The summer of 1919 saw an enrollment of eighty-eight students in the single term of six weeks. Last summer there were enrolled seven hun- dred and fifty-eight students the first term and four hun- dred and forty-six tl1e second term, in addition to two hundred and fourteen in the affiliated school at Lake juualuska, and thirty-six in the Junaluska School of Reli- gion, which is also afliliated with the university. The chief purposes of the Summer School, as stated by Dr. Holland Holton, director, who is also head of the de- partment of education and chairman of the faculty com- mittee in charge of the various summer school interests of the university, are first, to utilize the university plant tl1e full year as nearly as possible, second, to give mature and ambitious students opportunity for continuous work, and third, to co-operate in the teacher training programs of the Southern states. A noteworthy feature of the sum- mer school enrollment for the past three years is the fact that over twenty per cent has consisted of graduate stu- dents drawn from twenty-four states. 1 1 1 I-Io1.LANo PIOLTON A. ls., .1. o. Director of the Summer School Graduate School of Arcs and Sciences WILLIAM HENRY GLASSON Pl1.B., Pl1.D. Dean of the Graduate Srhool of flrls and Sciences In September, 1916, President Few appointed '1 com mittee on graduate instruction to promote and supervise graduate work in Trinity College. During the World War, and immediately thereafter, there were few grad- uate students. But before long there was a marked in- crease hoth in graduate students and in advanced courses offered. The requirements for degrees were thoroughly re- vised and higher standards were established. VVhen Trinity College be-came Duke University in 1924 the graduate department had already made encouraging progress. In the academic year 1926-27 the Graduate School of Arts and S-ciences was organized and Professor William H. Glasson was appointed dean. A council on graduate instruction was placed in charge of the new school. In recent years the growth of the graduate school has been rapid. The attendance has increased from forty- one in 1924-25 to one hundred and ninety in 1929-30. At commencement, 1929, there were conferred five Ph.D. de- grees, sixty-three A.M. degrees, and five Master of Edu- cation degrees. N Qxfvralnx , wwf g ff fg .- ra 1- '- if 6. 5 ' Sill?

The Work of the Comptrollllter In the past live years the activities of the comptroller have been greatly increased by the duties required of this ofl-icial in connection with the construction of the Greater Duke University. The position of comptroller has been competently filled by Dr. Frank C. Brown, who has played an important role in the building of the present plant, which will be occupied during the coming years by the Co-ordinate College for VVomen, and in the general devel opment of the school. At the beginning of the construction work upon the new campus Dr. Brown was placed in control, and he has been taxed to the utmost with the duties devolving from this work. Nevertheless, the outlay of the campus and the mag nilicent Gothic structures to be found thereon bear living., testimony to the ingenious handiwork of this man, who FRANK Curmc BRowN A.n., A.A1,, 1-11.11. Comjrlrollcr 1 1 1 The Cosordinate Collllege for Women The opening of the college year in September will see the women established on their own campus. Wider op- portunities of many kinds will. open before them. They will have their own college life, richer in opportunities to develop independence and initiative, and at the same time will retain the advantages, both social and intellectual, of being a part of the larger university. It is of the highest significance that no door is to be closed to women in the development of their intellectual life. All courses will be open to qualified women stu- dents, and, if certain ones are not given on the women's campus, the women may enter those on the larger campus. Graduates of the Woman's College, as graduates of all other colleges and schools within the university, will re- ceive their degrees from Duke University. But of equal significance is the hope which lies before us of developing on our own campus a college in which we may offer work of special interest to women and may experiment in our own peculiar fields. Alumnae, students, and all associated with the VVoman's College must needs recognize the challenge. may be characterized as a fair example of a typical South ern gentleman.

The first semester of this year it enrolled one hundred and five, -the largest enrollment of graduate students in any school of religion in the South. Yet no special effort has been made to secure students. It was important to secure a seasoned faculty and work out the organization before having a large student body to work with. The school was organized under the able leadership of Dean Edmund D. Soper. In the fall of 1928 he was called to the presidency of Ohio Wesleyan University. Since then Dr. Elbert Russell has se1'ved as dean. Next fall the school expects to move to the fine build- ing on the new campus, which will accommodate two hun- dred and fifty students and which has a chapel, library, and social rooms, class rooms, and ofii-ces arranged for its special needs. - In addition to the regular class work of the school, most of the students engage in some form of regular church work. There are twenty-seven in charge of churches. Others assist in connection with Sunday schools or young people's activities. About seventy are under appointment of the Duke Foundation for rural church work during the summer vacations. 1 1 1 The School oli Medicine The opening of the Duke University School of Med- icine in the fall of 1930 marks a new epoch of medical progress in the South, in that 'the school will be furnished with the most modern equipment and under the supervi- sion of a faculty composed of eighty or more of the most competent leaders known to the medical world in their respective fields. This faculty, with its enrollment con- stantly increasing, is under the able jurisdiction of Dean W. C. Davison, who has been a member of johns Hpokins Medical School for several years. A magnificent hospital will be operated in conjunction with the school, and should aHord an increasing supply of clinical material for the students. The hospital, school of medicine, and residence of both nurses and students will be housed in one build- ing, covering nearly six acres of floor space on ea-ch of its seven fioors. The advantages which this school offers have already been recognized by the leading medical au- thorities as second to none. 28 W ,,.., - ,iv ek .. fy ti?
