As soon as additional Instruments can be obtained from the War Department, the R. O. T. C. band at Georgetown University, which made such a hit on its first appearance at recent foot ball | games. will consist of forty men. rank- {ing with the foremost military bands in American universities. Organized by Maj. Willlam H. Hob- son, “commandant at the Hilltop, the band has done more than anything else in the last year to put the R. O. T. C. unit on the map. It conyists now of a well trained, sneppy aggregation of thirty-two pleces under the direction of Carl” Shaffer. a retired Army band- master, who for a number of years di- rected the band at Gonzaga College. With the organization of the band, the R. O. T. C. now holds weekly dress parade on the campus, sometimes at- tended by Army officers and visitors at the college. For many years George- town haa felt the need of more “pep” In the cheering sections at foot ball games. especlaily, and the R. O. T. C. band is proving decidedly helpful in that regard One of the most important uses to which the new band can be put is in connection with commencement week and such events as last spring when Marshal Foch of France paid George- town the honor to visit the institution and with Gen. Lejeune, commandant- general of the United States Marine Corps, inspect the R. O. T. C. battalion. Heretofore the cadet corps has had to rely upon Fort Mver for its marching muric on fts annual ficld day. With the { organization of a band of its own, more {Interest ig being taken in the R. O. T.

Fegan, assistant dean at the law school. recelved the follow- ing note from one of his former pu- pils, William S.

If printed as a collectlon they would make ten volumes of about 300 pages each.

Dougherty brought back about one hundred volumes of “this character, most of them difficult to obtain even in Copen- hagen or Upsala. They are a very rich addition to the university library, already very well equipped with me- dieval historical sources.
