2 THE BAT TALION COL. C. H. MULLER CAMP COM MANDER FT. OGLETHORPE Wi'l Command the R. O. T. C. Cav alry Camp ^Vhich Begins June 17 and Ends July 28 Colonel C. H. Muller, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, in a tentative order from the War De partment has been detailed as Camp Commander of the Reserve Officer i’ Training Corps Cavalry Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Chickamauga Park Georgia. The A.and M. R. O. T. C. Cav alry unit will get their summer camp training there. Thirty-four out of the sixty-two members of the troop have already obtained authority from the War Department to attend the Camp this summer, and others intend to go. The Camp will beg'n on June 17 and continue until July 28. This assignment is pleasing to both Colonel Muller and the A. and M. i cadets who will attend the Camp. Colonel Muller was stationed at Fort Oglethorpe for two years from 1911 to 1916 as First Lieutenant with the 11th Cavalry. He declares it is one of the most beautiful places in the world and a most ideal place for a summer camp. The cadets will ben efit largely by having as their camp commander during the summer their professor of military science and tactics who has been intimately acquainted with them throughout the school year. Colonel Dougherty will be in charge of the Military Department of the College through the summer in the absence of Colonel Muller. At Fort Oglethorpe this summer -the-A _ . 'and M.-Cadets will for the first time in the history of this Col lege be placed in competition with Virginia Military Institute, one of the oldest and best military schools in the United States. The school turned out a battalion of cadets who fought throughout the Civil War. The cavalry troops that will be in training there are from The Massa chusetts Agricultural College Amhurst, Mass.; Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va.; University of Georgia, Athens, Ga.; University of Illinois, Urbana, 111.; Michigan Agricultural College, East Lansing, Michigan; Agricultural and Mechan ical College of Texas, College Sta tion, Texas; University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona; Oregon Agricul tural College, Corvallis, Oregon. It will be seen from this list that the cadets going from this College will be associated with cadets from the oldest and best military colleges representing all sections of the United States. Number Going From Here A total of two hundred and ninety- eight cadets from the four branches of the A. and M. Military Detach ment, have filed applications to at tend R. O. T. C. summer camps. The number is divided as follows: Cav alry, 34; infantry, 112; signal corps, 87; field artillery, 65. The infantry will go to Camp Benning, Georgia, which is eight miles southeast of Columbus, the cavalry will go to Fort Oglethorpe, Chickamauga Park, Georgia, the artillery camp will be held at Camp Knox, Kentucky, about twenty miles from Louisville, and the signal corps camp will be held at Camp Alfred Vail, New Jersey, which is about four miles northwest of Long Beach. It is understood that many other cadets intend to make application for admittance at these camps who have not as yet handed in their names. Colonel Muller issues the warning to these that they should make application at once, since the longer they wait the less chance they will have of getting authority to at tend. The camps are being filled as rapidly as the government can fill them, and it must be remembered that the total number that can at tend all four camps is only ten thous and from all the colleges of the United States.
