just been given by prominent business
men of the state, to be awarded to
students in correspondence courses OF
the university. These scholarships,
competition for which will be open
to all students enrolled in this new
department, are designed to pay the
expenses Of six students who desire
to continue, In the summer session
of the university, the work which
they have been carrying on in the
correspondence courses. Others have
indicated their intention of aiding in
this work, and the number of these
scholarships will doubtless be in
creased In the near future.
To Attend Artisans School.
The annual session of the school OF
artisans held at the college of engi-
neering of the university during six
weeks of the summer will offer. oppor-
tunity for additional instruction and
laboratory work to those carrying on
correspondence work during the year.
These new scholarships will be avail
able both for those in the school of
artisans, and for those in the regular
summer session of the university, in
which are given courses in all depart
ments. 1t is expected that as a re-
suit of the opportunity to win a
scholarship and thus secure funds to
pay all their expenses, a number of
students will supplement their CORE
spondence instruction by attending
the university. Provision will be
made for correlating closely CORE
spondence courses and those offered
in the summer session and school for
artisans.
To Grant Employees Leave.
Heretofore some difficulty has been
experienced by men regularly eml-
ployed in large plants in securing
leave of absence of six weeks in Or
der to attend the school for artisans;
but as result of the interest mani
tested by business men and manufac-
turers in the new correspondence
work of the university it is expected
that this difficulty will be overcome.
The announcement of the new depart
ure of the university has been re-
ceived with favor by employers, ami
the hope has been expressed in many
letters received by those in charge OF
the correspondence department that
employees generally will take advan-
tage of the opportunity which the uni
versity is offering.
Professional Men to Cooperate.
Teachers, librarians, lawyers and
professional men generally are also
promising their support to the new
movement. A number of the high
school teachers have offered their
services for the evening classes to be
organized in the various correspond
ence centers. Wherever possible it
is intended to make the public libra
ries the centers where students may
gather to talk over the work and re-
ceive aid and instruction from local
leaders. Through the hearty COOP
Grafton of citizens of all classes, indi-
cations are that the university extern
sion correspondence work will soon
be the most important undertaking Of
the state university.
