Spring Semester

An examination of university calendars conducted by the

Registrar's Office

.

'indiates that practice in Canadian universities

varies concerning a mid-term break during the period covered by our

Spring Semester. At the University of Victoria lectures were cancelled

this year on Friday and Saturday, February 11 and 12. Most Faculties

at U. B. C. dismissed lectures and laboratories from Thursday,

February 17, until the, end of the week, although the university library

and other facilities remained open. At the University of Alberta

lectures and laboratories were withdrawn on Saturday, February 19,

to permit students to participate in Varsity Guest Weekend, while at

Manitoba, classes were cancelled on February 18 and 19 (Friday and

Saturday) except for the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Dentistry and

Medical Rehabilitation. McGill's mid-term holiday was Saturday,

February 19. The following universities, from among those examined,

did not schedule a mid-term break: Saskatchewan, Toronto, Queen's,

Waterloo and Western Ontario.

It should be noted that a mid-term break does not necessarily

mean that the university closes. As at U. B.C. lectures and laboratories

can be cancelled, but otherwise the university

,

can continue normal

operations. If, during a mid-term break, the library and other facilities

remain open, students will be able to use the period for uninterrupted

work on term essays and research projects.

During the Summer and Fall Semesters, a break from formal

classroom and laboratory work is provided by legal holidays.
