ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR WARLIKE SERVICE

Men who left College to enter the service may now return to their classes and receive academic credit for a good part of the time spent in hunting the hateful Hun.

The following transcript of a recent trustee vote shows how it may be done.

The term "service" as used herein means the time from date of actual induction into service to the date of discharge.

Credit, as outlined below, will be given only to those men who left college for the purpose of entering at once into National service.

1. No service credit shall be granted to any student who had not completed at least one full semester as a student at Dartmouth before entering the service.

2. No credit shall be allowed unless the student has been in service at least three months.

3. Naval Reserve men furloughed to return to college shall have the time spent in college on such furlough deducted from their service period.

4. In all cases of students transferring from other colleges, the question of service credit shall be left to the Committee on Admission with power, with the understanding that no credit shall be granted at Dartmouth unless such credit would be given at the institution from which the men came; and further, that no credit will be granted in excess of what would have been granted to students under similar circumstances at Dartmouth.

5. Service credit of fifteen semester hours and twenty-eight points shall be given to all men who have been in service not less than three months and not more than nine months.

6. Service credit of thirty semester hours and fifty-five points shall be given to all men who have been in service nine months or more.

(Note. In the cases referred to in No. 5 and No. 6 the time credit allowed shall include any courses partially completed when the student left college).

7. Any student completing the requirement for his degree under the above regulations shall be granted the degree as with his own class.

8. The above rules do not apply to men in service in the S. A. T. C. at Dartmouth or at other colleges, on the ground that regular college credit is granted to members of the S. A. T. C.

9. The Trustees will be glad to consider special cases not falling precisely within the above general rules, whenever the Administration Committee may see fit to present such cases.
