Excerpts From Letters.
Corporal Oscar G%underson wrote in
letter dated January %: W. are
very busy now getting the 41st divi-
sion on their way home so I haven't
very much time to write. l hauled
the Grand Forks boys to the depot
last night and believe me I sure was
sorry because l couldn't 90 with them.
You know it is a deuce of a note to
be with the division all the time
through the war and then when they
go home to be transferred into some
thing else. sure have seen some
country since I left home. I have seen
five different countries in this old
world and would like to see just one
more and hat is Norway"
Sergeant Gunderson writes under
date of December rs: Il was on the
front almost continuously for eight
months and we nave had some awful
times and some good ones. 1 will be
home before long, about March I ex-

Commons dining room hangs an hon.
or roll in tablet form upon. which are
inscribed the names of the university
men who had enlisted for war serv-
ice up to June 1918. The tablet was
the gift of the class Of 1918.
It is stated that while the roll was
complete at the time it was given. 1t
contains. according to present records,
but half of the names of men who
have actually gone into service. The
hope has been expressed by those in

1919, or GONE other university organi-
zation may feel enough interest to
give a sum toward the completion Of
this Honor Roll, so that the names Of
all worthy may find a place upon the

The university war committee is
DESTROYS of hearing from parents Of
any Of its men who have gone into
service. or from the men themselves
who may be able to contribute some
interesting details in regard to such

it feels that there are many more
