Courses
Michigan's first summer courses
were given just 45 years ago. Then
it was a brand-new experiment,
and very few courses were given
by a small group of professors;
the students, in those early years,
were traditionally those who had
to make up deficiencies. The
Summer Session is an integral
part of the University; its stu-
d nts are an . enthusiastic group
fifn all parts of the country; the
s& _e kind of work is done as in
the September to June session;
and, in' fact,'many courses, 'such.
as those offered by the various
Institutes, may be obtained in the
summer which, are not given at
all d"urng the, rest of the year. ,
In 1939 we believe that the.
University of Michigan has pre-
pared the best Summer Session
program of 'any time in.its his-
tory. To the students who have
come to Ann Arbor to take ad-
vantage of these unusual oppor-
tunities, I extend, on the Univer-
sitys' behalf, a sincere greeting,
and express the hope that your
summer here may be both enjoy-
able and profitable.

FourUniversity eanps Will Provide
Practical Experience During Summer:
By KARL KESSLER
Practical experience supplemented
by, text book study will be given sum-
mer school students at the four Uni-
versity camps scattered throughout
the country.
Oldest and furthest removed of
these is the summer surveying camp
at Camp Davis near Jackson, Wyo.
Organized in 1874 under the supervi-
sion of the late Prof. J. B. Davis,
Camp Davis has pioneered in the.
establishment of field camps for
university training courses.
Camp Davis'again this summer will
function also as a base camp for
geology expeditions to surrounding
regions.
The camp is ideally situated both
for a surveying station and for its
more recently acquired function as
base camp for geology field studies.
The broad valley floor of Jackson's
Hole, its numerous lakes and streams,
variety of geological features. Many
types of strata and structual forma-
tions are within a 'short distance of'
the camp. Both mountain glaciers
of the Grand Teton Range and the
great slide of the Gros Ventre River
can be studied in the area.
Instruction in geology will also be
offered on the faculty conducted
tour from Ann Arbor to Camp Davis.
A study of the general physiography
and structural geology of the route
travelled vill be made. In addition,
the group will stop at various in-
terestin' features en route. Among
those mcluded are the Driftless
Area of Wisconsin, the Bad Lands
of North Dakota and the Black Hills
uplift. Both elementary and ad-
vanced courses will be given.
Largest of the Univer ity's summer
camps is the Biological Station on the
shore; :f Douglas Lake in Cheboy-
gan County for students interested in
advanced zoological and botanical,
forests of the south. In addition, both
virgin and second growth timber are
found in the area, thus affording an
excellent opportunity to study a vari-
ety of vegetation conditions.
For zoologists, the region surround-
ing the station is well stocked with
both aquatic and land bird and ani-
mal life. Numerous bogs and swamps
scattered throughout the area pro-
vide a natural habitat for a large
variety of species.
Summer instruction for forestry
students is offered at Camp Filibert
Roth at Goldsen Lake in the Ottowa
National Forest in the western part
of the Upper Peninsula.
Practical field instruction is given
during a ten-week session in the map-
ping and meaurement of forest stands
and forest products. Extensive studies
of fire prevention and fire control
and of the construction and main-
tainance of forest improvements will
be undertaken there.
