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.
