MILITARY CAREER OF GENERAL FRANCIS A. WALKER. •ORE th;m a dozen years the Massachusetts histi- tute of Technology has seen at its head a man who as a President, scholar, and soldier, has been its pride ever since the time he assumed the duties of presiding ofUcer. But although we know him as a President, although we have read his life history, there are few of us, if any, who know what Gen. Francis A. Walker has achieved during those years of toil and trouble known as the Civil War. Herewith is presented a short sketch of the most interesting and important features of General Walker ' s military career and life in the field.

In March of the following year, the army having been further organized by the President ' s directions into army corps. General Couch took command of the First Division of the Fourth Corps under General Keyes. May 5, 1862, the division fought its first battle at Williamsburg, and the General, in his report of the battle, said that Captain Walker rendered him most valuable assistance, maintaining perfect composure while under the 24
