"Crowns and Clowns," the play of the year, adds another list of names, some doubtless to be famous in the years to come, to the many lists which have appeared in the frolics of the club for almost a century and a quarter.

The first camp will be held at the end of the first year of military training in order that the student may be taught the fundamentals of drill and military view point. The second camp will come after the student has completed all of his theoretical training so that he will be competent at this time to determine firing data and to conduct target practice with big guns...
