Senior Farewell

Advanced military training classes are offered by the U. D. Reserve Officers Training Corps to students wishing to obtain a reserve commission in the U. S. Army. Restrictions imposed by the War Department in Washington strictly limit the number of cadets who may be selected for advanced work. Selections are made by the Professor of Military Science and Tactics, who notes particularly the cadet's scholastic standing, military discipline, aptness, leadership ability and physical qualifications.

Both junior and senior military classes devote five class hours a week to theoretical subjects and the practical training received by the cadet officers in their drill with the R.O.T.C. battalion. Class instruction is given by Major James F. Strain, P.M.S. and T., and Major Edgar Keltner.

Military

All juniors receive instruction in the use of aerial photographs, machine guns, and the automatic pistol, as well as in combat principles and defense against chemical warfare. During the vacation following the close of their junior year, the cadet officers receive intensive training in the six weeks summer camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where they are taught to apply the principles and theory learned in class.

Senior classwork includes military history and policy of the United States, military law , company administration and supply, mechanization, anti-aircraft defense, combat intelligence, combat principles and infantry signal communications. After graduation the newly comm issioned officers are stationed for two weeks at Fort Knox where they are in their full capacity as Second Lieutenants.
