The second session of the Universit.y of Michigan Summer School opens today. Every train is bringing studente, and the campua and libraries are becoming more animated than since cpmmencement. Today is registration day. The studente are being assigned to classes and other preliminary arrangements made. There are but two or three changes in the list of instructors as already uinounced. In mathematics Dr. J. W. Glover is here and oifers the same courses which liis prodecessor, Dr. F. X. Cole, offered. In drawing Mr. H. J. Golding takes the place or Miss Hunt. Mr. Golding is a Saginaw boy who lias been chosen to succeed Mr. D. B. Luten as instructor in engineering. In the biological laboratory is Mr. W. H. Rust whose recent work at Harvard abundantly qualifies him for the "mtion of instructor. In political economy Dr. J. P. Davis, author of the Union Pacific Railway, offers three popular courses. There exists the opinión in some quarters that the Summer School is a sort of teacher's institute. It is much more. Almost any course desired will be offered. There are several of gradúate courses. The instructors are all members of the University faculty and offer opportunities for advanced work and for original research seldom afforded during the summer months. Many are growing to appreciate this fact and are come to take advantage of it. Prof. McAudle, professor of mathematics at the North Dakota State University, lias asked admission for special work. Wm. Bellis, principal of schools at Quincy, comes here after two years' summer study at Cornell, to continue his work. Prof. De Barr, professor of physics and chemistry at the Oklahorna University is here for advanced work in laboratory courses. Prof. Wm. MeCracken, professor of physics and chemistry at Geneva College, Beaver Fnlls, Pa., is registered for advanced work in biology. These and others sliow by tlieir presence here that our Summer School is gainiug a wide and valuable reputation. There is no reason why we should not have as good a Sumrner School as any in the East. Arrangements have been made for a series of popular lectures given by the leading members of the faculty. These will usually occur on Tuesday evening of each week. Among those who will lecture are President Angelí, and Profs. Kelsey, Demmon, Hinsdal, Thomas and Carhart. Prof. Stanley had offered to give an organ recital but his absence in Europe will postpone this until anotber organist eau be secured. It is quite probable that a reception will be tendered the students during the progress of the school. Last year such a reception was given by President and Mrs. Angelí and was a delightful affair. The prospects are surprisingly good. This forenoon three times as many students registered with Prof. Lyman as during the same time last year, and the instructors are jubilant. Up to noon 30 had registered to take courses in latin, 20 for Physics, 21 for matics, 10 for animal biology, 11 for philosophy, 20 for Germán, etc., etc. These figures are sure to be raised by over one-half. , As for territory from which students are coming, the following states already have representatives here: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, California, Colorado, Missisippi, Oklahoma and Dominion of Canada. Prof. A. J. Howard, colored, professoi of mathematics and astronomy in a Mississippi college, carne this morning to take work. Sunerintendent Biscomb and wife from Cassopolis schools is here for study. From Nashville bighschool come the principal and two teachers. The law courses are proving quite a success, and Instructora Hughes, Dwyer and Smith are working hard to make their conrses profltable. The law library is kept open during the day, and the general university library from 9 to 12 a. m. and 2 to 4 p. m.
