The University RecordVolume XIX OCTOBER 193 3 Number 4JAMES SPENCER DICKERSONBy FREDERIC WOODWARD[James Spencer Dicker son, Editor of the u University Record" since 1926, died suddenly of heart failure Tuesday, September 5, 1933, at his summer home at Oregon,Illinois. Before his death Mr. Dicker son had prepared nearly all of the material forthis number of the "Record" At the request of the President of the University thetask of completing and issuing this edition has been assumed by John F. Moulds.Funeral services, conducted by Rev. N orris L. Tibbetts of the Hyde Park BaptistChurch, were held in Bond Chapel Thursday, September J, 1933. An address delivered on that occasion by the Vice-President of the University appears below.}4N ARDENT friend of the University from the time of its founda-/\ tion, Mr. Dickerson served three terms as a member of thejL .X. Board of Trustees. He was first elected in 1909 and served untilI9i4;ini9i6he returned to the Board for a period of three years; and in192 1 for a period of nine years, at the close of which, in 1930, he retiredfrom active service and became an honorary trustee. From 19 13 until1926, without interruption, he was secretary of the Board of Trustees ofthe University and of the Board of Rush Medical College as well, andsince 1926 he has served as corresponding secretary of the University andas editor of the University Record.In all of these activities he was loyal, devoted, and efficient. His dutieswere performed with conspicuous promptness and accuracy. To serve theUniversity in whatever capacity was for him a labor of love to which hegave invariably the best that was in him. As editor of the UniversityRecord, for example, he was untiring in the effort to secure interestingcontributions and illustrations; he wrote many articles himself — articlesvividly descriptive and enriched with honest sentiment- — he made it a surprisingly readable magazine as well as an invaluable repository of historical material. So marked, indeed, was his success that when during the221222 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDlast two years we were searching for every possible economy in expenditures, we could not persuade ourselves to discontinue the Record even forthe period of the depression.As a trustee of the University, Mr. Dickerson was conspicuous for hisfaith in the University. He quickly caught and never lost the ideals andthe vision of President Harper. New plans and novel experiments strongly appealed to him, even in his later years, and in the meetings of theBoard he spoke with courage and confidence of the ability of the University to surmount every difficulty and of the paramount importance of forward-looking educational leadership. As a friend of Mr. Ryerson and as alover of the beautiful, he took a particular interest in the art and the architecture of the University, and his advice was always sought in this field byhis associates on the Board. He was the father of the thriving Renaissance Society, whose function it is to cultivate an intelligent appreciationof art in the community, and at the time of his death he was honorarypresident of the Society and still deeply interested in its affairs.But, great and varied as was Mr. Dickerson's service to the University,we chiefly mourn today the passing of a friend. His hearty greetings, hisyouthful enthusiasm, his keen sense of humor, his lively interest in andoutspoken comments on everything that happened in the University, hisunderlying kindness and sympathy, made him a general favorite. There isno doubt that he was one of the most beloved men on the Quadrangles.No matter how busy we were in the President's office we were glad whenhe came in. He never stayed long enough, and he always left us refreshedand smiling. One of his most charming characteristics was revealed in theinterest he took in new members of the faculty. He welcomed them withgreat cordiality, he always remembered them, he was always eager to helpthem adjust themselves in their new environment and to make them feelthoroughly at home. Perhaps this accounts in part for an incident whichhappened at the Quadrangle Club some years ago but which I still vividlyremember. Mr. Dickerson had been seriously ill and had not appeared atthe Club for many weeks. One day, at the busy luncheon hour, he unexpectedly entered the dining-room. Someone who saw him spontaneouslyclapped his hands, everyone looked about to see the occasion for it, andin a moment we were all on our feet and the big dining-room was ringingwith applause. I do not believe such a demonstration had ever before occurred in the Club; certainly it has not occurred since. No words of minecan express so clearly or so adequately our affection for Spencer Dickerson,and our sorrow in losing him. May the memory of his faith in the University, his devotion to duty, his generosity and loyalty in friendship, longendure in our minds and in our hearts.A NEW TRUSTEEMR. JAMES HENDERSON DOUGLAS, JR., former fiscalassistant secretary of the United States Treasury, was electeda member of the Board of Trustees of the University at themeeting of the Board held July 13, 1933. Mr. Douglas resigned as a partner of Field, Glore & Company, investment bankers, in February, 1932^to accept the treasury post. An appointee of President Hoover, he wasrequested by the Roosevelt administration to continue in office duringthe banking emergency. He resigned the treasury post in June.Mr. Douglas was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1899. His father, thelate James Henderson Douglas, Sr., was chairman of the executive committee of the Quaker Oats Company. The new Trustee attended the University's elementary and high schools, and received his A.B. degree fromPrinceton in 1920, having interrupted his college work in 191 8 to serve asa second lieutenant in the army. Following his graduation from Princeton, he studied for a year at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, and then entered the law school of Harvard University from whichhe received the LL.B. degree in 1924. In the same year he was admittedto the Illinois bar, and became associated with the firm of Winston,Strawn & Shaw. He left that firm in 1929 to engage in the investmentbanking business with Field, Glore & Company, of which firm he becamea partner in 1931.Mr. Douglas married Miss Grace Farwell McGann, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Robert G. McGann of Lake Forest, on November 26, 1927.They have two children. The Douglas home is at 1500 Lake Shore Drive.223EDWIN O. JORDANA GREAT OPPORTUNITY1By EDWIN 0. JORDANONE of our time-honored national phrases is that our land is aland of opportunity. Although we are often told today that theAmerican frontier has become a thing of the past and that theword "opportunity" has only a satiric implication, I venture to thinkthat, even in days like these of great uncertainty, the American collegegraduate has much to look forward to. By opportunity I do not meanthat you will find at once a fortunate opening for "making a living," suchas an appointment to the presidency of a company which is able to increase salaries in bad times as well as good, or an insider's chance to buyConsolidated Auriferous Clay at 3 when it is selling at 150, or even theopportunity to join the cheerful hosts of office holders who are extractingsunshine from cucumbers. I mean rather the occasion you will soon haveto put into practice some of the things you have learned or may havelearned in this University. Three of your possible acquisitions may bementioned briefly: the habit of independent thinking, an understandingof the adventure of life and, for some of you at least, a life-long interest inthe advancement of knowledge.It is a commonplace today that to think for one's self is the mark of theeducated man, yet we need continually to remind ourselves that independence in thought and action is difficult to attain. To be sure, there arefewer artificial barriers than there once were. Huxley tells of the shock hisyouthful mind received when, ranging through the great field of knowledge,he discovered there were some things he was not supposed to think about;as he expressed it, he came up against the sign "No Thoroughfare! Byorder of Moses." If such injunctions are not so common as they used tobe, we must still be on our guard against putting up our own signposts.It is easy to shirk the task of independent judgment, to fall a prey to thepropagandist, to be satisfied with cliches and easy generalizations, to enlist under a banner. It is all too simple to draw a line around our own forbidden territories into which we never allow the mind to stray and towardwhich in passing we give an indignant or contemptuous glance. Thesign "No Thoroughfare! By order of Mencken" may narrow our range as1 An address delivered at the one hundred seventy- third Convocation, August 25,1933-225226 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDmuch as any other and is more difficult to pass than a barrier set up without our approval. While few if any men are wholly free from preconceivedopinions and sentimental warpings, we can at least keep in view that themore fully we divest ourselves of environmental and inborn prejudices,the more truly independent we become, using our minds for what they areworth. If you have not up to now learned the art of independent thinking,of taking no opinions second-hand, of distinguishing the voice of the paidpropagandist, then you have somehow failed in getting what the University had to give you, or we have somewhere failed in our duty to you.Independence of thought is, in the flowery phrase of the time schedule, aprerequisite.This does not, of course, mean that you will yourself rest satisfied withthe finality of your own opinion. Our time is one of uncertainty: "Noman so sure as Omar once was sure." But if you hold yourself open toconviction and welcome experimentation as essential to human progress,then you need not hesitate to form your own judgment about the neweducation, the new poetry, the new architecture, or the new economics.You will, of course, meet with opposition. You may be called hardnames, radicals, tories, bolsheviki, financial experts, or worse, but you cannever afford to give up the supreme privilege of seeing things in your ownway with your own eyes. The American student should, in Emerson'sfamilar words, "not quit his belief that a popgun is a popgun, though theancient and honorable of the earth affirm it to be the crack of doom."In H. G. Wells' fine allegory The Country of the Blind, you rememberthat a young man who falls by accident into a remote valley of the Andeslong cut off from the world by an earthquake meets there a race of blindpeople quite satisfied with their lot, quite unknowing of the world outside.Although he finds the life very tranquil and pleasant and falls in love witha charming maiden, he cannot quite make up his mind at the last to submit to the operation on his eyes which the village elders deem necessaryfor his entrance into the full life of the community. Just before the hourappointed for the removal of his power of sight he resolves to leave foreverthe peaceful little valley, and in the morning sunshine he climbs alone upthe lofty mountain-side. "The glow of the sunset passed, and the nightcame, and still he lay peacefully contented under the cold stars."Those who determine to retain at all hazards their own full power ofvision have before them the great adventure of human life. I believe it isone of the functions of the University to set before its students the highpoints of this adventure. Perhaps some of you have acquired a conceptionof the modest lot of man. Here we are a few hundred millions of humanA GREAT OPPORTUNITY 227beings who, as Mr. Van Loon has recently reminded us, might all bepacked into a box measuring half a mile in each direction. We are living ona not very large planet that spins like a fretful midge in an enormousswarm of other midges. We do not know whether anywhere else in theboundless universe there exist beings resembling ourselves. At any rate,we here are all in the same boat, we are all involved in substantially thesame coil of circumstance. To an onlooker from afar it would seem supremely ludicrous that dwellers on the earth should prate about inferiorand superior races, and grotesquely tragic that so much time and laborshould be spent getting ready bombs and poisonous gases and machineguns to kill other human beings also embarked on the great adventure. Asense of cosmic proportion is worth cultivating. Even in moments of tensenational excitement, the college graduate should be able to murmur tohimself, "Little man, why so hot!"For the individual the adventure of life is glorious and absorbing. Thetruly educated man should be in large measure equipped to take advantage of his opportunity. He should have some understanding of naturallaws, of the world in which he lives, of the body his mind inhabits; if healso has a naturalist's love for the things about him and takes joy in thesound of the wind on the heath, he is so much the more fortunate. Someminds will be especially attracted by natural science. The magic carpet oftransportation, the electric speed of sound transmission, the approachingextermination of many infectious diseases have behind them things stillmore marvelous. Everyone should know something of this background.Some appreciation of scientific method and some knowledge of scientificprinciples are a necessary part of one's mental outfit.There are plainly limitations to human power. Modern man is able todistinguish between the utilization of certain natural forces and the control of cosmic phenomena such as the seasons, volcanic eruptions, sunspotcycles, and economic depressions. Perhaps some day it may be possible todivert the path of the hurricane and to make rain fall as it is needed on thecrops of the just, but not yet.The limit, however, has not been reached in the control of certainforms of energy and the invention of new ways of lightening human toil.New mechanical ways of getting things done will be worked out. There ismuch talk today about the obsession or even the ruin of civilization bymachines. Such-ruin can never overtake us if we preserve and increase ourknowledge of the forces behind the machines. Man's struggle from thecave-dweller up has been to acquire a better understanding of his naturalsurroundings. Have we any more reason to be afraid of the forces of na-228 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDture than were our forefathers? In the end man will force machines to dohis bidding. No fear that they will get away with us for very long. Therunaway horse is an incident, not a universal catastrophe.In another direction the world of books is before you. The chance tofind out what others think and how they feel is a relatively modern acquisition. Reading enables us to multiply our own lives by the personalitiesof others, to know something of the past as well as the present, to developour powers of imagination. If we read widely and yet, as we should, onlywhat interests us, there are few comparable pleasures. Life is too short forthe adventurous reader.There is also the opportunity to associate on friendly and sympatheticterms with our fellow earth-dwellers. Perhaps one can be of some use tothem. Although the term "service" may have become vulgarized andcheapened in these recent years, the idea underlying it is a sound one.In the college graduate's code there are few meaner things than to raiseone's self in the world by trampling down others; no man, no race of men,is sufficient unto himself. Artificial barriers between races and nations canin the long run only act as a hindrance to the development of the freehuman spirit. The old Latin playwright who wrote, "Nothing human isalien to me," had a better conception of human origin and human destinythan some of our modern mentors. The biologist contemplates with someamusement attempts to segregate groups of men in the modern world as ifthey were snails in isolated mountain valleys.Whatever comes, life is the great adventure. If we do not learn to takewith a frolic welcome the thunder and the sunshine, then something iswrong. The educated man should be able to say, not too seriously, withthe great wanderer, Ulysses,It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;It may be we shall touch the Happy IslesAnd see the great Achilles whom we knew.As a part of this adventure there is the chance that will come tosome of you to advance human knowledge. This is, in many ways, oneof the most engrossing pursuits with which the human mind canbusy itself. No danger is too great, no hardship too poignant forthe investigator. Whether under water in a bathysphere or exploringthe confines of the atmosphere in a balloon or reading himself blindin a library or inoculating himself with suspected disease germs in alaboratory, the investigator, the scholar, the explorer, is getting a satisfaction hardly comprehensible to one who has not experienced it. This feel-A GREAT OPPORTUNITY 229ing has never been better expressed than in the famous words of Pasteurat the dedication of the Institute in Paris which bears his name.This that I ask of you is what you again in your turn will demand of the discipleswho gather around you; and for the investigator it is the hardest ordeal he can be askedto face — to believe that he has discovered a great scientific truth, to be possessed with afeverish desire to make it known, and yet to impose silence on himself for days, forweeks, sometimes for years, whilst striving to destroy those very conclusions, and onlypermitting himself to proclaim his discovery when all the adverse hypotheses have beenexhausted. Yes, that is a difficult task.But when, after many trials, you have at length succeeded in dissipating everydoubt, the human soul experiences one of the greatest joys of which it is capable There is no need to dwell on the satisfaction and the advisability of increasing our store of natural knowledge. The past centuries of progresstestify to the amelioration and enrichment of life brought about by theslowly acquired understanding of the forces of nature. What we need alsoto realize today is the fact that fruitful scientific and scholarly researchmay be carried out under a variety of conditions and may be prosecutedby the amateur as well as the professional investigator. Elaborate equipment is not essential to the conduct of all forms of research. Dependenceon special tools or reagents may sometimes be a vice, not a virtue. I recallthe case of a youth who went years ago to one of the seaside laboratorieson the New England coast. When he returned at the end of the summerto his University instructor and was asked about his work he replied: "O,I couldn't do a thing because I couldn't get any osmic acid!" The wholewealth of marine life spread out before him had no suggestions for hismind !If there is a spark of the consuming fire of the true investigator in aman, he never stops; he will always find something to do and a way to doit. It is a mistake to assume that research is doomed because we find ourpresent investigative work in American universities sorely crippled by theshrinking of endowments and the curtailment of facilities. A certain kindof work may be lessened but research will go on as long as there are inquiring human minds. Perhaps a period of material hardship may be useful for a time for natural science. Mechanistic aids may be supplanted byhard thinking. New kinds of problems may be brought to light and human ingenuity take the place of machines and osmic acid. The remarkable discovery of the Mendelian laws of inheritance was based on the hybridization of a common garden vegetable and demanded no elaborateapparatus. The scientific achievements of the great French neurologist,Joseph Babinski, who died only a few months ago, were not the outcome230 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDof experimental approach but were based entirely upon the study of clinrical material. Such facts may be of some encouragement to those of youwho are receiving higher degrees but no higher positions. Additions to thestore of human knowledge may be made in very simple surroundings;with little or no equipment except a prepared mind. Obstacles sometimescall forth hidden resources and develop unexpected leads.Although I have perforce spoken mainly of natural science which is myown field, I cannot believe that things are very different in the linguisticand historical groups. Collections of books, vast beyond the wildestdreams of earlier scholars, are at the command of all. Museums of art, ofindustry, of primitive, Oriental, and Western life are readily accessible.Pencil and paper are cheap. In every field the equipment of the scholarand the creative spirit is simple but essential; the inner fire, the preparedmind, the shuttle of imagination, these are all you need. In the abundantleisure which we are told is in store for all of us in the future and in whichundoubtedly some of you will luxuriate in the months just ahead, therewill be ample opportunity to put to a test your real scholarly and creativepower. There may be some gratification in discovering that you have amind and can use it to some purpose, not merely play with it as a kittendoes with its tail. The combination of leisure and the active human mindhas never failed in history to lead to some new development. It may bewe are on the verge of another great flowering of the human race in art,literature, or science, perhaps all three. It is our hope that the surroundings of this University, the human contacts you nave made here, the toolsthat have been placed in your hands, the creative inspiration you mayhave obtained have supplied you with your opportunity to make the mostof the adventure of life.FREDERICK STARRDR. FREDERICK STARR, for many years, indeed from thevery beginning of the University, a popular member of theUniversity faculties, died from bronchial pneumonia August 14,1933, in Tokio. He was appointed assistant professor of anthropology in1892 in the Department of Sociology of which anthropology, his particularfield, was a division. He subsequently became associate professor in 1895.He was retired as associate professor emeritus of anthropology in 1923.He served for several years as curator of Walker Museum. His classeswere always eagerly sought by students. Here he presided with an enthusiasm which delighted his hearers and registrations for his courses werealmost always full. There was an informality and camaraderie in his classrooms which became a student tradition. Students recalled his delightful eccentricities, his casual remarks. He was ever a familiar figure in theQuadrangles, as he invariably walked across them his head covered by asmall black hat and an open book always in his hands. So closely did hedraw his students to him, so patient was he with their failures, so generouswith his approval of their accomplishments, that "Freddy Starr's" classroom was a place to recall with appreciation. The loyalty of his formerstudents, among them the now Secretary of the Interior, Harold L. Ickes,was evidenced by their gift of a fund for the purchase of the property inSeattle which he regarded as home, at least the spot to which he returnedfrom his oft-repeated field trips. In Seattle lives a surviving sister, MissLucy Starr.Although a popular teacher Dr. Starr's deepest interest was everaroused by his visits to foreign lands. These took him again and againacross the Pacific, particularly to Japan, Korea, and the PhilippineIslands. His zeal for ethnological investigation led him also to Mexico,Africa, and other countries. He believed in identifying himself with thepeople of the lands he explored and in Japan he traveled dressed in robesof a native priest. This spirit of friendliness gave him an insight into thelife and customs of various races, which served to make his lectures interesting, lectures delivered in many places besides University halls.Occasionally these talks, almost always informal and from the point ofview of the people he was describing, led to criticism of his facts* and of hissympathies. Nevertheless, his lectures long attracted audiences bothduring his teaching and subsequent years. He made use of the material231232 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDhe collected not only in classroom and lecture halls but in numerous bookswhich he wrote. These included accounts of Indian Mexico, Japaneseart, and of conditions in the Congo Valley where he visited twenty-eightdifferent tribes. In all he was the author of fifteen volumes. For theservice he performed in bringing to the St. Louis Exposition a group ofaboriginal Japanese, "hairy" Ainu, he received a grand prize.Dr. Starr was born in Auburn, New York, September 2, 1858. He wasgraduated in 1882 from Lafayette College, where he received his bachelor'sdegree and subsequently his Ph.D. He taught in various institutions inthe East before he joined the first group of teachers in the University ofChicago. For a time he was in charge of the department of ethnology inthe American Museum of Natural History. His work was frequentlyrecognized by foreign museums. He was a chevalier of the Order of theCrown of Italy. He was decorated with the Order of Sacred Treasure ofJapan and with medals from Holland, Belgium, France, and Liberia.Dispatches did not announce the place of his burial. He was on his fifteenth trip to the Orient when the end came in St. Luke's Hospital, Tokio.DR. JOHN M. DODSONONE by one the members of the "old guard" are mustered out ofservice. Faces familiar in classroom and on the Quadrangles areseen no more. Some are invalided with the order of honor,"emeritus," attached to their names. One who served faithfully for manyyears in the ranks of the University army, Dr. John Milton Dodson, nolonger is present at dress parade in Convocation processions or will beregistered in the University Directory. He died with the honorable scars ofyears of active service on the firing line of administrative duty on August15, 1933-Dr. Dodson entered the ranks of University administrators throughRush Medical College, where for three years he was lecturer and demonstrator of anatomy. Subsequently he was professor of physiology anddemonstrator of anatomy (1892). He was also professor of medicine (pediatrics) and Dean of students in the College for several years. In 1898Rush Medical College was affiliated with the University. He was professorial lecturer on medicine and Dean of medical students in the University from 1901 until 1924. It was in the last named position that heperformed his best remembered work, work done with justice to the insti-DR. JOHN M. DODSON 233tution he served and with justice tempered with tactfulness and kindlinessto the students who passed through his office. This period was one requiring familiarity with the older College and its traditions as well as goodjudgment and patience, for the new medical school of the University wasthen taking shape and the relationship between College and Universitywas not fully determined. Never an administrative martinet or a self-proclaimed infallible authority in medical science, he was recognized as amost useful member of College and University faculties, a teacher of recognized ability, a careful administrator. He made friends in every position he occupied.Dr. Dodson did his duty in other spheres of service besides those ofRush Medical College and the University. He was executive secretary ofthe Bureau of Health and Public Instruction of the American MedicalAssociation. He ranked as major of the Medical Corps of the UnitedStates Army. He was medical aide to the governor of Illinois during theperiod of the World War. He was a trustee of the Illinois State MedicalSociety, as well as its director and president of its board. For years beforehe was connected with Rush Medical College he was a successful practitioner of medicine in Wisconsin and in Chicago. Added to these activitiesconnected with his career in medicine he skilfully edited Hygeia, the healthmagazine issued under the auspices of the American Medical Association,a journal helpful to non-professional readers and fearless in the exposure ofquacks and charlatans.Dr. Dodson was born in Berlin, Wisconsin, February 17, 1859, andwas, therefore, in his seventy-fifth year at the time of his death. He wasgraduated from the University of Wisconsin in the class of 1880, and laterreceived the degrees of A.M. and Sc.D. from the same institution. InRush Medical College he won his degree of doctor of medicine. He studiedalso in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and in Berlin. He wasthrice married, his third wife, Mary Hyde Webb, surviving him; also adaughter, Mrs. Lester J. Michael. Funeral services were held in the University Chapel. Burial was in the cemetery of the town of his birthplace,Berlin, Wisconsin.One who knew him well writes: "I do not think any man ever kept soclosely in touch with old friends, many of them for over fifty years. Healways went out of his way to see old friends. He never refused to giveadvice to those who asked. His whole life was one of kindly service toothers. He was devoted to his work and really sacrificed himself for it.Even in ill health he never lost his lovable nature and to the end was awonderful companion."THE COMPTROLLER'S ANNUALREPORTGLEANINGS from the report of the comptroller to the Board of- Trustees present information with reference to the financialactivities of the University for the year 1932-33. Commentson the results of the operations for the year are summed up in these words :It is no news that the year 1932-33 was one of financial difficulty. In spite of adverse economic conditions and reduced income, the activities of the University havebeen conducted on a reasonably fair basis. This has been made possible by the reorganization under the new educational plan resulting in a greatly reduced number of courses,the practical elimination of the expense of fourth quarter instruction, and the efforts ofall administrative officers in the reduction of expenses. The necessity for drafts on reserves to balance budget operations was much reduced as compared with revised estimates. Therefore the University's position with reference to the amount of reservesis much better than recently contemplated.With respect to the budget operations, it may be said that the total expenditures amounted to $7,207,107.42, a decrease of over $500,000 ascompared with that of the year 1931-32. The expenditures were providedin full from recurring income and gifts in the amount of $6,787,445.43 anda balance of $419,661.99 from reserves and other expendable funds heldby the University. While the latter amount is a rather imposing sum, itwas less than 6 per cent of the total required to balance the budget. Duringthe rather dark financial days of the winter it appeared that the sum sorequired would be at least a quarter of a million larger. Even then theBoard of Trustees did not falter, and authorized proceeding on that basis,if necessary. Happily, the income was somewhat better than that estimated, and it was possible to reduce expenses, producing more favorableresults than contemplated.The use of reserves and other expendable funds naturally has the effectof reducing the amount available for the future conduct of the institution.Even so, the report points out that the elements of strength in the University's current position may well be the subject of gratification. Fewother endowed institutions are so well fortified.234THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESBy JOHN F.

This blemish, if so it maybe described, is to be removed in the nearfuture by the installation of permanentlouvers in these openings.Among the organizations which heldmeetings at the University during thesummer were the Institute for Administrative Officers of Public and PrivateSchools, th,e Haskell Institute on WorldReligions, the American Association toPromote the Teaching of Speech to theDeaf.ATTENDANCE IN THE SUMMER QUARTER(Comparative enrolments for the Summer Quarters 1932 and 1933.Based on paid registrations at the end of the ninth week ofthe quarter, August 18, 1933)Total Different StudentsDivisions and Schools 1932 1933Gain LossMen Women Total Men Women TotalI.
