The Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College War Record: The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the World War (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College War Record: The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the World War

In presenting this volume, the Mississippi A. And M. College, whose life and service cover the period beginning shortly after the ending of the war for Liberty and Union in the United States and extending to the triumphant ending of the war for Liberty and Democracy in the world, desires to place before its graduates, former students, and friends a brief summary of its share in the World War, with notes on the Civil War and the spanish-american War. In the first of the wars only Americans were engaged; in the last, though all the great nations of the world were belligerents, America proved in the end the decisive factor.

With the new age the College will be confronted with many new opportunities and duties. In preparing for the future this institution aims at still higher and quicker intellectual life, still better and more inspiring teaching, the enlargement of science and knowledge, and the advancement of human civilization.

The A. And M. College has already been mustered in for the big task of reconstruction, and backed by a record of service for forty years, it confidently appeals to the generous citizens of the State of Mississippi to provide it with the means of fulfilling its purpose.

J. Wendell bailey, Statistical Secretary and Editor of the War Bulletin.
