The Department of Military Science and Tactics offers young men at the University of Maine a four-year course leading to a commis- sion in the Reserve and perhaps in the Regular Army. Today, the training program is essential in preparing college students for the responsible duties of leadership as Well as making easier the adjustment to military life. The first two years or the Basic Course is com- pulsory for all non-veteran students. Entrance into the Advanced Course requires passage of a physical examination, better than average scho- lastic standing, and approval by the R.O.T.C. staff. An essential aspect of the Advanced Military Course is the six week summer camp that all candidates for a commission must attend. The summer camp provides regular army experi- ence on the Held. With a rigorous six weeks of training, the candidate for a commission is bet- ter able to appreciate the duties and responsi- bilities of ofiicer life in the Army. Cor. Lrisuri j.
