In June. 1918. we have come to a full realization of its presence among; us. Washing- ton militant has been as clearly ex- pressed ill the activities of those re- maining- on the campus as in the service of those now wearing khaki or liluc. The development of the rauipus and of courses of study dur- ing the past year have been notably directed toward war ends. The most significant topographical change has been the evolution of the golf course inix) a ship with 1.500 men before the mast. White tents and brown mess houses cover the deck, where last year was greensward: and the clear notes of the bugle float over the campus at sunrise and sunset. Blue- clad sentries, pacing up and down the old board walk, bar the way to the crew house until A. S. U. W. passes are presented. Swinging lines of sailors inarch- ing to and from classes replace groups of idlers on Denny .steps. Booms in Denny attic and Commerce hall are devoted to the use of the I ' liited States Radio School, where sailors ai ' e trained for expert service . Here and there during class hours a sailor ' s uniform gives pedantic halls a military air. The government is extending the work to give practical experience by establishing a radio station on the campus. During the winter a United States Shipping Board Navigation School was established in Commei-ce hall under the direction of James E. Gould. mIio formerly directed a similar work in Taeoma. Courses leading to the I ' nited States Inspectors examinations for first, second and third mate, and master were given to prepare officers for the merchant marine. The cornerstone of a western Annapolis and West Point was laid March 19 when the faculty approved curricula of four years courses leading to tlie degree of bachelor of military science, naval science, and aeronautic science. Captain W. T. Patten was given charge of the military department, and a navy officer and military engineer are expected to be detailed to the campus to direct the other branches. Practical work in army caniiis and on training ships is outlined for the summer quarters. Frank E. McKoue was brought to the campus in October to fill the chair of aeronautics established by W. E. Boeing. Seattle airplane manufacturer. Visible evidence of the new study is the aerodynamics laboratory located east of Engineering hall. In the laboratory is one of the nine wind tunnels of the world, through which a current of air is forced at the rate of fortv miles an □ IBlfn
