MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 11 sergeant with such joUy persistency that not only were the blues driven out of him, but the spirit and morale of the entire command restored. His last service was at Fort Clark, Texas, where he was so seriously affected by the climate that his retirement was imperative; indeed, his condition was so serious that an army surgeon, after a careful examination, informed him that he was incurable. Here, however, the sand showed itself again. The surgeon told him that the record showed no instance of recovery in a case like his. Anderson ' s reply was: Every record can be broken and I propose to beat this one; and he did, as his physical and mental condition fully proves. His service as a member of the faculty of the Massachusetts Agricul- tural College is well known. He put into it, as he did into everything he undertook, the best that was in him. At present he is on recruiting duty with headquarters at New Haven, Connecticut, and sub-stations at Hartford, Bridgeport and Stamford. He is hale, hearty, cheery ; always serious of purpose, but with an unfailing sense of humor, and abounding in a dry and sometimes caustic wit. Long may he continue a living type of the patriotic American citizen and the true-hearted ' ' sandy ' ' American soldier. .6fe.
