Description
-
With the coming of World War II, the university adapted its offerings to be part of the overall defense efforts. The United States Navy Reserve Vocational School began training sailors in 1941. The United States Navy Electricity and Radio Material School (NERMS) opened in the newly built recreation building in 1942. Eventually the university had three Navy training units and a small Army Air Corps unit. As World War II began to wind down, UH enrolled its first returning veterans under the newly created Selective Serviceman’s Readjustment Act of 1944 or G.I. Bill of Rights.
