Enrollment 2,804
April 1947

FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER of the present academic year, the enrollment figure dropped off very slightly from last semester's record-breaking 2,818 total to a figure of 2,804. Two hundred and forty-one men received either the A.B. or B.S. degrees upon completion of the first semester and 264 men entered or re-entered Dartmouth at the start of the second semester.

Of the 264 new men, all veterans, 101 are freshmen and 29 others are students never in residence at Dartmouth before who were admitted with advanced standing. One hundred and thirty-four former Dartmouth students, sophomore or above, resumed their service-interrupted schooling this semester.

Once again the oldest class represented in the undergraduate body is 1936, whose William H. Hall of West Hartford, Conn., is a first-year Thayer School student. The following two classes, 1937 and 1938, are represented by one and two men respectively; 1941 has five; '42, nine; '43, 31; '44, 96; '45, 247; '46, 311.
