Por your information, I am enclosing several pamphlets the 2.0.T.C. at this institution and two bulletins of the University of Kansas containing information relevant to R.0-T.C. training at this institutions | : I appreciate your interest very much in this matter, and assure you that all } on your part to correct the wrong impression re« tary training here will be of service to all concerned. Sincerely, KARL F. BALDWIN, Golonel, C.A.C., I thoroughly endorse the R. O. T. C. It performs a useful public service. It has many benefits for the individual who enrolls in it. By placing envphasis upon such qualites as capacity to analyze and abil- ity to execute, the R. O. T. C. aids in developing traits of great importance in civil life. FRANK T. STOCKTON, Dean, School of Business. FRIENDLY SUGGESTIONS Consult the University Bulletin on “GEN#RAL IN- FORMATION” and “ANNOUNCEMENT OF COUR- SES”. Read all remarks under “MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS” and “RESERVE OFFICERS TRAIN- ING CORPS”. Before enrollment consult the published bulletin “SCHEDULE OF CLASSES” under “MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS” for hours for R. O. T. C. in- struction. BE SURE TO ENROLL IN THE R.0.T.C. AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU FIRST ENROLL AT THE UNI- VERSITY. The course is for four years and you cannot combine the first two year’s work. If in difficulty as to your schedule, consult the officers in uniform present in the rooms where you enroll. In case you have had previous R.O.T.C. training, consult the R.O.T.C. office as to credits to be allowed for this training. The R. O. T. C. office and class rooms are centrally located in Fowler Shops. Inquiry is always welcomed. AFTER GRADUATION Upon being commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps, an officer is assigned to a Reserve Unit in or near his place of residence. He may, with his consent, attend a two weeks training camp each summer. Other voluntary active service with regular army units, maneuvers, Civilian Conservation Corps, service schools and the General Staff School are open as the Reserve Officer becomes better qualified and trained. During all periods of active duty he receives the usual pay and allow- ances for his grade. Promotion in the Reserves is on a systematic basis. Throughout the country our 100,000 reserve officers form an active and important group in community life. The R.O.T.C. imparts knowledge, not only in the field of military science, but also in the field of history and other social sciences. It exercises the intellect, the ability to apply the knowledge gained. Most important of all it seeks constantly to develop leadership and to build character, particularly those basic qualities of honesty, loyalty and physical and moral courage. To my mind the R.O.T.C. is doing more than de- veloping potential leaders, should the need of their services in defense of our country ever arise. It is building better and finer men and citizens who will be the leaders in many fields in the years to come. Harry H. WoopRING In the unstable world of today problems of na- tional defense loom large among our country’s prob- lems. The R.O.T.C. is one means of preparedness. The unit at the University of Kansas is voluntary, and provides training for military leadership as a part of the University’s service to state and nation. DEANE W. Matort, Chancellor Information Concerning The Resenue Officers Training Corps Division of Military Science and Tactics University of Kansas —— An institution worthy of the name of a “Univer- sity” should attempt to give its students an under- standing of the whole of life. lt should ignore no point of view, nor be uninterested in any personal or national need. Through its Department of Mili- tury Science, therefore, the University of Kansas offers, on a voluntary basis, a fine course of instruc- tion to all who are interested in Military Science and to those who wish to be specially trained for the national defense. Many College students bear witness to the values received in this course. PauL B. Lawson, Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. GENERAL INFORMATION The RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS was established at the University of Kansas in 1920 and is now a flourishing unit rated as “excellent”—the highest rating given by the United States Government. Enroll- ment has increased 45% during the past two years. Its purpose is to train and develop men of superior intelligence, sound judgment, ability in leadership, and devoted loyalty to our Democratic Ideals; men who in time of peace will be helped to better carry on their normal civil pursuits, and who in time of national emerency will be available to lead and direct other men. Graduates are commissioned as Lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps. Enrollment is ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY at the University of Kansas. Members of the R. O. T. C. cannot be required to perform military service because of this enrollment. Students may choose Coast Artillery (Antiaircraft) or Infantry. Cadets are organized into a regiment. A BASIC COURSE includes the first four semesters. An ADVANCED COURSE includes the last four semes- ters. The Basic Course must be satisfactorily completed before a student is eligibile to selection for the advanced course. The instruction, given under especially selected per- sonnel furnished by the War Department, in quality and grading, is on a par with that given in the Schools and College of the University. Besides subjects especially pertaining to the Infantry or Artillery, instruction in- cludes: Map Reading, Leadership, Aerial Photography, First Aid, Duties of Citizenship, Military History, Mili- tary Law, Transportation, Communications, Sketching, Rifle Marksmanship, Courtesies and International Rela- tions. There is nothing taught inconsistent with the national! attitude of our people for enduring peace. Christian ideals are encouraged. I most sincerely approve the military training given at the University of Kansas under the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Every eligible young man will make no mistake in availing himself of this privilege. GEORGE O. FOSTER, | Registrar. IN THE R. Ov T.:C.- YOU: GIVE a.
