200 Freshmen Enter W.P.I.; Others Enroll Tomorrow

Published in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, September 1947

Two hundred freshmen today began their four-year career at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the same way they will end it -- taking examinations. The incoming class this morning spent three hours taking aptitude tests in the electrical engineering building.

Upper classmen will enroll tomorrow following the first general assembly at 9:30 a.m. Rear Adm. Way Tyler Cluverius, president, will welcome the students. Rev. Walter Donald Kring, minister of the First Unitarian Church, will give the invocation.
