The Beloit Review.
In the group of sturdy young musketeers above will be found:
21 Beloit College; 3 clergymen (one of whom, Irving Maurer, is
now President of Beloit College); 2 physicians; 1 Ex-Mayor, (Harry
Adams); and 8 Educators. Rolf Rosman, commander of the Company,
was later promoted to Colonel. Sixteen members of that fine old
military unit are still residents of Beloit. It would be a difficult
assignment to search out anywhere in the country a unit that
could top old Company “L” in intellectuality.
The Review is indebted to Colonel Rosman for this rare print,
and for the interesting record of the subsequent achievements
of its privates, corporals, sergeants and officers.

but called off from memory the names of most of its members as
