Justifies Memorial
The value of the service of the Uni
versity of Idaho in these two wars
is held to be of sufficient Importance
to justify a memorial such as the
alumni plan to build in the form of
permanent home for the military
and physical education departments.
The present armory-gymuasium was
built in 1905 The enrolment in
military courses was at that time
about $50 but now the number re-
ceiving training has mounted to 450
while the amount of space for the de-
partment has not been increased at
all Next year the enrolment is ex-
pected to go well over the 500 mark
and the military staff is wondering
how so many can @Dbe efficiently
handled with the present facilities.
The armory-gymnasium would not
only be a memorial to the university
men but would be a recognition of
the long service of Col. e. r. Chris
man, who was the first commandant
of the corps, and who is still at the
head of the department. Colonel
Chrisman came to the university as
a second lieutenant. He was pro-
NOTED to a first lieutenant and placed
at the head of the department In
1898 he was transferred to Cuba,
where he captained a company dur
ing part of the Spanish-American
war. He was sent to the Philippines
after his Cuban service but in 1902
returned to the University of Idaho,
where he remained until 1906 when
he was ordered back to the Philip
pines. He remained in the islands
until 1908 and upon his return to the
United States was placed on duty at
the South Dakota State college, where
he remained from 1909 to 1911. He
was then promoted to be major and
sent to Alaska, returning in 1912 to
serve with the national guard of New
Jersey until 1914, when he was or
dered to the Panama Canal zone. He
had been commissioned a colonel prior
to his service in the canal zone and
when the United States entered the
World war he was sent to Porto Rico
as a brigadier- general and placed in
charge of the American forces there.
In 1919 he returned to the University
of Idaho This year as in former
years, he will command the summer
at Camp Lewis, Wash
ington.
