Abhrrfifl By President Sills The reading of these familiar names in this place and at this time is far more elo- quent th...an any formal memorial address. Yet since this service would be strangely in- complete and cold were no words of gratitude uttered, I ask you to think with me for a few minutes what discipline of self, what sacrifice, what love of country we here honor. Every one of these men whether in glorious combat on the field or in the dread routine of duty in camp died with his face to the foe, expressing in that final act the noblest tradition of the College. "They would be free or die," not only because they were American citizens, but because they had learned here their kinship with the heroes of the past and their obligation to keep the heritage that had been so richly won for them.
