YALE at War, An American University accepts the challenge. The lifeblood of a university is young men. Today, with millions of young men entering the armed forces, American universities are faced with the critical problem of keeping alive. One of those doing most to solve its problem and serve the nation is Yale, which in its 241 years of existence has sent men to every American war. In 1917, university men left in a body to get into the war. Today the situation is different. It is different not because university men are slackers, but because they are being trained for specific valuable work. This training is given under the Yale Plan, formulated by Yale's President Charles Seymour and Professor Elliot Dunlap Smith, and has received the full approval of the Army and Navy. Under it, students continue to study through the summer to complete the normal four year course in two and two-thirds years, adding special military and physical training to their studies. They graduate as members of the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, or with a background in science, engineering and medicine which they will enlarge upon to aid our war effort. ..... 1942 LIFE Magazine Article, A2175. 19420601.
