Summer Schoo|0f
Swedish To Open
AT Augustana

In the summer Of 1915 the first
summer school devoted entirely to
the study of Swedish on the col
lege level was held under the gen.
eral auspices of the Institute of
Swedish Culture, with Augustana
College, Rock Island, ILL.,, and the
North Park College cooperating
as sponsors. Forty-two students
were enrolled and were taught by
staff of four instructors. The
outcome of the summer expert
ment was so encouraging as to
justify the Institute in placing the
school on permanent basis.
The idea of a Summer School of
Swedish owed its inspiration part
ly to the example of the Middle
bury Language Schools and in
part to the recent successful ex-
Fermentation in foreign language
teaching under the Army Special
lied Training Program.
In order to secure the best re-
suits with such program of in
tensive language teaching and
learning certain favorable condi-
tons are essential. Stud n S
should live on the campus, taking
their meals together and forming
social group around their special
interest. The whole environment
should be- such as to encourage
serious study. The staff of in
structors should be made up of
teachers experienced in the new
methods and native speakers OF
the language, and they should be
free to give their entire time and
effort throughout the day to
| teaching and association with stu
dents. instruction should provide
for the needs and interests of all
students from beginners to fluent
speakers of the language and
must meet the highest academic
standards. And not least import
ant. a varied social and recrea-
tional program should be provided.
Augustana College, which will
be host to the school this year. Of
fers a situation uniquely suited to
meet these requirements. The at
tractive and spacious seminary
buildings, with its library, chapel
and classrooms will be made avail
able for the sole use of the school.
Provision is made for the group
ing of students of the school in
dormitories and at Swedish tab
les" in the college dining hall. A
golf course, a municipal swimming
pool numerous campus tennis
courts and nearby parks make
abundant provision for recreation.
Swedish folk dances and games
and singing of Swedish songs UNI
der trained directors will also have
an important place in the recrea-
tional program. Picnics, Office
parties and other social events
will provide pleasant diversion.
Every effort will be made to Gre
ate a Swedish atmosphere and to
encourage the use of the lam
guage in all school contacts and
activities.
A strong corps of teachers will
be in charge of instruction. among
them native speakers, all carefully
selected for their interest in the
new methods and procedures. and

the interests of the school. Cours-
es will be offered on beginning, in
