In order to gain practical experience, students in the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps are this week making training trips in the recently built U. S. destroyer Trippe.

The Trippe was launched on November 1, and is now making its "shakedown" crises to determine whether or not it is yet fit for actual service.

The Naval Science students receive training in work on the bridge, on deck, at the guns, and in the engine room on each trip, as the destroyer sails out past Cape Ann and back. Trips will be held today and tomorrow.

On each trip ten men from Harvard will sail, making a total of 50 men of the Corps here who will have had some training aboard ship.
