This year we were confronted with a war —one in which we must do our part, and forego many luxuries and other things to which we are accustomed. This did not daunt the spirit of DAVIDSON; rather it was an impetus to the work and strength of this great institution, and gave it a chance to show what DAVIDSON has done for its men, and what DAVIDSON men can do and are doing. For this reason and because we believe that this year is one that will live long in the memory of all, we have attempted to present a picture of life and happenings ^//^ 'M(^i^ CONTENTS here at DAVIDSON this year—and hope that you INTRODUCTION will never forget it.

    112-*^ YEAR .v EDUCATION OF VETERANS Davidson College is cooperating in full with the Veterans Administration in its educational program for men whose education was interrupted by the war and for veterans who plan to enter college for the first time. Davidson is a liberal arts college offering those courses leading to the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Description in detail of the offerings of the College is listed under the appropriate head- ings in the catalog. Members of the armed forces who wish to enter Davidson should contact the Registrar of the College who is in position to give veterans full information concerning the program of the College for ex-servicemen. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The financial assistance available to veterans for educational purposes is a subsistence allowance by the Federal Government of $75 a month if without dependents or $105 to $120 a month with one or more dependents. For the customary charges for tuition and necessary college fees an amount not to exceed $500 will be paid for an ordinary college year. This amount is suffi- cient to meet the college fees and approved charges at Davidson. The Veterans Administration pays all tuition and college fees, medical fees, laboratory fees, books, and supplies. From the allowance of $75 or $105 to $120 a month a veteran must take care of his living expenses including board, room and laundry. Veterans who wish to attend Davidson under the provisions and benefits of the "G. I. Bill" should communicate with the nearest Veterans Administration office.
