Or other official eclat, such as at
tended like occasions i'll former
years. members of the official

the inspections of the institution
for the purpose of making the an
nual report to Congress upon its
needs. That much of the custO-
mary ceremonials now are lack

age here at a time when the ma
val institution is full swing, in
stead of during Commencement
lays or June Week"
