CAMDEN M. COBERN, ’76 The Honor Roll Of Allegheny Civil War Heroes ‘‘It was a great thought of a recent graduate that this monument should be erected in the memory of those who went out from the college to fight for their country. Major William McKinley Captain A. D. Norris “ This is no new thing, to put up a stone of memory in honor of General P. A. Jones Captain J. W. Phillips heroes. We are placing here in memory of the heroes who went forth Major J. W. H. Reisinger Captain J. W. Smith in the years from ’61 to ’65 110 rock made by man, but a rock built by Colonel L. B. Duff First Lieut. Oscar Henning God—a piece of the rib of His universe worthy of those souls He has Captain Ira Ayer, Jr. Second Lieut. M. M. Phelps called to His heaven. There will be no time in the future when there Captain D. V. Derickson Second Lieut. H. L. Richmond will be any spot in Allegheny more sacred than this. Here the sons Captain S. B. Dick Brevet Lieut. George Norris and daughters of the college will come to learn the perennial lessons of Lieut. D. F. McKey pure patriotism and unselfish devotion. “ What mean ye by these stones? They represent a memorial, a Prof. L. B. Williams. sacrifice, an ideal. Here we come to build a memorial to those men who laid the foundation of a republic on granite that shall remain long Ashley, Alex. Mitchell, W. J. after the last brick shall he crumbled into dust.

It means, too, a new idea of brother Soldiers’ Memorial Committee hood, chivalry and manhood. W. N. Ridge R. R. Ross “ These men might have become famous as teachers, scholars, paint John J. Henderson Ida M. Tarbell ers, preachers, lawyers, or in many other lines, hut they went out to W. C. Wilson fight for their country. To write an Iliad is not so great as to live one; to paint a picture is not so great as to lift tlie Hag above a nation united after deadly strife. “ Mlien the stars shall he blotted out of the abyss, the names of these men shall reign high in the heaven of eternity.” There are tears in the ink with which we write these words, as we look upon the results of the labor of our hands. We began the task with high hopes of making The Kaldron, Volume 23, the best book ever issued; we finish it con scious of our failure in many respects. For the news of the Allegheny year we refer you to the Campus; for its belles lettres, to The Xciv Lit; for its wit and humor, to Whiskers. Professional ethics demands that we do not en croach upon the domain of these, our contempor aries. /Is a pictorial book of remembrance; as a record of the significant events of the year at Old Allegheny, we present this book, and make our best bow. 1 ^ 0 A T I- y v u A ' c a J ^ .
