White, in 1918, will be wedded to his childhood sweetheart, Miss Sullivan. Shortly thereafter, he will he offered the position of Embassador to Germany.

I am of the confident belief, however. that when the members of the class of ill begin saying their farewells to this ephemeral life, the world will point to them with just pride, and say: K They made the world a better place?
