A New Policy in Summer School

The extension of the summer SEES
sion to nine weeks has made it pes
shle for summer students to work to-
ward a degree. The work of four
summer sessions is about equivalent
to a years TOr:: in residence, and
many teachers and ether students
have taken advantage of this OppOr-
tunity to enroll in the regular college
classes and prepare foS graduation.
Some who have had advanced work at
other colleges were able to enter the
Junior and Senior Classes and will
complete their work during the sum-
mer sessions. Others will complete
their work during summer sessions
and during the regular term. Already
several have been enabled to graduate
and hereafter more and more will

In order to encourage efficiency and
to aid good students Of limited means,
number Of working scholarships
have been established. These scholar
ships are awarded annually to the
applicants who have made the best
records in study and conduct during
the previous year and are otherwise
qualified for the work required. Stu
dents who are appointed to these
scholarships assist in the laboratories,

in the work is not enough to interfere

these scholarships many excellent
