College War Service
(Continued from page 1.)
Signing Up
‘War Work will be signed up on the gym-
nasium bulletin board in the same man-
ner and place as the required exercise.
Miss Taylor will check up the lists for
the Conscription Board as her share of
war work.
Hockey is scheduled for three days a
week and is considered as the three hours
of recreation under conscription.
The two hours of physical development
will be taken up in drill. Every hall
forms a battalion which is subdivided
into platoons and squads. A Battalion
Commander is responsible for the hall;
Platoon Leaders and Squad Leaders, for
their divisions. The entire college, led
by the Senior Commander, will drill every
Tuesday at 5 o’clock on the second
hockey field for half an hour.
The second half-hour period of drill
commanded by the platoon and squad
leaders, will be taken in two quarter of an
hour periods if desired and at such times
as are decided upon by the leaders.
The drills are based upon the methods
in use at the United States Military Acad-
emy under: Major Koehler.
Students who repeatedly fail to do the
conscripted work will have their names
posted on Black Lists in the gymnasium
and in Taylor Hall.

ance at tutoring classes. In the Senior

Summer reading is not required under

foreign languages (Greek or French, or
German), which she offered at entrance.
Students entering with Greek will be ex-
cused from this examination at the be-
ginning of the year following the year
in which they have elected and passed a
minor or major course in Greek.
On the second Saturday of the Junior
year, an examination must be taken in a
language not offered at entrance, Greek,

entering with Greek are required to take
French or German. This examination will
be elementary in character.
