Summer School Expecting Record Enrolment; Elliott, Keppel, Monro to Address Convocation

Session Opens With Registration Taking Place Today in Mem Hall

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An estimated 3850 students will begin registering today for the Harvard Summer School, the oldest in the nation. Dormitories are ready for occupancy, and the first meal will be served in the Harvard Union at noon.

The session will be opened with the annual Convocation, tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. in Sanders Theatre. William Y. Elliott, Director of the Summer School, will preside, and the speaekrs will be Francis Keppel, Dean of the Faculty of Education, and John U. Monro, Dean of Harvard College.

Following the Convocation, at 9 p.m., there will be a concert on the steps of the Widener Library, given by Schneider's Band.

Because of the expected increase in the Summer School's enrollment, there will be a new change in the dormitory housing setup. This year, for the first time, two of the Harvard Houses--Eliot and Winthrop--will be opened as living accomodations for male Summer School students. (During the College term, the Houses are used as living and social centers for upperclassmen and tutors.)

Women at the Summer School--who are again expected to number about 40 per cent of the total enrollment--will continue to live in the Yard.

Faculty Strong

The Faculty will number about 100 this summer, of which more than half are regular members of the Harvard Faculty.

In his annual message, William Y. Elliott, Director of the Summer School, stated that "last year was as successful a Summer School as we have had" and that this year "will be even better."

Some of the members of the faculty, which includes outstanding members of the Harvard faculty and visitors from universities throughout the world, are: Prof. Stephen K. Bailey of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University; Prof. Otto J. Brendel of Columbia University; Prof. Henry C. Darby of the University of London; Dr. Edmund J. King of the University of London; Prof. Allen Tate of the University of Minnesota; Prof. Hans J. Morgenthau of the University of Chicago; and Prof. C. Crane Brinton of Harvard University.
