OUR SIZE
While it is nothing to cause
spasms of joy. or panic, the sub-
stantial increase in the size of the
summer session this summer is a
fact worth noting, if not worth a
self-applied pat on the back orj
two. With the decrease which the,
winter term registered last year,
and the numerous discrediting in-I
cidents which occurred during theI
year, it is gratifying and hopeful
to find that still one enterprise ofI

prestige.
Such appreciation is probably the
inevitable result of the far-sighted
policy of the officers of the sum-
mer session, and largely the re-
sult of the efforts of a single com-
petent individual-Dean Edward H.
Kraus. In charge of the summerj
session since its inception a score
of years ago, Dean Kraus has con-
stantly kept pace wth the finest'
that the country has to offer.
It is probably an' inevitable con-'
clusion, also, that the different
treatment accorded students in the1
