Excerpt from Summer Schools 1900 The summer school faculty is almost always composed of mem bers of the university faculty. The term averages about six weeks and follows the closing of the usual school year. Both students and teachers are therefore able to work continuously for a somewhat longer year than usual and still have time for a moderate vacation before the work [of the next year begins. The University of Chicago however makes its summer quarter 12 weeks, the same length as its other sessions, dividing it into two terms. Here the regular student of the university may choose any three sessions he wishes or take all of them, thus being able to finish his course in shorter time. To do this of course a larger faculty is necessary to allow time for vacations. The University of North Carolina also makes its summer term 12 weeks. Fees vary from a merely nominal charge to the regular tuition of the institution. In some schools where state aid is available tuition is entirely or practically free; in others it runs from $5 to $20 a course, or $10 to $40 for the entire session.
