MILITARY SCIENCE ZOOLOGICAI/CLUB 261 The University Zoological Club is composed of advanced students and instructors in the zoological and physiological departments, together with such other biological instructors and advanced students as are interested in its subjects. Its sessions are devoted to the presentation and discussion of abstracts of recent biological literature and of the results of investigation by the members of the club. It meets weekly in Natural History Hall. MILITARY SCIENCE The military instruction is under the charge of a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy and officer of the regular army of the United States. The course as a whole has special reference to the duties of officers of the line. A full supply of arms and ammunition is furnished by the War Department, including 300 cadet rifles and accoutrements, and two field pieces of artillery. Every male student able to perform military duty, and not excused for sufficient cause, is required to drill twice each week until he has gained credit for 20 semester hours. He is also required to study Drill Regulations for Infantry and to recite upon the same once a week until he gains credit for one semester hour. This practical instruction begins as soon as possible after he enters the University; but a preparatory student carrying no freshman studies and not expecting to matriculate during the year, is not permitted to drill. The standings in study and drill are placed on record, with other class credits; one semester of recitations and drill count two hours, and the three remaining semesters of drill three hours, and are requisite to graduation in every University course. Appointments in the battalion are made on nomination by the professor in charge and confirmation by the Faculty.
