SUMMER SESSION The Summer Session of 1903 will open Monday, June 15th, continue nine weeks, and close Friday, August 14th. No examinations or other conditions will be placed upon admission. All who can do the work are welcome to get what they can from it. Those who can meet the requirements may matriculate in the University if they desire, and in that event may have credits to apply upon regular University courses, when certified, upon examination or otherwise, by the professors in charge. Examination in and credit for some of the courses may be had at the end of six weeks by any who find it impossible to remain during the whole session. Instruction begins on June 16th and closes August 12th. FEES A tuition fee of twelve dollars ($12) is required of all students in regular attendance at the session. This entitles one to admission to all special lectures and to as many courses as may be approved by the Director. An extra laboratory fee is charged in some courses for materials used. Any single course may be taken for a fee of six dollars ($6) and the laboratory fee, if there be any in connection with the course taken. For all students who take examinations, credit will be entered upon the University records. For further information address Thomas Arkle Clark, Director, or W. L. Pillsbury, Registrar, Urbana, Illinois. COURSES OFFERED ART AND DESIGN.-Two courses. Mr. Lake and Miss Jones. BOTANY.-Two courses, one of them an elementary course, accepted for admission.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES Following the description of each course of instruction will be found the necessary requirements, if any, for admission to that particular course. Careful attention must be given to these requirements and to the sequence of studies thus indicated. For instance, under Architecture 4, for students of the College of Engineering, page 173, there are required "Physics 1 and 3," and "Architecture 2 and 3." Turning now to these subjects, it is found that physics 1 and 3 are the major course of one year, architecture 2 is wood construction, and architecture 3 is metal construction. All these subjects must be satisfactorily passed before admission may be had to the class in architecture 4. In case a course not required for graduation is selected by less than five students, the right to withdraw the same for the semester is reserved. Graduate courses of instruction are described under the various subjects, as a rule after the undergraduate courses. They are numbered upward from 100. Other courses may often be arranged by the professors in charge to meet the special requirements of students. Credit is reckoned in semester "hours," or simply "hours." An "hour" is either one class period a week for one semester, each class period presupposing two hours' preparation by the student, or the equivalent in laboratory, shop, or drawing room. The semester, the days, and the class period or periods during which each course is given, and the number of "hours" per semester for which the course counts, are shown after each course, as follows: The semester is indi cated by the Roman numerals I., II.; the days by the initial letters of the days of the week; the class period or periods (of which there are nine each day, numbered consecutively from one to nine), by Arabic figures; and the "hours" or amount of credit, by Arabic figures in paranthesis. For example, after the description of Astronomy 5 occur the abbreviations I.; M., W., F.; 6; (3). These are to be read first semester, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, sixth period, three "hours."
