ANOTHER UNIVERSITY ALUMNUS IN SERVICE Cecil Brearley Joins Fighting Quartermasters at Camp Johnson. It will interest his many friends to learn the where abouts of Cecil Brearley. Harry Brearley .made several efforts to break into the army for ac tive service, and, knowing their spirit, it would not sur prise any of their old collegians to hear that both of them get "a place in the picture near the flashing of the guns" before this war is over. In a private letter to a friend, dated "Sup ply Co. No. 311, Block C., Camp Joseph E. Johnston, Jackson ville, Fla.," Cecil Brearley writes: "No doubt you will be sur prised to hear from me at this time, but the unexpected some times happens in times of war. You always considered me a peaceful subject and when you hear that I have joined the "fighting quartermasters" you will probably wonder what will happen next. "I was engaged in army Y. M. C. A. ivork from the time school closed last June until November. My conscience be gan to prick me and I became dissatisfied, so the latter part of November I enlisted for regular duty. Just at present we are preparing for overseas duty-we are expecting to leave here in about two weeks." GREAT EASTER WEEK FOR UNIVERSITY MEN (CONTINUED FIROM P'AG ON .) roses. The other maids were: Misses Sarah Carter, Gladys Heirs, Aline Bethea and Mary Smith. All of them dressed in Easter costume, made a charm ing impression upon their "sub jects." After a very appropriate ad dress, I)r. Currell placed the crown upon the queen's head. This was followed by a recep tion which lasted until 11 o'clock. During the evening refreshments were served to the many merry-makers. The 200 or 300 guests in cluded the faculty, members of the alumni of the university, the students of both girls' col leges--Chicora and Columbia --and many town people. F. M. Strock, 1). 0. Winter, J. C. Hill, and H. E. Wessinger are in the infirmary with the mumps. J. G. Simms and Rob ert Creighton have recently been discharged from the in firmary. UNIVERSITY UNFURLS LARGE SERVICE FLAG (CONTINUtr) FROM P.E ONE.) ten mapors, 36 captains, 68 first lieutenants, 90 second lieu tenants, 57 non-commissioned officers, three assistant paymas ters, one ensign and 155 pri vates. Mr. McMaster's Address. Mr. McMaster's address in part follows: Lightly we may say that we are here today to unfurl this service flag and do honor to those represented by the stare upon its field. Did our purpose end there, our time would be wasted, and our presence a mockery. Indeed, we stand in reflected glory. Those whom these stars represent have hon ored themselves and us far be yond our power to increase or lessen. "'This not what a man does which exalts him, but what a man would do." "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." This they have offered to do -to lay down their lives foi you, for me, for humanity. "That the world under God shall have a new birth of free. dom, and that the government of the people, by the peoplE and for the people shall noi perish from the earth." Dedication of Ourselves. And, paraphrasing again the language of a great American we fall far short of the houi and our duty if we do not her( today dedicate ourselves unre. servedly and wholly to the cause which they represent and here highly resolve to la3 our all upon the altar of our country, which, with our allies now stands for the liberty o1 the human race. As the sturdy patriot Samue Adams said in 1776, "Courag( then, my countrymen," our con test is not only whether we our selves shall be free but whethei there shall be left to mankinc an asylum on earth for *civi and religious liberty. Dismiss therefore, the justice of oui cause as incortestible. Th< only question is what is best foi us to pursue in our present cir cumstances.. As France fought with us fo our liberty in 1776, so we mus fight wvith her for her libert: and our own today on her soil And while in body all of u may not stand with Gen. Persh ing before the grave of La Fayette, in spirit, unreservedl; and wholeheartedly, we may shout with him: "Lafayette Lafayette, we are here, we ar< heore !"
