The faculty for this summer session will include about 135 members of our regular fac ulty. Most chairmen of depart ments and leading professors are available during the sum mer. A number of lecturers with attractive personalities have come from other universi ties to add strength to our summer courses. The summer sessions adds many types of students. Teach ers from ail portions of the state attend the summer school to perfect themselves in some major subject. More and more students with bachelor's de grees return for graduate study. Other students who were unable to carry a full schedule during the regular year attend to expedite securing their de grees. E. A. BURNETT, Chancellor. DR. WM. It.

SCHEDULE VARIES FROM LAST YEAR oon Classes Abandoned; Fewer 7 O Clock Periods. Several variations in this year's summer school schedule are no ticeable by a comparison with last year's arrangement of classes, ac cording to Walter B. Johns, super visor of mathematics in Teachers college high school. This year there are only twenty three 7 o'clock classes as com pared with about thirty last year. Most of the classes are held at S o'clock, the most popular hour of the day, Mr. Johns said. Altho last year the experiment was tried of holding classes during the noon hour the plan has been abandoned this 3'ear. "On the whole they worked fine," Mr. Johns explained, "but there were too many occasions when group luncheons or other events occurring between 12 and 1 o'clock caused conflicts." Last summer there was some agitation for the elimination of all afternoon classes when the next schedule was made up. This could not possibly be done, Mr. Johns pointed out, because no way could be found to place all laboratories and classes in the morning without conflicts. 1)1!.
