The combat problems are designed to introduce actual experience with the sort of work studied in the classroom.

( Cox? t l ". .e i from Wage 1) 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.

The responsibility sholdered by cadets in the extra-curricular side of the NROTC, in activities such as the rifle team, the "Pe- lorus," student publication of the unit, and above all in the work done by the student officers of the corps, is one of the most impor- tant parts of the training pro- gram, the officers emphasize.
