MON{JMENT
What We Offer Besides Classes The University of Richmond Summer School offers exceptional advantages to the student who desires something more than mere class work during the summer months. The student may combine happily the features of a summer school course and a delightful vacation and there are a variety of pastimes to relieve the drudgery of class work ordinarily so trying during the hot weather period. The University is justly proud of this.
In its suburban situation, almost rustic in its seclusion, the Summer School would appear to the casual observer more a summer resort than an educational institution. The temperature of the campus always is several degrees lower than that of the neighboring city and the buildings, being constructed almost wholly of brick, are delightfully cool and comfortable except in extremely hot weather. The beautiful lake on the campus, the adµiiration of visitors, offers unusual facilities for boating and swimming. Picturesque James River nearby ever calls to the student who loves the great outdoors. There are fishing, camping, and boating parties for those who like to read the poetry of nature's great spaces. Professors and students mingle freely on the campus after the fashion of a summer colony. Everybody comes to know everybody else and a delightful comradeship and freemasonry is developed that adds a social distinction to the school impossible to institutions where there is a large attendance. The summer school soon becomes as one large family. The proximity of the school to the city of Richmond affords an education in itself. The glow of the lights of the ancient capital of the Confederacy ever tint the summer skies to the eastward by night and there a thousand things of interest await the student on Saturdays and in the afternoon. Every street is
4
UNIVERSITYOF RICHMONDBULLETIN
freighted with the romance of the making of a Nation. There are the giant industrial plants, the State Library, the Capitol, the penitentiary, the Medical College, the literary shrines, magic with the spirit of a Poe, a Thompson, a Bagby, the monuments, the museums. All these await students interested in history, business administration, government, sociology, literature, and make a lasting impression upon the student to whom "a thing of beauty is a joy forever." It is the policy of the director of the summer school to aid students in their efforts to see the things worth while ;n and about Richmond. Points of interest are discussed in the weekly assemblies and expeditions to the battlefields with members of the faculty are offered. This prevents the hap-hazard and illogical wanderings into which students who are comparative strangers to Richmond, naturally would fall. A six weeks residence in the midst of these scenes under the direction of men and women who know Richmond, is worth immeasurably more than the mere transient and hurried sojourn of the tourist. There is the lure of the wilds, a delightful comradeship upon the campus, the voice of a big city that ever calls, along with class work. The University of Richmond is glad to offer these inducements and believes them well worth considering when the student comes to select a summer school.

OF INSTRUCTION
SCHOOL OF ATHLETIC COACHING PROFESSOR
DOBSON
The object of this course will be to train capable coaches for high schools and preparatory schools. Athletic and school authorities are realizing more and more each year that the mere fact that a man has been an outstanding athlete in college is not sufficient to qualify him for the responsibilities of the present day coach. He must acquire an intimate knowledge of the theory and technique of the different sports to be able to teach them properly. This course will be of particular value to a man whose duties call for a combination of teaching and coaching and also to the man who is intensely interested in athletic work, but failed to make the varsity teams while in college or high school. Frequently men who have studied Athletics closely make capable coaches, although they have had little or no playing experience.
1. Football Coaching: Fifteen days; Fifteen hours. The theory and practice of the fundamentals of the game will be taught. These will include falling on the ball, charging, tackling, blocking, interference, passing, kicking, catching, and position play. Offensive and defensive styles of play, strategy and systems together with a study of the rules will be included in the course as well as training suggestions. 2. Basket Ball Coaching: Fifteen days; Fifteen hours. Fundamental basketball will be covered thoroughly in passing, shooting, dribbling, stops and turns, as well as individual and team play in offense and defense. Discussion of the rules and different systems of play will be included in this work. 3. Base Ball Coaching: Fifteen days; Fifteen hours. Great stress will be laid upon the fundamentals in this sport, which will include batting, bunting, base running, sliding, and

posit ion play and team play, offensive and defensive. Methods practiced by major leagu e clubs and discussion of rules will follow the fundamentals. 4. Track and Field Coaching: Fifteen days; Fifteen hour s. Every event in a standa rd track and field meet will be studied and practiced. The student will be taught the theory and form and will practice the following: shot, discuss, javelin, pole fault, high jump, broad jump, high and low hurdles, starting, sprinting, and distance running. Training methods will also be discussed. In all of these classe s the student will be expected to be supplied with some kind of athletic wear to take part in the practical work required.
PUBLIC SPEAKING PRO FESSOR
HANDY
A course in the principles and practice of Public Speaking is offered. The purpose of this course is the training of students in accuracy of thought and expression and in ease of delivery. The practical matters of clearness in thought and directness in presentat ion are kept constantly in view. Practice in the art of public speaking will be afforded by the delivery before the class of orginal orations and other forms of address. In addition to oral practice, there will be wide reading and critical study of examples of the various forms of public speech-deliberative, forensic, occasional, etc. NoTE.-No course will be offered for which there are fewer than five applicants.
