except that it is as much better as the modern college is 

 better than the old district school. 



This special term also fits the needs of young men and 

 women who must pay their own way, wholly or in part, if 

 they would get more education. Never before in Iowa has 

 just such an opportunity come knocking at their doors. It 

 says to them that they may take full advantage of the sea- 

 son of profitable employment, earning and saving to the 

 utmost when there is a chance to do it, and then, when the 

 slack or idle season comes, enter college and go on with 

 their schooling. It puts the possibility of college training 

 within reach of many who have heretofore felt that they 

 could not do both, earn and learn what colleges have to 

 offer. 



The work of this winter period will also fit exactly into 

 the plans for completing a course in college. The subjects 

 offered are all subjects for which credit will be granted to- 

 ward a bachelor's degree in the case of the collegiate work, 

 and toward a certificate in the case of the non-collegiate 

 work. Moreover, the subjects are all fundamental, they 

 come in their correct sequence, and they open up the way 

 to subsequent studies in the various courses chosen by the 

 student. There will be no loss of time nor confusion for 

 those who enter for this term; every bit of work completed 

 will count as it needs to count towards final completion of a 

 technical course. Those who enroll as freshmen November 

 12 and continue their work until June will be able, with 

 very little extra effort, to complete a full four years course 

 in another three years, and sophomores, in two years more. 



PLAN OF THE TERM 



In the collegiate courses in agriculture, engineering, home 

 economics and industrial science, it is planned to conduct 

 the work of the special term in this manner: On entering 

 November 12, which is midway along in the regular college 

 semester, the student will classify for one-half of the full 

 number of freshman or sophomore subjects, but he will do 

 twice the customary work in each subject and thus have 

 a full schedule. At the end of the first semester, January 

 25, he will have half of a full semester's credits, or about 

 nine. Then the student has two options: He may choose 

 to carry the full list of second semester subjects and con- 

 tinue them until June, or he may choose half of them, do 

 intensive work as he did beginning November 12, and com- 

 plete nine credits by March 28. 



Tuition free: As in the case of all other instruction of- 

 fered, tuition will be free to residents of Iowa. There will,
