Since February, 1917, nearly 150 colleges, technical schools and universities organized as the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau have been giving special aid to the country. Brought into existence almost at the direct request of the Secretaries of W ar and the Navy, the Bureau has been greatly used by Government departments. About 4,000 men of specialized training have been placed at important war work on the request of Government officers for men having a variety of training and experience."
