Members of the faculty in the Arny rena Prograzs

May I call to your attention the necessity of teiten
any low marke for Army boys at the end of 8 weeks in my
office not later than Monday noon, Oct. 4th, This is
a requirement of the Omaha office, since our report of
boys to be withdraw must be submitted soon thereafter,
and it is necessary that we interview each boy before
sending his name on the report.

As a result of the stiff pace of the army program,
nearly fifty boys have withdrawn from the program, or
will have done so early this week. Some of these left
voluntarily, and some by request, In addition, sixty-five
boys are being withdraw from the regular program and
placed in a "refresher" program for the remeinder of
this term, Thus a total of more than 100 boys who have

found the progrem too difficult heave been removed from nw. py
your classes, which is approximately 14 percent. ‘ ql

In addition to the report of Dor F, please indicate
on each card for a student whether, in your judgment, the
boy will probably fail or probably pass at the end of the
term, We do not expect complete accuracy in these esti-
mations, but we must have some idea of the probable number
of replacements we shall need,

Also, will you indicate, as before, any students whe
are doing outstanding work, or A grade, and so mark this
on a separate card for each such boy, under Remarks.
