War Certificate

The trustees of Dartmouth College have authorized the President to issue a special Certificate of Merit to Dartmouth students who have been unable to complete the course leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree because of their induction into the armed services. This certificate will be issued to all men who were ordered to active duty in the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard while enrolled in College, provided that they were in good standing at the time of their withdrawal from College, and were making satisfactory progress toward graduation.

The new certificate printed on parchment paper resembles the Dartmouth diploma in its design and in its use of the Latin language for an inscription which is translated as follows:

In witness thereof we do hereby cause these letters to be given under the seal of the College on this day of the month of in the year of the salvation of mankind MDCCCCXL ERNEST M. HOPKINS, President

Men now in the armed services, who bel ieve they are eligible to receive this certificate, should write to Dean Neidlinger requesting him to submit their names to the President, and providing him with accurate information concerning the date and place of their enlistment, branch of service, and the date, place, and rank of their first assignment to active duty.
