SUMMER SESSION ERNEST H. HAHNE, Dean BUSINESS MANAGER HARRY L. WlELLS THE SUMMER SESSION of 1936 anticipates an enrollment of over three thousand stu- dents, with the heaviest registrations in the graduate and professional schools. For the under- graduate, however, the summer offers the opportunity to meet graduation requirements in three years and three summer sessions, in order to enter business or professional schools with the greatest economy to the family budget. Moreover, concentration and course requirements can be met during the summer, which makes it possible to engage in the extra-curricular activities offered during the regular session. Last summer many students took advantage of the opportunity to study on the beaches, combining study and pleasure in a most satisfactory manner. Only during the summer are Northwestern undergraduates able to take full advantage of the lake, which is the Universityfs greatest natural asset. ' ERNEST H. HAHNE. THE BUSINESS MANAGEMEN'T of Northwestern has attempted to keep before it at all times the real purpose of the institution, the training of a fine group of young men and women. Those who are part of our program feel keenly that their greatest contribution will be made if they keep the assets of this University in sound and liquid condition. No institution can be great without sound endowments. It is the pledge that your business officers make to the student body. We trust that whenever a question arises as to an action which has been taken that the students will always review it in the light of an attempt to keep this University on a sound financial basis. Our greatest joy is realized when we can add to the funds which go into our educational program. IJARRY L. WELLS.

GRADUATE SCHOOL FRANKLIN Buss SNYDER, Dean, ,Q LIBERAL ARTS ADDISON HZIBBARD, Dean THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS as the division of the University oldest in point of years and largest in number of students enrolled, should presumably have most to contribute to a Syllabus built around the theme of traditions and customs. It is safe, I believe, for me here to ignore such items as freshmen caps, hobo day, the circus, athletic victories, and the various student social functions,since I feel certain that a board of student editors will do full justice by such traditions as these. I should like to emphasize, however, at least two other traditions which, if sustained throughout the years to come, will prove more important than whether or not Hrst- year students wear green caps: that the intellectual life is really important and that this intellectual life may best be offered to a group of selected students. Those features must be preserved and fostered. Only their continued existence will keep Northwestern an institution of which alumni may be really proud. ADDISON HLIBBARD THE GRAD UA TE SCHOOL has perhaps the highest privilege of any branch of an institution of learning-that of encouraging gifted men and women to contribute their knowledge and dis- coveries to the worthy end of increasing human comfort and satisfaction. Through the training of effective teachers, the Graduate School is indirectly responsible for the intellectual background and inspiration of the countryis youth, through the efforts of the research workers whom it fosters, the Graduate School has a share in producing new knowledge which will add to the general happiness and intellectual growth of the nation. Such have been the chief aims of graduate study in the pastg such they must continue to be in the future, if the Graduate School is not to fail in the task entrusted to it. FRANKLYN B. SNYDER
