Show moreADDITIONAL INFORMATION What was your attitude toward military service in general and toward your call in particular? I went with the First Ill. Artillery in 1916 to the Border in order to prepare for the expected Great war. What were the mental and physical effects of your army experience on yourself? Some effects that were mental I noticed for two years after discharge from the service. What elements of your college life and work were most valuable to you in service? The ground work I had in science I found particularly valuable while I was taking instruction from French engineers in heavy artillery, and thereafter, as well of course. What is your present feeling regarding universal military training, etc.? I am convinced of the necessity of universal military service in the United States; it would not cause only our foreign problems to vanish, but it would so make for better citizenry that many of our acute internal troubles which now result as many think from too high a proportion of foreign born would not arise. If you took part in the fighting, what impressions were made upon you by this experience? I can not say anything trite in this matter. Photographs-If possible, enclose one taken before entering the service and one taken afterwards in uniform, both signed and dated - also interesting snapshots taken in camps or overseas. A likeness to be mailed later.

Show moreADDITIONAL INFORMATION What was your attitude toward military service in general and toward your call in particular? Deemed it a necessity and enlisted without waiting to be called. What were the mental and physical effects of your army experience on yourself? Slight physical benefit perhaps though have always taken physical training. Mental effects are principally a deep antipathy toward a military regime of any sort and a mental picture of the way some things were bungled. What elements of your college life and work were most valuable to you in service? The mental training that gave me the power of will to forget what I saw. What is your present feeling regarding universal military training, etc.? Physically it is good for the youth of our land for a strictly limited period. Politically it is to my mind the worst thing that could happen. If you took part in the fighting, what impressions were made upon you by this experience? That cannot be discussed lightly or in a few words. Photographs-If possible, enclose one taken before entering the service and one taken afterwards in uniform, both signed and dated - also interesting snapshots taken in camps or overseas. One photo taken before entry into the service and one taken in Luxembourg after the armistice.
