If you're wondering why Stanford is having exams in January, I'll remind you that in those days, the semester did not end with Christmas break; it merely paused and then resumed in January, ending some time in late January. It was still the pattern up until the late 1960s, when I went to college. In fact, I believe it changed at some time before I graduated. The fall semester had to start earlier, of course, to accommodate the change. That meant that the spring semester also started earlier and went to May instead of June, as it does in Stanford's time.
