to introduce actual experience with the sort of work studied in the

Under the leadership of Captain
Davidson, who stas detached this
week from his duties as Comman-
dant prior to taking a five-months
course in the Naval War College,
the NRO~TC has built up morale
and eithusiasm. Under his suc-
cessor, Captain Richard Cassidy,
U.S.N., the NROTC at /ichigan
will continue with full vigor its
program of training students for
active duty with the fleet.
Just what does that program
fnvolve? On the curricular side, a
four year course, including the
study of subjects such as naval cus-
toms and traditions,. communica-I
tions,ordnance and gunnery, and
navigation.
Add to that an hour a week of
drill, supervised by the officers sta-

But more important than the
sciolastic or the drill aspect of
the corps is the intangible qualities
it tries to develop in future offi-

by cadets in the extra-curricular

such as the rifle team, the "Pe-

unit, and above all in the work
done by the student officers of the

tant parts of the training pro-
