GGVERNMENT INSPECTIDN APRIL 12-131954 On April 12 the inspecting team from the Department of the Army arrived at the Academy for the annual two- day Government Inspection of NYMA, upon which is based its rating in the ROTC program as an Honor School for Military Institutes. For weeks we had been scrubbing, drilling, polishing, and preparing! Heading the team was Col. Charles H. Judson, Signal Corps, USA, from the N.Y. Military Dist., NYC. He served in both World Wars and the Korean Conflict. He was assisted by Maj. Stanley F. Karas, U.S. Inf., who was with the First Division in World War II and with the 8th Army in Korea. The inspecting officers arrived Monday morning and commenced the tour by a conference with Col. Dingley, and Maj. Angello. A bar- Corps rifle inspection fol- inspectors visited different day ended with a parade. with an inspection of the school plant and facilities. Bard Hall put on its famous guard mount and a full dress review for the visiting Maj. Townsend, Maj. Locke, racks inspection and then a lowed. In the afternoon the military classes and the first The second day started officers completed one of the most successful Government Inspections in the history of NYMA. Col.
