The Commission on Extension Courses has prepared an announcement of the courses to be presented during the year 1915-16. This commission represents Harvard University, Tufts College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston College, Boston University Museum of Fine Arts, Wellesley College, Simmons College, and the School Committee of the degree of Associate in Arts at Harvard, Radcliffe, Tufts, and Wellesley.
These courses which are held in the evenings, late afternoons, and on Saturdays are conducted in the same way as the corresponding courses in the Institutions represented, for in the majority of cases they are given by the college professors and instructors. To gain the degree of Associate in Arts the candidate must complete 17 full courses or 51 year-hours. The courses are divided into four groups similar to those here, at least one course being taken in each group. For further information regarding this work address the Committee on Extension Courses, University 19.
