DEAN F. PENDLETON GAINES COLEGE OF Co MANG EOUCAllON No area of higher education is growing more rap- idly than adult and summer education. People of all ages are attending school in increasing numbers and are going twelve, not the traditional nine months a year. Under the direction of Dean Pendle- ton Gaines, the University ' s Division of Continuing Education and the Summer Session operates three principal programs: late afternoon and evening classes in Tucson; off-campus (extension) classes; and the summer sessions. Evening courses are offered by all colleges for both undergraduate and graduate credit. Summer sessions have become an integral part of the University program. During the summer of 1963, more than 10,000 students at- tended the on-campus summer classes of the Uni- versity. These two terms of five-weeks each rep- resent every academic field on all levels. In addition to extensive programs in Tucson, the Uni- versity ' s summer classes extend literally around the globe. A six-weeks ' residence program is operated in Guadalajara, Mexico, involving 600 students from more than a hundred American universities, and the University sponsors credit-granting tours throughout Europe and South America. Each summer students from the U of A join students from Berkeley and Stanford in Guadalajara summer school. Night extension ' classes to help adults complete their college educa- tion are conducted at the University in the typical lecture fashion. 173
