THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Announcement Concerning the New
Term at the University.


The school year at the State Uni.
versity is divided into two terms or
semesters. one beginning in Sep
tember and the other I'm February
In term courses are begun and
completed. This year the second
semester opens Monday, February
3rd. at nine o'clock.
The second term is as good a time
for a student TO begin as the first,
because he can complete and Sc
cure credit for every course of
studies he pursues. The student who
enters in September and remains all
year can finish about 30 points to-
ward the 125 required for gradua-
tion. the student who enters for a
half year can complete 10. This ar
rangement of the terms proves OF
advantage to teachers who can go
to college after their own teaching
term has ended. and to scholars
who cannot afford to attend the uni
versity all year.
There Is always large increase In
attendance at the beginning OF the
second semester. More would attend
II the advantages of entering the
second term were widely known.
