SUMMER SCHOOL FOR 1907

Term to Extend from July 2 to August 9.--Announcement of Courses.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Summer School for 1907 will open on Tuesday, July 2, and will close Friday, August 9. The courses given in the Summer School are designed primarily for teachers, or for persons preparing to teach, but are open without formal examination to all qualified persons. Some of the courses may be counted, towards the degree of A.B. or S.B. by students in the College or Scientific School.

In most courses the classes will meet five times a week during the six weeks of the term, and as a rule each student takes only one course; but there are certain combinations of two courses which may be taken together. The class-room periods vary from one to two hours in courses conducted by lectures or recitations, but are usually longer in drawing or laboratory courses.

In some departments courses are given in sequence, so that students may in successive years take a series of courses in a special field. The tuition fee varies from $20 to $30 in different courses; and when more than one course is taken, the full fee is charged for each course. As far as necessary all the resources of the University in libraries, museums, laboratories, and reading rooms are at the service of the Summer School, including the text-book library collected by the Department of Education.
