National engineer reserve

On July 1st the new law providing for the National Reserve Corps of Engineers became effective. A general outline of this legislation was published in the March 1916 Proceedings as reported by the Joint Committee of five national engineering societies which had been appointed to assist the War Department in the formation of the National Engineer Reserve. The War Department has recently completed details of requirements and qualifications for commissions in the officers reserve corps of the army, which are embodied in a circular issued by the Joint Committee of the engineering societies and which has been mailed to every member of the A. I. E. E., and the other participating societies.
