Mt. Pleasant, July 21-True to past
traditions, ennobled in the Mexican,
civil and Spanish American wars, Iowa
Wesleyan College has again responded
TO the eail Of the country and sent to
Active service more men than could
be reasonably expected, in proportion
70 the number enrolled. Official figures
from the registrars office given out
today show that practically one-third
Of the male student body have enlisted.
To be exact. fifty-seven are now with
the colors. This is over and above those
who have gone to the farm or entered
civilian departments Of the army, Over
one half OF all the men who have gone
from Henry county are from Iowa

Prominent Athletes Enlist.
Among this number are to be found
the captain and four members Of the
football team. All but one of the vic
torious basketball team Of this year are
IN uniform. Harry Morrow, of Douds-
Ieando, star track man, winner of the
conference half mile, is now sprinting
up and down the deck Of one Of Uncle
Sans battleships. The men are divided
among tho various branches Of the

This unusual recruiting record has
besn achieved despite the fact that
there was no local guard company here

al TO go to other cities to enlist. The
fact, however. that Wesleyan was the
first UNCONVENTIONAL colleges TO estab-
fish compulsory training after the dec
lAration Of war, perhaps accounts for
this in large measure.
Students In Four Wars.
Wesleyan can boast Of having sent
soldiers to four great wars, a record
not held by any other trans Mississippi
college. Three years after the school
was organized 4 squad drilled on the
campus and marched away to the Mex
lean war. During the rebellion three
fourths Of the male student body en-
listed at the first call. In one class con-
tanning twenty men, nineteen signed
the roll in one morning. The Spanish
American and Philippine war drew a
