THE SUMMER SESSION

The Bulletin of the Summer Session has just appeared announcing over sixty courses in Anthropology, Art, Biology, Chemistry, the Drama, Education, English, French, Geology, German, History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Physics, Psychology, Public Speaking, Sociology, Spanish, and Physical Education for men and women. Half of the forty instructors were chosen from the Dartmouth faculty, the other half from other institutions. Prominent among the latter are Professor Karl Young, Chairman of the English Faculty of the University of Wisconsin; Dr. William S. Ferguson, Professor of History at Harvard and intimately connected with secondary school problems; Dr. Edgar W. Knight, Professor of the History and Science of Education at Trinity College, North Carolina; Dr. Henry P. Fairchild, Assistant Professor of the Science of Society at Yale; and Oscar C. Gallagher, Headmaster of the West Roxbury High School, prominently associated with the Junior High School Movement.

As last year, special emphasis will be laid upon the courses in the Drama. It is expected that a series of lectures, one week each, will be given by Professor Curtis Hidden Page, Mr. Clayton Hamilton, and Mr. Stuart Walker. The theoretical principles set forth by Mr. Crawford again this year will be practically demonstrated during the summer in the Little Theatre and the Bema. Aplication of the principles to the coaching of secondary school dramatics will also be stressed.

Another striking feature of the curriculum is the opportunity offered for intensive work in French. A course in elementary French, designed as a review course or to give a full year's work to those who have never studied the language and wish to devote their entire time to it, has been added. At least one French instructor will live in the sections reserved in the men's and women's dormitories for these students. There will be a French dining-room; the students will have use of a room for social gatherings and readings, where French periodicals will be found; special outing trips will be planned for the French students, and every effort will be made to create a French atmosphere for this group.

The Physical Education courses for men have been greatly expanded. Mr. Hillman is to have charge of this work and will be assisted by Dartmouth coaches, Horace Chadbourne (baseball) and Clarence Spears (football). It is expected that Larry H. Bankart will cooperate with Mr. Spears in his course part of the time and that Mr. E. K. Hall, Chairman of the Rules Committee, will lecture on football problems.

Through a slight change in the admission requirements the advantages of the Summer Session will be open to more Dartmouth undergraduates than in previous summers, and a large enrollment is expected. Indications also point to an increased enrollment of candidates for the Master's Degree.
