Description

This is a black and white, overexposed photo of an ROTC regiment formation on the Drill Field. ROTC stands for "Reserve Officers' Training Corps", and it is a program that trains university students for the United States Armed Forces. There are seven groups of ROTC members in formation on the Drill Field. A campus building can be seen in the background, but it is largely obscured by trees. There is a flag pole in the middle of the drill field, and there are trees in the background behind it.
