MAJOR CARPENTER THE RY The smiling, good-natured friend of everyone was Major Carpenter, head of the Army Air Corps Col- lege Detachment stationed at the University. The Major received his M.A. degree in Physical Education from the University of Illinois in 1937, Where he won several honors as a member of the Varsity wrestling team. Major Carpenter has covered a lot of country while in various positions. First, he held teaching- fellowships at New York University, Albian College, and taught for a short time in Sitka, Alaska. Since Page Z7 1 MAJOR SMITH he has been in the Army, Major Carpenter has been stationed at Ellington, Albuquerque, Midland, and Perrin Fields as Adjutant of Cadet Attachments. He came to Missouri from Albian College, Michigan, and has now been transferred to another location. Major Smith, a member of Phi Gamma Delta, from Michigan University succeeded Major Carpen- ter as Commanding Officer but received his transfer too soon to have his vital statistics appear on this page.

COL. A. MCINTYRE THE ARMY AN Colonel McIntyre QBrig. Gen. Retiredj F.A. and his staff have had to train their students under the new concentrated program more thoroughly than ever before. Despite this extreme pressure, they have done a splendid job. The responsibility of turning out ofiicer-candi- date material of high caliber is the duty of the oflicers and enlisted men of the Military Department. This year the job has been speeded up even to the point of some students having to double up on their cur- riculum. Columbia, this year, has become a veritable army camp, with Air Corps students, A.S.T.P. students and advanced R.O.T.C. men. The advanced military students at one time re- ceived a six-weeksf training period at Fort Leonard Wood during the summers. The Military department, since the war, has become one of the most popular departments in the University. In past years the enrollment of military careerists was small, but now every male student in the University would give his eye teeth to be a cadet officer. Formerly the program at the University was split into two divisions-a mechanized unit and a horse-drawn unit in the iield artillery. Starting two years ago, all students were given instructions in both. Page 26
