Abstract :
With the demands of a mechanical war and of steadily growing armed forces, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are in need of a flow into their respective services of large numbers of young men who require specialized, educational, technical training. Their own facilities of teaching staff and equipment are not sufficient for these needs. The colleges and universities will have such facilities available. Consequently the armed services together have formulated plans to utilize for these needs to the maximum practicable extent the resources of these colleges and universities. In formulating these plans, they have had the benefit of fruitful consultation with many educators, and particularly the staff of the War Manpower Commission, a committee of the American Council on Education, and the Navy Advisory Council on Education. In the administration of these plans, the Army and Navy are counting on further assistance from the same sources.
