The senior years containvery few men eligible for mili-tary service. The freshmen re-main only a year or two, tillihey reach the military age, and then enlist. For this wethank God and take courage; the heart of our young manhoodbeats true. Many of these men have gone from the University neverto return. Some of them have been deflected from theirearlier purpose by the wedge of war driven rudely into theirlife. Others will return to conditions so altered that they willfind it impossible to resume the plans which were so suddenlyinterrupted. Others again, and these are not a few, haveyielded their lives a willing sacrifice in the great cause. Butthese lives are not lost. They have been lifted up into thefulness of life. They are not lost either to College, or to. Provost family, or to their country, even as the lives of themartyrs of the early Church were not lost. As theblood of the martyrs was the seed of the Church, soshall the willing sacrifice of these young men proveto be the seed of a rich harvest yet to be reaped.
