SUMMER SCHOOL "CONTRACTS" VOID IF AMERICA ENTERS WAR

Teaching "contracts" for the coming session of the Summer School are not binding in the event that the United States should become involved in the European conflict, it was revealed yesterday.

According to Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology and Director of the Summer School, the contracts "which are merely formal letters" contain an escape clause providing for the "contingency of the United States' participation in the European war."

"The agreements were made out last September at the time of the outbreak of the fighting, and it was realized that if we should enter the war, a complete change of the Summer School program would be necessary. There is now not a chance in the world that this will come about," Mather asserted.
