8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Freshmen and Sophomores interested in the Navy's new V-1 program were described the details of the plan and the operation of the course of study as it applies to the University at a meeting in Emerson D last night.
Before about 50 students interested in the course, Dean Hanford, Elliot Perkins. Master of Lowell House, who heads the program here, and Ensign O'Malley, described the inner workings of the Navy's pre-induction program and answered questions from would-be applicants.
Those accepted for the course may ordinarily count on completing four College terms, Perkins stated, but they must take several courses to meet the Navy requirements. Enlistment in V-1 will not, however, prevent concentration in the humanities or social science, he stressed.
For Freshmen enrolling in V-1 who have only the minimum knowledge of mathematics required for entrance into the College, Mathematics C, the first of half of Mathematics A, and Physics B are suggested this summer in preparation for the Navy exam in September.
For Sophomores enrolling in the course and qualifying for V-7 who have not had any mathematics or physics in their college course, Physics B and Mathematics C are recommended this summer, Mathematics A is recommended for the fall term, and a further course in Physics B is recommended for the second half of 1942-43.
