PSi Nhi'hJ SNNy'
The summer session of the Univer-
sity of Kansas opens this year on
June 10, the day after commencement,
and continues through nine weeks,
closing August II. Anywhere but In
Lawrence, tie very thought would
give one heat prostratlon, but the
breezes never die on Mt. Dread, and
outside of the mountains and the sea
shore, a pleasanter summer resort
could not be imagined. Every year
sees an increasing number of teach
ers, students and just common folks
repair to this summer school to com
bine study and vacation on the cam
pus.
This year 1876 courses in twenty
nine departments are offered, includ-
ing additional courses in Spanish pro-
vided for by the Carnegie endowment
for international peace, and new work
In physical education, bacteriologyD
and anatomy. The teaching force
lStS Slhtlg -oCNCll lllNh ehN "C'''
comprises sixty-seven men and wom-
sides the university. Dean Arvln
DIN, head of the school of education
is director of the session.
Summer school draws its enroll
ment from teachers who are working
for state certificates, meeting addi-
tional requirements of their work, or
piling up hours toward degree;
from students who wish to shorten
their four years to three, to tighten
their winter study, to make up en-
trance deficiencies or to work off con-
ditions: finally from men and women
who want to take advantage of OPP
portunities to get into different lines
of work, physical education, for in
stance, or some of the professions.
Five hundred or 600 come every
year, enroll in enough work to keep
them comfortably busy without entail
ing excessive study in the heated part
of the day, and enjoy themselves in
various ways.
