First ROTC Pass-in-Review

in Campus, Community
February 28th, 1918

Pass-in-Review is a long-standing military tradition in this country. The dean of the College of Business Administration, Everett Lord, makes ROTC compulsory in 1918; the ROTC remains active at the University until 1970. The Army and Air Force ROTC units are reestablished at the University in September 1981 under former Dean of Students Staton R. Curtis, academic coordinator for Military Education. A separate Navy unit is established in 1982 and a Marine unit in 1986.
