Alumni and Former Students [Drill and Uniform Changes]

The Hesperian, March 1, 1892

Clement Chase (class of 1883) supports the military department's changes to drill and uniform requirements in a lengthy article to the Hesperian. "I am rather pleased than otherwise to ascertain that hereafter no cadet will be allowed to wear any part of his uniform when not on duty unless he wears the whole. To my mind, nothing looks seedier than to see a neat blue jacket with brownish or yellowish or even black trousers; or a little cadet cap on the head of a man the rest of whose dress does not carry out the military idea."
