CHAPLAIN SCHOOL TO GRADUATE 189

Colonel John K. Howard, Commanding Officer 'of Army Training Schools at Harvard, will be the speaker at the graduation exercises of the twenty-first class of the Army Chaplain School on Monday at 9 o'clock in Sanders Theatre. The graduation will be preceded by a review of the class, but General Mud may curtail the drill on Cambridge Common which was originally scheduled.

The invocation will be given by Chaplain (Captain) Leland B. Henry, and will be followed by the presentation of diplomas by Chaplain (Colonel) William B. Cleary, Commandant of the School. Chaplain (Captain) Elwood C. Nance will pronounce the benediction.

The 198 chaplains who are graduating will leave for their stations immediately after the ceremonies. The twenty-first class of the Chaplain School will begin on Monday, March 27.

Men of every race, creed, and color, the chaplains graduated from Harvard's school have undergone training in grave registration, gas detection, first aid, Army administration and routine, map-reading, and military sanitation.

The grave registration, one of the principal tasks of chaplains on the fighting fronts, is to prevent too many "unknown soldiers." Chaplains are taught to erect simple wooden crosses where men have been buried, and to draw maps showing the position of their graves.

Chaplain School classes are held in Andover and in the Semitic Museum. The chaplains, who range in rank from First Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel, live in Perkins and Conant Halls, buildings once occupied by graduate students.
