Dates for Degrees Tup twilight brigade of automobiles surrounding the University has been as impressive this year as the daytime forces. Under the supervision of Dr. Charles Doren Tharp, the University’s Division of Adult Education now has a larger enrollment than ever before. Over a thousand students crowded the halls during the fall semester and as many as fifteen hundred had been anticipated for the second term. Evening classes began Monday, February 18, and new ones originated at two-week intervals throughout the semester. Whenever twelve to fifteen interested people requested it and an adequate place for meeting could be found, a new‘course was organized. Classes were conducted in the Tuttle Hotel in Miami and the Wofford and many other hotels on Miami Beach. Even Opa Locka and Richmond Air Base were invaded by eager University evening students. It seemed that time and place were not the important considerations—they wanted to learn. Several students were resuming college work with the intention of receiving a degree after an interim of working—or playing. Others were newly introduced to the desirability of acquiring a college degree. Some were studying only as supplement to daily work, while others were finding in their night school courses useful avocations and enjoyable hobbies; e. g., students in courses on marionettes, languages, current events, and discussion problems. Attending the evening sessions were many cx-GI’s (and civilians) who had never been graduated from high school. For them a state examination was administered through H. M. McFarland, supervisor of Evening High, Technical High School in Miami. Among the more popular courses offered were English composition, accounting, business, law, psychology, air conditioning, and construction estimating, each enrolling fifty to seventy-five students. On March 26-7, the tax institute was held in cooperation with the State and Dade County Bar Associations, the Southeastern Association of Life Underwriters, and the Southeastern Association of Accountants. I laving been only a small local institute for three years, it was expanded recently through the medium of national advertising in magazines and the mail. I leaded by J. K. Lasser and Beardsley Rummel, twelve nationally known tax experts and treasury officials lectured at the institute. The adult division and the various institutes are all administered by executive committees which, in turn, are coordinated by Dr. Tharp. » • Ibln
