A scheme for Examination of War Students was introduced by the Senate in 1918. Students who had served in the war, undertaken other work relating to national defence, or been interned were granted certain exemptions from examination regulations. A card register (reference EC5/1) contains details of these students in alphabetical order by surname. Non-searchable images of these cards are below.
