In order to accommodate men who have lost academic credit because of time spent in the service and in accordance with a general policy of offering greater opportunities for summer work, the University will offer at the two Summer School sessions this year, the largest number of courses in its history. Over twice as many courses as were offered last year are scheduled and the following subjects in which no courses were given last year appear in the Catalogue: Anthropology, Botany, Government, Greek and Latin. Six rather advanced courses have been added in Chemistry, and two in Physics. The engineering courses, which were discontinued last year because of the war, will be given this year in Cambridge.

While a student may obtain two full courses credit by taking two half-courses in each session, yet the majority of the courses, over eighty per cent, are given in the first term, which extends from July 1st to August 9th, and four courses are continued through both sessions. The thirty courses of the second term, which lasts from August 11 to September 13, are mostly of an advanced nature, although "Inorganic Chemistry" and a course corresponding to Economics A will be given. During the first term Professor Thomas N. Carver will give a course on "Programmes of Social Reconstruction", including Socialism in its various forms, Bolshevism, Communism, Anarchism and the Single Tax. Professor Carver will explain in this course the attitude and objects of the many types of reformers, their philosophies and their programmes.

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences has voted that the period spent at the Summer School may be counted as credit for the required period of residence toward a degree.
