When the World War broke into the college career of William H. Meanix '18, it also prevented him from getting his "H" in track as a member of the 1917 team. To remedy this the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports yesterday voted to award him his letter.
Meanix had competed on the indoor track team during the winter, but with America's entry into the War outdoor spring practice was discontinued. Meanix would have been voted an "H" in May, 1917, in company with the other members of that year's shortened cinder season, but the Committee believed that he would return to take a degree next year. However off account of his war service and college work he received his degree as of the class of 1918.
