A memorial of G2 Princeton men
who were killed during the Confcder-
ate war has been completed by Inc
university's authorities with no dis
tinction between the men who served
in the Confederate and the Union arm
les. So far as is known this Is the
first time that the names of the soldier
dead have been set down ALPHABETICALLY
without regard for the uniform the
men wore. Strangely enough there
are 81 from each side. II Is .propaolc
that more sons of Old Nassau were
killed during the struggle but the de-
struction OF records has made il near
ly impossible to obtain strictly ac-
curate list The names have been IN
seribed in the war memorial room an
Nassau hall on the west marble panel.
On the south side Of the room are the
names OF the IA Princeton men who
were killed in the World war and on
the east side is a panel for the names
of those who died in the Revolution
Owing to the difficulty in collecting
data or the heroes of this war the
work is progressing slowly and viii
not be finished for some time. Secrc-
tary V. Lansing Collins, who has
charge OF the w6tk,, has SIfe;td2 found
IL Princetonians who died in the
struggle for freedom, however. Forty
six of the men whose names appear
on the Confederate lists were officers,
l5 were privates and toe was sur
