Leaving behind three years of service in the post of Acting Adjutant and Executive to the Harvard ROTC, Lt. Colonel Morton Smith has taken over the duties of head of Army Specialized Training for all New England, he revealed in a statement last night.

In his new role, Col. Smith will be in charge of the selection of colleges to teach specialized courses, the number of men who will be accepted to take these courses, and the courses to be taught at each college.

Captain Marshall Succeeds

Succeeding Col. Smith as Acting Adjutant and Executive is Captain Andrew Marshall, Jr. and assuming the post of Assistant Adjutant will be Captain Nelson Miles. Both men have been members of the Mil. Sci. staff while Lieutenant Chester T. Corse, who last June graduated from Yale, has been added to fill out the roster.

In his three years here, Col. Smith has served under four different Professors of Military Science and Tactics, recently witnessing the replacement of Colonel Francis A. Doniat, who left to take command of the War Manpower Commission for a large sector of the Middle West, with Colonel William S. Wood.

Col. Wood will also be at the head of AST at Harvard as soon as the plan is set in motion here.
