University extension courses offered by the Commission on Extension Courses, representing eleven local institutions, will get under way next week, the catalogue released by the Commission reveals.

The courses will be conducted in the same way as courses regularly given in the cooperating institutions, with lectures, and written and laboratory work. Students will be tested by examinations and marked on the same scale as in college courses.
