Civilian Enrollment Up

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE opened its 177th academic year on July 6 with a total enrollment of 1,163 men. This figure included 357 civilians, a sharp increase over the 191 of the previous term and nearly a hundred more than the civilian enrollment of last July. The main cause of this rise was the entrance of 223 new freshmen to join the 32 remaining from those who matriculated in March.

The Navy V-12 Unit this term numbers 779 men, 625 of them Navy trainees and 154 Marine trainees. Further service enrollment for the Summer Term is the Medical School group of 20 Navy men and seven Army students. This term's V-12 enrollment represents a drop of more than two hundred from the 990 trainees in the Unit last term.

Among the civilians, upperclassmen number only 86 and medical students 16, leaving the 255 green-hatted freshmen to dominate the campus. Classes from 1944 through 1949 are now represented in the student body.

Twenty-five ex-servicemen, either starting or returning to college studies, were among those who registered at the opening of the Summer Term. This group included 14 former Dartmouth men, six entering freshmen, and five men accepted as transfers from other colleges. The Dartmouth men back from military service include John T. Billington '44, James R. Bodin '44, Thomas A. Donahoe '44, Theodore E. Fajen Jr. '46, William J. Ferguson Jr. '45, Meryll M. Frost '44, William G. Ftelmbold '46, James D. Kennedy Jr. '46, Richard B. Menin '47, Robert W. Rader '44, Henry O. Rea Jr. '46, John B. Rockwell '46, Alexander Ungar '45, and Ward Weimar '44.
