The ques tion of the election of a summer school faculty will probably be taken up by the University Board of Trustees at their regu lar meeting late this month. Owing to conditions and the failure of the legislature. to pro vide the necessary appropria tion, the University summer school was discontinued during the summers of 1918 and 1919. The school will be reopened this year, however, on the appropria tion provided by the general as sembly at its recent session, run ning for four weeks, beginning June 28 and ending July 24. The summer school has been one of the University's most beneficial works in the State and it had been planned to reopen the school again this year even if the legis lature had not provided the funds, members of the regular University faculty offering their services gratis in order that the work might be done. The pro vision for the school by the legis lature eliminates the emergency features of the school and indi cations are that the instruction this summer will be even above the standard of previous years.
