Old Mount Oread Invites You to Attend Summer School
introduction
Series of Special Musical Programs Will Be Featured
Recitals, Community Sings and Other Ensemble Work Are Planned, Says Dean
A series of special musical programs will be featured as a part of the educational as well as the recreational side of the six weeks summer school session, according to the board's March outfit, of the School of Fine Arts.
The exact dates have not been definitely placed but the entertainment will include a series of four senior recitals by four prospective seniors in piano, Kathleen Simpson, Robert Armold, and Gustave Soderlund.
Faculty to Give Recitals
Faculty to Give Recitals
The musical faculty of the School of Fine Arts will provide four recitals one in violin by Prof. Waldernar Gmelch, head of the violin department; a joint recital by Louise Milbeer and Ann Maria Janisit, a joint recital by Irene Penezzo, maceo soprano and Prof. W. B, Downing head of the voice department.
they hope also, Dean Swarthout said, to have a recital of ensemble work by the vocal faculty of the School of Fine Arts, and the University string triumph at the dates of which he is concerting at the beginning of the summer term.
There will also be community singing at the regular summer school concavations in Fraser chapel, and probably one or two outdoor singles, similar to the ones held last year on campus with orchestral assistance.
Successful Last Year
Last year they were unusually successful, Dean Swarthout said, were carried out with a wonderful spirit and were entered into with general participation by a great number of students. The songs they sang were well-known and true folk songs, with a few lighter ones of high grade included.
"Their decided success last year," said Prof. W. H. Johnson, assistant director of the summer session, "encouraged us to continue giving them." There was always a good crowd, he said, and it provided a good source of joy and entertainment to both students and faculty on hot summer nights. He entered into with a great deal of enthusiasm and were a good means of bringing students together.
Summer Students Have Access to Several Collections
Art Exhibits Will Be Open
Several exhibitions, under the auspices of the departments of design and painting in the School of Fine Arts will be open to summer session students in the exhibition rooms or central Administration building.
Work of the students in painting and drawing will be on exhibit for commencement week and will remain up for the summer months, according to the school's schedule, the department of painting. In addition, the Brynwood permanent loan collection will be on display during the entire summer. This collection was loaned to the University by Chester Woodward of Topeka and concerts at the Arts Center are curated by literary artists, most of which are done in the realistic style.
An exhibit of work of the students of the department of design which will also be on display for commencement is a large paperboard card to Miss Rosemary Ketcham, head of the department of design. This display consists of examples of work done by students who are taken as part of a course offered in the year course offered by the department and includes printed textiles, silk and creatones and other examples of commercial art, posters, studies in fabric and many pieces of reproduction work.
Later on, a special exhibit of Japanese prints from a New York collection will be put on display. The regular exhibition of posters will be enlarged by the addition of some new works and paintings, as well as formation of etchings from Czechoslovak artists will also be open for the benefit of summer session students

R. O. T. C. Office to Close; Members to Go to Camps
From Summer Session Kansas, 1924.
The summer work for the local R. O. T. C. will be in summer camps. As far as is known at the present time the local office will be closed, and no improvements are expected until after school opens in the fall.
Forty-nine members of the Lcand R. O. T. C. are to attend camp. There will be 23 members of the engineers camp at Fort Snelling, Minn. The other 26 members will attend the coast artillery camp at Fort Manroe, a local unit have been ordered to repair the inactive camps for summer work.
University Students in Summer Are of Two Classes, Says Johnson
Some Take Work to Graduate
Sooner; Teachers Make Up
Second Group
There are two main classes of stidents that attend the summer session of the University, according to Prof W. H. Johnson, assistant director. Both of these classes derive a great amount of experience in the cause of the wide range of courses offered. The number of courses of fered has increased a good deal in the last few years because of the increase in attendance. This increase is indicative of the growing interest in school offered by the University.
The first of these two main classes is made up of those regular students who enter in order to take extra work embling them to graduate sooner, to make up work, and to take research and laboratory work.
This class of summer school students has been increasing each year and the summer school management recognizing this has made as little difference between the work of the summer school and the regular school year.
The second class of summer school students is made up of teachers and administrators from the public schools of this or other station. Many of these enter to work for higher degrees, others to take special courses that will fit their career goals. These students pursue courses for purely recreational reasons seeking to better themselves culturally.
In the past it has been the custom for many professional men to take work in summer school. Many consider it a part of their vacation and takes subjects that they are interested outside of their regular routine jobs.
For these classes and others interested in the pursuit of knowledge or training of any kind, we are located with large, well equipped buildings, a very competent faculty, a beautiful campus and exceptional conditions promised Professor Johnson.
The schedule for the summer an-
sion offers work in the following de-
partments and schools; The Graduat-
e School; the College of Libera
Arts and Sciences; the School of Bus
ing; the School of Engineering; the School of
Fine Arts; the School of Law and the
School of Medicine.
Living Conditions Better
Summer Students Have Wider Range of Choices
"During the summer the student has more choice as to where he shall room and board," said Professor Johnson. The rush for accommodations is not as great as in the winter and fall.
Facilities for taking care of students during the summer session are very good this year, according to W. H. Johnson, assistant director of the summer session. "Conditions of this session include not to do, and probably superior to, the conditions for the *i* winter session," said Professor Johnson.
Mt. Oread Is Site of Much Building for This Summer
The University accommodations will be open to students during both sessions. The University Commons will serve two meals a day, breakfast and lunch. Corbin hall, the new dormitory for women, will be open with accommodations for 123 students. Students are exposed to the evening to students who do not room at the dormitory, including both men and women.
A few houses on the co-operative plan, under the supervision of the University, will be open to women. Several fraternity houses will be open to men. The rooms are board and board, while a number of private homes and restaurants will for
vase rooms and dining nish places to room and board.
Student Union Building North of Dyche Museum to Be Principal
Project
Students here this summer will find many improvements under construction. The ground breaking for the student, Union building will be held June 8, Commencement day, two buildings, the Chi Omega house and the University Club, are nearing completion.
"The Union building is a meeting place for the students and a headquarter for the alumna. It is in a word a home center for the University of Kauai," and Fred Elworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, said. The building costs $600 when computers, but only a $275,00 part will be constructed at the present time. This part consists of the sub-basement, foundation, first floor and the assembly room on the second floor. There are to be three offices: men's games room, women, game room, the cafeteria in the basement, and the assembly room on the second floor. There will be offices, rooms for committee meetings, reception rooms and the like, and a fund of Chicago are the architects.
The location for the new audiotarium crft which 825,000 was appropriated, has been selected. It is between the Engineering and Geology buildings. The state architect has been working on fish preliminary studies in the area. It is to be 5000 and either the avena or the bacillary types will be used.

the Quinnillrill, August 21, 1862.
The University club building is expected to be completed about June 15. "This purpose is to work and stand for the things in a community that University men should stand for," said Dr. C. K. Nelson, George Chandler, B. S. II, of Topaka, made the plans for the building.
Of the Greek letter houses, the Chi Omega, at the west end of the campa, is nearly complete. The Pi Kappa Alpha, 12th and Louisiana, is being ruined because of the destruction by a fire last winter.
The construction of the towers on the south end of the stadium is contemplated. They will house dressing rooms when completed.
Thayer Collection on View
The Thayer art collection, to be housed in the old Spooner Library building will be open for the first time to the public during the commemoration week and will remain open until September. It is one of the most valuable art collections in this part of the country and includes examples of design in textiles, ceramics and costumes, in addition to paintings reproductions of the American school and Japanese prints of exceptional merit.
Remodeled Spooner Art Gallery to Be Opened in June
It was presented to the University by Mrs. W. B. Thayer, of Kansas City, Mo., and will be in charge of Miss Minnie Moore who was former secretary to the chancellor. For some time it has been in the University's possession, but on account of inadequate display facilities, the collection has not received recognition; the library has been specially remodeled for the exhibit, however, and in the future will house the collection.
Students of the summer session will have a chance to study art in all its forms and learn to appreciate it better. A wide range offered in the collection.

Growth Due to Opportunities Offered in Vacation Time Study
Within the last few years the recognition of the summer session in the Graduate School has increased very rapidly. A very good indication of this growth is the fact that the summer session enrollment has increased from 156 in 1920 to 374 in 1924.
With this increase in enrollment there has been a corresponding increase in the number of courses offered by the department of opportunities for research and study.
In addition to the regular course offered in departments where larger enrollment comes, there is provided a portion of the time of one or two men for thesis and research work with graduate students.
It is possible now for graduate students to complete the requirements necessary for a masters degree in three full summer sessions. Many students are coming to summer session to make up work needed in the preparation for graduate work. All departments now require a minimum amount of prework and time on the summer park and the summer session offers a very good opportunity for reaching this minimum.
The graduate work of the summer session appears especially to teachers. They can obtain very necessary additional preparation for work without loss of time from their schools.
The Graduate School offers work in the following departments this summer: Anatomy; bueracteriology; biochemistry; botany; chemistry; economics; education; English; penetoology; French; geology; history; mathematics; northwesternism; philosophy and psychology; physiology and pharmacology; physics; political science; sociology; Spanish; and zoology.

Mixer in Robinson Gymnasium Was Big Event
Summer session attendance at the University has been on a general increase from 1916 to 1922, when it reached its highest mark of 1,562 students in 1927, to 1,331 students, and last year there was an increase of 34. In a report made by the association of summer directorates, nearly all colleges and universities show a marked increase in 1917 and 1918 on account of the war.
The regular number of faculty members at the University of Kansas summer sessions is 107, each teaching 15 hours a week. This is more work than the average for summer sessions but other university programs do not work from instructors are Syracuse, Northwestern, and the state universities of Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana Oklahoma, New York, and Pennsylvania. The length of summer sessions varies from three to twelve weeks, but Kansas with a six and a four week semester is near the aver
The activities of the students attending the summer session last year were of a varied and interesting nature, leading to reports from those concerned.

A community sing led by Dean D. M. Swartwhout of the School of Fine Arts on the lawn north of Powder shops on the cool summer evenings was one of the features of the program that even the townpeople enjoyed. Recitals of the Fine Arts studio were given to the public in Fraser chamber.
During the summer, twilight basketball was one of the athletes of the season. Golf, swimming and other activities were to participate in them. Peter lakte
When Thermometers Bubble O'er in Summer-time, Students Seek Shady Spots of Out of Doors
When the sun beats down on **Mount Oread** and the thermometer runs up to 100 in the shade and the books become awfully heavy, then is the time that the summer school student gets the cool spot of the great out of doors.
Around Lawrence there are a lot of these beautiful shady nocks that can afford to the worm out student the much needed rest and coolness that is craved during these days. Of course old Potter is faithful and always ready to receive friends and give refreshment to the needy.
Then to the south some four miles away is Brown's grove, with the Wakarusa wibbling its way through the green lawns of the old camp ground. The big caws spread their huge limbs, ever beckoning to the weary student,
As one ventures a little farther away from the crest of the Hill to the westward is the *Quartilh cemetery* where one can spend an afternoon in peace and solitude under the fr trees. The only thing to break the resting silence is an occasional whistle of a Bobwhite.

To the south-west a distance of 12 miles is Rock Creek, with its clean, cool spring water ripening and tumbling over the builders then falling beneath the rock. Near the mouth a stone bridge. In its waters you found the fish that are fish.
But not to be overlooked is the old favorite of the past 40 years, the Kaw. The majestic Kaw flowing over to the sea. On its bosom every evening students drift in their cannies and the soft glw of the moon light.
The Fourth of July celebration was one of the old fashioned kind with everything free. Prizes were given to fiddlers, bicycle races, old timers and students. The participants were the features of the day, closing with a free concert at night.
Looking to the eastward, one can see from the Hill, Blue Mound mysterious and dark. Only a short drive of eight miles separates the students from its deep myriad of cliffs and landscapes, landmark, used by the Indians, then the pioneers, are paths leading onto its nummity, where trees spread over its surface like umbrellas. On the northern slope is an old grave yard, one if the oldest in the park, and there are the men who crossed the Mississippi before the days of 49.
Dramatics on the hill gave several entertainments for the students, including some very fine dramatic productions. This year arrangements have been made for a revue to be given at the Bowersock theater.

Use Vacant Time!
University sessions and public school teaching positions soon will be coming to a close, and vacation time will be at hand.
What are you going to do with the period before another term starts? Use it, or waste it?
University of Kansas Summer Sessions offer opportunity for University students to do additional work and reduce the time before they receive their diploma, or make it possible to devote more time to interesting subjects.
More especially, the Summer Sessions, because of the stressing of graduate work, and the University's excellent facilities for research, are of value to the public school and high school teachers, enabling them to add to their educational equipment and increase their earning capacity.
More than 200 courses are open in all schools of the University. The whole University plant will be at the disposal of the Summer Session students.
First Term: June 11 to July 18.
Second Term: July 20 to Aug.14.
