ITH this issue of The Bat
talion anew department
is added. I say new, because it
has been over a year since the
Alumni editor has used the space
allotted to his department by the
management of this magazine.
Now, since a beginning has been
made, it is my intention to use
our space every time The Bat
talion is issued this session.
This month’s issue will reach
many if not all of the Alumni.
When it comes if you are not al
ready a subscriber, send in your
name, and during the year, if
anything of interest occurs con
cerning yourself or any other old
student of the College, write the
editor of this department about
it. He will appreciate it and so
will all the readers of The Bat
talion.

The following is clipped from
the Galveston Saturday Review of
recent date:
“I have received a letter from
Puerto Principe, Cuba, under
date of August 4, announcing the
marriage on the 2d at Puerto
Principe of Dr. Marion B. Mc
Millan, assistant surgeon U. S.
A., 8th cavalry, to Miss Concep
tion Ribas de Agramonte. Dr.
McMillan graduated from the
State Medical College in this city
last May, and during the three
winters he passed here attending
college he went out a great deal
socially. He came from a small
town near San Antonio, and his
family now live at Corpus Christi.
It was not generally known that
he was with the army, and his
succumbing to the fascinations of
a dark-eyed senorito is quite an
interesting bit of information.”
The young man referred to in
the above is none other than the
gay young quartermaster who was
reduced to ranks because he went
to Bryan to call on a dear friend
without first going through the
formality of getting a furlough.
McMillan graduated with honor
in 1895. Since his marriage he
has been promoted and is now
regimental surgeon in the regular
army with rank of major.

special course in St. Louis in

Sandy Ferguson.
