RMY ROTC training was established at the University of New Hampshire in 1893. The present form of this train- ing, prescribed by the National Defense Act of 1916, is currently conducted in most American colleges and universities. The program is integrated with the regular University schedule so that students may qualify not only for their aca- demic degrees, but also for reserve commissions in the U. S. Army as second lieutenants. The Army ROTC unit at UNH is composed of two im- portant combat branches, Infantry and Anti-Aircraft Artillery. Thousands of UNH students have undergone this training. The Army ROTC program is also a major source to the government of regular army appointments. Ten members of the present senior class have been offered regular army com- missions as second lieutenants. Those accepting their com- missions will start a career on equal footing with graduates of West Point. LT. COL. TROY A. BARKE11 20 l I'lfl IQQ

3 -1 Ll' g0l Ce HE Air Force ROTC program at the University of New Hampshire is relatively new, having been initiated in the fall of 1946. At that time new curricula applicable to the Air Force mission were put into use. Under the expanded program of the Air Force some adjust- ments in AFROTC courses have been made. Emphasis has been placed on the broader use of liberal arts education as a prerequisite for further training in the Air Force, both as a means to widen the base from which to obtain officer personnel and to assure that leadership and management abilities are not sacrificed to technical experience. The AFROTC program of instruction is integrated with the regular University schedule to permit the student to receive academic credit for the military courses taken while qualifying for a reserve commission in the United States Air Force.
