Opportunity Comes Again 



^^4 HIS is the story of an opportunity a new oppor- 

 I tunity. 



That opportunity is for young men and women 

 who, when the time for going to college came 

 near, had to shut the door on ambition to get 

 more education because it was not possible for them to 

 leave the work they were doing. 



To them Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic 

 Arts offers a new and special winter term of instruction 

 which is complete in itself or may be made a part of a 

 longer course. It is a "between seasons" term, opening No- 

 vember 12 and closing March 28, except for those who wish 

 to continue until June and thus complete the college year. 

 It will include courses in agriculture, engineering, home 

 economics and industrial science. All four lines of work, 

 both of freshman and sophomore grades, will be offered in 

 the college proper. Courses of non-collegiate grade in gen- 

 eral agriculture, fruit growing and gardening, herdsmen's 

 training, home economics and vocational engineering will 

 be offered to those who have not b'een able to go thru high 

 school and who are over 17 years of age in the case of men 

 and over 18 years in the case of women. 



ADVANTAGES OF THE WINTEB TEEM 



This special term exactly fits the needs of young men 

 and women who cannot leave farm or other tasks in Sep- 

 tember. It begins after the heavy work of summer and 

 fall is out of the way and it closes before the rush of spring 

 work begins. It corresponds to the old-fashioned winter 

 term of the district school of our fathers and grandfathers, 

 which gave the big boys and girls a chance to go on with 

 their schooling at a time when they were not needed for 

 work on the farm or elsewhere. This new arrangement of 

 the college gives the youth of today the same kind of an 

 opportunity to get training for doing big things thru life, 



Issued weekly. Entered as second class matter at Ames, Iowa, act of 1912.
