Arnold's Story: June 13, 1947

Arnold's Caltech graduation announcement and commencement program from June 1947. He graduated with a bachelors in Physics. The class should have graduated during World War II (1944–1945) but the ceremony was delayed on account of the large number of graduates serving in the military during the war.

Arnold never wavered in his plan to become a Presbyterian medical missionary, and here we see a receipt from Harvard Medical School. Perhaps it is an application fee since he does not graduate from Caltech until June 1947.

Arnold's Story: circa 1947

I was not going to include these scribblings with spellings as they add little of interest to this blog, but there is a list of names on one of them. I am not even sure of the date — these were in a parcel of letters dated 1947. The Vanderbilt Hall in the text of the card suggests it is the medical school residence of Harvard Medical School, as Arnold had started there in the autumn of 1947.
