What are the reasons cadets at V.M.I, must attend Advanced Camp? What value is camp to us? We at- tend a military college, receive extensive military training, and, conceivably, could learn here at V.M.I, all the skills the Army expects the newly commission- ed officer to know. We ask the question then; is camp necessary? In the final analysis it is. Cadets from military colleges should be exposed to cadets from civilian colleges, and they should be exposed to us.
