...proposition of an all-college summer training camp as recently advocated by the Harvard CRIMSON, calling for the pooling of interests of the infantry regiments of Harvard and Princeton, the artillery of Yale, and the engineers of Boston Tech., although possessing innumerable advantages in the way of maintaining college friendships and rivalries during the war, is not to be accepted too readily until it has been thoroughly analyzed as regards practicability...

Among the subjects taken up in the work this summer will be drills in close and extended order, signalling, topography, entrenchments, instruction in the use of the bayonet and grenades, combat exercises, armament, military hygiene, first-aid, camp sanitation, aeroplane photography, tactics, and the plan of campaign as demonstrated in the present war. The tuition fee will...
