Nearly a third of the replies of Harvard Alumni to a poll recently conducted by the New England Flying Cadet Committee indicated strong graduate support of the government's "keep 'em flying" campaign.
Numerous queries were recived concerning the procedure of becoming a Flying Cadet, with many of the responses from medical students, married men, and a large number of men who are already in the service. Even some of this group showed interest in the possibility of becoming air cadets.

Men with poor eyesight learned that they might be admitted to the non-flying section of the Air Force.
