San Diego is the birthplace of California. It was here on July 16th, 1769 Father Junipero Serra, and his followers, established the Mission San Diego de Alcala, the first of a chain of twenty-one missions which have become so important in the history of California. Several of these famous old missions are visited on the tour.

By VIRGIL PINKLEY
Southern California has come into her own! An inspection of the campus and a survey of the student body and faculty reveal these facts. A rapid glance back over the forty-nine years that Southern California has been a university show changes which are amazing, but can be attributed to the work and energy put into its development by the men and women who have gone before.
Figures given out by the Registrar’s office show that over 2800 students are now enrolled in the 1927 Summer Session and that fifty visiting professors from all parts of the nation and abroad go to make up a large part of the present faculty. Both groups contain individuals from all parts of the nation. The personnel of the faculty is perhaps the highest ever assembled for a summer session and contains the names of teachers and scholars who rank in the highest educational category.
President von KieinSmid certainly put forward a splendid iflea, and one which merits the thought and consideration of every educator when he saiti in the opening address to the Summer Session Tuesday morning, “It is only the man who cultivates
his own soul and does some individual thinking, who can work with a conviction.” Practically every student editor would like to put forward certain ideas, but holds back for fear heVvvill be called on the “mat”. If he points out what he honestly believes after talking with students and faculty members, and it looks as though it might strike at one office or individual, he is subject to a call which may end in any number of results. The day wTill come when those educators who do not seek the advice of students will take them into the meetings and counsel and find out why certain methods take with students.
It is a well known fact that various professors are extremely popular, and in most cases they get the most out of their students, because they are willing to do more than is required of them. These professors who apply common sense and fair sportsmanship to their class room work inspire, and hold the admiration of the students enrolled in their courses. It is this type of professor that every university and college should aspire to have on its faculty roll call.
Every irstitution of merit has certain very definite traditions, and one of them on this campus is that both men and women will refrain from smoking while within the confines of the campus. During the regular fall and spring semesters a group of men known as the Trojan Knights enforce such traditions upon the Trojan campus. Now that there is no group carrying out such duties, the trust and honor placed in each summer student is doubly great. To date the new members of the student body have been acting in (Continued on Page Four)
2800 Enrollment Shows
Usual Summer Increase
late Registration To Be Limited To Four Units of Work After Tuesday, July 5th; Registration Closes Next Week.
BY SUE CABLES
Showing a large increase over las110, the largest in its history, and
summer’s enrollment and an appreciable figure over the expected 2500, the first four days of the six weeks’ session closed with approximately 2800 enrolled in the various schools and Colleges. Tuesday, July 5th, will be the last opportunity to register for six units, while late enrollment for four units will close next Friday, according to Dean Rogers of the Summer Session.
That an increasing number are taking summer courses to complete requirements for certificates, degrees, and credentials, is indicated by the rapid growth of the Summer Session, which has kept pace with the proportionate enlargement of the winter class enrollments. The Graduate School and Departmnt of Education have the largest number of summer students, but varied and extensive courses ar^offered in all departments.
Law School has an enrollment of
many are attending Junior and Senior DenUstry. Summer courses in the School of Architecture and College of Music are also largely attended. The University College, formerly known as Metropolitan College, offers additional courses to those that are unable to attend regular classes on the campus, and those whose programs conflict with desired courses. The growth of thes department of the University has been almost phenomenal, already showing an increase of more than 1000 students.
The large number of well-balanced courses as well as a remarkable summer faculty are the main contributing reasons of the greatly increased enrollments, it is thought, the visiting faculty of the current season being the finest ever assembled at an S. C. Summer Session, including leaders and outstanding writers, lecturers, and authorities in all lines.

New Law Dean To
Arrive Here Today
Due to some mistake in dates, Justin Miller, the new Dean, was not scheduled to arrive on the campus until today. Dr. Frank Munroe Porter the retiring dean, and Dean Emeritus of the school recently went on an extended fishing trip. Before he went on the trip, the students of the Law School presented him with a complete fishing outfit, which the dean is no doubt using at this time Dr. Porter has a very enviable record as a Dean and Professor. While he was connected with the Law School serving as its dean for twenty-three years, he was responsible for the very high rating which the Law School now enjoys. Dr. Porter was elected to Skull and Dagger, men’s honorary fraternity.
DINNER TO HONOR MISS BROWN GIVEN
In honor of Charlotte Brown, head librarian, who is soon to leave with the floating university on its cruise around the world, members of the
library staff entertained with a lovely dinner Wednesday evening at the Twin Cedars Inn. Miss Brown will sail in September and return in May, 1928, at which time she will return to the campus to take over the duties of head librarian again for the Summer Session and regular fall semester.
During the evening a present of an electric iron which can be adjustec to any voltage of electricity was given to Miss Brown by members of the staff* The iron has a leather case and is the latest in traveling irons, since it can be adjusted.
