The Series was begun to honor his father, the late C.P. Roland, who served Freed- Hardeman in various capacities for many years. Dr, Roland, author of several books in- cluding The lmprobable Era: The South Since World War II, gave his personal remi- niscences of World War ll. His title was A Citizen Soldier Remembers World War ll. From an inducted private to a captain, he served through the climactic moments of the war in Europe, including the Battle of the Bulge. I did nothing heroic, he said, unless being there in and of itself was heroic. His memories included the trivial, the poi- gnant, and the harshest cruelties of war. He remembered soldiers singing Pm Walking the Floor over You. He told of sailing on the Queen Mary, a fellow passenger with Winston Churchill, and he told of months spent in a foxhole with temperatures reach- ing 17 degrees below zero. When he returned to the States in 1945, Roland said, he was vastly and permanent- ly changed, but only dimly aware of how much the world had changed. The college plans to make the Roland Lecture an annual series. This year's ad- dress was sponsored by the F-HC Depart- ment of History and Political Science and the West Tennessee Historical Society.
