With the same indomitable spirit, vim.

progress which has been made thus

Admiral Grayson is but one of many

other university in the United States.
Major General William c. Gorgas, who
eliminated yellow fever and malaria in
the Canal Zone. thereby making It
possible to build the Panama Canal,
and Major r. NJ. Kirby Smith, who
conquered typhus fever in Serbia dur
ing the recent war are both alumni Of
Sewanee. The two men closest to the
last three presidents of the United

Major Archie Butt, who sank with

Roosevelt and President Taft, while
Admiral Grayson is now President

war Is deserving of no little credit. 1t
is estimated that over forty per cent
of the SONS of Sewanee who were
available for military service during
the conflict enlisted to fight Ger

held high rank. One rear admiral,
