Community spirit is being carried by
St idents into their lives at the Column
bia University summer school, which
probably will show the largest regis
tration in its history this year Dozens
OF tiny communities are bringing to
Morniugside Heights the atmosphere
and influence of every section OF the
country, as we'll as of other lands.
These communities arc formed by
groups of students who, coming from
the same locality. combine their re-
sources to simplify the problem Of
housing and to pursue their social and
intellectual life in New York while
<staining the associations OF their own
town. city or state.
Cooperation OF this kind is more no.
ticeable at Columbia this year than
1vcr before. The high cost of living,
end especially the advance in rentals,
las produced a situation which makes
y more desirable than ever that stu
Vents should combine their resources
= meet the added cost which summer

vJrlcs and other dwellings is met more
geadily.
