CAPT. A. W. BJORNSTAD DETAILED TO UNIVERSITY

Captain Alfred W. Bjornstad, U. S. A., until recently on duty as an instructor at the Army Service School, has been assigned to the University as Professor of Military Science.

At the opening of College it was intended to have Captain Bjornstad come to Cambridge to take up the work of the Military Department in co-operation with Captain Cordier. Some uncertainty in the War Department orders as to his final appointment, however, has delayed his assignment to the University until now. The size of the Battalion and the interest shown by the University in military instruction entitles it to the services of two officers of as high rank as captain.

Captain Bjornstad is an expert on infantry conditions and it was his study and knowledge of the methods used by the Boers that caused the revision of the United States infantry drill regulations a few years ago.
