In a by-gone era, the bells at Canadian universities once rang out in tribute for students in uniform, when young people received army, navy and air force training on campus. Through the decisive decades of the 20th Century, the programs of the Canadian Officers Training Corps produced leaders of business, politics and the military. Then, in 1968, the COTC was suddenly abolished. No Country for Young Men revisits the memories of Canada’s lost tradition of university military training when citizenship, leadership and service were part of a university education.
