Mercer has in the student body
this fall two students who are rela
tives of Alvin C. York, of Tennes
see, who has been hailed as ~ the
greatest individual hero of the
World War.
The glamour attached to being a
war hero does not fall to the lot of
everyone, but many have the satis,
faction of claiming a relationship
with one who j^ayed a notable part
in the GreatTwar. Such is the case
of J. H/and J. L. York who are
among'the number of boys so for-
tanfite as fib be students at Mer
ger during the present term.

When questioned as to the degree
