"DEFIANCE COLLEGE NOW ARMY TRAINING SCHOOL
(Special to the News.)
HICKSVILLE, O. Sept. 14 -
By government action, Defiance college has been made a unit of the students army training corps, and will now be under the direction of the war department. A regular army officer will be stationed there, and the students will wear the khaki uniform of Uncle Sam.
Sisson Hall has been converted into a barracks and a portion of the new Tenzer science hall will also be utilized for that purpose. Over 100 young men have already registered there for military training, and prospects that the number will be doubled before the month ends."

I had no idea that DC was ever used as a training camp. How interesting.
