Four students took their final flight exam in the University's training courses last week and have now received their private pilot licenses, authorities at Dennison airport announced yesterday. The students are David W. Bensley '40, John C. Lacy '42, Richard E. Moot '42, and Lothrop Withington, Jr. '42.
