Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall 
and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. 
The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in 
September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of

varied lengths. 
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who 
wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity 
to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their 
programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at t he beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the 
physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest 
numb-er of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculties complain that the eleven· 
week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college courses. Students 
also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time. 
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some 
colle.ges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and 
studen ts have more time to cover matedal and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides 
options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to 
graduate early.

When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of 
tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas. oil and minerals were found in 
!Unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers 
obounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So 
forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grasslands and prairies were ploughed and harrowed. 
Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river 
!became the scene of factories, mi lls and power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food 
and sport. 
Within a short time, t he result s were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage yearly. 
The very fertile soil was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and 
!minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from 
factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared. and some 
1mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future t imber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans soon 
!became to realize that some sort of conservation program must lbe set up, if future as well as present 
Americans were to share in the resources that are the heritage of every American.
