Dean Rogers' Message
It is a real pleasure and privilege for me to welcome to our campus you who have come to spend the summer with us in the realization of your educational hopes and ambitions.
Many of you are well acquainted with the University of Southern California and its summer session activities. You have been with us before and you have come to know that you are a part of us. We are proud to see you return with such joyous enthusiasm, confidence, and serious purpose.
A large number of you have come to our institution for the first time. We sincerely hope that you will, from the outset, feel yourself at home. All of the facilities of the university are here to serve you. You have come with very sincere and definite developmental plans and purposes. We want to assure you that it will be the pleasure of the administrative and teaching forces to aid you to the best of their possibilities.
The summer session activities are quite generally characterized by seriousness of purpose, sound work, profitable association with men and women of mature and broad experience, and an interest in wholesome recreation. It is proper that it should be so. Very often throughout the year many of us have been working and planning by ourselves within a narrow circle of association and reference. The summer campus affords an opportunity for convincing study and clarification of issues through intelligent discussion and criticism. It is our hope that you will avail yourselves to the full of the opportunities that will be yours in conference and classroom; that you will meet the challenge brought to you by the faculty and by your own student groups. Enjoy the social and recreational activities that form a part of our summer program.
In a social democracy we need intelligent, cultured and honest leadership. The University of Southern California welcomes you in the furtherance of that ideal. Sincerely yours, Lester B. Rogers.

PHI DELTA KAPPA

Leaving the P. E. Main street station at 9 ajn , the “Trojan Special” will roll leisurely to the foot of “Los Angeles' back yard mountain” where the exrusionists will transfer to the Incline railway which will carry them up the mountain's precipitous side.
Dancing, picnicking, horseback riding, hiking, and mountain sports of all kinds will be participated In by Trojan excursionists. Particularly lauded, however, by last year's group, was the scenic
magnificence and the panoramic view of 2,000 square miles of sou thern California, including por tions of four counties, 56 cities, and even distant Catalina Island, which may be viewed, according to Stonier.
Though two returning cars are available during the early after noon, Stonier urges that those who make the trip return home on the 7:20 p.m. car in order that they do not miss the spectacular electric display afforded when the southland’s cities flame with their millons of lights.
Tickets for the excursion may be purchased from Mrs. Marie Poetker at the cashier's window in the Student Union book store.
