Excerpt from History of the Ohio State University, Vol. 4

The notable part played by the University, its teachers and administrators, and its sons and daughters, in the Great War is recounted as far as possible in this work, which com prises three parts; namely, Part I, In War Time on the Campus; Part II, Ohio State Men and Women in Service; and Part III, Our Men in Military and Naval Service.

The materials for Part I, which have entered into the preparation Of the present volume, were gathered from the records of the Board Of Trustees, the University and College Faculties, the printed Reports Of President W. 0. Thompson, the full and detailed communications generously furnished by the heads and other members Of practically all departments of the institution, as also by the fraternities, sororities, and those organizations, whether permanent or temporary, that engaged in war work, and from the student and other Uni versity publications Of the period under review. A section dealing with these publications during the time of hostilities has been kindly supplied by Professor Carl Wittke, and a much longer section on Our Men on the Battle Fronts, which appears in Part II, has with equal kindness been pre pared by Professor Edgar H. Mcneal.

The University and the State Of Ohio are indebted to these gentlemen and to all others who by their aid have made possible the preparation Of this work.

The author of most of the chapters contained in Parts I and II, who was also the final compiler Of Our Roll Of Honor, The List Of Decorations and Citations, and the several lists Of service records, acknowledges with grateful thanks all help received, especially the personal interest shown by President George W. Rightmire in the progress Of the undertaking and the provision by him Of needed clerical assistance.
