Its thirty-eight members include all college men who have served in the armed forces. Many have seen overseas duty, and most are Korean War veterans. One of the most important club activi- ties is the Veterans convocation held this year on November 9. The vets completely took charge of the program, presenting the colors and honoring award winners. Especially hon- ored was Garrett Nelson, who received the Navy Unit Citation. Another project of the veterans has been a scholarship fund.
