#UTIHlVEN TRAISES PROJ
wo courses f ll Be Given At IFresh Air Camn Thrhtslongid

Novel Program
Combines Camp
Work,Studies
Credits In Education And
Sociology Are Offered
For First Time
Two courses, one in Education and
one in Sociology, will be given this
summer for students acting as coun-
selors at the University Fresh Air
Camp.
Counselors at the camp, who will
be mainly graduate students, will be
able to get six hours of undergraduate
or graduate credit in both depart-
ments for their work, aad will have
tuition and living expenses paid for as
well.' Work of the counselors will
consist of working in pairs in charge
of definite cabins, with each stu-
dent devoting half of his time to the
work of the courses and half to the
boys.
The purpose of the program is to
offer students unique opportunities
for study of human adjustment and
for actual work in planning programs
and leading boys, it was said. Courses
to be given include principles of
guidance and adjustment of youth,
and leadership, grouping and social
conflict in personality organization.
This will be the first time that
such a plan has been tried. In the
past over 500 University students
have acted as counselors in return
for living expenses and small salary.
The camp is located at Patterson
Lake, about 25 miles northwest of
Ann Arbor.
Committee Has
University Men
Professors Of All Interests
Have Guided Camp
The first camp committee of the
Fresh Air Camp was organized in 1924
by the Student Christian Association.
This committee was to administer the
camp's affairs and to give reports to
the trustees of the camp property.
At present the committee is com-
posed of Dr. Edward W. Blakeman,
University counselor on religion, Prof.
Lowell J. Carr of the sociology de-
partment, J. Kenneth Doharty for-
mer decathlon champion and now
track coach, Dr. Warren E. Forsythe
director of the Health Service, Prof.
R. T. Hornberger of the English de-
partment, Dr. George A. May of the
physical education department, Prof.
Howard Y. McClusky of the School
of Education, Prof. Leigh J. Young
of the forestry school, Professor Men-
efee, Dr. Egbert R. Isbell, and Homer
H. Grafton.
This committee receives no pay, but
under its guidance the original 170
undeveloped acres donated to the
camp have become a well-equipped
camp site with a replacement value
of around $45,000. The committee's
aim is to make the camp one of the
best of its kind in the country, a rec-
ognition which it has already r-
ceived.
LANTERN NIGHT CELEBRATED
On Lantern Night the women of
all classes, carrying lanterns, parade
around Palmer Field, center of wom-
en's athletics, all wearing white, and
each class wearing different colored
hairbows.

Plan

The Fresh Air Camp was first con-
ceived when Lewis C. Wleimann, '16,
met Thomas S. Evans on the Univer-
sity campus in 1919. Both men real-
ized that they were interested in a
summer camp for boys as a means of
strengthening boys' character. Rei-
man, because of his direct contact
with summer camps for five years
and his intrinsic interest in the pyob-
lems of adolescent youth, was chosen
as supervisor of the camp for its
first summer.
Reimann raised $2,567 which en-
abled the first camp to remiain open
for six weeks in the months of June,
July and August. During four ten-
day periods, 130 boys selected by wel-
fare agencies and juvenile detention
homes were served.
