The University of Nebraska is happy to welcome you to the
campus this summer. We believe that the University offers you
exceptional educational, cultural and recreational opportunities
and we urge you to become acquainted with the Summer Sessions
program so that the next several weeks will be truly profitable
and enjoyable ones for you.
Two hundred faculty members are kept busy during the
summer providing the needed instruction for all students and
the supervision of graduate students. Of this number, 37 are
visiting faculty members. These visitors bring to the University
campus the experience of educational institutions in about a
dozen states. Together the local and visiting faculty members
provide a rich environment for learning.
The Student Union serves as the University center for recre
ation, service and social development. Union activities during
the summer cover a wide scope from lectures, seminars and
book reviews to movies, dances and a variety of games. OI
particular interest is the Fine Arts series offered every Wednesday
evening. Union facilities include the Corn Crib, the Round-Up
Cafeteria and Main Dining Room.
In addition to the regular program of instruction, numerous
educational opportunities are provided in the form of workshops,
clinics and institutes. The 1954 Summer Sessions will again
present authorities on national and international affairs. The
program will take the form of two one-day clinics, "Meet Your
Congressman, on June 21, featuring Carl Curtis; the other, "Meet
the Minister to the United States from Pakistan" on July 12,
featuring His Excellency Amjad Ali.
A new. feature of the 1954 Summer Sessions will be a series
