AQ Commanding Infantry The work of the Military Department in the past has been magnifi- cently justilied by the alumni who have entered the service by the hun- dreds ancl who in one way or another have already won distinction for themselves and for their school. Again it has been demonstrated that it is the long, grinding years of training and discipline rather than the short mechanical drill of the training camp which makes real soldiers. Recognizing this fact, the department has made few changes in its methods of work on account of the war, but is going ahead giving its cadets the same thorough course of training which has made the school famous.

A. C. VALMIER, M.Accts. Professor of the Commercial Branches All the graduates of this department expect to be generals in the Quartermaster Corps as soon as they have had a chance to show the government the remarkable-results of the instruction given them by Mr. llalmer. On the other hand, Mr. Palmer is of the opinion that if any one of them gets a job as high private he will be luckyg for, he says, they all wander in their minds as well as in their bodies, and couldn't sell ice cream on a hot day in Havana. 'Perhaps he is prejudiced, and fails to recognize the many future merchant princes now passing as cadets in his classes.
