Serves Double Purpose
The purposes of the Student Army

men of the country; secondly, to
q prevent unnecessary and wasteful lie
pletion of the colleges through indis
criminate volunteering, by Offering to
the students a definite and immediate
military status"

Training Corps by voluntary induction.
He thereby becomes a member Of the
United States Army; but he will be
on furlough status, subject to the call
Of the President at any time for active
service should the necessity arise. He
will be provided with uniform and
equipment, but will not receive paw.
Like other members Of the army, he
is subject to military discipline until
the end of the war.
