...Well, Copey, my twin brother was killed in France last week. You never knew him because he went to Yale, but he was a fine fellow. He would have been manager of the football team there last fall if he had stayed in college, and he was president of Scroll and Keys when he left for France. That is not an infallible proof that he was all right, but it shows what his own class thought of him, and you can take my word for it anyway, that you don't meet a man of his ability and kindness...

But he also finds at work a new spirit, leading away from the mechanical German methods of literary study towards the French academic standard which inculcates respect for the human in man. His fellow-countryman, confining his attention to the undergraduate, finds our young men animated by a great loyalty of spirit, an absolute confidence in a favorite instructor, which argues well for the morale of our new army. He finds, more-over, an almost exaggerated eagerness for exactness and precision in details, which...
...days we are going to the front. Wish us luck. We are still only half-trained, for we have had no machine gun work, but I believe we are to be given some shooting at another school where we get the latest type of machines, each fellow...
