Forty-two graduates of the Quartermaster ROTC Unit of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration were commissioned at New Orleans Wednesday as second lieutenants and assigned to duty in the Transportation Corps.

Fortified with military training received on Soldier Field and introduced to wartime problems in transportation through special courses recently instituted at the Business School, the ROTC graduates entered last June the Transportation Corps Officer Candidate School at New Orleans. The only QCS in the country operated by the Transportation Corps, it is under the jurisdiction of the New Orleans Port of Embarkation, Colonel Fremont B. Hodson, commanding.

The Transportation Corps Officer Candidate School is devoted largely to instruction in rail, water, and highway operations. In addition to technical instruction in transportation subjects great stress is placed upon military tactics and the development of qualities of leadership in handling troops.
