Summer Enrollment
April 1942

ELECTIVE CARDS FILED by freshmen, sophomores and juniors for the summer term starting May 25 indicate that the enrollment for the additional semester under the war program will be nearly 1200 men. Since incoming freshmen will not signify their summer-term intentions until after the class is admitted early in April, no enrollment estimate is now available for the shorter, eight-weeks term which '46 men will attend starting July 8.

For the upperclass summer term of full semester length the College has announced a list of 185 courses which it proposes to offer, depending upon the number of electives in each. The offerings represent 31 different departments and include 39 courses which will meet six days a week instead of three and thereby cover a year's work in a single term.

Two new courses are listed in the summer-term announcement and the war course on "Democratic Thought" is opened to juniors as well as seniors. The new offer- ings are "Economic and Social Statistics," presented jointly by the departments of economics and sociology, and "The United States in World Affairs in the 20th Century," presented by the history department.

Full departmental offerings in mathematics, chemistry and physics are listed for the summer, because of their great importance in war preparation, and languages for war purposes are also heavily represented. Special war courses being repeated during the summer term include Radio Technique, Mathematics for the Army and Navy, Map Interpretation, Tests and Measurement of Military Personnel, Power Politics, and Modern War Strategy. A noncredit course entitled "Introduction to Naval Training" is being repeated for men anticipating Naval service and is being taught by Prof. Albert L. Demaree, former Lieutenant (J.G.) in the Naval Reserve.

Incoming freshmen will be limited to three courses in their shorter summer term. English 1 will be required of all men and the other two courses will be elected from mathematics, the basic social sciences, and certain language courses. Charges for the freshman term have been announced as $135 for tuition, approximately §75 for board, and one-half the regular semester rate for dormitory room rent.
