...years and nine months of age or older who have had any considerable military training already, are advised to apply for admission to Plattsburg or the corresponding camp in their section of the country. Those who do not succeed, and all other men over 20 years old and physically fit, are strongly urged to enroll in the Harvard Corps; in the belief that, although to do so will not lead to a commission in three months, it will lay a foundation, theoretical and practical, that will fit for one in no long time thereafter."

...continued delay of the War Department in deciding whether Harvard will have a training camp it is no longer feasible for the eligible men in the R. O. T. C. to wait.

The case of those physically unfit to serve--75 percent. of the student body, says Dr. Sargent--is even more serious. However, it is not too late to mend...
...offers no opportunity for its students to conclude their year of study and to go at once into training. It is true that the study of law is such that it may not readily be broken off or curtailed. It is true that a lawyer's training does not fit him primarily, as does a doctor's, for military service. Yet those men who are studying law are competent by their character and ability, if not by their training, for military service. Their country needs their services. They are surely no less willing to fulfill their duty than undergraduates...
