In Flanders Fields By Li kit. OciL. .foils' 1 . M 'K, r. (Written durinn the Aeeond battle of Yprti, April, 1915. The author. Hr. John I). MeCrac, of Montreal. Canada, tea killed on duty in Flandfr t, January tS, I91S.) IN FLANDERS fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on cow. That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you from falling hands we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

1919 Debris The University Service Flag FEELING that sonic definite recognition should l e taken of the men of the University who had entered the service, the members of the Purdue Girls' Club voted tlic money necessary for the purchase of the University Service Flag. A committee of four, consisting of the presidents of the girls of the four classes, conferred with Miss Laura Fry of the Art Department. She conceived the idea of having all the men represented by the one large blue star, under this star being the letters I’. U. and the numeral , for the number of men enlisted. Early in March of 1918 this Service Flag was dedicated at a special convocation. Hazel Miller. 'iS. chairman of the committee, presented the flag to President Stone in behalf of the Purdue Girls’ Club. As the President received the flag it was pulled to its present | osition over the pipe organ, in Fowler Hall, by two Purdue men in uniform. At the time of dedication the total number of men enlisted was fourteen hundred, while the gold stars numbered three. Since then the number of enlisted men has increased to four thousand, and fifty-two gold stars have taken their places on the white field. Thus it was that the Purdue Service Flag came to be. with the hope that it might remain through the future years as a reminder of the patriotism and sacrifice of Purdue men. I A«K TWM.VI! .
