Title: V-12 Unit Members, Washburn University
Caption: In student union, circa 1944, at Washburn University. The V-12 program was entered into by the Navy to satisfy its need for large numbers of educated men to feed into the reserve midshipmen schools and, incidentally, into certain other schools. Men were placed on active duty as apprentice seamen, drawing pay as such. The government also paid all of their college expenses. They were not subject to selective service so long as they retained their enlisted ranking and kept up with their school work.
