1 O L A i kr u I5l)e arKDepartmeutl of l e Mlontlcola HE MoNTicoLA, like other institutions and activities of merit, does not escape being influenced by the great world war; nor indeed does the Monticoi.a desire to be immune from being affected by the great struggle. Since the war had to come, and since the United States has taken up arms for Dcnioeraey and it is now our war the Monticola is glad to be touched by the war. West Virginia University ' s part in the war has been no mean part. Turn through the pages of this war department of the Monticola and read our honor roll of students at the front, note the starred names everywhei ' e throughout the book in its other departments, .stars representing service men, go about our Univei-sity buildings and .see our numerous service flags bearing mute but glorious testimony of the bravery of West Virginia University men and you will have abundant reason for our war department of the Monticola. This new opportunity to show an added honor to our boys at the front, and not because of the mere timeliness of the war as a current historical fact is the real motive for publishing our war department. The makers of the Monticola feel that the engravings and the articles which go to make up this part of the book add ma- terially to the value of the ] Ionticola. They feel also, with all true dwellers among mountains, that this war department will be one of the most cherished sections of the 1919 Monticola, and that when YOU turn these pages it can be known and re- membered with pride that our boys did not fail at the call. With this aim in view the 1919 Monticola presents its war department. i - • r 1
