Campus Canards [Decoration Day]

The Hesperian Student, June 1, 1883

The Cadet Band takes part in the Decoration Day procession, marching to 28th St and then to the Cemetery. The Hesperian Student notes: "The cadets and their band were highly complimented with respect to discipline and music. However, the bass drummer should remember that a drum head can not stand a blow of over 1000 lbs. violence, and that bayonets are not just the things for drum sticks."
