Accompanied by bugle notes and drum eats form a regular army band, nearly 200 of t he Military Science students will stage the University's first big outdoor display of militarism today. The review will take place on the rugby sector of Soldiers Field at 2:30 o'clock. It is an open affair to all interested.
The band, which was obtained by Colonel Harris, head of the Military Science department, will be the 13th Infantry one form Fort Devens. Colonel Leroy Collins, of the First Corps area will inspect the proceedings, and among the spectators will be the visiting Committee on Military and Naval Science and Tactics and a number of College deans.
After the half hour's review, the unit will break up into sections for individual drills. Service of the piece, equitation, harnessing, setting up communications systems firing a Trainer gun, and pistol practice are among the pastimes which will be engaged in for about an hour.
Seniors Run Proceedings
Military Science IV seniors who will direct the demonstration are Charles W. Kessler, Battalion Commander, F. Gorham Brigham, Jr., Battalion adjutant, and the four Battery commanders, James J. Gaffney, Jr., Robert A. Williams, Edward T. Gignoux, and Francis A, Wendell. Other important Senior officers of the unit are Clifton F. Kann, Malcolm S. M. Watts, Jr., William F. Renner, Richard M. Walsh, Jr., Henry M. Adlis, and Richard S. Levering, Jr.
On Monday the dress rehearsal was staged, and it went off like clockwork except for slight difficulties among the harnessing group. For at least two of the horses refused to submit to amateur harnessers, and one of the beasts created a small panic by promptly lying down when his girth was tightened by inept hands.
