NORMAN PRINCE

The world admires the pioneer type of man. Although many who follows the paths of the first explorers make greater discoveries and personal gains, the everlasting fame of being leader in new fields of danger rests with the pioneer. Such a pioneer was Norman Prince whose courage and daring have doubly assured him a place among the heroes of this great struggle. When aviation was considered in this country as merely a sport for circus acrobats, Norman Prince foresaw the ultimate possibilities of the game, and made it his profession. At the outbreak of the European. War his pioneer spirit of bravery and sacrifice led him to organize a little band of nine aviators. As the leader of these first volunteers he made an enviable record in serving a cause which he considered worthy of his every effort. No trial of physical courage or mental bravery dismayed this pioneer. He derived strength and encouragement from his utter devotion to an ideal.

University and country can pay him one tribute: "He died a hero."
