the work as outlined by the Government by close personal attention and observa- tion of the best methods for obtaining maximum advancement; and by his skillful use of the excellent laboratories at the college, made the course much more inter- esting and instructive. In the early summer the War Department Committee on Education decided to establish the Student ' s Army Training Corps with three summer camps to provide the immediate training of prospective student intsructors, who were to be chosen from the colleges and universities of the country. Lieutenant W. . Hite and President Duniway chose the following men to be sent to the Presidio, of California, from Colorado College: Franklin R. Little, A. G. Ainsworth, Chester Hart, W. A. Case, Ben Sweet, R. J. Sevitz, Harold Chase, A. Barney, and Edward Taylor of the Faculty. About two weeks later, the C. C. quota was increased and William Copeland, John Canon, Donald McMillan and Thaddeus Holt were recommended to Washington and sent to San Francisco. The keynote of the work at San Francisco was discipline. Instructions in modern methods of European warfare occupied the second month of the camp. The staff of officers included Frenchmen and Englishmen and many Americans who had returned from the front in France. Early in September, the War Department decided to commission those men who were qualified, in the S. A. T. C. Traing Corps. Seven Colorado College men won their bars. William Copeland and Albert Ainsworth were commissioned in field artillery and transferred to Camp Taylor. The others made infantry commissions, and reported to various colleges as instructors in the S. A. T. C. units. Hart was sent to Denver University; McMillian to Montana Aggies, Cannon to Syracuse, X. Y., Taylor to Colorado College. Little, Holt, Sweet, Sevitz, Chase and Case returned to Colorado College and made their chevrons there. STACK! ARMS! 28
