lington railroad; Amos G. Warner, '85, author of American Charities, still the standard treatise on that subject; Sarah Harris Dorris, '88; Julia M. Korsmeyer of the department of Romance languages; Dr. Howard T. Ricketts, '94, noted physician, a victim of his own typhoid investigations—we might go on selecting names from every class. The alumni who have given their lives in the great war that has just been brought to a close died, as they lived, reflecting honor on their Alma Mater.
As we emerge from the great world conflict into an age of peace and reconstruction, the alumni find themselves represented by two men at the peace gatherings at Versailles,—General John J. Pershing, '93, Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary forces, and Dr. William Linn Westermann, '94, of the University of Wisconsin, historian.
I realize that I have but barely touched here and there the records of the thousands of alumni who represent our Alma Mater. To the many deserving, yet unmentioned, there still remains the satisfaction of service well done. With every alumnus there rests the duty of building up an alumni association that will more fully reflect the work accomplished by our great alumni body.
Annis S. Chaikin,
Secretary of the Alumni Association.
