During the Spanish-American War, there were 401 University men in active service, according to Mr. W. G. Brown '90, and of these 11, or 2.7 percent, died in the service. It is interesting to note that 10 of these 11 deaths were due to typhoid fever, and one was due to an accident. None were caused even indirect Total number of University men in armies and navies of the United States and her allies, 6,500 Died in service, 226 Total number of University men in auxiliary war service, 2,664 Died in service...

For the truth is, that the world has reached that stage in political development at which it is proper to consider and put into practice a more rational means of settling international disputes than by the accustomed resort to arms. To the intellectually timid this seems such a daring and impetuous leap from the secure confines of precedent, over the chasm of unfathomable disaster, to the safe but somewhat precarious region...
