any inattention or neglect may be
punished by the withdrawal of privi
leges; and in cases, students may be
relieved from attendance at the camp

Students must not anticipate harsh
discipline. They will find a firm dis

and sanitation in quarters and camp,
and punctuality and interest in atten
dance at all formations and duties.

done within its power to promote the
highest moral among the student
body.
9. Training. It will be the en

make this training efficient, practical,
and out-door, as it is fully realized
that the students who have spent the
year in classrooms desire above all
things, a relief from studies of this
nature.

will be permitted to withdraw from
camp by the Commanding Officer. The
Commanding Officer may require the

for the camp prescribed for their
branch of service, will sign on the
paper on or before February 25, when
the list will be returned to this office
by the organization commander.
12. The Professor of Military Sci
ence and Tactics in charge of each
unit will assemble the unit and ex
plain in greater detail all of the fore

the students may desire to ask. Stu
dents are cautioned to save a copy of
this order.
13. Any further information de
sired by students on the subject of
camps, will be gladly furnished by
this office. Above all things, it is
the desire of the War Department to
have all parents understand that the
students will be subjected to an en
vironment of the highest standard of
morality and can only be benefited by
attending camp.
