Advantages of

Chanee Seen for Regnlar
Session Student to
Develop Himself
“The University of Oregon Sum
mer Sessions offer unusual opportun
ity for stuilv to students who regu
larly attend during the year,” said
Dr. Aronld Bennett Hall, president
of the University of Oregon. ‘‘Here,
freed from all obligations outside of
activities, with only enough social
activity to provide recreation, in
tense work in a variety of fiddle to
be pursued.
“Contacts of the highest type,
both with regular professors from
the university, and with distin
guished visitors are afforded in
summer sessions. A more personal
relationship with authorities in the
! student's chosen educational field
is possible, due to smaller classes
and more frequent class meetings.
•‘For the student who takes his
1 studies most seriously, I can think
of nothing that would be better
training and nothing that would
make for more rapid development
than attendance here in Eugene or
in Portland this summer.
“Work will be offered in prac
tically all schools and departments,
to both undergraduate and gradu
ate students.
“The campus teaching staff will
be eomposi^i of 4!) of the University
of Oregon faculty members, and a
large number of distinguished vis
iting instructors. The students will
have an opportunity to hear many
interesting lecturers at the daily as
semblies, which is but. one of the
attractive features of the session.
“Those wishing to earn extra
credit will find the post-session
here on the campus a splendid time
