Excerpt from Southern Good Roads, Vol. 3: January, 1911 The panorama from the top of the mountain can not be surpassed for loveliness and beauty, Far to the south, the surface of the Yellowstone Lake glimmers in the sun; the river winds like a ribbon of silver through the dark-green forests and then tumbles down into the Grand Canon, from which rise great clouds of spray. The huge crevice winding around the base of the mountain indicates the location of the canon. To the north one sees the Gallatin Range, the Elec tric and Bunsen Peaks, and the Cinnabar Mountains.

Excerpt from Tipyn O'bob, Vol. 15: October, 1917 Fresh from a leisurely summer vacation, not yet keyed up even to normal activity, the entering student faces the whirl of College and stands appalled. The problems of the last month are strangely inverted. The high cost of living is as nothing compared with the high speed of life. No longer is the eight-hour day a thing to suffer for - rather it is now insufferable that a day is but twenty-four hours long. Why should precious hours be needed for sleep? [not to mention lectures and prep aration therefore, are there not interviews, try - outs, authorizations, and class - meetings? Must not one eat, must not one dress? Do not indignant families send telegrams asking, Why no letter in two weeks? Does it not take time to condense explanations and apologies into a ten-word reply? But take comfort, oh Freshmen! Soon the hour for the last five minute interview will have passed. Morally, mentally, and physically catalogued, no longer need you stand before unopening doors. Saturday and Sunday will discover themselves to your clarified vision. With time will come leisure - but not so much that you can be wanton therewith. Scraped together, it may suffice to cover a few ying trips to Philadelphia; to afford the reading of a book non-essential to the English course; and, if the gods be supremely good, even to allow the achievement of a friend.

American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
