A letter to my father from Stanford's last ROTC Chairman, Department of Military Science.
I was fascinated to read that Stanford University is going to be voting soon on whether to bring ROTC back to campus.
My father, then Col. Chapman, was the last advisor from his reserve unit to Stanford's ROTC. It was the era of the Vietnam War and, knowing students threw things at people in military uniforms back then, the contrarian in him delighted in volunteering for the job.
