ffmll C T SYLLABUS 1925 H MTE ' V ' - . . - . . A weekly li. 0. T. C. dance, which is held each Wednesday evening, proves very popular throughout the encampmcnt. The Government furnishes a liberal supply of trucks and gasoline for week-end trips to all places of general or historic interest within reasonable travelling distance. Upon the completion of this six weeks' course the student leaves the camp with a feeling that he has improved his general health, received a great deal of' practical military instruction, enjoyed six weeks' recreation and is better prepared to serve his country in case of' national emergency. The Military Department has always been a firm believer in and. a strong supporter of athletics and all student activities. During the past football and hockey seasons the band, clad in white 'trousers and red. sweaters, added spirit to the occasion, whenever the necessary funds were available. The trip to New York in November will be remembered as a most enjoyable occasion-so much so that Isador Seigel has planned. already to engineer a trip to West Point next October on the Fall River Line and a specially chartered steamer from New York. This year's rifle 'team has been faithfully measuring up to the University's expectations. So far, it has won a good share of' its matches. As a departure from the customary telegraphic shooting of' former years, it made the trip to New York in January and participated with ten of' the leading eastern universities in the first shoulder to shoulder small bore intercollegiate rifle matches ever staged in this country. We hope that the spirit and hard work which the team has so consistently shown, may be rewarded with success 'through the remainder of' the matches this season. The pistol team has already begun practice in preparation for their spring schedule. With a larger field to choose from than we have heretofore had, pros- pects seem very encouraging. May success also be theirs 'throughout the season. A word might well be said of' the Saber Club and its activities. Composed as it is of the officers in the ll. O. T. C. unit, it has mapped. out for itself' a very definite mission of' which B. U. shall hear more during the spring and summer months. lts semi-monthly programs promise to be most interesting, with one or 'two open meetings for sophomores and. freshmen. As in the past, the H. O. T. C. Unit at .Boston University shall endeavor to furnish to the faculty and the student body full measure of' Loyalty, Cooperation and Service in every respect. T 254

Opportunity is also given to qualify on the pistol range. lclfe learns how to operate the automatic rifle, one pounder, Stokes lVI'ortar and machine gun. 1'I.e witnesses demonstrations by Regular Army troops. Close and extended order and ceremonies form a part of the student's daily training. Finally, near the end of the camp, the student participates in maneuvers. involving advance, rear and flank guards, crossing rivers on pontoon bridges, cooking his own food and sleeping in his own 'shelter tent. All work and no play would soon tend to make .lack a dull boy. Consequently. a certain period of each day is devoted exclusively to athletic sports and recreation. .ln the afternoons, games of all kinds are in full swing. The swimming is fine at Hell Pond. ln the evening, there are moving pictures, radio concerts, pool. cards, a piano and other amusements. Even the hazing of Bacicot and the fleeting visions of Rolled Oatsu call back many amusing recollections. 253

Buster turned sheikl She hurled aside a few Morris chairs and tripped. over to the bookstore 'to remonstrate with Love's Awakener. A group of co-cds and Grace Sullivan crowded around the counter-met her gloomy gaze. Then it was true!
