...General's Office and those men who are qualified will be sent to one of the training schools for officers conducted by the Government. In this way, students who are in Military Science 2 can remain in College throughout their course without fear of being drafted into the army as privates. This order has been promulgated by command of the Secretary of War and it is expected that other schools and colleges whose R. O. T.

They consider themselves good enough to go and fight their country's battles, however, and we, with our old system of athletics, in which we placed the premium on the specialized expert, have really denied them the physical training that they find so necessary...
