YOUNG POLLARD ENTERS

Last Wednesday was the day of

boy, Leslie X. Pollard, in the Amer

Maryland. The young midshipman
writes that he found the great insti-
tuition all that he had pictured it and
then some. What was perhaps the
most impressive feature was the rig
orous entrance examinations. in
which there were with Pollard only
about three hundred found to pass
all the PHYSICAL, mental and charac-
ter tests out of nearly five times that
number presenting themselves. 1t is
gratifying indeed that this Rocky
mountain boy should be classed
among those who are found to be in
every way sound Americans, having
in him the right sort of material for
making an officer for the greatest
ships afloat.
