LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
All freshmen who enrolled in Military Science 1 at mid-year will not have to attend summer school, Colonel Charles P. Summerall, Jr., has announced. Those who cannot afford to come here this summer will be allowed to make up the first half of MS 1 in the first term of their sophomore years. They will then take one term of MS 2 along with MS 3 as juniors.
This marks a precedent in recent years at Harvard, though both Yale and Princeton have allowed men to take two R.O.T.C. courses concurrently for a long time.
Students whose financial circumstances will not enable them to attend summer school will have to write Summerall explaining their reasons for not coming. Summerall had only received one letter by last night, but he expects to get more by the deadline on Tuesday. Many freshmen who entered MS 1 at midyear are scholarship holders.
Interviews for students to receive deferments will also take place Wednesday and Thursday for all freshmen in the R.O.T.C. who have not yet been deferred.
