To the Editor:
Just as we have a separation of church and state, we should also have a separation of the military from education. I do not include the military academies, whose function is to prepare officers for either active or reserve duty.
Other educational institutions should concentrate on nonmilitary academics. Patriotism does not depend upon a military education, nor is service to mankind dependent upon having the R.O.T.C. on campus.
