the College. The two main objects of the visitors were to be

the day was very stormy, the visitors spent the forenoon in
visiting the various departments, paying special attention to
the practical work going on in the shops and laboratories.
The program for the afternoon consisted of an exhibition

captain of the best drilled company, and of an assemblage in

the platoons of two companies as companies. Afterwards Mr.
