A NON-MILITARY HABIT.

In the Regiment, as in any organized body, punctuality is requisite to efficiency. On account of the large number of late-comers, the military lectures and drill have been forced consistently to start late. In this regard Captain Cordier wants it known that tardiness hereafter will not be countenanced; that the Regiment will be reduced to those who can attend punctually. He requests that no one attend the lectures in future who cannot stay until the end.

From the necessity of such a request it is evident that some men are lagging. However sincere may have been the enthusiasm which produced the military movement at Harvard, as its novelty wears off, the crucial test of patriotic spirit appears.
