plimentary Of the battalion OF cadets,
their proficiency in military science,
and of the general conditions exist
ing at the University. After giving
the details of the inspection, Capt
Laubauch made the following general
remarks:
"There can be but little doubt that
the military department is more valu-
BILE at this institution today than
ever before and that the corps is
being better trained. Lieut.. Wiley
has worked earnestly and tirelessly
and he deserves much credit for liav-
ing accomplished great deal and
in having better crops and better
spirit than any former inspection has
developed.
"The exercises opened with the
presentation of the state flag to the
corps. This flag was purchased by
the women students. The presenta-
ton address of President John &
Futrall and the reply of Lieutenant
|. Wiley thereto are attached.
1.-THE condition of uniforms, arms
and equipment was generally excel
lent, there being very little to criti-
ciZe.
"The work accomplished during
the past year is regarded as al ad-
vance over that of previous years.
much is hoped from the new presi-
dent-President Futrall-in assisting
the military department to become an
important part of this institution i.
the building of character and in dis
seminating through the student body
the teachings of this department
which go far in elevating the stand
ards of citizenship.
'There have been some marked i'm
provements during the past year, not
ably in the armory, which is now eX-
cellent. and in the mess hall and
