Dr. Osburn : The winter period runs from January to March? 



Professor Cobb: January to March 27th. We have a vacation 

 period for Christmas. The short course students arrive home from the 

 fisheries in December, and some of them leave again early in March,

 of them had to leave for their regular fishing activities. But we are in 

 doubt about this because it would require special enrollment in one 

 quarter and the finishing up of the course in another. You who are 

 familiar with the internal workings of a university know how un- 

 favorably a registrar would look upon a proposal of that kind.
