Edson Murray a Sergeant in Wisconsin University Company.

Edson Murray, son of George E. Murray, has been made a sergeant in the ‘cadet company to which he belongs at Wisconsin University. Two years’ military training is required at the university and this being Edson’s first year his promotion to the rank of sergeant is proof that he has mastered the drills in very commendable monner. In the same company with him are a number of former cadets at Culver Military Academy who have not been recognized by promotion. A sergeant is the second rank above private and aside from first sergeant and sergeant-major is the highest non-commissioned rank in the university companies. It is not improbable that he will become a lieutenant or even higher during his second year in the university.
