Word has been received from Paris that Ronald Wood Hoskier '18, of the American Esquadrille of the French Flying Corps now serving in France, was killed in an aerial combat last Tuesday. He was a corporal, and had on repeated occasions distinguished himself for daring and brilliancy of operation. During the offensive that is now in progress, Hoskier engaged a German "Taube" and was seen to fall with his airplane, landing within the German lines.
Last June, Hoskier obtained leave of absence from the University and went to France to serve in the Ambulance Corps. Later, however, he changed to aviation work.
Hoskier was 21 years old, and a native of South Orange, N. J. He prepared at St. George's School. During his Freshman year he played on his dormitory hockey seven, and was also a member of the golf and of the fencing teams.
