SAVES MONEY and INCREASES OPPORTUNITY

It saves TIME - die three 15-week semesters within the calendar year permit the bachelor's degree in 2 2/3 calendar years. the Law degree can be obtained in 10 semesters or 3 1/3 calendar years, and the combination Arts- Law or Commerce-Law degrees in 12 semesters, or 4 calendar years. It saves MONEY costs have been reduced for the semester, since board and room are figured on a 15-week instead of an 18-week basis. the economic waste of long vacations, in many cases with no job for the student, is eliminated. the use of the degree is possible a year to two years sooner in entering business, professional or government fields. It prevents DELAY and INTERRUPTION - die 17-year-old high school graduate can receive his degree, even his law degree, by the time he is eligible for the present military selective service. and if he is interrupted for any semester, he can resume—except for one or two specialized upper- class courses—without any sacrifice of time or credit, in any semester thereafter. It increases OPPORTUNITY - the man with a college degree has additional opportunities in both civil and military life which are, by this new program, extended to the young man of today as well as to those who have had more time to prepare. and the young man who must still work his way in part finds that he has a longer period, the semester, in which he can stay out to work, than under the former summer vacation plan. And he can choose, with the freedom of resuming in any semester, that season for remaining out of school which is best suited for profitable employment.

The next semester opens on May 28, and extends to September 8. The semester following opens on September 10, and closes on December 23.
