22 ENLISTED IN SIGNAL CORPS

At an enthusiastic meeting held last night in the Cruft Laboratory for men interested in signal corps work, Captain C. E. Russell, of the United States Signal Corps, emphasized the vital need for college men in this branch of the service. He spoke of the nature of the signal corps work and explained the details of the reserve battalion that he is now forming. Twenty-two members of the University enlisted last night, and with this number Captain Russell will form a nucleus for a signal corps class here. He will also detail an army officer to carry on the work. Professor J. W. Pierce of the Cruft Laboratory will furnish the facilities for the radio instruction.

Other members of the University who are interested in this signal corps work, and who desire to enlist are to attend the opening meeting of the class which will be held about May 7. Full particulars and information will be given in the CRIMSON at that time.
