Brigadier General John A. Johnston, commanding general of the Northeastern Department, will address the members of the University Training Corps at the New Lecture Hall Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. The meeting will be a formal opening of practical training for the spring, and plans for the work in the R. O. T. C. during the next few months will be outlined at that time. All members of the Corps will be required to attend in uniform.

General Johnston has had long experience in the regular service. He was appointed to the United States Military Academy from Pennsylvania in 1875, and graduated four years later. During the year 1902 he went to Europe with Generals Corbin, Young and Wood as guests of the Emperor of Germany, and prepared a report of the Teuton War Manoeuvers which these officers witnessed. General Johnston attained his present rank in the year of 1903, when he resigned from active service. He is now on active duty once more, and for the duration of the war.
