Excerpt from History of the Military Canteen At the beginning of the last century, and for some years after, the soldiers canteen was a wooden, drum-shaped affair, provided with a nozzle. (See cut p. 120.) To now return to that shape and adopt a hollow cylinder, modeled after a drum for packing figs in, would be an advance backwards. The history of mankind is the history of the development of weapons and equipment for war by improvements, in which one nation has overcome another and survived. Within a few months from now our military organization will have been readjusted. The arms and equipments to be necessitated by the increase in numbers of our permanent military establishment should be new and not of the nineteenth century pattern. By July, 1901, perhaps 60,000 canteens now carried by, or in the possession of, United States Volunteers and Regulars will have been turned in. Some of these canteens will be suspended by the returned volunteers beside the obsolete muzzle-loading firearms of the civil war period, and some may find their way into the museums for the collection and display of archaic military weapons and equipments. From being an inconsequential article of a soldier's personal equipment the canteen has become, in fact, one of the most important articles, because connected with hygienic considerations; in other words, because it carries water and because the majority of our troops are in localities where good water is of prime consideration to health. Those who live a comparatively fixed life can hardly weigh aright the importance of a good canteen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Harvard's Military Record in the World War The editor's association with all those mentioned above is a memory it is a pleasure to record. It is fitting that the records of service in the war should be preceded by a statement of what Harvard men did to prepare for the war. There is no one who was more interested in these preparations or is better qualified to write on this subject than Langdon P. Marvin '98, the author of the following article.
