THE PATTALION MID-TERM GRADS Slow INCREASE OVER LAST YE AR Ten Men to Receive Degrees at End Of First Term and Go to Work Immediately. Commencement Day will be Janu ary 30. Many old-timers will be sur prised, but times have changed since the days when Commencement was held only in the spring. This year there will be ten candidates for de grees to be awarded at the end of the first term. Most of these, men have speeded up their College days through the medium of the summer school and will enjoy a distinct advantage over the spring graduate who must enter the annual spring race of thousands of college graduates. Practically ev ery one of the mid-term grads already located and will start work immediately. This is in pleasant con trast to the difficulties many spring e-raduates experience in getting lo eated at a time when the demand for college graduates is less and the sup ply in greatest abundance. The win ter class is growing in numbers every year and more and more men are see ing the advantages of finishing their work at this time. The usual gala .days of spring will be lacking when these men receive their degrees, but they deserve a great deal of credit and encouragement. They have short ened their work by sacrificing their holidays and vacations, and staying on the job during the long hot days of summer. Give them a hand of con gratulation and encouragement when ever you meet them. Following the list of candidates for degrees to be awarded January 30, 1925: Lewis Edwin Bailey, (Agr.) Bry an.
