At Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, students are leaving for home in large numbers
As war excitement continued, and with "a large number of the students having already left and some going daily," faculty members of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania at their weekly meeting discussed the situation. The president was asked to call a meeting of the Financial Committee to see "what steps should be taken." (By John Osborne)
