About This Book

The author treats wartime mobilization as an unprecedented social experiment, showing how a national moral purpose, strict preventive regulations, and active camp supervision limited vice and disease while rehabilitating many recruits through wholesome recreation and coordinated welfare services. He then surveys how universities and individual scholars were pressed into practical service, applying academic training to technical, administrative, and advisory wartime needs. Closing reflections distill practical lessons for postwar society, advocating that educational institutions, civic organizations, and public policy adapt to promote public health, responsible citizenship, and the practical application of scholarship to national problems.
