EXERCISES.


house. A large and %appreciative
audience was present.
The exercises were opened with an
eloquent, earnests and appropriate
prayer by DR., c. E. Pattillo. This
was followed by a mandolin trio by
Capt. Day, Cadet Bergman and Capt
Peyton.
Mai. Hickman then introduced the
speaker, Maj. D. H. Boughton of the
18th Cavalry. Maj, Boughton is a
graduate of West Point, of the
officers school at FIT. Leavenworth
and of the law department of Wash
ington University. He has deem an
instructor at West Point and at the
Leavenworth school. He is one of
the best known educators in the army
as well as a distinguished officer.
He has been associated with Gen.
Bell and Nai. Hickman made the
prophecy that he would soon be wear
ing the generals star himself.
The address was short and directly
to the point. No definite subject
was announced, but in general the adj
dress was a eulogy of the military.
The speaker showed that the military
being subordinate to the highest civil
authority could be made a great
power for good or for evil. In the
days of absolute monarchy, corrupt
rulers would often use their armies
for the CARVING out of all kinds of
~nefarious schemes, and it is a surviv-
al of the ideas the people formed then
that gives some the desire Of univer-
sal disarmament.
"When lei cease to have wants,
when countries cease to have jealous
les, when lawlessness ceases to exist
said Maj. Boughton, then it will be
time to talk of universal disarmament
at was a great conception that
I gave us the picture of Justice blind
folded, with the balance scales up
) raised, signifying equal rights to all
special privileges to none" but il
the right hand is the sword
SO the law and the army
are dependent upon o~neanother
: Without power law is helpless. With
u out law, military power would near
~unbourded license"
Maj. Boughton spoke very highly o
Wentworth and congratulated tn,
members of the graduation clas
upon their privilege of attending sucl
u a school.
% After the address, Miss Pauline Sci
lers sang ga Song of Waiting" b,
Ellen Wright.
