Juniors in the Naval R.O.T.C. Unit will embark June 18 on the destroyer U.S.S. Tillman for the advanced training cruise, which will return on or about June 30. The officer in charge of the group of 28 students will be Lieutenant (j.g.) E. A. Seay, U.S.N., (assistant professor of Naval Science and Tactics), assisted by Chief Gunner's Mate W. E. Stevens, U.S.N.R.
The Harvard Unit on the Tillman will cruise in formation with the units from Yale on the U.S.S. Goff, Georgia Tech on the U.S.S. Taylor, and Northwestern on the U.S.S. Bainbridge. The destination has not yet been decided, but it is hoped that the ships will visit New London for the Harvard-Yale boat races. This uncertainty and the fact that there is no cruise for Sophomores and Freshmen at the end of the summer, is caused by lack of appropriation for the next fiscal year which commences on July 1. There will be instruction and drills during the day in preparation for the battle practice and the whaleboat race with Yale which will take place during the latter part of the cruise.
The following juniors will make the cruise: Section 1, C. D. Marshall, leader; Robert Bremer; C. A. Abele, Jr.; E. H. Clark, Jr.; D. T. Dodge; C. P. Lewis; M. B. Stone; John Wiggins; F. H. White; and F. L. Young 2nd.; Section 2, D. F. Pitcher, leader; R. G. Coburn, Jr.; Frederick Fraley, Jr.; Isaac Harter, Jr.; Howard Lapsley; Charles Morgan, Jr.; R. W. Pond; R. G. Werner; H. S. Williston; and D. J. Finlayson; Section 3, G. L. Dow, leader; Richard Borden; F. L. Crowley; Eugene DuBois; Andrew Hepburn; J. D. Hersey; R. A. Maish; G. Q. Thorndike; and R. F. White.
