school trained students who later
went to colleges were revealed in a
letter sent out to parents by Prof.
J. D. Williams, director of the

The report, made available by
the Southern Association of Secondary Schools disclosed that the college records of these students were
of the highest standards.
In detail, the report follows:
1. No failures In freshman college history In the past two years.
More than 61 per cent made grades
of B or better.
2. More than 43 per cent made
B or better in first year college
science. The percentage that failed
one-ha- lf
is approximately
that of
other students taking science.
3. More than 44 per cent made B
or better in first year college English. Fewer than 6 per cent failed.
This is little more than one-ha- lf
that of other students taking English.
4. More than 69 per cent made B
or better in college French. None
have failed this subject In college
since 1933.
5. More than 47 per cent of those
taking college Algebra the past two
years have made grades of B or

SUMMER SCHOOL
WEEKLY

A committee to work on problems
involved in the change of length of
summer session terms was appointed by Dr. Frank L. McVey, president of tha University, at a faculty
meeting held last week.
The Council of Higher Education,
a body which prescribes, among
other things, the length of school
terms in the state, voted last semester, to increase the number of
weeks In the summer terms of the
University and state teachers colleges, to "not less than eight
weeks."
The committee, of which Dr. Jesse Adams, director of the summer
session, is chairman, met for the
first time Friday night. Problems
such as fees, actual length, courses,
class period length, will have to be
met before next summer when the
new plan goes Into operation
new ruling
The commission's
means that instead of two five week
terms, there will be one term. It
is thought at present that next
summer one eight weeks term will
be offered.
All teachers' colleges in the state
will be effected by the plan as the
Council of Higher Education has
authority over them in this matter
as well as over the University.
The committee is composed of 16
members, five of whom represent
the University. They are President McVey. Dean W. S. Taylor
of the Education college, and three
members of the board of trustees.
Eight

members
teachers' colleges, and three are
from the state department of education.
It Is not known just when definite results of the committee's action will be announced.

Students attending the summer
session, of the university will be afforded the opportunity to take ballroom dancing under the direction
of Leila Bush Hamilton. Miss Hamilton for the past year has been engaged in instructing undergraduate
students in ballroom dancing.
The lessons will be given In the
Women's gymnasium every Tuesday
and Thursday beginning today. The
time has been set at 4 to 6 p. m.
A small charge to cover expenses
has been set at one dollar for three
lessons. To register for this course,
either sign up at the office of the
Dean of Women or at the door of
the Women's gymnasium. Both
men and women students are invited to participate in the classes
with a chance to learn new ballroom steps.
It Is by popular request that Miss
Hamilton returns to the campus to
take up her work. She received her
instruction from Ned Weaver of
New York and has been actively
engaged in the teaching of dancing
in and around Lexington for a
