Students Leaving College Early to Enter U.S. Armed Forces Will Receive War Certificates From University

Special war certificates will be presented to undergraduates who withdraw from College before the completion of work for their degree in order to enter the armed forces, provided that they are in good standing and have completed at least a year of satisfactory work, the University announced last night.

Although the wording of the certificates has not as yet been decided, it is understood that they will vary somewhat from the ones given by the College in 1918.

Unlike those of the last war, these will indicate the student's class at the time of his withdrawal and whether or not he was a candidate for honors.

The College will also give somewhat similar certificates "of honorable withdrawal" to undergraduates who leave College before receiving their degree in order to enter specialized forms of professional graduate training here.

These certificates are specially designed for students who take advantage of a recent ruling permitting them to enter graduate schools of the University without completing four years of work and without their Bachelor's degree.

Must Have Three Years

They will only be granted to undergraduates who have completed not less than three years of college or in very exceptional cases of candidates for admission to the Medical School not less than two years.

In the last war the College granted certificates to students in good standing, regardless of how long they had been here, if they joined the services and also to those who were admitted here but were unable to enter because of the war.
