"It is interesting to note the names of these institutions. Many of the best known colleges in the land are on the list. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Leland Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Pennsylvania are there; Northwestern University and the College of the City of New York are included. Nearly every state university in the country is on the list, including such famous ones as the University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan. University of Minnesota, Ohio State University and others. Among smaller colleges of high standing are Rutgers, Lehigh, Lafayette, Georgetown, Boston University, and Western Reserve. The number includes many technical institutes, and practically all of the agricultural colleges. There is a large sprinkling of denominational and semi-denominational schools. In all of these colleges and universities military training is now an accepted reality.

"A large part of military training, including C. M. T. C., is sold to the public or to the college student by much talk about its being training for citizenship. It is better psychology to call it that than to say that it is training for war. General Pershing remarked that it must be popularized by all available methods."

Colonel Browning Expresses His Views

In commenting upon parts of the foregoing article. Colonel Browning yesterday said:

"It is to make soldiers that we are giving military training, but soldiers in the sense that we consider them in this country. The main function of the military man is to keep out of war. Here at Harvard we have no drill, no compulsory military training. We teach a man purely theoretically the science of war. We teach him to be a good citizen. In fact some college courses formerly were used in the military department to teach military history.

"In this country today a military force is retained which is barely enough to keep internal peace and protect the country against external aggression. The militant spirit is not taught but the qualities of best citizenship are instilled.

Compares Training to Inoculation

"In Germany, of course, the soldier predominates. The Kaiser was their greatest soldier. Yet here in our country a soldier must resign from his post if he is to assume an executive position in the government.

"To sum up the whole, military training in this country gives protection against war, and is the only protection, just as inoculation is the only known protection against some contagious diseases."
