★Dean's Greetings
I am happy to welcome you to our fifty-second Summer Session. Plans for the summer point to one of the best the university has experienced. We are proud to present an excellent visiting and permanent faculty who are eager to give you challenging academic experiences.
Aside from the academic activities, the University Recreation Association has scheduled dinners, dances and frequent weekend trips. We think that all the students will enjoy some or all of the phases of thi& program. We are especially pleased to announce th?.t there will be several public lectures a week covering wide and diversified subjects, by men of distinction.
We are certain that within the classrooms, taking part in our summer activities or meeting informally in the Commons or the Grill you will discover new friends, ideas and added aspirations.

Friendship of Thomas Wolfe
To Be To.d by Speaker
A lecture which may shed some light on the enigmatic personality of novelist Thomas Wolfe will be given tomorrow morning at 11 in 133 FH.
Dr. Oscar Cargill, visiting professor of'-English from New York University and a personal friend of the famous writer, will discuss an “Encounter with Thomas Wolfe.”
Dr. Cargill taught English at NYU some years ago when W olfe, then a little-known writer. was on the faculty and became closely acquainted with him. His lecture will include personal reminiscenses and stories about the novelist.
When Wolfe’s first novel. •‘Look Homeward Angel,” appeared in 1929, it received scant notice from the critics. Sinclair Lewis seemed to have made a more careful appraisal of the new author’s talents and prospects when, in accepting the Nobel Prize in 1930, he said that Wolfe’s novel indicated that “he has a chance to become the greatest American writer of all time.”
Wolfe had not chosen novel-
writing as a career. He wanted to be a playwright and turned to fiction because he could not sell his plays.
In 1930, after teaching at NYU for a time, when he decided to devote all his time to writing, he won a Guggenheim scholarship and went to Europe to work on a new book.
He published “The Web of

i long novel, “Of Time and the River.”
His literary executors and publishers culled from the million or more words he left in his manuscripts three other books, two of them novels: “The Web and the Rock” and “You Can’t Go Home Again.”
Comparecí to Whitman
Some critics have claimed that for sheer power and fluency Wolfe had few rivals in his generation. His lyrical prose has been compared to that of the Elizabethans and to the poetry of Walt Whitman.
Dr. Cargill has been teaching at the college level since 1922. He has written several books on American Literature and has made special studies of Wolfe, Henry James and Walt Whitman. He edited two volumes of Whitman’s poetry in 1949 and 1950 and edited Thoreau’s writings on nature in 1952.
