Because of the fact that, for the first time in its history, this school was operated as an integral part of the University, this session was watched with considerable interest. The usual high standards were maintained in the selection of the faculty, the lecturers, and the artists who appeared during Music Week. Three al fresco plays were given by the Frank McKntee Pastoral Players and weekly excursions were conducted to nearby points. Several new courses of study were added to those previously offered and an arrangement was made whereby students of the Summer School might receive credit toward collegiate degrees. The result was a total enrollment of more than twenty-four hundred, with more than one hundred students working for University credit. The Summer School celebration of the Fourth of July, pictured above, is unique, being patriotic in the extreme, as to both state and country, and yet with the patriot- ism of peace rather than of war. The address of the occasion this year was made by U. S. Commissioner of Education P. P. Claxton. former Superintendent of the school. 'The general opinion seemed to be that the 1912 session of the Summer School of the South was the most successful in its history. The officers of the school are not content, however, and hope that “history may repeat: itself,” so that each succeeding session mav in turn be the best vet held.
