Duty of Land Grant Colleges.

Land grant colleges should set an ex-
ample in patriotism. and the new ma =
tional defense act offers them q special
opportunity to do this. according to w.
NJ. Riggs. president of Clemson College.
South Carolina. With the recent rul-
ing of the War Department that every
such college shall require two years of
military training by students pursuing
courses of two years or longer, he
said. and with a well designed curric-
ulum, will have an end of sham
military training which, at some col
legeS has been little short of disgrace
full
That college curricula must be as
flexible and as little onerouS as the re-
qurementS of the officers reserve corps
permits was characterized as vitally
important for the ultimate success of
a citizens army by Prof. Edward Orton
of Ohio State University, who was
prominent in the work of framing the
Hay y-Chambelain bill. Maj. Andrew
Moses of the general staff of the War
College explained the regulations of the
War Department connected with the
putting into effect of the legislation
creating the corps and answered nu-
merous questions from the delegates
present.

MILITARY TRAINING

Reserve Officers.
OTHER TOPICS DISCUSSED

That the recently created reserve Of
ffcers' training corps will undoubtedly
furnish the United States with officers
of a broader culture and more varied
Intelligence than any country has ever
possessed. was the prophecy made by
President Guy Potter Benton of the
University of Vermont at the final gem
eral session of the convention of the
Association of American Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations at
the Willard Hotel this morning. The
question of the part to be played by
state universities and land grant col
leges in the formation of this corps
was the principal topic for discussion.
President Benton stated that military
training heretofore in colleges has been
perfunctory, perhaps. but never made
quate. and declared that with a proper
officers reserve corps the civil war
could have been ended in two years.
Any institution which feels that
drill on its campus is waste of time
and that the wearing of uniforms by
its students is humiliation ought to
be cut off from governmental financial
support he said.
