SIX MORE CADETS
OF old ST. JOHNS
GET COMMISSIONS

Notwithstanding the recent tendency
to cut down the manpower OF all
branches of the service to a minimum,
and to carry out with the reduction of
the forces related reduction in the
officership of the same, there has been
little difficulty experienced by any of
the graduates of st. Johns College TO
obtain commissions on the recommen-
dation of their commandant. Six of
the ST. Johnnies who have recently
been commissioned in the Marine
Corps. the branch of the service which
most of the cadets seem to favor, are:
John ID. Christian. Dudley w. Davis
Franklin C. Hall, John r. Street,,
Beverly S. Roberts and Robert S. A.
GLADDEN.. All but GLADDEN. are mem
bers of the class of 1921. He grad
uated from ST. Johns in 1919.
Sixty-three st. Johns men are now
officers in the regular army and %
are commissioned in the Marine Corps.
1t has been 36 years since the first
commandant, an officer of the regu-
lar army was stationed at st. Johns
as military instructor. He was Lieut..
Charles W. Foster. Lieut.. Foster or
ganized the students into two COM
panies of cadets, and they were drilled
in both the infantry and artillery tac-
tics The record of st. Johns in both
the Spanish war and the
World War has established the value
of the institution to the government.
More than 400 graduates held commits
sions in the various branches of the
service three years ago.
