...under the impression that the three hours set aside each week would be the only requirements of the course. As a matter of fact, in addition to these three hours, covering lectures, section work and drill, considerable outside reading and study will be necessary. Students cannot expect to receive credit for a full course toward a degree without the application which Harvard normally requires for the successful completion of any course. So far as the course in Military Science and Tactics 1 is concerned, I shall exact, if practicable, the same standards...
...advantages of the course over last year's Regiment are numerous. In that body, each man had to buy his uniform and received no credit for his work either from the University of from the War Department. Military Science and Tactics 1 will count as one course toward a degree, and toward a commission as a reserve officer...

This year only 130 men have signed up for a course which offers double the advantages of the practical work completed last spring...

The great value of such a plan is evident, for by taking those courses which are included in the regular curriculum a man may fit himself to take a commission in the reserve army in time of war. Previous to this new plan of creating college units of the reserve officers' training corps, anyone wishing a commission would have been compelled to have taken an additional course in some military school...
