SUMMER SESSION OF THE COLLEGE

A general statement of the reorganization of the Summer School has already appeared in this MAGAZINE, but the catalogue which has just appeared shows these changes more in detail. The work will be in charge of a corps of instructors numbering twenty-four, of whom sixteen are members of the regular college faculty. Those coming from other institutions are: Superintendent Meleney and Superintendent Stevens of New York, Superintendent Whitcher of Berlin, N. H., Professor Read of Colgate University, Professor Langley, formerly of Dartmouth, and now of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor Root of Yale, and Professor Snyder of Princeton.

The prospectus offers fifty-one courses for the choice of the student, some of them designed especially for undergraduates, some for teachers, and some for both undergraduates and teachers. A feature of the work will be courses and round table conferences conducted by experts in the field of teaching. These will be of great value for those teaching now who expect to take the promotional examinations, as well as for those who plan to enter the profession of teaching. Arrangements have also been made by which some of the departments of the College will offer courses in the summer which will enable the student in four summer sessions to receive the master's degree.

Great attention is being given to providing a variety of musical entertainments and public lectures as well as general social features. Full advantage will be taken of the excellent location for a summer school, and trips will be arranged each week to nearby points of interest.

The period of instruction, in the school is from July 3 to August 14. During these six weeks, recitations or lectures are held five times a week, giving thirty exercises, which is the equivalent of a course reciting twice a week for one semester. Consequently for undergraduates who are taking courses in the summer, these courses will be equivalent to two hours' credit toward a degree. So far as practicable, it is the intention that the rules and regulations regarding attendance, scholarship, and discipline of undergraduates which govern the longer sessions of the College shall be the rules in force for the Summer Session. The Director of the Summer Session is Professor W. V. Bingham.
