CoLoRS PRESENTED.
At dress parade yesterday evening the
colors were presented to the first division.
which has been declared to have exhib-
tied the greatest general excellence during
the year. The disposal OF this honor car
ries with il the right to carry the colors
during next year, and is the highest GEN
eral honor obtainable during the whole
academic course.
The right to receive and carry the
colors was formerly awarded to the di-
vision which was successful in a competi-
tive infantry drill held during June week
and called the flag drill. and which,
naturally, was one OF the most interesting
events OF the period. Il was thought,
however, that this was awarding the
honor for excellence along only one
branch and allowing no weight to prof.
cheney in equally important matters. For
that reason system has been devised,
giving due weight to other branches OF
work In the course, and, according 10
that system, the first division has been
declared to be the winner.
The divisions are made up of an equal
representation from each of the classes.
Inc first division was commanded by
Midshlpman +. H. Poteet, OF Missouri,
until the FIRST class graduated in Febru-
airy, and since then mas been commanded
oy Midshipman Frederick G.. Tupper. of
Georgia. The nearest competitor of the
winning division was the fourth. The
hTst division was fortunate in having a
large number who won places on the
baseball and football teams, and who
wen points in the field and track meet,
ms tact gave them the winning lead.
The hrst division secured 400 points. the
fourth 335, the second I86, the third 40.
The ba talon was drawn up in front of
the Board of Visitors, and Midshipman
r. u. Tupper, captain of the winning
division, the first, received the colors.
which were presented by Miss Mary
Nash, OF Portsmouth, Va. The midship-
men then gave three cheers for the win
ming division, the battalion and for the
lady making the presentation. The dress
parade was Witnessed by a very large
gathering.
