Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1922-06-07

For the first time since the estab-
lishment of the Boston University
summer school at Ellsworth, the stu
dents will be treated to thirteen
weeks session instead of the usual
six weeks course which has been
given heretofore.
Due to the early opening OF the
summer school, and the high school
vet in session, the students have
been using the various buildings and
offices for class work. With the
closing of the high school for this
term, class sessions will be trans
ferred to the nigh school, where they
will be continued throughout the
summer.
There are already 1872 students in
attendance, with more yet to put in
an appearance Their various col
ored dress in constant display about
the city, gives an impression of
typical college town. The men who
are making their first visit to Ellis
worth are profuse in their praises of
the cordial and hospitable reception
which the townspeople have given
them.
One of the things that has brought
forth favorable comment are the
room accommodations. The clean,
airy rooms are a decided change
from the close, stuffy rooms of the
city. The atmosphere Of each home
in which the men are staying is
friendly and homelike. There are
many cases where the freedom of the
house has been given them. Stu
dents returning from a summer
spent in Ellsworth are not slow in
expressing their opinion Of the city,
the result being that many new faces
are added to the ranks each year
A list of the students registered
this year may be found on page 6.
NOTES BY THE STUDENTS.
The reception and dance given in
honor of the B. U. students and fac
ulty in Hancock hall last Friday |
evening started off our thirteen
weeks in a most encouraging man
uer. Mr. Leland, or Charlie" as
he is better known to the boys, gave
a brief address of welcome. In his
pleasing and sincere way he made
the men of previous schools glad
that they had returned, and at the
same time dispelled any approach of
inconsistencies the many new men
may have had. The rousing B. u.
cheer which Charlie" received upon
finishing, gave evidence of his popu-
larity with the boys. Dancing fol-
lowed, with the new Pine Tree Seven
furnishing the music. Refreshments |
were served by our old friend, for
mer City Marshal Pierson,--Win-
gate.
: Monday evening, Bob Summers,
Edwin Jones and John Prouty |
emerged from the comparative OBJ
security OF their Greenwich Village
locks. Students who were present
when these three men received their
Boldly" hair cuts, state that it vas
heart-rending, punctuated by sob
bling and wailing. Jones says that,
like all other men who have put
forth new ideas, the clipped-hair men
are prosecuted, but aff1rms that be-
fore long many other students will +
follow in their footsteps,-French.
Ellsworth merchants have more
than a friendly interest in the sum-
mer school. They are cooperating !
in every way to make the boys con-
tented. Particularly noticeable is !
the interest the dealers take regard !
ing the advertising classes, Several |
classes have been held in the stores. |
Students were invited to examine the ,
merchandise and to write an adver-
tisement for The Ellsworth Ameri- |
can. This plan is a real feature with
the boys-Leighton.
