Captain Law: former cadet and archaeologist joins NMMI faculty

He was a cadet at NMMI from 1925 to 1927, graduating as a Second Lieutenant while working on the Maverick staff and taking his first two years of college ^[2][1]. He then graduated from San Diego State College in 1929 with a Bachelor’s degree in English, taught school in San Diego for two years, and entered the University of Southern California around 1931 to study archaeology ^[1]. That first summer he did fieldwork among ruins near Phoenix, Arizona; after a second year at USC, he toured the East visiting natural history museums ^[1]. Back at NMMI, he taught one class in Southwestern Literature and four classes in English 12 ^[1]. His weekend hobby was searching for archaeological sites, though one trip near West Texas left him stuck in sand, out of gas, and with a ruined tire ^[1].
