TWENTY-SEVEN GET
 DEGREES AT A. |.
 SUMMER SESSION
Second Session Begins to Mark Departure From Old Rule of Single Vaca-
 ton Term

Auburn, July 13.--(Special. )-The
 first term of the 1922 summer school
 of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
 will close Friday and the second term begins with regular classes on Mon day morning at 7:30 o'clock. Reg | istration of new students for the
 second term will be held Saturday
 morning. Announcement to this eff | feet was made today by Prof. Zebu- | lon Judd, dean of the school of edu- l cation and of the summer school. The present summer school marks | a new departure at Auburn, in that
 for the first time in the history of
 the institution, a full three months s l course is given consisting of two terms of six weeks each of summer school Other remarkable facts con- | nected with the summer school are that out of an enrolment of 860, the largest summer school enrolment in the history of the college, 478, or
 more than half, are men, and the vast majority of those in attendance are l studying for college or high school credits rather than to prepare them selves for the state teachers exam ination.
 Judd Explains
 This situation was brought about according to Dean Judd, by the new
 system inaugurated at Auburn which provides for high school and prospective college students taking the full three months summer course
 and receiving two -fifths of the num-
 Der of credits which accredited high
 schools or the colleges of the state
 give for one full session of nine
 months. Professor Judd pointed out that this change was made so that
 students who desire to continue their high school or college work during the summer can complete four years of college work in three years by attending the full three months ses-
 sion at the summer school for the three years.
 27 Graduates
 The closing exercises of the first term of the summer school were
 held yesterday. Twenty-seven Au-
 burn students were introduced as having completed the necessary
 work to receive degrees from the
 Alabama Polytechnic Institute. thus
 increasing the number of graduates
 which the institution has turned out this year, by this number. These students by taking advantage of the work at the summer sessions have thus saved one year in graduation. Among the prominent educators from other states who have assisted in the work of the first term were
