In the past month 23 University men have taken temporary leave of absence from College to assist in the war effort. Of these, two have been drafted and the rest have either volunteered for the armed forces or signed up for specialized war training of various sorts.
Most of these undergraduates may be expected to return to College at the end of the war, said Dean Phelps of the Records Office. He explained further that so far the general attitude of Harvard undergraduates has been much more restrained than was the case in the last war.
