FREE TUITION
FOR SOLDIERS
G. W. University Makes Of

Not only will each members tui-
ton be paid by the government, put
each student will receive the pay OF
a private, will be uniformed ana
equipped, and will be furnished free
housing and subsistence. The sole
expense of obtaining an education
will be the cost of the books.
Students should register at the
university in the regular manner
and begin their studies when the
institution opens on September 20.
II they have not already registered
under the draft and II they are
within the draft ages, they should
do so today. About the first OF
October those students who have
signified their intention of Joining
the unit will voluntarily be fnduct-
ed into the army. assigned to fuli
active duty.
Under Army Discipline.
Members OF the unit will be under
the strictest military discipline and
viii be compelled to live in the quar-
ters furnished by the university and
approved by the War. Department.
The students will be given theoretical
and practical military instruction,
physical training, and training in
subjects allied to the war. From time
to time, as the needs of the service
demand, students will be classified
and assigned in the following ways:
Sent to training camps as officer
candidates or technical experts. such
as engineers. chemists, or doctors;
sent to a non-commissioned officers
school; retained at the university
for further intensive technical work;
assigned to the vocational training
section OF the corps for technical
training of military value; or sent TO
cantonment for duty with the
troops as a private.
under this plan II Is impossible to
forecast how long a student will be
permitted to remain at the university.

aptitude and also upon the demands
OF the service. AS a general rule.
students will not be retained after
others of their general age have been
transferred. although there will be
many exceptions in the case of stud
ents assigned to intensive technical
work of military value. To keep the
university unit at full strength,
vacancies will be filled by admission
of new students from high schools
and by the transferring of men from
the depot brigades of nearby camps.
