Applications for the class of 1926 will be received until April 1, 1922, according to an announcement made recently from the Administration Building. Although more than 1000 applications are already on file and it is probable that less than 500 men will be admitted in September, 1922, the lists will be kept open until April, at which time they will be definitely and absolutely closed.
In view of the fact that the number of applications on hand now for admission next fall exceeds the number on hand last January, when the 1921 lists were closed, this announcement is taken as indicative that a thorough and definite selective process is to be instituted at Dartmouth for the purpose of determining which of the hundreds of applicants shall make up the group of 500 men eventually admitted.
