Harry Earl Mclvor IX dedicating this page to the memory of Harry Earl Mclvor, the Class of 1920 wishes to express its keen sense of loss at the death of an alumnus who stood for all that is highest in ideals and devotion to the best traditions of Purdue. He was known personally to many of our members and not a few served under him in the Purdue Battery on the Mexican Border in 1916. Harry Earl Mclvor was born in South Bend, Indiana, August 25, 18S8, and came to Purdue in 1909 from Ft. Wayne High School, graduating with the Class of 1913, in Electrical Engineering. Immediately after his graduation he accepted the position of Purchasing Agent of the University, and remained in this capacity until he entered the army at the beginning of the war, serving as Major of Field Artillery. After his discharge in January, 1919, he devoted himself to his oil interests in Oklahoma, and had returned for a short visit to his parents at South Bend when he was stricken with his fatal illness, and died October 15, 1919. As a student he attained high honors, being elected President of the Purdue Y. M. C. A., and being a member of Eta Kappa Xu. Scabbard and Blade, and Tau Beta Pi honorary fraternities. His loyalty to Purdue and his high ideals of service to his country, his University and his friends are fit examples for the emulation of all future generations of Purdue students. Page Fourteen
