Mon

Left college and went to France in May to enter military Y.M.C.A. work as physical director. Was married before he went. In January 1919 was still in France.

Moy

Passed local district medical examination for military qualifications about the middle of March, in Springfield. There was no question as to his physical condition at that time. May 22, thought his record with hand dynamometer was better than during the low-diet experiment. Was going without supper to save time and money; thought he was eating less than previous to experiment. Appetite less keen since omitting supper. Ate three meals a day up to April 3. During the diet experiment he tried to make the college swimming team, but was too slow. After experiment, he tried again but was too fat; later trained down and made the team. Died of influenza and pneumonia at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, Illinois, in the fall of 1918.

Pea

May 21, in college. Said that after the diet experiment he became so heavy that he could not win a place on the track team in the distance run. Was too heavy for the 2-mile race and was trained for the half-mile. In two track meets he did not win a place, although he could reasonably have been expected to have done so, as the year before he had been captain of the track team and best man on the team. His failure was considered as being due to putting on too much flesh after the low diet. When seen May 21, had attended a dance the night before and danced hard until after 12 o'clock. Had influenza and pneumonia in the fall of 1918, but recovered. In January 1919 was lieutenant in the U. S. infantry. April 1919 in Italy as athletic director and organizer for the Young Men's Christian Association.

Pec

Went to France early in April for military Y.M.C.A. service. The vessel he sailed on was torpedoed, and although he was the last man to be awakened, he succeeded in saving his own life and that of another man. In January 1919 was still in France.

Spe

Returned to college on April 2, 1918. Reported to be in good condition. Owing to his serious illness, his body-weight in the spring was essentially that at the time the experiment was begun. Obviously his illness played an important r61e in his post-diet experience and undoubtedly resulted in his more ready adjustment to a normal diet than was the case with the other men. Later in the year was second lieutenant in the Students' Army Training Corps, Columbia University. In the spring of 1919, still in college.

Tom

Married on March 24, 1918. On May 22 was temporarily away from college, assisting in a Red Cross drive at Yonkers, New York, for a week. This work was done in addition to his regular college duties. Was intending to finish his course. Had rallied from his operation, and during the few weeks previous had been in the gymnasium, although as a result of his operation he had not been able to do all the gymnasium work. In general, he seemed to be in good physical condition.

Vea

In college May 21. Later, was drafted for the Army and in June 1918, was at Camp Upton, New York; afterwards went to France as corporal in the infantry and had considerable service in the front lines. In January 1919 was still in France.

All of the men in Squad B were in one branch or another of the Government service during the war. Fis, Sch, and Van were in the army (Sch in the Medical Corps, and Van second lieutenant assigned to the 63rd Pioneer Infantry); Sne, Kim, Lon, and Tho were in the navy; How, Ham, Liv, and Wil were in the Students' Army Training Corps.

In March 1919 six of the men were in college (Fis, How, Ham, Liv, Van, and Wil), were active in athletics, and in excellent health. Sne and Tho had graduated. Kim, Lon, Sne, and Tho were still in the navy. Kim and Lon expected to return to college when released, Sne was an ensign, and Tho was training for a commission.
