should offer a substantial program, not limited to any one field, in a downtown location. It is also believed that this expansion is demanded by the University’s growing program of service to its community.” The summer sessions of the University have also shown steady growth. The 1927 session which marked the twenty- first year of the summer session enrolled nearly 2500. Compe- tent instructors from the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions offered courses from J uly 5 to August 12. The purpose of the summer school, as expressed in the bulletin, is “to meet the needs of those preparing for teaching as well as of those in other fields who can avail themselves of the opportunity the summer affords for further study.” There are courses for those working towards teachers’ certificates, for those who wish a higher certificate, for those wishing to take regular University work, or for those who wish to attend for the purely cultural value. Summer session courses were also conducted at Johnstown and Erie. The Extension Division, gives courses in towns scattered from Erie to Morgantown, and Altoona to Steubenville. It is the aim of this division to bring higher education to the very door of citizens unable to attend the University proper. The Division provides speakers, conducts surveys, offers academic courses, runs a teachers’ appointment bureau, and acts as a general clearing house for community educational problems. The recently established Johnstown Junior Col- lege and the Erie Center are under the direction of the Extension Division. The proposed medical center, in which the University of Pittsburgh school of medicine will have teaching privileges, is a forward step in furthering the medical profession. Such a center will contain a group of teaching hospitals, dispensary facilities, nurses’ training school and home; administrative, library, laboratory, and lecture room facilities. Each unit of the proposed group will preserve its own identity and management, cooperating only for teaching and laboratory service and economy of administration. Of this proposed medical center, the Children’s Hospital is the first building actually erected. The Elizabeth Steel Magee Maternity Hospital is already closely affiliated with the University.
