Summer Session Students Greeted By Dean Rogers
The conditions under-which the 1933 Summer Session at thc University of Southern California opens is a challenge to both faculty and students. The more immediate purposes which have been rather dominantly in evidence in previous summer sessions, such as preparation for a particular type of work, or the fulfillment of requirements for some state teacher’s credential, are gradually being subordinated to a feeling of need for social-economic understanding and vision, and clear thinking. As this transition from utilitarian to social purposes takes placc, the work of thc summer session becomes more significant. Instructors and students alike are challenged to discard traditional course materials and organization, to analyze existing problems, to view their work in thc perspective of the larger purposes to be realized, and to substitute for the mere mastery of facts of'the course in hand, an understanding and appreciation of social values and increased resourcefulness in purposeful thinking. The presence of students on our catflpus, under the prevailing conditions, is evidence of the appreciation of thc larger issues with which we are faced, and a determination to meet the challenges they present-
It is indeed a pleasure to welcome both visiting faculty and students to Southern California, and to invite them to join us in an effort to make higher education, and particularly the work of our summer session function in thc solution .of problems with which we are faced.
