The following is taken from the November issue of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce Activities. Lieut. Wilcox is a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Wilcox, superintendent of the Jasper county farm. He is another'example of the kind of young men Rensselaer produces: “Lieut. Jess W. Wilcox, former assistant rate clerk of the Freight and Traffic Division of the Chamber of Commerce, has received a rapid promotion in the Engineer Corps. He enlisted with the corps at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in July. Because of his ability in (handling army supply affairs he was rapidly promoted, and in September passed the examination for a 'lieutenancy. He is now stationed at Camp Alexandria, Newport News, Va.”
