The aviation section of the Signal Officers' Reserve Corps is the corp d'elite of our army, all right.

Note that last word. You are passed at once on a college diploma if the physical tests are met, but, lacking a college record, you must have a thorough knowledge of internal combustion engines, the difference between tractor and pusher types of airplanes, between four-cycle and two-cycle motors--all this, notwithstanding the fact that the collegian gets by regardless of whether he knows a motor from a wheel barrow.
