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 Be commissioned as Lieutenants in the Officers Reserve orps. 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. 0. T, C.-YOU GIVE a.
