To some this may sound a very rad
ical change from the old system.
Quite a few will argue that the drop
ping OF any of the present clauses of
the eligibility code in vogue at most
of our schools Of learning would be
like taking a backward dive into dan
gerous water. However, after Dart
mouths position has been fully ex-
planned nothing but warm words of
praise can result.
Graduate Manager Horace q. PEN
der, one of the best informed athletic
authorities in the country, is father
OF the proposition, which is here out =
lined. The idea was born when the
cream of Dartmouths young man
hood left Hanover for war service.
1t is planned to allow every stu
dent who enlisted in any sort of war
service to pick his college without
the slightest regard to where he was
matriculated at the outbreak OF the
war. No restraints are to be placed
on the former student which might
cause him to hesitate in a desire to
reshape his future by changing his
course of study or school learning.
May Register Anywhere.
The athletic spirit which was gen.
Grated in his being during his life
as one of Uncle Sans fighters. Is to
be given a free rein in arriving at
this decision. The fact that an ath-
lete was registered at Dartmouth be-
fore the war should not keep him
from playing at Harvard or any other
seat OF learning should he decide to
change his residence to Cambridge or
some other college town.
The same would hold good in guild
ing a lad in deciding to change to
Dartmouth. He would be allowed to
perform on a varsity team irrespect-
i've of whether he was formerly a var
sity player at some other seat OF
learning before enlisting in war SER
vice. Further. a man who has played
one, two or three years previous to
enlisting should be allowed to play
as many moro seasons as 1t would
