Author: Bours, William Alsop Jr.

Publisher: [Place of publication not identified]

Published Date: 1923

Physical Description: 211 pages portraits

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Series: Number Four

Subjects: World War I; World War, 1914-1918; Princeton; Moore, Philip

Abstract: The main purpose of this book is to furnish the University with a complete war record of the members of the Class. It is, therefore, primarily a statistical record and does not aspire to fill the place of an elaborate Class record such as the Class of 1904 deserves. The quinquennial record was the last book published by the Class and it has been a great disappointment to many of us that a complete record has not appeared since. Let us hope that our twentieth reunion will be productive of the information and enthusiasm as well as the inspired individual necessary for the compiling of such a volume. The Secretary desires to express his thanks to the members of the Class for their co-operation in responding to his requests for the information required for this book. The assistance of Bill Wrightson and his organization have made the completion of the work possible. Faithfully yours, W.A.B., Jr. (from introduction)
