HARRY PRATT JUDSON.THE SUMMEIR QUARTE,RbyDAVID ALLEN ROBERTSON(S�cretary to the President.)When the Universitv of Chicago was organized cer­tain general regulations were estab1ished, among them .the following : "The year shall be divided into four'quarters bee inninz respectively on the first day of'b b. .October. January, April, and July, and contmumgtwelve weeks each. thus leaving a week between closeof one quarter and the beginning of the next. Eachquarter sh�ll be divided into two equal Terms of sixweeks each." The report goes on in this wise:"Those who have studied the general regulations­and the number includes many of the leading educat­ors of the country, beli eve that this plan wilI. Secure concentration on the part of the student,since it provides that he shall not have too many sub­jects for study at the same time; and that this in turn will secure broader knowledge and better discipline themind.2. Permit the admission of students to the' Uni-.versity at several. times during theyear rather than atone time only. .3. Provide for the loss of time of students who be­come sick, without either injury to their health or de­triment to the subject studied.4· Make it possible for the summer months to beemployed in study by those who are physically able tocarryon intellectual work throughout the year andwho are inclined' so to do.5. Provide against the present method of pasing allmen, the good and poor alike, through the same coursewithin the same time; in other words, make it possiblefor good men to take the College course in thre years,and for others to have more than four years 'in whichto do it.6. Raise the standard of work, especially for mendoing poor work, by requiring them to take a smallerTHE UNIVERSIT.Y OF CHICAGO WEEKLYnumber of hours, unless a certain high standard isreached, - '.7. Per�it� mJ�l to be absent fiohl the' Un!vet�iWduring tho�e portions of the year in 'which they can tothe best advantage occupy themselves in securing. means with which to .�Qntinue. their course.IS. Make it possible for the University to use, be­sides its own corps of teachers, the best men of otherinstitutions both in this country arid in Europe. _ � .16. Permit greater freedom on the part of bothstudents and instructors in the matter of vacations.18. Provide for the use of the University plant du­.. ringthe entire year, rather than through three-quar­ters of. it.19. Provide. an opportunity for professors in small­er institutions.teachers in academies and high schools,.ministers and others, who, under the existing system,cannot 'attend a college or university, to avail them­selves of the opportunity of University residence.These regulations have since been somewhat modi­'fied� The comments however have not lost theirpoint. The working of the plan has made it a fact, asit was a theory. that the students of the summer quar­ter, regularly matriculated and registered as they are,form a genuine part of the University body.The implications of this fact are interesting to thoseof us who in residence during this. summer. Truethough it is that many students come to the campus inthe summer quarter largely. in the spirit of visitors;. true thoug-h it is that only a small number of those inresidence during the other threequarters remain duringthe summer months, it is just as true. and should beunderstodo to be just as true, that each individual hasthe right of 'initiative in. the formation of student in- .' terests which students claim in the autumn and winterquarters.- 'Tennis tournaments . have' been' held duringthe :Stp1�mer quarters no gone: �/·golf, tournament W'as.once very.sucessful.. There is less occasion for theactivities of glee clubs and dramatic clubs because ofthe large number of open lectures and concerts provid­ed by the University itself. Of social affairs there- isjust as much need as during the winter. There is. just ,as much, opportunity likewise for hal ding verypleasant receptions and dances. . TheReynolds Club isopen throughout the ;::ear. All tpen in the Universityare not only eligible to membership but are urged tobecome members so that this part of the Universityplant, the beautifully restful clubhouse, may not re­�a:in idle. The Women's Union keeps its headquart­ers in Lexington Hall ready for visitors and members.Although heretofore the Women's Halls and Men'sHalls have not organized receptions as throughout thewinter, largely because when the heated term beginspeople stay away from such affairs, the Heads of someof the halls have been talking of a' possibility of hold­ing receptions out-of-doors in Hutchinson Court, HunCourt, Hitchcock Court or the Women's Quadrangle.A general University reception last summer In Hutch­inson Hall was a tremendous .success. When 'theUniversity Weekly was the only student publicationthis periodical was issued regularly throughout Julyand August.. Since the Daily Marooh ceased publica­tion for the summer the Weekly has entered the fieldand should be the medium of every resident interestedin student publications. Every possible means the ..... e­fore of participatinv in the life of the .Universityshould be used by those who happen' to be -studvinjrduring the s_umm�r quarter.University Botanical Expedition Departs fo-r Northern WildsA region virtually unknown will 'be penetrated bythe botanical field expedition of the University of Chi­cago in charge of Dr. Henry Chandler Cowles, whichleft last week for its two months work in the wilds ofAlaska and British Columbia.

The Delta U's chartered a. largeboat in which they cruised down the notrh branch. ofthe Chicago river and into Lake Michigan. Therewere sixty couples o-n board who were enteretined bya vaudeville--p_erformance. After the show the partyreturned to the deck, where the dancing took place.The Chi Psi annual lawn fete. was marred by coldweather, and the guests were compelled to remain in­doors and dance.

The ratioof child to adult labor in this state has been reducedSo per cent in three years. Children are now prohib­: ited from working in coal mines. As a result, sch�l. a.ttendance has increased very largely and the generalmoral tone of' the state has been elevated. This re­.. markable performance of the Department of Factory. . Inspection of Illinois has been watched with great in­terest by sociologists, reformers and government offi­cials all over the world.
