McNeill, St. john's sprang into prominence by being classed three consecutive years by the War Department as one of the ten distinguished military institutions of the United States, the highest possible rating any college or university may win. Our present com- mandant, Lieut. John Millikin, 5th Cavalry, U. S. A., is maintaining the high standard set hy Lieut. Mc- Neill, and has promulgated many changes worthy of note. Under his direction a unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps of the Army has been established. Training begins with theoretical in- struction, closely followed by practical application, under which the ability to shoulder responsibility is formed. Besides our daily drill, practice marches, maneuvers and gymnastics, an annual camp is held. During past years St. John's has put one honor man in the Army each year. However, this year the VVar Department re- quested ten men from the present Senior Class and ten from last yea1 s class to accept commissions as second lieutenants in the Army, ten men to be com- missioned in the Marine Corps and three in the Pay Corps of the Navy.
