Despite the war, despite the Kaiser, despite the world-famine in students of masculine gender, this year’s Summer Session of the University of Southern California in many respects will surpass any of its predecessors.
Lecturers of the first rank and repute, assembled from all parts of the country, will assist the regular faculty to make the six-weeks’ period of midyear instruction a milestone in the educational careers of more than one thousand students.
Last year’s summer enrollment exceeded 900. There is every indication that the 1918 summer attendance, despite the adverse world-condltions, will show the normal percentage of increase.
At the present time plans are in large part not yet complete. However, so much is certain:
There will be twelve or more visiting professors from other institutions, including at least a half dozen whose names are of national note.
There will also be a full representation from the regular Liberal Arts faculty, Including all the heads of departments and the strongest possible corps of associates.
Instruction will be given in no less than 25 departments. In some of these —such as education, English and music—a wide variety of courses will be offered.
Dr. Moore on Faculty Among the visitors thus far added to the summer faculty is Dr. Ernest Carroll Moore, president of the Los Angeles State Normal school and one of the most successful educational ex* perts in the United States.
As in past summers, Dr. Moore’B classes are certain to be crowded. A large percentage of the summer registrants are teachers in various grammar and high schools, and the University, through Dr. Moore’s presence, is able to exert a strong Influence toward increased educational efficiency throughout the Southwest.
Dr. Burton to Lecture Dr. Richard Burton, of the University of Minnesota, gave two courses in English here summer before last, and his lectures on literature were extraordinarily brilliant. While the exact topics of Dr. Burton’s summer courses are not yet announced, it is known that they will be in the general field of modern literature.
Dr. Harold G. Fairbanks of Berkeley, who has developed a new method in geography, will give courses in “Methods of Teaching Geography,” “Geography of California,” “Geography of the Continents with Reference to the Basis of the Present War," and “Home Geography.” The last-named course will be given Saturdays and will involve excursions to nearby points. Dr. Fairbanks is well known as Supervisor of Geography in the Berkeley city schools, and as author of several geographical works In which the biological viewpoint is developed.
Music a Feature Public school music will be a greater feature of the Summer Session than ever before.
Miss Julia Crane of Potsdam, N. Y., acknowledged to be the most successful teacher of music teachers in the public school field in the United States, is to cross the continent especially to give courses at U. S. C. When the Southern California Music Teachers’ Association met several weeks ago a resolution was passed asking the University to bring Miss Crane to Los Angeles for the summer, and promising the active support of the association
