This article needs to be cleaned up. In 1891, ROTC, as such, did not exist. ROTC was formed in 1916 as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 [1]. There WAS military training offered in land grant colleges but it was NOT the Reserve Officer Training Corps. This page needs citations all over the place.--Vidkun 22:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused as to where exactly in the article it says ROTC existed in 1891. It states that it exists now, which it does, but I don't see where it says it existed 100+ years ago. Also, I think you'll find that other than the sections I wrote, the entire article is a cut-and-paste job from the Pershing Rifles website. So yes, it needs a lot of cleaning up/rewriting, which has been on my to-do list for a while (but obviously not at the top or it would have been done by now). Feel free to help out if you're so inclined.--ScreaminEagle 01:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
