COLLEGE FORCED TO ANNOUNCE CLOSING OF APPLICATION LIST

Dartmouth College is compelled to announce the closing of its list of applications for admission to College in the fall of 1921. Only about 500 men can be accommodated in the college dormitories supplemented by all the available resources .in the community outside the college buildings.

Formal applications for rooms have already been made by more than 1200 men seeking to enter College next September. Making allowance for all possible shrinkage, some, of those already registered cannot be furnished accommodations, and in fairness to men who are planning to enter College next fall, this statement is made so that application may be duly made to some other institution.

The only exception to be made to the above statement is that the College has reserved a very few rooms for men of outstanding promise in scholarship or in qualities of leadership; and so far as possible under this limitation of accommodations, consideration will be given to the claims of any man whose recommendations indicate that he definitely possesses these qualities.

It should be added that there are always a few rooms available at the last moment before the opening of College, through the last minute failure of some men to qualify or through such untoward incidents as illness. The College can give no guarantee to any man in this regard and does not advise men to wait, but the circumstance is cited for the benefit of the occasional man who has some specific reason for greatly desiring to enter Dartmouth above any alternative which may be offered.
