The Harvard Summer School will offer Far Eastern languages this year, for the first time in its history, Thomas E. Crooks '49, director of the Summer School, announced yesterday.
Crooks called this addition part of a general strengthening of the school's language program. In addition to the European languages already being offered, Crooks pointed out that Near Eastern languages were given for the first time last year, and will be continued again this year. Modern Hebrew has also been added to the curriculum.
Many students feel that taking courses at the summer Schools is "an eminently practical thing to do," because the courses can be counted towards a degree, Crooks explained.
He said that he Summer School will continue last year's policy of strict admissions. Students not enrolled in the University during the Spring Term must receive their respective college's permission to apply to the school.
Stricter admissions produced a harder working student body.
