Captain (Jverfon was an accomjilished o entleman and a thoroxigh soldier. He practically reorCTanizeil the military discipline at the College, and his jjohcy, though strict, was soon recognized by the cadets as lair, and the effects of his influence are even yet apparent in the cadet battalion. He directed the military encampments held by our battalion, in i8g6 and 1S97, both of which he conducted with signal success and with marked bcnclit to the discipline of the cadet corps. No cadet came within the sphere of Capt. Overton ' s influence without becoming imbued with that sense of honor and bravery which goes to make a good soldier and a capable officer; when war was declared with Spain, a large number of our cadets enlisted, and were soon promoted for their excellent military training. Capt. Overton scorned a lie and all subterfuge, and his fearless bravery, which oftentimes approached reck- less daring, was an inspiration to those who were with him or under his command. As this hero lies dead, shrouded in his country ' s flag, he is mourned by none more sincerely than his former oolleagues and students of the Agricultural College of Maryland. Henry T. Harrison, Sec ' t. of Faculty.
