LJ August 13, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 47 N.U. Summer School, Biggest in History, to Close August 20 Summer session classes at North- western university, after what has been the largest session ever, are reaching their close with final exam- inations in Liberal Arts and Com- merce and Journalism schools taking place the few days before August 20, with Music and Speech classes already closed, and with the approaching close of the Law, Medical and Dental schools. Medical school and Dental school will continue classes until early in September. Final examinations in Law school are scheduled for August 26 and the few days preceding. Music and Speech schools, held their final session August 5. Hundred More Than Last Year The attendance during the session according to a recent compilation of figures was 2,105 in all schools. Sub- tracting the 102 who attended the Medical school and the 18 who were enrolled in the Dental school, the net registration was 1985. This number compares favorably with the 1885 for the same schools in the 1926 summer session. Of this number Clyde L. Grose, di- rector of the summer session, esti- mates that one-third were regular stu- dents of the university; another third were teachers, and the other third were students from other universities. Commenting on the summer's work Prof. Grose said: "Especially nota- ble is the increase in the Graduate school. Graduate work is increasing during the summer everywhere. It is significant of the pressure put upon teachers by state and local boards to advance themselves to higher degrees. I am particularly pleased with this large increase owing to the fact that last summer for the first time there was no increase. The figures for grad- uate students from 1921 to 1927 are teresting; 115, 142, 182, 194, 250, 249, 315. Many Eminent Teachers "The summer session faculty has contained an unusual number of emi- nent teachers and I am certain that we never had such a good summer session, just as the figures show that A PLUMBER WHO IS FULL OF "PEP" ~- IS APT TO HAVE A | WERE full of pep and we've got a good rep but at that we watch out step.

WINNETKA,ILL. -- we have never had such a large sum- mer session." Comparative figures of the 1926 and 1927 registrations follow listed accord- ing to schools: Liberal Arts--700 to 1926 which included undergraduate teachers who for the most part would have registered in the school of edu- cation in 1927; it also included 42 nurses taking only one course, not given this summer; and 549 in 1927; Graduate school--249 in 1926, and 315 in 1927; School of Law--88 in 1926 and 81 in 1927; School of Music--333 in 1926 and 408 in 1927; School of Commerce, Evanston--107 in 1926 and 124 in 1927; School of Commerce, Chi- cago--291 in 1926 and 272 in 1927; School of Speech--142 in 1926 and 183 in 1927; School of education--1926 in- cluded in Liberal Arts, and 68 in 1927. Allowing for duplications, this regis- tration totalled 1885 in 1926 and 1985 in 1927. Mrs. B. H.
