Reassuring undergraduates as to their chances of winning commissions in the Army and of returning from the war alive, Warren A. Seavey, Bussey Professor of Law, outlined last night a specific course of action for college men who expect to be drafted.

On the basis of information collected on his recent tour of Army camps in the South, he urged that students get into top physical condition. An officer must be better than his men, he stressed, physically as well as mentally.

In addition, Seavey suggested that courses in math and language would be valuable in the armed forces. "Get advance information on military terms and army organization," he recommended.

Emphasizing his conviction that Army experience would be beneficial for most undergraduates, he said that mortality rates had always been low in the Army, and that he saw no reason why the same should not be true now.
