known by his friends, was an earnest student and com- pleted his course with honor. Upon graduation, "Jack" was em- ployed by the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. While with that company he was engaged in the various industrial enterprises in Charles- ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. Notable among these was the installation, under his supervision, of the first electric locomotives which were used in drawing trains through the Pennsylvania tunnels under the Hudson River. He volunteered and began his training at Atlanta, in December, 1917. He continued his training at the University of Texas and at Dallas, Texas. From Kelly Field he was transferred to Keane Field, Mineola, Long Island. Here, just one day before he was to receive his commission and be designated for overseas service, he met his death by accident, on May 8, 1918. The following account of his tragic death is taken from the New York Times of May 9, 1918: "Two airplanes, coming out of a mist to make a landing on Keane Flying Field of the United States Army, near Mineola, Long Island, came into collision yesterday, and both machines were wrecked when they reached the ground. One cadet sustained injuries which caused his death, and two others were severely hurt. "Cadet John B. Ervin, of West Point, Mississippi, who was killed, was alone in his machine and was coming down at a steep angle through a haze, when Ralph E. Jeramy, of Emporia, Kansas, and J. R. Vidmer, who were together in a machine, saw the other plane almost directly above them. Fearing that the two machines would strike squarely, if they continued their angle of flight, Jeramy, who was about 800 [39] feet above ground, attempted a descending loop. While this appar- ently avoided a full collision, the machines struck, throwing both planes out of control. The machine piloted by Ervin fell heavily to the ground, while Jeramy was able to make a rough landing, though both Jeramy and Vidmer were injured." Sad and precipitate as was this unfortunate ending of his life, yet he left a fame and a name which will ever be a treasured gift, a glorious heritage to his father and mother and his many friends. His ability, worth, and work will always be an inspiration and a cherished legacy from one greatly loved whom now we mourn. /J -A-.V -i : ' • ' - ' :•.••♦•• ' * ' -»/.v- J .? \, [40] FRANCIS WALKER GARDNER Francis Walker Gardner, First Lieutenant in the infantry, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Gardner, of Belden, Mississippi, and was born at Bissell, Lee County, Mississippi, June 26, 1889. He yielded up his life in behalf of his country on the Champaigne Sector, France, October 12, 1918, dying from the wounds he received only six days previous. Frank, as he was familiarly called by his friends, received his elementary edu- cation in the public school of Tupelo. In September, 1908, he entered the agri- cultural course at the Mississippi A. and M. College. After completing a portion of his senior year he left A. and M. in the spring of 1912. In 1914 he returned to pursue special courses in agriculture. He remained during 1914-15 and 1915-16. While at A. and M. he was a member of the Lee Guards. Lieutenant Gardner met his death as the soldier would wish; he fell in action. He enlisted at Jackson, Michigan, in September, 1917, and received his training at Fort Sheridan. In January, 1918, he landed in France, and after two months of land service, he was assigned to the Fifth Regiment of Marines, which took such an active part in driving the Huns back at Chateau Thierry. Recovering from wounds he received there in July, 1918, he was promoted to First Lieutenant and assigned to the Forty-third Infantry, Second Division, regulars. In action with this organization on the Champaigne Sector, Lieutenant Gardner received his mortal wound on October 6, dying a week later, October 12. Besides being the possessor of an attractive personality, Frank was entirely unselfish and his genuine devotion to his friends, whom he counted by the score, made him a true leader. His letters written from France to his friends and relatives in America show clearly that he was bright in mental powers, social and friendly in disposition, gentle in spirit, and devoted to all who had claims on him. Lieutenant Gardner is survived by his wife, who was Miss Blanche Iona McClintock, of New Orleans, an uncle, A. L. Abernathy, and an aunt, Miss Dolly Gardner, both of Belden. [41] THOMAS WADSWORTH GOLDING Thomas Wadsworth Golding was born at the "Thomas Place,'' his grand- father's plantation, eight miles east of Columbus, on February 16, 1890. He received his early education in the rural school near his home and in the schools of Columbus. At the age of seventeen he entered the freshman class in the school of engineering at the A. and M. College and graduated in June, 1911, with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. After leaving A. and M. he became engaged in civil engineering and for several years was actively engaged in his profession. With the knowl- edge and experience he had gained in college and in his years of civil engineering he later began designing and building farm houses, in improving roads, and in countless other beneficial activities. While in training at Camp Humphreys, Virginia, Mr. Golding suc- cumbed to the epidemic of Spanish Influenza, October 6, shortly after having passed his overseas examination. He was attached to Company F, Third Engineers. In college "Tom," as he was familiarly known to his classmates, was loyal and devoted to his friends, a good student, and manly through- out. He was very popular, as evidenced by his membership in several college social societies. Thomas Golding is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Golding, one brother, the Rev. N. J. Golding, and four sisters, Misses Fannie, Sue, Minnie, and Pattie Ervin Golding. [42] TILMAN BARGL GRAY Tilman Barge Gray was born at Montrose, Mississippi, February 8, 1896. He was reared at Montrose and had spent his entire life there, living in a Christian home that gave rise to a life of clean and high ideals. He attended public school at his home and graduated from the high school at the age of eighteen. He became a Christian at the age of twelve, becoming a member of the Presbyterian Church. As a student he excelled, as is shown by his record at the Mississippi A. and M. College. At this institution he com- pleted his regular four-year course in three years, and in June, 1917, received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. Shortly after graduation, Mr. Gray entered the training camp at Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas, and at the end of the intensive training period was commissioned Second Lieutenant and assigned to Com- pany A, 346th Infantry. Later he was transferred to Company D of the Machine Gun Battalion, where he was to do some special work. In discharge of this special work he met his death. The accident occurred about nine o'clock on Monday morning, November 11, 1917. He and two other officers were on a truck load of ammunition en route to the rifle range when the chauffeur lost control of the machine and it plunged off a six foot embankment into a tree, throwing men and munition boxes in a heap. Several of the men were hurt slightly but Lieutenant Gray received internal injuries that claimed his life within an hour after the accident occurred. He was carried to the hospital at Fort Logan Roots, where he regained consciousness and was at himself until the end came. His body was carried to Little Rock, where it was kept over night, and from there it was sent to his home at Montrose, Mississippi, for burial. As an officer Lieutenant Gray was always courteous toward the men in his charge. He is said to have never been rude toward any recruit. When he rebuked them, he always did it in a tactful manner, a fact that gave him a marked distinction among the officers and won for him the love and regard of his command. His most remarkable and distinguishing feature, as an officer, was his clean language. Lieutenant Gray is survived by his mother, Mrs. M. E. Gray, one sister, and one brother. [43] HENRY WARD HAMRICK Of the thousands of gallant American boys who laid down their lives in behalf of their country none had promise of a finer future than Ward Hamrick, none enjoyed a more genuine esteem from a wide circle of friends, none had manifested a truer strength of character. Lieutenant Hamrick was born at Hamrick, Mississippi, October 15, 1893. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hamrick, now of Greenwood. After at- tending school in his native town, Ward, in 1908, entered A. and M., where he re- mained until 1911. In college young Hamrick was a member of the Lee Guards. In later life he joined the Elks and belonged to the Illinois Commercial Men's Association and the Mississippi Travelers' Association. From the time he was fourteen years of age, he was a loyal member of the Baptist Church. At the outbreak of the war, Mr. Hamrick gave up his position as traveling salesman for a large automobile accessory house, and entered the first Officers' Training Camp at Forth McPherson, Georgia. On August 15, 1917, he was commissioned First Lieutenant and later sent to Camp Gordon, where he was attached to the 82nd Division. For a few months after he went overseas, he was connected with the British army. In all of the fierce fighting which his regiment, the 326th Infantry, saw, Lieutenant Hamrick took a conspicuous and heroic part. In that most terrific contest of the war, the battle of the Argonne Forest, a shell fell into the dugout in which he stayed, and Ward Hamrick, as his Major said, "died with a smile on his face." By a strange coincidence, Lieutenant Hamrick died on his 25th birthday. A host of eloquent tributes on both sides of the water bear evidence to the affection with which the memory of Greenwood's fallen soldier is cherished. The Colonel of the regiment voluntarily wrote feelingly of Lieutenant Hamrick's valor and the glory he added to his country's record. The Major who commanded the unit was almost heart- broken. Other officers recorded their earnest expression of personal loss. Friends in the homeland have added in impressive volume their testimonies to the worth of such a man. It must surely soothe the sense of grief to remember that he is borne in honor by his Alma Mater, his fellow soldiers, and a great army of unforgetting friends. [44] WILLIAM MELVILLE HURLEY William Melville Hurley was born on December 30, 1897, at Mobile, Alabama. He received his early educa- tion in the Convent of Mercy and in the public schools of Gulfport and Pass Christian. After leaving school he held a responsible position with the Mobile and Ohio Railway Company, and with the International Ship Building Com- pany. Upon entering the army Mr. Hurley entered the A. and M. College to receive vocational training better to prepare him for the part that he, no doubt, hoped very soon to play in the great struggle for democracy. Whatever am- bition he cherished to go over and take active part in the war at the front was destroyed, for soon after coming to A. and M. he fell a victim to pneumonia, of which disease he died on the 7th of October, 1918. Mr. Hurley was a very bright and industrious young man. He soon won the respect and confidence of those he came in contact with. Among his friends and loved ones he was a special favorite. He is survived by his father, mother, a sister, and a brother. [45] EARL T. JONES Earl T. Jones was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Jones, of French Camp, Mississippi. He was born in Montgomery County, Mississippi, on July 24, 1900, and spent his early childhood in that county. He attended school at Bethsaida, Mississippi, and French Camp Academy. In September, 1918, Earl entered the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi and immediately enlisted in the Students' Army Training Corps. Before the organization of the S. A. T. C. was barely completed he contracted influenza, which soon developed into pneu- monia. On October 4, 1918, Earl T. Jones yielded up his life for the noblest cause of man. Earl's clean, wholehearted, optimistic character won for him the admiration of all his acquaintances. That his promising young life was nipped in the bud is a source of grief to his friends and relatives, all of whom honored and loved him. [46] HARRY STANLEY JONES Harry Stanley Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Jones, of Schlatcr. Mis- sissippi, was born near Sunny Side, Mississippi, on October 30, 1889. He gave his life for his country on January I, 1919, drowning in Plymouth Harbor, England. He received his elementary and high school training in the rural school near his home, and at the age of seventeen entered the preparatory department of the Mississippi A. and M. College, Sep- tember, 1906. The following year he returned to A. and M. and entered the freshman class in the school of engineer- ing. This was his last year at A. and M., for the next saw him caring for the family farm* near Schlater, Mississippi. After having gone through the entire war without any mishaps, Stanley, as he was familiarly called, lost his life in Plymouth Harbor, England, through the sinking of a motor dory. Jones and two other men were in the motor dory with orders to carry a line out to the buoy to which the "U. S. S. Woolsey" was to be moored. After entering the harbor and as the small vessel was about to secure the buoy, a heavy squall struck the harbor, which is more or less exposed to the open sea. On the capsizing of the boat, the "Woolsey," which was still under way, proceeded at full speed to the assistance of the men, who were several hundred feet from the ship and near the buoy. Life lines were thrown to the men, but only one man succeeded in reaching one and a boat was lowered to render assistance. Stanley and another man named Matineu sank before assistance could reach them, and owing to the heavy tide their bodies were swept away to a grave which no man names or knows. Stanley was a friend in whom you could confide, without fear of disappointment, one that scattered sunshine with his very presence, for he was always happy and smiling. His self-denials for those he loved, his honesty, the passing words of sympathy, little acts of kind- ness — these are threads of gold that gleam bright in the memory of friends. As a shipmate he was popular and had the universal commenda- tion of his officers. He had already been recently promoted to Coxswain as a petty officer. His mother, Mrs. Mary Wall Jones, three sisters, and six brothers are left to mourn his loss. With these surviving relatives, the A. and M. College and his many friends regret the cutting short of a life that was just beginning to blossom into useful service. PERRY ILES LYONS Perry Iles Lyons, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lyons, was born at Vicks- burg, Mississippi, June 19, 1888. His early education and training were received in the public schools of Vicksburg, and in September, 1906, he entered the agricultural course at the Mississippi A. and M. College. Although privileged to receive only one year of college training, he made a deep impression upon all who knew him. As characteristic of his family, Perry Lyons was known to his instructors and friends by his ability, accuracy, and high regard for the truth. At the time war was declared Perry was employed as traveling representative of the Sherwin-Williams Paint Company, with head- quarters in New Orleans, Louisiana. He gave up his position, and entered the aviation section of Uncle Sam's army, and at the time of his death was completing his training at Barron Field, Fort Worth, Texas. On October 10, 1918, within three days of the day upon which he was to receive his commission, Perry Lyons and two other cadets were flying in "three formation" when his machine collided with one of the others and injured his control. He immediately began a spiral to descend, but owing to the injury to his machine the spiral was not wide enough, and just as a bird wounded in one wing cannot control his flight, so Perry's plane quickly changed to a nose dive, and he crashed to the earth — a fall of 3,500 feet. Death was instantaneous. Possessing an attractive personality, a brilliant mind, and an un- selfish heart, Perry^Lyons was an exceptional type of man. His mother, Mrs. Jessie D. Lyons, of Vicksburg, two sisters, and two brothers are left to mourn his loss. His body, in its flag-draped casket, was forwarded to his home at Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he was laid to rest on Saturday after- noon, October 12, 1918. [48] MURRAY READ MAXWELL Murray Read Maxwell was born at Starkville, Mississippi, April 11,1 900, and died of pneumonia while in training with the army unit stationed at the A. and M. College, October 24, 1918. Mr. Maxwell spent his entire life in Starkville, having received his elementary education in the public schools of that city. In September, 1915, he entered the freshman class in the school of agriculture at the A. and M. College. Having completed the junior year he volunteered his services to Uncle Sam and was being trained for military service at the time of his death. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herris Maxwell, three brothers, and two sisters are left to mourn his loss. With these surviving relatives, the A. and M. College and his many friends regret the cutting short of a life that promised such great usefulness. [49] JOHN FLETCHER McCORMICK John Fletcher McCormick, First Lieutenant in the Aviation Service, yielded up his life in behalf of his country on November 3, 1918, just eight days before the signing of the armistice. Mr. McCormick was born in Hatties- burg on December 20, 1897, and was not, therefore, twenty-one years of age when he made the last great sacrifice. When seven years old, he moved to Collins, where he entered the city schools. He graduated from the high school in 1914 and in the same year entered A. and M. College, at which he remained until May, 1917, when, impelled by motives of truest patriotism, he volun- teered for military service. After a short stay at Camp Pike, he was transferred to the aviation work, in which branch of the service he received a thorough training at the ground school located at the Uni- versity of Texas. In October, 1917, he arrived in France, where he completed his training. Mr. McCormick met his death as the soldier would wish; he fell in action and in an action in which he distinguished himself not only for the highest qualities of personal courage, but also for the most unselfish consideration of the welfare of his colleagues. The brave boy is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Mc- Cormick, of Collins, and by four sisters, Mrs. T. H. Harper and Misses Georgina, Katherine, and Gladys McCormick. The war surely claimed no nobler sacrifice than John F. McCormick. In him was blended a rare combination of qualities that promise certain success. He had an intellectual grasp which made easy the acquiring of a good education; he had a winsome personality which gave him a large influence over his fellow men; and he had a character true to the highest ideals of life. Many tender tributes have been offered to his memory by people of widely different circumstances. His high school teachers, his col- leagues in arms, and a host of personal friends have borne witness to the capacity of his mind, the righteousness of his conduct, and the loveliness of his spirit. The records he left, too, in the schools and in the army are eloquent evidence that he used to the finest advantage that time God allotted to him. [50] georgl p. Mcdonald, jr. George Prentiss McDonald, Jr. was born in Jones County, Mississippi, May 29, 1898, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. B. P. McDonald. In 1903 he moved with his parents to Collins. He entered the Collins Graded School and in 1915 graduated from the High School of that town with the highest honors of his class. The following year he entered the Mississippi A. and M. College and spent two sessions as a student in the school of engineering. On August 5, 1917, he was mustered into the United States army service as a member of the Curtis Field Artillery and received his training at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. On July 15, 1918, he landed in France with the American Expeditionary Forces, and was assigned to Battery B, 320th Field Artillery, in which battery he served until his death. After three weeks of training in France, George accompanied his battery to the front, getting into action near Toul. Very shortly his battery was moved up to the St. Mihiel Sector, where they went through twelve days of gruelling offensive. After only a few days of rest Battery B was ordered to proceed to the Argonne Forest area. Accordingly, on October 15, 1918, the battery began its advance beyond the little town of Fleville and took its position on one of the neighboring hills. As the last caisson was rumbling along in the out- skirts of the village, with its load of American shells, a German shell came over and landed in the road with all its destructive power, a fragment of it claiming the life of Prentiss McDonald, Jr. Paying the price on the field of honor, this hero passed out smiling, to meet his God. The following morning he was buried just back of the town of Fleville, France, his chaplain performing the simple ceremony that marked the last tribute to a soldier dead. George was the sole pride of his venerable father's life, his mother dying when he was in his early teens. The seriousness of his purpose, his generous spirit of friendship, and the purity of his life are prominent traits that his numerous friends will always remember. Only his father, Mr. G. P. McDonald, of Collins, Mississippi, sur- vives him, but with this father the A. and M. College and his numerous friends are left to mourn the loss of this noble young man. [51] HOMER DANIEL McDONALD Homer Daniel McDonald was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel C. McDonald, of Moscow, Mississippi. He was born near Moscow, October 2S, 1 889. He died from broncho-pneumonia while in the American Hospital at Neufchateau, France, September 9, 1918. "Mac," as he was familiarly called by his friends, received his elementary education in the public schools of Moscow. In September, 1907, he entered the Mississippi A. and M. College. During the second term of his stay at A. and M. he had a spell of measles which affected his eyes to such an extent that he was forced to withdraw and drop his studies altogether. Returning to his home in Moscow, he was employed as a clerk in a general merchandise store. This position he held until December 10, 1917, when he enlisted in the army. After a short period of training on this side, "Mac" was promoted to Sergeant and assigned to the Seventh Company, Fourth Motor Mechanics Regiment. Early in the summer of 1918 he accompanied his regiment to France. Within a few months after reaching France he contracted influenza and was transferred to Base Hospital No. 66, at Neufchateau. Here broncho-pneumonia developed, claiming his life on September 9, 1918, He was unconscious almost the whole time he was sick. Just before dying he regained consciousness and told his nurse that he realized his condition and was "ready and willing to die." He was given a military funeral, with an eight gun salute, and was buried in the cemetery attached to Base Hospital 66. His high standing among the officers and men of his regiment is an endorsement of his manly character and unselfish disposition. Of him his commanding officer said: "He was a perfect gentleman at all times and an excellent soldier." Besides numerous friends Mr. McDonald leaves his sister, Mrs. T. M. Jackson, of Moscow, to mourn his loss. [52] FDWIN J. McMULLEN * 4* J Edwin J. McMullen was born a few ^K p miles west ol Starkville, Mississippi, on *M s.. ^ March 5, l(S ( M. I lis early education was obtained at the county school near his home. While he was still a school boy his father died, and the family moved to the nearby town of Maben. He con- tinued going to school at that place, graduating from the Maben High School. Edwin entered the freshman class of the Mississippi A. and M. College in September of 191 I. During the year he elected to take the agricultural course. He remained at college until about the end of the first term in his sophomore year. It then became necessary for him to return home. He planned to return to college later and finish his courses. However, the turn of circumstances denied him this opportunity. Even though he never returned to college, he spent much time reading and studying. The next year was spent in farming at home. In the fall of the same year he accepted a position as teacher in the school at Slate Springs, Mississippi. The following years were spent in teaching school in Carroll County, Mississippi. He was teaching there when called to the colors about May 25, 1918. Edwin was sent first to Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg. He was assigned to a gun company for training. He remained at Camp Shelby until September 12, when he was transferred to Camp Mills, New York. Edwin remained in this camp until October 1 , being moved to port of embarkation on that date. It was decided to send this contingent over on an English boat. Montreal, Canada, was the place set from which they were to sail. He reached this city on October 2, and immediately embarked. Edwin was sent overseas in a machine company, which had been assigned to the 150th Infantry of the 38th Division. On October 6th, which was after they had been at sea for four days, Edwin was taken sick with influenza. He then went to the hospital on the boat for three or four days. Thinking that his condition was improved, he returned to his company for a day or two. After this [531 he again went to the hospital and remained until the boat reached England. English nurses met the boat at Liverpool, England, on October 18, and took all sick men to the base hospital. The influenza developed into pneumonia, and death came on October 24, 1918. Edwin J. McMullen is survived by a mother, three sisters, and two brothers. His death was a great shock to them. It was especially hard for them to bear since Edwin's older brother, Elmer H. McMullen, died of pneumonia in a training camp in New York only two days after Edwin's death. Edwin J. McMullen was a young man of fine Christian character. His loss is keenly felt by his many friends. 541 ORION LINDEL MITCHELL Orion Lindel Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Mitchell, of Eupora, Mississippi, was born on June 26, 1896, in Choctaw County. He attended the public schools of his county until he had completed his grammar school education. For his preparatory school work he at- tended Bennett Academy, at Mathiston, Mississippi. During the session of 1912 and 1914, he served as page in the Mis- sissippi Legislature, at Jackson, dis- charging every duty with unusual credit for a boy of his age. In the fall of 1914, he entered the freshman class in electrical engineering at the Mississippi A. and M. College. His quiet, business-like manner soon marked him as an earnest student. As he became known, he found deep friendships among his classmates. He was active in track athletics. Just three weeks after war had been declared, he volunteered for service, leaving college at the end of his junior year. Lieutenant Mitchell received his ground school training at the University of Texas, at Austin. From there he went to Kelly Field, No. 2, near San Antonio, Texas, for training in aviation. On January 9, 1918, he received a commission as First Lieutenant, Aviation Ser- vice, Signal Corps Section. As evidence of his splendid worth and his record at Kelly Field, he was retained there as an instructor of cadets. He had already graduated over thirty men from his classes when, on March 11, 1918, in an accident, his plane crashed to earth and his valuable life was brought to its close. O. L., as his classmates called him, left his father, W. B. Mitchell, a brother, and a sister, who reside at Eupora. [55] THOMAS IRVING PARKER Thomas I. Parker, son of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Parker, of Louisville, was born in Winston County, Mississippi, on July 1 , 1 899. His elementary and high school training was received in the Louisville public schools. Early in life Thomas joined the Presbyterian Church, and was a very active member until his death. At the age of nineteen he entered the Mississippi A. and M. College, September, 1918. Shortly after matriculating he joined the Students' Army Training Corps at the College and entered upon his intensive training with great en- thusiasm, when he contracted influenza, which very soon developed into pneumonia. He died October 9, 1918. He was buried at Louis- ville. During the short while Thomas Parker was at College he was always cheerful and pleasing in manner, which made for him a host of friends. These with his relatives mourn the loss of a splendid young man. [56] MARSTON GORDON PEETS and PAUL BRUCE PEETS The passing of the Peets brothers, lovable and promising boys who died within a week of each other, forms one of the most touching inci- dents in all the tragic chapter of the great war story. A further note of sadness enters into the deplorable chronicle when one records the fact that a third brother also died during the epidemic of influenza. The life stories of Marston and Paul Peets are well-nigh identical; and in death, as was said of old, they were not divided. In fact, when Marston, who went first, was carried away from the campus, Paul seemed to lose even the desire to live. All who looked at that time into his wondrously deep eyes will never forget the unutterable distress there portrayed; and one week later to the day he joined his brother in the Great Beyond. It would be a kind of inaccuracy, there- fore, to attempt to tell separately the story of the lives cut short pathetic- ally soon. The boys were born in Lessley, Mississippi, Marston on December 19, 1896, and Paul on July 31, 1899. They were the children of Dr. and Mrs. George H. Peets and belonged to one of the most honored families of Mississippi. While both were mere children their parents died, leaving considerable property. The young Peets boys, notably Marston, the older, soon developed business acumen that, coupled with energy and vision, made them respected as men of affairs even in their youth. After completing courses of study in the Wilkinson County schools, Paul having graduated from the agricultural high school at Woodville, the brothers entered A. and M. College in the fall of 1918. Both of them enrolled in the S. A. T. C. During the terrible days of influenza the boys contracted this disease and sank rapidly. Marston died on October 10, 1918, and Paul on October 17, 1918. They are survived by two sisters, Mrs. L. O'Fallon and Miss Kate Peets; and by four brothers, Messrs. R. D. Peets, L. C. Peets, George Peets, and Granville Peets. The death of the two boys seems sad enough when one thinks of the promising future that lay before them, but the loss looms even greater when one remembers what lovely spirits and noble characters these boys were. They were gentlemen in all sincerity; they were unselfish and clean and devoted to the finest ideals which men can cherish; and in the hearts of all who knew them they are held in un- forgetting affection. [57] EDWARD LEE PENTECOST Edward Lee Pentecost was born near Elder Grove, in the southern part of Carroll County, Mississippi, February 11,1 893. As a boy he was always cheer- ful and looked upon the sunny side of life. His ancestors were among the pioneer settlers of Carroll County. "Penny," as he was familiarly called by his classmates and chums, when a child enjoyed nothing more than to listen to the thrilling adventures of '65 as related by his grandfather, who was a Confed- erate veteran. He attended the public school at Seven Pines and entered the freshman class at A. and M., September, 191 1. In 1915, he completed the prescribed course of study in civil and mining engineering, receiving with honor the B.S. degree. The following year he entered the junior class at the University of Virginia. At the time our country became engaged in the war "Penny" was employed as a civil engineer for the Illinois Central Railroad, and was in line for promotion. Leaving this splendid position he entered the army, attending the Officers' Training Camp at Camp Stanley, Texas, where he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Field Artillery. Leaving Camp Stanley, he spent several months at Camp Greene, Char- lotte, North Carolina, and two months at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, prepara- tory to going oversea. On May 25, 1918, he arrived in France and was soon in the thick of the fighting, going through the Argonne Front Drive, the St. Mihiel Salient, and the battle of Chateau Thierry with- out a scratch. Strange indeed are the events of life. Only the Omnipotent Hand is able to direct us. Here our friend faced shell-fire, gas, and gun- powder, only to contract a cold which developed into pneumonia, finally claiming him, while he lay in the American Red Cross Hospital No. 28, Linoges, France, November 5, 1918. The funeral services were conducted by Chaplain Percy M. Kendall, with all military honors, on November 6. He sleeps in the American Military Cemetery, which is located in a beautiful spot near Linonges and near to a large French cemetery. His grave number is 135. Lieutenant Pentecost was one of Mississippi's most popular sons. He was not only attractive in personality, but he was entirely unselfish. His genuine devotion to his friends, whom he counted by the score, and his manly, Christian character are attributes that will be cherished in memory by all who knew him. JOSEPH STREET PETERS The subject of this sketch was born on May 8, 1888, in Artesia, Mississippi. After completing his studies in the public school of Artesia, he entered the freshman class of the engineering school at A. and M. in the fall of 1905. He completed the work of the freshman year and re- turned to college as a sophomore during the session 1906-1907. After leaving college Peters was for sometime employed in New York City. Later he was engaged in the cotton brokerage business in Texas. Soon after the United States entered the war he resigned his position to enter the military service of his country. He enlisted in the aviation branch of the army, and soon gained recog- nition as an apt student and a potential military aviator of great promise. He had been in the service only a few months, and was in the final stages of his training course at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas, when death overtook him, the result of an aeroplane accident. The guard of honor of the aviation service, the numerous and beautiful floral offerings, and the many soldiers and personal friends — all of these in evidence on the day of the funeral of the unfortunate aviator attested to the popularity of Joe Peters. In college Joe Peters was always of that cheerful and pleasing manner that made for him the host of friends in college which he had always enjoyed in his home community. The many old A. and M. men of the years '05, '06 and '07 will grieve with the young wife and little daughter, with the mother, and with the two brothers, who are saddened on account of the death of "Joe" Peters. [59] HENRY HARRIS ROBERT Henry Harris Robert, Major in the Engineering Corps of the U. S. Regular Army, died at Vancouver Bar- racks, Washington, on September 1, 1917. Major Robert was born in Center- ville, Mississippi, September 8, 1882. After a thorough training in elementary subjects, he entered A. and M. College in the fall of 1897. During his junior year at this institution, he won in a com- petitive examination held at Jackson an appointment to the United States Mili- tary Academy at West Point. Here he made an exceptional record for scholar- ship, graduating in 1 903 as the commanding cadet officer. It is probable that his very assiduous devotion to duty in his student days began a slow undermining of his health. The outbreak of the war found Major Robert eager to offer his talents to his country in the hour of her supreme need. Although recognizing his rapidly weakening physical condition, the War Depart- ment yielded to his request not to be sent to the hospital but for assign- ment to some command likely to go soon to active service in France, and ordered him to duty with the 4th Regiment Engineering Corps at Vancouver Barracks. The change occurred about the 27th of August, and on September 1 the soldier lost his last fight. His death resulted from a nervous breakdown following excessive overwork while in poor condition. Major Robert is survived by his father, Dr. J. C. Robert, Sr., of Center- ville, by four brothers, Dr. J. C. Robert, Jr., of A. and M. College, Commander W. P. Robert, U. S. N., Dr. J. J. Robert, of Baton Rouge, and Mr. S. A. Robert, of Jackson, Tennessee; by his wife and two small sons. Though crowned with much achievement, the working years of his life were really a long-drawn struggle against ill health. Several years before his death, the War Department had ordered him to take a year's complete rest in New Mexico. He rallied bravely after this period, but did not experience a complete recovery. Major Robert was a man of peculiar gifts, not only in themselves but in their combination. He was endowed with a mind marvelous in its quick and sure penetration; with an influence, born of inherent strength, over his fellows; with a sensitive conscience; and with utter consecration to those great ideals, spiritual as well as professional, which constantly challenged his efforts. LAMBERT C. ROBINSON Lambert C. Robinson, son of Rev. and Mrs. E. J. Robinson, was born on June 22, 1885, at Brandon, Mississippi. He gave his life for his country December 20, 1918, dying in the United States Army Hospital at Dernback, Germany, from wounds received in action a few days previous to the signing of the armistice. Lieutenant Robinson was reared at Brandon, where he attended the public school, completing his school training in the spring of 1905. In September of the same year he entered the freshman class in the school of agriculture at the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. Owing to the death of his father, in 1906, his college training was cut short after only one year at A. and M. He then began working for an insurance company, and within a short while was made agent for the Franklin Insurance Company with headquarters at Dyersburg, Tennessee. This position he held until the United States entered the war. On May 14, 1917, Mr. Robinson enlisted in the army at Fort Ogle- thorpe, Georgia, and attended the first Officers' Training Camp at that station, receiving his commission as Second Lieutenant on August 22, 1917. He was immediately assigned to the 16th Machine Gun Company, and on September 7, 1917, sailed for France. With the 16th Machine Gun Company he served throughout the war and was in active service at the front until the early part of November, 1918, when he received wounds that claimed his life. Lieutenant Robinson's clean, manly life made him respected by all who knew him, while his warm, unselfish friendship caused him to be loved by all who had claims on him. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. E. J. Robinson, two sisters, Mrs. G. W. Pollock and Mrs. D. C. Cox, and two brothers, J. F. and G. O. Robinson. [61] EDWARD LAFAYETTE ROSE Edward Lafayette Rose, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Rose, was born at Saulsberry, Tennessee, on July 26, 1896. His early youth was spent in Saulsberry, Aberdeen, Mississippi, and Yazoo City, Mississippi. His early education was re- ceived from the public school of Aberdeen and the high school of Yazoo City. After completing the tenth grade in high school, he entered the freshman class in the school of agriculture at the Mississippi A. and M. College, September, 1915. Although his college career covered only one year, he made a very favorable impression upon all with whom he came in contact. He was a good student and popular with his professors and classmates. On May 7, 1917, he enlisted as an apprentice seaman in the navy, at St. Louis, Missouri. He was immediately sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station for training, and was later, November 8, 1917, assigned to the U. S. S. Vermont and promoted to First-class Seaman. While on duty on board the ship Edward L. Rose met his untimely death, January 15, 1918. Attempting to descend through an armoured hatchway from the berth deck to the deck below, Mr. Rose encountered a heavy armoured hatch which had become unhooked, and, owing to the motion of the ship in a heavy sea, swung against him, pinning his head and left shoulder and arm between the hatch cover and the edge. Death resulted within twenty-five minutes. His body was laid to rest in the West View Cemetery, Atlanta, Georgia, on January 23, 1918. Mr. Rose had been a member of the Presbyterian Church since childhood, and all who knew him can testify that he lived the life of a gentleman, never shirking his duties toward God nor man. His parents, Mrs. Mary Vivian Rose and Mr. C. M. Rose, and three brothers, Carl M., F. Preston, and Dudley Rose, are left to mourn his loss. [62] ABNER POTTS HUBERT SAGE Abner Potts Hubert Sage was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Sage. He was born at Cocheran, Mississippi, August 2, 1889. After completing the public school course Mr. Sage attended the Mississippi A. and M. College for two years. While at the A. and M. he was in the engineering school, doing the required work of the freshman and sopho- more years. From the A. and M. he went to the University of Mississippi, and was graduated from there in both the literary department and the school of medicine. Dr. Sage seemed to be ambitious to excel in his profession and left no stone unturned to equip himself for the most efficient service in his chosen field. In order to do this, after finishing the medical course at the State University, he went to Jefferson Medical College, of Phila- delphia, one of the foremost institutions of its kind in the United States. He was graduated from this college, which was evidence of the fact that he was then well prepared to enter upon his profession as a private prac- titioner. But he was by no means through with his course of prepara- tion after leaving Philadelphia, for he then went to New York City and spent two years in King's County Hospital, thus acquiring much valuable experience and useful professional knowledge. From New York City he went to Memphis, Tennessee, where another year was spent in the hospital of that city, during which time he came into possession of valuable information as to local conditions, and how to treat many of the most common diseases in the places where he was soon to practice. But the tender of the professional services of this scholarly and thoroughly equipped young man to the public was of brief duration, for he practiced barely one year when he joined the Medical Corps of the United States Army. His energy, professional skill, his valuable life, he then gave unreservedly to his country to be used that Democracy might live. He left Memphis on September 10, 1917, and reached England on October 26 of the same year. He worked in the hospitals of England until March, 1918. Then it was that the Germans were launching their great spring drive, and Dr. Sage went to France. On account [63] of his unusually good training, his youth and bravery, he was assigned to field hospital service, which brought him up near the front. On the night of May 30, while working in the operating theater of the hospital at Doullenes, a German airman dropped a shell on the roof, notwithstanding the fact that it was brilliantly illuminated with searchlights playing upon the Red Cross flags in such a manner that there could be no mistaking the character of the hospital building. The bomb went through the roof without exploding until it lit in the operating room on the first floor. The explosion killed Dr. Sage, two Red Cross nurses, six orderlies, and other persons in the operating room, thirty-seven in all. Not satiated with the ruthless destruction and slaughter of this bomb, it is said that the brutish airman came back and emptied his machine gun in the smoking ruins of this hospital. Though his period of service was short, for he soon made the supreme sacrifice, few heroes have a more glorious record to their credit or more richly deserve a warm place in the hearts of their countrymen than Dr. Sage. Without waiting to be drafted, he volunteered his services, and his earnest request was "active service at once." His commanding officer said that he had endeared himself to all his colleagues and that his loss was felt very keenly. The desire to help those who needed help was a passion with him. Just before he was killed he refused to be relieved from duty, for he was unmindful of self when he thought his services were needed. Truly may it be said that he sacrificed himself for others. No hero closed his career in a more fitting manner than Dr. Sage did. His last act was that of attending the injuries of others. When the end came to him his suffering must have been momentary. Among the relatives who survive him are his sisters, Miss Jerome Sage and Mrs. Frank Hogan, of Starkville. [64] THOMAS LITTLETON SEALS Thomas Littleton Seals was born at Duncan, Bolivar County, Mississippi, November 6, 1884. His early childhood was spent near his birthplace, where he attended public school. For two years he attended the public schools of Cleve- land, Mississippi, and in 1905 he entered Christian Brothers College, Memphis, Tennessee. After having spent six years there Thomas matriculated as a freshman in the school of agriculture at the A. and M. College of Mississippi, 191 1. Being a natural leader, he was early chosen President of the freshman class at A. and M., during the session 1911-12. After completing the sophomore year, Thomas did not return to A. and M., but took up work in one of the Memphis banks. When war was declared, he had risen to the important position of Assistant Cashier of the Mercantile National Bank, of Memphis, Tennessee. He became connected with the 32d Machine Gun Battalion in the 82d Division, and went overseas early in the war. On May 29, 1918, Lieutenant Seals received a wound which caused his death. It was a loss to all who knew him. Besides a host of friends, Thomas leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Claud Seals, Sr., and two brothers, Scott W. and Claud, Jr. [65] CHARLES KILPATRICK SEAWRIGHT Charles Kilpatrick Seawright, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo- dore J. Seawright, was born in Verona, Mississippi, on November 6, 1894. His earlier days were spent in Verona, where he attended the public schools and high school. Upon graduation from the Verona High School, he entered the course in civil engineering at the University of Mississippi. In the fall of 1917, he entered Mississippi A. and M. College, taking up the course in business administration, which he continued until the spring of 1918, when he volunteered. Being assigned, in May, to the detachment of vocational training at A. and M., he chose training in radio operation. At the close of two months' training here, the detachment moved on to Camp Forrest, at Chattanooga, Tennessee. About the 1st of October he was ordered overseas. While on the way, he died of bronchial pneumonia on board the U. S. George Washington, on the Atlantic Ocean. Another noble, Christian young man gave up his life for his country and the cause of democracy. Besides his parents, Theodore J. Seawright and Lucie K. Seawright, he left an only sister, Miss Theo, to mourn his death. [66] JOSEPH IIISERODT SHARPE » 13 Zkf / ^K ' ■ m ; jm I Joseph Hiserodt Sharpe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis K. Sharpe, of Natchez, Mississippi, was born on October 26, 1896. His early education was received in the public schools of Natchez. He entered the freshman class in agriculture in September, 1913, and applying himself diligently to his work, he graduated in June, 1916. While in school, "Joe," as he was known to his friends, was a leader of no mean ability. He was an active member of the Lee Guards, the Philotechnic Literary Society, and several social clubs. Immediately after the outbreak of the war between the U. S. and Germany, Mr. Sharpe resigned a splendid position with the Rock Island Plow Company, at Rock Island, Illinois, and volunteered his services to Uncle Sam. He entered the Officers' Reserve Corps, at Fort Sheridan. After six months' training there, he transferred to the Aviation Service, in which he was greatly interested. He was stationed at Champaign, Illinois, for his ground school training. His keen intellect, his cheerful optimism, his energy and hard work soon won him advancement and the cordial respect and admiration of the men of the field. Naturally and quickly leaders in the camp developed. Among these were the "Big Five," and "Joey" Sharpe was the moving spirit of these. One of his chums wrote of him: "He was the finest of the fine, and we loved him as a brother." Out of a school of one hundred, he was one of seven to receive their Colonel's recommendation for overseas service. Thrilling with joy and patriotic fervor, he embarked, at New York, September 17, 1917, for Europe and the Great War. He landed in Liverpool on October 3, and was soon assigned to the Royal Flying Corps. While receiving his British ground training, he was stationed at Oxford amid the rich, historic associations of the great university. While billeted in Christ Church College, he was quartered in a room once occupied by William Penn. Doubtless this fact and these asso- ciations were an inspiration to him, and caused him to rededicate his life to the service and the cause of right. By this time the pall of war was pressing hard upon the English [67] people, and the care-worn, war-weary, dejected spirit, which he saw about him, was a source of alarm to him. He feared for the morale of the people, and frequently and continually wrote back to the States: "Send more men, money and munitions, with the greatest dispatch." After completing his work in the ground school, he was sent to Grantham for training in gunnery. From Grantham he was sent to Waddington for finishing, preparatory to going across the Channel and into active service. It was here that he made his last flight on January 7, 1918. His machine was completely wrecked, killing him instantly. As he had always shown great skill in driving his ship, the real cause of the catastrophe which brought his untimely death still remains a mystery which has not been solved by those in charge of the field at Waddington. He was buried with military honors in New Port Cemetery, at Lincoln, England. Thus was cut short a most promising career. Joseph H. Sharpe possessed the qualities of a true and brave soldier. His captain at Waddington wrote of him: "He was one of the keenest pupils that I have ever instructed. He had rare skill combined with modesty and did not know the meaning of the word fear. His loss was a terrible one." [68] PENN SISK Penn Sisk, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Sisk, of Amory, Mississippi, was born on April 18, 1896, in Monroe County, near Amory. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Monroe County and the Amory High School. In September, 1917, he entered the A. and M. College, electing the agricultural course. His interest in his work was very pronounced and of the very best quality. In connection with his studies he was detailed to assist in the cotton breeding experi- ments which were being conducted at the Delta Branch Experiment Station in 1917. During the fall of 1917 Penn enlisted in the Navy at Jackson, and was sent to the Training Station at Norfolk, Virginia. At this station he received his naval training and was transferred to the naval operating base, Hampton Roads, Virginia. Here he contracted cerebro-spinal fever (meningitis), which, after two weeks, claimed his life on February 27, 1918. When a mere youth Penn became a Christian and joined the Method- ist Episcopal Church, South. His love for the truth was very pro- nounced. No nobler sacrifice was claimed by the war than Penn Sisk. He possessed a rare combination of qualities that promised certain success. His character was true to the highest ideals of life, and the purity of his life and the excellent influence he exerted over his fellow students will always be pleasant in the memory of his numerous friends and relatives. His father and mother, two sisters, and two brothers are left to mourn his loss. [69] GEORGE DEWEY SUGDEN George Dewey Sugden was born at Long Beach, Harrison County, Mississippi, on June 14, 1898. One of a family of seven, four boys and three girls, he was raised on a farm and attended the public school at Long Beach, until the death of both parents within fifteen months of each other. Always of a cheerful disposition, he labored under the disadvantage of losing his parental guidance, and proved his sterling character by his work and study while attending the Agricultural High School at Perkinston, Mississippi, where he endeared himself both to his fellow students and teachers. He had pursued his course through the Agricultural High School, antici- pating entering A. and M. College. Accordingly, in September, 1918, he matriculated in the College and was inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps at A. and M. During the epidemic he became a victim of pneumonia, and died October 14, 1918. He was buried at Long Beach, where his parents also rest. He is survived by three brothers and three sisters. He was one of the young men our country could ill afford to lose, and his memory will be fondly cherished by his relatives and many friends, as one of those stars that shine through the clouds and help us on our journey not yet ended. [70] WILLIAM WAVERLY SWEARENGEN William Waverly Swearengen was born at Tillatoba, Missis- sippi, on March 1 , 1 898. His early education was received in the public schools of Tillatoba and the Panola County Agricultural High School, at Courtland. During the summer vacations William engaged in farm- ing, and through his practical knowledge of agriculture, he was enabled to produce fine crops and earn money enough to pay his school expenses during the winter. After graduating from the Panola County Agricultural High School, he became connected with the firm of William Rick & Company, Paducah, Kentucky. His services with this company terminated when he volunteered his services to his country in September, 1918. Having been inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps at the Mississippi A. and M. College, he entered enthusiastically upon his military training which was to fit him for service "over there." Shortly after entering the college he fell a victim to the influenza, which very soon developed into pneumonia, finally claiming his life on October 9, 1918. He was buried in the Batesville cemetery. William Waverly Swearengen was a true American gentleman, devoted to his friends, whom he counted by the score, social and friendly in disposition, and manly in character. He was an active member of the Presbyterian Church. Besides a host of friends, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph N. Swearengen, of Tillatoba, and two sisters are left to mourn his loss. [71] CALEB WHITE TAYLOR, JR. Caleb White Taylor, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Taylor, of Pela- hatchie, Mississippi, was born January 29, 1 896, and died in action on the Belgian Front on the 226. of October, 1918. His early education was obtained in the Pela- hatchie schools. From the high school he graduated with honors. In the fall of 1913 he entered Mississippi A. and M. College, pursuing the course in electrical engineering. In June, 1917, he was grad- uated and at once entered upon a post- graduate course with the General Electric Company, of Schenectady, New York. Soon after the outbreak of the war, C. W. volunteered as Quarter- master in Aviation, at Albany, New York. He was sent to the aero- nautical school at Pensacola, Florida, whence later he was sent to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for training in navigation. He passed in this work with highest grades and was commissioned an Ensign in the Officers' Reserves. He then returned to Pensacola for training in flying sea planes. Learning that this branch of the service would probably not afford him a chance to go "over there," he asked to be transferred to the Marines. With them, he went to Miami for further training. Receiving his commission as Second Lieutenant, he went overseas in July, 1918, for active duty, which he was faithfully performing at the time of his untimely death. Lieutenant Taylor was an observer and bomber for Pilot Lieutenant Harvey B. Norman, of Davenport, Iowa. Their plane was the "D-1 1" of the Day Bombing Wing, North Bombing Group, and these two officers had operated together for three months, making one successful raid after another, displaying pluck, daring, and great courage. On October 22, 1918, with their formation of nine airplanes, they had been over their objective and had bombed it with great success. In returning to their aerodrome, the formation was compelled to pass through thick formations of fog. Lieutenant Norman's airplane became separated from the formation and lost sight of it. Just over the little tillage of Aeltre, Belgium, about 23 kilometers from Bruges, on the Bruges-Ghent canal, this lone plane was attacked by seven Hun planes. Belgians, who witnessed the fight in the air, report that the Americans displayed great skill and courage, but that [721 they were hopelessly outnumbered by the seven enemy planes, who attacked them viciously and brought them down. Belgian soldiers started toward the fallen plane to give what aid they could. Seeing this, the seven Hun planes descended to an altitude of one hundred feet above their victims, and describing circles above them, riddled and splintered the fallen plane with machine gun bullets, effectively detaining the Belgians. When the enemy planes withdrew, the Belgian soldiers recovered the bodies of the two Marine officers and gave them a fitting burial in the cemetery at Aeltre, Belgium. [731 TOM LELAND THOMAS Mr. Thomas was born in Carroll County, Mississippi, on the 16th day of September, 1897. His educational train- ing was received in the Vaiden High School, from which he graduated in May, 1918. Like many of the patriotic young men of this State, Mr. Thomas was anxious to get into the war for democracy against the cruel and despotic Huns. His great ambition to enter the struggle at an earlier date was given up until he was graduated from high school, for he firmly believed that the training in high school that he was receiving would add to his efficiency as a soldier. A few months after his graduation from high school the opportunity to enter the service of his country presented itself, and he joined the army. About the 26th of September he was sent to A. and M. College of his native State for special vocational training. But before he had been there many days the Spanish influenza, which was exacting such heavy toll all over the country from the army, broke out in a violent form and soon he contracted it. In spite of all that the physicians could do for him, Mr. Thomas soon developed pneumonia, and on October 7, 1918, died. Though whatever ambition this young man had to serve his country over there was cut short, yet he richly deserved a place in the hearts of his countrymen with those who fell behind the guns. It was no lack of bravery or patriotism on his part that caused him to die on this side of the ocean rather than on the other side engaged in some spectacular or decisive event. His desire to serve his country unselfishly was equal to that of the boys who sleep in Flanders Field. [74] ASA DEWEY WALKER Dewey Walker was born at Pinola, Simpson County, Mississippi, November 13, 1898. He died of pneumonia, fol- lowing influenza, on October 5, 1918, while a member of the S. A. T. C. at the Mississippi A. and M. College. Early in life Dewey, with his parents, moved to Mount Olive, Mississippi, where he received his elementary educa- tion and training. At the age of thirteen Dewey was converted and joined the Baptist Church of Mount Olive. From that day until his death he lived a clean, unstained life. Manly in appearance, genial in disposition, and happy by nature, with his combination of Christian graces, he was always welcome, always helpful, and loved by all. Wrapped in one of Uncle Sam's most beautiful flags, Dewey Walker was laid to rest in the cemetery at Mount Olive, Mississippi. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Willis Walker, of Mount Olive, five sisters, and two brothers are left to mourn his loss. [75] WILLIAM JOHN WEISSENGER William John Weissenger was born at Shaw, Mississippi, May 20, 1890. He attended the public schools of Hernando in early life and later he was a student for two sessions in Randal University of that town. During the sessions of 1908- 1909 and 1909-1910 he was a student in the engineering school of the A. and M. College. After leaving school Mr. Weissenger became a newspaper reporter. In this work he won an enviable reputation, having served on the staff of such papers as the Commercial Appeal and the Chicago Examiner, and on papers of Toledo and New York. Just before the hostilities broke out between the United States and Germany he was appointed on the staff of the International News Service. Though he was the youngest special writer connected with official Washington, he was assigned the duty of covering the German embassy, and his articles covering the intrigue of Bernstorff and Von Papen will long be remembered by newspaper readers of the country. Soon after the declaration of war with Germany Mr. Weissenger entered the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Meyers. He graduated from that camp and was assigned to a cavalry unit in Texas, with a commission of First Lieutenant. So anxious was he to get to the front that when it was rumored that Uncle Sam would send no cavalry to Europe, Mr. Weissenger immediately applied for a transfer to the aviation section. After some time he was allowed to become an appli- cant for a flying commission. Then he readily gave up the Lieutenant bars and began to strive for an officership in that section that would enable him earlier to see active service. He did his ground school work in the aviation section at Princeton University, and was then ordered to Park Field to finish up his training before going to France. He lacked only three more hours in the air before he would have been commissioned for overseas duty, when the airplane he was in collided with another one, and he fell to his death, July 26, 1918. Mr. Weissenger is survived by his father and mother, six brothers, and one sister. [76J WILLIAM ALEXANDER WHITE William Alexander White was born in West Point, Mississippi, De- cember 5, 1895. His early education was received in the public schools of his native town. He then was a student for two sessions at the Mississippi A. and M. College. Upon leaving the college, he became an employee of the Electric Supply Company, of Memphis, Tennes- see. While in the employ of this com- pany his high merit and faithful service soon won for him promotion to the Chief of the City Sales Department. A few months after the United States entered the war against Germany, Mr. White volunteered his services and was assigned to the Signal Corps, being sent to Charleston, South Carolina, for training. He entered the army to give the best that was in him, and he thought that his services would count more as an aerial observer than in any other field of work. In accordance with his wishes, he was soon sent to the University of Texas to train as a cadet for a commission in this field of work. After completing the theoretical work at the University of Texas, he was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for practical flying and observation. Very soon he was commissioned Second Lieutenant and transferred to Camp Dix, Dallas, Texas, as instructor in radio work. From Dallas, Texas, he was transferred to Self ridge Field, Mt. Clemens, Michigan, where he was given special training in aerial gunning and photography. His great ambition was realized when he was ordered overseas, sailing from Hoboken, New Jersey, on July 14. In France he was rapidly prepared for service on the firing line, being given intensive training in the camps. Early in November he received orders to go to the front. On the I Oth of that month, while there was a heavy fog he and Lieutenant M. Birch went over the enemy lines, and were killed by the enemy. Sometime thereafter his body was found by the Americans at Ion-sur- Meuse, and carried behind the lines for burial. Mr. White's mother, who is a daughter of Judge Bates, of Houston, now lives in Memphis, Tennessee. 177] JOHN RAY WHITESIDE John Ray Whiteside, son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Whiteside, of Okolona, Mississippi, was born on June 13, 1896. His early education was received at the public school of Okolona. He entered the sophomore class in engineering at Mississippi A. and M. College, in the fall of 1915. He continued in college for only a part of the year 1915-16. When the war opened, he joined the Marines, and was assigned to the aviation section. He was given the commission of Second Lieutenant, U. S. M. C. R. F., and went overseas in the summer of 1918. He saw service at the front for some time, just prior to the signing of the armistice. He was pilot of bombing plane D-8, taking part in several raids in the victory of Ghent and Lokren, Belgium. After the close of the war, Lieutenant Whiteside returned to the United States, being stationed at St. Petersburg, Florida, where he lost his life in an airplane accident, on January 23, 1919. His parents, a brother and three sisters reside in Okolona. [78] PERCY MABRAY WILLI FORD Percy Mabray Williford, son of Mr. and Mrs. John V. Williford, was born near Carrollton, Mississippi, Febru- ary 14, 1891. He spent the greater part of his early life at Carrollton, where he received his elementary education. In September, 1 907, he entered the freshman class at the Mississippi A. and M. Col- lege. Unfortunately he was privileged to receive only one year of college training. In 1912 Mr. Williford enlisted in the navy at Vicksburg, Mississippi, aboard the U. S. S. Nebraska. Later he was transferred to the U. S. S. Birmingham and participated in the taking of Vera Cruz, Mexico. In 1915 he was transferred to the U. S. S. North Carolina. On this ship he circled the globe, touching practically all of the important ports of the world. After serving one enlistment of four years Mr. Williford re-enlisted and was faithfully serving his country when an acute attack of pleurisy claimed his life, while his ship lay at anchor at Portsmouth, Virginia, May 29, 1917. His body was sent home for burial and now rests in the cemetery at Carrollton. Mr. Williford was one in whom his friends could confide without fear of disappointment. His very presence meant sunshine and good cheer to his ship-mates. He was very original as is evidenced by his popularity with all the ship's crew. Physically he was near perfect and very powerful. Only distant relatives survive him, but with these the A. and M. College regret the cutting short of a life that offered such a prospective for useful service. [79] JOHN LEMUEL WINDHAM John L. Windham was the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Windham, of Homewood, Mississippi. He was born and reared at Homewood. He attended public school there and at Mize, Mississippi, until 1914, when he entered the freshman class in the school of agriculture at the Missis- sippi A. and M. College. He remained at A. and M. two years, making a great number of friends among the students and faculty. Shortly after war was declared, John L. entered the military service of Uncle Sam, and after success- fully completing his training was sent to France as a member of the 116th Infantry. This regiment took part in several severe drives and from each John L. came out cheerful and smiling. But on the morning of October 15, 1918, the 116th Infantry, in its attempt to go over the top was met with such fierce machine gun fire that several of its members were added to its list of casuals, John L. Windham being among those who died a hero's death with his face to the foe. Death was instantaneous. He was buried near where he fell in the Bois de Causenvoye, about 24 kilometres north of Verdun, east of the Meuse. Mr. Windham was a very bright and industrious young man, pos- sessing an attractive personality and an unselfish heart. The excel- lent influence he exerted over his fellow associates will always be pleasant in the memory of his numerous friends and relatives. His father and mother, seven sisters, and two brothers are left to mourn his loss. [80] A. and M. Service Register A. and M. presents herewith a list of her graduates, undergraduates, and former students who served with the colors during the recent World War. It is an honor roll unique in the history of the institution. An- nually various groups of students are announced, comprising those distinguished for athletic prowess, for scholarship, or for other achieve- ments lauded in the academic world; but this record is for those who in the great World War earned the distinction of having served their country for a mighty cause. It is to be regretted that the list is incomplete. The omissions, however, are unintentional and may be attributed to the difficulty of compiling in their entirety the service records of thousands of former students. Those students whose names are marked * died while in the service. THE ROLL Abbott, E., Jr. Alford, T. S. Anderson, W. H. *Abbott, Grady Allbritton, R. E. Anthony, B. F. Abbott, J. R. Allen, F.

The wife who girds her husband's sword, Mid little ones who weep and wonder, And bravely speaks the cheering word, What though her heart be rent asunder, Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear The bolts of death around him rattle, Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er Was poured upon the field of battle! The mother who conceals her grief While to her breast her son she presses, Then breathes a few brave words and brief, Kissing the patriot brow she blesses, With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weighs upon her Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on Freedom's field of honor! — Thomas Buchanan Reed. 110] The Red Cross BLTHOUGH the women of the A. and M. College have been very few in numbers, their part in the world war has been very con- spicuous, on account of the services rendered.

At the same time, however, academic in- struction is not sacrificed; the men have access to the entire educational equipment of the College, which of course, offers abundant opportuni- ties. On the following roll is recorded the name of each soldier whose wounds or other disabilities incurred in line of duty constitute real vocational handicaps. All are enrolled students at A. and M.

Patterson 135] The State Council of Defense i^\HE operating base of the Mississippi State Council of Defense ^^y from April, 1917, to January, 1919, was at the Agricultural and Mechanical College. Under the guidance of President W. H. Smith, Active Vice-Chairman , and Professor H. 0. Pate, Executive Secretary, the various State and county committees, composed of representatives of various interests of the State, perfected in each county of the State a County Council of Defense composed of the following national war agencies: Speakers' Bureau, Four-Minute Men, Food Administration, Fuel Administration, War Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds, Red Cross, Federal Public Service Reserve, Boys' Working Reserve, Shipbuilding Committee, County Superintendents of Education, County Farm Demonstrators, Home Economics Agents, Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, County Health Officers, The War Benevo- lence Committee, and such other agencies as the County War Con- ference recommended. On account of the lack of funds to defray ex- penses the business of the State Council was carried forward by the clerical force of the Service Bureau of the College. Serving as members of the foregoing National War Agencies, over one hundred and fifty graduates, former students, and faculty members of the A. and M. College rendered valuable service to the Government. [136] The Work of the Experiment Station [0 far as possible without materially interfering with some of the more important experiments under way, the Experiment Station at- tempted a number of short-time projects to obtain information that would be valuable in the economic production of food and feedstuffs. Some of these were investigations of the value of different "waste crops" for emergency cow feeds, of garbage for hogs, of the utilization of the various waste materials for composts, of grazing hogs on different crops, and of grazing steers in corn and velvet bean fields after the grain has been gathered. The results from these projects were given out through the press and in bulletins. In addition to this a great deal of information on other subjects, the result of which had not been pub- lished, was sent out. [137] The Extension Force i|4lTHIN five days after the declaration of war, the Agricultural Vly Extension Service of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College had compiled and submitted to the Federal Government a con- fidential report on the agricultural resources and possibilities of the State of Mississippi. From this time on throughout the war the Extension Service was active in cooperating with the governmental plans and was instrumental in the greater production and wiser con- servation of the food that has been, and is now, feeding the world. The Mississippi Extension Department was thoroughly organized before the war cloud appeared. As a matter of fact, extension work in the State antedates federal extension by about five years. At the outbreak of the war, however, the coordination between Government and State forces was complete and a large, systematic force in the field. The personnel included the director, two assistant directors, nine district directors, field specialists in every phase of modern agri- culture, including specialists in the club work among boys and girls, county agricultural agents and home economics agents in practically every county, twelve emergency agents, and thirty negro agents de- voting their time to work among their own race — a total force of over two hundred skilled workers. When the national "fall in" sounded, this corps went assiduously about the task of furnishing food for the nation's fighters. That the extension activity in this State was of vast importance in supplying this food for the fighting and the civilian armies may be ascertained from a hurried survey of some of the major lines of effort, including the following fields: Crop production, home food production and preservation, live stock projects, insect pest and plant disease control, club work among boys and girls, field instruction and publica- tions. A few words concerning each topic may be of interest. Crop Production: By increased planting and by better methods of cultivation and management, the crop production of Mississippi in- creased during the war period by leaps and bounds. Under the efficient direction of the extension force, idle lands were converted into luxuriant fields; and a comparison between the crop reports for the two years of the war and between the figures for the year immediately preceding the war reveals a satisfactory growth in the production of essential crops. Home Food Production and Preservation: Increased gardening in Mississippi, followed by the careful preservation of the products, under [138] the direction of the home economics extension agents, filled many pantries with vegetables which would have otherwise been lacking. Instruction in the home curing of meats and the conservation of sweets liberated a great amount of food for military purposes. It is interesting to note that honey production in Mississippi increased three-fold during the war. Livestock Projects: Growing and feeding livestock has been making rapid progress in Mississippi for several years, but in 1917 it moved forward with new vigor and enthusiasm. Dairy herds made notable improvements in both quantity and quality, while hogs and beef cattle were put on the market in numbers before unheard of in this or any other State. To accomplish these feats, it was necessary to produce and to store feed for the livestock. The extension force, therefore, was active in having erected in the State a large number of silos and hay lofts. Practically all of the livestock marketed from this State was handled by the county agents. Control of Insect Pests and Plant Diseases: Under the supervision of the extension workers the farmers of the State were able to prevent the usual loss of one-tenth incurred from the damages of insect pests and diseases of plants and animals. Club Worl^ Among Boys and Girls: Although the club work done by boys and girls has been for many years at its best in Mississippi, when the crisis came a special stress was laid upon food production. Among the organizations of the young people which were maintained with great success during the war period are the corn clubs, pig clubs, tomato clubs, poultry clubs, livestock clubs, gardening clubs, and many others. These clubs are still in operation and will continue their work under the direction of the extension force. Field Instruction: Field instruction was given by the members of the extension corps at every opportunity. Meetings held for this purpose were well attended; and every demonstration was one of practical value to the farmers or their families. More than 50,000 demonstrations in some phase of agriculture or home economics were given in Mississippi during the war period. Publications: From time to time the extension service published and sent free to the residents of this State press circulars, letters, and bulletins, all of which contained timely information relative to the advancement of agriculture, from the standpoint of producing and of marketing. These publications were offered to the newspapers of the State, by which method the department carried its message into virtually every home of Mississippi. [139] "Stay in School" OURING the early days of the war there were college authorities throughout the land who seemed to have been in doubt as to just what course would be best for the educational institutions to follow. A careful survey of the situation in Europe was sufficient to indicate very conclusively the wisdom of maintaining the activities of the Mississippi A. and M. College with the utmost vigor, of course, readjusting things to meet war emergency. A few quotations from the lips of those who were in a position to see, hear, and know the importance of education in war may assist in clearing the minds of those who felt awkward in school while many of their fellowmen were billeted in dug-outs "somewhere in France." These statements were made after war was declared. President Woodrow Wilson said: "There will be need for a larger number of persons expert in the various fields of applied science than ever before. Such persons will be needed both during the war and after its close. I would particularly urge upon the young people who are leaving the high schools that as many of them as can do so avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the colleges and technical schools, to the end that the country may not lack an adequate supply of trained men and women." Major-General Leonard Wood said: "Boys should remember that they are now serving in the best possible way by preparing themselves to serve more efficiently when the time comes It is a great mistake for partly educated young boys to rush to the colors now. We don't need them. It is very important that they should finish their edu- cation." Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, said: "The War De- partment is especially anxious not to disturb unduly the educational systems of the country I think we ought all to adopt as the daily maxim of our talk and our activity that the country shall make every sacrifice necessary to bring our force to bear in the most effective way, but that we ought to preserve the country for the common good against every unnecessary dislocation and against every unnecessary abridge- ment of the processes of our common life. "I think you ought to have as an especial object the urgent invi- tation to young men of America to come into your technical schools and devote themselves to engineering branches of education; so that when [140] this war is over the struggle will not have been in vain; so that young men can quickly and efficiently play a part in that reconstruction. " Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, said: "The demand for engineers will be greater after the war than ever before in the history of the world. Engineering students should stay at their posts and not go into active service at the front until after they graduate. We shall be very foolish if we do not keep our engineering institutions, at least, up to the highest efficiency." Colonel S. E. Tillman, Superintendent West Point Military Academy, said: "Only the most urgent conditions should withdraw any boy from school. In justice to the Government as well as themselves, they should finish their courses." Under the date of May 22, 1917, there was sent out from the office of the Commissioner of Education, Washington, D. C, a circular letter in which Commissioner Claxton said: "England, France, Italy, and the Central Empires have thrown into battle a very large per cent of their educated and trained men, in- cluding most of the young professors and instructors in their uni- versities, colleges, gymnasia, lycees, and public schools. Their colleges and universities are almost empty. "A right conception of patriotism should induce all students who cannot render some immediate service of great value to remain in college, concentrate their energies on their college work, and thus be all the more ready and fit when their services may be needed, either for war or for the important work of reconstruction and development in our own and other countries when the war shall have ended. "No college, university, or technical school that can avoid it should permit its faculty or student body to be scattered or its energy to be dissipated. All should redouble their energies and concentrate them upon these things which will prepare their students for the most effective service for their country and for the world when the war is over. "The desire to render immediate service is praiseworthy, and the spirit which prompts it should be fostered, but it is effective service that finally counts. Schools and school officers, teachers and students should ever keep this goal of effective service in mind." [141] Changes in Curriculum GROIN/I the very first it was seen that the curricula of the colleges and universities of the land would have to undergo some alter- ations, in some instances reconstructed altogether, in order that no time might be lost in equipping the students to meet the more practical problems that war conditions would give rise to. Thus during the momentous spring of 1917, when a large number of America's leading colleges and universities were using a great deal of newspaper space to advise the public of their broomstick drill and shirt-sleeve calisthenics, A. and M., with its four-year course in military science and tactics, was, as she had been for over a quarter of a century, turning out trained military men to command the khaki-clad men of "Uncle Sam." The military department at A. and M. is as old as the College itself, so when the crisis came, military instruction became the most popular course in the curriculum. Interest and enthusiasm were high; the result of course is clear — better military men and better citizens. In the spring of 1917, the R. 0. T. C. unit was established and it attracted a very large number of students. This unit was later, October 1, 1918, known as the S. A. T. C, and the S. N. T. C, but on December 1, 1918, reverted to its original form, the R. 0. T. C. During the summer of 1918 the entire curriculum was changed. Several hundred men comprising special units were sent here by the War Department for special instruction in technical engineering sub- jects. Thus the entire College was transformed into an army training camp. Not only were the engineering departments readjusted to meet the needs of the nation, but likewise the numerous other depart- ments swung into line. Since the successful close of the war the College has resumed its pre-war program with such changes as would tend to make the insti- tution more serviceable to the citizens of the State, the citizens of the United States, and the citizens of the world. 1142] The Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College was chartered by the Legislature of the State of Mississippi, February 28, 1878. The doors of the institution were formally opened to the white youth of the State, October 6, 1 880. Since the opening of the Mississippi A. and M. College 13,016 indi- viduals have received residence instruction in the various departments. Of this number 51 per cent, or 6,562 were on active duty with the naval and military forces of the United States and the Allies during the World War. 1,500 degrees have been conferred on 1,449 persons — 1,432 men and 1 7 women. During the thirty-nine sessions the College has been in operation — in- cluding the present session, 1919-1920 — the average annual attendance has been 817 students. The following figures show the number of graduates, undergraduates, and ex-students of the Mississippi A. and M. College who took an active part in the World War.
