alumni, who have noted the success OF
summer schools in various colleges, that
Middlebury had many advantages for
summer work. The beauty of the cam
pus, the cool stone buildings, the at
Effectiveness of the village for summer
residence, the low rates at which accom-
mo !ations may be secured, all comtsne
to render college summer session FEAST
BILE. Therefore, the corporation author
lied the new movement, and Dean Wal
ter E. Howard was appointed director.
A most interesting program has been
arranged. Aside from the usual sub
jects taught in college, courses will be
offered in domestic science and house,
hold economics, physical culture, Illus
trative drawing, pottery end plastic art,
wood work, wood carving, bent iron
work, etc. Courses in Biblical Litera-
ture will be offered by President Thomas
and DIR. Charles E. Hesselgrave. Peda
gogy will have special emphasis, and Mr..
Raymond MacFarland, new member of
the Middlebury faculty, and Mr.. Willis l.
Twitchell of Hartford, Conn, will give
courses in school management and meth
ods of teaching. Almost every page of
the Bulletin has an announcement of
There are 25 instructors on the faculty
for the summer session, including nine
of the REGULAR faculty of the college.
Ten alumni engaged in teaching else
where, and six instructors from other
institutions.
| A State Summer School, authorized by
Superintendent Stone, will be held ten
days beginning July 9th. A separate
registering for the State School will re-
ceive instruction in Manual Training,
Arts, Crafts, Domestic Science, and
Pedagogy, entirely without expense.
There will be no charge for tuition at the
Summer Session for Vermont teachers or
clergymen, but, except for the State
Summer School, all will be required to
pay registration fee of $500. The tut
is $1,000 for as many courses as may be
desired.
No examinations for admission to the
Summer Session, or to any of its courses,
will be held. Any one, whether grad
