The Office of Student Placement has compiled for students in the University the current regulations regarding the enlistment and commissions policies of the various Armed Services. This revised data supercedes a series of regulations published in December. The various policies will be published in the CRIMSON during the examination period.

GENERAL:

The various policies outlined below are, of course, subject to change daily. However, they represent current regulations regarding the various opportunities in the Services. As changes are made, efforts will be made to publish them.

Step 1--Under the Selective Service Act of 1946 all males between the ages of 18 and 26 are required to register with their local draft boards. In the event a student reaching the age of 18 finds it inconvenient to register at his home board, he may register with the Cambridge Local Board 17, a branch of which is located in Phillips Brooks House. The Cambridge Board will forward the registration to individual draft boards in other parts of the country.
