CADET EXAMS. BEGIN FEBRUARY 2

Cadets in the First District Ensigns School will take their final examinations for commissions on Saturday, February 2. Their graduation exercises will be held in Sanders Theatre on February 11, and on this date those who have completed the 15-weeks' course successfully will receive their commissions. One week later a new set of reservists will take up the same work.

Captain James P. Parker '96, N. N. V., has stated that he believes that this type of intensive training for commissions would be continued throughout the duration of the war. If the present plan is carried out, a new set of 150 officers will be graduated three or four times a year.

It is probable, however, that future schools will instruct more than the present number of cadets. Such an increase here would mean the acquisition of several new buildings, because the present quarters in Holyoke House, Dane and Harvard Halls are already taxed to their capacity.
