Summer Courses of Instruction.

The following announcement about the summer courses has been made:

The courses of Summer Instruction at Harvard University are under the charge of a committee appointed by the president and Fellows. The object of these courses is to afford students an opportunity of pursuing, during the vacation, studies in certain objects which may aid them in their work as teachers or in their preparation for advanced courses given during term time. During the summer of 1892 it is expected that courses of instruction will be given as follows: -

Chemistry, four courses, viz.: Fundamental Principles of Chemistry; Qualitative Analysis; Quantitative Analysis; Organic Chemistry.

Botany, two courses, viz.: Vegetable Morphology and Physiology and Microscopical Anatomy of Phaenogams; Cryptogamic Botany.

Physics, two courses.

Geology, three courses.

Engineering, three courses, viz,: Typographical Surveying; Railway Surveying: Electrical Engineering.

Physical Culture, two courses.

Physiology and Hygiene.

American History.

Socialism and Social Problems.

French, two courses.

History and Art of Teaching.

Courses at the Medical School.

Circulars descriptive of these courses may be obtained, after January 1, 1892, on application to the Secretary of Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.

In addition to the above mentioned courses, certain lectures on methods of instruction will be given by teachers in the several departments represented by the schools. These lectures will be open, without charge, to the persons who are enrolled as members of any of the summer schools in the University.

In general these courses are adapted to the needs of those who intend to be teachers in the several subjects. Several of the more elementary, however, are intended to meet the needs of beginners and may be taken by students in lieu of the corresponding courses in the college and the Lawrence Scientific School, and may be counted towards a degree.

During the session of the schools the College Library will be open from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. The Museum of Comparative Zoology, the Peabody Museum, and the Mineralogical Collection in Boylston Hall are also accessible to students during the summer vacation.

In general the fees for the above mentioned courses, except those in Chemistry, Engineering and Physical Training, are $20 for each course.

Board and lodging may be obtained in Cambridge during the summer vacation at a cost of from $5 to $10 per week.
