In tracing the history of shaving it should be sufficient to go back to the Greeks and Romans, upon whose civili- zaton our own is based. Boards were highly esteemed among the former up to the time of Alexander the Great, who
 was smooth-shaven. One reason for the abolition of the beard among soldiers was the fact that it afforded the enemy something to lay hold of. At an earlier period the wearing of certain types of helmet and gorget had protected the beard The Romans wore boards down to the time of the Gallic wars, while the Gauls, albeit barbarians. were smooth shaven save for the mustache. The an tiquty of barber shops and razors in Rome is variously given by historians. Some have claimed that the first barber shop, at least in that part of the world, was opened in Sicily in 300 B. c. while other authorities make this date far earlier or later. The Sicilian seems to have been the first barber.

Q. r. c. at theVuni- versity, has just received the French war cross awarded him for gallantry on the ourcq in July, 1918. During the counter offensive on the Ourcq Major Clement volunteered to carry an order to the units in the front lines and en- deavored to force his way through in spite of violent artillery barrage and machine gun fire. He carried out his mission, but was seriously wounded in the leg.
 Major Clement has been detailed at Alabama since the first of the year, and in connection with Lieut.. Lewis H. Mattair has made great success in the cadet corps. Recently a supply of new equipment has been issued, including model 1917 rifles, bayonets, haversack, cartridge belts and ammunition. The cadets have been given aiming and firing drill this week. Major Clement plans in the near future to carry the companies on a cross-country hike.
