College Waives
Diploma Rule
High school diploma require
ments have been waived by the
College for freshman enrollees
because the date of matriculation
of the new class, June 8, falls be
fore the commencement exercises
of many high schools, according to
a statement issued last night by
William S. Hoffman, registrar.
“We are,” stated Mr. Hoffman,
“admitting students on the basis
of their rank at the end of the
semester that ended in January.”
“This does not mean,” he point
ed out, “that high school seniors
will be admitted if they have not
kept up their scholastic require
ments during the last semester.
Registrar Hoffman stated that
every student who is scheduled to
graduate after June 8 must still
complete necessary requirements.
However, if the high school prin
cipal refuses to graduate the stu
dent simply because of failure to
attend the last couple weeks of
classes, the student may still be
enrolled as a member of the Class
of 1946.
