The Library occupies the southern wing of Ryland Hall. The interior is panelled in oak, and the bookcases arranged in alcove plan.

As a depository of the United States Government, the Library acquires annually hundreds of publications especially valuable for reference in Social and Political Science. The students have direct access to the shelves every clay, and the Librarian and assistant are always on hand to give help in any line of reading or research.

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

AFTERNOON

UNIVERSITY

OF R.JC:HMOND

BULLETIN

the drudgery of class work oramarily so trying during the hot weather period. In its suburban situation , 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 wh olly of brick, are cool and comfortable except in extremely hot weather. The beautiful lake on the campus, offers unusual facilities for boating and swimming, while the picturesque James River nearby calls to the student who loves the great outdoors, offering opportunities for fishing, camping, and boating parties. Profe ssors 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 instituti ons where there is a large attendance. The summer school soon becomes as one large family. The proximity of the school to the historic city of Richmond affords an education in itself. Every street is freighted with the romance of the making of a Nation. There are the giant industrial plants, the State Library, the Capital, the Medical College, the literary shrines-magic with the spirit of a Poe, a Thompson, a Bagby,-the monuments, the muesums. Students interested in history, business administration, government, sociology, literature, will find in Richmond almost unparalleled opportunities for study and observation. It is the policy of the director of the summer school to aid students in their efforts to see the things worth while in 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 , naturall y 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.
