War 458.97 HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY JAN 2 1899 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. H. E. Sutherly, PREFACE. The following lectures have been prepared as a military science course in this University, to meet the requirements of the "theoretical instruction" prescribed in General Orders No. 93, Adjutant General's Office, series 1893, for institutions of learning receiving the detail of an Army Officer to act as profes sor of military science and tactics. The lectures have been prepared upon the assumption that students have drilled one year and have become proficient in infantry drill regulations to include battalion movements, and in artillery drill regulations to include the "School of the Cannoneers." These lectures will be bound in three "parts," Part I being intended as a text-book for sophomores, Part II for juniors and Part III for seniors. These books may also be found useful to National Guard Officers, and Noncommissioned Officers, as they constitute a progressive course, leading up from armory drill to battle tactics.
