Professor Hal To DreA
The Institute is being sponsored by
the American Council of Learned So-I
cieties and the American Council of
the Institute of Pacific Relations be-
sides the University.
The Institute was begun last year
in recognition of a "growing public
and academic interest in Eastern
Asia," according to Prof. Robert B.
Hall, of the geography department,
director of the Institute and chair-
man of the Oriental Civilization de-
gree program committee.,
"It is the natural outgrowth of a
long-continued association between
the University and the peoples and
government of the Far East," accord-
ing to Professor Hall. "This associa-
tion was begun with the appointment
of President AAngell as envoy extra-
ordinary to the Chinese Empire, and
has since been maintained by various
members of the faculty who have
served in numerous technical and dip-
lomatic capacities in the Far East.
The University has today the largest
enrollment of Far Eastern students{
of any American university."

President's Message
1
PRESIDENT RUTHVEN
The University of Michigan will
hold its 45th annual Summer Ses-
sion this year. 'Having attained
such an age and record of eper-
ience, the Summer Session is, of
course, recognized by all of~us as
a regular division of the Univer-
sity year in which it is possible to
do exactly the same kind of work
as in the September to dune ses-
sion and thereby shorten the
number of years necessary to se-
cure a degree.
I would, however, call attention
to what I believe to be the most
distinctive and remarkable aspect
of our Summer Session; namely,
the Institutes which are quite
regularly held in connection with
it. This year the program includes
x Linguistic Institute, an Insti-
tute of Far Eastern Studies, be-
sides the Traveling Seminar in
Music Literature, the curriculum
in social work in Detroit, the
special lectures in biological
chemistry, and the Graduate
Center being maintained at the
Northern State Teachers College,
at Marquette. These Institutes
provide opportunities for concen-
trated studies in the fields which
they cover and in some cases a
chance to study subjects which
are not available during the regu-
lar academic session. What
gives us most satisfaction about
them is that, to a very great ex-
tent, it is possible for the Univer-
sity of Michigan to plan these
special programs from its own
resources. By these and other
means the Summer Session stu-
dent today is being offered ad-
vantages far greater than were
available five or ten years ago.

The University vill be fortunate
this year in having many distin-
guished visiting professors as mem-
bers of the faculty of the Summer
Session.
Prof. James Holly Hanford, a form-
er member of the English department,
will return to Ann Arbor from Wes-
tern Reserve University for the Sum-
mer Session. Professor Hanford is
one of the foremost Milton scholars of
the country and his handbook on Mil-
ton is invaluable as an introductory
textbook, arousing much interest in
Milton's works.
TheLinguistic Institute will have
this summer such outstanding men
as Prof. Leonard Bloomfield, Prof.
Edgar Howard Sturtevant, Prof."Ro-
land G. Kent, and Prof. Hayward
Keniston. Professor Bloomfield,
chairman of the Department of Lin-
guistics of the University of Chicago,
is one of the outstanding linguistic
scholars of the world. During the
Summer Session he will give a course
in the structure of the Algonquin lan-
guages. He is a former president of
the Linguistic Society of America and
is the author of an outstanding book,
"Language," which was published in
1933.
Professor Sturtevant
Professor Sturtevant is noted fo
his work in the field of Hittite lan-
guage, which has cast great light up-
on the importance of Hittite civiliza-
tion in Indo-European history. He
is at present a member of the faculty
of Yale University and is Associate
Director of The Linguistic Institute.
He was at one time president of the
Linguistic Society of America.
Professor Kent is an outstanding
scholar in Old Persian and has also
made fine contributions in the his-
torical study of Latin. Professor Kent,
who comes to Ann Arbor from the
University of Pennsylvania, has been
the Secretary of the Linguistic So-
ciety since its founding in 1924.
Professor Keniston, a member of
the department of Spanish of the
University of Chicago, has done fine
work with the Spanish syntax count
which has been of immeasurable aid
to the makers of Spanish textbooks.
He servedI on the faculty of the
University Summer Session in 1936.
Law Professors
The Law School will have a dis-
tiiguished visitor during the Summer
Session in the person of Judge Orrie
Leon Phillips, of the 10th U. S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals, Denver, Colo.
Judge Phillips' work at the Univer-
sity this summer will consist of
courses in Constitutional law, which
is the field of his particular interest.
His judgeship is one of the most im-
portant in the country, and only nine
other men hold similar judicial rank.
Judge Phillips is a Michigan alumnus,
class of 1908, and received an honor-
ary degree of Doctor of Laws here in
1935.
Prof. Stephen Timoshenko, who
will teach in the College of Engineer-
ing during the Summer Session, has
had a very distinguished career. Since
coming to this country from Russia
in 1917 he has been associated with
the Westinghouse Electric Co., has
taught in the engineering school here
and is at present a professor of en-,
gineering mechanics at Stanford
University. In his particular field of
engineering mechanics he is consid-
ered among the first authorities, and
his effect upon the teaching of en-
gineering mechanics in this country
has been very profound.

The Linguistic Institute, sponsored
by the Linguistic Society of America
will be offered this summer for the
third annual season as a regular
part of the University Summer Ses-
sion.
The institute is to consist of class-
work, lectures, and luncheon confer-
ences. It is offered for the study
of language and linguistics from a
historical and a structural point-of-
view, according to the director, Prof
C. C. Fries of the English, depart-
ment. It aims to develop the scien-
tific study of languages and their
functions among peoples. Laws of
language change and growth, his-
tories of various languages, and stud-
ies of language structures will also
be treated this summer.
Graduate studentsrof languages,
men doing research, and professors
of languages who are seeking an his-
torical background for their work
will be the people to whom the work
will particularly appeal, it was said.
Undergraduates who are concentrat-
ing in the fields offered and who
have had the prerequisites will be al-
lowed to take the courses.
Laboratory work and regular classes
will comprise the greater part of the
program of the Institute. This will
be supplemented by a series of lec-
tures by the staff and by guests
brought to Ann Arbor for the pur-
pose. The luncheon conferences will
be held twice weekly in the new Hor-
ace H. Rackham Graduate Building.
Linguistic topics will be discussed at
these conferences, intended primarily
for members of the institute but open
to the ;public.
