NO. 132 RESERVE OFFIGERS END TRAINING HERE Regimental Colors Presented to Or- ganization; Course May be Made Annual or Semi-Annual. The close of a three day training schedule for officers of the 360th Infantry regiment was marked by presentation of regimental colors, lec- tures on artillery, cavalry and com- munications, by regular officers of the College and the taking of motion pictures for the War Department, just prior to the departure of the officers to their home stations Sunday at noon. A great cheer went up from the hundreds of cadets assembled on the Campus as the color guard of three cadets escorted Colonel Robert Van Horn, U. S. A. Chief of Staff, 90th Division, to the formation of 40 uni- formed officers, standing at rigid at- tentor, behind their regimental com- mander, Colonel Isaac S. Ashburn, on the steps of the Main Academic build- ing Sunday at noon. As Colonel Van Horn made the brief speech of presentation, the cadets presented their rifles and the officers’ corps snapped into the hand salute. Colonel C. C. Todd, commandant and his staff of army instructors also participated. Lectures by army officers were de- livered on the cavalry by Captain J. F. Davis, artillery, Major J. D. Cough- lan, and communications by Lieuten- art P. L. Neal. Several hundred feet of motion picture film was shot during Sunday of the various training activities, tak- ing in pistol, machine gun and saber instruction and practice. Anrouncement was made by the regimental commander, Colonel Ash- burn, that the tri-day training sched- ule would be made an annual event, and possibly semi-annual. Annual training camp will be held at Galves- ton from August 2 to 16, with cadets of the C. M. T. C. being trained by these officers, in lieu of an enlisted personnel in the 360th.
