student in the Reserve Officers Train.
ing Corps at an institution where he
has completed his school year for the
value of his uniform, when at the
beginning of the next school year he
changes schools, was presented to the
War Department for consideration.

pleted school year at one institution !

other institution, and the institution |
which he left is no longer financially |
bound to the Government for the COM
value of the uniform, that |
it is to the interest of the Govern |
ment and the student for him to con.
tinue to wear his uniform. if possible, |
at the second institution if it is feast. |
BILE to permit him to do so and that |
the regulation involved does not pre-. |
vent such use of the uniform.
