SUMMER SCHOOL Special Six Weeks Course IN PREPARATION FOR COIVIPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS FOR CONGRESSIONAL APPOINTNIENT TO U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY AND WEST POINT HE summer session, extending from August 1 to the opening day of the regular school year, is primarily for the benefit of students who wish to make special preparation for competitive ex- aminations for appointment to the Naval Academy or West Point. Inasmuch as so many Congressmen require that the competitive examinations be taken early in October, it is impossible for the stu- dent to do much in special preparation for the examinations after the opening of the regular school year. Moreover, the schedule the stu- dent must carry during the school year would in most instances not include all the subjects required in the competitive examinationsg and it is seldom profitable for him to try to carry additional subjects on the side. He will benefit much more by six or seven weeks of con- centrated effort on the subjects in which he will be examined. Aside from the primary purpose of this course-that of preparing students to win appointments to Annapolis or West Point--it has been found that the course is equally beneficial to students who need to do additional work in essential subjects in order to get a good starr in their work of the regular school year, or to make up deficiencies. The charge for the summer session is 817 5.00 for students registered by August 151 for the regular school yearg 5200.00 for others. This charge includes board, room, tuition and books. A deposit of 815.00 on account is required when reservation is made. Correspondence relative to the summer session should be ad- dressed to A. K. Hawkins, who has charge of the session. 25
