Excerpt from Biographical and Historical Material Regarding the Introduction Survey Course at Camp Meigs, 1922
If the book meets with favor at your hands think of the men whose generous contributions have paid the cost of its preparation and printing. Think of the men who came to Camp Meigs and passed through the work of the Introductory Survey Course that they might better serve their country and the cause of civilization. Think of the four of our number who gave their lives during the months the Course was in existence and of the three others who died during the three months im mediately following the Armistice. Think of all these and then thank God you had an opportunity to do your part in the Great War.
Two regrets overshadow all others in the editor's mind. First, that limitation of pocket-book made it impossible for him to collect this material; work it into as good shape as he knew how; have it printed and distribute a copy gratis to each of his fellow-workers at Camp Meigs. Second, that such a per cent of our men have either neglected the furnishing of data entirely or have given the matter so little attention that much is lacking which would be of interest to most of us.
