Thero Is to be no session rf the Sum

reached b- the trustees nfter a pro.
longed examination of the whole prob

believe In the Importance of the work
dene by the Summer School to Insure
tho continuance, of that work this sear.
Unfortunately, thero was considerable
loss In attendance and In revenue In the
summer e-esslon of 1917, and further
' Ions seemed Inevitable in 19 is. Part of

Similar conditions will undoubtedly
prevail thin year, and It Is therefore
hoped that the e losing of the Summer
School will not seriously affect tho plans
of many students now In attendance at
the University.
