ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE SUMMER QUARTER.
The Summer Quarter of the University is an integral part of the
University Year, the courses in the College of Arts and Sciences being
the same in character method and in credit value as in the other
quarters. In the Department of Education many professional courses
for elementary and high school teachers which are not offered in the
regular session are given to meet certificate requirements. The Summer
Quarter is divided into two terms for the accommodation of those
who can give only six weeks to the work but who desire University
credit. The First Term will begin June 22nd, and will close August
1st, with lectures five times a week. The Second Term will begin
August 3rd, and close September 5th, with six lectures a week.
Students may enter for either term or both. A separate registration
card must be filled out for each Term.
The normal amount of work for college credit which a student may
take, is three courses; but in a few exceptional cases, permission may
be obtained to take four courses. In all cases an additional fee of $5.00
will be charged for each extra course. See page 15.
The Summer Quarter is conducted for white men and women students
as follows: Those desiring to absolve entrance requirements,
elementary teachers seeking certificate or degree credit, high school
teachers desiring certificate or degree credit, students just entering
college desiring advanced standing, undergraduate students, pre-medical
students and pre-law students desiring to meet entrance requirements,
graduate students working for the master's degree or wishing
to engage in research, school officials, supervisors and superintendents,
and serious minded men and women who wish a wider knowledge of
some special subject or seek broader general culture.
ATTENDANCE.—A change from a six weeks' summer session to
a full Summer Quarter was approved by the faculty and authorized by
the Board of Visitors in 1920 and its rapid growth has justified the
wisdom of these bodies in establishing it. The total enrollment for
both terms in 1924 was 2897. Deducting duplicates in the second term
there was a total attendance of 2301 individual students. Of the total
enrollment 2206 were from Virginia and 691 from 36 other states and
countries. There were 1978 women and 919 men.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.—There are no formal examinations
for admission to the Summer Quarter. Students, are admitted
to such courses as instructors find them qualified to pursue with
advantage, but they should be graduates of accredited high schools or
have had equivalent preparation. If a student wishes regular admission
with a view to taking a degree, and does not expect to register in
the regular session of the University, he should present a full statement
with, as far as possible, official credentials of all work which he
has done in high school or college. These credentials should be sent
in advance to the Dean of the Summer Quarter. Suitable blank forms
will be furnished upon request.
LOCATION.—Charlottesville, the seat of the University of Virginia,
is in a picturesque and healthful situation among the foot-hills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is at the junction of two great lines
easy access from every part of the country. The sanitary arrangements
of the University are excellent. The climate is invigorating,
healthful, and free from malarial conditions, the average elevation of the
surrounding country being about six hundred and fifty feet above sea
level; the water supply is pure, being drawn by gravity from a mountain
reservoir six miles away; the system of drains and sewers is complete.
The average monthly mean temperature from 1901 to 1911,
taken from the records of the weather station at the University Observatory,
was: June, 71.4; July, 76.8. There are golf links, swimming
pools, and many other attractions for summer visitors.
EXCURSIONS.—Under the directorship of a competent guide, there
will be excursions to neighboring points of interest such as Monticello,
the home of Thomas Jefferson; the Natural Bridge; Luray Caverns;
the Grottoes of the Shenandoah; the battle fields in Virginia; and any
other points to which a sufficiently large number may care to go. The
proximity to Washington and Richmond and Old Point Comfort
(three hours' ride to each) should make a visit exceptionally interesting.
On designated clear nights parties will leave Cabell Hall at 8
o'clock to visit the McCormick Astronomical Observatory, where they
will be shown the stars through the large telescope in the Observatory.
To Luray and the Grottoes.—Saturday, July 18th. Special Excursion
Train if two hundred or more go. Total cost, including railroad
fare, entrance to both caves, and meals, about $6.50.
To Washington.—Saturday, July 11th, returning late July 12th.
Total cost—including sight-seeing trips through public buildings, the
City of Washington, Arlington and Mount Vernon, the services of a
guide and chaperone, hotel bills and railroad fare, from $12.00 to $14.00.
To Natural Bridge and Lexington.—Saturday, July 25th. An auto
trip over the beautiful Blue Ridge and through the famous Shenandoah
Valley. Cost about $6.00.
To Monticello.—Saturday, June 29th and July 4th. Automobile
round trip, including admission to grounds and building, $1.25.
To Richmond.—A week-end trip will be arranged to suit groups desiring
to visit this historic city.
ENTERTAINMENTS AND LECTURES.—A Musical Festival
and other entertainments will be announced during the session of the
Summer Quarter. The price of a season ticket is low, making the cost
about the same as moving pictures. Among the attractions already engaged
are:
June 29—Florence Macbeth, Coloratura Soprano of the Chicago
Civic Opera Company; July 2nd and 3rd—The Devereux Dramatic
Company in Don Cæsar De Bazan, The Country Girl, and Franceska
Da Rimini; July 10th—Albert Spalding, noted American violinist;
other numbers will be added to the program.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $7.50 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upward, according to accommodation and proximity to the University,
the average being $7.50 to $9.00 per week. Most of the boarding
houses immediately adjoin the University Grounds.
Two hundred and twenty-five furnished double rooms in the University
dormitories will be reserved for women, in the order of application.
The price for each term will be $12.00 for the full term of six
weeks for a double room. All checks for rooms should be made payable
by two persons. No reduction will be made for parts of a term.
Applications for rooms must be accompanied with the full amount
of the fee, which will be returned for good reason and room released
if application is made before June 10th. No rooms will be rented to
any person who does not register and pay the fee in the Summer Quarter.
Rooms that are reserved will not be held later than June 25th.
No room will be open for occupancy before June 19th. Roomers must
provide themselves with necessary bed clothes, towels, etc. Rooms
will be in charge of Mrs. E. I. Carruthers, an experienced matron
and chaperon. Residence, E. Range, Phone 271. Some members of
the faculty will be located in each set of dormitories. No cooking allowed
in rooms. The location of these dormitories in the University
grounds and the social advantages resulting from bringing so many
teachers close together make this arrangement a very desirable one
and the rooms are eagerly sought.
Application for dormitory rooms should be sent promptly with retaining
fee. For list of boarding houses, rates, etc., see page 70, or
write to Assistant Secretary Summer Quarter, Box 149, University,
Virginia.
No student will be permitted to room in a house not approved by the
Administrative Board of the Summer Quarter. If the name is not on
the approved list in the catalogue, inquiry should be made before accommodations
are engaged.
Students are requested not to accept rooms when prices quoted are
in advance of those listed in the catalogue. When a room is accepted
it is the usual understanding that it is for a term of six weeks, and a
student is expected to pay for that time unless there is a definite agreement
to the contrary in advance or it may be clearly shown that accommodations
are not as represented.
If accommodations are not secured before arriving, students should
go immediately to Peabody Hall, where there will be listed the available
boarding places still open. A guide will be at the station with the
Summer Quarter badge to aid students with baggage; but not to designate
boarding places. Students are cautioned against solicitors at the
station or on the grounds and are advised to accept advice and directions
only from official sources.
Baggage.—Trunks and heavy bags should be left at the railway
station until a residence is secured. There are two passenger stations
in Charlottesville; all baggage should be checked to Union Station,
Charlottesville.
No check for baggage should be given to a drayman or transfer
company without taking a receipt for it.
APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES.
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate
approximations of all necessary expenses for a session of six weeks.
Necessary expenses are reckoned as university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing,
traveling expenses, or pocket money. Three estimates are given—a
low, an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the three
depends on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books,
and laundry—in other words, on the scale of living of the individual
student. If a student shares a room with another student, and practices
the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below
the estimate.

UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA.—The University Cafeteria, conducted
by Mr. J. W. Preston, will be open for summer students and
will provide table board at very low prices. The average cost last
session for three meals per day, including all transient meals served,
was $20.00 per month. It is not necessary to reserve a place in the
Cafeteria in advance.
REDUCED RAILROAD RATES.—Reduced rates on the round
trip identification plan will be authorized from points * * * on the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western Railroads and from
Southeastern territory with the exception of stations on the Winston-Salem
Southbound Railway. The basis will be one and one-half fare
for the round trip, minimum excursion fare $1.00, and tickets will be
sold only to students and members of their families upon presentation
of identification certificates to ticket agents at time of purchase of
tickets.
Ask your station agent in advance of your coming about rates.
Tickets will be sold June 18-24, inclusive, and July 30, August 5th,
inclusive, final limit of all tickets September 11, tickets to be validated
by the regular ticket agents of the Charlottesville terminal lines over
which such tickets read before return journey is commenced.
Application should be made to Secretary, Summer Quarter, Box 149,
University, Virginia, for identification certificates.
FEES FOR VIRGINIA TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.—Tuition
is entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular courses,
leading to certification. No student, however, will be permitted to
take more than three courses without the payment of $5.00 for each
additional course. To meet local expenses, a registration fee of $5.00
for a six weeks' term is charged. An extra fee of $5.00 will
be charged for each graduate course. There are a few special courses
offered to meet certain demands, for which fees will be charged to all
who take them. The fee for each is designated in the catalogue.
Small fees in laboratory courses will also be charged all students who
register in them.
Students from Virginia who are not teachers will be charged the
same tuition as non-Virginia students.

The term "Virginia teachers" includes those who are now teaching
in Virginia or whose last teaching was in Virginia. The term cannot
be construed as meaning any of the following:
1. Those who are now teaching in other states.
2. Those whose last teaching was in other states.
3. Those who are planning to teach but have not yet taught.
Those who are planning to teach but have not yet taught, may be
exempt from the $15.00 tuition fee, if they will sign a pledge to teach
in Virginia in 1925 or, failing to do so, pay the fee.
FEES FOR NON-VIRGINIA STUDENTS.—A registration fee of
five dollars for each term and a tuition fee of $15.00 for each term will
be charged each student who registers from outside of Virginia. 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 permitted to take more than three courses
without paying a fee of $5.00 for each extra course. See page 15.
Note.—Teachers outside of Virginia are not limited in the choice of
courses to the regulations under which Virginia licenses are issued,
unless they desire to teach in Virginia and apply for a license issued
in this State. In this case only State certificates from other states issued
by a State Superintendent or a State Board of Examiners, and
approved in advance by the Department of Public Instruction of Virginia,
will be recognized as a proper basis for professional credit.
Teachers from other states will receive credit for all work done in
accordance with the certificate regulations of those States from which
they come. Most Southern States accept the work of the University
Summer Quarter for certificate credit or renewal.
Medical Fee.—A small medical fee of 75 cents will be charged each
person who registers each term, which will entitle him or her to free
medical attendance by Dr. J. Edwin Wood, Jr., the Physician of the
Summer Quarter, hospital phone, 548; residence phone, 820; office
hours at the hospital 8:30 to 9:30 and 4:00 to 5:00. Sundays and holidays;
8:30 to 9:30 A. M. only. Greatly reduced charges, if it should
be necessary, will be given at the University Hospital, under the following
regulations:
Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes
not due to his own misconduct, is entitled, without charge, to all necessary
medical advice from the Physician of the Summer Quarter; and,
if necessary, to nursing in the University Hospital at a reasonable
charge for maintenance while there. This exemption from charge does
not apply to cases requiring surgical operation, and for special treatment
of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, or to constitutional disorders
from which the student in question was suffering at the time of coming
to the University. Nor is the University responsible for the expense
incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated
by severe illness of the students, or through the maintenance of quarantine
precautions in contagious cases. Any student sent to the University
Hospital upon the advice and under the care of a physician other
than the Summer Quarter Physician will be required to pay the regular
hospital charges for private patients.
Late Registration and Transfer Fees.—Students who fail to register
on the days specified for the purpose must pay a special fee of $1.00.
A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change from one course to another
after registration has been completed, unless such change is officially
advised.
No auditors or visitors are allowed in classes unless this privilege
is mentioned in the description of the course. All who attend must be
regularly registered and enrolled.
Refund of Fees.—Students who withdraw within the period allowed
for registration and changes in program will be reimbursed the full
amount of tuition fees and half the laboratory fees, but no other fees.
Students who withdraw after the time allowed for registration and
changes cannot be allowed reimbursement for any fees.
PAYMENT OF FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES.—The Bursar
does not cash personal checks, but will accept them in payment of the
exact amount of fees, and they will be accepted at the cafeteria for
meal tickets. Students should provide themselves with Travelers'
checks, or New York Drafts, which may be obtained from their home
banks, or Postal Money Orders.
A Branch of the Peoples National Bank of Charlottesville is located
next to the Postoffice at the University where accounts may be opened,
if desired.
TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.—
Recitations will begin in all courses Tuesday, June 23rd, at 8:30 a. m.
There will be no classes on Saturdays in the first term but on three
days of each term, classes will meet twice in order that there may be
thirty hours of lectures, exclusive of examinations. The length of recitation
periods will be one hour, ten minutes of which will be allowed
for transfer from one room to another.
SUNDAY VESPER SERVICES.—Experience has shown that no
Sunday service held here during the summer has been more attractive
or more appreciated than the Vesper Service.
The service begins at half past seven o'clock and, when weather permits,
is held in the McIntire Amphitheatre. Otherwise in Cabell Hall.
The service consists of community singing, a brief address followed by
an appropriate musical program.
General Assembly and Vespers.—Every evening except Saturday
and Sunday, from 7:30 to 8:00 o'clock, a general assembly of students
and faculty will be held in the University Chapel. The program will
be informal and varied, and will be musical, devotional, educational,
or recreational. Assembly will be under the direction of a faculty
committee and will be led by members of the faculty and prominent
visiting speakers.
Convocation.—In order to provide for the increasing number of students
who complete the requirements for their degrees during the
Summer Quarter, a convocation exercise will be held Friday evening,
September 4th, at 8 o'clock, when degrees will be conferred.
Each applicant for a degree in the Summer Quarter must submit to
the Dean of the Summer Quarter for approval by the proper Committee
on Degrees, the program of work leading to the degree sought,
not later than April 1st of the year in which the degree is to be obtained.
If the Committee approves the program, it will be submitted
to the proper faculty of the University for recommendation to the
General Faculty and will be finally approved by the General Faculty
at the meeting in June at which other degrees are approved.
REGISTRATION IN PERSON.—Friday, June 19th, Saturday,
June 20th, and Monday, June 22nd, will be devoted to the registration
on these days.
Those who fail to register before June 24th, will be permitted to attend
classes, and register as promptly as possible at other hours.
A delayed registration fee of $1.00 will be charged all persons after
June 23rd.
The Registrar's office, located in Peabody Hall, will be open continuously
from 8:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Students should consult freely
with members of the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing courses.
No certificate will be granted to students who fail to register before
Tuesday, June 30th, except a certificate of attendance.
No student will be enrolled in any course without a registration card
naming the course in question and properly signed by the Registrar
and the Bursar.
REGISTRATION BY MAIL.—Registration may be completed by
mail to June 12th. For the necessary blanks, address, Secretary Summer
Quarter. Box 149, University, Virginia.
The following classes of students may register by mail:
1. Students previously enrolled in the Summer Quarter, or the regular
session of the University.
2. New students who do not need advice on their program of work,
or on a particular course which they wish to take.
Registration by mail is intended only for those who know the program
of studies which they may or should take. All such prospective
students are urged to register by mail. This will avoid the great congestion
on registration days, and enable the students to arrive a day
or two later.
Fees of those registering by mail may be paid after arrival at the
University.
THE GENERAL LIBRARY.—The General Library is open to the
corps of instructors and the students of the Summer Quarter, from
9 a. m., to 9:30 p. m. The collection contains about seventy thousand
volumes.
All books withdrawn from the library must be charged at the desk.
Usually books are lent for one week but there are exceptions, and the
loan expires on the date stamped in the book. Prompt return not
later than the date on which the loan expires is expected and borrowers
will be fined ten cents for each day delinquent. Students are
expected to give prompt attention to all communications from the librarian.
THE HECK MEMORIAL LIBRARY.—The Department of Education
maintains its own library in Peabody Hall, named in honor of
the first professor of Education in the University, the late Professor
William Harry Heck. At present the library consists of several thousand
well selected volumes covering most fields of Education, and files
of national, state, and foreign publications. It also will be open from
9 a. m. to 9:30 p. m.
REST AND STUDY ROOMS.—Madison Hall, the beautiful building
of the Young Men's Christian Association, and during the summer
session headquarters for the Y. W. C. A., will be open to students and
Faculty of the Summer Quarter, from nine o'clock in the morning until
ten at night. Students will have access to the current periodicals in
the reading room. The other rooms will be used for rest, for study,
for recreation, and for social gatherings. North of the building there
students.
The Secretary in charge will be Mrs. Albert Edward Walker, Hostess
at Madison Hall during the regular session. She and her assistant
Miss Ruth Richardson request the co-operation of all and invite
each student to make the Y. W. C. A. her "home" while at the University.
THE NEW MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM.—The new Memorial
Gymnasium is situated between the athletic field and the University
golf links, and offers facilities unsurpassed in any American university.
The main exercise room is 180 by 96 feet, with a ten-foot running
track gallery of twelve laps to the mile. There is also an auxiliary
gymnasium 30 by 70 feet. The swimming pool is 30 by 75 feet,
with a gallery for spectators. A general locker room provides for
1700 full-length steel lockers, with two shower rooms. There are also
spacious locker rooms and baths for home and visiting teams as well
as special rooms for boxing, fencing, and wrestling, and three handball
courts. The administration wing includes offices for the staff, examination
rooms and a large lecture room.
STUDENTS' MAIL.—In order to insure safe and prompt delivery
of mail, every student should have all mail directed to, University,
Virginia, giving always the street and number of his or her boarding
place or the number and location of his or her room in the University.
The local address should be field at the post office promptly upon
arrival.
Before leaving, each student should file at the post office his or her
forwarding address; otherwise, mail without return address which
comes after the student has departed, will be sent to the dead letter
office.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The Appointment Committee of the
Summer Quarter receives demands for teachers each year. This committee
is glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance
upon the Summer Quarter file their applications. There will be no
charge for this service except a small registration fee of $1.00 to assist
in the expenses of the Committee.
THE SUMMER SCHOOL NEWS.—The News is a college newspaper,
edited and managed by students of the Summer Quarter. It
contains all official and student organization announcements, campus
news and notes, editorial comment, etc. Its object is to acquaint individuals
with the life of the whole student body, and to unify the interests
of all.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING CREDIT.—The instructor giving
each course will keep the class grades and attendance, hold the
examination and average the class grade with the examination grade,
returning to the Dean of the Summer Quarter the general average
grade of each student in each course. Absences or delayed entrance
will be counted against the student. All examinations must be held
under the Honor System. A certificate for each course completed
with an average grade of 75 per cent. will be signed by the Registrar
of the Summer Quarter and mailed to the student. Each student who
wishes certificates sent, should file with the registrar not later than
July 17th, a large, self addressed stamped envelope for mailing them.
Credit Allowed by Other States Than Virginia.—Application has
been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
the extension of certificates by most of the Southern States. All
persons wishing to arrange for credits with their respective school authorities
should correspond with the Dean of the Summer Quarter.
Entrance Credit.—Where college courses in the Summer Quarter are
taken to absolve conditions or to meet entrance requirements, no more
than three units of entrance credit may be obtained in a full quarter.
University of Virginia College Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted
for work done in the Summer Quarter.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance requirements of the University
of Virginia and matriculate before he can receive credit in the
College for any work done in the University of Virginia Summer
Quarter.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the
courses in the summer quarter in lieu of the entrance examinations in
the same subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are equivalent
to those required for entrance to the University of Virginia, and
provided, that the certificate of courses completed be approved by the
University of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College will accept certificates of completion
of summer courses in the University of Virginia, provided that such
summer courses be approved by the University of Virginia professor
concerned as the full equivalent in character and scope of the corresponding
courses in the University.
All courses for which degree credit is designated in this catalogue
have been approved by the professors concerned and will be accepted
by the Dean for such credit as is indicated in the description of each
course.
(d) Students both men and women who satisfy entrance requirements
will not only receive credit in the University of Virginia for
college courses taken in the Summer Quarter, but the summer work
is recognized by standard colleges everywhere, so that students have
no difficulty in securing transfer of credits.
(e) That graduate courses completed in the Summer Quarter if approved
by the Committee on Graduate Studies, shall be credited just
as if they were taken in the regular session; that residence work aggregating
three summer quarters shall be considered as fulfilling the
residence requirements for the master's degree.
College Credit.—Candidates who desire credit for work done at other
colleges must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students,
and must, in addition, file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a
certificate covering the courses for which college credit is desired.
The certificate must bear the official signature of the head of the candidate's
college, must specify the character of the courses passed by
the candidate, and must give his grades. The final validation of such
certificates is effected by the successful completion of the courses
taken in this university. In no case will credit be given on more than
forty-five session-hours of work done elsewhere, and any candidate
who receives this maximum amount of credit can count among the
remaining fifteen session-hours required for his degree only the credit
value of the courses he has passed as a resident student in the Summer
Quarter. In every case the candidate must spend at least three
full summer quarters in this University.
REGULATIONS.
The Session-Hour.—All courses are measured in terms of the session-hour
as a unit. A session-hour is one hour a week throughout
the regular session of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week
throughout the session of laboratory work, or five hours a week or five
laboratory periods a week for a term of six weeks in the Summer
Quarter.
It is equal to two semester hours or three quarter hours.
Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each student
may undertake each term courses aggregating three session-hours
(with the exception noted in paragraph I).
(I) A student may take four session-hours, provided he (a) has
passed in the regular session at the college last attended courses aggregating
fifteen session-hours, or (b) is in his graduating year and
needs four session-hours for his degree.
Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special
permission of the Dean of the Summer Quarter and all of the professors
concerned.
Physical training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.
Grade.—The grade of a student in any course is determined by his
class standing and his examination grade, combined in such proportion
as the professor in charge of the course in question may decide.
Class standing in any course is determined by the regularity of the
student's attendance upon the lectures (and laboratory or other similar
exercises) of the course, and by the quality of his work, as indicated
by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work, etc. For
passing in any course a grade of seventy-five per cent. is required.
For certificate regulations, see page 28.
Report of Grades.—A report of the final grade in each course pursued
is mailed to each student as soon as practical after the close of
each term.
Transcript of Records.—After the original record is issued, a charge
of twenty-five cents will be made for each transcript of a record. Remittance
should accompany each application.
Report of State Credits.—State credits and State certificates will be
sent from the Department of Public Instruction, Richmond. Students
who fail to get their certificate should communicate with the
Supervisor Certification, State Board of Education, Richmond, Virginia.
Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but only
for sickness or like providential cause. Any explanation of an absence
which a student has to offer must be made on the day of the
first lecture attended after the absence.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused, except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused
absence is counted as a total failure.
Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date to be arranged between himself and the professor
in charge of the examination.
Re-examinations.—A student whose grade in any course falls below
written recommendation of the professor in charge, be admitted to
re-examination upon that course during the first two days of registration
of the following Summer Quarter. All applicants for re-examination
must register and pay the fee of $2.50 on or before the first
of June.
The Honor System.—All examinations are held under the Honor
System. Its administration is entirely in the hands of the students
through the Honor Committee.

Six degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the regular session
of the College. Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the
Bachelor of Science, are cultural; the Bachelor of Science in a Special
Subject, the name of which is inscribed on the diploma, the Bachelor
of Science in Architecture, the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, and
the Bachelor of Science in Medicine, are vocational degrees, designed
for those who wish to fit themselves especially for professional work.
Appropriate courses taken in the summer quarter count toward these
degrees.
No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of
the work credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor
can any work done to remove an entrance condition be counted for
any degree.
The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year.
Courses in the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the Department
of Education, are the same in character and in credit value as in any
other quarter of the University. Degrees are conferred upon men and
women upon exactly the same terms for work done in the Summer
Quarter when the degree requirements are fully met. Sixty session-hours
of undergraduate courses exclusive of physical training taken in
conformity with the requirements published herewith, are required for
the Bachelor's degree. Those who contemplate completing their degree
requirements in the Summer Quarter should keep clearly in mind,
in estimating the time that will be required, that the normal amount
Candidates for a degree who desire credit for work done at other
colleges must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students
and must, in addition, file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a
certificate covering the courses for which college credit is desired.
This certificate must be acceptable both to the Dean of the Summer
Quarter and to the Dean of the Department in which the degree will
be obtained. The certificate must bear the official signature of the
head of the candidate's college and must specify the character and content
of the courses passed by the candidate and must give his grade.
In every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer
Quarters at the University in order to meet the residence requirements.
The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualified persons
in three Summer Quarters. In no case is this degree to be conferred
upon any person who has not attended and done graduate work three
full Summer Quarters or the equivalent time in the regular session of
the University.
All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree
through summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of
the Summer Quarter an official statement of their entrance requirements
and work for which college credit is desired. Blanks for this
purpose will be mailed upon application.

wish to become candidates for the Master's degree at this University.
This registration should promptly follow registration at the Summer
Quarter office in Peabody Hall.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Admission to the Department.—For admission to the Department of
Graduate Studies a baccalaureate degree from a recognized institution
of collegiate rank is required, for men and women alike. In order to
become a candidate for a degree, the student must be advanced to candidacy
by the Committee on Rules and Courses upon formal application
as set forth below.
Advancement to Candidacy for a Degree.—Any graduate student
who wishes to become a candidate for a degree must file with the
Dean of the Department his application on a blank form to be secured
from the Dean's Secretary. This application must include a proposed
program of work arranged in accordance with the requirements for the
several degrees as stated below, and must be accompanied, in case the
applicant does not hold an academic degree from this University, by
an official transcript of the applicant's academic record made out by
the Registrar of the institution from which the baccalaureate degree
was received, and by a catalogue of that institution, marked to show
the courses of study pursued. The application will be submitted by
the Dean to the Committee on Rules and Courses, who will consider
it in conference with the professors concerned. The Committee will
have the right to require that the applicant add to his program any
courses, undergraduate or graduate, considered necessary to supply his
deficiencies, or to enable him to pursue with profit the courses he has
selected. When the program has been finally approved, the Dean
will report to the applicant his advancement to candidacy for a degree.
It should be distinctly understood that graduate degrees are not conferred
merely upon the basis of the number of courses passed, or of the
length of time spent in resident or non-resident work, but upon the
basis of the quality and scope of the candidate's knowledge and his
power of investigation in his chosen field of study. Candidates whose
training and attainments are inferior cannot expect to secure a degree
in the normal length of time estimated below for the respective degrees.

resident graduate work, or three summer quarters, of the program of
studies approved for the candidate by the Committee on Rules and
Courses, as embodied in his formal application for advancement to
candidacy. This application must be submitted not later than one
week after registration. The program must form a consistent plan of
work, to be pursued with some definite aim, and grouped around some
one subject to be known as the candidate's Major Subject, the name
of which will be incorporated in the body of each diploma conferring
the degree. The program should be arranged in consultation with the
professors concerned, and must be approved in writing by a professor
of the Department of Graduate Studies, after consultation with the
candidates.
(2) The preparation and submission of a thesis, and an examination
written or oral, upon the program of study, to be accepted as

each. In no case will a degree be conferred without resident graduate
study during three Quarters, the equivalent in time of the regular session.
Graduate students in the Summer Quarter are required to make
their Master's degree in three out of five summers, after being accepted
for graduate courses without conditions. Graduate students are
advised to continue their residence, if possible, during one or more
terms of the regular session.
Courses, Session-hours, and Grade.—Only those courses marked C
in this catalogue may be counted toward the Master's degree. Not
more than two graduate courses each term of the Summer Quarter
will be credited toward the degree except by special permission of the
Dean and the Committee on Graduate Studies.
At least twelve session-hours of resident work, constituting a definite
program of study and distributed over three Quarters, or six Summer
terms, are required for the Master's degree. Terms devoted entirely
to undergraduate study will not be counted in residence for the Master's
degree.

numerical grade, but by one of the following terms: Distinguished,
Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory.
PRE-LAW COURSES.
For Admission to the Department of Law, in addition to the completion
of an approved high school course of four years, or its equivalent,
the candidate must present evidence that he has pursued at
least two years of standard college work, of which he must have successfully
