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

division reaches students beyond the cannpus classrooms. Extension Division Dean D. Mack Easton and the staff members of the University Extension Division plan, project, and coor- dinate their services with those of other University de- partments to meet the changing needs of individuals beyond campus classrooms. In classes held in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and other communities throughout the state, University faculty members and other qualified instructors teach graduates and undergraduates the courses they select for academic credit. They also teach these and a variety of other courses to individuals and groups who meet regularly for information, enjoyment, or personal ad- vancement. Through correspondence courses, they reach the girl in the hospital bed, the boy in military service, the man in prison, and the mother at home, all who want to continue their college or high school studies. In this way, too, they may provide a teacher for a whole high school class in a town where there is no teacher for a particular course.
