THEY MAY BE RECALLED

Army Officers at Certain Colleges who complain are likely to eventually lose the military professors who are stationed there. The reports which have come from the army officers who are gratuitously detailed for duty, at the colleges in question do not indicate that substantial support is given the system of instruction in military science and tactics.

A rather disreputable occurrence has also been reported from one of the institutions, that at Alliance, D. T., known as the Mount Union college. The officer on duty at that college says the president of the institution, T. P. Marsh, does not seem to enforce attendance of the cadets at drill and the support of the faculty to the military instructor is moral only. The arms officer on duty there recently offered medals for proficiency in military work, and he was grieved to learn that six of the medals awarded by him were sold the next day by students to the local jeweler who made them.

The officer on duty on Grove City, Pa., college has reported that the authorities there do not fully support the army instructor. A similar report comes from the officer at the Ohio military Institute in Cincinnati. The officer at Baker university, Baldwin, Kas., says that he is supported "fairly" by the college authorities. The officer at Washington university, St. Louis, says the support is not as much as desired. The support of the college at Pullman, Wash., is reported fair.
