 Called To Service

New Haven, Conn Dec. l6-CUP) Yale university will abandon It's regular summer vacation during the war emergency to speed the education of students who may be called for military service, Presi- dent Charles Seymour announced today.

 The Yale Medical school also was reported considering methods to speed the training of doctors ur- gently needed for the defense pro- gram. It Is possible a four-year course may be reduced to three by xtra-curricular activity.
 Dr. Seymour said.
 "The university can provide an accelerated program, thus making it possible for young men under 2l to complete their university educa- ton before entering actively into national service.
 The elimination of the long sum- mer vacation makes possible third term in the academic year, which will mean that students will be able to complete their course in less than three, instead of four full years"
