Scholarships Not Enlarged

Despite the reduction in the under graduate body caused by expected inroads of the draft, the proportion of men receiving scholarships will not be increased, it was announced yesterday by Henry Chauncey '27, assistant dean in charge of scholarships. This will mean that not all the scholarship funds on hand will be distributed in a given year.

Instead of being dispersed in the form of more generous grants to men remaining in College, any accumulated funds will be placed in reserve, as it is hoped to provide for the return after the war of departing students. Chauncey emphasized, however, that this announcement does not indicate a curtailment in the grants now being awarded to individual students.

National Scholars Safe

Holders of National Scholarships in particular need not fear that their grants will be reduced, he said, stating that the suspension of this program as announced yesterday applies only to men not yet in College. The action was taken, he added, because of the indesirability of holding a formal competition as in the past when the number of applicants would be so greatly reduced and the uncertainity of their stay in College so great.

Further information on the status of the Freshman Class to enter in June was released at the same time by Richard M. Gummere '07, chairman of the committee on Admissions, who said that the Freshmen "can count on a normal program of studies, with elective courses in the arts and sciences."

Contained in a letter being sent to many preparatory schools, the statement emphasized the University's recommendation that students complete their regular preparatory course before coming to college.
