Private Charles F. Spreyer, Harvard's tailback and signal caller in 1939 and 1940, who was drafted last summer prior to his Senior year, has been selected to attend the special officer candidate training school at Fort Bragg, North Carolina...
...staying in session all year round. All three will let freshmen start next June instead of in September (choosing their men early by means of April College Boards). For this group, freshman "year" will run roughly from June to February; sophomore, February to September; junior, September to June; senior, June to January. > Universities in the Midwest and on the Pacific Coast, which have long been on a year-round basis (four quarters a year, including a summer one), expect more students to enroll for four quarters instead of three.

No general policy need be adopted; probably there will not be more than fifty or sixty cases, so that each can be considered individually. If Joe Doakes '42 can't finish up before he leaves, he should be encouraged to do so afterwards. A degree...
