Graduate School grad school ' s enrollment reaches all-time high Paralleling the rapid growth of the University is the growth of the CU Graduate School. Enrollment this year reached an all-time high of 1 ,400 on the Boulder campus, ac- cording to Dean Dayton McKean. The Grad School offers courses leading to ten master ' s degrees within 58 departments or programs. A graduate stu- dent may also receive one of four academic doctor ' s degrees offered within 46 departments. Admission into Grad School requires a baccalaureate de- gree or completion of work equivalent to that required for a bachelor ' s degree. This year, another indication of the growth of CU ' s Graduate School was an increase in fellowship grants for graduate students— from $20,000 to $30,000 for 1959-1960. Dean McKean is an alumni of the University, having re- ceived his B.A. and M.A. here. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia, and has been Dean of the Graduate School since 1952. Dean Dayton McKean

Summer Session Since its first session in 1904, the University sum- mer session program has grown by proverbial leaps and bounds, until last summer enrollment totaled over 7.000 students, representing every state in the union. The summer session operates under the flexible enrollment plan, which allows students 15 options for registration in regular courses, intensive courses, and four-week workshops. The recreation program for the summer of 1959 included the Juilliard String Quartet, a presentation of Guys and Dolls, and the annual Ruth Currier Dance concert. The second annual Shakespeare Festival presented A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, Richard III, and Macbeth. The summer session is under the direction of Dean J. R. Little and his assistant, Joe Keen. It has become an important and integral part of the University ' s aca- demic program. hell with In doors .M
