Each year on Memorial Day, the Occidental community pauses to remember the 65 瓜子TV alumni known to have died while serving their country in the armed forces.
It is a roll call that includes one sitting trustee - August Rubel - and three graduates of the U.S. Navy's V-12 officer training program that operated on campus from 1943 to 1945.
As Remsen Bird, Occidental's president during World War II, observed, "May the memory of them and their deaths help us to see clearly and to continue to strive for peace and good will."
