Coeds find Honor Roll cases onor lgof ollafa ,mad ingfonb jigkfing en The names of approximately 2530 Washington Uni- versity former students and faculty members known to be in service have been listed in a War Service Honor Roll by the university News Bureau. ln addition to those serving with the armed forces of the United States, the roll bears the names of members of the Royal Canadian Field Artillery, Royal Air Force, British Ferry Command, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Army Medical Corps, and of the famous Flying Tigers, the American Volunteer Group. VV'hen the Honor Roll was dedicated by Chan- cellor Throop on October 19, the list filled only one of the specially designed frames, but now it has grown so that it fills three oak frames mounted on the wall of Ridgeley Arcade. A revised list is placed in the frames monthly. The honor roll includes representatives of the classes from 1904 to 1947 with the oldest man on the roll being Major Iohn C. Pritchard, B. S. E. E., '04. Contributing the largest number of men to the service is the class of 1942 with 214 of its members in uniform while the class of 1941 ranks second. About 400 students who left school before graduating are from the classes of 1944, 1945, 1946 and a few of the freshmen entering at mid-year, class of 1947, are also in the service. The roll includes twenty-two students who have been killed in line of duty and eleven who are listed either as prisoners or as missing in action. Listed also are the names of 158 faculty members now in service, two of whom have been killed in action. Miss Virginia Betts, of the News Bureau, is in charge of compiling the list.
