Hide Profile

Unit 3900 of the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) was established by the War Department at Oregon State College in March 1943. The program provided training for high grade technicians and specialists needed by the Army for the war effort. Most of the instruction was provided by regular Oregon State College faculty; E.B. Lemon, as Dean of Administration, was Coordinator of the ASTP for Oregon State. Enrollment peaked in the summer of 1943 with more than 1300 ASTP students at Oregon State College.

From the guide to the Army Specialized Training Program Records, 1943-1946, (Oregon State University Libraries)

The Army Specialized Training Program was a military training program instituted by the U.S. Army during World War II at a number of American universities to meet wartime demands for junior officers and soldiers with technical skills. ASTP was approved in September 1942 and implemented in December, whereupon a national testing program was conducted among the male college student bodies. Individuals who passed above the acceptable level were sent to the Army Specialized Training Program for intensive courses in engineering and science at land grant colleges around the country.
