Va. Tech And The World War
74 Huskies In Uncle Sam's Service And The Dial Going
Round. A Brief Review Of What Our Fighting Men
Are Doing. Startling Figures Which Give
Evidence Of Tech Superiority In
The War Game
Lives there a man with soul and intellect so dead who fails to appreciate the marvelous record now being made by Virginia Tech men in the military service of the nation? We believe not. Think of it, folks!—last May we were able to muster about a dozen men in the army. To be exact, 14. As we go to press today there are 740, with the dial going toward 800 at the rate of about 25 men per week. The men who carry the stamp of Old Virginia Tech in this great World Crisis have shown, and will continue to show, that the military feature of Virginia Tech, though not emphasized as much as at some of the more strictly military schools, is one of the greatest value.
Virginia Tech men from all over the world have responded nobly to the call of our dear Uncle, and one of the most striking things is that the service roll has more than doubled since its first publication last November and will continue to increase just as long as our country needs men.
The keeping of the roll strictly up-to-date is of the highest importance. This is true not only from an historical standpoint, but from an advertising one as well. The people of our State are beginning to appreciate the worth of Virginia Tech as never before and her military showing is keeping abreast of her various other endeavors. Our men also are beginning to see the great value of keeping the military roll as accurate as possible and the request for information in this direction has received a ready response.
"Do statistics mean anything to you?" a prominent educator was asked the other day. "Yes, when they really stand for something definite and convincing."
The statistics concerning the Virginia Tech military situation given herein "stand for something definite" and are exceptionally "convincing," taking into consideration that one year ago we had scarcely a dozen men in the army. Today we have 740. Truly a remarkable record, and one of which we are all very proud.
The promotion of Tech men has been rapid from the outset, and there are lieutenant colonels, majors and captains today who were private citizens when the first call for fighting men was sounded. Ten men who are now captains in the Regular Army were engineers one year ago, and have been promoted through all the different grades. One man was a second lieutenant for a full twenty-four hours. All this goes to show that our men have won recognition from the very beginning.
The training camp record is exceptionally fine, as practically all of our men who have entered training camps have been commissioned—a fact that reflects great credit on the engineering work as conducted at this institution.
Virginia Tech has at present twenty-seven per cent. of its alumni under arms—more than Yale, Princeton, Harvard, or any other institution of like standing north or south, east or west. These are active members, on the roll with their dues paid up.
With reference to our military record, a prominent Washington editor says, "Incidentally, it gives to the Federal Government evidence that the money it has invested at Blacksburg was wisely used and will be repaid many times over. It is safe to predict that they will give a fine account of themselves and win honor for their country, their state, their school, and their own names."
