"There is urgent need for a thoroughly co- ordinated over-all plan for the utilization of the colleges and universities of the country in the specific training of men destined for the armed forces of the nation. Competitive bidding for college students by the different branches of the service cannot possibly be defended. But the elimination, now assured, of this ob- jectionable competition is not enough. In the present crisis, higher education needs to be completely articulated with specific training for war service.
