SECRETARY BAKERS
COLLEGE RULING.

Secretary Newton d. Baker has
sent a letter to Dr.. Fell, which means
in effect that beginning next FAN, all
students of Is years or more, unless
specifically excused, will be enlisted
in the service of the United States
army, but will be simply detailed 'in-
active" for study and instruction
They will be subject for active service,
only in case of great national need"
The policy of the government is to
recognize, as a great military asset
the large body of young men in col
Iege and to prevent unnecessary and
wasteful depletion of the college en-
rolment by Offering the students a
definite and military status in con-
nection with the Reserve officers
Training Corps.
It viii have the advantage of keep
ing great many young men as po-
tential officers stock in college and
periodically occupied, until such time
as they are matured.
In consequence most of the mem
bers of the Sophomore and Junior
Glasses are enrolling as members of
the Students Training Camp, which
opens the Bird of June and will be
maintained for six weeks.
Already about thirty of the gradu-
ating class have been designated for
the 4th Officers Training Camp, which
opens tomorrow, May 18TH, and they
are leaving college today
