The thirty-eighth session of the Summer Courses of Instruction in Arts and Sciences of Harvard University will begin on Wednesday, July 1, and end on Wednesday, August 12, 1908.
Class-room exercises will be held ordinarily in the forenoon of five days of the week for six weeks.
In several important respects the Summer School this year will mark a distinct advance over that of former years, inasmuch as 92 courses of study are offered, as against 76 last year, and 85 in 1903, which has been the maximum heretofore. Of the 92 courses offered this year, 65 have been accepted by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for the bachelor's degrees from students in the University, as against 47 so accepted in 1907; and 20 of the courses have been approved as leading toward a "master's" degree, as compared with nine such courses last year.
The tuition fee varies from $20 to $30, the larger fees being charged in the laboratory courses. A registration fee of $2 is required of each student. Eighty dollars for six weeks may be regarded the average expenditure of a student with a single course of study. Historical excursions, evening lectures and social gatherings are abundant. Reduced railway fares will be arranged whenever possible.
Further detailed information may be obtained from the chairman, Professor J. L. Love, 4 Lawrence Hall, Cambridge, Mass.
