November Enrollment

As A RESULT OF the Navy's recently announced plan to return many of its trainees to civilian life on inactive duty and as a result of the increasing discharge of overseas veterans, Dartmouth's civilian enrollment next term, starting November 5, is expected to take a sizable jump. As many as two or three hundred ex-servicemen may register for the November term, and to these will be added somewhat less than a hundred new freshmen, entering as the last members of the Class of 1949. Civilian enrollment this term was 357.

Dartmouth's quota for the start of the NROTC program in November has been set at 958 men. This total will be made up of approximately 450 Navy students and 140 Marines remaining on board from the current term, and 369 new men reporting. The latter group will include 122 men transferring to NROTC with three or four terms completed elsewhere, 54 NROTC candidates who will have completed only one term by November 1, 88 V-5 aviation candidates who entered V-12 on July 1, and 105 V-5 aviation candidates entering V-12 for the first time on November 1.

In an announcement September 1 the Navy Department disclosed that V-12 trainees enrolled in NROTC or scheduled to be enrolled before November 1 will remain in college on active duty until June 1946. All chaplain, pre-chaplain, medical and pre-medical students will end V-12 training this term, except pre-medical students scheduled to enter medical school this fall, who will be given one more term. Engineering students and Marine trainees will continue after November 1. Pre-supply men completing six terms by November 1. will be placed on inactive status, while others completing five terms or less will be transferred to NROTC. Aviation trainees (V-5) now in college or scheduled to enter November 1 will continue under instruction.
