"We are gathered here this morning to express collectively and individually our appreciation to the men and women who died for their country." Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said this morning in a salute to the dead of all wars. Veterans Day services were held at the base of the Memorial Campanile.
The Rev. John H. Patton, professor of religion, offered a prayer. "The University is grateful to the University Veterans Organization for spearheaded this ceremony. It shall become an annual affair," he said.
"They have given when called upon to protect us, let us dedicate ourselves today to those principles of decency, and honor, and freedom, and fair play which are the hallmarks of this great republic," Dr. Murphy said.
Pledge Of Principles
Dr. Murphy asked "Why do men fight?" and then answered his own question saying "Men fight to protect their homes, loved ones and above everything else, their principles."
Stand At Attention

A formation of Navy and Air Force cadets stood at attention during the service in the bend of Memorial Drive as it swings in front of the World War II memorial.
James D. Atkinson, president of the UVO, laid a wreath at the base of the campanile as "taps" sounded out over the valley. The honor service ended and students returned to classes as the bugles echoed faintly in the distance.
Dr. Murphy excused classes for 10 minutes so students could take part in the service.

Two Groups Landscaping
It's confusing as to who is doing the landscaping on the campus. The University is placing the sod along the south side of the campus as well as putting in the evergreens and other bushes, but two groups are working on the project.
According to the contract, the construction company which is landscape south of Malott Hall must sod the area which has a grade or slope. When the sod is down and the company is through with the area, the University buildings and grounds department begins the planting of shrubs and bushes.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, emphasized that the terms of the contract determined which group would do what job of putting the finishing touches on the campus area being landscaped.
The University has completed planting evergreens around Carruth and O'Leary Halls
