SUMMER SESSION

LOS ANGELES, 1920

In conformity with the declaration of purpose by the Board of Regents, the University of California established in 1918 the Summer Session in Los Angeles. The success of the experiment led to the decision

[graphic][merged small]

of the Board to continue the session thus created. The instruction will be given again in the group of buildings of the Southern Branch of the University of California (formerly the Los Angeles State Normal School).

Session of 1920.

The third annual session will begin Monday, June 21, 1920, and will continue until Saturday, July 31, a period of six weeks. During the same period the University will also conduct its Summer Session in Berkeley. An intersession will be conducted in Berkeley from May 10 until June 19, 1920.

In the Los Angeles Summer Session of 1918 the number of students registered was 630. In 1919 the number registered was 894; of these 765 came from California, 129 from other states or countries.

Purpose of the Session.

The courses in the Summer Session are designed to meet the needs of the following persons:

1. Teachers who wish to increase their professional skill, to revise and extend their knowledge of a chosen field, or to qualify in new subjects, preparing to meet the special demand for instruction in various departments. (With state and federal aid, under the Smith-Hughes Aet. special Summer Session courses are offered at the University Farm, Davis, for those preparing to teach vocational agriculture and the supplemental vocational subjects in California high schools.)

Teachers who desire to be prepared for service in vocational schools and classes maintained under the provisions of the State and Federal Vocational Education Acts, and the recent State Compulsory Part-Time Education Act, which becomes effective with the beginning of the school year 1920. The courses designed primarily for this purpose are listed on pages 76 and 77 of this bulletin.

2. School superintendents, supervisors, and other officers.

3. Graduate students, to whom the advantages of smaller classes and the more direct and intimate personal contact with the professors in charge are peculiarly possible during the Summer Session. Residents of Los Angeles and vicinity may continue studies leading to higher degrees without making the journey to Berkeley.

4. Undergraduate students, and especially those registered in the fall or spring sessions of the University, whose homes are in the southern part of the state, may use a portion of the vacation to take up studies for which they are unable to find room in their regular programmes, or to make up deficiencies, or to shorten their courses.

5. Properly recommended high school graduates who are about to enter upon regular university courses and who desire to broaden their preparation for university work.

6. Housewives, graduate nurses, social workers, Americanization workers, students of public health, and all adults who are qualified to pursue with profit any course given, whether or not they are engaged in teaching or study.

Faculty.

The faculty of the Summer Session will include not only members of the regular faculties of the University, but also a number of men of letters and science from Eastern universities.

Applications for Admission.

All persons who desire to attend any of the courses are urgently requested to notify the Recorder of the Faculties on or before Wednes day, June 2, using the blank form of application at the end of this

bulletin. Compliance with this request will facilitate the making of adequate arrangements by the University, and will make possible prompt communication with prospective students in case of change in the

programme.

Admission Requirements.

Attendants upon the exercises of the Summer Session are divided into two broad classes:

A. Auditors. Any adult of good moral character is permitted to attend all the regular exercises of the session, as an auditor, upon the filing of an application and the payment of the regular tuition fee of twenty dollars. This may be done by mail. An auditor does not participate in recitations, does not take examinations, and does not receive formal credit on the books of the University either for attendance or for any study or investigation which he may undertake.

B. Students. While there are no formal admission requirements and no entrance examinations, the officers in charge of admissions will keep in mind the fact that the instruction offered is such as is suitable for students of university grade, and these officers will exercise their discretion in admitting to student privileges only those applicants who appear to possess the requisite maturity, training, and intelligence. Furthermore, the instructor in charge of a given course may himself require of those who present themselves as students in this course any preliminary test, formal or informal, which he may deem essential to the work proposed.

The University will not, as a rule, admit to the Summer Session pupils from the high schools who have not yet completed the four-year high school course. Where an exception is made to this general rule, the pupil will be required to devote himself to courses given primarily or exclusively for matriculation credit, such as the "A" or "B" courses in chemistry, physics, mathematics, drawing, stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping, and the languages. the applicant will be required to procure from the principal of his school, and to present at the University a special testimonial, as evidence of superior scholarship and of unusual fitness for the work proposed. blank form of testimonial for the principal's use may be obtained from Only by special arrangement made in advance may Summer Session courses other than the "lettered courses be applied toward matriculation.

And in every such exceptional case

the Recorder of the Faculties.

Registration Dates.

A

The office of the Recorder of the Faculties will be established in Millspaugh Hall, Southern Branch of the University, and will be open

for the registration of students Saturday, June 19, and Monday, June 21. For detailed directions as to entrance see page 84.

With the approval of the Dean, teachers whose regular employment makes it impossible for them to register on the first day (Monday) may register as late as the second Monday, but such students may enroll in the courses desired only when, in the opinion of the instructor, they have satisfactorily covered the ground of the first week's work.

The tuition fee will be twenty dollars ($20 regardless of the number of courses taken. Laboratory fees will be charged in courses in agriculture, chemistry, civil engineering, home economics, physics, and typewriting. The fees in each case are stated in the description of the courses.

Persons desiring to attend courses or occasional lectures without examination or formal credit may secure for this purpose an auditor's ticket upon payment of the regular fee ($20).
