Frog Is Sole Occupant. “Amoeba Lagoon,” meaning “a lake for the lowest form of animal life,” is the latest at the university. At pres- ent the pond boasts of one lonesome frog, but plans are under way to have the water swarming with fish before long. The lagoon is the result of the combined efforts of the zoology. flori- culture and landscape gardening de- partments, the idea originating with the last mentioned. All of the ferns and shrubbery that are being used are native to the State of Maryland. The tenth session of the summer school at the university will open Wednesday, June 25, and continue six weeks, ending August 5. Teachers and special students not seeking a degree are admitted with- out examination to the courses of the summer session for which they are qualified. All such selection of courses, however, must be approved by the director of the summer school. Same Entry Requirements. Admission requirements for those who desire to become candidates for degrees are the same as for any other session of the university. Before reg- istering such candidates will be re- quired to consult the dean of the school in which he wishes to obtain the degree. ¢ The work of the summer school was desligned originally for rural teachers. Many persons, however, it has been found, desire to attend the university in the summer to pursue courses in other lines of work. For this reason additions, both academic and profes- slonal in character, have been made gradually, until the present program of studies includes courses for the teachers of the several classes of school work — elementary, secondary and vocational. for special students, such as farmers, breeders, dairymen, home- makers, chemists, public speakers, graduate students, and persons who are candidates for degrees in agri- culture, arts and sciences, education, engineering and home economics. Willard S. Small, dean of the Col- lege of Education, is director of the summer school. J. E. Palmer is ex- ecutive secretary. Booklets or other information may be had by making request to either of them at College Park. AMERICAN UNIVERSITY RECEIVES COLLECTION American University has received from Col. Paul Hurst, U. §. A, an impressive collection 6f old manu- scripts and autographs of distin- guished persons, gathered by John La Monte Hurst, son of Bishop Johan F. Hurst. The collection represents the resujts of careful selection during the life of the donmor, John La Monte Hurst, from his graduation from Harvard in 1885, to his death. in 1918. Mr. Hurst served for many years in the American embassy and the Metho- dist mission in Rome, and many of the choicest specimens are Itallan.

Two letters frem Alexander Humboldt and two from Paul Heyse are the most notable contributions from Germany, while outstanding ad- ditions from England are manuscripts of Michael Faraday, the physicist, and Herschel, the astronomer. There are also nineteen manuseript volumes, in Latin or Italian for the most patt, many of which date from the middle ages, and a specimen of old Egypyan inscription on papyrus, Most of these have been only partially deciphered, but experts who have seen them believe them to posses: unusual interest and value, ‘The annual outing of Phi Delta Gamma Sorority of American Univer- sity was a motor trip to Fredericks- burg, Va., last week, on which the party. was made up of Adeline Goble, Vera Brungart, Grace B.
