Dedicatory. LITTLE more than a year ago, our university, our state and our country were plunged into excitement by the news of war. A peace of over fifty years, with foreign nations, had been broken. The American sword, already thrice drawn in the name of freedom and humanity, by our fathers before us, was again unsheathed against the foe of tyranny and oppression. Our beloved nation was enveloped in war. The strength and fibre of our young republic was to be put to test. The call to arms was sounded from every city, vil- lage and hamlet in our broad land. The patriotic response came. From every walk of life and field of industry, leaders and followers presented themselves. Citizen rulers, members of the learned professions, merchants, laborers, the great student body of the colleges and universities of our land, all vied with each other in their devotion to country and its righteous cause. Scattered throughout this great army of patriots, united as one by love of country, were one hundred and twenty-five of the best and most respected members of our university. From the quiet and repose of college life they went forth to the din and roar of battle. Once students of the arts of peace, now valiantly moving to the martial strains of war. Some sailed to distant lands and a savage foe, others won warriors ' fame in the splendid victories of land and sea in southern climes, while still others, none the less heroic, eagerly waited in camp for a call to the battle ' s front. Of this brave number some have returned to us safely. Thanks be to the valor of American arms, we unite with the nation in giving them a warrior ' s welcome. Time shall not come when they are unremem- bered, or when we shall fail to greet them with the victor ' s song. But others of them have not returned. They sleep, some in lands far from home, filling the humble but sacred graves of those who have given their life for their country. To these fallen heroes of our number, whose blood has made more priceless the gift of liberty and carried its blessings to races and peoples to whom hitherto its name was unknown, to the memory of these, in grateful remem- brance of their valiant living and heroic death, this volume is affectionately inscribed by the senior class of their Alma Mater, in the hope that, wherever it may go, it may serve to commemorate the brave deeds of these sons of Michigan and nation ' s heroes.
