A large and competent staff, a well-equipped plant, and the accumulative experience of seventy-five years in higher education and research have been placed "at the disposal of the state and federal governments. Accelerated programs of teaching and research enable the student to complete requirements for graduation in three, rather than four, years. The United States Navy has over 1500 trainees in its Signal and Diesel schools which are maintained at the University of Illinois. These men are housed and fed, as well as instructed, in University buildings. Early in 1943 the University of Illinois was selected as a center for Army and Navy Engineering Specialists' Training. As this program is developed, it is anticipated that many more members of the armed services will be sent here for instruction. All University-owned residence halls for both men and women are now under contract to the armed forces. It is probable that many privately owned units will be utilized in lodging additional groups of Army and Navy trainees. Despite these new demands for housing facilities, an ample supply of attractive accommodations for both men and women will be maintained under University standards. The first responsibility of the University is to the war effort, but this obligation can be discharged in full only when adequate training for effective citizenship is continued for those men and women who attend the University as regularly enrolled students. . . . . . . . . .
