Of the 80 men selected from the 500 applicants for admission to the Massachusetts School for Naval Air Service at Squantum, 30 are members of the University, who, if they pass the necessary physical examination, will enter in May. The selections were made by lot after a certain amount of preliminary selections were made, only 80 men being needed. Should any of them fail to pass the required physical tests their places will be filled by the next in order on the drawing list. Of those rejected one-half was on account of defective eyesight or lack of mathematical training.
The personnel at Squantum will consist of a commandant, three instructors in flying, an aviation ensign, a medical officer, 18 machinists, a machinist's instructor, and about 25 other men who will be in the pay of the Government.
