FEES.
For Non-Virginia Students.—A single registration fee of twelve dollars
will be charged each non-Virginia student. This fee will entitle the student to
enter any of the courses outlined in the catalogue, except a few special courses
which are so designated. No student, however, will be allowed to take more
than three advanced courses or six elementary courses without special permission
in writing from the Director.
For Virginia Students.—Students from Virginia who are not teachers or
preparing to teach next session will be charged the same tuition as non-Virginia
students.
Tuition will be entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular
courses, both elementary and advanced, leading to the professional and first
grade certificates. To meet local expenses the State Board of Education has
fixed a registration fee of $1.00 for a four weeks' term and $1.50 for a six
weeks' term for all the Summer Schools of the State, and these fees will be
charged here. There are a few special courses offered to meet certain demands
but not necessary for certificate credit, for which fees will be charged. The fee
for each is designated in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory courses will
also be charged all students who register in them.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
The pipe organ in Cabell Hall is one of the best products of one of the
largest organ manufacturers in America. It is an antiphonal organ with fifteen
hundred pipes, and exhibits all the possibilities of organ manufacture. To bring
out these possibilities requires a master organist, and it is the purpose of the
management of the Summer School to procure distinguished organists for the
recitals.
A Musical Festival and other entertainments will be announced during the
session of the Summer School. The Coburn Players last session presented three
plays: The Yellow Jacket, An Imaginary Sick Man, and Macbeth. The Clifford
B. Devereux Company gave three plays: She Stoops to Conquer, As You Like
It, and A Modern Drama; the Frank Lea Short Company, three plays, The
Ernest Gamble Concert Party, one recital; Jennie Dufau, one recital. Negotiations
are pending for a number of high-class attractions for the session of 1916.
The whole course includes about twenty numbers and the price of a season
ticket is $2.50, making the cost about the same as moving pictures. Besides
there will be moving pictures regularly in Peabody Hall.
