High School Subjects

If there are enough applicants to justify it, Professor W A Harris, of the University of Richmond Faculty, will offer cou rses in Cicero and Virgil as heretofore. Plane Geometry will al so be provided for if there is a sufficient demand.

Department of Law

The Law Course s will be offered for a period of twelve week s , consisting of two terms of six weeks each. Students may enroll for one or both terms. For information concerning this department, address James H. Barnett, Jr. , Secretary, T. C. William s School of Law, 601 N. Lombardy St., Richmond, Va .

The Library

The Library occupies the southern wing of Ryland Hall. The interior is panelled in oak, and the bookcases arranged in alcove plan. It contains about twenty-five thousand volumes, not including pamphlets, arranged ;:ind 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 annually 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.

The University of Richmond Summer School offers excep tional opportunity for combining the features of a summer school course with a delightful vacation. The temperature of the campus is always several degrees lower than that of the neighboring city, and the buildings, constructed almost wholly of brick, are cool and comfortable except in extremely hot weather. The beautiful lake on the campus offers unusual 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 is developed that is impossible in institutions where there is a large attendance. The summer school soon becomes 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 Capitol, the Medical College, the literary shrines-magic with the spirit of a Poe, a Thompson, a Bagby,-the monuments, the museums. Stu<lcnts 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 preYents the hap-hazard and illogical wanderings into which students who are comparative strangers to Richmond would naturally fall. A nine 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.
