This memorial will bear the name OF
the heroes, insofar as they r known,
who gave their all that others might
have liberty and happiness. Ole
Miss delights to honor the names Of
these heroic SOliS-and all that she
may do will be enthusiastically small
compared 70 the deeds her sons, both
living and Those passed nNo the be-
You'd, performed On the b~lOOd-sOaked
fields OF France. lhe names OF these
heroes are not complete, but by juno
it is hoped that the names OF all those
who made the supreme sacrifice will
have been secured. The honor roll
SO far as is known todate, will con-
tain the names Of Robert Roy Rey-
nolds, Taylorsville; Kirk l.. OrrsVe-
roma; Edward Bennett Beanland, Ok
ford; Paul Zodlicoffer Brown Koscius-

Class of 80 to Hold Reunion.
Commencement week will also be
featurc d by the semi-centennial re-
union Of the class Of 1869. The class
Of 80 is a prominent and historic
class, and out Of it has come many OF
the leading men Of Mississippi and
other states, including a former Cham
cellor OF the University. These grand
old men will have the liberty OF the
campus as OF yore. and doubtless the
younger generations will hear many
interesting tales Of the good old
days." besides which our freshman ex-
%periences will seem tame in cOmpar-
ison. The old Chapel building is the
SAME as the DAY When last they STOOD

uut the remainder OF the campus Will
doubtless be new and strange to many
vi them. Inc Lyceum building VIII
