O UR SIDE OF THE STORY
To All F. & M. Men:
Many of our alumni, and you may be
one of them, tried to get a boy into college this /all without success. The purpose of this article is to explain briefly
some of the trying problems and situations we faced during the past six months.
Our normal enrollment, as fixed by the
faculty was approximately 800 men. During the last November to February semester
we had 419 students and during the February to Jun e semester we had 797 students.
Since last fall we have been
besieged with applications from new students as well as from hundreds o/ our
former Nazry V-12 and non V-12 men who
wanted to return to the campus this fall
in order to resume their studies.
Th e question of how much we could increase our total student body this fall was
given careful and detailed study. After consultation involving trustees, faculty and staff
the decision was made to expand our enrollment to 1000 men. We also decided
that our own former students should be
readmitted be/ore we accepted any new
students. As the result of two communications sent out during last winter and
spring to all our former students we were
made to realize that we would hit the 1000
mark WITHOUT admitting any NEW
students.
We wanted, of course, to have a Freshman class this fall and so the maximum
level was again changed. By March 20th
we had some 900 applications of new stndcnts in process and then realized that we
would be able to admit only about one
out of three of these men. Since that date
we have sent out over three thousand
vania Federation of Churches and
John Charles Thomas, Metropolitan
Opera star.
mimeographed post cards in reply to inquiries announcing that no more applicants would be considered. Some of yuur
candidates might have been in this g roup
and we regret that it was necessary to turn
down so many boys. Included in this group
were valedictorians, honor students, fullbacks, shortstops, wrestlers, 100 yd. dash
men, and musicians, but no pre-ministerial
students. Exceptions were made in such
cases.
You may know that all the colleges of
the State, under the leadership of President Distler who is president of the Pennsylvania College Presidents Association,
together with the State Department of
Public Instruction, have set up Emergency
Colleges in many communities throughout
the state to care for some 24,000 boys and
girls who could not gain admittance to a
college campus. The work in these Emergency Centers covers only the freshman
year and accredited courses, satisfactorily
completed, may be used /or advanced
standing in transferring to a collP.ge
campus in September 1947. Our admissions office turned over the names of almost two hundred boys from Lancaster
city and county to the local Emergency
College as candidates for admission. These
boys wanted to enter Franklin and Marshall but could not be admitted because of
lack of classroom and laboratory space nnd
su/Jicient faculty.
The student body now numbers 1264 including 301 Freshmen which is the smallest
of the four classes.
We need and hope for the continued
interest and loyalty of all our alumni in
the years to come and felt that you should
know som ething of our trials and tribulations during a period of the greatest educational upsurge in American history.

Director of Admissions.

Prominent Amateurs
Added To Coaching Staff
Franklin and Marshall opened its

the largest student enrollment in the
history of the College. The student

the G. I. Bill of Rights.
on-veteran students tot:;tl 291 and the freshmen class, 301.
Much credit for the efficient operation of the abnormal registration
and solving of the accompanying
housing problem is due to acting
dean Daniel Z. Gibson, J. Shober
Barr, dean of admissions, and Walter H. Doner, superintendent of
grounds and buildings.
It was
through their planning that we were
well prepared to handle the load.
Every student is adequately housed
and except for crowded class rooms
we seem to be able to withstand the
"bulge." In view of delayed openings at some institutions, inadequate
or insufficient housing, we were fortunate in being able to admit thirty
per cent more students than ever before on the Campus of Franklin and
Marshall without emergency or temporary housing facilities. Of course,
the permanent renovations in Hartman Hall which now hou es all the
freshmen boarding student aided
immeasurably in meeting the housing
emergency.
Citizens of Lancaster al o had an
important part in overcoming the student housing shortage. More than 100
rooms were offered for rent to college students as a result of a door
to door campaign conducted by the
College under the direction of Dean
Barr. In many instances additional
furniture and fixtures were purchased by town-folks "just to help
out." Their excellent cooperation
was gratifying to all of us at the
College.
Through the medium of the
Alumnus the College wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all
Lanca ter City and County alumni
who offered to rent rooms during
the present emergency.

the event, and runner-up in the ational Intercollegiates at the Equinox Country Club, Vermont, in 1940,

the three top amateurs in the Philadelphia district. The new F. & M. men tor has been playing since he was
twelve years of age. He attended Hill
School for two years, and graduated
from warthmore in 1940. It was
during his undergraduate days at
Swarthmore that Haverstick prung
into national prominence and took
his place among the nation's leading
amateurs.
The glare of the spotlight first hit
him in 1938 when at nineteen he
waded through the Pennsylvania
amateur ranks to beat Jack Benson
of Pittsburgh for the crown. In going to the finals of this event the local
youngster also defeated Knox Young
of Pitt burgh, a former State titleholder. Haverstick represented the

Renovations Completed
In Hartman Hall
Extensive renovations to the interior of Hartman Hall, formerly the
main building of Franklin and Marshall Academy, were completed in
time for the opening of the fall term.
The building is now known on the
Campus as Hartman Hall, named in
honor of E dwin M. Hartman, '95, retired headmaster. The portion of the
building, formerly known as Kepler
Chapel, was replaced with twenty-six
double rooms enlarging the capacity
sufficient to house all freshmen boarding students. The main lobby has
been repainted and indirect lighting
fixtures installed. New flo orin g of
black and cream linoleum blocks was
laid in the main lobby. The dining
room was painted and refurnished
for the freshmen boarding students
who will live and eat in Hartman
Hall for their entire freshmen year.
