★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ COMMANDER EDWARD J. HANNAH. USNR Commanding Officer NAVAL LIEUTENANT JAMES A. McCLINTOCK. USNR Executive Officer The past year at Villanova has seen the neces- sities of war cause many changes in the Naval Administration of the College. Officers and mem- bers of the Ship's Company of the previous year have been transferred and new faces in new positions have appeared around the Navy Office. I In his second year as Commanding Officer of the Villanova College V-12 Unit, Commander Edward Hannah, USNR, has experienced many changes in the officers and enlisted men under him for the operation of the unit. In April, Cap- tain Robert L. Morgan, USMCR. a member of the original military staff here, took over the duties of Executive Officer. Officer in charge of the Marine Detachment since July, 1943, Captain Morgan succeeded Lieutenant James A. McClin- tock, USNR, who came to Villanova as Executive Officer in April, 1944, shortly after the arrival of Commander Hannah. At this time the remaining officers at the sta- tion included Lieutenant Stanley J. Kuffel, USNR, as Athletic and Supply Officer and Lieutenant Carl E. Lorenz, USNR, who assumed duties as Medical Officer in November when he relieved Lieutenant L. J. Graham, USNR. At the start of the July semester Villanova again experienced sweeping changes in its Naval Ad- ministrative heads as it did in April, 1944. With the transfer of Captain Morgan to other duty. Lieutenant Stanley Kuffel was appointed Execu- tive Officer of the Unit. At the same time another newcomer to the campus assumed his duties at Villanova. He is Captain Roger S. Toussaint, USMCR, new head of the Marine trainees. In May the Navy Department announced that it planned to establish a unit of the Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps on the campus. Plans have been made and the official NROTC unit begins operation at Villanova in November. However, in order to hasten the progress of future candidates now in the V-12, courses in Naval pol- icy and tactics started at the beginning of the July semester. For the teaching of these courses two new Naval officers have been assigned to the college. These officers are Lieutenant V. A. Miles, USNR, and Lieutenant N. Craig, USNR. 20
