AND TACTICS ———_ d At NZ iF FUSLISHED MONTHY BY THE VNIVERSITY OF UTAH-SALT LAKE CITY R.Q. T. C at the University of Utah THE recent Worid War has taught the imperative need for a large number of trained officers in the United States Army, and in order to meet any future emergency the War Depart- ment has established in many of the larger colleges and uni- versities throughout the United States, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, and the University of Utah has requested and has been designated by the War Department as one of the insti.utions at which this training will be offered. The course will cover a period of four years, and has for its object the qualifying of college men to become officers of the United States Army in time of war. A student completing the course satisfactorily will be offered by the President of the United States a commission as a Second Lieutenant, United States Reserve Corps. The course at this university is ELEC- TIVE and a student may have the choice of training in the field artillery arm or the infantry arm; and to efficiently carry on ai 83-inch Field Gun and Artillery Tractor at the Big “U’’ on the Wasatch this instruction, the War Department has detailed to the Uni- versity five field artillery officers and one infan‘ry officer of experience, as well as a number of non-commissioned officers. The work throughout the college year will be almost entirely theoretical in the class rooms, the practical work being only enough to illustrate and to better bring out the theory. PHYSICAL TRAINING FEATURED. Physical training is required throughout the academic year, this training to consist of calisthenics, gymnastics, swim- ming, fencing, athletics, equitation and horsemanship... One summer camp of six weeks’ duration will be required during the four years, and at this camp the practical application of the theoretical work had in the class room will be the all im- portant thing. This camp will be of no financial expense to the student. Over Clean Three hours a week is required for theoretical work, and the University gives the same credit for the course in Military Science and Tactics as is given for the other elective courses. The subjects of study that will come under the field artillery training will be as follows: Ordnance and Gunnery. Administration. The Field Artillery Horse, Gas Engines, Trucks and Tractors. Military Law. Mapping. Conduct of Fire. Minor Tactics and Map Maneuvers. Military History and Policy of the United States. Principles of Military Strategy. Equitation and Horsemanship. Physical Training in its Varied Forms. Practical Instruction at Summer Camp. The War Department has already sent to the University field guns of different calibers, artillery harness and saddle equipment, tractors, fire control instruments, mapping equip- ment, and complete telephone and radio equipment. The course will be so varied and flexible as to make it not only of educational value to the student, but also interesting, and will give him a great deal of aid in other courses that he may be pursuing. This is particularly true of the student who elects an Engineering course. A Gun Squad in Action In Fine Fettle SADDLE AND DRAFT HORSES. Arrangements are being made for stabling and caring for the draft and saddle horses that will be used, and the equita- tion and artillery driving will no doubt be one of the attrac- tive, interesting and health-building features of the course. The study of the gasoline artillery tractor, four of which are now on the ground, as well as of trucks as applied to artillery transportation, will also be of invaluable use to the student.

Uncle Sam Can Go Anywhere —. STUDENTS NOT MEMBERS OF ARMY. It must be understood that a student taking the R. O. T. C. course is in no way a member of the United States Army, and is on exactly the same status as any other student in attend- ance at the University, with the exception that he is drawing pay for pursuing this course during his junior and senior year. The Infantry course will comprise such studies as will equip a student to become an efficient officer in the Infantry arm of the United States Reserve Corps. Students will not be required to wear uniforms in class rooms or on the campus, except for equitation, nor will mili- _tary formations be required. The wearing of uniforms and the military formation will be restricted to summer encampments. Further and more minute details may be had by applying to the Registrar, University of Utah.
