Summer Preparatory School 10th Session ^ July 9-August 21

ix WEEKS of intensive class instruction, together with Regents examinations at S the end of the term, afford a most satisfactory and convenient means of com- pleting college entrance requirements, or of making up lost ground in high school courses. The Cascadilla Summer Session has a significant record for suc- cess in this field. The rates for tuition and living are moderate, the standard of scholarship high, the environment pleasant and stimulating.
