colleges. The courses are divided
into three groups: free lecture
courses, lectures in series, and ex-
sion courses for University credit.
Three hundred of the free extension
lectures are giyen each year. Last
year there were 1,000 applications for
the 300 lectures. Applications are
filled in the order in which they are
received. A great variety of topics
is given in the list of subects offered
for these lectures.
(By G. P. 0.)
Extension service of the University
is being called for this year by com-
munities of the state to a far greater
extent than at any other time during
the history of the Extension depart-
ment.
The request for free extension lec-
tures by faculty members, which in
the past have been given in nearly
every county of the state to an aggre-
gate yearly audience of almost 80,000
persons, has been double that of pre-
vious years. Series of lectures have
been arranged for a larger number of
places, and record enrollment is re-
ported'for all extension courses given
for Universtiy credit.
For instance, a class in Political
Economy was organized in Detroit at
the requets of the Solvay Process com-
pany for their employees. It was
thought that about

use the credit thus obtained toward
a degree. Every course involves 16
to 18 meetings of two hours each, and
in addition to the usual class work
there may be assigned readings and
special reports, depending. on the na-
ture of the course. The work is in-
tended to correspond in every partic-
ular with the same course on the cam-
pus.
Courses of this nature are being
given this year in Detroit on Philos-
ophy, Sociology, Journalism, English
Literature, and Political Economy.
Grand Rapids, Jackson, and Battle
Creek also have credit courses.
No Correspondence Courses
No correspondence courses are of-
fered by the University at present, al-
though credit is given for work done
with a reliable correspondence depar
ment of another university.
"Every year there are several hun
dred inquiries concerning correspond
ence'courses that we have to recom
mend to another university," state
Prof. Henderson recently. "Nine
per cent of these inquiries come fro
teachers in various parts of the stat

of "rendering to the state at large
such public service as may lie within
its power," the extension service was
conducted through the office of the
president for several years. Later
Prof. W. D.-Henderson, of the Physics
department, gave a portion of his time
to the work, and two years ago he re-
signed from his former position to be-
come head of the Extension depart-
ment. At present the facilities of the
department are taxed to the utmost
to meet the demands placed upon it.
ries, arranged to meet the demand of
organizations throughout the state for
five or more lectures on subjects deal-
ing with modern problems of civic,
social, economic, and national life.
According to this plan, a course of
five lectures is given, with the under-
standing that the University pay the
cost of two of the lectures, and the
organization securing the service
bears the remaining expense. The
advantage of this feature is that it
gives the organization a co-ordinated
series of addresses on any subject in

It is planned to double the office per-J

In the administration of the exten-
sion service co-operation of the regu-
larly organized faculties of the Uni-
versity is sought, and the work is car-
ried on through the medium of the va-
rious departments. This plan differs
radically from that employed by some
institutions, where a separately organ-,
ized faculty entirely distinct from the7
University faculty carries on the9
work. The latter plan has been found
to be relatively more expensive and
less'apt to enlist the interest of the
faculty as a whole.
Included in the Extension division
are twelve bureaus, each operating
through a certain department or sub-
department of the various schools and
which it is especially interested.
Recently a series of 10 lectures on
"Psychology" was provided for in
Grand Rapids. Series of lectures on
other subjects will be in progress in
Detroit, Monroe, Grand Rapids, and
other places during the winter.
The University extension credit
courses have been conducted for five
years. They are organized for the
benefit of teachers and those wishing
improvement along educational lines
as well as for persons planning to
