UNIVERSITY GIVES THIRD ARP COURSE

Three-Week Class to Train 250 More Air Raid Wardens

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Another Harvard ARP course, to begin on Tuesday, February 24, and last for three weeks, was announced Saturday by the Harvard Committee on Civilian Defense.

Like the two previous classes, it is under the direction of Julian L. Coolidge '95, professor of Mathematics, emeritus. It will be open to faculty, students, and employees.

To Train 250

It is the hope of the Committee that the course will turn out 250 air raid wardens, who will be at the disposal of Aldrich Durant '02, Business Manager and Chief Warden of the University. This will raise to 650 the total number of wardens trained since November. These men, furthermore, by completing the standard 20-hour First Air Course may receive the Federal ARP Certificate.

The class is being given at this time because both the Student and University Defense Committees feel that "some exposure to defense courses" is beneficial for everyone. Further details on enrollment will be issued by the Committee shortly.
