FOURTH O. T. C. WILL START MAY 15--- GOVERNMENT UNDER AGE CAMP IN JUNE

A series of military training camps will be held in June by the War Department, to which all men now completing Military Science 2, who are under the required age for the regular Officers' Training Camps, will be eligible. These encampments will be under officers of the Army, and although the men who complete the one-month's course successfully will not be commissioned, the work, which will be along the lines followed at the Fourth Series of Officers' Camps, will be of great value to all men intending to enter a later series of training schools. No exact date has yet been set for the opening of these camps.
