HARVARD SUMMER SCHOOL

Professor N. Henry Black, director of the Harvard Summer School, announces that 153 courses will be given in the School this year. The season will extend from July 5 to August 16, inclusive, and, as always, will be open to men and women. The dormitories in the College Yard will be given over to students in the School, and meals will be served in the Union.

The Faculty of the School will consist of more than 100 men; about eighty of these are members of the regular Harvard teaching staff. Among the other institutions which will be represented on the Summer School Faculty are: Dartmouth College, Smith College, Boston University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Illinois, the University of Minnesota, and McGill University.

Special interest will be paid to the courses in economics which have been revised so as to include several on current problems. Among those who will conduct courses in this department are Professor John H. Williams of Harvard, who has recently returned from Europe where he was one of the two United States representatives on the preparatory committee of experts for the coming World Economic Conference in London. He will give two courses, one dealing with “Money, Banking, and Commercial Crises,” and the other with “International Financial Relations,” including war debts, foreign exchange, and other features of international finance.

Another course in economics will be “Programs of Social Reconstruction,” by Associate Professor Edward S. Mason of Harvard, who returned last fall from a year’s investigation of economic conditions in European countries. Professor Mason has recently given at the Lowell Institute, Boston, a series of lectures on the problems of socialism and economic planning.

The instruction in fine arts will contain five courses which were not included in last year’s program. On the teaching staff will be Professor Paul J. Sachs, associate
