The War Department, through the offices of the Chief of Ordnance and the Quartermaster General, has issued urgent requests for the continuance of the special courses of training for army supply and storage service now being given by several of the leading schools of business administration, and to which the Tuck School was one of the first to devote its facilities.
In accordance with these requests, the Tuck School announces a third session of the Military Stores School to open on August 20th and to continue for six weeks. If the demand for men trained for such service continues, the sessions will be repeated through the next college year. Advices from both the Ordnance and Quartermaster Departments indicate that these arms of the service will need as large a number of men as can be trained in the stores schools during the next year.
The Tuck School will soon issue a circular descriptive of the requirements for admission to the third session, the courses of study to be given, and the military status of men completing the course. Blank applications for admission will be enclosed with the circulars. Inquiries should be addressed to The Amos Tuck School, Dartmouth College.
In view of the fact that commissions in the Reserve Officers' Corps of both the Ordnance and Quartermaster Departments are likely soon to be available only to men who have served in the Enlisted Reserve Corps of these departments, the opportunity to enter the service through the Military Stores Schools seems especially attractive. Men qualified by experience and aptitude are thus assured of an opportunity to equip themselves for a service no less vital to the winning of the war than service in the line. The large number of Dartmouth men who have already entered the Army through the first and second sessions of the Stores School, and the gratifying reports of the work they are doing, can safely be taken as indications that still larger numbers will choose to enter the service of the country under the guidance and with the aid of their Alma Mater.
