UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND BULLETIN
eluding pamphlets, arranged and catalogued by the Dewey System. The most recent and useful bibliographical aids are provided, and the best periodicals and reviews, daily and weekly papers are currently received. As a depository of the United States Government, the Library acquires annua lly hundreds of publications especially valuable for reference in Social and Political Science. The students have direct access to the shelves every day, 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 the drudgery of class work ordinarily 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 is always several degrees lower than that of the neighboring city and the buildings, being constructed almost wholly of brick, are cool and comfortable except in extreme ly hot weather. The beautiful lake on the campus offers u.nusual facilities for boating and swimming. An expert swimmer is employed to supervise the lake during swimming hours, and, if there are sufficient applicants, instruction in swimming ·will be offered.
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 one large family.
AFTERNOON ON THE LAKE
22 UNIVERSl 'l'Y OF RrCHl\IOND
BuLLE'rIN
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 N"ation. There are the giant indu strial plants , the State Library , the Capitol, the Medical Coll ege, the literary shrines - magic with the spirit of a Poe, a Thomp son, a Bagby-the monuments , th e museums. Students interest ed in hi story, busin ess admini stration, government, sociology, li ter atur e, will find in Richmond almost unparalleled opportuni ties for study and observation.
It is the policy of the director of the summer school t o aid students in their efforts to see the things worth while in and about Richmond. Points of interest are discussed in the weekl y assemblies and expeditions to the battlefields with members of t he faculty ar e offered. This prevents the haphazard and illogical wanderings into which students who are comparative strang er s t o Richmond naturally would fall. A six weeks' residence in the midst of these scenes under the direction of men and wom en who know Richmond, is worth immeasurably more than the mere tra nsient and hurried sojourn of the tourist.
