PLYING CORPS MEETS TONIGHT

Frazier Curtis to Address Prospective Aviators in Lower Massachusetts at 6.45 o'clock.

The first meeting of the University Flying Corps will be held in Lower Massachusetts this evening at 6.45 o'clock. Frazier Curtis '98 will speak on the object and plans of the Flying Corps, and H. H. Metcalf '17 will outline the under taking from an undergraduate point of view. W. H. Meeker '17 will preside. The meeting will be held at 6.45 in order not to interfere with either the regimental lecture or the Non-Commissioned Officers' School.

It has been found necessary to limit the size of the Flying Corps to 100 men, but others may sign up and will be placed on a waiting list.

In order to facilitate a complete organization of the Corps, it is essential that prospective members fill out the forms at Leavitt & Peirce's.

Arrangements are under way for se- curing a room in Cambridge to serve as Corps Headquarters. This room will also be used as a reference room in which the work of military flying corps may be studied in a practical way. Aeronautical journals of the United States, France, and England will be kept on file, as well as standard works on aviation.

The primary object of the Corps is to start a training school for military aviators. As the best school of this sort is maintained by the French Army at Pau, it is planned to model this one directly along those lines.
