THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION The editor of the Princeton daily argues, facetiously of course, that there is sure to be another war so why not pay the future soldiers now so they can enjoy it and got need it. One of the boys starting the idea at Princeton is Thomas Riggs, Jr., soi of former Governor Thomas Riggs of Alaska. Young Riggs is credited with being one of the organiz of college “veterans.” Credit | for the original idea, however, has been attributed to Willard Gallemore and William Walther, couple of }mu(»;:o graduates now employed in the Alaska Juneau |Mine.
