Cols. Horkan, McReynolds Inspect QM Unit; 3300 Naval Trainees Hold Annual Review

CAMP LEE'S HEAD TO BE BRIGADIER

Colonel George A. Horkan, Commandant of Camp Lee, Va., now visiting the Army Supply Training Schools, and Colonel Wilbur R. McReynolds, head of the training division of the Office of the Quartermaster General, inspected the Harvard Quartermaster ROTC unit Wednesday. The three battalions, totaling 340 men, paraded before the two inspectors and seven other officers and Faculty members in front of the Baker Library at 1645.

As a special feature of the ceremonies, Colonel McReynolds presented Colonel Horkan two silver stars in honor of his recommendation by President Roosevelt for a promotion to Brigadier General, which is expected to be confirmed by Congress in a few days. Colonel Horkan and Colonel McReynolds received from Dean David seals of the Harvard Business School in recognition of their help in the training of the Quartermaster Corps.

Reviewing Party

Included in the reviewing group, besides Colonel Horkan and Colonel McReynolds, were Dean David, Assistant Dean Fraser, Lt. Col. G. F. Connor, Major Hugh Kevin, Captain Nelson Miles, Lieutenant W. R. Guthrie, and Professor Malcolm P. Macnair. Cadet Colonel George N. Cannon 3G.B., Salt Lake City, Utah, Cadet Major Norman Racusin 3G.B., Cambridge, and Cadet Sergeant Major O. C. Honig 3G.B., Boston, led the ROTC, and conducted the reviewers in an inspection tour of the three battalions.

After the presentation of the silver stars and seals, which took place on the lawn in front of the library, the reviewing group walked back to the steps, where they watched the rest of the ceremonies. The cadets marched off the field, came back in a few minutes, and stood at attention while the national anthem was played through the public address system.
