To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
I have just received a copy of your edition of February 13 in which you have a special dispatch from New Haven in regard to the Yale Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Permit me to call your attention to one or two corrections which I beg you to give publicity in order to correct what will be a very false impression.
No announcement has ever been made by university authorities that those who complete the instruction offered in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps will be immediately commissioned in the Field Artillery division of the Officers' Reserve Corps. To the best of our knowledge, nothing of the sort is contemplated by the War Department. I also call to your attention the fact that the Reserve Officers' Training Corps work is a four-year course for all men who do not reach their 21st birthday, and consequently the draft age, before their senior year.
Trusting that you will correct these errors, I am Yours truly, REGINALD FIELD, Captain, F. A., N. A., Commandant.
