Captain Adolphus Watson, Commander-in-Chief of the Cruiser Squadron of the Pacific Battle Fleet of the United States Navy, will arrive in Cambridge today to replace Captain Wygant who has been instructing in the most advanced Naval Science course.
When Captain Benyaurd Bourne Wygant, professor of Military Science and Tactics, left the University in the beginning of January to take command of one of the Navy's newest and best equipped ships, the U. S. S. Colorado, Captain Watson received orders from the Navy department to come to Harvard. Because of new orders from the Department Office in Washington, to the effect that he was to remain in charge of the Pacific fleet in the vicinity of Hawaii until the Admiral had ordered the manoeuvers to stop, his period of instruction at Harvard had to be delayed.
Captain Watson has recently been selected for promotion to a rear admiralty.
