UNIVERSITY'S HEROES EXTOLLED

"A hero gives a gift not only for a cause, but also for humanity," President Lowell said at the service in Appleton Chapel yesterday afternoon in commemoration of the 19 University men who have lost their lives in the European war, and in recognition of those men who are still engaged in various branches of activity in that war. "If these men see us here now they will appreciate it, for we owe them our gratitude and our respect. They have done a great thing, and we shall be the better for it. This influence which they have had will never perish, but always be remembered by the men of the University."

Another short address was given by Major Henry Lee Higginson '55. In his speech he extolled the spirit, the bravery and the sacrifice of the men who gave their lives for a cause in which they thoroughly believed. He instanced several experiences in the Civil War to show the heroic character of a soldier who gives up his life in battle. He said, "These men have performed a great sacrifice. They fought because they loved freedom and hated oppression. Our country mourns the loss of their lives."

An anthem was sung by the choir and Professor Moore read the names of the 19 graduates who have been killed. About 200 members of the University attended the service.
