Draftees Unsure Of Scholarships On Their Return

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The status of scholarships of students who leave the College for military service is still in doubt, scholarship chairman F. S. von Stade '38 said yesterday.

In the last war, if a student was called in the middle of a term, the College paid a share of his expenses, pro-rated to the length of time he was at school that term.

If a student left between terms or during the summer, the Scholarship Committee passed a mere "yes" or "no" decision on his future award, and then when he returned it decided the amount of his scholarship on the basis of his new financial status. Though a new application was required from the returning veteran, if he had held a scholarship before serving, he was given preference in consideration of the new awards.

The committee will meet next term to decide what the future policy will be, von Stade said. It is likely, he said, that this same plan will be continued.

Columbia recently announced that it would continue its former practice of retaining scholarships until students holding them had returned from military service.
