Chancellors Welcome It is difficult to write a fitting, single salutation for all of you who are beginning Summer Session work at the University. For many of you, the Summer Session amounts to a third semester; another step in the year's study. For others it is a return to the interrupted task of adding to your store of education and professional training. For a few it marks the beginning of college. Only a minority of you are here for the first time, and to you, on behalf of all of us, I want to extend a special welcome. We are very pleased to have you with us. There may have been a time when a Summer Session according to popular notion was a kind of appendage to the "regular" school year. That notion, if it was ever widespread, has all but disappeared. Summer Session work is not "irregular" or casual. You will find the qual ity of Summer Session instruction to be first-rate. Those in charge of our summer program have endeavored to make these weeks especially helpful, stimulating and in teresting through the use of special events, con ferences, and lectures by visiting authorities in various fields. In cooperation with the Union, the Department of Music, and other campus agencies, a series of programs has been provided to give you many pleasant hours of relaxation and enjoyment. We want you to have some fun along with your work. Clifford Hardin Chancellor Calendar Thursday, Jun 14: First day of classes. Friday, June 15: Girls' and Boys' State Dance 3:30 p.m., Ballroom.
