ELON’S BIT
^^Early in 1917 Elon began to sense
j^|y||p approach of wat. Students were
HjPTgor for each day’s paper. War^s ap
proach created its own tense atmos
phere. Study lagged and restlessness
increased.
Then we "were at war. It was the
one topic wherever students met. In
looking back it seems we did not rec
ognize war for what it is, but thouglii
of it only as a grfat adventure.
The call reached some hearts sooner
than others. Each week boys slipped
away to join their favorite branch of
the service.
It is regretted that many dropped
»ut-and never-rG5Ufs>€d their education.
Quite a number of Elon men were
officers. Many boys were fortunate in
being near or with college friends.
Months passed. Feverish months of
training and action. Word passed from
' student to student of commissions, of
, whereabouts of other boys, and with
* it all came the sad news of a comrade
[ wounded or dead in service.
One of Odom’s lieutenants visited
; . him at a base hospital on the coast of
France. “ Happyhad been wounded
over a month. His officer was surprised
! at Odom’s good spirits and firm be
lief that he would soon be back in ac
tion.
Carl Miller’s interment near Lexing
ton, N. C., was impressive. On a Sun
day afternoon in summer several hun
dred relatives, friends, college mates
^ and men ranking high in military and
educational circles paid their respects
^ to Elon’s brave air fighter.
I We do not as yet have a complete
military record of Elon men. Nor will
we ever know all the work Elon girls
did for the cause. Another year we
hope to have much more to tell of
Elon’s part in the war. We do know
she did her bit gladly and honorably.
We miss, keenly our brave young men
who paid the full measure of love to
their country. G. C. D.

GREETINGS!
Greeting from Florida to Maroon and
Gold! Your “Road to Yesterday”
evokes many memories of the “days
that are no more,” and, too, a feeling
of benevolent resentment that no men
tion has yet been made in it of those
who crossed Elon’s lawns in the
“naughty-one” to “naughtj-nine”
period—hence (together with some long
distance persuasion from our amiable
secretary) this letter. The title of our
Alumni Column remind^ me also of a
similar clearing-house for news about
Elon’s older sons and daughters that
appeared first, in 1908 I believe it was,
in the short-lived and long since de
funct ELONIAN^ under the heading,
“Among Those of Other Days,” and
which carried at its mast-head the eu
phonious, rather high-sounding, but
nevertheless thought-provokiiig, line
from our old, ever new, friend, Virgil:
“Forsan et haec olim meminissee iuva-
bit. ” (You might offer a prize to the
student who can guess, the first time,
what member of the then, and present,
faculty, not excluding our splendid
President, inspired this motto!)
The Maroon and Gold is a pleasant
and anticipated visitor by Mrs. How
ell (nee Clara Moffitt, ’07) and myself
(’08). The names it most frequently
brings before our eyes are, indeed, un
familiar, but by a very little imagina
tion, by skipping the names so to speak,
the “news” is just about the same,
and hence just about as interesting as
it was yesterday, and as it will prob
ably be tomorrow. Our hearts often
run back to the Hill anyway, and bring
back to us some of the pleasantest recol
lections of life. The same thing must
be true of the others to whom “The
Road to Yesterday” has been so kindly
dedicated; and we hope that after your
prodding of the alumni’s inertia has
sufficiently aroused the torpidity that,
in the midst of a busy life, unfortun
ately settles down on us in respect of
things that are materially distant, even
though actually near and dear, our
Column may serve to gather up and
then keep close together the threads of
intercourse that the vagaries and for
tunes of the passing years have so wide
ly and regrettably scattered.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
CHARLES COOK HOWELL.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 8, 1922.

When the woman motorist was called
upon to stop, she asked, indignantly,
“What do you want with me?”
“You were traveling at forty miles
an hour,” answered the police officer.
“Forty miles an hour? Why, I
haven’t been out an kour,” said the
woman.
“Go ahead,” said the cfficer. “That’s
