THE SUMMER QUARTER

These Announcements are provisional and incomplete. A detailed circular will be issued about March 1.

The Calendar for 1913.-The First Term begins Monday, June 16, and closes Wednesday, July 23; the Second Term begins Thursday, July 24, and ends Friday, August 29, the Autumn Convocation being held on the afternoon of that day. A Quarter of Regular Work for Credit. In the personnel of the teaching staff, in scope and methods of instruction, and in credit-value the work of the Summer Quarter ranks with that of the other quarters of the academic year.

Precaution about Gaining Admission.-Undergraduate students should make sure that they are eligible for admission before they leave home for Chicago. Persons thus failing to make arrangements in advance may be rejected or directed to the University High School. Graduate students should inquire in advance as to their eligibility for registration in the Graduate Schools. Application in writing should be made to the University Examiners.

Limitation of Work, etc.-The student is limited to three minor courses for each term, or to three major courses for both terms. In special cases permission may be obtained from the deans to pursue an additional course, for which in the case of undergraduate students, a supplementary fee must be paid. Graduate and Law students are given larger privileges, and students in the College of Education may add one of the arts without additional fee.

Graduate Study.-College professors and school teachers, clergymen, and members of other professions, holding Bachelor's degrees from accepted colleges, may avail themselves of the facilities of the University to pursue advanced studies under the guidance of research professors in all the chief departments of investigation.

Biblical and Theological Study.-The Divinity School offers to professors of theology, to theological students, to ministers, to religious workers, and to others interested in biblical and theological study, introductory and advanced courses in all its departments. See p. 11.

Professional Courses in Law. Students beginning the study of law, those in the midst of their professional studies at Chicago or elsewhere, and practicing lawyers are offered work of a thorough and systematic character. See p. 14.

Courses in Medicine.-College seniors planning to study medicine, students in medical schools, and practitioners will find the summer course in medicine admirably adapted to their needs. The Summer Quarter is of especial value to students who need to review and to make up work. See p. 16.

Educational Principles and Methods.-The courses of all departments have a bearing upon the work of teaching, but the courses of the College of Education are peculiarly adapted to the professional needs of teachers, both in primary and secondary schools. The work in the various shops affords unusually complete instruction in the industrial arts and crafts. See. p. 11.

Public Lectures.-A series of public lectures, concerts, and other forms of entertainment is scheduled throughout the Summer Quarter, and affords opportunity to students to hear speakers of eminence and artists of distinction.

Chicago in Summer.-An agreeable summer temperature, spacious parks, notable libraries and museums, great industrial plants, typical foreign colonies, a number of Settlements, and other significant social institutions make Chicago a peculiarly appropriate center for study and investigation.
