He was treasurer et'tbe school In 1963. and analysis. It covers the statistical relationship between success in four civilian occupational fields and Army ROTC training at college. The four fields are U.S. ambassadorial service, U.S. Congress, state governors, and business. Major Rainer said, the study reveals that 15 percent of«the ambassadors, who last year represented the United States throughout the world, have had ROTC training. Colonel Evans indicated that .since approximately 5 percent of college students take Army ROTC, the statistical likelihood of any given college student becoming an. ambassador is three times; greater if he takes military training at college than if he does not. Ten percent of the membership of the present U.S. Congress has had ROTC training. These men, the colonel said, stood twice as good a chance of becoming a congressman or a senator as their less military minded class mates stood. A survey of the fifty states revealed that 24 percent of the governors have had college military training. This would indicate that the college student with ROTC training stands five, times the. chance of .becoming a governor than students without such training. In the world of big business, 28 percent of a sampling of college-educated business executives listed in "Who's Who" earning between $100,000 and $330,000 a year had ROTC training. This indicates odds of six to one in favor of the ROTC man who wants to become a top executive. Major Rainer attributes the high degree of relationship between ROTC training and civilian success to leadership and idealism. "The cadet, as a formal part of his training, must develop to the maximum his, leadership potential," he said. "Self-discipline is essential to a soldier;in order even to participate in a military unit. Discipline of others, i. e., the function of command, is essential to- the military leader, and our military training is .designed to develop to the maximum the leadership quality. "Many a young man discovers for the first time on the parade ground that he has within himself the capability of issuing an order, and having, it obeyed. I think it honestly can be said that many have latent leadership, but never having had the opportunity of developing it, never know that they can be leaders. "Few men can participate in military life for several years without having some idealism rub off on them. They wittingly or unwittingly absorb some concept of service to the country and to their fellow men. It: is our belief that this idealism is a real factor in success no matter what occupation a man may choose. No matter how vast the amount of knowledge an individual may have accumulated about engineering, for example, he is unlikely to become one of the highest paid engineers in America unless he has acquired an ideal from somewhere." According to Major Rainer, one reason Colonel Evans had this study made is to answer a question frequently asked by college students, "What good can military training do me?" He said that for anyone seeking a military career, the advantage's of ROTC are obvious but the advantages to those students pursuing .civilian occupations are sometimes more difficult to pinpoint and understand. "The study shows," he said, "that the college educated,, trained leader who has a sense of idealism has a real advantage in life. We believe that Army ROTC make a significant contribution to the chances of success." Law School Business Mgr.
