THE, ...C BA.RR.AC'KS. ... STILL Ecu-so TO MILITARY COMMANDS ' , Years have passed, bringing many changes M., to the grounds which once throbbed with military life, and yet the Barracks remains T unchanged. The other buildings, like people, have nearly forgotten their past, the Barracks alone remembers. Here, rooms still ring with military strategy, and young men, wearing not Civil War, but RCTC uniforms, climb the high porch steps and tread the old halls which echo with memories of an age gone by.
