Almost 1000 bluejackets of Harvard's Navy V-12 Unit, Including 200 Naval ROTC students, put on their biggest show of the year as they paraded in review before Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald, USN, Commandant of the First Naval District, and other dignitaries on wind-swept Soldiers Field yesterday.
Highlight of the brief affair was a close-order drill by the Naval Science regiment, executed with timing and precision. After the ROTC exhibition, which was preceded by a simultaneous salute of welcome to the visiting notables, the entire unit passed before Admiral Theobald, Captain George N. Barker, USN, and Dean Buck.
The review, postponed from Friday, October 1, was the official debut of the V-12 men now in training at Harvard, Music was supplied by the V-12 band under the direction of Lieut. (j.g.) Earle W. Barnes.
