' P .' . if- 'l ' p R. 0. T. C. , llgavllsq The past year found also the R.O.T.C. prominent in several activities connected with the college, the foremost of which was the reception to General Foch, where they did themselves proud by the soldierly and efficient manner in which they carried out their duty. It brought forth the highest praise from General Edwards and all other officials. Nor can we overlook the various entertainments and other functions in which the Band participated during the past year. It has lived up to its previous reputation as a splendid organization. Nor can one overlook the importance of the rifle competitions that have been held both within the R.O.T.C. and by the University Rifle Team and the R.O.T.C. Team in competition with other institutions. This year marked the first year of the annual inter-company indoor rifle competition which the non-member team, composed largely of Federal Board men, won, and so gained the distinction of being the first team to have its name engraved on the cup. But this match is merely an annual forerunner of the more important matches of the University Team. It develops the material and enables the necessary practice for picking the best men for the team. The season this year has been especially successful. PLATTSBURG CAMP Another activity which the R.O.T.C. brings to the University is the summer camp. Fortunate, indeed, were the thirty-four students who attended the 1920 Camp at Plattsburg. Here they enjoyed all the pleasures of a college campus and a summer resort combined. Aside from the numerous moonlight trips on Lake Champlain, trips to Ticonderoga, Lake Placid, lylontreal, etc., they made friends with students from some forty other institutions and for five weeks took pot luckl' and swapped stories with them. Well may Boston University be proud of its Delegation at Camp last summer. In their work they were ninth out of forty-three colleges and stood highest of all those of New England. Aside from this, they had seven members on the winning baseball team, and Mr. Wilson was rated seventh for general elhciency. The B.U. dinner at Plattsburg, and the smokers and get-togethers since have been royal good times among old friends. All told, the crowd from B.U. made the other colleges sit up and take notice! 239
