MILITAIY HEAD WRITES ON SUMMER ACTIVITIES

The following article was written for the Crimson by Captain D, L. Ruffner of the Military Science Department.

During the summer months several students in the Department of Military Science availed themselves of the opportunity to spend some enjoyable and instructive months at the Revere Officers' Training Camp at Ticonderoga, N. Y. The camp, which is located at Fort Ethan Allan lies among the historic and scenic hills of upper New York.

Here a combined group of Harvard and Yale R. O. T. C. units gather for the study of Field Artillery, besides for the usual activities of a camping life.

The camp, which is under government supervision, is conducted on a semi-military basis, and is to field artillery what Plattsburg is to infantry. Harvard and Yale are together at this camp merely because they happen to be in the same corps area.

Upon approaching the impressive gates of the post proper, one feels the influence of the Army, and within the barriers such signs as "Speed Limit Twelve Miles per Hour." "Government Property" all confirm the impression of smooth organization. However, a spirit of friendliness prevails once the first awe is overcome, and there is no such thing as monotony at Ethan Allan.

The food served is of the best and simplest nature, and is of the type to put the camper into prime physical' condition.

In answer to a frequent inquiry of prospective entrants, the grooming of horses does not play a major part in the camp's activities, though a limited amount of such work is required.
