Again Edwin was successful, but at last, at the battle of Commencement, his •Senior regiment was practically annihilated. Likewise the next campaign was terminated by another battle on the Plains of Commencement in which, among his other losses, Edwin’s Senior regiment was cut to pieces. The Junior regiment, thanks to the leadership of Colonel Campbell in 1912 and Colonel Watts in 1913. had been quite successful, and now became the Senior regiment. 'l'he following campaign was somewhat delayed by failure to complete all necessary preparations in the time planned, but finally it was entered upon. The Seniors, under Colonel Martin, were directed to subdue the districts of Astronomy. Ethics, Biology, Geology, Philosophy and Political Science. This was the most diflicult task of all. but the outcome was a fortunate one. Knowledge was soon conquered and wished terms of peace. Edwin returned with great joy and was received with loud acclaim bv the populace. A magnificent celebration was arranged in the capital. Edwin paraded the streets in academic processions, which were comprised of all his armies, the Senior regiment, the heroes of the occasion, being clad in festal robes. Then, as a culmination of three days of festivity, Edwin did call an assembly of all his subjects and did deliver a mighty address to those present. Having finished sounding the praises of the now famous Seniors, he proceeded to decorate with gold medals many of that regiment who had distinguished themselves on the field of battle. Then, after proclaiming the successful subjugation of Knowledge, he did present his Seniors, reduced through the long struggle to half their original number, with certificates of honorable dismissal. Thus the ceremonies were ended and on the following day the Senior regiment left Furman and returned once more to the pursuits of peace.
