1920 X , NEW STUDENT SECRETARY COMES TO MILWAUKEE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Feeling the need of a Student Y. M. C. A. within the school, the students of the School of Engineering recently made a request to the Board of Di- rectors of the Milwaukee Association for a student secretary to help them to establish such an organization. The city association has been most fortunate in securing in the person of Frederick Foster Snow, a man who is ideally fitted for this work. Mr. Snow, after graduating in 1906 from the College of Music at Syracuse Uni- versity, spent two years of advanced study in Italy. Returning to this coun- try in 1909, he won a strong reputation as director of music in Boston, New York and Cumberland, Maryland. When the war broke out, Mr. Snow was called to Camp Custer where he served for six months as director of entertainment. Because of his splendid success in this work, he was sent early in 1918 to Italy to organize similar work for the Italian Armies. On his way, when about a day out of Holly- head, Wales, the Oransa on which he sailed, was torpedoed and sank in twelve minutes. Later he reached London and Paris, at the time when the air raids were at their height, finally arriving at Genoa, where the first three months were spent with the American army. For his valiant service during the Italian offensive on the Piave, Mr. Snow was awarded the Italian War Cross and was recommended for the Cavalicre Corona D’ltalia. He also received the personal commendation of the Minister of War. Since the Armistice, through his untiring energy and skillful organization, in spite of the unfavorable feeling toward America, he has won a strong place in the hearts of the Italian soldiers. In speaking of his success, one of the officers writes: “Mr. Snow’s relations with the army commands in all the posts of the Milan territory have been ideal. The programs he has brought to the army have been excelled by none in Italy and the response has been exceptional.” Another writes, “His faithful efforts in the Milan region for the past eighteen months especially stands out as one of the bright spots in the work of entertaining the soldiers.” Mr. Snow is a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.
