H—2 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 100 TO RETURN [ 22 New Members Join G. W. Faculty TOG W LSS Registration Starts Sep-| tember 21 for Year Open- ing September 25. Students numbering some 7,000 and 400 members of the faculty will return to George Washington University class rooms with the opening of the academic year on Wednesday, Septem- ber 25. Registration will take place Satur- day, September 21; Monday, September 23, and Tuesday, September 24, in all of the colleges, schools and divisions, including the Junior College, the Senior (Columbian) College, the Graduate Council, the School of Medi- cine, the Law School, the School of Pharmacy, the School of Engineering, the School of Government, the Divi- sion of Library Science, the Division of Fine Arts, the center of Inter- American Studies and the Division of University Students. Academic Community. Embracing a wide field of studies through its 50 departments of in- struction and various colleges, schools and divisions, and with a large and cosmopolitan student body, the uni- versity is an academic community in character akin to the great seats of learning which have grown up in all world capitals. Its students come from every State in the United States and from 40 foreign countries, and are engaged in preparation for a variety of careers, including Government serv- ice, both at home and abroad, and in Federal, State and local public office; medicine, the law, pharmacy, engi- neering, rescarch and teaching. brarianship, commerce and business, scientific and artistic pursuits. Sons and daughters of Washington families constitute a large portion of | Forming another | the student body. Jarge group are the children of high Government officials brought to ‘Washington through election or ap- pointment to public office. Hundreds of more mature students, employed in Government departments and in the business establishments of Washing- ton, by taking late afternoon classes and’ extending the time of study be- | yond the customary four years, com- plete a curriculum and obtain & degree. After 3 o'clock in the afternoon and on Saturday mornings numbers of teachers of the public schools of Washington and nearby communities attend classes. Research fellows working toward doctorates include many Government gcientists and specialist; whose names already are known in their respective fields. In the Law School there is each year a group of Naval officers, assigned by the United States Navy to secure legal training at George Washington University. The univer- sity’s many students from abroad constitute one of the largest foreign student groups in any American uni- versity. Co-ordinating Agency. Through its location, the university | profits enormously by the reservoirs of knowledge existent in the Nation's Capital. The university acts as a co- ordinating agency in establishing re- lationships between {ts membership and these resources and assimilates them in its programs of study and research. Though an urban institution, and hence without extensive campus, stu- dent life within the university finds enthusiastic expression through the various activities—athletic, journalis- tic, dramatic, forensic. musical—and through numerous clubs and Greek letter societies. Special attention is given to the cultivation of abilities of the individ- ual student through the comprehen- sive advisory system which operates Wwithin the junior college, and through the independent study plan open to upper-classmen. Thus, the student at George Washington has all of the advantages of close supervision offered by the small college. and at the same time is exposed to the broad field of studles afforded only by the-large urban university. SCHOOL BUILDING OPERATIONS LAG THROUGHOUT U. S. ‘(Continued From First Page.) between 1870 and 1900, and about 7.6 per cent of the structures date back to the Civil War period. No Unnecessary Building. “Contrary to an opinion widely held,” stated the research organization, “the period 1918 to 1930 was not one marked by wasteful and unnecessary school building construction. Individual cases of mismanagement can be cited in this period or any other, but in the Nation as a whole school building construction lagged behind actual needs. The amount actually spent for school buildings since 1918 is approxi- mately a billion dollars less than it would have been allowing an expendi- ture of $400 for each pupil added to the school system and for one-fiftieth of each year’s enrollment. “In the principal cities of the United States, building construction lagged behind that of other types from 1923 to 1930, the period of most liberal school expenditures. The average an- nusal expenditure per city began to de- eline in 1926, long before the depres- slon was felt.” —_— Pioneer Graduate Still Active. Although National University is 66 years old, the president of its first graduating class still is active in the affairs of the Law School. He is Judge Hosea B. Moulton, now past 90 years of age, who lives at 1351 Girard street.
