Description
View of students participating in a training exercise. The men have repaired, assembled and run the engine. They were then sent out of the laboratory while the instructor puts the machine out of adjustment. The students must find the trouble, correct it and start the engine. Beginning on April 11, 1918, the University instituted a training program for automobile and gas engine mechanics. Seven barracks that could house 1,000, a mess hall that could seat 2,000, an administrative building and the Y.M.C.A. Hospitality House were built on the hill above O'Hara Street. Within six months, 2,200 men were being trained.
