MILITARY MEN BEGIN STUDY

CAPT. CORDIER TO EXPLAIN WORK AND MAJOR HIGGINSON WILL SPEAK.

Captain Cordier will explain in full all matters relating to the course and will outline plans for the reorganization of the Harvard Regiment according to War Department regulations. If he is able to reach Cambridge in time for the meeting, Major Henry Lee Higginson '55 will also speak.

The period during which men may enroll in Military Science and Tactics 1 has been extended until next Tuesday. Except in the case of Freshmen no previous military experience is necessary in order to elect this course.
