MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS OCCUR ON DECEMBER 6

Aptitude tests for men planning to enter medical schools next fall will be held Wednesday afternoon, December 6 in Memorial Hall, it was learned yesterday. These examinations, which require one hour and a half, were inaugurated three years ago by the Committee of American Medical Colleges in an effort to learn more successfully the capabilities of the applicants.

Last year 9,131 men from 546, or nearly 90 per cent, of the approved pre-medical colleges took the examinations. Of this number 107 were Harvard students. Since they are now ordinarily one of the requirements, it is practically obligatory for men to take them. Not only those candidates who have already completed their requirements are eligible, but also those who will have done so in time to enter next fall.

While no previous notification of the student's intention to take these examinations is necessary, an entrance fee of one dollar, the purpose of which is to defray the expenses of the Committee, will be collected that afternoon. Further information is available at the office of Dean Hindmarsh, in University Hall.
