WHITMAN ADOPTS TWO TERM YEAR
Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 25—This school has reverted to the original I plan of a two semester school yeai which was abandoned during thewai. The government established the S. A. T. C. in the American colleges and re quired them to adopt the siemestei-plan. Whitman has kept on with this plan until now. In taking up this system of two semesters it takes sides with the majority of American colleges. It is found that out of 650 institutes only 75 use the three term plan and the remaining 525 the two term plan.
The adoption of this plan means that the examinations will come only twice a year and the “scandal sheet-will be published but twice- This will undoubtly meet the approval of the students.
