AN ADDITIONAL COMPANY

The R. O. T. U. is in a splendid predicament when an early morning hour for drill has to be added in order to accommodate the number of men applying for admission into the Corps. Now that the University authorities have made it possible for further enrolment many men who at first found it impossible to join the unit on account of laboratory classes ought to reconsider the question. Although the new drill hour will entail greater effort and the purchase of sundry alarm clocks, the chance of receiving an adequate training for an officers' commission is well worth the sacrifice. Since the training unit at Harvard is limited by the rules of the War Department to twelve companies totalling 960 men, a Machine-Gun Company and a Headquarters Company, this new company will be theoretically known by one of the former names, but practically it will be the same as any other company. The same drill and instruction will be given this morning company as the other twelve companies receive.

The complaints of Law School men and scientifically inclined undergraduates against the inconvenience of the drill hours have been many. With great difficulty this special hour has been arranged to satisfy a considerable number of men so situated. Over a thousand have already shown their willingness to make sacrifices. Surely the hundred odd eligibles for the new company will not lack similar courage.
