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.
