Excerpt from Historical Sketch, Constitution, and Register of the Military Order of the Carabao Together With Songs That Have Been Sung at Wallows in Various Places
The founders of the Order had no idea that the organization would ever attain its present pro portions. Its growth, however, has been rapid and continuous and its roll at the present time contains nearly two thousand names, among which may be found nearly all of the prominent Army and Navy officers who served during the early campaigns in the Philippines.
The first regular meeting of the organization was held on April 5, 1901, at the quarters of lieutenant-colonel George P. Scriven and Major B. H. Randolph, on Calle San Jose, Ermita, Manila. At this meeting Major Randolph was elected temporary president and preliminary steps were at once taken to draft a constitution.
