o= DEDICATION A dedication is a proud thing. It is an expression of gratitude and devotion, of friendship and admiration, and, above all, of inspiration. It was they, our men in the service, who inspired this book. They were our schoolmates, our brothers, our friends, and they left us the work of carrying on. We feel that in a small way this book has justified their trust in us. Fairmont College is proud of her sons. In the Phillipines, at Guadalcanal, in Africa, in England and Australia, and in our own America they have proved themselves valiant Americans. Their college feels gratefully humble that she has had a share in shaping the characters and spirits of the defenders of our nation.
