It is in this case a pleasant duty and a proud privilege to express to Captain Corse, by the dedication of The Bomb OF 1917, the appreciation on the part of the alumni and of the Corps of Cadets of his invaluable service to the Institute.

Having been appointed to the highest governing body of the Institute, at a time in the history of the Institute when the old order of things was changing, and when demands for much needed reforms were in the air. Captain Corse set about the many arduous tasks which fell to his lot with that same conscientious regard for duty and self-sacrificing interest which have crowned all h is efforts with success, whether in municipal affairs, in private business or in Institute matters. Fortunately for him as well as for his Alma Mater, he found associated with him on the Board a group of men imbued, as he was, with a love for the Institute and a desire to see her grow and progress academically and materially.
