'In the nation's service' is next stop for salutatorian

To write his senior thesis on the development of tanks in the U.S. Army, Graham Phillips immersed himself in the study of tank design, deployment and doctrine. That knowledge should come in handy next fall, when he will serve as a member of an Army tank crew.

But first he will fulfill another responsibility: Phillips has been chosen as the class of 2005's salutatorian. He will continue the Princeton tradition of delivering a speech in Latin at Commencement May 31.

"I think now more than ever the Army needs as many qualified and talented people as it can get," said Phillips, who enlisted last October. In July he will report for basic training at the Fort Knox Armor Center in Kentucky.

"I don't know if I'll get sent to Iraq, but I certainly would be willing to go if I did," Phillips said. "I don't agree with all the dimensions of Bush's foreign policy, but regardless, I think it's important that the best people be there doing the best job they can."
