It is indeed a fact that these boys who gave their lives will be remembered at Tech as long as Tech is in existence, because they displayed the true American spirit—that spirit which ever rises when questions of war and human rights or problems that concern the national unity, dignity, and honor confront our people. To the families of these, our honored dead, who thus sacrificed their education, their careers, and their lives in the great struggle for freedom in the World—the Thistle extends the utmost sympathy. Every effort has been made to compile a complete list of those of our men who lost their lives while in the service of their country. And yet we realize that among the hundreds who have graduated from the Institute and who “served’' during the war, there must necessarily be a few who made the supreme sacrifice and whose names we have missed. They are in our thoughts and the memory of them is truly as sacred to us as of those whose records we have published. The Editors 1919
