Excerpt from Camp Devens R. O. T. C. Infantry Camp, 1919 A leader, in the sense here employed, must be a character who possesses all the desirable qualities of manhood. One who rejects and abhors the baser traits bred of bad environment and wrong direction. In a word, he must primarily be a good citizen. If open air, pleasant occupation, regular habits, intelligent physical and moral training, health, constant and sincere interest in the welfare of each individual does not make him a better son and a better citizen, while at the same time preparing him for the possible emergency of having to do his bit in the protection of his home and country, then we have failed of our purpose. It has been a pleasure as well as an experience of ever-increasing interest to work with these young men, and if the results have really been commensurate with the sincere effort of the instructors and the expense of maintaining these camps, it is largely due to the quality and intelligence of the young men we have had to work with.
