              hate additional staff to give an individual faculty member a term off either annually or every two years if students are admitted at any one of these be ginning periods and that is the practice you have to give many courses perhaps most courses three times a year or four times a year instead of once or twice as we do on the semester system and this means additional staff you can do this only in a very large institution perm state can because it has an enrollment of 20,000 1 think the most important argument is from the standpoint of the student what is best for him in the 19405

estimate that it would increase the costs of operating the university we have given a great deal of consideration to this aspect and we've had committees on this which have spent years studying it we continue to look at it because there is some times the impression that the physical facilities — and possibly the faculty — are not used as effectireiy as they might be if we were in continuous operation on the trimester system which runs three terms a year with just about a month of vacation or the quarter system which is in vogue at perm state and certain other state institutions you cannot use your faculty — have them teach the year round there are other things they must do in order to keep up their professional knowledge and advancement in the field so you would have to
