Perkins satirizes those who think of

His play, "The Visiting Lady," a comedy in three acts, was produced last

Humorist Says That

Pittsburgh College

Has Wrong Policy

(By New Student Service)
Can. Stephen Lea- MONTREAL,
cock, better known as a humorist than
as professor of economics at McGill
University, was hardly joking when
he told University of Pittsburgh students that their Cathedral of Learn
building, as he
ing, or "high-up- "
calls it, is all wrong.
"I should prefer the dream of hie
and elm trees of the old college cam
pus to anything the Cathedral of
Learning might offer," he said. "Your
campus will be rubber trees on the
fiftieth floor and the shaded lanes will
be elevator pits.
"L have realized that the world has
changed since my youth. When I
first heard of the proposed design for
the Cathedral of Learning I could
hardly believe that so extraordinary
a building would be put into actual
effect. Now I begin to think that my
ideals and those of the older generation will go the same path as prejudices and hates.
"Buteven up there on the fiftieth
floor," Mr. Leacock admitted, "you
will be doing characteristic work. We
can, like the White Knight in Alice
in Wonderland, learn to think upside
down if we only know how."
DEAN BOYD ON VACATION

Paul P. Boyd, dean of he College
of Arts and Sciences, will leave Sat

Mich., where he has gone for his va

cupies a cottage on Crystal Lake
amid surroundings which are picturesque and ideal in every way. After
nine months of labor and worry, including interviews with irresponsible
students the dean should spend a very

Parking
Dean Taylor Asks That Rules
Be Observed
Parking signs have been placed
along the driveways on the campus in order that traffic may not
be congested. Since the summer
term started there has been a
pendency to disregard these signs,
and Dean Taylor, director of summer school has asked that more
attention be given to where the
cars are parked. Many of the students are from out of town and
are not familiar with the parking
rules on the campus and are asked
tfo be more careful in observing
these rules.

Students

The first term of Summer School
began Monday morning, June 11, with
registration in the Administration
building and classification in the
Men's gymnasium. From all indications this summer term promises to
be the greatest in the history of the
University.
Up to, and including
Thursday, June 14, the total enroll
ment was 1,078 which is slightly more
than the number registered during
that time last year.
The summer session of the Uni
versity has had a phenomenal growth
during the last six years. In 1922 the
number of students enrolled in the
summer school was about 150. The
number of students has increased
until last year there was an enroll
ment of about 1,200 for the first ses
sion and 600 for the second session,
making a total of 1,800 persons for
the first two sessions.
The University Has had two"

summer school is gradually increas

part of school men who want to spend

The University has ensratred a num.

chiefly in the field of education. Those
engaged are Mrs. P. K. Holmes, of
bayre College, as dean of women; G.
Ivan Barnes of the state department

Graduate work has been prnwinc
rapidly at the University for the last
few years. During the summer ses
sion Jast year there was a total enrollment of 239 for the first summer
term. This year there are 260 al
ready enrolled and there are four
more days in which to register. Dr.
Funkhouser, dean of the Graduate
School, said that he expected a total
enrollment of over 300 for the first
term. A larger program has been
offered in the Graduate School than
ever before in order to meet the demand
of city superintendents of
schools and hich school nrineinals
who are doing graduate work. The
College of Education is attempting
to meet this need by organizing such
courses as will best serve the purpose.
Besides the graduate school, courses are being given in all the colleges
of the University, including the Arts
and Sciences, Agriculture, Engineer
ing, Law, Commerce, and Education.
Each colleee offers almost a full tiro- gram for the summer and most of
the regular residence faculty "have
been retained for summer work. Some
275 courses in the various colleees are
available to students for study during
the summer.
The summer session at the Univer
sity has each year expanded its facilities to meet the needs of the ever- lncreasinir erouD of interests makine
