Miss Prudence Pipp, Dean of Vassar,  A. W. Hollis '00. Soldiers, sailors, students, nurses, cadets, etc.

The time of the play is the spring of '98, after the outbreak of the Spanish war. The first act is at West Point. The Cadets are entertaining some Vassar students at afternoon tea, when Colonel Einnoth arrives with the announcement that Major Bullet and the Cadets have been ordered to Porto Rico to take part in the war. This causes consternation for all, but especially for the lieutenant who thinks his love match with Bessie Bullet will be broken up. It is finally arranged that the Vassar students shall also go to Porto Rico as army nurses. The lieutenant has a rival for Miss Bullet's hand in Mr. Pipp, who is encouraged by his sister, the Dean.

The second act, which includes several specialties, is a moon-light scene at Coney Ilo, Porto Rico, where the Cadets have been stationed. The lieutenant's courting continues, but is threatened by the sudden arrival of Mr. Pipp. He intrigues with his sister, the head-nurse, to get rid of the lieutenant. The troops, however, seize him and force him into the service, and when he deserts a few days later he is court-martialed. The war suddenly ends with the announcement of the Peace Protocol and in Pipp's absence, Lieutenant Steel Armor marries Miss Bullet.

The play will be produced under the supervision of Mr. James Gilbert. The officials are: Business manager, C. R. Hayes '00; stage manager, A. B. Holden '00; property manager, C. A. Howland '00; musical director, F. C. Gulick '00.
