(Special to The Bulletin)
. BELMONT, N. C—In a recent
survey made by Contact, the stu
dent publication of Belmont Ab
bey College, it was learned that
over seven hundred alumni of the
Abbey are now enrolled in the
Armed Forces of the United States.
It is impossible to ascertain the ex
act number, it was stated, because
of the lack of information especial
ly of students and graduates of
over fifteen years. The large ma
jority of this list are hte students
and graduates of the past ten
years.
Of the number in active service
eight have already given their
lives for their country. The exact
quota who have been wounded has
not yet been able to be counted
because complete statistics are not
at hand, due to the necessity of
continual revisal- There is a large
number also who are lost and are
prisoners of war and this list also
is unstable due to new additions
being made to the list almost con-
santly.
Contact expects in the near fu
ture to publish the complete sta
tistics for the information of the
students and alumni. An effort is
being made to complete the survey
and all former students, graduates,
and their parents, are asked to co
operate. A memorial is being plan
ned which will record the contri
bution of the Abbey Alumni to the
defense of their country. One out
standing fact demonstrated by the
study is that the largest percentage
of the students up to the present
are officer personnel in the air
corps of the various branches
the military forces.
