It is not long after a boy enters the Agricultural and Mechanical College before he makes the ac quaintance of the Commandant. A student soon finds out that he has necessarily to deal more with the professor in uniform than any other member of the faculty. Every student has to go to Captain Sar-, gent with his furloughs for appro-; val, and every explanation has to pass through the drill master’s hands. And woe be unto the young man wdio has donned the gray if his permit or explanation is not folded just right, and all words correctly spelled, and each sentence grammatically correct and punctuated properly. Below is a sample of a few things which pass through the hands of our military instructor: An explanation. Report, Shang hai, dirty room at O. D. I. Sir: I respectfully state that one of my room-mates did not get up until after breakfast, and I had cleaned up before he had gotten up, and when he got up he dirtied the room up and then before I could clean up again the officer of the day rounded me up, and so I have written this explanation to try to straighten up and cleaC-tip this matter with you. ^— Yours respectfully, G.
