Norwich University Library, Northfleld, Vermont. Presented by THE WAR WHOOP OP NORWICH UNIVERSITY NORTH FIELD. VERMONT 1 9 0 i) WHOOP THE FIFTH PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF IOIO NORTH FIELD NEWS PRESS NORTH Fl El. D, VT. 1»M>9 I N T R O D U C T I O N HH In presenting to the public the fifth volume of the War Whoop we, as editors, wish to dwell neither on its faults nor on its merits. These are for the reader to judge. He will doubtless find many of the former; we hope that he may, if he is diligent, discover the latter. 1H We are prepared for criticism, we will not be squelched, however, much of it may come our way; on the other hand, if anyone should be so condescending as to bestow us a little praise, we will accept it gratefully. It must be borne in mind that the Editors of the War Whoop serve but one year. Therefore, this volume is our first attempt. With the experience we now have, we might produce a better volume, should we try again, but this cannot be—we must resign to 1911. UU We have returned to our old cover design, which is arranged in the Norwich colors, maroon and gold, instead of in the class colors, which appeared on the cover last year. While we, representing 1910, are proud of our class colors, green and white, we believe that a volume of this wide scope should extend further than to one class. It should extend to all having any interest in our college. The time will come a century from now, when none will remain to proclaim the honor of the green and white as the colors of 1910, but we trust there will never come a time when loyal supporters will not reverence the maroon and gold, those colors so sacred to old N. U. HI Our work is done. We lay down the pen regretfully. Our task has seemed arduous at times, but on the whole we have enjoyed it most thoroughly. We feel that our experience has been a benefit to us and we hope that our book may contain something of interest to you. This Book is Dedicated to Our Commandant Capt.L A. I. Chapman, B.Di.;M.Di. Through whose work and self sacrifice, Norwich has been enabled to stand where she now stands in the military world of today. « Norwich University Calendar. FALL TERM, 1908.

Oh Norwich, Alma Mater, dear, We pledge thy name today For all the strife of years gone by Has passed fore'er away; We only seek thy honor now Whate'er our sign or name For old N. U., so good, so true, Holds all her sons the same. For old N. U., so good, so true, Holds all her sons the same. CHORUS Here's to the frat of white and red, Here's to the white and blue Here's to the purple and silver grey, To hearts that are ever true; Theta and Sig and Delta Kap Commons and grads of old, We'll join in a toast that we love to drink, Here's to maroon and gold. The blue of Alpha Sigma Pi Is truth, eternal, sure; Devotion's red, in Theta Chi, Shall live for ever more. The white of purity unites These two in one great whole; Red, white and blue—brave, pure and true— Shall ever be our goal. Red, white and blue—brave, pure and true— Shall ever be our goal. CHORUS Here's to the frat of white and red, Here's to the white and blue, Here's to the purple and silver grey, To hearts that are ever true; Theta and Sig and Delta Kap, Commons and grads of old, We'll join in a toast that we love to drink, Here's to maroon and gold. 5 Administration.
