The Brigham Young University Summer Session

THE BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY SUMMER SESSION Special Advantages are Offered By Lowry Nelson, Director Extension Division, B. Y. U. The summer quarter at the Brigham Young University com- mencing June 8 will be a "regular" quarter with a rich curriculum, and a large resident faculty supplemented by some of the leading educators of the nation. Students will find available, practically the same courses and facilities as are available during the other quarters of the school year. This arrangement makes it possible for students who are working towards a degree to satisfy group and major and minor requirements, and makes available graduate work in all the branches. Provo offers special inducements to the student seeking educa- tional advancement during- the summer. In the first place it is centrally located for Utah students, and it is from Utah and Idaho that Young University pulls its summer enrollment. In the second place, the facilities for enhancing student life with recreational activities are unparalleled in the state. The largest body of fresh water in the west, beautiful Lake Utah, is adjacent to Provo City, and affords excellent boating, bathing, and fishing. Several special excursions are taken each summer, at an expense within the reach of all. But the lake is only one feature that beckons the student to the out-of-doors. There are the majestic Utah valley mountains. The moonlight hike to Maple Flat on the mountains east of Provo is an experience which is never forgotten. Provo river, a mecca for Utah fishermen, holds additional thrills for the adventurer in its quiet jungles of cottonwood, boxelder, and wild roses, not to mention its contribution of sporting trout which await the "Complete Angler". Sunrise and sunset hikes are conducted to the river. The canyons near Provo are of unparalleled majesty. Provo canyon with its wonderful waterfalls, and its rugged magnificence, leads into the Provo valley to the north where the ever inviting "Hot- pots" lure hundreds of bathers. Up the North Fork of the Provo is to be found the campus of the B. Y. U. Alpine Summer School at the base of Mt. Timpanogos. This is located on the celebrated Timpanogos Scenic Highway which leads into Amercian Fork Can- yon where is located the famous Timpanogos Cave. Trips to all of these points are taken at very small expense. Then there is the caravan to the scenic wonders of southern Utah which is participated in during the first term. The famous Timpanogos

This is one of the most unique summer schools in America. Located at an altitude of 7,500 feet in the very midst of Alpine beauty, this school has excited the keenest enthusiasm of the noted men who have been its instructors, and of the students as well. Dr. H. C. Cowles declared it to be the most wonderful natural laboratory of plant life which he knew anything about in the temperate zone. Thisl noted plant ecologist spent two summers there, bringing with him a class of about twenty students from Chicago. The capacity of the Alpine school is to be increased this coming term so as to accommodate about 200 students, or approximately double the number who have been able to attend in the past. The courses offered include not alone the natural sciences, but such subjects as landscape painting, nature poetry, philosophy, and others. The B. Y. U. Summer quarter offers all that does any other quar- ter at the school and in addition presents the unusual opportunity of meeting men and women of national significance. This institution first introduced to the state such noted scholars as Ellwood Cowles, Devine, Bolton, Rugh. Consistent and regular work plus a rich social experience is the program of the summer session for 1925. Provo, Utah OUTING IN CASCADE In Cascade. Montana, some 200 Latter-day Saints have established a little com- munity under one of the irrigation enterprises of the State. This picture is one of the Mutual outing during the summer of 1924. It is interesting as showing the effect of the Mutual movement, even in the remotest parts of the Church, for sociability and clean recreation. We congratulate the Cascade people and hope to hear from them often.
