The Names that appear here--those of the Oberlinians who died as a consequence of the Second World War--will be carved in bronze and mounted onto the wall of the War Memorial Garden. The plaque will read: "To perpetuate the memory of the men of Oberlin College who among untold millions lost their lives in the Second World War 1939-1945. They paid the ultimate cost of war."

Inclusion was open to all Oberlin graduates and nongraduates (an x preceding a class year denotes a nongraduate) who died between September 1, 1939 (the invasion of Poland) and December 31, 1945, as armed-forces or merchant-marine personnel; noncombatants; Civilian Public Service personnel; or civilians under enemy fire.
