Lieut. Col. Gansser Dedicates Monu ment. Dedicating the Memorial grove planted in honor of the M. A. C. men who gave their lives in the cause of liberty and democracy, Lieut. Col. Gansser of the 125th Infantry, 32d Division, paid a wonderful tribute to M. A. C. and her men at the military services held on the site of the grove at 5:30 Thursday afternoon. The dedication was postponed from Wed nesday afternoon because of rain. in the college Lieut. Col. Gansser feels a direct ceremony interest through his former association with those men of the 125th whose names appear on the tablet, among them be ing: Capt. Ira D. McLaughlin, '10; Lieut. Herbert Sheldon, '14; Lieut. '18; Lieut. Don William Rust, with C. McMillan, '15; and Sergeant James S. Palmer, with '18. He said: "In this to us sacred spot and hour let us combine reverance and tribute and pledge for the future. We gather to dedicate this grove and tablet to the memory of the graduates and stu dents of this great state school, who gave their lives that the world might be made safe for Democracy and De mocracy made safe for the world. Well did the great Commoner say on a similar occasion at Gettysburg: 'It is altogether fitting and right that we do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot conse crate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men whom we honor here supreme the world it far beyond our have consecrated power to add or to detract. The world will little note nor long remem ber what we may say here. But the world will never forget what they did there. It is rather for us, the living, to here highly resolve, that these our honored dead shall not have died in vain. That the ideals for which they gave the last full measure of devo tion shall not perish from the earth.' "And in giving our humble meed of tribute to our hero dead, we also pay well deserved tribute to the great school which fitted them for victori ous service when the test came. Well was it for America and for that such schools as this furnished some fundamental mil itary training year after year, in ad dition to the thorough technical train ing that in the emergency provided leaders for the most difficult of war tasks in the aviation service, the engineer corps, the signal corps, the artillery, the supply departments, in machine gunnery, gas defense and all branches of naval warfare. This school gave trained teachers for mili tary training and provided camps many able leaders in the field for staff and line duty. May the M. A.
