The report gives the back
of the ROTC program b•
tionally and at the Unive
also gives current Univers'
icy on ROTC and the p
military instruction in a
education.
ROTC is required at
University centers beca
majority of students who
the centers usually come
main campus
. as sophom
juniors.
In 1955, the provost, in : letter
to the commanding gener 1, Sec
ond U.S. Army, wrote: " 'e try
very hard to give them at the
centers the advantages the would
have received had they b-.:un on
the main campus. The -quire
ment that all male stude , is re
ceive basic military train ng has
long been a tradition at e Uni
versity, one which the Un versity
defended in the 1930's hen it
was urged to• accommodate its
policy to the prevailing spirit of
pacifism. We are anxious to pre
serve this tradition at our centers
as well as- on the main campus."
The report states that the
ROTC programs at the Uni- •
versity, as presently carried out
by each of the three services.
are designed to be in full com
pliance with the objective for
educating students. This objec
tive is "to contribute to the
education of the whole person,
so that he may be effective as
an individual, as a participating
member of_ his family, as a
member of his profession, and
as a person responsible to his
community, his nation and to
mankind."
The ROTC instruction contri
butes, the report says, to the stu
dents' understanding of the privi
leges and responsibilities of citi
zenship.
"University graduates are ex
pected to be leaders in civilian
life." the report says.
"The ROTC student is offered
an opportunity to learn how to
exercise effectively the leadership
expected of a university graduate.
Standards for the ROTC program
are such that instruction presents
the same challenge to the stu
dents that is found in academic
subjects of equivalent level," the
report concludes.
