...even a slight experience in college, provided, of course, he has not so closely locked the doors of his own being as to shut out all possible influence around him, must feel himself benefitted and elevated.

Taps sounds at ten o'clock. The drills are varied and embrace every sort of practical exercise that a naval officer requires in the various duties he is called upon to perform. In the spring and fall, infantry, artillery, naval tactics, gunnery and seamanship drills are the programme. During the winter the classes drill separately, having fencing, boxing, dancing, gymnastics, signals work in the rigging...
