that G. M. C. has been selected

The telegram received by Col.

Secretary of War extends congratu
lations.

This is the third important dis
tinction the college has been given
this year. The Southern association
report on the cbllcge placed its
academic rating at the top of the list
of essentially military schooln in the
entire South and the football cham
pionship of the state was won with
out dippute. The academic rating
showed that graduates of G.
in colleges and universities
charged against them the lowest per
centage of failures recorded among
tjt© ensentgal'y military school
the South.
Supremacy in academic, military
end athletice activities is an out
standing accomplishment Rarely if
ever paralled by onv schooL Col.
Re»ch n«cribed the success cf the
school this year to the high toned,
experienced faculty and the splendid
co-operation of the Board of Trus
tees and the interest of the people
• Milledgevflle. He also said tiie
fine spirit and loyal interest of the
cadet corps was a contributing fac
tor.
Capt. Frank Mansfield, U. S. A.,
the Profemor of Military Science
nnd Tactics, assigned to duty at G.
department to a high standard of
efficiency. During the past eight
yea s, the representatives of G. M.
C. at the summer R. O. T. C. camps’
have won the efficiency trophy
times out of ten, and among the
school trophies is the Hcarat Trophy
won by the rifle team for making
the highest score in the nation.
The football team that went
through the season without defeat
was coached by Wallace Butts and
T. H. Rentz. The team defeated all
the leading junior colleges of the
state.
Plans for the coming school year
are now being made and the college
authorities are preparing for the
largest enrollment fn a number of
years. G. M. C. recently celebrated,
its fifty-second enmmenennent
has the distinction of claiming among
its alumnae many outstanding men
of the nation. The school has also
furnished the largtest pumber |of
officers and reserve officers to the
United Staten army of any military
school iti the nation outside the ser
vice academy.
The Honor School rating will en
title G. M. C. to send one of its
graduates each year to the United
.States Military and Naval Academ
ies. It will also permit each member
cf the student body to wear a star
on the sleeve of the uniform coat
the mark of honor distinction.
The cadets were inspected in the
early part of the year by Col. Reed,
head of R. O. T. C. work in the
Fourth Corps area, who recommended
that the Honor School inspection be
made. In April Maj. Ferris and Maj.
Newgarden, of the War Departmest,
come here and made the honor
schocl inspection. The officers gave
the cadet corps a thorough test dur
ing the two days they were here.
There were about fifty schools in-
