Norwich university is probably the
| first institution in the United States
| to offer its facilities TO the govern
ment for the training Of officers In
event of war after the break with
Germany came. Immediately follow
ing the cancelling of diplomatic rela
tons the president of the university
wired the adjutant general. offering
every facility of the institution to the
government in event OF war. This
wire was later followed by letter
and due acknowledgment has been
received by the university authorities.
There has probably been less out
ward demonstration OF activity in pre-
paratlon for war at Norwich uniyer-
sity than in any other educational in
stitution for the simple reason that all
the cadets lead a military life and are
constantly under training. Their men

that of a soldier who simply awaits
orders without any manifestation of
concern. Norwich university is a
cavalry unit of the United States re-
serve officers training corps and will
no doubt be called upon to supply Of
ficers for cavalry regiments. The
cadets are not legally bound for SER
vice, but It is known that practically
every man in the institution OF legal
age and physical qualifications is
ready to respond.
Norwich university Is making
canvass Of its alumni and past cadets
to determine the availability for SER
vice in event of war. A committee
Of the faculty is tabulating the re

Everybody conversant with mill

the Norwich man when there is 4 call
to arms is dominated by that of ser
vice and no other institution in the
United States has ever turned out
more officers in proportion to its num-
bers, excepting West Point. The
present international crisis, however,
has developed a new phase of military
interest at Norwich university, and
