S P E C I A L P R O G R A M FOR V E T E R A N S Fourteen students are taking advantage of the special program for veterans offered by the Library School during the second semester, which began on March 6. Half of the group are veterans, representing all branches of the armed services except the Marines. The class is equally divided between men and women. This is the first time in the history of the Library School that students have been admitted in the middle of the academic year. The opportunity was offered especially for the benefit of veterans desiring to begin professional study without delay. The students will have finished all required courses in June. During the twelve weeks summer session they will take a carefully selected group of elective courses, including one special course that will provide an opportunity for individual study along lines of special interest. * : ,v , . . The courses in this program are being taught by members of the regular faculty with the exception of those taught by Joe W. Kraus, who was added to the faculty for this particular purpose.
