Lieutenant Douglas Campbell '17 holds the distinction of becoming the first ace whose training has been from start to finish conducted in American schools. Campbell, by downing his fifth opponent, has attained that honor and stands supreme among American flyers.

The University is proud to be represented by such a man, Campbell is doing his part to avenge the deaths of his classmates, Meeker, Adams and Ely, as well as the loss of Chadwick and Cheney and other Harvard aviators. Campbell is but the advance guard of thousands of other university men whose task it is to make the air an uncomfortable place for German flyers. He has made a good start toward a glorious career, and the CRIMSON wishes him the best of luck in future encounters with the Hun. It is men like him upon whom we rely to gain the aerial supremacy so badly needed on the Western Front.
