Eugene D. Bronstein, former graduate student here, was killed in an air raid near Brunetta while fighting with the Spanish Loyalist forces last July, it was revealed recently.
Other graduates serving with the leftists in Spain are: Griffin B. Washburn '35, Joseph Seigal '38, Saul Friedberg, who graduated from the Law School in 1936, and Milton Weiner of the graduate school.
