# ADMISSION TO HARVARD COLLEGE
## INFORMATION FOR VETERANS

### I. GENERAL

1. Veterans apply for admission to Harvard College through the office of the Counsellor for Veterans, which handles all preliminary matters. Final decision on admission is made by the Committee on Admission.

2. For admission purposes, veterans are defined as men who have served in the armed forces of the United States or the United Nations, the Merchant Marine, or the American Field Service.

3. Academic qualifications for admission remain essentially the same for veterans as for non-veterans. The candidate must have received a secondary school diploma or its equivalent. His secondary school program should have included work in English, mathematics, a foreign language, a natural science and a social science; but requirements are flexible for veterans, and the one essential prerequisite is that the veteran be adequately prepared for his work at Harvard.

4. Every veteran considering applying for Harvard should study carefully the pamphlets giving information about the College and be sure that he understands degree requirements and regulations and the nature of the liberal education which Harvard gives. Harvard College does not offer training in business, journalism, law, or any other profession or vocation — and it gives no credit for such training received elsewhere. It is a place where a man can get a broad general education either for its own sake or as part of his preparation for subsequent professional training. Professional training at Harvard is given only in the graduate schools.

5. After September, 1947 it is contemplated that veteran admissions will be handled by the Committee on Admissions and not by the Counsellor for Veterans Office.

### II. ADMISSION PROCEDURE

Veterans take the following steps in applying:

(a) Fill out and send to the Counsellor for Veterans Office two forms supplied by that office:

1. Application blank

2. Medical questionnaire

(b) Submit photostatic copies of discharge or release from service and Separation Qualification record, or similar form giving details of service history. Records of citations, commendations, or awards should also be submitted.

(c) Take the Special Aptitude Test for Veterans (SV Test) of the College Entrance Examination Board.

(d) Come to Cambridge for an interview with a Counsellor if it is possible to do so without undue expenditure of time and money.

(e) Letters of recommendations are not required, but the Committee welcomes any letters which will provide significant evidence of the applicant's promise.

6. These steps may be taken in any order, but it is generally best to have a conference with a Counsellor before formally applying. If the candidate lives at some distance from Cambridge, he should get a preliminary estimate of his chances of admission by writing to the Counsellor, explaining in detail his educational qualifications and aims, and giving whatever facts of his personal and service history seem pertinent.

7. The Counsellor for Veterans Office will write directly to secondary schools, or any other educational institutions attended, for transcripts of record and principal's reports. It will be helpful, however, if the candidate can bring transcripts with him if he has an interview, or send them in with his letter if he wants a preliminary estimate of his chances of admission.

8. The Veteran's Aptitude Test is required of all candidates unless it is specifically waived by the Counsellor. It may be waived when the candidate has already taken regular College Entrance Examination Board examinations, has studied at Harvard in the V-12 or ASTP programs, or is unable to take the test but is able to present other satisfactory evidence of promise.

The test, which lasts three hours, is ordinarily given at Harvard on Wednesday afternoons at one forty-five, though the day may be changed occasionally because of holidays or the beginning or ending of a term. By special arrangement, the test may be taken at Harvard on some other day of the week if the candidate is unable to be present on a Wednesday. The cost is two dollars and fifty cents in Cambridge, more elsewhere.

The Veteran's Aptitude Test is also given on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month in the following cities: Berkeley, California; Buffalo, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; New York, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Washington, D. C. In addition, it will be given in a large number of College Board centers throughout the country on June 7, 1947 and August 27, 1947. Finally, special arrangements to take the test at a college near the candidate's home may be made by the Counsellor when it is impossible for the candidate to take the test at one of the regularly scheduled times. Candidates who cannot take the test in Cambridge should request instruction from the Counsellor for Veterans Office about taking it elsewhere.

The Veteran's Aptitude Test is designed especially for veterans who have been out of school for some time. It requires no special preparation, being an aptitude not an achievement test. There are three parts to the test. All candidates are required to take Parts 1 and 2, the Verbal and Mathematical Aptitude sections. In Part 3, candidates are required to take either Social Science or Natural Science reading; the choice is the candidate's. The Spatial Relations section of Part 3 should not be taken by Harvard candidates.

Veterans who enroll in a secondary school for an academic year, after their discharge will ordinarily be required to take the regular College Board Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests.

9. Decision of the Admission Committee is based on the evidence of the candidate's promise derived from his academic record, test scores, record in the service, personal interview, principal's report, and letters of recommendation if any are submitted.

Ordinarily candidates will be notified of the Committee's decision about a month before the beginning of the term for which the candidate has applied. Where a preliminary scrutiny of the evidence shows clearly that the candidate has no chance he will be notified at an earlier date.

### III. GENERAL

10. The Admission Committee will not take final action on an application until the candidate is discharged or on terminal leave or knows definitely that he will be in one status or the other in the near future. Men who are within a few weeks of release, however, are urged to complete as much as possible of the admission procedure before discharge.

11. Under current conditions of continuing heavy application and serious over-crowding in the College which has about sixty per cent more students than it had before the war, only a small proportion of those who want to come can be admitted. No well-qualified veteran should hesitate to apply, but in view of the uncertainty of admission, candidates are urged to apply at other colleges also.

12. Veterans who have attended other colleges before induction or subsequent to discharge will not ordinarily be admitted. Exceptions may be made to this general policy, however, where there is a sound educational reason for doing so. No veteran who thinks he has good grounds for asking that an exception be made for him should hesitate to state his case.

To qualify for the bachelor's degree, any transfer student who is admitted is required by faculty rule to spend at least four terms in residence at Harvard College. Therefore men who have had more than four terms of college elsewhere will ordinarily not be admitted.

13. No special students will be admitted as long as it is impossible to take care of all well-qualified undergraduates who are regular degree candidates.

14. For the present, Harvard offers to veterans a choice between the normal two-term and the accelerated three-term year. The Summer Term lasts for twelve weeks only, but credit may be obtained for three or four half courses. Four half courses constitute the normal work of a full term. The Summer Term will be discontinued in the year 1948.

Terms begin approximately on June 12 and September 18, 1947. It is contemplated that after September, 1947, veterans ordinarily will be admitted only once a year; that is, for the term starting in September.

15. Veterans may get credit towards their Harvard degrees for training programs satisfactorily completed in the armed forces. Decision on such credit is not made until the candidate is admitted.

Harvard does not give credit for correspondence or night courses unless they were taken while in the service.

16. Veterans may apply for admission regardless of their status with the Veterans Administration. Ordinarily the veteran should apply for his educational aid at the Veterans Administration office nearest his home immediately after his discharge. To apply for such aid, he does not need to wait until he is admitted to a college. A veteran who is admitted to Harvard should apply for his aid through the office of the Counsellor for Veterans, unless he has previously applied for the aid through other channels. A leaflet explaining government educational benefits for veterans and application procedure is available at the office of the Counsellor for Veterans.

17. Blanks for room applications will be sent to men after they have been admitted. It is expected that there will be enough room available in college dormitories for single men. Harvard has no dormitories for married students, however; and it is very difficult for such students to find housing in the Cambridge area, where an acute housing shortage exists. Information about housing for married students may be obtained at the Phillips Brooks House, Cambridge, or the real estate office of Hunneman and Company, 1416 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Under separate cover, I am sending you the bulletins, "Freshman Studies", and "Courses of Instruction".

Men may enter Harvard College at the beginning of any term. The next term will begin about September 18, 1947, and the final date for receiving applications will be approximately August 1.

Harvard College does not grant credit for courses taken at night. However, the College does grant credit for courses taken in Armed Services provides they are of college level. It will be necessary to receive a transcript of your ASTP record, before an estimate can be made.

I am enclosing a statement explaining Harvard College admission policy and procedure. If you want to apply for admission, you should send in transcripts of your previous educational record, or a detailed description including grades as well as courses. You should also write us giving pertinent details about your personal history, your record in the service, and your educational aims. We can then give you an advisory opinion of your chances of admission, and we can also make recommendations as to the advisability of your coming to Cambridge for an interview with a Counsellor, and for the aptitude test. A personal interview, although not essential, is regarded as important in the case of men who appear to have some chance of admission. However, in cases where the trip to Cambridge would impose an undue burden, arrangements can be made for an interview and examination in the home area.

If the opportunity presents itself, and you do decide to come to Cambridge, you should let us know at least two to three weeks in advance, so that a definite appointment can be made.

I must warn you, however, that most colleges, including Harvard, are overwhelmed by applications from veterans. Under present conditions, Harvard is able to admit only a small number of the men who want to come. Because of this situation, you should certainly also apply at other colleges as soon as possible.

Please do not hesitate to write to me again, if you think there is any

Office of the Counsellor for Veterans

Cambridge 38, Mass.

Dear Sir:

Thank you for your letter of 15 April 1947.

Since I did not receive the application forms mentioned in your statement of Harvard admission policies, I shall try to give you as much information about my background as possible, with the hope that you may advise me as to my chances for admission or what next steps I should take in order to be admitted.

**My educational background:** I attended George Washington High School in New York City from which I graduated in 1941 with an average of 92%. Economic considerations prevented my enrolling at a university then. While with the Armed Forces I studied for six months under ASTP at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa. I was enrolled in the "Basic Engineering" Course, studying subjects on the Freshman college level. These subjects included mathematics (Trigonometry in the first and algebra in the second term), Physics (Basic Principles), Chemistry (Basic Principles), English (Composition), History (American History up to 1918), and Geography. In all these subjects I attained an average of "A". Certified transcripts of my work at Lafayette College are being sent to you under separate cover.

**My personal and service history:** I was born on 27 May 1923 in Fuerth, Germany. Social persecution forced my family to emigrate to the United States in 1938. On 26 February 1943, I was inducted into the United States Army. In June 1945 I became a naturalized citizen of the United States. From March until June 1943 I underwent basic training in Camp Croft, S.C. Then followed my assignment to ASTP. After the termination of ASTP in April 1944 I was assigned to the 84th Inf. Div. with which I went overseas in Sept 1944. In Nov. 1944 I was appointed as Special Agent in the Counter-Intelligence Corps. By February 1945 I was placed in charge of a Regimental Counter-Intelligence Corps team. Our principle tasks were the prevention of espionage and sabotage, such as the large-scale German penetration efforts during the Battle of the Bulge.

In June 1945 I was placed in charge of a static Counter-Intelligence team in an area of 180,000 population, with primary tasks of de-Nazification and combatting foreign infiltration efforts.

Believing that the experiences thus gained would be of value to intelligence agents coming into the theater, I agreed on June 1945 to instruct for

one year at the European Command Intelligence School in a civilian capacity. I am enclosing statements demonstrating the nature of the subjects taught. My contract with the European Command Intelligence School expires at 30 June 1947 and I expect to have returned to the United States by that time or shortly thereafter.

**Awards and Citations:** I was awarded the Bronze Star by Major General Alexander Bolling, CE, of the 84th Division in April 1945. I am enclosing the citation as well as several other letters of commendation I obtained.

**Educational Aims:** I am interested in a general Liberal Arts education, with a view of obtaining a degree in Political Science and English.

**Interview with a Counsellor:** I will be glad to come to Cambridge for such an interview. Since exigencies of the service make my return to the United States difficult to be scheduled exactly, I would appreciate your making a definite appointment for me for any time after 15 July 1947. I would greatly appreciate your making the appointment so that I can take the Special Aptitude Test for Veterans during my stay in Cambridge.

I am enclosing two self-addressed return envelopes. I would be very grateful to you if you were to send a copy of your reply, both to my home address and to my military address. If this proves impossible, please use my civilian address.

I am enclosing a photostatic copy of my discharge certificate.

Thanking you for your consideration, I remain

AUTO-BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

I was born on May 27th, 1923 in Fuerth, Germany. My father was Department Head of Geography at a Girl's secondary school (Lyceum). In 1938 racial persecution forced my family to emigrate to the U.S.

**My educational background:** In Germany I attended the Realschule (roughly comparable to High School) in Fuerth and the Preparatory School for Teachers in Wuerzburg. From 1938-1941 I attended George Washington High School in New-York-City. Upon graduation economic considerations forced me to accept employment with the Leopold-Ascher Corp., 22 West 15 Street, New-York, N.Y. In order to further my education, until such time as my finances would allow my entering college on a full-time basis, I attended evening courses at the College of the City of New-York attaining in all subjects an average of "A". While with the Armed Forces, I was enrolled in ASTP at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa. from October 1943 to April 1944.

**Significant Service Experiences:** Upon my arrival in the European Theater in September 1944 I was assigned to the 84th Counter-Intelligence team, which was charged with the security of the 84th Infantry Division during combat operations. After serving in Holland and Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge, where a large-scale German penetration effort was negated, I was assigned as agent-in-charge of the Counter-Intelligence team maintaining security of the area of the 335th Infantry Regiment during combat operations in Germany. Our principal mission was prevention of enemy intelligence. To achieve that end, it was necessary to understand the social and political background of the German people in our area, in order to discover potential trouble spots.

Upon completion of hostilities I was placed, in July 1945, in operational charge of Counter-Intelligence team 970/59, charged with static intelligence in an area of 180,000. Our team thereupon commenced a survey of every stratum of civilian life, such as industry, professions, trade and commerce and the civil service. From July until December 1945, the information thus obtained served as a nucleus in determining de-nazification criteria.

From December 1945 to June 1946 our mission gradually changed, concentrating again on foreign penetration efforts.

Mr. Henry A. Kissinger

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I am pleased to inform you that on August 7, 1947, the Committee on Admission voted to admit you to Harvard College.

Enclosed is a Certificate of Admission which entitles you to enter as a candidate for the degree of A. B. in the September 1947 term only. Shortly before the beginning of the term you will be informed of the procedure to be followed on Registration Day, September 18. If you are unable to register for the September 1947 term, it will be necessary for you to renew your application. No commitments can be made as to favorable consideration and it should be pointed out that after September 1947 the general admission policy will not permit men to be admitted as undergraduates until September 1948.

I am enclosing herewith a Bond and Room Application for you to fill out and return to the Bursar of Harvard University, as well as a copy of the Announcement of the Committee on Admission which gives information pertaining to enrollment at Harvard College.

An evaluation of any academic credit which you may have earned while in the armed services will be made as soon as possible, but it will not be available until Registration Day. I must warn you, however, that regardless of the amount of credit you may have, Harvard requires a minimum of four terms of Harvard study for the undergraduate degree.

English Aa and Ab, courses in English composition, will be required of you unless you take and pass the anticipatory examination offered here on September 19. No student is obliged to take this examination but all veterans are allowed and encouraged to do so.

I hope that your career at Harvard College will prove enjoyable and successful.

HARVARD COLLEGE

CERTIFICATE OF ADMISSION

CAMBRIDGE,

Henry Alfred Kissinger .................................................. is hereby admitted to
Harvard College as a candidate for the degree of A. B.

A candidate who does not intend to enter Harvard in the term for which he has applied should notify the Committee on Admission at the earliest possible moment.

Chairman of Committee on Admission

INFORMATION FOR INCOMING STUDENTS

1947-48

CALENDAR

In 1947-48 the regular offering of instruction in Harvard College will be given in the Fall and Spring Terms, beginning September 19th and ending May 29th. In addition a limited number of courses will be offered in a Summer Term of twelve weeks' duration from June 13th to September 6th, 1947, intended mainly for veterans who wish to shorten the period of their undergraduate study.

New students who have served in the armed forces may begin their college work in either the Summer or Fall Terms. New students who have not served in the armed forces may begin their college work only in the Fall Term. No new students will be accepted in the Spring Term.

CERTIFICATES OF ADMISSION

A certificate of admission granted this year will hold good in any future year, provided the candidate's record in the meantime is satisfactory to the Committee on Admission. Notice of intention to register in any given year must be given to the Committee on Admission well in advance of the time when the candidate desires to enter. Registration of students discharged from the armed forces will be subject to the approval of the Medical Department.

No grades received in the admission examinations can be given to candidates; and no statement is made of grades of honor quality. If a student coming directly from school is entitled to take an anticipatory examination in English or has met the language requirement, it will be so stated on the admission certificate. Any veteran who wishes may take the anticipatory examination in English (see below).

VACCINATION CERTIFICATES

Students registering for the first time in Harvard College must file with the Registrar, 3 University Hall, Cambridge, a physician's certificate showing (1) successful vaccination within the last five years, or (2) three unsuccessful vaccinations during that period, or (3) evidence of having had smallpox. This certificate must be filed in advance of registration. Veterans, other than former members of the Merchant Marine and American Field Service, need not file vaccination certificates.

REGISTRATION, ADVISERS, COURSES

Incoming students will register as follows before the opening of the term in which they wish to enter College.

<table><thead><tr><th></th><th>Registration of<br>Incoming Students</th><th>Beginning<br>of Term</th><th>End of<br>Term</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Summer Term</td><td>June 13, 1947</td><td>June 16</td><td>September 6</td></tr><tr><td>Fall Term</td><td>September 18 & 19, 1947</td><td>September 22</td><td>January 28</td></tr></tbody></table>

The weekend previous to the opening of each term will be devoted by incoming students to introductory meetings, conferences with Faculty Advisers, placement tests for those students who have studied certain subjects in school without having been examined in them in the

College Board tests, and other appointments to be arranged. Because of the importance of
these preliminary meetings, registration on the days announced is required; a new student who
fails to register on time may be refused the privilege of registration during that term.

Full information about registration, introductory meetings, courses of instruction, etc.,
will be mailed to each admitted student. Notice of assignment to a Faculty Adviser will be
found in the registration envelope.

## ENGLISH

English A, a full course in English composition, is required of all students in Harvard
College unless they have secured exemption by satisfactory work in English composition in a
college course taken elsewhere or by passing an anticipatory examination. This examination
may be taken on the day of registration by the following: (a) students returning from serv-
ice in the armed forces; (b) students who have studied in other colleges; (c) those students
entering from school who have shown a certain degree of proficiency in the Scholastic Apti-
tude Test of the College Board. Students entering directly from school who are eligible to
take the anticipatory examination will be notified by a rubber stamp on the certificate of ad-
mission; if this certificate does *not* bear a stamp indicating eligibility for the English examina-
tion, students entering directly from school are *not* eligible for this examination.

A special examination in English will also be given on the day of registration to those
students coming from foreign countries whose native language is not English and who have
not been notified that they are eligible for the anticipatory examination. This special exam-
ination will determine whether the student should take English A or English B (a special course for foreign students).

The prescribed course in English must be taken beginning with the first term of residence, if the course is offered (English Aa will not be given in the Summer Term and English Ab will not be given in the Fall Term 1947).

## LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

The certificate of admission will notify the candidate when he has satisfied means of a
College Board Examination the degree requirement as to a reading knowledge of a foreign lan-
guage. Otherwise this requirement must be met by the end of the fifth term of college resi-
dence, as described in the pamphlets which will be sent.

## RULES FOR RESIDENCE — ROOM APPLICATIONS

Each new student must fill out and return to the Bursar, Lehman Hall, Cambridge 38, the
blank enclosed with the certificate of admission, either applying for a room in the college
dormitories or stating where he will live if he intends to live at home or with relatives. The
bond which is attached to this blank must be fully executed, whether or not the student intends
to live at the college.

Under Faculty rules, all undergraduates not living at home or with relatives must live and
take their meals in college buildings. Exceptions to this rule of residence may be granted only
by the Dean's Office. Students living within commuting distance may apply for rooms at the
college if they wish to do so, but because of the present crowding of dormitories it is anticipated
that applications from such men entering in September cannot be filled, at least in their first
term in college. Applications from such men will be kept on file and acted on as vacancies
occur, with priority to those who have to commute the greatest distance. It is, however, ex-

pected that all students who will require more than forty-five minutes for travel from their homes to Harvard Square will be provided for in the dormitories in the first assignment.

New veterans entering in the Summer Term will be assigned to rooms in Claverly, Grays, Matthews, Straus and Wigglesworth Halls and will take their meals according to assignment in one of the college dining halls to be specified later. Summer Term assignments are temporary and are subject to change for the Fall Term.

The normal price of rooms in the dormitories and Houses varies from $75 to $200 per man for each sixteen-week term, but appropriate reductions in the price per man will be made when more than the usual number of occupants is assigned to a suite, as will probably be necessary in 1947-48 in a large number of cases. Summer Term rents will be four-fifths of those for the regular sixteen-week term. The room rent covers heating, light and care, but does not include telephone. Each suite consists ordinarily of a study and one or more bedrooms, although in some dormitories there are a few single bedrooms without studies; almost all suites have fireplaces. The rooms are furnished with beds, pillows, bureaus, desks, chairs, tables, and bookcases; but students who wish to use their own furniture may do so. Students are expected to furnish their own bed linen, blankets, towels, etc., and allowances should be made for delays in laundry service. The present board rate, subject to change if food costs rise further, is $11.50 per week.

It is hoped that room assignments will be completed ten days before the opening of the term, and notices will be sent out as soon as possible thereafter. Rooms will be ready for occupancy on the day before registration but not before, except in the Summer Term when they will be ready on June 11th.

## THE HARVARD UNION

New Freshmen in residence in the Fall Term will be assigned to dormitories in the Yard, or to other College dormitories nearby (Apley, Claverly, Dudley, and Little Halls) and will take their meals at the Harvard Union. The Harvard Union, which was established in 1901 as a social and educational center for all undergraduates, is now used for the same purpose for all Freshmen, whether or not in residence, and for upperclassmen in residence not yet assigned to Houses. Freshmen living at home are welcome at the Union at all times, either for meals, which may be obtained at the single meal or weekly rates, or for the use of the Union Library, common rooms, and for the various activities which are organized by the students themselves at the Union. In addition, students living at home are eligible for membership in the Commuters' Center in Dudley Hall, where a cafeteria and lockers are provided and various athletic and other activities are organized for participation in intra-mural undergraduate affairs. The charge for membership in the Commuters' Center is $5. a term. Meals will not be served in the cafeteria during the Summer Term.

NOTE

In order to prevent the returning veteran from undertaking
study at Harvard before he is ready to do so, the University
asks all ex-servicemen to secure the approval of the Hygiene
Department before registration. After admission a physical exam-
ination is required of all entering Harvard students.

Since it is difficult in many cases for admission candidates
to come to Cambridge for a personal interview with the University
physician, the Hygiene Department is providing this blank, on
which the applicant may submit the necessary confidential information.

If you will fill out this form and seal it in an envelope
addressed to the Hygiene Department it will be delivered sealed
to the University physician, who will naturally consider any in-
formation given on this questionnaire as strictly confidential.

Columbia University
SCHOOL OF GENERAL STUDIES APTITUDE EXAMINATION

525 WEST 120th STREET, NEW YORK 27, N. Y.

The next Columbia University School of General Studies Aptitude Examination will be given on

Candidates should report at 1:45 P. M. in Room 309, Havemeyer Hall. Enter campus at 117th Street and Broadway. Candidates should have two sharpened pencils with them. No candidate will be admitted to the examination after the test is begun.

## THE NATURE OF THE EXAMINATION

The Columbia University School of General Studies Aptitude Examination is like the test that has been used for the last twenty-five years to select candidates for admission to Columbia College or equivalent undergraduate instruction in the University.

As developed, the examination consists of two parts. The first is a fifty minute test of general information and of arithmetical and mathematical reasoning. The second part is a sixty minute test of reading ability.

Low scores on part I may indicate limited educational opportunities and poor mathematical ability; low scores on part II may indicate poor reading habits, restricted vocabulary or limited educational advantages.

The aptitude examination is intended primarily as an aid in counseling and advising students. A candidate making a low score on the aptitude examination will not get the most out of the college. Such candidates are advised to take advantage of services available for diagnosis and correction of disabilities.

## SAMPLE TESTS

### Part I

## Part II

Three sample sub-tests from this part are given below. About eight minutes is allowed for each passage.

### SAMPLE A

Read this paragraph. Then read the questions. Make a check before the best answer to each question. Read the paragraph again as much as is necessary.

The geographical position of Sicily led almost as a matter of necessity to its historical position, as the meeting-place of the nations, the battlefield of contending races and creeds. For this reason, too, Sicily was never in historic times (nor, it seems, in prehistoric times either) the land of a single nation; her history exists mainly in its relation to the history of other lands. Lying nearer to the mainland of Europe and nearer to Africa than any other of the great Mediterranean islands, Sicily is, next to Spain, the connecting link between those two quarters of the world. It stands also as a breakwater between the eastern and western divisions of the Mediterranean Sea. In prehistoric times these two divisions were two vast lakes, and Sicily is a surviving fragment of the land which once united the two continents. That Sicily and Africa were once joined we know only from modern scientific research; that Sicily and Italy were once joined is handed down in legend. Sicily then, comparatively near to Africa, but much nearer to Europe, has been a European land, but one specially open to invasion and settlement from Africa. It has been a part of western Europe, but a part which has had specially close relations with eastern Europe. It has stood at various times in close connection with Greece, Africa, and Spain; but its closer connection has been with Italy. Still the history of Sicily should never be looked on as simply part of the history of Italy.

What is suggested as a main cause of Sicilian history?

1. It has been a battlefield of races and creeds.

2. Its geographical position.

3. Its interrelations in a series of conflicts.

4. Its proximity to Italy and Africa.

What two facts about Sicily's location are of special importance?

5. It has been a battlefield of races and creeds.

6. It has been a part of western Europe.

7. It is a breakwater between the eastern Mediterranean and the western.

8. It is a link between Europe and Africa.

Against what too narrow views of the history of Sicily is the reader warned?

9. Not to associate the history of Sicily with the history of Italy.

10. Sicily has been only a battlefield.

11. Sicilian history is simply a part of Italian history.

12. Sicily is merely a part of Italy.

SAMPLE B

Read this paragraph. Then read the questions.
Make a check before the best answer to each ques-
tion. Read the paragraph again as much as is necessary.

Though the spar torpedo has scored some successes,
it was mainly because the means of defense against it at
that time were inefficient. The ship trusted solely to her
heavy gun and rifle fire to repel the attack. The noise,
smoke, and difficulty of hitting a small object at night
with a piece that could probably be discharged but once
before the boat arrived, while rifle bullets would not stop
its advance, favored the attack. When a number of small
guns and electric lights were added to a ship's equipment,
success with an outrigger torpedo became nearly, if not
entirely, impossible. Attention was then turned in the
direction of giving motion to the torpedo and steering it
to the required point by electric wires worked from the
shore or from another vessel; or, dispensing with say
such connection, of devising a torpedo which would travel
under water in a given direction by means of self-con-
tained motive power and machinery. Of the former type
are the Lay, Sims-Edison and Brennan torpedoes. The
first two — electrically steered by a wire which trails
behind the torpedo — have insufficient speed to be of
practical value, and are no longer used. The Brennan
torpedo, carrying a charge of explosive, travels under
water and is propeled by unwinding two drums or reels
of fine steel wire within the torpedo. The rotation of
these reels is communicated to the propellers, causing the
torpedo to advance. The ends of the wires are connected
to an engine on shore to give rapid unwinding and in-
creased speed to the torpedo. It is steered by varying
the speeding of unwinding the two wires. This torpedo was
adopted by the British war office for harbor defense and
the protection of narrow channels.

What other word is used in the paragraph with the
same meaning as spar?

1. Brennan.

2. Outrigger.

3. Piece.

4. Reel.

What advantage over a rifle has a small gun in
repelling spar torpedo attacks?

5. Faster and more powerful.

6. Gun could stop the advance of the boat.

7. More shots can be fired.

8. Noise and smoke.

9. Rifle bullets no result.

When the spar torpedo was abandoned to what lines
did invention betake itself? Check two.

10. Control by wires.

11. Increasing speed.

12. Motion for the torpedo.

13. Outrigger torpedoes.

14. Steering for the torpedo.

What was the difficulty with the Sims-Edison tor-
pedo?

15. Had to be steered from the shore.

16. Insufficient speed.

17. The propeller.

Why did the Brennan torpedo have two propellers?

18. For the sake of speed.

19. It was steered by varying the rates of the pro-
pellers.

20. Rotation causes advance.

21. There were two reels.

22. To keep the torpedo submerged.

Could the Brennan torpedo be controlled from a
ship?

23. Yes.

24. No.

What use of it was made by the British war depart-
ment?

25. Harbor defense.

26. In battles.

27. Slight.

Do you think it was the army or the navy that used it?

28. Army.

29. Navy.

30. Yes.

(LC)

## SAMPLE C

*Read the paragraphs. Write answers to the questions.*

The word "Impressionist" has come to have a more general application in England than in France, where it took currency as the nickname of a definite group of painters exhibiting together, and was adopted by themselves during the conflict of opinion which the novelty of their art excited. The word therefore belongs to the class of nicknames or battle-names, like "Romanticist," "Naturalist," "Realist," which preceded it, words into which the acuteness of controversy infuses more of theoretical purport than the work of the artists denoted suggests to later times. The painters included in such a "school" differ so much among themselves, and so little from their predecessors compared with the points of likeness, that we may well see in these recurring effervescences of official and popular distaste rather the shock of individual force in the artist measured against contemporary mediocrity than the disturbance of a new doctrine. The "Olympia" of Manet, hooted at the Salon of 1865 as subversive of all tradition, decency and beauty, strikes the visitor to the Luxembourg rather as the reversion to a theme of Titian by an artist of ruder vision than as the demonstration of a revolutionary in painting. Later developments of the school do appear to us revolutionary.

1. a. Does the paragraph concern Impressionist in the narrower or in the wider sense? ....................................

b. Were the Impressionists of France much alike? ..................................................

c. Was their early work subversive of all tradition? ..................................................

2. a. Did it seem revolutionary at the time? ..................................................

b. Did they become more like their predecessors as they continued their work? ....................................

c. Is it the tendency of terms like Impressionist to increase in importance for the theory of art as time goes on? ....................................

3. Were the recurring effervescences effervescences of Impressionism, or the Olympia, or the disturbance of a new doctrine, or dislike for Impressionism, or a revision? ....................................

## APPLICATION AND FEES

Every candidate for Columbia University School of General Studies is required to file a formal application for the Columbia University School of General Studies Aptitude Examination. Applications may be obtained at the examination room at the time of the examination.

The fee for the examination is $3.00 and is not refundable. The examination fee must accompany the application. Money orders and checks should be made payable to the Institute of Psychological Research.

## REPORTS

The score will be reported separately to the candidate and to the Office of University Admissions within five days of administering the examination.

All communication concerning scores or admission should be directed to the Office of University Admissions, Columbia University, New York 27, N. Y.

Columbia University
in the City of New York

*Information for Servicemen and Servicewomen*

1. Columbia University will make its facilities available as widely as possible to men and women returning from the various services. The organization of the University permits considerable flexibility in programs and will adjust itself to the needs of those seeking college or graduate and professional courses. Technical and vocational courses in certain fields are also offered.

2. The Servicemen's Readjustment Act, approved June 22, 1944, as amended, provides educational training at government expense at an approved educational institution of the veteran's own selection for those who qualify under the regulations.

3. Any veteran who has served in active service for ninety days or more is eligible to receive one year's educational training at government expense under the provisions of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act. If he completes the first year of training satisfactorily, he is entitled to an additional period of training equal to that spent in the Service. This may include, for the properly qualified applicant, training at the graduate and professional as well as the undergraduate level.

4. The veteran's expenses for tuition, fees, and required books and equipment, up to $500 per academic year, will be paid by the government through the Veterans Administration. Under certain circumstances, this maximum of $500.00 per academic year can be increased. This may be done at the expense, however, of the veteran's eligibility time. In addition, he will receive $65 a month for subsistence, or $90 if he has dependents. If he attends school the year round under an accelerated program, he will be entitled to a maximum of $750 for tuition expenses for the twelve-month period. If he attends on a part-time basis, the subsistence allowance will be reduced or denied, as determined by the Veterans Administration.

5. Application should be made on Veterans Administration Form 1950, which can be obtained, after discharge, from the University Registrar or from regional offices of the Veterans Administration. (The New York regional office is located at 252 Seventh Avenue [near 24th Street], New York 11, N. Y.)

6. The above provisions are those of Public Law No. 346, as amended, known as the Service-men's Readjustment Act or the G. I. Bill of Rights. Public Law 16 of the 78th Congress, as amended, providing for rehabilitation of the disabled, also makes provision for education. Veterans eligible under Public Law 16 should ascertain their rights under that Act before electing the benefits of Public Law 346.

7. Men still in service may well seek advice and information in advance from the college of their choice. They should furnish full information including:

(a) Nonmilitary credentials for secondary school, college, and university work completed before entering service. If the applicant cannot readily arrange for the submission of transcripts, he may authorize the University to request them on his behalf.

(b) Military credentials for work completed after entering service, including United States Armed Forces Institute courses, if any, and special training while in service of a sort that might assist in establishing his preparation for further work in special fields.

It should be noted, however, that applications for admission to the University can be considered and acted upon only in relation to a specific date for admission. Accordingly it is suggested that formal application be deferred until the date of discharge from military service is fixed or reasonably certain.

8. In Columbia College, the School of Engineering, and the School of Business, consideration will be given to records of work, including examinations, taken with the United States Armed Forces Institute; entrance and advanced-standing credit may be allowed for such work in subjects normally accepted or required for degree credit, upon recommendation of the appropriate departmental officer. Information concerning the U.S.A.F.I. may be obtained from post librarians, special officers, or by mail from the Institute at Madison 3, Wisconsin.

Since it will not be possible to shorten materially the period of residence required for a degree, those taking courses through U.S.A.F.I. may well devote their attention to reviewing and supplementing their previous education in order to be prepared to resume their studies promptly after discharge.

9. Returning Columbia College students may receive ten points credit for twelve months or more of Army or Navy service, with additional credit possible for training in fields where academic credit is ordinarily allowed.

10. The University will make to returning servicemen whatever concessions are possible without lowering the standard and impairing the prestige of the degree for which these men are candidates.

11. The University must, of course, satisfy itself that the applicant is prepared to do the work required by his proposed program, but it will allow him to progress as fast as his abilities permit.

12. Men who have entered college or completed their preparation for college before entering the service will naturally consider continuing with the college course, turning perhaps more promptly than they otherwise would to a professional option in the later years.

13. The government plan will give to many veterans an opportunity to obtain training which they were unable to finance before they entered the Army. The selection of such a course must be made after consideration of various factors, such as age, time available, aptitude, and chance of suitable openings after training. Vocational counsel will be furnished both by the Veterans Administration and by the University.

14. The principal schools, the departments, and the special courses are listed in the accompanying table with the degrees offered and the admission requirements.

Appropriate announcements will be furnished without charge upon application to the Secretary of the University. Under current Post Office regulations, however, the announcements cannot be mailed to Army personnel overseas.

15. Summer Session offers six weeks' courses beginning early in July.

16. University Extension offers a wide range of courses which may be used in satisfaction of the requirements for a bachelor's degree in General Studies or for entrance to professional schools.

17. "Short," "special," and "refresher" courses are not announced at present but may be organized if required.

18. The Veterans Administration permits the veteran to supplement his government income by working full or part time, providing the total of his earned income plus subsistence does not exceed $175 per month for a single student and $200 per month for a student with a dependent.

19. Columbia University has organized a Veterans Counselling Service which is available for servicemen and women. Detailed information about Columbia and the rights of veterans under the educational section of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended, can be obtained there Monday through Friday from 9 to 5 and Saturday from 9 to 12. This office is located at 116th Street and Broadway temporarily in Low Memorial Library and permanently in the new University Veteran Center as soon as that building is completed.
