Within a year there must be nearly 40,000 officers in our army. We have now only a small fraction of that number, and even in the regular army there is scarcity of officers competent to take hold of a body of men and instill in them the principles of obedience and discipline and the rudiments of modern military science. But the regular army man, no matter how limited his practice may have been in that kind of work, is in the way to master it quickly.

Many feel that they are making great sacrifices in their efforts to become officers either in the army or the navy. While such are giving a fraction of their leisure time to study and drill, the waiters at Memorial and the Freshman Dining Halls, who have formed a company, are voluntarily giving a far greater proportion of their free hours to similar instruction.

Hockey, wrestling, and gymnastics have drawn only a fraction of the students into mid-winter sports, and boxing offers additional training for large numbers. Those who cannot compete on University teams have found a novel and strenuous way to bridge over the period between, say, fall tennis and Leiter cup baseball. These practical merits, confirmed by the excellent spirit of the spectators last...
