UNIVERSITY --- NAVAL TRAINING - DIVISIO During the war years, qualitied otlicers were much in demand by the three services, especially the Navy. The Army had foreseen this emergency and had established an Uliliceids Training Corps in as many universities as possible across Canada. The Navy realized the soundness ol this scheme, and in I9-I3 it set up an experimental Uivision. This proved so successful that Naval authorities approached the heads ol' all the major universities in Canada. Sixteen ot them were granted permission to recruit and organize University Naval Training Divis- ions on their campuses. In I9-I6, the R. C. N. V. R. was emerged with the R. C, N. R. to form the R. C. N. tRj, and everyone was discharged lirom the lormer and re-attested to the latter. Representatives ol'Canadian universities met with Naval authorities and drew up a peace-time training program. A radical change tool: place in I9-It? when the seaman's uniform was replaced by a specially designed otlicer cadet's uniform, and each cadet was given otlicer's privileges. At the present time there are twelve hundred members enlisted in twenty-two University Naval Training Divisions from the University ot British Columbia in the Yvest, to St. Francis Xavier University in the East, and two new Divisions are expected to start in the tall. The Division on the St. Frances Xavier campus is still in its intiancy, but it has produced, and will continue to produce, otlicers who are as competent as those of any other university in Canada. The U. N. T. IJ. otliers a commission in the permanent ranks to any young man interested in a Naval career. Il' a career in the Navy is not desirable, then a Reserve commission is available to any graduate who has completed the necessary training. The U. N. T. D. is gradually becoming a part ollSt. Francis Xavier, and it is beinff recovnized 'ts 'ln excellent means tor the training ol' character and discip- D C, C C line which are invaluable assets to any student attending this University.
