President Lowell's approval of the regulations for the government of the University Regiment drawn up by Captain Cordier gives that organization an official recognition which it had not formerly possessed. The letter of President Lowell and the regulations are published below.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY,

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE. Cambridge, Mass.,   February 10, 1916.

The following Regulations (Provisional) for the government of the Harvard Regiment, prepared by Captain Constant Cordier, U. S. Army, are approved and published for the information and guidance of all concerned.   A. LAWRENCE LOWELL,   President.

Article 1.

ORGANIZATION.

1. This organization shall be known as the Harvard Regiment.

2. The object of the Regiment is to impart military training and knowledge to its members during the academic year, and to promote an interest in the student camps of instruction, held during the summer months, under Government supervision. All this with a view to preparing its members for the duties of junior officers of the Army in event of war.

3. The Regiment shall consist of headquarters, band, and two battalions, of four companies each, organized and instructed as infantry.

4. Except in the band, only persons duly registered as members of Harvard University are eligible for enrollment in the Regiment, and such officers and enlisted men of the Army of the United States who may be attached, detailed, or who have voluntarily offered their services in the capacity of instructors, etc.

5. Each person upon joining the Harvard Regiment shall sign the authorized enrollment blank, agreeing to devote three hours per week to military instruction, including both theoretical and practical work, during the period covered by the instruction course. A complete record will be kept of each member of the Regiment, showing his date of enrollment, his class, age, residence, company to which assigned, rank held, aptitude and general attention to instruction, attendance at and absence from drills, lectures, etc., and such other information as may be of future reference to the Government in event of a member being considered for appointment as an officer.

Article 2.

DISCIPLINE.

6. Members of the Regiment, duly enrolled, are required to obey and respect all officers appointed over them by proper authority.

7. Respect and obedience to superiors will be confined to the period when the members of the Regiment are actually undergoing instruction; l.e., at drills, or other military formations, and during the lectures, schools, etc., which they attend. It must be borne in mind that "courtesy among military men is indispensable to discipline," and that obedience to the will of the superior is the cardinal principle of proper military control and its resultant efficiency.
