Tlie Colleges and Schools 241 summer term to be held in 1907, " t h e University establish a free scholarship (a) for all persons who have taught daring the year 1906-7 in the high schools of the State of Illinois; and (b) for all other persons who have taught in the schools of Illinois during the year 1906-7, and who may be able to qualify for full admission to the University in either of the Colleges, Literature and Arts, Science, or Engineering.'! The recommendation was approved by the Board, and the scholarship 8 have up to the present time been granted annually on the same conditions. In addition, summer session scholarships have been granted since 191042 to those persons (otherwise qualified) who have contracts to teach during the following school year and to those who graduate from the various state normal schools in Illinois in June of the year in which the summer session is held. As a result of these endeavors of the University to promote the general educational interests of the state, about half of the total number annually enrolled in the summer session consists of high school and public school teachers of Illinois in active service. The summer sessions have grown in strength and value year by year. In 1904 the faculty consisted of thirty-three members; in 1919, of one hundred and fourteen. There were three visiting professors from other universities who gave regular courses in 1904, and five in 1919. The relative strength of the faculty in these two years may be seen from the following table: FACULTY IIST SUMMER SESSION 1904 AND 1919 1904 Visiting Professors 3 Resident Professors 3 Associate Professors Assistant Professors 10 Associates Instructors 16 Assistants 1 Lecturers % Total "Ibid., 1910, p . 545 33 1919 5 26 3 19 18 25 15 3 114 Ik
