plays and events on Campus Day will
be those prepared by the military and
gymnasium departments, the two
heads of which, Lieutenant Herbert
Fooks and Mr.. Van der Veer, have uni
ted to form and carry out plans which
will be by far the most elaborate and
amusing ever attempted by those two
departments. Mr.. Van der Veer Is IN
full charge of the tennis tournament
which will be carried on in the morn
ing and is now making arrangements
for entries and other details. In the
afternoon Mr.. Van der Veer, together
with Mr.. Fooks, will have charge of a
complete and most entertaining pro-
gram of burlesque athletic and field
to cadets only and others of which
will be open to the entire university.
AS planned at present, these comical
sports begin Immediately after the
military parade and review. The win
ners in the various events will be
given blue and red ribbons to indicate
first and second prizes; and for the
| highest individual point winner in the
successful company, Mr.. Fooks has
provided beautiful cup, his personal
gift. All of the entries for the field
sports are not yet in, but among the
cadets alone including the band, more
than 100 men are eligible, and Mr.
Fooks hopes that large number of
them will compete. Those who wish
to enter their names should give them
to Captain Stone, Captain Adams, or
Captain Gregory. The detailed pro-
gram of field sports is given below.
Cadets in Dress Parade.
Immediately preceding these stunts
which will certainly attract a large
crowd of interested spectators, the
military department will pass in for
NAL review parade before the presi- |
dent of the university and Lieut.. |
Fooks. After reviewing the parade |
the president will make the presenta-
tion Of commissions to the officers.
This is always most interesting
event, and the commandant postponed
it until this date in order that it
might become part of the regular
Campus Day celebration. Mr.. Fooks
felt that the military department of
which he is the head should enter
heartily into the suggestions for Cam
ward making the celebration note
worthy. The parade of the boys in
blue is always great spectacular
and as this has never before
been a part Of the annual outdoor
festivities, many persons will look
Onward to it with special interest
Che cadets who take part in the par
lde will perform their athletic feats
n the field sports in their blue uni
orms, circumstance which will in-1
rease somewhat the difficulty Of the
arious performances and which will
hereby add greater credit to the win t
ers. f
