COLLEGE APPROVES 12-MONTH SCHEDULE

A summer session far outstripping in its scope all previous sessions was announced yesterday by Kirtley Mather, professor of Geology and director of the Harvard Summer School.

According to Mather, the regular Summer School will continue its six weeks' course, but for the first time since its founding in 1871, it will be supplemented by a twelve weeks' course open to all men enrolled in the College in addition to students who are members of accredited universities.

Term Divided into Two Halves

This twelve weeks' summer term, which is entirely voluntary, will be divided into two halves, the first half lasting from June 29 to August 8, the second half starting on August 8 and continuing through September 12. Students may enroll in either or both periods.

As in the past, work of the summer term will be extremely intensive. Classes are scheduled to meet five times a week and in certain cases the lectures will be longer than one hour, thus making possible the completion of approximately the same amount of work in 12 weeks that is accomplished during 14 weeks of actual instruction in the current half-year. That is to say, instead of completing four half courses as is done in the first term of the regular session, two whole courses will be completed in the 12-weeks' summer session.

The tuition fee for the summer term will be $80 for each six weeks period, or $160 for the entire term, at the rate of $40 per half-course. For students regularly enrolled in the University there will be a medical and infirmary fee of $10. The usual Summer School laboratory fees will also be in force.

Tutorial Work Considered

Most of the standard courses that have been offered in past summer sessions will continue to be offered this summer. In addition, there will be several new subjects given, including courses in Japanese, Chinese, aerial navigation and map-making. According to Mather, the Faculty has even toyed with the idea of giving a course in Modern Icclaudie, but this project will probably be dropped because of lack of demand.

Tutorial work in the summer has not yet been agreed upon; however, a meeting of the tutorial chairmen will be held this week to iron out this subject as well as the general problem of tutorial instruction under the accelerated program.

Complete details concerning living arrangements in the Summer School cannot be announced until the University has a fairly accurate estimate of the number of students participating in the session.

As matters stand now, however, it is expected that all of the dormitories in the Yard will be open in addition to most of the Houses and at least one House dining hall. Two of the dormitories in the Yard will probably be assigned to women students.
