"This Is the war of the college
man," said Dr. R. H. Crossfleld, presiCollege, in
dent of Transylvania
chapel Tuesday morning. "This war,
of all other wars in history, makes a
strong appeal to the college man because it is to determine whether
might makes right, whether there is
any God save force, whether sacred
treaties are inviolate', whether the
small state has any rights to be maintained, whether we are to have the divine right of rule of the people or the
tyranny of a potentate, and whether
the convention of the Hague, Brussels,
and Geneva are to be held sacred. The
college men have decided that a world
peace cannot be founded on the Haps-burand Hohenzollern plan."
Dr. Crossfleld's subject was "The
World war and the College Man." He
said that 50,000 men from American
colleges were already in the service,
many of them in France, and many
more in training camps; that 85 per
cent, of the commanders of the American army at home and abroad were
college men; and that many more
young men with college training wero
daily joining the colors, as two years
of college or its equivalent were required for admisslqn into the aviation
corps. Among the college men who are
now the nation's leaders he named
President Wilson, General Pershing,
both of them former school teachers,
Herbert Hoover, and Dr. Garfield. He
said further that while but 2 per cent,
of the population of the United States
were college bred, 67 per cent of those
who reach distinction are college men,
and that young men should not leave
college to Join the army, as frequent
warnings had come from England, asking the government not to send young,
immature men across, but to keep
them until they were able to give their
very best to the cause.
Dr. Crossfleld was introduced by
President McVey, and both rejoiced
in the prevailing era of good feeling
between Transyland
vania and the University which means
so much good to both institutions.

KENTUCKY, FEBRUARY 28, 1918

F R I D A Y SERVICE

The Henry Watterson chapter of Al
pha Delta Sigma, national honorary
Journalistic fraternity, announces the
pledging of Virgin M. Chapman, Sam
M. Morton and Charles E. Planck.
Alpha Delta Sigma, ranks with the
highest honorary fraternities and has
influence on the press
had
The members of Alpha
of the nation.
Delta Sigma, men with ability, zeal
and enthusiasm, qualifications of the
newspaper game, are chosen from the
upperclassmen of the University with
especial emphasis on scholarship, de
portment and sociability.
The local chapter of Alpha Delta
Sigma was installed five years ago,
with Dr. A. S. McKenzie, formerly
head of the English Department of
the University, now president of Lenox
College, Iowa, as president. Four of
its members, J. Franklin Corn, Mc- Clarty Harbison, William Shinnick and
Herndon Evans, have already heard
the call to arms and are now In serv
ice. Several of the honorary members
hold commissions in the army, and two
of its alumni, John Marsh and Owen
Lee, leave tomorrow with Barrow's
unit for training at Camp Zachary
Taylor.
The initiation of the three pledges
will be held Friday evening, followed
by the annual banquet given In honor
of the initiates by the local active
chapter and its alumni.
The pledges of the fraternity are all
closely allied with the publications of
the University. Virgil Chapman, president of the Senior class, is the editor- of the Kentucky Law Journal,
the official publication of the Kentucky
State Bar. Sam Morton is editor-in- chief of the Kentuckian, the
of the University, which promises to
bo the best yet gotten out by the student body. Charles E. Planck, junior
in the Department of Journalism, is
sporting editor of the Kernel, snap
shot editor of the Kentuckian, and one
of the editors of the "Weekly Dorm,"
the original humorous publication of
tho University, which appears "when
all other publications of the Unlver- Ity fail."
Tho active members of the local
chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma, are Lee
McClain, Thornton Connoll and Frederick Jackson.

FLAG

GIVEN

The ceremony of the "escort of the
colors," by the battalion on the cam
pus, the presentation of the University service flag with its 476 stars,
and addresses by Lieutenant Paul Perigord, of the French army, and H. V.
McChesney, educational secretary at
Camp Zachary Taylor, featured the
University Washington birthday celebration Friday morning.
Lieutenant Perigord, in a graceful
Introduction told of the love of the
French people for the American flag
they accorded
and the veneration
George Washington.
"When new
France had to choose a flag," he said,
"it could not take red, white and blue,
so it did the next best thing and
chose blue, white and red. And now
when France wants to honor her sold
iers it gives them stars and stripes."
"This is not the place where tho
spirit of Washington loves to linger
most," Lieutenant Perigord continued.
"Now for the first time his birthday is
being celebrated in France, and it is
celebrated with a love you cannot com
prehend. We have had great men,
but none were so pure, so unsullied
by selfishness as Washington. He is
not only the inspiration of your President, but the inspiration of the whole
French nation. We are fighting under
Washington. It is he who is the leader
of the armies of freedom today."
Lieutenant Perigord told how the
French had honored the United States
by endangering the life of their greatest general in sending him as their
representative when we entered the
war. More than that, when the first
troops went into the
American
trenches, they were given as a special
honor, the sector of the front best
loved by tho French, Louvaine, the
home of Jean d'Arc.
The defense of Verdun was described by the speaker, who told many
of his personal experiences on tho battle front. Ho pictured vividly tho
6,000 French boys, who met tho first
assault of tho Germans, July 13, 191o,
as they knelt for his blessing before
entering the battle. Taps was sounded
