KFrUKT OF kSUMMEK SESSION. 



President David Friday, 



East Lansing, Michigan. 

 Dear Sir: 



I desire to submit a brief report of tlie summer session fur the season 

 1922. This session opened on Monday, June 2Gth, immediately following 

 the closing of the spring term and continued for six weeks ending on 

 August 4tli. 



The curriculum of this session was similar to that of our preceding 

 summer sessions. An endeavor was made to offer courses suited to the 

 needs of the various groups interested in summer work, including those 

 who had failed during the year and used the summer session to adjust 

 themselves in their college courses. This demand arises especially in the 

 elementary work of Chemistry, English and Mathematics. 



A liberal numiber of adv^anced courses in the Divisions of Agriculture 

 and Home Economics was offered to satisfy the needs of students utilizing 

 the summer session to either shorten the stay in college or to supplement 

 their courses selected for the regular terms. The large number of our 

 students Avho are making use of this session for such reasons is increas- 

 ing and is one of the most substantial reasons for maintaining a summer 

 session. 



A third gi-oup to whom we endeavor to minister each year with not all 

 together satisfactory resiilts in numbers is the students from outside our 

 student body. Tlie'quality of this contingent is high grade. Many come 

 from tlie nanks of the teaching profession and are iuvarinbly very earnest, 

 capable sludents. These include sujierintendents, principals and in- 

 structors of our higlv schools, wlio come to us to get tlie Agriculture and 

 other scieuices offered bv this College. Much more attractive terms in the
