SUMMER SCHOOL REORGANIZED

Although the Dartmouth Summer School was in operation as early as the summer of 1900, it was not until last fall that the trustees of the College assumed full responsibility for its affairs. The following vote was passed October 21, 1911. "Voted, to appropriate the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, —eight hundred dollars of which shall be available during the present fiscal year, for the reorganization and administration of the Summer School, and that the President be charged with the responsibility for the judicious expenditure of the same and the details of administration of the School."

In pursuance of this vote. President Nichols has made Professor W. V. Bingham, Director of the School. Professor Bingham is the successor of Professor Home in the chair of psychology and education.

The Summer School now becomes an integral part of the Dartmouth scheme of education and in accepting full responsibility it is also proposed to make the same standards that are found in the regular sessions of the College apply to the summer session as well. Equal credit will be given for an equal amount of work done. In study toward the master's degree four summer sessions will be considered the equivalent of two semesters of college work.

The faculty of the summer session will consist mostly of members of the regular Dartmouth faculty. There will, however, be some courses offered by professors from other institutions, and arrangements have already been made to have courses in methods of teaching and school management conducted by Associate Superintendent C. E. Meleney and District Superintendent D. C. Bardwell of the New York schools.

Courses will be arranged with a view toward helping ambitious undergraduates to obtain their degrees in less than the full four years, and there will also be "Courses to enable those who have failed in the regular sessions to repeat their work. Other courses are designed especially for teachers, a prerequisite for entrance being actual teaching experience. The date of registration has been placed at July 2, and of instruction from. July 3 to August 14, inclusive. Professor Bingham is now at work on the catalogue which will appear sometime in February.
