He also proposes to establish squad drill in connection with gymnasium events, under the direction of Mr. Lathrop. All men who wish to enter for this drill, in connection with any gymnasium event, are also requested to register their names at the gymnasium on Monday, and all who have attained a moderate degree of proficiency in any events are requested to be at Dr. Sargent's office at 3 P.
