Military Academy, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. TRUMAN D. THORPE, First Lieutenant, U. S. Army, Retired, Graduate U. S. Military Academy, Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics. GEORGE E. DICKIE, B.L., Instructor in Military Science and Tactics. The courses in military training are those prescribed by the War Department for infantry units of the reserve officers' training corps. The United States furnishes arms, equipments, and uniforms for students belonging to such units. The primary object of establishing units of the reserve officers' training corps is to qualify, by systematic and standard methods of training, students at civil educational institutions for reserve officers. The system of instruction prescribed presents to these students a standardized measure of that military training which is necessary in order to prepare them to perform intelligently the duties of commissioned officers in the military forces of the United States, and it enables them to be thus trained with the least practicable interference with their civil careers. It should be the aim of every educational institution to maintain one or more units of the reserve officers' training corps in order that in time of national emergency there may be a sufficient number of educated men, trained in military science and tactics, to officer and lead intelligently the units of the large armies upon which the safety of the country will depend. The extent to which this object is accomplished will be the measure of the success of the reserve officers' training corps. The course of training provides that the cadet officers and non-commissioned officers participate in the administration and training and share the responsibility therefor. The course is designed to train leaders of platoons in infantry companies. The platoon cannot be considered apart from larger units of which it forms a part. Intelligent teamwork depends on the leaders of smaller tactical units understanding the working of the larger units of their own arm, alone or in combination with other arms. The student upon graduation should know what is required of a platoon from the point of view of the company commander, and understand clearly the interior economy of a company. He should know what is demanded of the soldier as an individual, and he should have some idea of the tactical handling of a battalion, of which his company is a smaller unit. The courses are divided into two groups, the lower division or basic courses and the upper division or advanced courses. 2 In residence second half-year only, 1917–18. LOWER DIVISION COURSES The lower division or basic courses are prescribed for all able-bodied male undergraduates who are citizens of the United States, and under twenty-four years of age at admission to the University as students. A first-year or second-year student claiming exemption because of physical disability, non-citizenship or age will present to the Department of Military Science and Tactics a petition, on the prescribed form, for such exemption. Pending action on his petition the student will enroll in the courses prescribed for his year and enter upon the work of such courses. 1A. Military Art (Practical).

UPPER DIVISION COURSES The upper division or advanced courses are prescribed for such thirdyear and fourth-year students as have completed the basic courses and elect to continue their military training and who are appointed officers or non-commissioned officers of University Cadets. Any member of the senior division (of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps) who has completed two academic years of service in that division, who has been selected for further military training by the president of the institution and the professor of military science and tactics, and who executes the following written agreement, will be entitled, while not subsisted in kind, to the commutation of subsistence fixed by the Secretary of War in accordance with law: 191.... In consideration of commutation of subsistence to be furnished me in accordance with law, I hereby agree to continue in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps during the remainder of my course in (Institution) to devote five hours per week during such period to the military training prescribed, and to pursue the courses of camp training during such period, prescribed by the Secretary of War. Witness: The training camps referred to in the preceding paragraph are the two to be held during the summer vacation periods, following the student's third-year and fourth-year service in the unit. The United States furnishes field uniforms, transportation and subsistence for students attending the training camps. |
