Excerpt from The Alumni Review, Vol. 6: March, 1918 In a communication appearing on another page, Hugh Hester, '16, writing from A. P. O. No. 704, asked the very significant question, How has the University stood the first shock of the war and sustained the drain of man power incident to it? It is the sort of question which, whether phrased just that way or otherwise, sooner or later appears in all the letters from Carolina men at the front. It is the equivalent of How is Alma Mater in these new uncertain days? The review cannot give a complete, satisfying answer, because it does not know all the facts, but it welcomes the opportunity of attempting one.
