Treman, chairman of the alumni committee in charge of raising funds for the university's war memorial, expressed themselves today in favor of erecting a separate memorial to Cornell's World War dead who had fought against the Allted cause. Treman announced that he had made the first contribution toward such memorial.
Farrand and Treman still oppose including the name of Hans Wagner, who died in the German ranks during the war, in the roll of honor in the memorial.
