Vanguard of 264 to Register Today in College; GSAS Summer Enrollment Expected to Hit 1000

Acenstomed in those past summers to the din and bustle of a massive heard of new registrants eager to speed up their college education, Mem Hall will feel the first indication of a postwar slack-off today when 264 new veteran students, returning undergraduates, and special students fill out the "necessary forms."

When men from the spring term return Monday, the situation will be closer to normal, since approximately 1140 are expected back. The total undergraduate enrollment in the College will hit 1404.

As part of the Faculty receiving line, Provost Buck and Earnest A. Hooton, professor of Anthropology, will go on the speakers' platform in the Kirkland House Common Room tonight at 7:30 o'clock. The reception, for all new and returning students, will be conducted by Delmar Leighton '18, Dean of Freshmen.

Instead of an all day session of registration today, Mem Hall will be open for only four and a half hours, from 8:30 to 1 o'clock. Afternoon hours will be consumed by placement tests.

71 New Vets

Of the 264 enrollees expected today, 71 are new veteran students, 82 are returning from leaves of absence, 11 are new students admitted in the past but never attended, and about 100 are special students, who cannot be strictly classed as undergraduates. The last-named category is composed mainly of men making up requirements for various graduate studies, such as medical school and dental school.

Bedding and board, except for a very few of the early registrants, are in the southern section of the Yard and in the Kirkland House dining hall, respectively. Rooms have been assigned to fill up Wigglesworth, Grays, Matthews, and Straus beyound what has already been assigned for the fall term.

The Freshman Union will not be open for diners this summer, what with construction of the Lamont Library and all. Yard dwellers, along with Winthrop residents, will have to trek over to Kirkland for their meals. Men from Claverly and Leverett will form a gourmet's caravan to Eliot while Dunster and Adams do the same thing to Lowell. In all, only three dining halls will operate during the summer months.

Two Meetings

Two required meetings for the registration vanguard are on Monday's schedule, one to open the day at 9 o'clock and the other to close it at 5. Both are in New Lecture Hall.

The morning meetings will be a general orientation with Keyes D. Metcalf, Director of the University Library, and John U. Monro '34, Counsellor-elect of Veterans, behind the restrum.

In the afternoon, the Department of Hygiene and Physical Training will make its announcements.
