Stunning fact about UT and World War I

[HllCountryHorn]

The bronze plaque on the back of the Littlefield Fountain (which is a World War I memorial) lists the names of 100 UT students who gave their lives in World War I. Almost all of those deaths would’ve been in the six month period between May and November 1918. I had a little trouble finding it, but the best information I discovered was that UT enrollment was about 2500 in 1916 so, simply mind-boggling. That would be like 2000 current UT students being killed in a six-month war today.
