COLLEGE MEN AS ARMY AVIATORS

The following is taken from a letter addressed to the Secretary of the College.

The U. S. Army is now exerting every effort to develop an Aviation Service and the aim is to train college graduates at Government expense to become aviators and commission them as officers of the Aviation Section, Signal Officers Reserve Corps.

Steps are now being taken by the alumni of certain of the larger colleges to form separate aero squadrons for Princeton, Columbia and other college men and I believe Dartmouth can and should have a squadron second to none.

Alumni, seniors and possibly some juniors now in college who have the necessary physical and moral qualifications to rank as an officer of the U. S. Army, who desire to be of service to their country in time of need and to whom aviation appeals will be given an unusual opportunity to qualify as pilots and officers during the summer months.

I am particularly anxious that Dartmouth men should know and take first advantage of this opportunity. If the idea meets with favor among Dartmouth men no time should be lost in reaching the right men and getting their applications on file.
