GRADUATE SCHOOL The early history of the Graduate School might very well be parallelcd with the life of its first dean, Dr. Borden Parker Brown, who served in that capacity from the founding of the School of All Sciences in 1874 until his death in 1910. The author of sev- eral books on social philosophy and on the relation of science to religion, he brought inestimable national prestige and interna- tional reputation to the School. As a tribute to one of the most respected personalities in the University,s history, a chair of philosophy in tl1e Graduate School has been dedicated to his memory. The Graduate School has become a Department for fitting young people for positions in highereducational institutions. Howard M. Lt-Sourd, who assumed his present position as Dean of the School in 1933, graduated from Ohio VVesleyan University in 1911 with an A.B. degree. Continuing his study at Columbia Iiniversity, he received an A.lVI. in 1913 and a Ph.D. in 1929 from that institution. Dean LeSourd served on the faculties of Ohio State University, VVL-stern Theological Seminary and Duke Uni- versity bcfore joining the Boston I'niversity faculty in 1929. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Gamma Delta. Dean llowurd M . l40S0lll'4l In 1915 the Summer Session was established at Boston Univer- f llireclor Allee I.. Percy sity to enable students who had not yet met their degree require- ments prior to the Jlllll' Commencement to receive degree credits in the six-week course of study. Not only does the Summer Session assist students in acquiring their first degree, but it also affords an opportunity for mature men and women to continue to further their education by devoting a portion of their leisure to this im- portant task. In addition to the regular faculty of the University who teach in the summer, many exchange professors from colleges and universities throughout the country come to teach at the lini- versity during this shortened session. Professor Atlee I.. Percy, who was a student in the 1916 Sununer Session, has been the Session's director since 1934-. He was gradu- ated from Taylor University with the degree of A.B. and was awarded the degrees of B.B.A. and lVI.B.A. from Boston Univer- sity.
