pearance. The college is helping to
buy these uniforms, and with them
the company can do much better
work than it has heretofore, The
first public occasion of the wearing of
the uniforms will be on Memoria

the direction Of Captain Miranda and
the other officers will go to Augusta
to march in a parade there on that
day
