IRVINE BELSER WRITES
OF FORT OGLETHORPI
Alumnus Tells of the Southen
Training Camp.
Editor of THE GAMECOCK-A
an alumnus of the University o
South Carolina, I am taking th
liberty of calling tbe attention o
the members of the Universit
to the opportunities offered b:
the Southern Military Traininj
Camp located at Fort Ogle
thorpe, Ga.
. Whatever may be one's view!
on the desirability of universa
peace, I assume that there is lit
tle diversity of opinion regarding
the proposition that universa
peace is not attainable in th4
near future, and that if we as i
nation are going to be compelle(
to fight, we should be in positiot
to make a good fight. There i
likewi'se little diversity o
opinion on the proposition tha
we are at the present time la
mentably unprepared to figh
even a second class power. Ther4
is particularly a great need 0:
officers to train volunteers ii
time of war, and it is the pur
pose of the camp to fit men t<
fill this need.
This camp is admirably equip
ped to carry out the purpose foi
which it was intended. It is lo
cated in the beautiful Chicka
mauga Park of 8,000 acres, th(
scene of the famous battle ol
Chickamauga, and is in the im
mediate vicinity of Lookoul
Mountain and Missionary Ridge,
From the standpoint of location,
the camp is scenically, climatic.
ally. historically ideal. The in.
struction which the students re.
ceive is given by the officers ol
the regular United States army,
and it is difficult to imagine how%
one could learn more in on(
month than one learns here,
There will be a special camy
held in the summer from Jul3
5 to August 8 for college stu.
(tents and I want to urge ever
member of the University wh<
can to attend. The entrance re
quirements are not very strict
and if the present bill before th(
president is approved all expen
ses will be paid. The Universit3
should send at least a hundrec
men to the student's camp, an(
when the students understan(
the purpose and conditions oi
the camp ..I believe they wil
come. I hope the Universit>
will respond to the call for prepa
ration, as I know it would to the
call for volunteers to defend the
country-and as it did in 1861
1865-to the last man.
Very sincerely yours,
Irvin6 F. Belser, 1910.
