M SUMMER Cl. r Ai an 4:Iaiti SECTION TWO SUPPLEMENT ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1940 ........... Summer Session To Open H4 Institute Departments To Cooperate In Presenting Study Course Entry Into Course Open Only To Gradautes; To Present Lectures Visiting Professors To Deliver Talks Seven departments of the literary college will cooperate to offer a Graduate Study Program in Amer- ican Culture and Institutions during the 1940 Summer Session of the University. The course, giving two hours cred- it, is one of the most outstanding things ever attempted in a Summer Session, Prof. Louis A. Hopkins, di- rector, said yesterday. As a point of special interest during the pres- ent international trouble, he con- tinued, it will concentrate on the aspects of our own development in- stead of those of the Far East and Latin America which were presented in past years. Entry to the Program will be open only to graduate. students who have the approval of the departmental heads: economics, Prof. I. L. Sharf- man; English, Profs. J. L. Davis and M. L. Williams; geography, Prof. S. D. Dodge; history, Prof. D. L. Du- mond; philosophy, Prof. C. B. Vib- bert; political sciences, Prof. J. S. Reeves, and sociology, Prof. R. C. Fuller. During the opening week of the Session, students in Course 350, the official name of the Program, will meet in seven different sections, each under the direction of the depart- mental heads of the Program. This week of meetings, Professor Hopkins explained, will serve to prepare ground work and to determine on which aspects of the general course students of particular departments are to concentrate. The body of the Program, he con- tinued, will consist of a series of lectures open to the public and closed round table discussion sessions on five topics, "Regionalism and Na- tionalism," "Religion and Educa- tion," "Literature and Art," "Com- merce and Industry" and "Govern- ment and Politics." Each topic will be under consider- ation one week, featuring three eve- ning lectures, one afternoon lecture and an evening round table discus- sion after the last lecture. In addi- tion. the departmental heads of the Program may call spegial sessions of (Continued on Page 10) Summ er Session Calendar June 13-15 Registration in the Law School.

More Comprehensive List Of Courses To BBySchool Of Mus By HELEN CORMAN Wider opportunities for cultural contacts and a more comprehensive list of courses will be offered at this year's Summer Session of the School of Music which marks its eleventh appearance as a unit of the Universi- ty, according to Dr. Charles A. Sink, president of the School of Music. For the preceding 42 years, courses in music have been offered by the University School of Music in a sep- arate Summer Session. By becom- ing a part of the regular summer, curricula, students will enjoy the additional privilege of electing studies other than music, Dr. Sink pointed out. Scope Is Wide The scope of instrucuion includes courses to meet the needs of four types of students: those who are candidates for graduate degrees with concentration in music, M.M. and A.M.; students in other schools and colleges of the University who wish to study music for purely cultural purposes and who wish to apply cred- it earned for such study toward the A.B. or B.S. degree; professional mu- sicians, supervisors of music in pub- lic schools and private teachers who wish to broaden their training in a specific sub,iect or department whe- ther or not they are candidates for graduate or undergraduate degrees; and others who as special students wish to "take lessons." In addition to courses in individual instruction from elementary to ad- vanced grades in piano, voice, violin, violoncello, organ and principal or- chestral instruments, a diversified program in musicianship, including theory, literature, history and anal- ysis of music is offered. Both ele- mentary and secondary school in- struction in music, vocal and instru- mental is included in the field of mu- sic education. Special concerts, lectures, excur- sions and other forms of entertain- ment have been arranged as part of the daily program of the Summer Session. Each Tuesday at 8:30 p.m., faculty concerts, open to the public without admission charge, will be given in Hill Auditorium. A small admission will be charged for a series of plays which are presented in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre under the auspices of Play Production. One of the features of this suns- mer's session will be a three-week High School Band Clinic which will meet from July 8 to July 27. Mem- bership in the Clinic is limited to high school students, recent gradu- ates who are interested in music eith- er as a vocation or avocation and to instructors and directors of music in secondary schools. The Clinic has two purposes, Dr. Sink explained. Pro- fessional leadership will be offered high school students and secondary school instructors and directors will have the opportunity of observing the presentation, by practical demon- stration, of modern methods of' or- ganizing and teaching music as a subject of definite educational value. University Houses Visitors Students attending the three-week' ' High School Band Clinic will be housed and boarded under University' auspices for a nominal fee and all activities, educational or recreational, will be taken over by University offi- cials. Secondary school teachers, regularly enrolled in the Summer Ses- sion will not be charged an addition- al fee for participation in, or obser- vation of the Clinic. Dr. Sink stated. Guest faculty for the Summer Ses- sion are: William Breach, supervisor of music, Buffalo; Olaf Christian- sen. choral music. Oberlin; Mr. Roxy Cowin, assistant suoervisor of music. Ann Arbor; Nazareno Delaubertis, orchestra conductor, Kansas City; Father William Finn, director, Paul- ist Choristers, New York; Cleo Fox, director of instrumental music, Kala- mazoo; Charles Gilbert, Curtis In- stitute, Philadelphia; Dale Harris, director of instrumental 'music, Pon- tiac; Ernst Krenek, composition, Vas- sar College; Erik Leidzen, band con- ductor, New York; Clifford P.

Workshop School Planned At IDecatir Under the auspices of the W K. Kellogg Foundation and Ihe Univer- sity Summer Session a workshop for secondary-school teachers will be provided at Decatur, Micbigan for work in child development. comm tnu-= nity problems, and instruction. As a basis for this work an experi- mental school of approximately one hundred high school students will be organized. The instructional program will be directed by the teachers who I enroll in the nroaranm Child growth PROF. LOUIS A.

The two charges for Wilderness Park (geography) will be $35 and (Continued on Page 10) Many Prominent Visiting Faculty Members Join Staff For Summer Term Lecture Prograis, Symposia Arranged Featuring prominent visiting lec- turers and special programs not avail- able during the regular University year in addition to a curriculum of ordinary studies, the 47th annual Summer Session of the University will open June 24. Offering primarily supplementary and ordinary courses of the regular terms, the Session will also carry on its program a series of institutes and special, study curricula which will draw students interested in advanced and specialized work to Ann Arbor. All of this, according to Director Louis A. Hopkins, promises to make the 1940 Summer Session one of the most outstanding and recognized ses- sions of its kinds in the country. En- rollment is expected to be a great deal higher than the 6,000 mark, repre- senting most of the states and several foreign countries. Law School Registration June 13 The Session will open in all schools and colleges of the University except the Law School June 24 and will end for most, of them August 16. The Law School will open June 17 for a five-week term, holding a second term July 23 to August 28. Six-week courses of the Medical School, the School of Education and the Division of Hygiene and Public Health will close Aug. 2. Law School registration will be held June 13-15, that of the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies June 20 and that of all other schools and colleges of the University June 21 and 22. The Tenth Alumni University will be held in the Rackham Building dur- ing the week immediately following Commencement, June 17-22, inclu- sive. Its program will offer 11 courses featuring 40 lectures by members of the faculty. Courses will be offered in the liter- ary college, the College of Engineer- ing, the School of Education, the Col- lege of Pharmacy, the School of Busi- ness Administration, the music school, the Medical and Law Schools, the graduate school and the Division of Hygiene and Public Health. In addition work will be given at the Bi- ological Station, the field stations for geography, Camp Davis and Camp Roth of the School of Forestry and Conservation. Courses Divided Into Groups Courses offered are divided into three groups: those for undergradu- ates in other colleges or the Univer- sity; special or technical courses for teachers, engineers,lawyers and phy- sicians in practice; graduate courses designed for students qualified to enroll for higher degrees. One of the most outstanding of the programs and courses offered by the Summer Session, according to Direc- tor Hopkins, is the Graduate Pro- gram in American Culture. Available to selected graduate students through seven departments of the literary college, it will feature five series of lectures and round tables on related topics, each lasting one week. In addition, three weeks will be spent working on papers and reports. Du- mas Malone, editor of "The Diction- ary of American Biography", will give a series of 14 parallel lectures on outstanding personalities in Ameri- can cultural development, French Club Plans Summer Activities Le Cercle Francais, French club for Cmp Davis Offers Field Work To University Geology Students An integral unit in the modern educational method of giving prac- tical experience in actual field work is Camp Davis, the University sum- mer surveying and geology camp near Jackson, Wyoming. Camp Davis, ideally situated both for a surveying camp and for its recently acquired function as a base camp for geology field work, provides for the surveyor a large variety of landscape conditions, varying from the flat valley floor on which the camp is located to the towering peaks and steep slopes of the Grand Teton Range. The prospective surveyor is here given an opportunity to gain an intimate working knowledge of any possible type of terrain that he might meet in his future work. Two courses in instruction and field practice are offered this year. The region surrounding Camp Davis also offers a great variety of geologic features. But a short dis- study of the general physiography and structural geology of the route traveled will be made. In addition, the group will stop at various geo- logic features en route. The Drift- less Area of Wisconsin, the Bad Lands of North Dakota, and the Black Hills uplift are included on the itinerary. Two research projects and one regular field project are offered. Exclusive of these courses Camp Da- vis and certain equipment are avail- able for a limited number of inde- pendent investigators . interested in the problem of the region. Pioneering in te establishment and maintenance of a. camp for summer field work, the University organized Camp Davis in 1874 under the supervision of the late Prof J. B. Davis. The camp occupied several sites in Michigan until 1929 when the University purchased a tract of land in Jackson's Hole, Wyoming. The camp site is in the valley of the Hnoh'k R iver. 75miles south ofI 4 3 f Biological Station To Be Open For Summer Zoology Students Offering a large variety of field work studies, the University Biologi- cal Station on the shores of Douglas Lake in Cheboygan County, Michi- gan, will open again this June for students interested in advanced zoo- logical and botanical field work. The Biological Station is located on the University-owned Bogardus Tract which occupies an area of more than 3,900 acres between Doug- las and Burt Lakes, 13 miles south- west of Cheboygan. This region is one of transition between the region of coniferous forests to the north and the deciduous hardwood forests to the south, and thus presents types of vegetation characteristic of both regions. Swamps and bogs in various stages of development occupy much of the low land. Their flora is northern and includes numerous orchids, the insect-catching plant and sundew, and the dwarf mistletoe. A tract of virgin pine, known as the Hartwick Pines, located near Grayling, about seventy miles to the south, gives an opportunity to the student to examine such a forest in its original condition. Especially in- teresting conditions for ecological and taxonomic studies are found in Wilderness Park, bordering Cecil and Big Stone bays to the west of Mac- kinaw City. Here. in addition to rounding the station is well stocked with aquatic and terrestrial bird and animal life. Numerous bogs and swamps located throughout the area provide a natural habitat for a large number of species. The sixty-eight species of fish found in the lakes and streams are representative of the fauna- of the Great Lakes region. Certain species of fish spawn during July, affording students opportunity for the examination of breeding be- havior and embryology. The study of birds can be carried on to excellent advantage. During the period of the summer session about 175 species of birds have been identified. The camp itself occupies about 30 acres of level ground and adjoining hillsides bordering Douglas Lake. The buildings are arranged in three areas: a central campus with lab- oratories and other buildings of gen- eral use and two residential areas. The health service unit consists of a dispensary, hospital and residence for the physician in charge. Within the campus are nine laboratory buildings, an aquarium, insectary, li- brary shop, club house, and admin- istration building. Camp equipment includes launches, outboard motorboats, rowboats, var- ious types of nets and seines, trucks, and a large stock of optical equip-
