Trimester System Initiated
Sun., Feb. 2, 1941
To allow students to graduate by age 2o, the College on February 2 began a system consisting of spring, summer, and fall trimesters. Students who had only completed three and a half years of high school were admitted to begin their college educations early. The changes were to enable students to earn degrees before taking wartime positions.
