Summer School's Expansion Threatens Classroom Space

Predictions about the weather often wrong; so also are predictions about the Red Sox chances winning the pennant, and Long Andy's hot tip of the day. But is still hope. One other prediction that has in the past borne relation to reality came true, year. Harvard finally guessed advance how many people were going to Summer School.

1964, only 4331 students up for Harvard's summer an enrollment of 4650 had predicted. But this year the registration of 4699 was only of the predicted 4700 students.

According to Thomas E. Crooks, director of the summer school, increase of 333 students is due to a much larger number students from colleges other than Harvard. There were 3311 students from other colleges this year as opposed to only 3021 last summer. Crooks explained that the number of high-school students had remained constant.

The only other notable increase was in the group composed of students from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences which shot up from 458 in 1964 to 573 this summer.

The enrollment of Harvard and Radcliffe students at the summer school decreased considerably this year. The number of Harvard men went from 374 to 357, while the Cliffe took an even bigger drop, from 123 to 95. For the first time this year, the Harvard graduate students outnumbered the undergraduates. This had been predicted for the past few years, with the number of graduate students steadily increasing by about 25% each year.

If the summer school keeps increasing in size, some changes in course facilities will have to be forthcoming. There are indications that the limit has already been reached.

The largest problem is in the science courses, which have a limited amount of laboratory space. The introductory biology course and the organic chemistry course were completely filled on the basis of pre-registration. 152 people are now taking Chem S-20 for credit, but several more were turned away "because there just wasn't any room for them." Even so, the course remains the largest in the Summer School. Coming close in terms of size are to English courses. There are 140 people enrolled in English S-164. "The Modern British Novel: Conrad to Virginia Woolf"; and 122 in English S-151, "The Nineteenth-Century Novel."

Leonard W. Holmberg, registrar of the summer school, said that facilities are available for increasing the teaching space. He pointed out, however, that the number of these places is necessarily limited by certain repairs which have to be made during the summer. As an example, he mentioned the renovation of Emerson Hall. Emerson has been unavailable for classes this year, as have the Biological Laboratories
