PROF ESSORS To
TRAVEL, ST UDY
DURING SUMMER

Roswell, N. M, June 6.-The
regents Of the New Mexico Military
Institute have taken a forward
step and one which will no doubt
prove of the greatest benefit to the
academic work of the institute
Believing 1t to be of special bene-
fit to have professors travel and
study during vacation months at
the April meeting of the board the
superintendent was authorized to
grant a credit euuivalet to round
trip ticket limited on the east by
Chicago and the west by San Fran
cisco to any professor of the insti-
tute who upon returning next fall
would show attendance at a STAN
dard university during the sum-
mer months. The universities 10
be attended were not specified,
leaving the field open to the choice
of the individual professor.
AS a result of this generosity on
the part of the board the faculty
of the institute are this summer
widely scattered and have arranged
to cover broad scope of study.
Major Thomas, professor of
mathematics, is at Nashville. Tenn,

served most efficiently as princi-

In Major Troutman's place has
been secured Major F.. Il. Lusk,
formerly professor in the institute

bright; the institute expects to have
a full school with strengthened
faculty and additional equipment.
