an assembly was called at which
the students were given instruc.

The Western or Third battalion
was formed on the campus fac

school cheered the companies,
their major and captains as they
marched down Thirty fifth street
on their way to the parade. After
dismissal a majority of the stu
dents watched the parade and the
excellent drill of Western battal-

This demonstration was followed
by a cadet issue OF the Western
