Aim of the Session
The coming summer session
of the University of Nebraska
is of commanding interest to
hundreds of students who are
about to register for either the
six or the eight weeks term.
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. REEVE OF

Mathematics Authority Is
Secured to Lecture
At Session.
Beginning Monday, Dr. William
D. Reeve, professor of mathe
matics. Teachers college, Columbia
university, will offer a series of
special lectures on the teaching of
high school mathematics, from
June 13 to June 21, inclusive.
He secured degrees at the Uni
versity of Chicago and the Uni
versity of Minnesota. His profes
sional experience has been widely
distributed as a teacher in the
rural schools, the graded schools,
and the University of Minnesota
training school. Since 1925 he has
been occupying his present posi
tion at Columbia.
Doctor Reeve is the author or
coauthor of eight text books in
mathematics, and has prepared
material in his special field for six
consecutive issues of the Year
Book of the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics.
Dr. H. C. Koch, professor of sec
ondary education at the Universi'y
of Nebraska who has been instru
mental in securing Doctor Reeve
as a special lecturer, reports that
Reeve is probably the most out
standing authority in his special
field.
Doctor Reeve will lecture daily
at 2 o'clock on methods of teach
ing mathematics in the junior and
senior high school. He will also
hold individual conferences at 1
o'clock. No graduate credit will
le granted for attendance at these
lectures, but those who have their
bachelor's degrees may audit this
series upon payment of a $4.00 fee.

Moritz Welcomes
Summer Students
TO SUMMER SCHOOL
STUDENTS:
Your presence here is indica
tive of your desire to improve
your opportunities and to avail
yourself of what the University
has to offer those seeking
knowledge, truth, and culture
elements indispensable in the
state.
It is the possession of knowl
edge which will enable you to
perform your part in the recon
struction of American economic
and political life, which will en
able you to take your plce as
a worthy member of what we
hope may be a better social
order, and which will give you
that optimism so essential to
progress.
The University of Nebraska
places at your command all its
facilities for the pursuit of
knowledge, and in so doing
bids you a most cordial wel
come. R. D. MORITZ,
Director, Summer Session.
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.
