This afternoon the University R. O. T. C., organized into two new American companies, will carry out a combat exercise at Fresh Pond before the University Board of Overseers, who are to hold a stated and special two-days' meeting in Cambridge today and tomorrow. The maneuvers are scheduled to begin at 4 o'clock, but the different companies will fall in at their regular places to march to the trenches at 2.30 o'clock.
At the appointed time the two companies of infantry will be drawn up in reserve on the road west of the Fresh Pond Reservation, Captain F. Parkman '19 commanding the first and Captain A. H. Bright '19 the second company. They will move up on the system of trenches above Command Post Ridge, assumed to be hastily built, where they will relieve a battalion, occupy the first line and attack at once in two waves in a direction west-east.
Lieutenant Morize will supervise the exercise and give the time of the different phases which will be recorded in "zero plus so much." The artillery barrage will be represented by flags carried by members of the Corps.
Members of the Corps who have taken the early finals but who have not left College, will be expected to take part in maneuvers. No exercise will be held tomorrow, as that today will take its place. The work at Fresh Pond this afternoon will take precedence over all other academic engagements.
