No account of his career would be complete without mention of the famous “Frankfort Squad” of 1880. The fifth general German _Turnfest_ was to be held at Frankfort-on-the-Main on July 25-28 of that year, and _Turnverein_ “Milwaukee” decided to send a team of seven members, under their teacher Brosius, to take part in the exercises and compete for prizes. To the amazement of everyone, at home and abroad, they succeeded in winning second, third, fifth, sixth, thirteenth and twenty-first place in the competitions. Herman Koehler, whose mother was the oldest sister of Brosius, carried off the second prize. He afterwards completed the course at the Normal School (1882) under his uncle, and since 1885 has been Master of the Sword and director of physical training at the West Point Military Academy, with the present rank of Colonel.
