President Robert, M. Hutchins predicted that many students would Le able to finish their university course within two years, and that several in any given class would finish in ono year, by terms of the scheme. An occasional exceptional atudent might make himself eligiblo for a diploma in a single semester, especially in the case of those who came to the university with a con- siderable amount of previously ac quired golf-education.
