THE JEFFERSONIAN if if T Much success was attained in se- curing the co-operation and favor- able attitude of employers throughout the Corps Area. The question of developing this favorable attitude towards the CIVITC on the part of the employers is very largely to be credited to the work ofthe Corps Area Aide and of the State Aides in their respective states. Co-operation on the part of the employers took the form of giving extra leave with- out pay, extra leave with part pay, ' and extra leave' with full pay. Ap- proximately 500 commercial concerns made concessions in this manner and 700 candidates attended the CMT Camps in the Sixth Corps Area under some special concession with reference to leave or pay. Much interest was aroused among the candidates at the CIVIT Camps in the Corps Area by the announcement of college scholarships open for award to the most promising young men in the CMTC. The following scholarships were awarded at the CMT Camps in the Sixth Corps Area: University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, Max Mason, President, one scholarship, value 327000. DePaul University, Chicago, Ill- inois, Very Rev. Thomas F. Levan, President, one scholarship. Wheaton 'College,Wheaton, Illinois, J. M. Weaver, Treasurer, two scholar- ships.
