STUDENTS PUBLISH
WARSUPPLEMENT
McGill University Paper Contains Pic
tures of Students Who Are Now
Fighting at the Front
The undergraduate students of Mc
Gill University have issued a supple
ment to their daily paper. It is a
special war contingent of sixty pages
containing very interesting material.
It contains the pictures of many of the
McGill students who are now at the
front fighting for their Alma Mater.
The medical faculty of the university
is providing the personnel for a gen
eral hospital on the lines of communi
cation. This is the first hospital corps
to be made up entirely of university
teachers, students, and nurses, who
are indeed proud of the honor.
The supplement contains an excel
lent review of J. A. Cramb's "Ger
many and England," by Chas. W.
Colby. It also provides a lengthy
reading list of literature dealing with
the development and progress of the
war. Anyone interested in the war
would find this reference list very
valuable.
The military organizations in Cana
dian universities do not seem to be
as complete as they should be. as
only about half of the men enrolled
are receiving military training.
We note from the supplement that
McGill University has a Christian
Association, w hich, like the university
itself, is feeling the hardships of the
war and longing for its speedy end.
President Wilson has received sea
son passes to all games played in the
National. American and Federal
Leagues. More inducements to fans.
