E. at Ole Miss have as an heritage the grand and glorious traditions of the Old South, with its slumberous atmosphere and its jovial life-moving as though there was a pe- rennial existence for those who labored here. There was peace and prosperity in our southlandg but out of the shadows there came the rumblings of war, and from the fields and hamlets of our sunny Dixie our heroes came, offering their all for ideals handed down to them by their forefathers. Ole Miss, with its University Grays, made its contri- bution to this, our cause, and for four years closed its doors. Yet, no sooner than the hate and wrath of battle had ended the remnant of this once proud and mighty band began its work of reconstruc- tion. and. today, the Alma Mater of you and me, and of those illustrious sons who offered their all in the bloody days of '61, stands as an uncrowned memento to their undying devotion and zeal. Upon a foundation of ruin these noble followers of the Stars and Bars builded a greater life, and it is to their memory that we would call your attention in this little volume and ask you to consider the story that is written here as the result of their tireless labor.
