T. Nance to-day gave the class formal notification to that effect. He answered the letter sent to him by the seniors, wherein they suggested the wisdom of amending the instructions which they had disobeyed. Captain Nance's letter is as follow: Cadets Joseph P. Loeb, John §. Edwards and J. Gustav White, University of California (the committee from seniors in class military 2A)—Gentlemen: I have the honor to ac- knowledge the receipt of your letter of the Otk instant requesting, in behalf of the senlors in the class of military 2A that the instruc- tions of this department dividing the class in military, 2A into sections and requiring the sections to form on the road east of North Hall and thence march to the classroom be revoked and that instead certain other named methods be adopted. In reply I will state that this department must ‘‘enforce proper military discipline at all times when students are under military instruction.” This requirehent applies to theoretical instruction as well as to practical Instructor Says All Orders Must Be Obeyed.
