IV-D--Minsters or divinity students.

IV-E--Conscientious objectors who object to both combatant and non-combatant service.

IV-F--Physically, mentally, or morally unfit.

V-A--Men who have passed their 26th birthday.

Step 3--Those who receive a classification card indicating they are I-A, and who were in the upper half of their class during their previous college year (Note: This excludes Freshmen, who have no previous college year unless they are repeating. Graduate students use their last undergraduate year), may request a statement to this effect from the Registrar of the College (University Hall B). (Note: Graduate students from other colleges must obtain this statement from their own college), and send it to their local boards requesting that they be placed in deferred Class II-A. This may or may not be granted at the discretion of the local board. If II-A is granted, then no further action will be taken by the local board until the time indicated for expiration of the deferment (usually 1 July 1951). At the time of expiration of deferment, the individual case will be reviewed by the board, and the registrant either will be reclassified I-A, or his deferment will be extended. This latter will depend upon the policies, not yet determined, of Selective Service at that time.

Step 4--If a registrant is classified I-A, he will receive in due course an order to report for a pre-induction physical examination. (Note: If he has been able to obtain a II-A classification, he will not receive this order until after he has been reclassified I-A again). This examination may be taken at the Boston Army Base, 666 Summer Street, if the registrant's local board is far away, Registrants receiving such orders should report to their local boards at the time designated, or to Cambridge Local Board 17, Phillips Brooks House. In some cases, at the request of the registrant this order for pre-induction physical examination will be delayed until the end of the college year in June, even though he was not in the upper half of his class last year. The advantage of such delay is that it allows for flexibility of choice of service in June. It is important to note that any person who has received an order to report for pre-induction physical examination (the postmark on the notice is the crucial date) is frozen for Selective Service, and may not under any circumstances enlist, in any branch of the service. Currently the Army is the only Service using the Selective Service, but this does not mean that a man who is drafted will end up in the Infantry, although many will. It is also pertinent that all drafted men in the Army are eligible for OCS, and most college men will make the grade.

Step 5--Induction will take place some time after the pre-induction physical examination, but in no case will a student be inducted prior to the end of the college year. This is part of the Selective Service Act, and not left to the discretion of local boards.
