Enrollment 1,539

DARTMOUTH'S 1944-45 Winter Termthe fifth under the Navy V-12 Program—opened on November 6 with close to the full quota of 1,280 V-12 trainees enrolled. The Dartmouth Unit started classes with a total of 1,211 men, but added contingents from Yale and Villanova during the first week raised it to 1,267 and a few more trainees are expected.

The civilian figure for the term is 242 men, ranging from four representatives of 1944 to 143 regular 1948'S. Eight discharged servicemen, six of whom have returned to Dartmouth, are included in this civilian total.

The V-12 Unit this term includes a Marine Corps detachment of 167 trainees, most of whom were transferred to Dartmouth from units which have been closed out at other colleges. Twenty-five Navy medical students and five Army medics raise the service enrollment to 1,297 the total College enrollment for the winter to 1,539.
