THE SUMMER SESSION
July 1918

Classes at the Dartmouth Summer session began July 9, registration taking place the day before. The Session will be reduced to approximately one-half its normal size as a consequence of the war; preliminary registrations indicate a probable attendance of about one hundred and fifty. Few Dartmouth undergraduates will attend, as most of those not in actual service are employed in some form of war work during the summer vacation. Most of the men who entered College in February of this year, however, plan to attend the Summer Session in order to secure points enough to be of the class of 1921.

Nearly half of the students will be taking French courses (in charge of Professor Robert of Wellesley, a native Frenchman), which offer very timely opportunities. New Hampshire Hall will be reserved for these students and a French atmosphere maintained there throughout the six weeks of the Session. A little elementary work is offered, but in fairness to the advanced students, those taking the elementary work are to be in a group by themselves. The French students will have their own recreational activities and will perhaps even produce some short plays during the summer. Attendance in all courses of the summer session while smaller than usual, is nevertheless not discouraging.
