Military Science and Tactics 1 will be the nucleus of the program of training, and additional instruction will probably be included in this single course, or further military courses will be introduced according to future arrangements with the War Department. All students who wish to join the training unit by taking Military Science 1 will be facilitated in every way by the College...
