Field Biology helps Olivet ' s students get down to the earth of things. Three-hundred and thirty-eight students attended Olivet ' s summer school last summer and forty-eight attended the post session. Relaxation is not forgotten in summer school. A Social Committee comprised of students and faculty members planned week-end events which included such ac- tivities as miniature golf, a watermelon feed, and a faculty-student talent program. Closer fellowship was possible because of the smaller number of students. During the summer, campus workmen were busy with general repairing and redecorating of buildings and classrooms. The dining hall was remodeled and supplied with new equipment. Improvements on Birchard Field House were made, including better shower facilities for women; a new parking area was opened; and construc- tion was started on the new residence hall for men.
