Medical School
OUR 1944 CLASS will matriculate on July first and consist of fourteen civilians, nine Navy V-12's and one Army A-12. They all have been at one time undergraduates in the College and presumably will all be candidates for the bachelor's degree except one alumnus of the Class of 1942. It may be possible after enrollment to fill the Army quota to thirteen by inducting the civilians, but under the present interpretation of quota directives they may not enter either service and continue as medical officer candidates.
A project to continue the present second year class in clinical clerkships in the School and Hospital during the transfer interim is, at our request, being considered by the armed services. Three months will elapse between our semester end date and the opening date of the third year elsewhere.

Bill and I got off and grabbed the same train and went up 69 miles to see one of our friends, a Hitchcock nurse (the censor says it was Lt. Angeline Nigro) who had just arrived. It took five hours up and seven back but we had a fine time hearing all of the latest news of the old place—those were happy years at Hanover."

Can report as correct the rumor that Major Arthur MacNeill is hospitalized at Peterson Field following an extremely rough flight."
