THIRD ANNUAL
SUMMER SCHOOL
Sessions to Begin Next Mon

Good Attendance.
FINE COURSES 0FFERE D
College Credits to Be Given for Work
Done at Summer
Session.

The third annual Summer Session Of
Alma College viii open Monday. June
21st Regular class work will begin
Tuesday morning at eight o'clock. The
session will continue for six weeks,
closing Friday, July Both Indications
point towards a very good Summer
Session. AT both the previous sessions
between twenty and twenty-five stud
ents were present.
Only college work in the following
courses will be offered.
A course in General Psychology by
DR.. George b. Randels, who received
his training in Psychology in Germany
and in the world-known psychological
laboratories in the University of Penn
sylvania.
A course in Pedagogy by DR.. Ran
dels.
a course in Eugenics, Field and For
est Botany, Field Zoology, Bird Study,
or General Biology, by Hansford M.
MacCurdy. Professor MacCurdy took
his doctors degree under the noted
biological specialists in Harvard Uni
versity, and can be especially helpful
to teachers and students interested in
biological science
Courses in German given by Thorn
as c Blaisdell, Jr., recently returned
from about two years study in Berlin,
Germany.
Courses in Latin by an experienced
Latin teacher.
A course in English Bible by the Rev
VIM H. Mason, AN, pastor of Alma
Presbyterian church and instructor in
Religious Education in Alma College.
A course in Physical Training and
High School Coaching, by Athletic Di-
rector w c. Bleamaster.
Most Of these courses will count two
credits toward the 100 credits requir-
ed for graduation from Alma College.
The tuition for the summer session
is SO. This is proportionate to the
fees paid by students during the reg
ular sessions. In laboratory courses
small fees will be charged to cover
cost of materials.
Board and room may be had for 50
per week or possibly little less.
Should the attendance warrant, the
dormitories will be opened and oppor-
tunity for boarding on a cooperative
plan will probably be developed. This
would make the cost Of living even
less than the amount mentioned.
Students in the summer session are
admitted to any work which they are
ready to pursue, without any other
formal admission requirements. Credit
toward degree will be given even
though the admission requirements
have not been met. No degree can be
granted, however, until the regular
college admission requirements have
been complied with.
Alma students are granted a degree
when they have completed 122 credit
hours, two of which are earned by re-
quired gymnasium work. This is an
average of fifteen credit hours during
each semester for four years. Two
credits may be earned in each course.
Full credit toward graduation will
be given for completed work. Stud
ents will easily earn six credits during
this session. Intense application will
make il possible TO earn even more.

LIoyd's Misty History.

Now that MI. McKenna is looking
to Lloyd's for a substantial contribu-
ton to the revenue from war profits,
1t is interesting to recall that the
greatest maritime institution in the
world is named. not after a flnancier
or shipowner, but after an humble cof-
feeshouse keeper. OF Lloyd's history,
says the London Chronicle, little is
known beyond the fact that he kept
q coffee house in Lombard street at
the beginning Of the eighteenth cen
tury, which, from its proximity to the
Royal exchange, came to be the favor
lite assembling place Of the underwrit-
ers.

"Rlch pastry, frozen creams and

Poor Excuse.

Thomas Mott Osborne, warden OF
Sing Sing, said at a luncheon in New

This laying of all ones crimes and
transgressions at the door of heredity
disgusts me. If we sin, we ourselves
are to blame. To blame heredity is
false and foolish.
