tuLLETiNl WAR DEPARTMENT, }^o. ]. J Office of the Chief of Staff, Washington, March 25, 1914.. The following regulations and information concerning the [organization and establishment of the Students' Military Instruc- tion Camps (for students between the ages of 18 and 30 in universi- [ties, colleges, and the graduating class at high schools — and other [schools rated as such — or graduates of same) are approved and published for the information of all concerned. By order of the Secretary of War: Leonard Wood, Major General, Chief of Staff. 34029°— 14 — 1 28261U [Bull.1] 1^1^ STUDENTS' MILITARY INSTRUCTION CAMPS. 1. In view of the great success of the two experimental military camps of instruction for students of educational institutions held during the summer of 1913, and the great benefit derived to all con- cerned therefrom, four such camps will be established during the coming summer, viz : One at Asheville, N. C. , from July 6 to August 7, inclusive; one at Burlington, Vt., same dates; one at Luding- ton, Mich., same dates; and one at Monterey, Cal., from June 26 to July 31, inclusive. A fifth camp at Spokane, Wash., is under consideration, but has not yet been definitely decided upon. 2. The object of the camps is to give the young men of the country opportunity for a short course in military training, the bet- ter to fit them to discharge their military duty should their coun try- ever stand in need of their services. The summer vacation period is selected to enable students to attend with the least inconvenience and greatest instructional advantage. 3. In addition to the above patriotic motive there are to be considered the physical benefits to be derived (at less than the usual expense when away from home) from the active, healthful, outdoor life of a military camp. Such a change from the con- finement and mental strain of the scholastic year should prove a permanent benefit to the student. The mutually broadening influences of intimate association with students of other institu- tions and the opportunity for athletic contests, as well as the novelty of the experience itself, all tend to contribute variety and interest to the program. The student is certain to increase his business efficiency and hence his economic value through the habits thus acquired of discipline, obedience, self-control, order and command, and the study of organization and administration as exemplified in first- class modem armies. 4. The benefit of these camps to the Nation is that they foster a patriotic spirit, without which a nation soon loses its virility and falls into decay; they spread among the citizens of the country a more thorough knowledge of military history, military policy, and military needs, ^11 necesjs^'rv i^uhevcomplete education of a well- [Bull.l] equipped citizen in order that he may himself form just and true opinions on military topics. As a military asset these camps are of great value, since they afford the means of materially increasing the military reserve of the United States by instructing a class of educated men from ■which, in time of national emergency, would probably be drawn a large proportion of the volunteer commissioned officers, upon whose judgment and training at such a time the safety and even the lives of many of their fellow countrymen will largely depend. The ultimate object sought is not military aggrandizement, but to make provision, in some degree, to meet a vital need confronting us as a peaceful and unmilitary people, to the end that peace and prosperity may be preserved through the only safe precaution, viz, more thorough preparation and equipment to resist any effort to break such peace. 5. Only those with the qualifications stated on title-page will be allowed to attend. Applicants must be citizens of the United States or have declared their intention of so becoming. They must be of good moral char- acter, physically qualified, and of good standing in their classes. 6. Students must attend for the full period of five weeks, unless compelled by actual necessity to leave before that time. They must conform to the rules and regulations prescribed for the govern- ment of the camp, the commanding officer having authority to dis- continue their attendance or withhold certificate, or both, upon violation of such ordinances, 7. (a) Transportation. — Students will be required to pay their traveling expenses to and from the camp; this item is made as small as possible by selecting the several camp sites in as central a location as practicable, giving due consideration to average travel from the homes of those attending and to the advantages offered in the camp sites. (6) Subsistence. — ^Wholesome, healthful, and ample meals will be furnished at the rate of $3.50 a week, or $17.50 for the entire period. This amount must be presented upon arrival and includes payment of cooks, assistant cooks, waiters, and other expenditures not specifically enumerated elsewhere. These meals will be pre- pared by trained Army cooks and will be under the constant per- sonal supervision of an officer. (c) Clothing. — The uniform required will be 1 suit of cotton oUve drab uniform, 1 extra pair of breeches, 1 campaign hat with [Bull 1] distinctive hat cord, 1 pair leggins, and 2 cotton (or wool) olive drab colored shirts. These articles (except the hat cord) are similar to those pre- scribed for the Regular Army. If not possessed, they must be purchased by the students; they will cost from about $5 to $10, depending upon quality. To avoid delay in fitting at the camp, students should obtain the uniform in advance. This may be done either by communicating directly with Sigmund Eisner, Red Bank, N. J., who satisfactorily furnished uniforms for the last year's camps, or with any other military clothier. If not previ- ously provided, students must purchase uniforms from clothier upon arrival in camp. 8. (a) The Government will furnish, gratis, cots, blankets, tent- age, cooking outfits, a complete infantry equipment for each man, including rifle, bayonet, cartridge belt, canteen, shelter tent half, pole and pins, haversack, pack carrier, individual mess kit, knife, fork, spoon and cup, and other necessary articles of quartermaster and ordnance property, to be turned in at end of camp. All articles lost or broken will be paid for by the student. (6) Proper cooking and baking facilities, wagon transportation needed, the necessary personnel for instruction, organization and maintenance of the camp, hospital and medical care and sanita- tion, and, in short, everything necessary to the health and tending to the comfort and advancement of the students which lawfully can be furnished by the War Department will be jjrovided. (c) Such troops of the Regular Army as may be necessary, and which may be available for this purpose at the time of the camp, will attend and cooperate in the military instruction and in the different field maneuvers, exercises, and demonstrations. (d) The theoretical principles of tactics, including advance and rear guards, patrols, outposts, and combat, will be studied and explained in a series of informal talks, tactical walks, and war games conducted by selected competent officers. The practical application of the above will be carried out in the field by the students themselves and also in conjunction with the Regular troops, blank ammunition being used to make the exercises more realistic. (e) Military map making and road sketching will be explained and opportunities for practical work in that subject offered to those who desire it. [Bull. 1] (/) The proper handling and use of the rifle will be taught and experience given by means of gallery (or subcaliber) practice, and by actual firing with the service rifle and ammunition on the target range. To those students making the necessary qualifi- cations over the prescribed course the National Rifle Association of America offers its prescribed markmanship badges, and a trophy to be competed for by teams representing the different educational institutions. (g) Physical drill, marching, camping, tent pitching, making and breaking camp, loading and unloading wagons, camp expedi- ents, field cooking, camp sanitation, first aid to the injured, per- sonal hygiene, and the care of troops in the field will be taught by practice. (h) Informal talks by selected officers will be given on the fol- lowing subjects: Use and duties of the different arms and branches of the service (Infantry, Field Artillery, Cavalry, Engineers, Sig- nal Troops, and the Medical Corps); field fortification, including the laying out, constr action, and use of trenches; military bridge building; use of explosives; demolitions; the installation and operation of field lines of electrical information and the use of buzzers, field telephones, and radio telegraphic apparatus; signal flags, heliographs, and acetylene lanterns, and other apparatus used by Signal Corps organizations in the field; the tactical organi- zation of the miKtary forces of the United States, the reasons therefor, and comparison with that of foreign armies; the supply (food and material) of an army and the problems connected there- with; the psychology of war; the miUtary history of our country — not the illuminated school book versions of our victories merely, but the true versions, as taken from the official records, of our failures and defeats, as well as our successes and victories, with reasons therefor; our miUtary policy, past and present, the neces- sity for some sound, definite mihtary policy and the adoption thereof; and the present scheme of organization of the land forces of the United States as prepared by the General Staff of the Army and recommended by the War Department to Congress. (i) The schedule of instruction will include a practice march of several days' duration, in which, as nearly as possible, such actual campaign conditions of march, bivouac, and combat as the assumed situation would exact will be followed. (j) To each student who successfully completes the prescribed course of instruction a certificate will be issued and his name kept [Bull, 1] 6 on file in the War Department, with such remarks as to his degree of efficiency and recommendations as to his fitness for future com- mand as may be made by the officers in charge. 9. In return for the opportunities thus afforded students are expected to pursue earnestly the course of instruction prescribed. The course offered will be true military work, not play; only students who come to learn are desired. A correct understanding of the principles involved being considered of more importance, in the short time available for instruction, than the exercise itself, only that degree of precision in close order drill necessary to insure discipline will be insisted upon. Extended order drill and field exercises are considered most important. Work will be confined, as far as practicable, to the morning, leaving the afternoons and evenings, with due regard to proper supervision, at the disposal of the student for rest, athletic sports, and recreation, or for such other work or instruction he may desire and which can be given. 10. All companies will be commanded by a selected Regular Army officer, or officers, and will be aided by subaltern oflicers and noncommissioned officers selected from among the students themselves. The discipline exacted will be strict and just. Students will be on a cadet status; that is, treated with the courtesy due pros- pective ofiicers, but subject to all rules and regulations of the camp and to disciplinary measures for infractions thereof. 11. The greatest care has been exercised by the General Staff in the selection of these sites, in order that they fulfill not only the military requirements of a good camp, with suitable grounds for maneuver purposes, but that they are located in a healthful, cool, and pleasant climate and in a region in each section offering advan- tages desirable from the summer-outing standpoint, such as being on a lake, the seashore, or in the mountains. A very large attendance is expected at each camp this coming summer. 12. The idea has proved a most popular one, not only with the students themselves, but with their parents, many of whom have written congratulatory letters dwelling upon the benefits, physical and otherwise, derived by their sons from the last camp. This plan meets with the approval of all university and college authorities heard from on the subject, among whom are the heads of the majority of the larger educational institutions in the country. The students attending camp during the summer of 1913 formed an organization, for which they adopted the name Society of the [Bull. 1] National Reserve Corps of the United States, and chose President H. S. Drinker, of Lehigh University, president, and the following- named representative college heads to act as an advisory committee of the organization. Their statement in regard to the camps follows: Statement of the Advisory Committee. After careful inquirj^ regarding the organization and manage- ment of the camps of instruction for college students, established by the Secretary of War in the summer of 1913, we take pleasure in certifying to their excellence. The military instruction was thorough. The discipline was strict; but the work was so well arranged that it caused enjoyment rather than hardship. The food, sanitation, and medical care were good, and the lessons received by the students in these mat- ters were scarcely less valuable than the military instruction itself. We commend these camps to the attention of college authorities as a most important adjunct to the educational system of the United States, furnishing the student a healthful and profitable summer course at moderate expense.

President Woodrow Wilson, under date of September 22, 1913, made the following statement: The White House, Washington, September 22, 191S. I am very much interested in the successful working out of the idea of these college camps. I believe the students attending will derive not only a great deal of physical benefit from the healthful, open-air life, but also that they will benefit from the discipline, habits of regularity, and the knowledge of personal and camp sani- tation which the experience in camp will give them. IBuU. 1] The camps will also tend to disseminate sound information con- cerning our military history and the present policy of the Govern- ment in military matters, in addition to giving the young men them- selves a very considerable amount of practical military instruction, which would be useful to them in case their services should ever be required. WooDROw Wilson. 14. Among other expressions of opinion in regard to these camps, all of which are most favorable, may be quoted the following: Opinion of Ex-President Taft. (From Yale Daily News, May 19, 1913.) For young men who have a taste for outdoor life and military training — and, indeed, for "roughing it" — I can conceive of no better opportunity for them to gratify this taste than to accept the invitation of the War Department. ^ They can be sure it will be no boys' play if they go into it, but it will not only give them substantial knowledge of the principles of military science, but an opportunity for physical development and muscular training, and a regular life that will contribute greatly to their health and strength. On the other hand, the knowledge that they will ac- quire will be a very good foundation for their becoming members of State militia in their homes after graduation, and will fit them to come to the rescue of the country in an emergency whenever that may arise. I commend the plan to the earnest consideration of all who have the tastes I have indicated, and urge that they consult the agent of the War Department who is coming here, in order to learn just exactly what their duties and what their responsibilities will be. The suggestion has come from Gen. Wood, who is a college man and knows college men, and is most sympathetic with college men who love outdoor life and have an inclination to do a little soldier- ing. Statement op Hon. Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary of War. (From Yale Daily News, Oct. 18, 1913.) I am very much pleased with the increased interest in the mili- tary preparation and needs of our country lately taken not only by the students of Yale University but by students of many other universities and colleges and by the educated people throughout the country. I am sure that, if our citizens only knew more about the subject of national defenses, and the ways and means vital and necessary to be properly prepared, the War Department would not have to beg consideration of its projects, but the people themselves would demand their carrying out. I [Bull. 1] 9 believe it is the duty of all true citizens of our country to famil- iarize themselves with this subject, aa upon the mere fact whether or not the country is adequately prepared for war may depend the continued peace and prosperity of the Nation and even their own lives as well. The subjects of military policy, military organization, and the true mihtary history of our country should be included in the university and college curriculum. This is necessary to the com- plete education of a well-equipped citizen in order that he may form just and true opinions on military subjects and be able to judge for himself just what is necessary in this respect for the proper safeguarding of the Nation and the means to enect same. [Letter of Harvard delegation (from Harvard Crimson, Nov. 29, 1913).) Harvard Men Enjoyed Military Camp. To the Editors of the Crimson: We, the Harvard men who attended the military instruction camp at Gettysburg and Mount Gretna, Pa., last summer, strongly recommend the camp and urge all Harvard men to make every effort to attend the one to be organized this summer. We take this opportunity of recounting some of the benefits which we derived from our summer's stay at Gettysburg. In the first place, we saw Army life at first hand, and by min- gling with the soldiers we learned to appreciate and understand the wonderfully efficient organization of the United States Army. Beiug privileged to meet and become acquainted with the officers, we found them to be men of the highest standards and efficiency, whom we were very sorry to leave on breaking camp. In the second place, there was the broadening influence derived from close acquaintanceship with men from other colleges, partic- ularly those from the South, whose ideas we found affected our own somewhat prejudiced opinions to a very great extent. In the third place, the physical and mental training was splen- did. The general discipline, settiug-up exercises, Cavalry and Artillery drills and sham battles were not only interesting and, in the latter case, exciting, but they all tended toward the perfecting of brain and muscle, while the regular hours and primeval style of life which Vv^e led created energy and vim in our bodies. Discipline, instruction, and punctuality were not, however, all that made up the camp routine. There were sports of all kinds, including swimming, baseball, and soccer, a long march from Get- tysburg to Mount Gretna and a war game with a company of Reg- ulars while on the march, which ended in our baggage train being captured just before we reached Mount Gretna. The evenings were passed pleasantly around the camp fire, with an occasional dance at Gettysburg or Mount Gretna. Finally, men who wish to spend a portion of their summer vaca- tion profitably and happily, yet with an idea of accomplishing something worth while, should join one of the four military in- [Bull. 1] 10 etruction camps this summer and benefit their country, their col- lege, and themselves.

(From the Princetonian, Jan. 8, 1914.) Long will the camps at Gettysburg and Mount Gretna be remem- bered by the Princeton delegation with a feeling that the six weeks spent there were ones full of interest and profit from the standpoint of knowledge gained, friendships made, and training acquired. From the day the camp was established until the day of de- parture the interest never lagged, due largely to the ably planned program, whereby the work was constantly varied. The results obtained by the individuals attending and by the camp as a whole were so great that they were not fully realized until after the camp had broken up and time for reflection was given. The best way of proving the worth of the camps from the Prince- ton standpoint is that every man who was there wishes to go back again this coming summer. One of the most pleasing features was the quick way in which the elementary training was gained. This allowed the officers to devote their time to instructing the corps in advanced problems in actual fieldwork, which resulted in the lessening of drill work and made the men feel that thejr were getting something of real educational value, not only in military training but in lessons to be applied all through life.— G. H. Gaston, 1913. Opinions of the Delegation from Lehigh University. (From Brown and White, Nov. 24, 1913.) BENEFITS both PHYSICAL AND MENTAL. The most conclusive proof that the military instruction camp is a good thing is the fact that all of the fellows who attended it want to go again next summer. The benefits derived were both physical and mental, including the improvement that comes from military training and outdoor life and the broadening of association with men from other colleges. It is a good thing to find out how much you don't know. We found out at camp most emphatically how much we didn't know, not only in Army mat- ters, but along the line of hygiene, sanitation, and civic affairs. [Bull. 1] 11 Everything combined to form one big convincing argument that the military instruction camp is a good thing. — J. Russell Banner, 1914. A BROADENING EXPERIENCE. What was surprising was the number of good fellows at the camp from the whole country. Meeting them and the officers of the staff was a broadening experience. What appealed to me also was the fact that each afternoon you could do so nearly what you pleased without creating an uproar. But I noticed that most everybody chose as their optional work something along military lines. Many of us would have walked a mile to get an extra clip of shells during rifle practice. And Cavalry riding appealed to all, even after the first day. In fact, the riding is the feature that I most look forward to for next summer. — N. F. Matheson, 1915. BEST INVESTMENT EVER. My expenditure of time and money in the first military instruc- tion camp was the best investment I have ever made. At Gettys- burg I met men from other parts of the country whom I am proud to call friends. Among these there were southerners who gave me some pointers that were valuable to me. As a northerner I got a point of view that was totally new. To sum up, I learned some- thing about military life, improved mj^self physically, acquired a larger outlook, and had a good time doing it. — Delozier Davidson^ 1915. GOOD, HEALTHFUL OUTDOOR LIFE. The military instruction camp was a decidedly good thing in several ways. It afforded a fellow a chance to have a real vacation without unnecessary expense, and yet have everything that could be wished for under the circumstances. We had a good, healthful outdoor life. We learned something of military discipline and tactics, and yet we had all afternoon and evening of each day in which to have a good time. A fellow was not constantly watched or put on guard duty for breaking some trifling rule. Altogether the period of instruction was profitable and it surely did furnish a mighty good time. — F. C. Brockman, 1915. A PLEASANT TIME — LEARNED SOMETHING. I confess that one of my main ideas in going to the camp was to have a pleasant time. I had it. But I think I learned something as well. We came to know the type of men that compose our Army and we gained a respect for the United States uniform. We saw system and sanitation practiced to an extent we never thought possible. We heard some worth-while lectures by prominent men. We had lots of good "eats," tried to ride Cavalry horses, took part fei three dances, enjoyed a band concert each night, and left feeling that we had made friends whom we hope to run into in the future. — H. E. Lenker, 1913. [Bull. 1] Statement by Dr. Henry Sturgis Drinker (Elected Presi- dent OF the Corps, August 5, 1913). When in May, 1913, 1 received, as president of Lehigh University, the letter sent out by Gen. Wood, stating that the Secretary of War had decided to hold during the following summer two experi- mental military camps of instruction for students, one at Gettys- burg, Pa. , and one at Monterey, Cal . , I received the word with hearty appreciation of the immense benefit and pleasure to our young men likely to result from such an establishment. It would be an enormous error to consider or look on these camps as training schools intended simply to develop a measure of military efficiency. No one has better expressed the great value of systematic military training than Prince Collier in his Germany and the Germans where he gives the German system credit for far more in the national advancement than mere military preparedness. As he well says, ''One can understand that Germany has little patience with the confused thinking which maintains that military training only makes soldiers and only incites to martial ambitions; when, on the contrarjj she sees every day that it makes youths better and stronger citizens, and produces that self-respect, self-control, and cosmopolitan sympathy which more than aught else lessen the chance of conflict. * * * Soldiers and sailors train them- selves, and train others, first of all to self-control, not to war. * * * Two generations of Germans have been taught to take care of themselves physically, without drawing a sword." I gave myself tl-e pleasure of visiting last summer the student camp at Gettysburg and also the second camp at Mount Gretna, to which the corps hiked from Gettysburg for target practice at the State rifle range. I was greatly impressed with the excellence of the arrangements made for the health, comfort, and pleasure of the students taking part in the camps and with the statements made to me by the Army officers in charge— all picked, splendid gentlemen of high ideals, thorough training, and intensely and patriotically interested in the work. They told me that in all their experience they had never had in hand a hody^ of raw recruits who made such immediate and great progress in individual and company training. They appreciated that probably never before was a company of recruits drawn wholly from the ranks of our trained college men. No wonder that, being interested and in earnest, the students did so well. The camps were a great success. The food was good, the quar- ters comfortable (I tried both twice in visits to the camps), and the students taking part not only obtained an intensely interest- ing insight and experience in Army service conditions — engineer- ing, Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry — bat they had a famoTisly good camp outing, and plenty of fun and good comradeship and acquaintance with 61 delegations at the Gettysburg camp and 29 at Monterey, the broadening effect and great value of wJhich can not be overestimated.

Students who are to attend the coming camps are advised to take, before coming, the antityphoid prophylaxis and to be vacci- nated for smallpox. This as a matter of ordinary precaution. Either inoculation will be given, however, free of charge at the camp to those who desire it; but in some cases, particularly in vaccination, temporary sore arms result, with a consequent loss of time, and it is better to have it over with before coming to camp. The typhoid inoculation renders one immune for a considerable period and has been most successful in the Army. To those who can not afford to take it before coming the free opportunity offered at the camp should be taken full advantage of. It is, however,, left entirely optional with the students. 16. All applications must be approved by the president or the authority officially designated by him of the educational institu- tion. Only students of good moral character will be permitted to attend. The requirements as to physical qualifications not being so strict as in the Army, only an organic disease or some disability that would prevent marching or render the applicant liable to ill effects from the active outdoor life of camp will be considered a disqualification. To insure certainty on this point, and for their own convenience, intending applicants should first be examined by a physician. Last year several institutions, finding the expense involved a bar for the students, paid, out of school funds, the expenses of a number of their students attending the camp. It is hoped that this idea may find favor generally with more schools. 17. Applications will be forwarded as soon as practicable to The Officer in Charge Students' Military Instruction Camps, at the headquarters of the military department within which the camp applicant desires to attend is located, or direct to Capt. R. 0. Van Horn, General Staff, United States Army, Officer in Charge of Organization of Students' Camps, War Department, Washington,. D. C, who will forward the application to the proper authority. Blank form of application will be found on last page of this bulletin and can be filled in, torn out, and forwarded, or copy of same will be satisfactory. 18. The following suggestions are offered as to what students should bring to camp: Four suits underwear, four pairs of woolen or other suitable socks to march in. •'' • '■ 14 Toilet articles: Hairbrush, comb, toothbrusb, tooth powder, soap, soap box, shaving outfit, small hand mirror, towels (two bath, three face). And especially one pair, preferably two, of good high and broad- toed shoes, suitable for marching. The following will be useful but not necessary: Sheets and pillow cases, a bathing suit, small wash basin, pair old slippers or low shoes, tennis rackets and balls and golf clubs and baseball outfits, bath sponge, small piece rug carpet or mat to place alongside of cot, watch, pocket compass, lead pencils, fountain pen and letter- writing materials, and sewing materials for mending. Dark or amber glasses (if eyes are weak). Do not bring anything not really necessary for camp life or any articles of citizen's clothing except what may be needed to wear at dances, dinners, and other social functions. For this purpose, if student desires to attend, either a dinner jacket, evening clothes, or a dark coat and duck trousers will be found most convenient; also possibly a civilian overcoat. The camp will be provided with shower baths, lavatories, and water-closets. Do not bring dogs or hunting outfits, as the season is closed. It will be well for the students to be provided with a little pocket money, as they are near town and will have time for personal excursions and pleasures. Money should be in the form of cash or certified checks and be deposited upon arrival at camp. 19. A representative of the camp commander will endeavor to meet all trains and direct students to camp.
