The summer session should appeal to several classes of individuals.
There will be a splendid opportunity for those who
wish to fit themselves for better Christian service in the home
congregation. This is a worthy desire and should be satisfied.
There are people who wish to broaden their scholarship and who
at the same time have no desire or intention of completing a college

fall session and thus prepare for unconditional college entrance
without examination at that time.
2. College Students.

the regular session and attend summer sessions and soon finish
your degree requirements. One year may mean a great deal in a
career. Why not begin your college work now? Many of the
required courses for the Bachelor of Arts Degree will be offered
this summer. There is no need to defer the matter of school
attendance until a later date. Begin now!
3. Teachers.
The summer months are the most opportune for you to improve
