Elbert Thomas Ruthven Greets New Students Special Feature Organized In To Regular ! 1 j s To Talk Here :glator Will Give Three Speehes On Far East More Than 6000 Expected To Start Programs Today As Summer Session O pens Curricula Addition 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. Edward Johnson, 8 Others Also Honored; Record Number Wil Diplomas Attorney General Frank Murphy, who graduated from Michigan's Law School in 1914, returned to his alma mater's 95th commencement exer- cises June 17 to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at a cere- mony' which saw a ,record class of' 2,167 receive diplomas.

Nine others were awarded honor-' ary degrees following President Alex- ander G. Ruthven's 'commencement address in which he charged gradu- ates to use the knowledge acquired' during years of school for the preser- vation and advancement of a civili- zation fleeing from the onslaughts of Eastern barbarism to the Western world. Those honored were Robert Samuel Archer, chief metalurgist for Repub- lic Steel; Charles Ward Seabury, In- surance executive and Chicago Civic leader; Adolphus Mansfield Dudley, Marine Application Engineer for Westinghouse Electric; Bryson Dex- ter Horton, philanthropist; Ward J.
