...present war tactics, if not through the more personal contact of the lecture hall or drill field. And since he is so well known to us, we are fully aware of the fact that he is an officer with a keen military mind, and an excellent grasp of the means and methods of modern warfare. We have seen but little of him this year, but we have heard often of the work which he and his associates have accomplished at Devens. In fact there is not one member of the R. O. T.

C.'s and the men formerly classed as Quota A are men above the former standard. If they feel themselves underestimated it would be well for them to recall the words of a famous American General, who remarked, when detailed...
