THE OPENING of the Spring Term finds us with approximately 270 students taking the Supply Corps Candidates curriculum. These men are now distributed between the fourth, fifth and sixth terms of the program. For the oldest group this term constitutes the last step in the road before they enter the Supply Corps Schools at Harvard. At Harvard they will receive four months' training by naval officers and will specialize in the rules and regulations, principles and procedures of the Supply Corps.
The Supply Corps Candidates School will not be immediately affected by the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Program scheduled to begin in July of this year, since those men now in the Supply curriculum will be permitted to finish this curriculum. Therefore, we shall be offering the Supply Corps curriculum under V-12 through March of 1946.
