...Freshman Dormitories. It is probable that this program will provide for a concentration of all field work and drill in the summer, with only classes during the rest of the year. It is also more than probable that guns and caissons will find a place in the Harvard Regiment, and that "Left two zero, down five, three thousand" may be understood by the future undergraduate. These plans must be formulated slowly, carefully, with a view to changing conditions, and it would be unwise to attempt to put them into effect before fall...

As a result of this, he was commissioned first lieutenant in the National Guard in 1909, and held that rank until his regiment became part of the regular army in March...

Certainly we need it, as well as the chance to drill our replacements which a trip to rest billets would give, for we've quite a good many new men now--filling the gaps left in our ranks; for since June 1st this regiment has suffered some pretty severe losses--and I believe they're the smallest of any regiment in the division. Yet, as a regiment, we've done ourselves proud--received the Croix de Guerre; slaughtered huge numbers of Boche; stopped their attack across the Marne on the river bank, and only fell back...
