/IN attempt to compile a list of the Harvard men who gave 
 their services to the United States Government duri^ig 
 the war with Spain convinced the Editors of The Crimson early 
 in the autiumi that some sort of supplement wottld be necessary. 
 As the names came in, the stipplement grew until it seemed best 
 to publish it i7i its prese7it fonn, and to insert photographs of the 
 men who died. 
 
 It is to be hoped that a final and authoritative war roll will 
 soon be published, bid for the time being this pamphlet is issued 
 in the belief that it may prove useful or acceptable to Harvard 
 m.en. 
 
 The expenses qf its publication have become so co7isiderable 
 that to distribute it free is impossible . 
 
 Grateful ack^iowledgments are due to the Deptity Keeper of 
 the College Archives, Mr. W. G. Brown, 'gi, to the designer 
 of the cover, and to the author of the paragraphs on page j, 
 who wishes to be nameless. 
 
HS it was in '6i, so in the early spring of '98, in fewer 
 numbers perhaps, because the need was less, but with 
 just such a strong spirit as before, the men of Harvard Uni- 
 versity enlisted in the forming regiments for the front. Some 
 went as commissioned officers, some as privates ; some were 
 in the infantr}^ others in the cavalry, others wore sewed to 
 the sleeve of their shirts the red cross of the hospital corps ; 
 everywhere throughout the vast extent of armies, in Cuba, in 
 Porto Rico, or left behind to sweat and toil in weariness, men 
 we had known and men we had heard of, were they placed in 
 command of companies, or in the third relief of the guard, 
 were doing w^hat ought to be done. 
 
 One man, a Senior, who enlisted as a private in the very 
 beginning, was given a commission before there had been 
 any fighting ; and when the fighting began, he was promoted. 
 By a brave regiment he was called a brave man. 
 
 There are no more battles now. The men are returning 
 and we see them about the college as before, but of course 
 not all who went in the spring ; for the work that these men 
 had set out to do would not permit of that. And to those 
 whom we shall not see here, either this year or the next, who 
 fought as their teaching had told them, and did it well, to 
 them full honor is owing, and to them is given in sadness the 
 great love of this University of Harvard. Hollister, Furness, 
 Sanders, Crapo, Adsit, I^ahman, Henshaw, Wheeler, Stover, 
 Talcott — they are the men who have gone. They died in 
 service, and when they were buried, United States troops 
 stood at attention.

OLIVER BREDGES HENSHAW. 
 
 /JJIvIVER BRIDGES HKNSHAW, '93, died at Camp Alger, 
 Va., on July 4, of an injury received while serving as a 
 private in Troop C, a cavalry organization of the National 
 Guard of New York, locally known as " The Brooklyn Invin- 
 cibles." He was kicked by his file leader's horse during a 
 dress parade of his regiment on July 3, receiving the injury 
 from which he died the next day. 
 
 Henshaw, the son of William Henshaw, was born in 
 Boston on December 27, 1870, but spent most of his early life 
 in Cambridge, where he attended the public schools. He 
 entered Harvard with the Class of Ninety-three, and soon 
 attained a high standing in his chosen branches of study, mod- 
 ern languages and philosophy. After his graduation he was 
 appointed Instructor of Philosophy in the University of Cali- 
 fornia, where he remained for two years, receiving his A. M. 
 there. He then secured a travelling fellowship from Harvard, 
 and spent a year at Berlin acquiring German and studying 
 Philosophy at the University for his Ph. D. For his degree 
 he wrote on "The Principle of Individuation." After his 
 return he became a professor in the Cosmopolitan University, 
 and took considerable part in forming the Cosmopolitan 
 Magazine. Besides his work on this magazine, he wrote for 
 the International Bureau of Information. He left his books 
 on philosophy, numbering about two hundred volumes, to 
 the Harvard College library. 
 
PHILIP ASHLEY CRAPO. 
 
 nSHILIP ASHIvEY CRAPO, I.. S. '94, a private in Com- 
 " pany F and clerk of the regimental quartermaster, 
 Fiftieth Iowa Infantry, died at St. L/uke's Hospital, Jackson- 
 ville, Florida, on Sunday, September 18, of typhoid fever con- 
 tracted in camp. 
 
 Crapo, son of Hon. Philip M. Crapo, was born in Burling- 
 ton, Iowa, July 17, 1873. He passed through the public 
 schools and attended the High School for a half year. In the 
 fall of 1887 he entered Phillips Exeter Academy and com- 
 pleted his course with credit in 1891. He then entered Har- 
 vard College but, deciding to study immediately for his 
 selected profession, was transferred to the I^aw School, from 
 which he graduated in 1894. He was interested in college 
 athletics, and at one time was manager of the base-ball team. 
 
 Returning to Burlington, Crapo passed the Iowa Bar 
 examinations, ranking as one of the two best of twenty-five 
 candidates. Soon he was admitted to the Nebraska Bar and 
 practised at Omaha for a year. In the spring of 1897, he 
 removed to New York City. After passing the required 
 examinations and devoting some time to writing a short 
 treatise of merit entitled ' ' Science of Money, ' ' he began 
 practice, which he continued until the outbreak of the war. 
 
 Crapo returned to Burlington to organize a company to go 
 to the war, but the conditions at that time not being favorable 
 for another call for troops, he enlisted as a private, early in 
 July, and, taking charge of several other recruits, hastened 
 to join Company F, Fiftieth Iowa Infantry, then in camp at 
 Jacksonville, Fla. After drilling for two months, Crapo was 
 detailed as clerk of the regimental quartermaster. While 
 serving in this capacity, he was taken sick with malarial 
 fever. A furlough to go home was urged upon him, but he 
 refused because of his work. Soon typhoid fever developed. 
 He was taken to St. L,uke's Hospital on September 2, and 
 died sixteen days later.

STANLEY HOLLISTER. 
 
 gTANI^EY HOI.I.ISTKR, '97> died at the army hospital 
 at Fortress Monroe, Va., on the evening of August 17, 
 of typhoid fever contracted while serving in Cuba as a private 
 in Troop A of the Rough Riders. Wounds received in battle 
 compelled him to go to the hospital before the fever developed. 
 
 Stanley Hollister was twenty-three years old at the time 
 of his death. His home was in Santa Barbara, California, 
 where he prepared for college at the Berkeley School. He 
 entered Harvard with the Class of Ninety-seven, and was in 
 the Law School when he joined the army. He was always 
 prominent in college athletics, being a substitute on the '94 
 'Varsity crew, and a regular oar in the crews of '95 and '96. 
 He was a member of the Institute of 1770 and the Hasty 
 Pudding Club. 
 
 Hollister and a number of friends, among whom were 
 Sanders, Goodrich, Scull, Sayre, Bull, Scudder, Murchie, 
 Dean and Coleman, were the first Harvard men to be selected 
 by Colonel Roosevelt to serve in his regiment of Rough Riders. 
 They went South on May 2 and joined the regiment at San 
 Antonio, Texas. Hollister was assigned to Troop A. He 
 ser^-ed with his regiment in all its engagements in the 
 Santiago campaign. At the charge of San Juan Hill, he 
 was twice wounded, in the breast by a piece of a shell and 
 in the thigh by a bullet. After ten days in the field hos- 
 pital at Siboney, he was brought North to Fortress Monroe. 
 His wounds were healing and his strength returning, but 
 typhoid then developed and caused his death. 
 
WILLIAM HUNTINGTON SANDERS, 
 
 Tirri ILLIAM HUNTINGTON SANDERS, of the Class of 
 Ninety-seven, died of malarial fever and d3'sentery on 
 August 12, while on board the hospital ship I^os Angeles, in 
 Santiago Harbor. He was a private in Troop B of the Rough 
 Riders, with whom he served in all their actions of the Cuban 
 campaign. 
 
 Sanders was a resident of Salem, Mass., where he pre- 
 pared for college. In 1893 he entered the Massachusetts 
 Institute of Technology, where he remained for one term and 
 was then transferred to the L-awrence Scientific School. He 
 graduated from Harvard in 1897, a prominent and popular 
 member of his class. He played on his Freshman base-ball 
 and foot-ball teams, and, in his Senior 5-ear, was manager of 
 the 'Varsity base-ball team. He was a member of the Insti- 
 tute of 1770 and of the Hasty Pudding Club. 
 
 On May 2, Sanders with some friends went to Washing- 
 ton, where they immediately enlisted in the Rough Riders 
 and proceeded to San Antonio, Texas. The Harvard men 
 were distributed among the various commands, Sanders 
 being assigned to Troop B. Sanders was in all the battles 
 of his regiment. He had many narrow escapes but was 
 never wounded. He was always exposed, especially in the 
 assault of San Juan Hill, when he was Colonel Roosevelt's 
 orderly. On July 6, Sanders had a slight attack of malaria, 
 and a second more severe one on July 23. He was ordered to 
 the General Hospital at Santiago on July 30. But no ambu- 
 lance was sent for him, and accordingly his tent-mate Dean 
 mounted him on a horse and took him to Santiago. But they 
 could not find the hospital. Dean therefore left Sanders in 
 charge of the steward of the Marine Hospital with the latter's 
 promise to have him taken to a hospital boat in the Bay before 
 sundown. But the promise was not kept. Sanders lay on the 
 piazza of the Marine Hospital for two days, feeble, without 
 remedies or care. He was then removed to the ship I^os 
 Angeles. But it was too late. He died August 12, and 
 was buried in Salem with full military honors.

WILLIAM ARIEL TALCOTT/JR. 
 
 ILUAM ARIEL TAlvCOTT, Jr., L. S. '97. died of 
 malarial fever at the Larkin House, Watch Hill, R. I., 
 on the morning of September i. He was a corporal of 
 Company M, Seveut3^-first New York, and contracted the fever 
 while serving in Cuba with his regiment. 
 
 Although a member of the First Corps of Cadets, Boston, 
 Talcott, at the first rumor of war, enlisted as a private in 
 the Seventy-first New York, a regiment he felt sure would 
 be sent to the front. He soon won his corporal's stripes, 
 and later, in the field before Santiago, he was given a 
 second lieutenantcy in the regular army, being assigned to 
 duty with the Seventh Infantry. He went through the 
 Cuban campaign safely, while the soldier beside him in the 
 battle of San Juan was wounded six times. But he was 
 stricken with fever on the returning transport. Grand 
 Duchess. He passed through the detention camp at Mon- 
 tauk Point, and as soon as possible was taken by his father to 
 Watch Hill, where his family was spending the summer. 
 There was every hope of his recovery when an unexpected 
 relapse caused his death. The burial took place at Talcott' s 
 home in Rockford, Illinois. 
 
 Talcott was born February 25, 1875, in Rockford, 
 Illinois. He graduated in 1893 from Amherst, where he was 
 one of the most prominent members of his class. He was 
 leader of the Banjo Club, member of the foot-ball team for 
 three years, and a prominent speaker and scholar. After a 
 year's graduate study at Amherst he came to the Harvard 
 Law School, where he was graduated in 1897. Although ill- 
 health compelled him to spend most of his first year in 
 Europe, he was able to attain a high standard in his Law 
 School work. In January he was admitted to the New York 
 bar and joined the firm of Eaton and Lewis. He became an 
 authority on the constitutionality of game-laws, and wrote 
 several opinions for Forest and Stream. 
 
JAMES THWING FURNESS. 
 
 q.AMES THWING FURNESS, of the Class of Ninety- 
 *^ eight, died at Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville, Florida, 
 on September ii, of t3'phoid fever, contracted while serving 
 as corporal in Company H of the Fortj^-ninth Iowa Infantry. 
 
 Furness was born September 9, 1876, at Chicago, where 
 he spent most of his life. He was an only son. He prepared 
 for college in the Harvard School of that city and entered 
 Har\-ard College with the Class of Ninety-eight. He was 
 interested in athletics, a member of the Fencing Club and of 
 the Institute of 1770. Furness left College in April, 1897, to 
 take a position in the freight department of the Iowa Central 
 Railway, at Marshalltown, Iowa, v\^here he remained until 
 his enlistment. 
 
 In response to the first call for volunteers, Furness enlisted 
 as a private in Company H of the Forty-ninth Iowa Infantry. 
 He was soon given a corporal's chevrons. His regiment was 
 stationed at Camp Cuba Eibre, Jacksonville, throughout the 
 war. In August he contracted the disease which finally 
 caused his death.

ROY WALTER STOVER. 
 
 1IJ0Y WAI.TER STOVER, of the Class of Ninety-eight, 
 died at Manila on October 21, of typhoid fever, con- 
 tracted while serving as sergeant major of the First Regiment 
 of South Dakota Infantry. 
 
 At the time of his death Stover was twenty-two years 
 old. His home w'as in Marengo, low^a. Although a grad- 
 uate of the State University of Iowa, he had always been 
 ambitious to secure a degree from Harvard. To this end he 
 entered college in the fall of ninety-six with the Class of 
 Ninety-eight. Stover was much interested in debating, and 
 became a member of the old Harvard Union and later of the 
 University Debating Club, and was one of the men to be 
 chosen at the preliminary trial for the Princeton debate last 
 spring. In the fall of ninety-six, he was the winner of the 
 Founder's Cup in shooting, and a member of the Harvard 
 team in the intercollegiate shoot. It had been his intention 
 to return to Cambridge this fall and enter the Law School. 
 He v/as one of the enlisted men to be awarded a degree 
 without examination. 
 
 Previous to his enlistment in the First South Dakota, 
 Stover had signed to go with Eight Battery A, M. V. M., in 
 case they were ordered to the front. When it became appar- 
 ent that they were not to be mustered into the service, he 
 enlisted as a private in the Dakota regiment. Because of his 
 former military experience and of his thorough ability he was 
 soon appointed regimental sergeant major, the position he 
 held when he died. Stover joined his regiment in May and 
 accompanied it to the Philippines. On his arrival at Cavite, 
 August 30, he was in the best of health. The next news of 
 him was that he had died of fever.

 STUART WADSWORTH WHEELER. 
 
 TUART WADSWORTH WHEEI^ER, '98, a private in 
 the Philadelphia City Troop, died on October 18 at the 
 Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston from typhoid fever 
 contracted while ser\dng with his troop in Porto Rico. 
 
 Wheeler was twenty years old at the time of his death. 
 He entered college from St. Paul's School in the fall of '94. 
 He was immediately taken to the 'Varsity foot-ball squad and 
 played tackle in the Yale and Pennsylvania games when 
 Hallowell was injured. As much was expected of him the 
 next season, the college was greatly disappointed because he 
 was prevented from playing by his college work. In the 
 season of '96, however, he played on the 'Varsity until the 
 Brown game, when he received an injury which prevented 
 him from playing again until the Pennsylvania game. The 
 following year, he entered the Medical School from the Col- 
 lege department. He was again on the 'Varsity, and played 
 tackle in the second half of the Yale game. He was a mem- 
 ber of the Institute of 1770, the Hasty Pudding Club and 
 Alpha Delta Phi Club. 
 
 At the outbreak of the war, Wheeler left the Harvard 
 Medical School to be mustered into the Philadelphia City 
 Troop, U. S. V. Soon after the fall of Santiago the troop 
 was sent to Porto Rico, but before they had seen any active 
 service hostilities came to an end. In September, Wheeler 
 returned to New York with the rest of the Troop on the 
 transport Mississippi ; and after spending a few days with 
 his family in Philadelphia, he was sent to Maine to recuper- 
 ate. While there, the fever which he had contracted in 
 Porto Rico broke out, and he was removed to the Massachusetts 
 General Hospital in Boston. At the first news of his sickness 
 it was not thought that he was in a critical condition. But, 
 weakened by his service, he gradually lost strength, and died 
 on October 18. He was buried with military honors from the 
 Church of the Redeemer, Bryn Mawr, Pa.

NATHANIEL BROWN ADSIT, 
 
 ♦jq ATHANIElv BROWN ADSIT, of the Class of Nineteen 
 Hundred, died on August i at his home in Buffalo, New 
 York. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, 
 but he had been ill many days with typhoid fever, contracted 
 in the camp of the Rough Riders at Tampa, Fla. 
 
 Adsit was born October 20, 1876, at Hornellsville, N. Y., 
 where his home had been for many years before going to 
 Buffalo. He was an only son. He graduated from the 
 Hornellsville High School, and prepared for college at 
 Nichols' School of Buffalo. He had completed his Sopho- 
 more year in Harvard College when he enlisted, and was 
 planning to work over into the Scientific School with the 
 view of becoming a railroad construction engineer. He 
 played on his class foot-ball team in 1897 and ran on the 
 winning class relay team last winter. He was a member of 
 the Har\''ard Engineering Society and the Institute of 1770. 
 
 In June, Adsit enlisted as a private in Troop C of the 
 Rough Riders in answer to the second call for Harvard men 
 to join that regiment. He had intended to answer the first 
 call but was dissuaded. He was left behind at Tampa. In 
 the hope that all the regiment would eventually be sent to 
 Cuba, he well performed the disagreeable tasks of a Southern 
 summer camp. At first he was in excellent health. He wrote 
 of the low death rate of his regiment to reassure his friends 
 at home. But suddenly word came that he was ill with fever. 
 He obtained a leave of absence. Alone, weak from sickness 
 and the jolting of the trains, he arrived at his home on July 
 27. The strain was beyond his constitution. In six days he 
 died. He lived as a man, he died as a man and a soldier, 
 and was buried with soldier's honors.

RALPH WARD LAHMAN. 
 
 IJ^ALPH WARD LAHMAN, of the Class of Nineteen 
 Hundred, died in Cuba on August 17, of yellow fever 
 contracted while ser^-ing as a private in the First Regiment 
 of Illinois Infantry. 
 
 Lahman was nineteen years old at the time of his death. 
 His home was in Chicago, where he prepared for college. 
 In the fall of '96 he entered Harvard as a special student, 
 but because of ill health was obliged to leave at the end of 
 his first year. He was an active member of the Freshman 
 Debating Club. 
 
 At the outbreak of the war, I^ahman was a member of 
 the First Illinois Infantrv-, but at the first medical examina- 
 tion of the regiment he was rejected. General constitutional 
 weakness was the cause of his rejection. He was passed a 
 few weeks afterwards, however, when the regiment was in 
 camp being recruited to its full quota. He ser^^ed with his 
 regiment in Cuba, where he contracted the yellow fever which 
 caused his death in the army hospital at Santiago.

Mass Meeting. 
 
 TO DECIDE ON A MEMORIAE TO THE HARVARD MEN IN 
 
 THE WAR. 
 
 HS a result of the generally expressed desire of the 
 University, a mass meeting of Harvard alumni and 
 undergraduates was held in Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, on 
 the evening of October 2 1 . President Donald of the Senior 
 class presided. He expressed the purpose of the meeting in 
 the following words : 
 
 "This meeting has been called in order that a fitting 
 tribute in the form of a lasting memorial may be erected to 
 the memory of the Harvard men who fell in the late war, and 
 in appreciation of those other Harvard men whose lives were 
 not required." 
 
 President Donald then read the following letter from 
 Colonel Roosevelt : 
 
 New York, October 20, 1898. 
 
 Gentlemen, — Will you tell the members of the under- 
 graduates' meeting that in all sincerity it is absolutely 
 impossible to leave this State now. That alone prevents my 
 being with them. I should rather be with them than at any 
 other meeting, because it does seem to me that Harvard 
 should take some such action as is proposed. I feel closely 
 drawn to all Harvard men ; and how can I help feeling most 
 closel)^ draw^n to those who lay with me in the trenches and 
 who fought beside me at Santiago ? Surely Harvard will see 
 that some memorial is erected to those of her sons who gladly 
 gave their young lives when it seemed to them that the 
 country called for the offering. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 Theodore Roosevelt. 
 
 President Kliot was next introduced and spoke in full as 
 follows : 
 
 "Brother Roosevelt's phrase, 'Gave his young life,' is 
 a good one enough, but how much it means ; these youths 
 who died in this Cuban war had given what you all are 
 looking forward to with intense hope, expectation and delight, 
 
 39 
 
satisfaction and joy. Life is over with them. For you it is 
 just opening. Imagine for an instant what they have given. 
 It is all done with them, for they cannot experience the joys, 
 the lights, the hope which fills your heart with anticipation. 
 A human life is gone for them. 
 
 " What did they give their lives for? We have been 
 asking that question, and sometimes we get an adverse 
 answer. We all notice the sentiment that this war was not 
 worth fighting for ; that this war will bring upon the country 
 unforeseen evils ; that the young men had no cause to go to 
 this war ; that educated young men, in particular, ought to 
 have known better than to have gone to such a war. I do 
 but repeat what I hear. These views seem to me to be 
 unsound, 5^et if sound, irrelevant ; have we no right to 
 •question these objections tonight ? 
 
 ' ' Shall we commemorate the sacrifices of these, our young 
 comrades ? What does this building teach ? What has it 
 been teaching to the youth of Harvard for thirty- j^ears ? 
 What does it say to the men who have gone in and out here 
 during their whole college lives ? Has it not said to them, it 
 is noble to die for 3'our country ? Has it not said to them, if 
 you die for j^our country- your name shall be written up 
 somewhere on the grounds of the college ? I, for one, feel 
 that Memorial Hall had said just that to all those who went 
 to this Cuban war last spring. It has said to them, you shall 
 be remembered here if you fall. Now, was there anjlhing 
 about the moral quality of this war which should lead to the 
 disappointment of this hope, to the breaking of that promise ? 
 I cannot think so ; we do not know toda}' what the issues of 
 this war are to be. 
 
 ' ' How much did those young men know about the 
 issues of this war when the}^ went ? How much can any 
 generation of any young men probably know about the issues 
 of any war to which the}' may be summoned b}- the Govern- 
 ment of their country ? I am sure the young men themselves 
 did not know anything about the issues of the Civil War ; 
 they had no vision of its issue ; they went because they loved 
 their country and because the existence of their country 
 seemed to be threatened ; they went because they loved the 
 
 40 
 
Union and found that that Union was in danger. Now these 
 are elementarj^ instances to which the youth of any nation 
 must respond so long as war is the inevitable method of 
 settling disputes which grow out of human ignorance and 
 passion. 
 
 "Again, what is the real, serious strength of this 
 country among the nations of the earth, when we keep no 
 standing army and but a small navy ? Why has the opinion 
 and the word of the United States been respected among the 
 nations of the earth, when to all appearances we were with- 
 out the means of physically enforcing them ourselves ? It is 
 not because in this free countrj^ it is proper that when our 
 Government needs the force, the young men spring to arms. 
 The ver}'- reason why we have been able to get on with a 
 standing army of 25,000 men among 70,000,000 of people is 
 that foreign nations and our own people believe that when 
 our Government calls for troops the troops would be forth- 
 coming, and that quick, and that without much stopping to 
 reason, or to anticipate the issues of the threatening strife. 
 If in the future this country shall be able to get on well and 
 hold a strong place among the nations of the earth without 
 maintaining such armies and navies as have burdened the 
 other nations of the earth, it will be because the other nations 
 and we ourselves believe that when the Government of this 
 country summons its appeal to battle, the youth shall come. 
 Now this is just what our comrades who had died in this 
 Cuban war did ; and I believe that they should be lastingly 
 commemorated on these grounds. 
 
 ' ' But I would not advise that any hasty action be taken 
 with regard to the form of the memorial. On looking back 
 on Memorial Hall I see that it was several years alter the 
 close of the Civil War before this building began to rise on 
 this spot, and there were good reasons for the delay in the 
 designing of the tribute. We do not yet know how many 
 graduates and sons of Harvard were enlisted in this war ; 
 they keep dying here and here. I^et us not be too quick to 
 imagine what form of memorial shall be raised to these 
 friends of ours whose lives have been given in this war. Let 
 us declare here that, so far as in us lies, they shall be 
 
 41 
 
worthily commemorated here, but let us wait until we know 
 how many are to be commemorated in this war ; let us wait 
 until we know more than we now do about the issues of this 
 war. It is true that the memory of those who fall in any 
 war is affected by the issues of the war. There is no doubt 
 that men hold in remembrance longer and more dearly those 
 who fought in a war which turns out to be a war for civiliza- 
 tion, for the progress of mankind. I^et us wait, then, until 
 we know something more than we now know about the ulti- 
 mate issues of the strife in which our comrades fell, but let 
 us absolutely determine that they shall be affectionately and 
 honorably remembered here." 
 
 The next speaker introduced was J. B- Norton Shaw, 
 '98, who said: 
 
 ' ' The work of commemoration should fall to us since the 
 men who gave their lives were a part of us, and to us, next 
 to their families, the loss comes nearest." Shaw then related 
 a story of Stanley Hollister, when the latter was in the 
 'Varsity crew, and it seemed admirably to show the spirit 
 that animated the man, who though twice badly wounded in 
 the trenches at San Juan continued bravely fighting to the 
 end. Continuing he said: " The memorial should commem- 
 orate not only those who gave their lives for the country, 
 but also those who were left behind in camp, and who did 
 their simple duties faithfully." 
 
 Major Higginson was the last speaker of the evening. 
 He said : 
 
 "Thirty-four years ago, while our army was lying care- 
 lessly at Cedar Creek, in the Shenandoah valley, it was 
 set upon suddenly and almost routed by the Confederates. 
 Sheridan turned the defeat into victory. But in the very 
 moment of triumph Charles I/Owell was mortally wounded 
 while leading his men on. His ideal, which, it may be said, 
 the Harvard men in this war have exemplified, was to look 
 strangers in the face and to speak the truth. It is not neces- 
 sary to speak here of the righteousness of this war. It came 
 and is finished victoriously, for which we are grateful. In 
 
 42 
 
the Civil War the Northerners fought to maintain our national 
 integrity and to wipe out our own great national sin — while 
 in this Cuban war we all fought to wipe out the sin of another 
 nation. 
 
 ' ' War is hideous under all circumstances, but this Cuban 
 war has brought us some advantages. Though the South- 
 erners had accepted the results of the Civil War with gener- 
 osity and real philosophy, yet nothing could have so welded 
 the country together as this foreign war. Think of the old 
 Confederate, General Wheeler, saying : 'Ah, you don't know 
 how good it feels to wear once more the uniform of the United 
 States.' The war has set forth in strong colors the dauntless, 
 steady qualities of our negro soldiers. It has called out a 
 strong wave of enthusiastic devotion to our country through- 
 out the land. If, as we hope, it has prepared a silent alliance 
 between England and the United States, it has done much 
 toward the peace of the world, for no nation or nations will 
 lightly take up a quarrel with the combined English-speaking 
 peoples. 
 
 ' ' But in any case the wishes, the feelings, the motives 
 of Harvard students seemed to me the same in 1861 and in 
 1898. I cannot distinguish between them. Last spring the 
 students said, ' Our country calls us for the sake of humanity 
 and of good government, and we are going to meet the call. 
 We cannot stop now to consider the causes of the war, else 
 we shall be too late. Good bye.' They went to serve their 
 country without hesitation or counting of costs. As to con- 
 duct in service or deserts, whether it was David Goodrich 
 and his men storming the heights of San Juan, or George 
 Norman fearlessly carrying out Wainwright's orders in the 
 fierce attack on Cervera's fleet and in rescuing the drowning 
 Spanish sailors ; whether it was Dr. Burrell or Dr. Bradford 
 planning and toiling day and night to save the sick men ; or 
 Sherman Hoar, seeking out the fever-stricken camps or tend- 
 ing the sick men in railroad stations, or wrestling with 
 Secretary Alger or Surgeon Sternberg for honest care of the 
 soldiers, fighting for others while unconsciously pouring out 
 his life blood until he could no longer stand ; whether it was 
 lyouis Frothingham doing patrol duty on his gunboat, or the 
 
 43 
 
class poet, Guy Scull, cleaning his horses at Tampa on his 
 class day and longing to be in the fight ; whether it was 
 Colonel Wood, once a Harvard ledical student, who led his 
 Rough Riders .so gallantly in CuLa, and who is now establish- 
 ing law and order in Santiago ; or the future governor of 
 New York State, who throws his wh tl^ 'trength and might 
 into every- contest ; whether it is tl^ or the dead — it 
 
 is all one. They all seized the oppoiti .uy and freely gave 
 what they had and what they were, and never counted the 
 cost. 
 
 " It is good for people to feel and to act in this way, and 
 to estimate their own value only as what it can accomplish 
 for others. Among many Harvr rd umni who have labored 
 in the hospital, three come to my m d — merely as samples. 
 They said to me, ' It is my vacation and I have time to help. 
 What can I do to help ? ' And they went to Cuba or to 
 Montauk Point, where they worked intelligently and un- 
 sparingly until the agony was past — and then one word to 
 us, ' Thank you for the chance.' That is the true spirit of 
 Han-ard." 
 
 J. H. Perkins, '98, then offered the following resolutions, 
 which were unanimously adopted : 
 
 ' ' Whereas, During the war with Spain many undergrad- 
 uates and alumni of Harvard, impelled by their sense of 
 patriotism, enlisted in the army and navy of the United 
 States, and 
 
 ' ' Whereas, In the loyal performance of their duty several 
 met death, 
 
 ''Therefore, We, their comrades and friends, to express 
 our love for them and our pride in their happy memor>^ do 
 
 ' 'Resolve, That a committee be appointed by the Chairman 
 which shall be empowered to take such steps as may seem to 
 it proper toward the erection of a worthy memorial at 
 Hansard."
