SUNDAY MARCHES.

Rifle practice and Sunday marches, recent additions to the regimental schedule, fill in gaps in the Harvard organization which several publications have overlooked in their favorable comment. The Sunday marches will perform a valuable function if sufficient numbers take part. But the success of the experiment depends directly upon the proportion of the Regiment which will use this opportunity for practical experience.

Aside from its instructive value, the road work provides physical exercise suitable for a Sunday afternoon. An invigorating breath of air and the inspiration of the military band tempt even the most phlegmatic nature; and the actual marching will not cover more than an hour.

The plan of Sunday marches is for them to progress in requirement of technical knowledge. After stressing at first march discipline,-such as cadence, and prevention of straggling, the Regiment plans to devote the later hikes to the more complex points. On the second Sunday an advance and rear guard will be formed; and later reconnoitering parties will deliver attacks and counter-attacks, the placement of troops being governed by the individual situation. To be qualified to take part in the interesting and complicated maneuvers, men will have to master the fundamental principles of march discipline, and for this reason attendance at next Sunday's hike will be an asset.
