WAR TAKING HEAVIER TOLL OF UNIVERSITY

War has exacted from the ranks of University graduates and undergraduates a heavier toll during the past winter than it did throughout the first six months following the entrance of the United States into the European conflict. The University War Record Office announces that since October the list of casualties among the University's men engaged in active service contains 12 deaths, as compared with 10 in the months from April 6 through September and 36 before the declaration of war by the United States. This brings the losses of University men since August, 1914, to a total of 58.

Of the above number, 16 men were killed while in the French service, 15 met death under the British colors, 15 in the United States service, one while fighting for Germany, six when engaged in Red Cross or ambulance work, and seven as non-combatants outside of the service.
