REQUIRDIENTS FOR ADMISSION TO UNDERGRADUATE STANDING 85
Regular entrance examinations will be held at the Institute Saturday,
March 15, and Saturday, March 22,1941. Applicants should report
in the Lounge of Dabney Hall March 15, at 8: 3 0 a.m. The examinations
on March 15 will be chemistry and English and on March 22
mathematics and physics. The examinations in chemistry and English
for high school juniors will be held in Dabney Hall on June 14, 1941.
Students living at a distance from Pasadena may, upon request, be
allowed to take the entrance examinations under the supervision of
their local school authorities. Arrangements for examinations in
absentia should include a letter to the Registrar from the individual
directing the tests stating that the required supervision wiII be given.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Each applicant must pass a physical examination prior to admission
to the Institute. These examinations will be conducted for the
Institute by the staff of the Huntington Memorial Hospital. At the
time of his registration each new student will be assigned an appointment
for his examination. Registrations are tentative pending such
examinations, and are subject to cancellation if the examinations are
unsatisfactory. Students living at a distance are advised to consult
their family physicians before coming to Pasadena in order to avoid
unnecessary expense if physical defects exist which would prevent
successful scholastic work. Every student entering the Institute for
the first time must be vaccinated upon admission or bring a certificate
from a physician that he has been vaccinated not earlier than
one month before admission. Those students who refuse to be vaccinated
will be denied admission to the Institute.
APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Application for admission to the Institute may be made at any time,
but there is a distinct advantage in doing so by the first of March, or
even earlier. This enables the Institute to make full use of all information
available from high school sources. Applicants should submit
their scholastic records before taking the entrance examinations. Each
