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 $65 a month if without dependents or $90 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 more than sufficient to meet the college fees and charges at Davidson. Such fees and charges have been estimated to be as low as $400 for the twelve months. The fees and charges include all tuition and college fees, medical fees, laboratory fees, books, and supplies. From the allowance of $65 or $90 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. ENTRANCE The requirements for entrance to Davidson are listed in this catalog. Veterans who have completed work while in the service that might be used as academic credit should have the appropriate authorities send to the Admissions Office of the College a record of service courses completed. In addition, transcript of record from preparatory schools or high schools should be forwarded to the College for evaluation as well as transcripts from insti- tutions of higher education, if the veteran has attended college prior to his entry into the armed forces. It is possible that cir- cumstances of certain veterans may justify exceptions being made to the ordinary entrance requirements. The case of each appli- cant will be determined on its merits. Inquiry with reference to admission should be addressed to the Registrar of the College. CREDIT FOR SERVICE COURSES A veteran who while in the service was enrolled in a College Training Program such as the A.S.T.P. or the V-12 or some similar program can expect to receive credit upon his return to college as a civilian for courses successfully completed at the college level. A veteran who wishes credit for such work must have a transcript of his record sent to the College from the authorities of the institution he attended as a member of the armed forces. Appropriate credit will also be granted by the College for work completed under the direction of the United States Armed Forces Institute. In its determination of credit for in-service educational experiences the College is following the recommendation of the American Council on Education in its publication, "A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Exper- iences in the Armed Services." ACCELERATED PROGRAM To allow as many opportunities during the calendar year as possible for veterans to begin their work and to permit veterans to speed up their undergraduate training, the College is operat- ing under the accelerated program throughout the year. This program includes two full semesters plus a twelve-weeks summer term, and under this program opportunities are given veterans to enter at any one of five periods in the year. It is possible for a veteran under this program entering college for the first time to complete the requirements for graduation in three calendar years. COURSE OF STUDY It is not planned at Davidson to place veterans in any special group. They will be expected to attend under the same condi- tions and regulations and enjoy the same benefits as students coming to us from civilian life. No special department of study has been set up specifically for veterans. The College offers a thorough and varied program in the field of liberal education for those who wish to go on to graduation. Tt is possible for a student who does not plan to graduate to take short courses in prepara- tion for entrance to such professional schools as medicine, den- tistry, engineering, law, ministry, and so forth. The enrollment of Davidson College is restricted, and in the selection of students consideration is given to those best equipped to meet the standards of our Faculty. The Counseling Program of the College is available for veterans, and classes particularly at the Freshman and Sophomore levels, are small, thus furnish- ing a close relationship between student and instructor.
