Summer schools, as auxiliaries of the universities and the larger colleges, .
have proved to be so serviceable and popular that provision for them, on a
scale more and more ample, is made from year to year. At the great and "
wealthy Columbia University, of New York, for example, eighty-six pro- . -
° fessors and assistants announce courses of study in as many different sub-
jects for their present summer session. In the rush and hurry of American `
life and amid the insane pursuit of money, which engages so many of the
American people, economy of time is becoming all the while more and more
a vital matter, and the summer school is one of the indispensable devices for
saving time. Many a dull or lazy student who has failed in his final exami-
nations at College. may, by a few weeks of hard study in the Summer School,
make good his deficiencies, go on with his class and avoid an additional
year at College; many another student may, in the same way, ensure his '
. admission to College in September; and still others may by anticipation
greatly lighten the work of the over-loaded curriculum. Teachers especially,
and others who cannot attend the College, rind much compensation in the
Summer School.
The earnest and able professors who take part in the Summer Session of
it the State College will be seconded in every way by the authorities in their
> efforts to make the Summer School still more profitable and successful.
