240 Freshmen Register at Radcliffe

Radcliffe's freshman class of 240 girls, together with a handful of transfer students, will register for their first year at the 'Cliffe Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. and will inaugurate a new system of enrolling freshmen at the same time.

Until this fall, new "Cliffedwellers have registered with all other Annex students on the Monday of opening week. This year, freshman enrollment has been cut to two hours during the four-day orientation period to streamline Monday's upperclass registration.

No Veterans

For the first time since V-J Day, no veterans will register as members of the incoming class, which was chosen, according to Mrs. Van Courtlandt Elliott, director of Admissions, from "the peak postwar batch of applications."

Of the 240 new 'Cliffedwellers in Cambridge this week, four come from Hawail, Canada, Brazil, and Malaya. The others represent 30 states and the District of Columbia, and five are enrolled in the five-year nursing program which Radcliffe sponsors jointly with the Massachusetts General Hospital.

No Housing Problem

Housing will be no problem for '52, who will set a 'Cliffe precedent this week when every dormitory 'Cliffedweller moves her trunks into one of the six big Quadrangle dormitories. Former freshmen have had to take their chance in the housing lottery and many were stationed in off-campus houses for their first year. All freshman classes from this fall on will room on the Quadrangle.

President Wilbur K. Jordan will greet the Class of '52 for the first time Tuesday morning when all four classes, led by Seniors in cap and gown march into the First Congregational Church for Opening Day exercises.

Saturday's registration session and an informal soiree that evening at which the 'Cliffedwellers meet Harvard '52 mark the end of Orientation.
