The University of South Car olina will close on December 21, for the Christmas holidays and work to be resumed on January 2, 1919. The present courses of study will be con tinued until the beginning of the second term. Immediately after. the mid-year examina tions in February the univei, sity will resume all of its regu lar courses. It is expected that the federal government will re store the Reserve Officers' Training Corps which was in operation for the session of 1916-1917. The military train ing of the R. O. T.
