Praise to Corps
The Corps received praise from
Gen. L. L. Lemnitzer, present vice
chief of staff, U. S. Army, who
will assume duties as chief of staff,
Aug. 1.
Lemnitzer was a guest at Spring
Military Day activities March 14.
“I was particularly impressed
by the Corps of Cadets at Texas
A&M. Their military review was
as fine as you could see anywhere
and clearly indicates the superior
leadership being furnished b y
yourself and members of your
staff,” Gen. Lemnitzer said in a
letter to A&M Vice President Earl
Rudder.
Gen. Lemnitzer wrote, “I had
been aware of the fact that more
Aggies served during World War
II than from any other college as
well as the high caliber of officers
produced by Texas A&M through
my association with many of them
through the yeax - s.”
Lt. Col. Walter A. Pennine, chief
of the information office, U. S.
Army Reserve and ROTC Affairs,
wi-ote Don Cloud, Coi’ps command
er, “You young men are certainly
doing a brilliant job in keeping
alive a true spirit of duty and obli
gation to country. Thei’e are alto
gether too many quarters in our
country where this motivation has
been cruelly snuffed out or is fad
ing away.”
