The investigation which the Alumni Bulletin is conducting for the purpose of ascertaining the names of all University graduates who are directly connected with the European war has brought to light the following additional information.
Major Morton J. Henry L.'91, U. S. Army, is assistant military attache at the American Embassy in Paris, having charge of the disbursements to American citizens to whose credit money has been deposited in the U. S. Treasury Department.
William B. Johnston '97 M.D. has been practising medicine, since the beginning of the war in the outskirts of the town of Vernon, France. He has also been in direct charge of a small hospital which Mr. and Mrs. Macmonnies fitted out and gave to the French Red Cross Association.
Andre Cheronnet Champollion '02 has enlisted in the French army, and at last accounts was serving in a platoon of candidates for promotion. His address is care of Morgan, Harges & Co., 31 Boulevard Hausmann, Paris. Phillips S. Reed '05 served in the hospitals of Paris and also had charge of the accounting and disbursement of the funds subscribed for the American Ambulance Corps, which maintained one hospital at Paris and another at Neuilly.
George Williamson '05, of Montreal, died of wounds received as a lieutenant in the West Kent Territorials in Belgium.
Rufus A. Van Voast M.D. '06 is an assistant to Dr. Martin in the Second Regiment Etranger.
Arthur Sweetser '11 has written interestingly his experiences in the war. These articles have appeared in the Transcript, the New York Evening Post and the World's Work.

Robert Fellman G.S. '13-'14 is a lieutenant in the French Army. He took part in the defence of Belfort.
Professor W. E. Rappard of the University of Geneva, an instructor in the University in 1911-12 and an assistant professor of political economy in 1912-13 is now serving with the mobilized Swiss army as an officer of horse artillery. Shortly before the breaking out of the war he published a volume "La Revolution industrielle et les origines de la protection legale du travail en Suisse" and dedicated it, "A mesancieus collegues de l'Universite Harvard." Unfortunately the words about the University in this preface would lose much of their worth by conversion into English.
