Approximately 500 men, or 25 per cent of the undergraduate body are wholly or partially putting themselves through the College this year, either by working around the town or by receiving scholarship aid. Half of them, 271 men, work in the eating clubs, while 424 have scholarships, although many have both a scholarship and a job.
The Dartmouth Dining Association employs the greatest number of men who earn their board, 107. These men work in the freshman Commons, the Cafeteria, or the Grill. The other eating clubs employ 164.
Of the 424 men who hold scholarships, 117 are freshmen, 74 sophomores 58 juniors, and 74 seniors. This number cannot be added to these working in eating clubs since most of these men are employed elsewhere.
The College and the stores of Hanover furnish employment for 97 undergraduates, the College using 34 in the Administration Building, library, and as readers in courses. The D. C. A. has a list of 50 men who are given employment at the homes of townspeople who send in requests for men to do odd jobs. This work is intermittent, however, as not every man on the list is able to be supplied with a job each day.
There are between 30 and 50 men who live at the homes of townspeople, and who work for their room rent, and there are other undergraduates who support themselves by tutoring and these are counted in on the total number of men contributing to or paying for their college education.
