n 1962 the Fall Quarter at the University of Washington did not begin until the last week of September or the first week in October.

I went to NYU in 1961. In those days most colleges used the old (unmodified) semester system. In that system there was a long Christmas thru New Year's holiday, followed by the last couple of weeks of class and semester finals near the end of January. Since that time most schools not on the quarter system use the new (modified) semester system, starting before Labor Day, with finals ending before Christmas, followed by a long inter-semester break.

The transcript in post 114 looks authentic. I have a similar one somewhere. In the lower right corner it shows the courses she took from 9/19/61 to 12/11 and 12/12 61. There were no semesters at the University of Washington.

But not the University of Washington. See my post #114, and #89 by rawcatslyentist who was a student at U. Washington in '62.
