The Naval Supply Corps, whose school is located as an adjunct of the Harvard Business School, is now seeking to fill a quota of 350 men from throughout the United States. University men wishing to enlist, who must be Seniors between 19 and 26 years of age and have 15-20 vision, should not apply at a recruiting station but instead should make a preliminary application at Harvard. These applications will be graded here and then referred to the Supply Corps headquarters, where final selections will be made.
As yet the Navy has not sent to the University any of these application blanks, but it will be announced when they are received, and when details for service in the Supply Corps have been ascertained.
Marine Corps Open to Sophomores
The Marine Corps is prepared to enlist even Sophomores, if they are over 18 years in age, Juniors over 19, and Seniors over 20, and probably will place them in the Marine Corps Reserve until their graduation. However, "the exigencies of the service may necessitate their being called to active duty before graduation." When inducted into the regular Marine Corps candidates will receive commissions as 2nd Lieutenants.
With openings for a large number of men to service airplanes or to enlist in either the Parachute Corps or the Ski Regiment, Army officials have issued a reminder that it is still possible for one to enlist voluntarily up to the date that he receives his orders for induction according to the Selective Service Act. Those who enlist may still choose among many branches of this service for the one which they prefer.
To complete the picture it has been announced by the Coast Guard that a college graduate who is a citizen and unmarried, between 20 and 30, may now become a commissioned officer in the United States Coast Guard Reserve after a four month's training course at the Academy in New London, Connecticut.
