"Summer School Offers Students Real Opportunity"
Receive A. B. Within Three Years and Save $2,000,
Is Suggestion of Director
With the opening of the Summer Session at the University, June 5 and ending the ten weeks' term Aug. 10, the opportunity is given students to shorten the length of time in doing their University work. By attending three Summer Sessions, the regular four year course of the University may be completed in three, according to the longer, director of the Summer Session.
"Much of the opposition to doing the university work in three years is fractional providence," said Dean Schreiber. "The demand of imperative demands as it is, it behoves the individual to attain maxima progression as early as possible in life. Assuming average intelligence and a secure job in three years, instead of in four, starts one year sooner in his chosen career. Such a person may spend the rest of his career on degree. Thus he has a definite advantage and superior preparation." Dear
No Overload Carried by Student
A proposed course for the three years must be Session 10, 10 weeks, 10 credit hours; first year, 30 credit hours; second Summer Session, 10 credit hours; sequence of sessions; first session, 6 credit hours; third year, 30 credit hours. At no point does the student carry an unreasonable load.
No Overload Carried by Student
The enrollment in the Summer Sessions has increased yearly during the last few years. In 1925 the total enrollment was 1,576; for 1926 the total enrollment was 1600 and in 1927, 1,348. It is unclear, the signs indicate continued growth in enrollment," said Dean Schwegler.
"During this time many other summer sessions have suffered actual recurrence in enrollments, in apices of the university and in colleges that have been offered. The supposition is that the policy of the Summer Session program would be the most instruction and insisting on superior standards is bringing to the University a type of superior students than in previous years."
The standards are higher during the Summer Session, rather than otherwise. The teaching personnel, in care of each department, is made up of outstanding men in each of the departments and those who are identical in content with those offered during the winter session, only they are on a condensed basis. The classes are relatively small and contact with the instructors is more informal than at home. More personal help to students having trouble with their courses.
Teaching Standards Are High
"A student could well afford to borrow money to attend summer school," said Schwartz. "I'll be more likely to win the gain, he will ultimately save from $2,000 to $2,500. Added to this, he would enjoy a much longer summer and winter school sessions, a much longer vacation than any business or professional man could afford."
The following schools are offering work in the Summer Session leading to a degree: Graduate School, College, University; Nursing, School of Fine Arts, School of Medicine and the School of Business. There are also many courses available for a degree in other schools co-opting in the Summer Session.

Charles Sanford Skilton was born at Northampton, Mass., in 1868. His family on both sides had lived in New England since early colonial days, and he graduated from Yale. He was graduated at Yale in 1889 with literary honors, other classmates being Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania and John Gamble Rogers, the architect of the school building; a composition appeared, Choral Odes to the Greek play "Electra" of Sophocles, given in Greek at Smith College.

He was a member dean as dean of the School of Fine Arts until 1915, organizing the concert course, choral society and musical organization of the school and overseeing for the dedication of the Law building.
The proximity of Haskell Institute, the government's largest school for Indians, gave Skilton an opportunity to develop tribal melodies, and be conceived the idea of basing on them compositions which should express the Indian's own point of view. Their first student Indian Dances was first composed for a student opera which was never performed, and afterwards arranged for string quartet, at which time they were played in 1916 on tours and gained their national recognition. The composer then arranged them for proved performances on firm they proved even more successful.
