There is a tactics officer assigned to each com- pany to see that the cadets of the first class are not only supervising the underclassmen properly, hut to aid anyone in special problems that might arise as they go through their four years here. These officers help the individual cadets with problems of adjust- ment and studies, while maintaining the highest standards throughout the corps.

It is one of the more fascinating basics which future engineers will use in applying methods. Captain Hoag, also correctly addressed as Doc- tor Hoag, has Worked in the department, steadily improving it, during his last 20 years. This was his last year here and a Word of thanks for all of his hard Work is long due. He has helped organize and improve not only the various courses from nuclear physics down to chemistry here, but has also personally aided many cadets in achieving a successful career. As the head of the Nuclear Physics Club he taught its members reactor fundamentals and took them on tours olf the nuclear subs and Brookhaven National Labs. The high standing of his department in academ- ics and esteem is left behind him as remembrance of his hard work. mf, Doctor Hoag, Department Head
