rolls. On account of darkness and cold the drill hour during the fall 

 term should be the first period in the afternoon. 



I reconiniond that the alloAvance for cadet officers and bandsmen of 

 the senior class be increased from .^2.25 to $3.00 per lenn. A'ery few 

 of the seniors require the drill credits allowed but most of them find 

 the money allowance acceptable in view of the expense involved in 

 uniform alterations and the purchase of snl)ers, shoulder straps, collar 

 ornaments, cap straj), and extra collars and gloves. I believe it would 

 also be well to award to the captain of the prize company a medal 

 which is to remain his personal property. 



In conclusion I have to state with regret that imder the new law 

 limiting the detached service of officers of the Army, my tour at this 

 institution comes to an end today. My experience here has been an 

 interesting and valuable departure from Regular Army routine. I be- 

 speak for my successor. Lieutenant J. B. De Lancey, 7th Infantry, 

 who should report in a few days, your most generous consideration and 

 support. Ven' respectfully, 



A. C. CRON, 

 1st Lieutenant, 10th Infantry, 

 Professor of Military Science and Tactics.
