are concerned. They have all been
taken care Of, however, although some
have had to go without the elevators
and other convenienccs which they
thought were synonymous with life in
Now York.
This is a particularly lively summer
session from the social as we'll as the
educational standpoint. Wartime gloom
and food conservation are things Of
the past. Plans have been laid by the
Y. ". c. A, the Catholic Club and the
Jewish Forum for the recreation and
good fellowship necessary to tighten
the hours of study. The band con-
certs, given by the New York Military
Band three times week, are the most
spectacular feature from the recrea-
tional standpoint. Last year anywhere
from 10000 to $1,000 attended them
and this session the attendance is still
larger. A great chorus of summer stu
dents has been formed and meets three
times week to sing under the leader
ship of Professor Walter H. Hail. No
qualifications other than a desire to
sing are needed to give one place in
the chorus. A series of festival con-
certs has been arranged, when Co.
lumbia's own chorus will be supple
mcnted by soloists and a professional
orchestra.
The usual round of conferences, trips,
rallies and exhibits have been arranged
and brand new scheme for neighbor-

taking care Of the young girls on their
hands The men have been able to
shift for themselves, and their housing
was a negligible problem in comparison
with that of the women.
For one thing, the female students
greatly outnumbcr the men, and, in
the second place, they have more posi-
tive likes and dislkes in the matter Of
accommodation. Discussing this phase
Of the situation, Mrs. W. II. Fitzpatrick,
social director, pointed out:
ut is quite true that some of our
girls lad hard time finding accommo-
dation, but this was chiefly because
they were not content to take what was
provided for them. Naturally enough,
they all wanted rooms around l21st
Street 1t isn't reasonable to suppose
that we could settle them all in quar-
ters OF this kind With so many on our
hands, we had to send numbers Of them
downtown this year. We elaborated
Y. ". c. A. and spread out the girls as
we'll as we could.
"Thc situation is just this: New
York business women have been NOV
ing up here so fast that they have pre-
occupied the space we used to have for
our students. Furthermore, the regis
tration of girls is greater than any
thing we have had to cope with in the
past Private schools are helping us
out and two or three boys schools

the community. The avowed intention
is rather to provide a body of nstruc-
ton and place Of study for students
who wish to prepare themselves for
practical work among the foreign born.
Another interesting development of
this year is the group Of "lttle ma
tons" about to spring up around Co.
lumbia. The first has already been es-
tablishcd-a French house where only
French is spoken, even if one wants
nothing more important than salt. Next
fall the extension of this idea is eX-
pected, until finally each Of the living
languages will have a home Of its own
with a distinctive native atmosphere.
The French pension, which marks the
starting point of the scheme, is a COM
plete home where the girls both eat
and sleep. English is barred, down to
the smallest detail Of living. The work
of the French house is supplemented by
special French courses given in small
sections and under native teachers. A
similar course emphasizes Castilian
Spanish and the idiomatic speech of
South America.

Domestic Arts
Not Forgotten

While there is marked run amonR
the girl students on sociological and
business courses, yet the domestic arts
are not quite forgotten and registrs-
ton for housewfely subjects is heav-
Ter than usual.
The summer courses might be pre-
scented from thousand different an
giles. They aim to meet every need
and suit every taste. They furnish
complete inventory of modern happen
ngs. They are necessarily sketchy in
some instances because of their brew
ity. But they are carefully worked
out beforehand so as to afford the
maximum of result in the minimum Of
time. They open the way to further
study on the part OF transients-study
that can be pursued on their own
initiative when they return to their
customary work and leave Columbia
halls ready for a fresh influx Of stu.
dents.

Interesting
Study Of Types

Forgetting for the moment that they
are all students, they make an inter
esting study of types. The summer
session is by no means confined to the
young and the lovely. 1t is quite true
that thofe are many coming under this
category. 1t is also true that there is
much of the drab mustiness of the lit
tie old country school, over which
every one gets sentimental and which
no one wants ever to see again, trailing
to the skirts of some. The grim visares
of long, dreary years of pedagogy and
faithful service fit past as frequently
BIS youthful faces alight with the en-
thusiasm of the first plunge
There is every variety Of color, OF
accent, even of language. There are
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-07-20

all manner of sartorial vagares, from
Fifth Avenues latest to home made
gingham frocks. There are women with
bobbed hair and men with long hair
There is bit of Greenwich Village
and a big slice of the Middle West.
There is dash of Orientalism and a
touch of English formality. Lastly,
there is quite lot of New York leav-
ening the whole.
In no previous year has such trouble
been experienced in getting accommo-
dation for the students. Unprecedented
shifts had to be made to take care OF
the oncoming tide Of humanity that
wanted its bed and board within sight
of the college precincts if possible.
And thus there arose the new town
around Columbia, with boundaries that
widen every year The ten thousand
swamp the restaurants and keep the
confectionery ard ice cream shops
busy. They sauntcr hatlcss on the
streets outside the confines Of Column
bia books and sheaves of notes under
their arms.

BULLETIN from the Amer
lean Association Of Uni
versity Professors becomes

L IA verslty Professors becomes
interested in and prints
part of an article from "The Allan
tic Monthly" entitled "The Demo-
bilized Professor" by Zone of
Them"
To quote:
Certain it is that the pedant during
the last year has not been the profes.
sor. There have been professional SOL
diers, and even professional business
men, who have made the mistake Of
thinking that they already knew enough
to enable them to cope with this war.
But not so the professor Although he
has had no chance to practise his for
mer occupation Of pouring knowledge
into empty, upturned minds, he has
found another job that is fortunately
not less familiar to him. This is the
job of solving new problems.
"The war proved to be a perpetual
round of new problems for which no
existing precedent or remedy, and no
existing habits or stores Of erudition.
nor any degree of acquired skill suf-
feed. This war has been in a sense an
amateurs war. 1t has called for two
or three fundamental qualities. First,
determination or faith-the quality
that enables man to stick to his Job
with naive belief in the attainabilty
OF the impossible. Second, readiness,
adaptability and the power quickly to
absorb and profit by experiences
naked, uncorrupted power of mind that
is not surprised or confused by the
difficulties.
"The professor was reputed to be
fossilized, but he has turned out to be
almost embryonic in his modifability
and capacity for growth He was re-
puted to be learned, and, much to
everybody's surprise, he has turned out
to be intelligent. The third of these basic
qualities is capacity for work. Here
the professors old habits serve him in
good stead. Overtime formerly known
as midnight oilO was an old story to
him-he may be said to have discov-
cred it. When Washington adopted the
fourteen-hour day he felt thoroughly
normal when many an athletic line
officer showed dark streaks under his
eyes"
Not that the professor had these
workmanlike commodities "cor-
nered"; not that--but read on:
II am far from wishing to claim that
the professor possessed a monopoly of
these three elemental qualities. 1t is
sufficiently startling that he should

Because 1t
Is Columbia

"They come because it is Columbia
and in the City of New York" he de-
clared. "Its standing is known all over
the world. 1t is a combination of
schools in which practically every sub
ject is taught and every modern facility
offered. The most varied interests arc
served here-that is how we have such
cosmopolitan gathering.
"The summer students think of Co.
lumbia as their second alma mater
They bring to it freedom, enthusiasm
and imagination. They get from it the
render. The summer session is different
from any other session in the world
The students get the advantage of its
bigness. The administration has not
permitted this very bigness to lower
the quality of the work done Courses
are rigidly being kept up to standard.
We strive to keep the students from
trying to grasp at too much.
They come, too, because Columbia
is in New York, the city of advantage,
of business, of art and of amusement,
as we'll as of education"
What courses do they choose?
To begin with, the majority Of the
students are serving some specific pro-
fessional interest in coming to Colum-
bia. Only a small proportion study
with desultory interest in the hope of
adding some knowledge, haphazardly,
to what they already know. Fully 35
per cent take pedagogical work. The
summer session is prominently the
school teachers session. To subdivide
the students of this class, there are
those who are interested in the admin
istrativc side of teaching, such as SUI
perntendents in elementary and high
schools, and teachers of special sub
jects, who want to increase their knowl :
edge of the subject matter taught and
the method of teaching.

COsn,OpoHlans

Where the regular students come in
orderly formation with we'll defined
detectives and a certain sophistication
IN their way of tackling things, the
summer students swarm in with cos
mopoltan ideas, a vast amount of en-
thusiasm and a variety of background.
They are obsessed with the one idea
that they want to accomplish q great
deal in a short time and that they
must not waste minute getting down
TO work.
Where do they come from?
Why do they come?
What courses do they choose?
Who are they?
These are the questions that involun-
tarily occur to the individual who finds
himself anywhere near the summer
colony. He knows that they are not
all New Workers, nor nearly all New
Workers. He knows that each has a
definite reason for picking out Column
hia before all other colleges He knows
that each student is diverging specif-
to help him in his work. And, finally,
he knows that in so huge an army of
young people, drawn from all over the
country, there must be sons and daugh-
tiers of everybody, from Senators to
Bolsheviki.
Where do the summer students come
from?
1t may truthfully be said that they
come from all quarters of the globe as
we'll as from every state in the Union.
There are registrants from the Hawaii
an Islands. the Philippines, Porto Rico,
Brazil, Canada, China, Cuba, England,
Japan, Mexico, Palestine, Persia, Rus
STA, Siam. South America, Chile, South
Africa, Sweden and Iceland. Coming
nearer home, about a fifth of the sum

York and its suburbs Next in run

eide just who are the summer students
at Columbia. To index them as stu
dents rather than as human beings,
nearly 60 per cent of the total arc non
matriculants-that is, persons not reg
ularly affiliated with the university.
Roughly speaking, 5 per cent come from
the higher educational Institutions, 8
per cent from the normal schools, 81
per cent from industrial schools, while
more than 40 per cent are not engaged

terest in foreign languages has been
stimulated, and it is noticeable that
great numbers Of the summer students
are studying them. Special courses
will presently Be offered in Arabic, Ar
menian, Chinese, Danish-Norwegian,
English, French, German, Icelandic,
Irish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese,
Ramanian, Russian, Serbo- Croatian,
Spanish and Turkish
History is being taught in a new
and ingenious fashion this summer.
Vahan H. Kalenderian, who was secre-
tary of the United States Racial Ad-
visory Group during the war, is giving
three courses dealing with the general
mode of living, the habits and customs
of Abyssnians, Afghans, Arabs, Armen-
ians, Baluchis, Georgians, Gypsies,
Persians, Syrians, Kurds, Tartars,
Turks, Slavs, and Rumanians. Native
dancers and musicians are introduced
in the course of the lessons to add
realism to theoretical instruction.
Intellectual relations between France
and America constitute another course
that has been established as q result
of the war. It.includes a survey of the
intellectual and literary intercourse
between the two peoples, with special
reference to their war relationships.
An attempt is made to determine the
different elements and influences
which have brought about their recip-
rocal estimates.

Calendar Greatly
Enlarged

The calendar Ygreatly enlarged this
year. 1t would be long story to emu
merate all the courses that may be
taken up by the summer student at
Columbia. Some are studying Assyrian
and others how to make watch fobs.
Some are learning how to be Journalists
and others how to be tailors. The
courses run the entire gamut of human
experience.
Interest centres this session on the
citizenship course which has been
built on the dead embers of the Ger
man culture section. 1t aims to carry
into effect Roosevelt's theory that
"Americanism is a question of spirit
conviction and purpose, not Of creed or
birthplace" In the mean time, at any
rate, no attempt is being made to du-
plicate the practical work being &C

summer session is in full
swing and will continue until Au
gust Is.
Less than three weeks ago there was
quiet on Morningside Heights. College
walls were deserted, the campus bereft
of life. There was brief midsummer
lull as the last of the undergraduates
trooped out
Then came the great resounding in
vasion Of the summer students. They
started to swarm in on July 2, and they
kept on with gathering momentum un-
til July 9. By that time registration
had climbed to over 5000, with pre-
ponderance of women, and at the same
time more men than Columbia had seen
for number of sessions
The rise and fall of registration for
the summer session during the last five
years may be judged from the follow
