THE adjutant- Generals report (Gen.
Theo. S. Peck, of this State has good
word for the Norwich University cadets,
that will be appreciated by the graduates
hereabouts and their friends: 1.-THE
State is to be congratulated upon having
Norwich University with course of
study preparing young men for the civil
professions and at the same time rigid
course of military drill and discipline
patterned after that at West Point.
These cadets executed drills and ma
n@uyres before me with degree of pro-
ficiency which could be nowhere
equalled in the State; in fact, have not
seen infantry battalion drill, artillery
standing gun drill, including mounting
and dismounting the pieces, or extended
order drill, better executed at any place
