Cutshaw and John B. Purcell. After some discussion it was agreed that the cost of the crosses should be met by voluntary contributions. On motion of Colonel Purcell, the class of 1903 was elected to membership in the association. Mr. Anderson read a letter received from Dr. George W.

He is thought to be the oldest living cadet. A committee was directed to write a suitable letter to Dr. Williams and his wife.

Meanwhile the 34th Massachusetts, which was composed of seasoned veterans, and which had been immediately to the left of the cadets, falling back into a clump of cedars, was hotly engaged with Edgar's battalion, when Captain Wise moved the cadets on their flank, and they broke and ran.
