560 MORE FRESHMEN TO SWELL CLASS OF 1946

On Friday, September 25, a second installment of 650 Freshmen will join the 700 members of the class who attended the summer session, swelling the ranks of the class of 1946 to 1350, largest in the history of Harvard College.

The Class of 1946 will also be the sixth in 167 years to enter the College as it endeavors to find its place in the all-out effort of a nation at war. Concepts of education and its role are being daily changed, with the men of '46 the first to feel the full brunt of a war-streamlined curriculum.

Housing Still Uncertain

Because of overcrowding in the Houses it is possible that some of the dormitories in the Yard, which are not being utilized by the Navy, will be used to house Freshmen. Grays, Wigglesworth, and Weld may be opened in the Yard, and Farlow and Walker outside. Since the Union is entirely taken over by the Navy for the duration. Freshmen will probably have to eat in the Houses; information regarding housing and feeding will be sent out shortly.

Those of the Class of 1946 who are able to remain until graduation will leave the College at times varying from September 1944 to June 1946. Enlisted reserve plans and the prospect of a lowered draft, however, make any definite plans impracticable.

Buck to Address '46

The arrival of the new Freshmen on Friday will mark the opening of a busy first week. In lieu of President James B. Conant, who is busy in Washington, Dean Paul H. Buck will welcome the Freshmen on Saturday. On Sunday PBH is holding open house for all new students in the College, and on Monday the leaders of the undergraduate extra-curricular activities will address the class in the traditional meeting in PBH.

One of the great features of the Freshman Class in the past has been the Register and Red Book. Because of increased printing costs and lack of time, a combined edition will appear early in November.
