General Pew showed a rather unusual ability to attract to his aid officers, including especially foreign officers, capable of giving competently modernized instruction, and it may be hoped that he will succeed in this effort again. Whether it be in the famous trenches at Fresh Pond, or in the trench system and wide manoeuvre fields available at Williamstown, here are opportunities in the coming summer which no college man should miss if he yet has hope of performing an officer's service...
