Renewed evidence of the way in which the University is meeting war conditions is to be found in the partial list of Summer School courses announced today. Although 150 members of the University teaching force are absent on war service, 80 courses comprising instruction in every department of the University.
There is a distinct war note throughout a great number of the courses. Most directly so is the military course of six-weeks intensive training, three weeks in barracks and three weeks in camp. Other courses of war interest are those on Regimental Supply Service; Problems of the war, given in part by President Lowell; Principles and Methods of War Relief, a course designed to train persons for Home Service under the American Red Cross; Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, for the training of those intending to enter the Navy or the mercantile marine. Particular attention will be given to the history of the warring countries, and opportunities will be afforded for learning to speak the European languages. The courses in Vocational Guidance, to be given this year as usual, will have added interest on account of the great importance the subject will assume in America with the return of disabled soldiers.
The Summer School will begin on Monday, July 1, and the courses will, as in former years, last six weeks. Dormitory and boarding accommodations will be provided and plenty of recreation and instructive entertainment afforded.
