...outbreak of the War, which he had long before foreseen, he was appointed to command the Second Army in Lorraine and in that capacity became the "heros de Nancy". Not only that, but by his brilliant offensive against Crown Prince Rupprecht's Army (the same Prince who is now virtually King of Bavaria) he undoubtedly (in the opinion of eminent military critics) made possible the famed Marne victory. Later General de Castelnau reorganized the defense of Verdun at a time when the Germans had almost smashed it. In the space of a few days, he inspired the dispirited troops...

It is a loss that can only be estimated in light of the brilliant performances of his all too short life. In the end that very virtue which was the cause of his phenomenal rise from a newsboy in two streets of Minneapolis to President of three of our largest universities was the cause of his death. Even his tremendous athletic frame could not stand the strains he placed upon it. Work was his idol, his mettle, and finally his master...
