Boom in Military Schools
U.S. military schools are crowded, while civilian colleges report enrollment losses as high as 21% this term.

Proud of their 11,205 alumni in the armed services (among Virginia Military Institute's are 17 generals, two rear admirals), delegates saluted each other with five outstretched fingers, representing five of their old boys who had made good: General George Marshall (V.M.I.), General Douglas MacArthur (Texas M.I.), Captain Arthur Wermuth, the "one-man army" in Bataan (Northwestern Academy), Pearl Harbor Air Commander Clarence Tinker (Wentworth), Captain Colin Kelly (Marion).
