The Roll of Honor presented to the University on Memorial Day contained the names only of those sons of Harvard whose deaths befell them in the service of the Allies and the United States in the war against Germany. An impression to the contrary was due to the fact that a newspaper, in an advance account of the Memorial Day ceremonies, reprinted from the Bulletin an earlier, unofficial list of all the Harvard men, including Germans, who have fallen in the war, without informing itself about the names actually appearing on the panel accepted by the University.

The Roll of Honor now stands in the entrance corridor of the Widener Library building, and since Memorial Day several names have already been added to the list. It is frankly a contemporary memorial, a current token of recognition, not intended to stand as the University's permanent tribute to its fallen sons. From London a correspondent of the Bulletin has recently written: "At University College yesterday I saw one side of the corridor lined with photographs, four rows deep of graduates and students killed in this war. When one goes the provost writes a letter of sympathy and asks for the photograph. All are framed alike. This is a suggestion. Perhaps Harvard has a better scheme." The Roll of Honor recently set up is not a better, but merely another scheme; and one does not exclude the other. While the number of our dead is still comparatively small, would it not be well to adopt the London plan, and begin at once to place the pictures of the men on the Honor Roll in immediate proximity to the Roll itself? --The Aliemni Bulletin.
