...special status of the ROTC units as externally established and controlled Departments of Military Science, Naval Science, and Aerospace Studies represents an undesirable delegation of authority by the Harvard Faculty. It appears that Harvard must accept at least the prescribed course content of the ROTC programs as a condition for maintenance of the programs. If Harvard were to determine that some part of the minimum content was inappropriate for a liberal arts college or if Harvard were to demand that any particular course material should be included in the curriculum, it would have no assurance that its desires would...

Of 142 NROTC members, 79 per cent take Naval Science as a fifth or sixth course. All 49 members of the Air Force program take Aerospace Studies as a fifth course. ROTC grades are, however, counted in computation of a student's rank list group, and a grade in a ROTC course will substitute for any lower grade...
