S After a happy first-class camp, few cadets are in training for even the lightest sort of academic work, but ye gods! What a jolt they received in the Engineering sec- tion rooms on September lst when informed that cadets having' an average of 2.5 would not be required to take a written examination, also that t.he first five men in the first section might either by the grace of the Lord or the oversight of. their instructor, attain that -average. Others were not 'given a hint as to their probable fate, but the goats were the lads that were really inspired with .a desire to bone-especially when the course began with uyou men will probably fyes, extremely probablyj average 1.7 on the first part of this course, some among you may average 198999999999 if you bone on VVednesday and Saturday afternoons and are sub-division inspectors also. From a perfect maze of I-beams, built-up lattice columns, girders and king-post trusses, we were rudely int1'oduced one Saturday to a four hours' Siesta with all the speck that a systematic bonoid considered as likely to be omitted, but-stung again, and the marks counted double! Still, time passed on and the Christmas holidays found nearly all of us assem- bled for that much dreaded exam. In the second part of the course we have learned that Napoleon was a pretty good general even though he made mistakes that would be unforgivable if committed by modern captainsg, and that private Blank, 58th New York Volunteers, was the leader of Corporal Daslfs squadat 8 A. lVI. on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Cor- poral Dash having been killed the day before. All of these details are essential to a soldieris education, and woe to the cadet who does not possess the knowl- edge of the number of French ucitn officers who fess out on their exams. for promotion each year. However, it is to this Department that we are indebted for a great part of the education that shows us we are primarily intended to be soldiers, and in spite of the tiresome Search for the elusive 2.5, no one can consider that a single' moment of the time devoted to this work is time that could have-been spent in a more profitable or instructive manner. 27
