of n summer institute devoted to the dis

modesty commensurate alike to the plan
and scope nj the first gathering. the
early founders named II a summer
school. The following year ground was
purchased on Lake Champlain. three
miles south Of Plattsburg, For two
seasons the sessions were held In the city
OF Plattsburg. Tie lectures were de-
livered In the opera house and the
visitors found accommodations In the
hotels und private residences of the city.
The following year formal possession OF
the purchased site was taken. The
movement, which started under the un-
assuming name of summer school. has
developed into a great summer univcr-
sity where thousands Of visitors from
every point assemble to attend lectures
