E. L. Druckamiller and D. E. MtClintic, Syracuse students, attending Indiana University at Bloomington, are members of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at the university which recently won high praise in an Inspection of the unit by Governor Warren T. McCray; General Herbert M. Lord, director of the budget of the United States; Lt 1 Col. David H. Biddle, commander of R. 0. T. C. units in the fifth army corps, and other regular army officers. Indiana university’s R. 0. T. C. Unit has won recognition from the war department as a “distinguished college’’ unit for three fconbecutive years, but Col. Biddle pronounced the inspection and review this year as “the best parade and inspection I have ever seen at Indiana university. Even better than the fine review you presented last year,” was the commandants response to efforts of student soldiers at the state university. In view of the excellent showing made, Indiana univensity is virtually assured her fourth consecutive rating from the war department as a ‘’gold star” unit. Military training was established at the university in 1917 in lieu of calisthenics and other required physical exercises. The enrollment in military science has increased since then from 400 to more than 700, and the instructional staff has increased from one regular army officers, two warrant officers, and two sergeants. In the training of the university cadets, the prescribed program of the war department is followed closely and the instruction given covers all phases of infantry training. AH students graduating in four years of work in the R. O. T. C. are offered commissions as second lieutenants in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, while honor graduates in "distinguished college" schools are eligible to appointment without examination as second lieutenants in the regular army. o SOUTH SHORE INN TO OPEN The South Shore Inn.

MEMORIAL DAY Wednesday, May 30, is set apart as a national day of fasting and prayer in connection with the usual observance decorating the graves of the soldiers of the Civil War. On this day the survivors of the Grand Army of the Republic will, for the 55th time, gather at the graves of their comrades, and o’er the waters deep, to scatter flowers in memory of the days when they stood shoulder to shoulder for the preservation of this natioaas a nation. It is 58 years since the muster out of service. The boy of 17 years has become a white-haired man past the allotted three score and ten, and few of them remaining.. are able to attend to the duties incident to this Decoration Day. These are the men to whop death had been a constant companion for five years—they had dined with him and sat at his side through along weary months, while he constantly hovered over the hospital couch or the field. These are the men who were the component parts of a great episode in history, the factors by which monstrous war was achieved and won—and a nation saved. Like the battle flags which rest among the choicest treasures of the Grand Army Posts, these veterans recline in the evening of their days among associations which remind them of their gallant prime. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the old veterans are marching. Forth from the Soldier’s Home and the old fireside they come at the bugle note and move in shadowy parade over a dreamland route with .their old comrades of the past, escorted by the American Legion and civic organizations. Many more times they cannot march beneath the starry flag and for many this is the last Decoration Day on earth. There may be pomps of plume and pageantries of splendor, but none will ever attain the cumulative glory of this day and its grand army about which the lines of life and death are being more tightly drawn than on the battle field. In a few years it will be simply a matter of history and of memory—but a memory that will live as an example in patriotism for many generations of loyal’ Americans. It is worthy of note that for more than half a century not one stirring patriotic song of national import has been written, and to-day. when the nation is stirred to its profoundest depths, we are going back 50 years or more to find one song of stirring prominence. Nothing has been produced to take the place of "Tenting Tonight” m deep pathos and plaintive sentiment No rallying song has ever been produced equal to "We are Coming Father Abraham. Three Hundred Thousand More.” No soldier or poet ever wrote a war ode so full of human sympathy

and genuine soldier spirit as “We have Drunk from the Same Canteen." All these breathe a spirit of intense patriotism that came from the heart. From the South, too, came some of the most beautiful poems of the war. “Somebody’s Darling” serves to-day as the mother-cry of all war-cursed nations and "The Conquered Banner” and "Maryland, My Maryland," are almost as dear to the hearts of the Yank as to the Reb. On Memorial Day, 1867, a patriot group of splendid Southern women gathered at Columbus, Miss., scattered flowers upon the graves of Confederate and Union soldiers alike. This was the inspiration of one of the finest poetic gems in literature of patriotism. It is entitled “The Blue and the Gray," by Francis Miles Finch, and the last couplet is: No more shall the war cry sever Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever When --they laurel our graves of the dead. Under the rod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day— Under the roses the Blue, Under the lilies the Gray. o VICTORY NOTES Victory Notes which matured May 20th have ceased to bear interest.
