With the growth of American participation in the greatest of all conflicts, has come ever increasing casualty lists. Every section of the country, every state is included. Each time the supreme sacrifice seems to have been made by someone nearer home. Friends have fallen at Chateau Thierry, at Soissons, along the Vesle, and even in the camps of this country. The University has lost many sons; not only graduates, but classmates, students whom we have lived and worked with, comrades whom we have contested and competed with, men whom we now mourn with mingled feelings of sorrow and admiration.

Richard Norton '92, headed the American Volunteer Corps working for the St. John's Ambulance Association (British), with headquarters near Howard Beal, M. '98, heads...
...Cercle Francis" last evening added another success to an already long list by the presentation of Le Chateau Historique in Jordan Hall. The choice of the comedy of Bisson and Berr de Turrique was a happy one, for the characters are not too subtle for adequate interpretation and the action is sprightly. The authors have contrived their intrigue with skill; the dialogue is interesting, if not brilliant, and the staging simple. The "Cercle" was fortunate in the co-operation of Mme. Baldensperger, whose impersonation of the somewhat ungrateful role of Marguerite Boudoin, the sentimental wife of the practical Gaston...
