THE CADET ISSUED BY THE CORPS OF VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE VOL. IX LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1915 NO. 10 OFFICERS FIETEO FOR ENSUING YEAR—GENERAL i. M. I. MEN TO ENTER THE UNITED STATES ARMY and Endowment Association Meets Prior to Alumni Smoker—Committee to Be Appornted to Carry Out Work SPEAK BEFORE RICHMOND CHAPTER SHANNON 10 JUDGE STORIES GENERAL NICHOLS SPEAKS IN EAST AND NORTH Secretary of War Commends His Suggestions Committee on Military Affairs—Visits New York and Washington Professors at Washington and Lee Univarsity-and Tynos Are Added to Cadet and Supplement Staff Respectively More than 100 alumni of the In-stitute v/ere present at the smoker of the Richmond chapter which was held on the roof garden of the West-moreland club Founder's day, Nov. 11th. Among those speaking before the association were Major General Leon-ard Wood, commander of the depart-ment of the East, U. S. A., General E. W. Nichols, superintendent of V. M. I., and Hon. A. A. Blow, class of '77, a distinguished mining engineer of New York. In his address General Wood urged that graduates of the V. M. I. be pre-pared to enter the service of the Fed-eral government when needed. He discussed principally the proposals now being considered by the war de-partment to increase the number of officers in the regular army and em-phasized the fact that the additional commissions will go to the graduates of recognized military schools, Virgin-ia Military Institute ranking next to the United States Military Academy at West Point. General Wood was introduced by Governor Stuart, who paid high trib-ute to General Wood as the ranking officer in the United States army to whom the nation looks in the event of war. Virginia Military Institute was commended by the governor as the pride of all Virginia. Among the points stressed by Gen-eral Wood was the availability of the Austrian or Swiss systems of mil-itary training in the United States. These systems provide for the instruc-tion of boys, a term of service with the colors, and intensive training for a brief period each year between the ages of eighteen and thirty-one. He outlined plans for military courses in such institutions as Yale, Harvard, and other big universities, to arouse the interest of the students in the summer camps of instruction, where! they may get practical training. "There are many .-plendid officers in the army from the Virginia Milita-1 ry Institute," said General Wood, I •"and we wish we had more. The j plans proposing an increase in the officers of the army will give an op-portunity for gaduates of this school to enter the service, and advise That an excellent decision upon the poems and stories in our contest will be rendered is guaranteed by the fapt that, competent judges have been secured. These judges are two professors of the English department of Washington and Lee university, Drs. Greever and Shanon. It is not necessary to say that these men are scholars and competent critics. By acting as our judges they are render-ing us a great honor, for which we are grateful. The supplement will be seventy page magazine, cover printed in two colors, and will be sent to all high schools and colleges in Virginia. Fisher Tynes has been appointed as assistant business manager of the supplement. "Fish" is working some, too. He types at least ten let-ters a day, laying off on Sunday. The time limit for manuscripts to be handed in has been extended to Nov. 28th. This will give men a longer period to work on their stories and poems. A large number of stories and poems are now in and many are still being written. Guatav Karow of Savannah, Ga., has b.een added to The, Cadet staff, he being ([appointed as an associate editor. Karow has had previous experience in newspaper work and hi3 services have already been a great help to The Cadet this year. Gus is also leader of the Mandolin club, an organization of which cadets relie strongly upon for ' entertainment, come summer and j thoights of finals.

Help us to revise and cor-rect our book General Nichols left Lexington Monday night to attend a meeting in New York of the Association of Col-lege Presidents named by the war depatment in connection with the summer camps. While in New York, he conferred with General Leonard Wood and met a number of leading members of the several bodies now i working on phases of the general pre-paredness idea.

Garri-son, secretary of war, commending his suggestion to Representative Hay and j his memoranda relative to the proper ! use of the military schools of the ! country in the work of providing a i reserve corps of officers for the army. | Senator George E. Chamberlin of Oregon, has also written General Nichols about the same subject. Sen-ator Chamberlin is an ardent advocate | of military training in the schools of the country, and he took occasion in his letter to say that General Nichols' suggestions, contained in his letter to Representative Hay and in the memoranda submitted to the war department through the executive committee of the Association of Mili-tary Schools and Colleges, were of very great value and would receive careful consideration in Washington. General Nichols will return to the Institute on Thursday. He has accept-ed an invitation to speak at the third j annual meeting of the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, to be held at the New Ebbitt House, Washington, on Dec. 3rd.
