FIFTY FRESHMEN TO REGISTER; 49 MIL SCI THREE MEN RETURN

Starting off Harvard's half mid-term, half new-year registration today are 50 or so new members of the Class of '47, signing up in almost traditional style for their first term at College.

The registration will be very similar to that of last January, when another small, late-registering group entered Harvard. It will include-not only new Freshmen, but students returning after a term or more of absence; students who took off the summer, or who dropped out for several terms and now find it possible to continue at College.

The men will register from 9 to 12 o'clock this morning with the English A Anticipatory exam given for those eligible from 11 to 1 o'clock. The afternoon will be reserved for the usual placement tests, while in the evening the traditional welcome reception will be held in Adams House.

Speakers at the meeting will include Paul Buck, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Colonel John K. Howard '15, AUS, Head of all Army Training Schools at Harvard, and Richard M. Gummere, Chairman of the Committee on Admissions. Delmar Leighton, Dean of Freshmen, will preside.

Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock a second meeting will be held, with required attendance for all new students, in Emerson D. Arlie V. Bock, head of the Hygiene Department, and Dean Leighton will speak at this meeting.

Civilian upperclassmen will not register until Monday, when classes start. Their registration will be a very brief one, with only a ten minute one-card job involved. It will be held in New Lecture Hall from 10 to 5 o'clock.

Returning members of the V-12 unit will not go through a formal registration since the Navy has a record of their arrival and the rest of the information on the registration card.

In addition to the V-12ers who have already had one term in the unit a large group of new men is expected to replace those who left last week for new Naval duties. These men will arrive on Monday, so they will be unable to register with the new Freshmen.

Some of them will probably be members of the first contingent of '47 who spent their first term as civilians awaiting orders to active duty. These men will probably be able to continue their regular College course, just as the V-12ers who came in with previous college training last July.

The method of registration for the new Freshmen among this contingent is not yet known
