Men of the Culver Legion B 5 were to be found well to the fore on every front, in the position for which Culver 5 5 .had prepared them-that of command. Indeed, Culver has a well incomparable V bf- record in respect to that word ''command''-practically fifty per cent o-f her ' men in the service are commissioned officers. The actual figures Ctaken from '4 , Q the report of the Culver Legion corrected to the first day of Nlay, 19195 are 6. 'even more astonishing. We had then in the Army and Marine Corps, 3 graduates fi: serving as colonels, 4 as lieutenant-colonels, 47 majors, 119 captains, 197 first , f, lieutenants, 215 second lieutcnants, and 146 non-commissioned o-fficers. The Navy ji 1 list, while not so large, shows an equal percentage of commissions. with 1 lieuten- j- j ant-commander, 9 lieutenants, Junior grade, 22 ensigns, and 9-petty officers. , ' There have been enrolled in the great World Wa.r, 1,269 o-ld Culver Men and ' 1 Academy officers, o-f whom 617 held commissions a.nd 155 no-n-commissioned,ofIi- si ces. Thus, of that total there were but 407 privates, only 30 per cent, while the - remaining 70 per' cent held an office of some kind. Does not that speak well ' Q for the invaluable Culver training? A V ' Q The pre-eminent consideration of the Culver Legion has been to bring good Q- i cheer and news to the men who so willingly left everything behind, to- speed -5 i across the seas at a moment 's notice. The Culver Legion has stood by its members Q ,' through their every move, has followed them overseas and back again with letters ' and, what was perhaps even more welcome, the Vedette-bringing them back each day to the old assoc1a.tions and friendships, giving information of other Culver Men in the service, and thus bringing about many happy little reunions in camp and at the front. - The Legion has done its work well-has a.ided nobly in this grea.t conflict- ! and is no-w about to crown it all with the finest school Memorial Hall in the 1 country, a Hall which shall stand for ages as a lasting monument to the prowess and achievements of the Culver Legion in Service-but not as an o-rnament. No, - it expresses too much the spirit of the Legion--service. It will forever perpetuate the memo of the Men of the Le ion who not onl wore the khaki but fou ht . . .
