...living from the original 436,000 in service from 1898 to 1902, I will tell you. We are of 100% voluntary service, every man a soldier in his heart as well as body. We have about 100,000 in the organization and are growing at the rate of about 10,000 a year. No other organization of any war ever had over one-fifth of their eligibles, and we have better than one of every three living.

For during the summer, these two old dormitories have been the victims of the carpenter's hammer and the plasterer's tools, in the University's campaign to amelio-rate the living conditions of the students. The process of renovation has been thorough. New hardwood floors, a feature of the remodeling program, have replaced the worn boards that used to creak with the footsteps of the great.
