Once again we join hands for something far more important than all those before us. Yes-the Aggies are allied for a new campaign. A fight to the end so that those things we have all put aside temporarily, may be dusted off and shined again. You are the true Knights of the present age. Aggies who remain on board shattered ships until the last boat, loaded to the water's edge with passengers and crew, has parted from the sidep and then go calmly down with her into the mysterious depths of the ocean.

This is for you, every Aggie in any branch of fighting. lt your job is peeling potatoes instead of loading the big guns-that's all right with us. You're doing your best Where you are, and that's all that really matters. Toward the end of this volume there is a section listing the names of former students in the Service
