pie. for it lies in his gentle and un-
varying courtesy. his deep scholar
ship, his ready willingness to help
the cadet who is trying, perhaps
against adverse conditions; his uni
form chivalry towards the little fell
lows and the manly and straightfor-
ward treatment Of the upper class
men. II is seldom that you can ind
these attributes combined in one man
and when you do, you will invariably

Major Martini has been with the
Military Institute from the beginning

try. Major Martini was born in Flor

cognition of his rare proficiency in
the languages. served his Govern
ment with distinction in official a
cities at several European capitals.
"In 1891 he was granted a years
leave of absence, and came to the
United States to look after the in
vestments of his father in the Pecos
Valley. with the result thai he be
came pleased with the country, and,
on ccoun of business reasons, he
resigned his commission. taking up
his residence at Carlsbad. Upon the
organization of the Military Institute
Major Martini assumed the position
of Professor of Languages, which he
has held without a break ever since,
being, in addition TO Instructor, Sec
rotary of the Institution, and one of
the indispensibles to every admins
tration since the beginning.
Major Martini will this summer
