...total of 28 courses of college grade will be given in the late afternons and evenings during the year by the Commission, of which Professor A. F. Whittem '02, Dean in charge of University Extension, continues as Chairman. Most of the courses are supported from the endowment of the Lowell Institute, and for those running through the entire year the fee is $5.00. For those lasting half a year the fee is 2.50. A few courses, not on that foundation supported by the endowment may require a larger registration...
