CURRICULUM FOR UNITED STATES NAVY V-1 PROGRAM (26) The United States Navy has requested colleges and universities to organize and to offer a two-year curriculum preparatory to active service in the Navy. Students who enroll in this curriculum will be listed in the Naval Reserve and are subject to call to active duty at any time. On completion of the course, and after passing qualifying examinations, they will be eligible for the V-S (Naval Aviation) or V-7 (Midshipman) classifications and may continue in college during their junior and senior years. On graduation and unless ordered into active service prior thereto, these students will be given short intensive training courses by the Navy and will receive commissions as ensigns. T h e suggested curriculum for the V - i Naval Reserve classifications is heavily loaded with Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, and English. Additional funds will be required to augment the staffs of certain departments; for example, the Department of Physics estimates it may need as much as $20,000 additional to offer instruction to students in colleges other than Engineering in the V - i classification, since two years of Physics is required in this curriculum. This is submitted only as a preliminary report as an exact estimate of the cost cannot be made at this time.
