as military, skill in flying is unquestionably a very de-
sirable attainment today. For information as to the re-

MILITARY TRAINING AT THE UNIVERSITY

The Federal Government has announced that it plans no
increase in the number of R.O.T.C. units maintained at
American colleges, but that those units already established
will be continued and utilized as a source from which to
draw about ten thousand young officers every year. At the
University of Kansas there are both a Coast Artillery unit
and an Infantry unit. Courses in military science are open
to all physically fit young men in the University, and credit
in the work is allowed by most schools. To be eligible to
receive a commission as a reserve officer in the United
States Army, a student must have completed eight se-
mesters of work in military theory, and have attended a
summer training camp of at least six weeks’ duration for
practical experience in the field. The basic course in mil-
itary science, consisting of the theoretical work of the first
two years, may be taken for credit alone, and although not
sufficient in amount to lead to a commission, it will be of
considerable value for many men.

The first enrollment in military science may be arranged
at the beginning of any semester during a student’s stay
on the campus.
