Dartmouth's roll of honor in the war grows constantly. Since the publication of the last number of the MAGAZINE three more names have been added to the sad list of those who have given their lives for their country. This now makes a total of eight Dartmouth men who have died in service since the war began.
Sergeant Frederic Drew Day '15 died in France on January 25 of meningitis. Sergeant Day, whose home was in Auburndale, Massachusetts, was serving in Company A, 101st U. S. Engineers, under General Pershing and had been in France since last autumn.
Charles Alexander Hopkins '20, a cadet in the aviation instruction detachment of the American Overseas Contingent, met his death in an aeroplane accident in France on January 30. Hopkins, who came to College from Newark, New Jersey, went to France last May with the first Dartmouth Ambulance Corps, but soon after his arrival there was transferred to the aviation service. He was slightly injured in an accident in December, but had fully recovered from the effects of that injury at the time of the fatal accident; no details of the latter have as yet been received.
Conrad Philip Hazen '06 also met his death in an aeroplane accident. Hazen, who until last summer had been employed by the New York Telephone and Teleeraoh Comoanv. took a four months' training course at the ground school at Atlanta, Georgia, immediately after his enlistment. In October he went to France to complete his training; at the time of his death, which occurred on February 11, he had been flying for about a month. Hazen was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hazen of Norwich, Vermont, and prepared for college at Hanover High School. He was married last September, a few weeks before sailing, to Miss Catherine Metzger. Mrs. Hazen, since her husband's departure for France, has been herself engaged in war work, acting as an assistant to C. G. Dubois, comptroller of the American Red Cross.
