The law school faculty has voted that
the length of the terms shall be the
same as those of the academic and
other departments Of the university
The year of the law school has been
one week shorter than that of the aca-
denic and scientific departments, and
the vacations have often come at differ
ent times. This has proved inconven-
lent to those members of the law school
who have desired to attend exercises in
the academic, scientific. medical and
graduate departments. The Old ar
rangement has also been source of
inconvenience to those law students
who were members of the glee and ban
10 clubs. or to athletic organizations
making trips during vacations.
