Military Instruction At Institutions Proposed For Officers Lectures
The proposal urges Congress to authorize detailing officers to lecture at military instruction institutions and to establish a department of military history. It envisions presidents designating officers to head such departments, promoting military training and eventual establishment of regular departments, while reserving terms for graduates not eligible for standard reserve-officer benefits.
