Army Takes Over U.S. Universities

The doors of America's great universities swing open to the Army. At Yale University, one of the biggest and oldest, 3,000 officer cadets come to complete their training for the Army Air Force. Today, America's halls of learning resound to the tread of marching feet. Young men are turning from the studies of the liberal arts to become students of war. Army teachers replace head masters in cap and gown. "Machine Guns Have No Conscience" says the writing on the blackboard. Words these future lieutenants may well remember. The huge dining hall of Yale University now turned into a super mess hall for the Army.

No less eager to do their bit American college women adopt the same physical training program the Army prescribes for its men. For more rigid exercise and body building they practice on a snow covered obstacle course. Purely recreational sports are discouraged while the country is at war. Their job is to gain strength and health for the duties they will be called on to perform.
