SUISSCRIPTION.

date of subscription.
THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 1911
Alumni One of the most gratify-
Interest ing points that we note in
connection with the early
subscriptions of the year is the large
number of alumni members. In
taking an active interest in his col
lege paper, the alumnus is doing
his part in trying to keep in touch
with - undergraduate affairs, and
this continued interest means a
stronger and more united college .
For, after all, the alumni are of
supreme importance in spread-
ing the fame of the institu-
tion and proving Ithe practical re
sults of the training they have
received. It is our intention to print
as.often as available, the news of
alumni meetings and banquets, and
thus 'try to bring into closer contact
the "old grads"' and the "under,
grads", both of whom are united in
their efforts for the making of a
broader, greater, college.
In the statistics of fresh-
rection man enrollment printed
in the first issue, the
number of new men in the Engi-
neering school was incorrectly nam
ed 'as 104. The statement should
have been 204,and we hope that the
misstatement has been productive
of no inconvenience to the Engi;
nearing school, or to other depart
ments of the col'ege.
Military Inspector's Report
_The following extracts are taken
froin the report of Captain G. H.
Jamerson, U. S. A., of the General
Stiff, who inspected the college
Rqgiment in May last :
"I was courteously received by
the President, Dr. Edwin E. Sparks,
and afforded every facility for mak
ing the inspection.
"Military inspection is compul
skry for Sophomores and Fresh
men, but students taking special
courses are not required to take
theoretical work in the military de
partment.
"876 are enrolled in the military
department, but 86 of these are ex
cused on account of athletics, etc.,
leaving 790 for regular instruction.
All over 15 years of age. 790 were
present at inspection, but a few, on
account of temporary physical dis
abili:y, were not under arms. Five
hours per week are devoted to prac
tical instruction during the fall and
spring terms. No practical instruc
tion is attempted during the winter
term. One hour per week is de
voted to theoretical instruction dur
ing the first semester of the Fresh
man year. The ca iet corps is or
ganized into a regiment of 3 battat
ions of 4 companies each, and a
band. Cadets who, on account of
injury or temporary illness, ate un
able to perform duty with their
organization are transferred, for the
time being, to a casual company,
whose only pemanent member is a
first sergeant, and those who are
able are required to practice signal
ing with the flag.
"The military exercises included
the following : Regimental review
and inspection, good; regimental
drill, fair; battalion drill, close and
extended order, fair; company drill,
close and extended order, good; ad
vance guard and outpost by com
pany, good; Butts' Manual, one
company, good; regimental parade
and escort of the color, good. A
signal detachment sent and received
a message.
"The rifles and equipment are in
very good condition. The nomen
clature of the rifle is not well un
derstood by the cadets.
"The uniforms fit only fairly well.
Blue blouses and white trousers
were worn at review and inspection
and many trousers were soiled.
There were also a great many badly
soiled and torn gloves. A few cadets
wore white kid gloves. A few solied
collars were noticed and many ca
dets were unshaved. Shoes, as a
rule, were not well polished. The
set-up of cadets is only fair, stcp
and alignments, good; and, with few
exceptions, cadets were attentive
and steady in ranks. Interest and
spirit, very good. Every man who
is required to attend drill and in
struction was present at inspection.
All have instruction in gallery prac
tice, but there has been no target
practice. There is no range.
"The drill ground is entirely too
small and only about ore company
can work in the drill hall at a time.
"Students were ve,y noisy and
boisterous on the campus during the
night spent there by the inspector.
Their conduct savored mote of the
undisciplined mob of boy.s._than
of a military organization of men.
The average age of the graduate is
over 24 years.
Captain Fry is well fitted f:.r, and
interested in, his work. He is zeal
ous and conscientious and has the
respect and confidence of the facul
ty and students. But it is utterly
impossible for one man, with practi
cally no competent assistant, to ob
tain the best, or ever fairly satisfac
tory results with so large a body of
men in the time allowed his depart
ment. He should have the assistance
of another officer and a competent
retired non-commissioned officer."

The School of Mines spent the sum
mer in the following ways:
