...commanded by Major S. A. Welldon, F. A., U. S. A., and the Naval Unit is commanded by Rear Admiral C. M. Chester, U. S. N., retired. Of the 1600 students enrolled in the university, almost half are in the artillery school; a large per cent of the rest are in the Naval Unit, and the men who did not choose either of these branches are fairly evenly divided between the Engineers, the Chemists, the Signal Corps, the Medical Corps, and the Army Laboratory School, which has been recently moved to New Haven from Leavenworth, under the command of Colonel...

...race along a half-mile course will be held tomorrow between the S. A. T. C., Naval Unit and Freshman crews. The Freshman crew is composed of Junior S. A. T. C. men. Thereafter races will be held twice a week for the rest of the season. The crews for tomorrow's races have already been selected, but this should by no means exclude other candidates from coming out. In fact, there is still a large opportunity for late applicants. More service men are needed and all S. A. T. C. and Naval Unit men will be excused from...
