At the outbreak of the World War he went to Fort Sheridan and was commissioned a first lieutenant. His service in France was as liaison officer with the 32d Division and as instructor in the artillery school at Saumur. Captain Knight served in France for nineteen months and was discharged from the army at Camp Grant in August, 1919. Returning to Rockford, Brother William became associated in the practice of law with his father and brother, William D. Knight (Dartmouth '08). Arthur was active in civic affairs and was a charter member of American Legion post at Rockford. He was a member of the University Club and participated actively in the work of the Methodist Episcopal church and Sunday school. At the funeral service, the sermon was preached by the Rev. Jesse S. Dancey, a member of Phi Gamma Delta, in whose progress Arthur was always keenly interested.
