Ellsworth is always glad to hear
of success achieved by it's boys. Out
at DePauw university, Greencastle,
Ind, Major Martin H. Shute is in
| command of the reserve officers
| training corps. This unit has just
| been awarded distinguished honors
by the War Department, the award
being made on drill, knowledge of
military fundamentals, and other
phases of military work. The award
| gives to DePauW distinguished col
| lege" rating, and was made to but
two others in an area that includes
sixteen states. The university pa
per gives to Major Shute the credit
for the honors brought to the uni
versity. 1t says editorially: etc
| Major Shute and his able assistants
goes the credit for an unusual de-
velopment and efficient organization
| Announcing his purpose soon after
his arrival here three years ago, the
major soon had everyone connected
with the department working with
the idea of developing the unit to a
place where it would be worthy OF
the high distinction recently achieved
by it."
