This month in history (98 years ago)
In November 1915, as World War I raged in Europe, the University Senate voted overwhelmingly for compulsory military training of students for the first two years of schooling. Carried up to the Board of Regents, the matter was tabled for nearly a year and a half. Then by unanimous action the regents rejected it and adopted instead a plan for voluntary training with a large proportion of theoretical (lecture) work in place of military drill.
