It had not a flat and even surface, but was considerably sloping from the door to the road, so that in icy times the scholars in passing out used to snatch from the scant declivity the transitory pleasures of a slide.

He [Joseph M. Heiser Jr.] praises the ordnance soldier and logistician and blames improperly used systems, misunderstandings as to how programs were to work, poor communications and leadership as the problems for many of the slipups in logistical support to the Army in the field, especially in the combat areas in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
