(General 3ol)n3» p(trsi)inQ 93 (tommanbar of tl)e marlcan Armies lit Tiuropc (leneral Persliing was Cf)mniaiulant of llit- cadet battalion at tlic L ' nivtrsity of Ne- braska in the years 1S91-95. He graduated from the Uni crsit ' of Neljraska, college of law, in 1893. A high degree oi enthusiasm and etticiency marked the military depart- ment of the University during the years he was at its head. The Pershing Rifles, an honorary organization open to students having the best records in military training, was instituted in his honor and has continued since he was commandant. General Pershing was born in Lirin county, Missouri, September 13, 1860, and grad- uated from West Point in 1886. His military career includes service against the Apache Indians in Arizona, 1886, and in the Sioux War, 1890-1 ; in the Santiago campaign, Cuba, 1898; in the Philippines, 1899-1903; as military observer with the Japanese army in Manchuria, 1905 ; commander department of Mindanao in the Philippines from 1906 to 1913, and of U. S. troops in Mexico, 1916. His sisters, Mrs. David M. Butler and Miss May Pershing, live in Lincoln. His only son, ' arren, seven years old, lives with them. The name Pershing was originally spelled Pfirsching. The family came from Alsace- Lorraine to America about a century ago. General Pershing is therefore fighting on the borders of his ancestral fatherland for America and the world in the present war.
