Cadet Harlan goes first to the sanitary lavatory on h ' is floor. A good washup is part of the routine, for a cadet is expected to keep him self dean at all times.

HERE ii Harlan, a typical Wentworth cadot— a fine young Amer- ican — manly, scholarly and upright. His respect for duty and responsibility has won for him the rank of sergeant. He may have come from a large city or a very small town — that males no difference to the democratic spirit that prevails at Wentworth. He may be from a wealthy family or a family in meager circumstances — most of his dessmates would never know, nor even be curious, unless he chose to tell them. But ho typifies all the fine qualities of a deserving and ambitious youth as he goes through the tried and age-proved Went- worth process of becoming a real man, a real asset to himseif. his family and friends, and society as a whole. Harlan, like all the others, participates in many activities besides those sho wn. But let ' s follow him through a typical day. • • • H rUn fahl.

Strict inspection of Quarters is a daily routine Formal inspec tlon of Harlan ' s person, room ond equipment occurs on Sunday morning. At this time unusual care must be taken in cleaning the room. Our Mend sees that hiddon comers are carefully du:fed chairs polished, and everything put in order. Then he takes care of his person. There ' s bross to shine, leather to polish, hair to brush, and whiskers to be removed. A certain time is allotted far this orep-aration and all work must be done within that time. This young fellow knows that any deficiency in this work receives what is known in Academy language as a skin — which counts against one ' s company in color competition. ♦Harlan is ready for th» inspector — brass gWarmnq, shoes shinsd — room as daan as M provarbial hound ' s
