ENSIGN SCHOOL OPENS TODAY

The list of Naval Reservists detailed to the Cadet School, First Naval District, has not-yet been completed and work will begin today with less than the specified number of students. About ten more men must report for a special physical examination before the full detail can be made up. It is expected that several more University graduates and undergraduates will be chosen.

All the cadets who were assigned to the School were ordered to report to Captain Parker at Holyoke House this morning. Today, the men will devote their attention to the preparation of the sleeping quarters and of the administrative offices in Dane Hall. A detachment of seamen has been engaged in this work since last Friday and it is certain that the final buildings will be in shape for the beginning of studies tomorrow morning.

Course Lasts 13 Weeks.

The course will extend over a period of 13 weeks and the instruction will be somewhat similar to that given by the University for the students who are on leave of absence from the Naval Reserve, but it will be of necessity more intensive. Dr. H. T. Stetson, who is teaching navigation in the University course, stated to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday that there was no probability of any coalition between the courses which count towards a degree and the courses given by the United States Cadet School. "The two courses of instruction", he said, "are given to fill two separate demands. The Cadet School must cover in 13 weeks what the University course takes up in a whole academic year. The former will supply all the instruction necessary to pass the examination for a Reserve Ensign's commission. The latter will supply this instruction and more too, which will be very valuable if not essential to an officer in the Reserve."

It was announced yesterday that in accordance with the privilege extended to Harvard as a "distinguished university" the four students who had been appointed by President Lowell did not have to take the regular examination last August. They are Frederic Cameron Church, Jr., '20, of Lowell. George Philip Davis '14, of Waltham, William Brackett Snow. Jr., '18, of Stoneham, and Robert Gregg Stone '20, of Brookline. All three of the undergraduates had been regulars on the informal University football team.
