Precession of Equinoxes

An interesting question has been posed to our club (by mail!) from a budding astronomer.
It is this:
"Given that the Precession of the equinoxes goes through 1 deg, of its 360 deg Arc of 25,920yrs each 72 years, does this mean that the start of summer comes earlier or later each year ?"
Any ideas ?
