UATE Awiuzo H. LLOYD, l'h.D., Dean N the Spring of 1892 the Graduate School was organized, although there had been graduate students at the University since 1856 and graduate degrees, at lirst the degrees of lVlaster of Arts and Master of Science, had been conferred. The de- gree of Doctor ot' l'hilosophy was offered for the lirst time in 1376. lntroduction of the elective and credit systems in 1877-78 was followed by increased interest in graduate study and the growing demand for better trained teachers was also an important factor. The lirst organization of the School, however, was imperfect, the School being little more than a bureau within the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, and not until 1912 was the present organization completed. The School is now a separate department, re- lated on terms of equality to all the Colleges and Schools of the University and governed by its own Dean and Executive Board. The work of the School in the last four years has certainly justilied the step taken in 1912. Steadily growing in number of students and in interest and achievement, the School 1112ly now claim to have an important place in the life of the University, inviting as it does, advanced study and original investigation in every department of human interest. Besides its work of training teachers for secondary and colleges and universi- ties, of htting others also for positions in other professions and occupations, and of im- buing all its students especially with a spirit of advanced study and independent think- ing, it seeks to stimulate and foster scholarly publications. Important works of various kinds have recently been published by the University under the direction of the Schoo1's Executive Board. Thirty-two

as ov l'll'llLli om :UN l'lDVVARlD H. 1iRAUS, l'h.D., .Dean HIC lirst instruction during the summer months was given in 189-l under the cli- rection of a committee of the faculty of the College of 'l.iterature, Science, and the Arts, with the authorization of that faculty and of the Board of Regents. ln 1900 the Board of Regents assumed full control of the work and the name was changed from Summer School to the Summer Session of the University of Michi- gan. At lirst all courses were given for six weeks, but in 1908 the session was length- ened to eight weeks in all divisions, with exception of the Medical School. ln 1910 the instruction in the Law School was extended to ten weeks, consisting of two terms of tive weeks each. The courses of the Summer Session have increased continuously in popularity. During the first Session 46 courses were olliered hy a faculty of 24. For the Session of 1917 the faculty consisted of over 200 memhers and 375 courses were of- fered. Our Summer Session is unique among the Summer Sessions of the country in that most of the instructors are members of our regular faculties and the student body is also to a larger degree than anywhere else composed of those who are regular mem- hers of the University. As the work done during the summer months is equivalent in method, character, and credit value to that of the academic year, the nnmher of stu- dents taking advantage of the summer instruction to materially shorten their period at the University is annually increasing. liach year many students complete the require-- ments for degrees at the close of the Summer Session.
