Officers' Training Has Stressed Radar Work

For most of the 4,230 officers of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps who were enrolled in courses at the Graduate School of Engineering during the past academic year, radar, one of the major developments of the war, was the basis of their training, Dean Harald M. Westor gaard said yesterday in his annual report.

War research projects and technical preparation of officers in the armed forces has been the chief work of the faculty, the report stated, although civilian instruction has continued also.

During the year a total of 2,606 officers were admitted to the training courses in electronics and cathode ray tubes in preparation for work with radar equipment, while 1,420 officers were enrolled in the pre-training course in this field. The report went on to say that 204 Army officers had been given instruction in the control of soils in airport and in general military construction.
