SUMMER '63

College Pleased by Quality of Students, Studies, Special Programs in Inaugural Fourth Term; Enrollment Half Total Sought

QUALITY but not quantity best describes the 1963 Summer Term. "We got the quality we were after," Dean of Summer Programs Waldo Chamberlin said. "I don't believe anyone ran a better summer studies program."

Although the enrollment of 153 men and 138 women (26 alumni daughters are listed on page 19) from 81 colleges was about half the number hoped for, the Dean found an advantage in starting small. "We were able to handle our experiments and work out our problems with less difficulties. We learned much we can use next year."'

Summer students responding to a questionnaire were most enthusiastic about Baker Library but also gave high ratings to courses, class facilities, dormitories, and Thayer Hall food. A number of coeds thought the Wigwam dormitories too distant but the Director of Women Activities and her dorm mothers thought the location just fine. From student comments and letters, including one saying the student was returning in '64 with friends, it was apparent the experience was enjoyed and "the word" would spread.

The Dean is also pleased at the "new thinking in concentrated study" resulting from an experiment in the beginning French courses. Other experimental programs are still being reviewed. One Dartmouth professor called his Summer Term course one of his most exciting classroom experiences and said he would make course changes as a result.

One of the busiest places on campus was the Hopkins Center where "The Congregation of the Arts" was in full swing. Attendance figures show 30,000 visited the art galleries, 6,101 attended concerts, and 8,382 were in the audiences for 21 dramatic performances, ten of which were sold out. As an example of the "congregating" of arts Dean Chamberlin notes that famed composer Vincent Persichetti joined in a dining hall discussion of sculpture with a student, later visited the student in the sculpting studio and became so interested he began to sculpt in marble himself.

Summarizing the summer: a good start with quality but not quantity; extensive use of College facilities; opportunities to try out new concepts; a busier, more stimulating July and August for gown, and town, and all around.

The "Congregation of the Arts" was creatively excitingto professional and student participants and audiences.

Fewer girls were on campus than on an "off weekend,"but they contributed mightily to the program's success.
