News was received in Cambridge last night of the death from pneumonia of Ensign Thomas Milton Hodgens, Jr., '20, of Greenwich, Conn., in New York City yesterday morning. At the outbreak of the war Hodgens left College to enlist in the Naval Reserve. In the fall of 1917 he returned to College on leave and enrolled in the Naval courses which were then given by the University.
Early last summer he was called back into active service and stationed at Newport. On the basis, of his previous naval work in the University Hodgens took the examinations for ensign in August, passed them, and received his commission the last of September. He had just obtained his discharge from the service when he was stricken with pneumonia.
