THE FRESHMAN YEAR a t a u 4 1 1 1 a u Two weeks prior to our return to college for this session we received the usual greeting from our Dean. With it he also stated that the college had been selected as a training unit by the government and that we must come prepared to stay. Naturally our enthusiasm was aroused for we were soon to be inducted into the army. At eight o'clock on the evening of September thir- tieth, we assembled in lecture room number one for the opening exercises. After some preliminary remarks by Dr. Pearson, Col. L0ckwood.was introduced and made the opening address giving us an idea of what our new duties would be. He also made some very profitable remarks bearing upon the conduct and deportment befit- ting a soldier. Lieutenants Hughes, Donegan and Berkman were introduced and each made some remarks referring to their particu- lar lines of work. These men were graduated from Plattsburg and held, the commissions of second lieutenant. Lieutenants Hughes and Donegan were to attend to the paper work and Lieuten- ant Berkman was to be in charge of the military tactics. The following day the entire student body assembled in room number one and at exactly twelve o'clock, October the First, Colonel John A. Lockwood administered the oathof allegiance . The significance of this oath made a deep impression upon each and every one of us. A busy two 'weeks followed during which time we were physically examined, signed induction papers, took out insurance and attended to the hundred and one details coincident with an en- listment. The First Regiment Armory at Broad and Callowhill Streets was procured for us as quarters but owing to the influen- za epidemic which was raging at that time we were not permitted to assemble and still maintained our private residences. How- ever, on November Sixth, dinner and supper were served there and on November Tenth we were assigned to bunks on the second and third floors. We went into permanent quarters the same day peace was declared. I Just at this time, Colonel Lockwood was relieved from active duty and needless to say, his departure was the cause of much regret on our part. He had become exceedingly popular with the men and as a slight token of our esteem we presented him with a humidor during the farewell exercises held in his honor. Captain R. B. Frazee succeeded to the command.
