Excerpt from Union College Alumni in the Civil War, 1861-1865
The preparation of this Record has been a great pleasure because of the feeling that simple justice was being done those who served in the Civil War. It was intended to be a compilation of Official Records and is to a great degree, but some information, which seemed fairly reliable, could not be confirmed from official sources. Such records will be easily recognized by the absence of official dates.
The Collegiate and honor degrees are given as of last known records.
When officers stayed in the service after the war that fact is indicated.
Brevet appointments were made "for gallant and meritorious services," which is implied where not stated.
It is hoped that the publication of this highly creditable Civil War record of Union"s Alumni will lead to the erection of a Permanent Memorial at the College.
"Yea, let all good things await
Him who cares not to be great
But as he saves or serves the state.
Not once or twice in our rough island-story
The path of duty was the way to glory."
