Princeton's Head Attacks Material In ROTC Courses

President Harold W. Dodds of Princeton has publicly come out against the curriculum and lack of integration of the R.O.T.C. programs, deploring the limited scope covered by their courses.

Many details relatively unimportant to either military or civilian educations were stressed, he said, and the presentation of this limited information took too much time.

Dodds advocates the addition of several general courses to the curriculum, which would salvage much of the lost time and present the cadets with a more practical education.

Separation of Staffs

Another solution to the problem, he suggests, would be to have closer cooperation between, the R.O.T.C. program and related subjects in the liberal arts field. He is not pleased with the present separation of the regular faculty and the military staff.

Although differing with the curriculum of the program, Dodds emphasizes that, contrary to the educators who feel that military discipline does not mix with civilian customs, R.O.T.C. should be retained. The influence of the military in college life says Dodds, is negligible.
