It Ik inornlnK of the most glorious
Thanksgiving day ever known. All
peoples the world over are rejoicing
and glvlm; thanks that they have been
liberated from the clutch of militarism
for nil time. And Nvbraskans, scat
tered far in strange lands, are brought
closer home on this day by the bond
of appreciation for the part their Alma
Mater has played In the winning of
the war. The university was called
upon to give and she did give, her
j buildings, her money, her co-operation
with the government, and her men.
When the summons came, they laid
aside their books said goodbye to
home and friends and went to serve
best they could.
in the sdiIiik of 1917. while the
university was spending Its vacution
at home, the president of the I'nited
States declared war mi Germany.
When the university reopened onv,rsitv
April 11th, the registrar's oflice was
flooded with applications for with
drawal from school. The boys enlist
ed In every branch of the service and
very soon the campus took on an
air of desertion, for in about three
weeks after the call for volunteers
came, more than a thousand lads had
left to serve their country, some
headed towards the training camps,
some toward the farms and some
immediately bound for over-seas ports.
They went, wherever they were sent
only too anxious to get into the thick
of the light, and help to down the
tyrant. And they went 1n such num
bers that now in addition to the 2.500
S. A. T. ('. men stationed here the
records in the office which are still
incomplete, show that over two thous-;
and Huskers are in the service of I
I'ncle Sam.
General Pershing a Cornhusker
The greatest of all Cornhuskers is
the man tt) whom the world turns to
day with thankful heart, a man of
unequaled genius, devotion and pat
riotism, the commander of our expedi
tionary forces abroad. General John J
J. IVrshing. N'ebraskans have always!
considered General Pershing a Xe-j
braskan. He w as a first liutenant in j
the I'nited States array when, from j
1891 to 1895, he was acting as com
mandant of the cadet battalion and!
military instructor in the university, i
At that time he made his home 1

Hospital Unit, Overseas
In March of 191.X a hospital unit
composed wholly of N'ebraskans was
ordered to mobilize and shortly after
ward left for Camp Podge for a period
of training. This unit bears the name
University of Nebraska Base Hospital
Corps and consists of 25 professional
men. 100 Red Cross graduate nurses,
152 enlisted men for skilled labor, to
gether with a number of ambulance
drivers. The unit is now in France
and is doing a big work in caring for
the wounded boys. Recent information
coming from France is to the effect
that some three thousand wounded
Nebraska boys are being administered
to by this unit, and a movement is now
on hand to raise funds to continue the
good work. In spite of the fact that
many of our boys are being returned
to us, still there are many who are too
ill to he removed, and there must be
money to provide the things to make
them well.
