Later. p 1' when that formerly benevolent mother-country be- came an oppressive tyranny, these bold lovers of liberty banded together, and conceived a new nation. Years passed, and the now proud government was threat- ened With dissolution, brother battled with brother, the one in grey, the other in blue, but the spirit of patriotism was strong, and the Union triumphed. Then came years ot' peace, and a man in Indiana dreamed a great dream of a great -school where students would become imbued the spirit of service, love of country, and loyalty. A native of Ohio, in his youth poor and uneducated, but amassing in later life a great fortune, he longed to serve the youth of America. He did more than dream, he acted, and on Page Twenty-Sim

Field Artillery, came Major Danford, VVorld War hero, while the Troop was inspected by Colonel Brown. Both of these officers were favorably impressed, not alone with their particular unit, but with the school as a whole. The Inspector General, whose trip followed Major Danford's, and in whose honor a special review was held, had only the warmest praise for the materiel of the Academy and the work of the corps. As Spring returned and' smiled upon the campus with warm, kind eyes, and as the foliage became verdant and the flowers bloomed, the great outdoors called the cadets to the athletic fields. Baseball, tennis, golf, crew, and track, all had their adherents who fairly flooded the surrounding country. VVith sunny skies and fragrant air. Nature aroused in everyone the joy of living. MO1'GOW'91', Easter was approaching. It was well worth waiting for! Wlelcome guests, the parents, and of course the only girl, perfect' parades, delightful weather, and a wonderful ball, combined to rival one another in making the ,event a success. It was with a sigh of re- gret that we saw the holidays draw to a close. Among the guests of the Aca- demy was the Hon. Ed Jackson, Governor of Indiana. , On May 10th the government representatives came to make their annual in- spection. There was much ardent preparation and the result was most grati- fying. Although the decision of the inspectors has not been made known, we are confident that we have maintained Culver at her place at the head of the military schools of the nation. On the twenty-third of the same month, the Indiana Literary Society. held its first annual convention at the school. There are some very eminent men and women of letters in this society, and a very pleasing program was arranged for them by Lieutenant Mather. At this time the literary dedication of the Memorial Building took place. ' Now all eyes are turned toward that red letter day of Commencement, June 10. VVe may look back upon' this year as one of our happiest and one which will live long in our memories. .2 is effx if M' The Tl1.f1.n.ksgiving Review Page Cl'wem y-five
