of others. As he wears the uniform
of his organization, he must be a gen-
tleman, first, last, and all the time,
or he will disgrace his friends as well
as himself. He must-love his country
and serve it with a single mind, even
to death. Not a bad platform for a
young college man to learn, is it?
Of the U. S. army officials who are
cordially approving and aiding mili-
tary training in universities, Dean
Lloyd says: "The suspicion is quite un-
avoidable that their approval is on
half-a-loaf-is - better - than - no-bread
grounds." Better than suspicion is
a study of the facts. The purpose of
military instruction in universities is
set forth in General Orders No. 70, sec.
25, 1913, as follows:
"The main object of the military in-
struction given at civil educational
institutions having army officers as
professors of military science and tac-
tics will be to qualify students who
enter the military departments of such
institutions to be company officers of
infantry,; volunteers or militia."
Do the universities accomplish what
is expected of them? I shall take the
case of our sister university in the
state of Illinois, whose system of train-
ing is practically that which it has
been proposed to introduce at the
University of Michigan. - The report
upon the last inspection by the In-
spector-General's Department contains
the following statement: "The mili-
tary instrnction is of such extent and
thoroughness in the case of cadet of-
ficers, as to qualify the average cadet
as a lieutenant of volunteers." The
professor of military science at the
University of Illinois, Major F. D.
Webster, U. S. A., in his report to
President James, comments upon this
report as follows: "The above report
indicates that we are turning out men
qualified to become officers of the vol-
unteer army in case of emergency, and
are doing our part to build up a re-
serve force."
The University of Illinois graduated
33 of this class in 1915,and will grad-
uate 44 in 1916. Michigan with her
three regiments, as against the two at
Illinois, should supply 66 commission-
ed officers each year for the United
States volunteers, besides the much
larger body qualified for non-commis-
sioned rank and privates with train-
ing.
Testimony to the high value placed
upon university military training by
officials of the United States army
when the training is ably conducted,
is contained in the following letter
which I am permitted to publish:
Headquarters, Eastern Department,
Governors Island, May 11, 1915.
President E. J. James,
University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign, Ill.
Dear Sir:
I wish to express to you my appre-
ciation of the splendid work which is
being done under your direction at the
University of Illinois in the way of
preparing the youth of our country to
lischarge not only their civil, but also
their military obligations. I have never
been more interested anywhere than
with the work which you are doing
and the wisdom and foresight with
which expenditures have been made
with an eye to the future. If every
Land Grant college had proceeded
with equal sincerity and loyalty to the
spirit of the Endowment act, with its
obligation for military training, we
should be far better prepared than we
are for national defense in the way
of trained men, and our people would
have a much fuller conception of their
abligations to the state from the sol-
:ier standpoint than at present.
I sincerely hope you will continue to
:eceive the support and approval of
the state authorities in the future, as
you have in the past, and that the
great university in your charge will
continue to show the universities of
sister states what can be done by well
irected effort.
It was an inspiring sight to see the
two regiments, and I feel convinced
that every man who has had military
training will leave the university all
the better for it, riot only physically,
but morally and from the standpoint
of a better appreciation of the duties
of citizenship.
Very truly yours,
(Signed)
MAJ.-GEN. LEONARD WOOD.

tary training is in reality a much
broader one. University men in case
of a long coitinued general war are as
a class certain to arrive at positions
of command, whether they have orig-
inally had military training or not. As
a high official of the army says:
"We realize 'that the best type of
our young men are to be found in our
colleges and universities and an enor-
mous influence they will carry into
public life. They are, or will be, na-
tural leaders, politically in time of
peace, and comnnianders of men in time
of war. In the former capacity a lack
of proper information as to our mil-
itary history, policy and present sys-
tem, certainly renders them incapable
of intelligently voting on these ques-
tions or shaping the opinion of others.
"In the latter capacity, as command-
ers of our citizen soldiery in time of
sudden war without training and ne-
cessary military education, they would
be the unwitting murderers of their
men. They would learn their business
ate a cruel cost in lives, to say the
least.
"These students are physically, men-
tally and morally good material for
officers and such as desire or have a
natural bent for the profession of
arms, having duly qualified, should re-
ceive a definite status in the military
system of the country."
Dean Lloyd argues that the function
of training for soldiers belongs nor-
mally to the government, as all must
agree; and in conclusion he declares,
"Soldiers or citizens who expect war
or feel the danger of war should be,
or quickly become, sufficiently rational
and intelligent, say even academic, to
call for effective, centralized, govern-
mental preparation." The local branch
of the National Security League, of
which Dean Lloyd is a distinguished
member, has recently been organized
for no other purpose than the one he
has indicated. Last Saturday at the
first national convention of the organ-
ization, no less than 200 delegates
from all parts of the country assem-
bled in Chicago for the purpose of
determining the definite policy of the
organization. This assembly is likely
to become notable by reason of the
eminence in public life of many of the
delegates, whose number included no
less than three ex-Secretaries of War
of the United States. There was abso-
lute unanimity that the country is in
danger of invasion by a foreign power,
and that it is now almost helpless to
defend itself. A resolution was pass-
ed calling upon the President of the
United States to immediately make
public the recommendations of the
army experts upon measures of na-
tional defense, with which the Presi-
dent's announced program is under-
stood to be widely at variance.
If the committee of the university
senate and the National Security
League both favor immediate action
by Congress to supply the elements of
national defense, they none the less
realize that when legislative action
has been taken there remain enormous
difficulties. No one of these- will be
more serious than that of suplying
officers to the enlarged army. The
most hopeful quarter in which to look
for material is the higher institutions

of learning, and there could be no
more striking evidence of the high
value which War Department officials
place upon military training in univer-
sities, than is found in the recom-
mendations 6f Mr. Secretary Garrison.
Thrugh the shortage of army officers
is serious and increases yearly, Mr.
Garrison recommends that existing{
legislation be so modified as to permit
the detail of one commissioned officer
for each 400 students in training at
universities as against one officer for
each institution as now required by
law.
