Black Glengarries
Adopted by Rangers
The University ROTC Rangers have adopted the practice
of wearing a Glengarry as the official bat of their uniform.
The Ranger Glengarry is modeled after a hat worn by a
group of British regulars organized by Robert Rodgers in 1756.
This British unit, located at Crown Point, N.Y., was trained
for Indian fighting.
At the present time the ROTC
program is not set up to provide
supplies to a field type of unit
such as the Rangers, the group
has had trouble getting the neces
sary ' uniforms and equipment to
carry out their, field operations,
Capt William J. Thompson, ad
viser, said recently.
FOR THIS 1 REA SO FT. (the hats
are'.teeing purchased by the ca
dets individually, since the Rang--!
ers feel that the -wearing of, the
Glengarry will give- them recog-1
nition on campus, Thompson said.
Close observation of the Glen
garry will reveal the rank of the!
Ranger who wears it, Thompson
said. Officers were the black
Glengarry with the yellow, pom
pon; non-commissioned officers, a
green" pompon; and privates, no
pompon. . • • j

Company A, had its origin at the

a unit on the University Park
Campus, Thompson said.
! Thompson and 63 members of
Army ROTC became Company A
in September, 1961, There are 55
Cadets in the Ranger unit at. the
present time,, 12 are Air Science
Cadets and. 44 are Military Science
,Cadets.
j The purpose of the Ranger pro
gram its to go beyond the basic

■cadet a chance to apply theory

! SINCE SEPTEMBER. Rangers
lhave had field experience in
!hand-to-hand combat, demolition,
land navigation, basic survival
techniques, basic first aid and

These six areas are just a few of
the military tactics studied* and
practiced by the Rangers, Thomp
