Due to a "war emergency," the school year in 1917–1918 runs only 30 weeks instead of 36 to give students an opportunity to work a bit longer.

This year the school has 5,000 volumes in the library, tuition plus room for 3 terms is $90 ($45 for tuition only), and board is $2.50 to $3.50 a week.

PLA is forced to close for 2 years due to financial troubles and severe problems resulting from the 1917 Norwegian Lutheran merger, which tried to combine Columbia College and PLA into 1 school.
