Lt. Col. J. E. Mitchell THE OFFICE OF THE COMMANDANT Maintaining the rules and regulations of the college among three thousand healthy young Americans, many of them away from home for the first time, is certainly no easy task. It is through the office of the Commandant of Cadets that the discipline of the college is administered. The Commandant, Col. John E. Mitchell, is certainly to be commended for the manner in which he has filled this difficult office. The Commandant can, by delegation of authority to responsible students in the Cadet Corps, develop leadership in those boys, and a respect for constituted author¬ ity in those under their authority. It is such training as this that develops the best Reserve Officers, which is the primary purpose of the Corps of Cadets.
