And the typeface is really tiny. It's very clearly an '8' - doesn't even resemble a '9'. And the clerk's letter that an honest misreading is the cause of the mistake seems reasonable. It's a computer printout and we can all see what it clearly says.

No. That's not the original transcript--that is a printout from the data record that was prepared later.

The original transcript is the one with her Spring 1962 Quarter grades entered on it with the two binder holes and the slot on the binder side.

On the original document, the 9 is in fact really easy to misread--the tail on the bottom of the 9 looks almost all the way up to the zero that makes up the top. But the 8 is just not a possible.

The 24th is a mistype--I wrote the 25th; but even that is not exact because the classes she was in might have started any day that week. Point is that Fall Quarter 1961 didn't start until the last week of September. Some years in that period, classes didn't start until the first week in October. And incidentally, that is the way they do it now--that is still when Fall Quarter starts as far as I know. The Schedule at the University of Washington is four academic quarters of which you attend any three with 15 hours of credit to get a one year credit. The school is generally closed after Summer quarter finals for a couple of weeks for vacation.

I remember each of the days. from 50 years ago? and people think it's odd for people to remember much more significant events from even more recent times? and can testify from personal firsthand observation that the building was locked and you know where the classes were held or even if she was required to attend any classes?

I recognize all that. But I have really already said more about my personal situation that I would really want to say. If I told what happened and why, I might be a little more credible but it would identify me for anyone who wanted to look and I am not going to do that.

The campus was closed and locked down from some point in the afternoon on the 18th until (I believe) the day after Labor Day. The buildings were all locked--you couldn't get in to any of them without a key. At some point the week of the 21st and the week following, there was a library schedule on which the main (Suzulo) Library and the Law Library were open.

I ended this dance with Corsi saying well maybe there were special classes or something. Nonsense. Her transcript is really clear--she registered for Night School class on September 19th just like everybody else who went to Night School fall quarter 1961; she started class the following week; attended enough classes to take the final which she did in December during the normal finals week for Fall Quarter. Just that simple.

That doesn't even make sense. Universities don't go to books, look up a printout and then type it back into the computer and print it out again.

So the newspaper article from 1961 was nonsense?

Her transcript is really clear--she registered for Night School class on September 19th just like everybody else who went to Night School fall quarter 1961;

no, it clearly says 8/19.

This subject came up on another thread when the transcript first appeared and there was additional information found back then which showed that extension courses did not always follow the same schedules.

I came across many other articles about the Washington Huskies football team who were on campus holding regular practices a month before the quarter started.
