DARTMOUTH SUMMER SESSION
The following statement has been sent out by the director' of the Dartmouth Summer Session:
"As inquiries have been received regarding the effect of the war upon the Dartmouth Summer Session, the following announcement is hereby made:
"(1) According to present plans the Summer Session will be conducted exactly as announced in the Bulletin. Unless unexpected and unforeseen exigencies develop, all of the courses and features therein described will be carried out.
"(2). The Dartmouth Summer Session believes that, in most cases, the truest service which teachers can render in this time of crisis is by increasing their usefulness as teachers. Practically all of the courses in the coming Summer Session are designed for this specific purpose.
"(3) Certain of the regular courses will be of unusual value because of the war. The courses in Physiology help to give the basis for all Red Cross work; the Geology course will aid in mapmaking and map-reading, and will include a large amount of field work; the Physics courses will afford wireless instruction; the French courses will, as far as practicable, use reading texts discussing the Great War.
"(4) A regular thirty-hour course on Military Science will be offered. The aim of this course will be to give the principles of military tactics which will be of value to men who may be conscripted, members of Home Guards, and school instructors in military training. The College is now endeavoring to secure for this course an officer of our militia and a Canadian officer on furlough.
which will determine fees, credits, and textbooks.
"(6) To increase general knowledge of certain phases of the war situation, the Summer Session announces special lectures, open to the public, on various "War Problems;" these will be given chiefly by members of the faculty. Among the topics to be presented are: Home Gardening, Food Values and Dietetics, Food Control, The Psychology of War, United States Military History, Military and Municipal Sanitation, and International Law.
"(7) At least two hours of drilling will be provided each day, under the direction of competent officers. This drill, which will be open without added expense to all men students in the Session, will include work for men who expect to be officers or privates and those who will be in control of school military companies."
