HISTORY
The Curry Memorial School of Education was founded in 1905 as one
of the academic schools of the University. It was endowed by gifts of $100,000
from John D. Rockefeller and $50,000 from the General Education Board,
and was named in honor of Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the Southern educator.
There were originally two professionships in the School, the Curry Memorial
Professorship of Education and the Professorship of Secondary Education.
In 1914 a chair of Educational Psychology and Principles of Teaching was
added to the School, and two years later a Professorship of School Administration
was established.
In 1919 the School was organized into a Department of the University,
with four professorships, and was placed upon a professional basis similar
to that of the Departments of Law, Medicine and Engineering. The relation
of the Department of Education to the various academic schools of the
University remains close, however, since the academic training of students
of Education is obtained in the academic schools, and courses in Education
are credited toward the academic degrees.
In the spring of 1928 plans were matured to provide more adequate
facilities for observation, practice teaching, and experimental studies. The
school authorities of the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle
joined with the University of Virginia in establishing a program of experimental
education and teacher-training. After the preliminary program
of organization had been approved, the General Education Board of New
York City granted to the University a subsidy of $20,000 a year for a period
of two years to forward the program and make possible its operation for the
session of 1928-29. The Rector and Visitors of the University made a supplementary
appropriation of $5,000 annually for a period of two years, thereby
giving the Department additional funds amounting to $50,000 for the biennium,
1928-1930.
PURPOSE
The rapid development of educational science and practice has made it
necessary that ample provision be made for the professional training of those
who expect to teach or to administer school affairs. The Department of
Education, therefore, aims to provide the following:
1. An opportunity for the study of Education as an important function
of society.
2. To give the necessary technical training for teaching and administration
to:
a. University students, with or without experience, who intend to
teach;b. Secondary school principals;
c. Normal school teachers and administrators;
d. College teachers of Education;
e. School superintendents, supervisors, and other executives of schools
of all grades in cities, counties, and states.
3. To develop scientific methods of testing school work and to furnish
demonstrations of the way in which these methods may best be applied, thus
developing a spirit of observation and experimentation tending to increase our
knowledge of the science and art of education.
4. To become a center of educational influence to which teachers of all
grades and kinds may come for information and educational guidance.
5. To furnish to the general public information on any phase of school
organization, administration, and supervision, thus helping to create a clearer
general understanding about Education and the State.
PEABODY HALL
Peabody Hall, the Education Building, was named in honor of George
Peabody, who in 1867 made his great gift to the cause of education in the
South. The building was made possible through a gift of $40,000 from the
trustees of the Peabody Education Fund. This amount was supplemented
by an appropriation of $12,000 from the Rector and Visitors of the University.
The building was completed in 1912, and is the home of the Curry Memorial
Department of Education.
The plans were drawn by a modern school architect, and approved by
some of the leading authorities on school architecture in this country. It is,
therefore, a model of excellence in this regard. It is one of the best equipped
buildings in the University, and has ample classroom and laboratory
facilities, and an excellent auditorium equipped with a modern motion picture
machine. Modern requirements in heating, lighting and ventilation are
exemplified in its construction without sacrificing conformity to the general
style of classic architecture prevailing in the University.
Adequate provision is made for a Departmental library, seminar rooms,
classrooms, psychological laboratory, and offices for the administrative officers
and teaching staff of the Department.
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. The library was made possible through the
gift by Mrs. Anna Tuttle Heck of Professor Heck's private library containing
approximately 2,000 well-selected books on Education, and the transfer of
all books on Education from the General Library of the University. Splendid
equipment was procured through a gift of money from students in Education,
the Education Club and friends of Professor Heck. A gift of $3,000 from
Mr. Alfred W. Erickson of New York City has enabled the Department so
to strengthen its professional library as to offer very superior facilities to its
rapidly growing student body, by making possible the enrichment of every
course now offered. At present the library consists of several thousand select
books covering most fields of Education, a complete file of publications of the
United States Bureau of Education, various national, state and foreign documents,
state school laws, annual reports of state superintendents of public
instruction, city superintendents' reports, etc. Files of the leading educational
magazines are available for free use of the students. Exhibits of elementary
and high school texts for comparative studies are made available through the
generosity of various publishers.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Requirements for the Admission of Men.—To be admitted to regular
standing in the Department of Education, men must have satisfied the entrance
requirements of the College. Students who have decided to enter
the teaching profession at the time of entering the University should register
with the Dean of the Department of Education in order to be advised in planning
their curricula. Holders of State Teachers' Scholarships are required
to register in the Department of Education.
Requirements for the Admission of Women.—To be admitted to regular
standing in the Department of Education, women must be twenty years of
age, must meet the entrance requirements of the University and must have
completed two years of college work aggregating 30 session-hours in
academic subjects. Candidates not able to meet these requirements may
make up their deficiencies during the Summer Quarter.
All women students must first register at the office of the Dean of Women,
20 East Lawn.
Women planning to enter the Department of Education after completing
the two years of work required for admission should choose, during the two
years, courses corresponding to the University courses recommended for
students at the University during the same period. The Dean will welcome
conferences with such students before they begin training elsewhere.
Special Students.—(a) Graduates of colleges and universities other than
the University of Virginia, desiring to secure the necessary professional training
to qualify for the Collegiate Professional Certificate, may register in the
Department of Education and upon completion of the required professional
Certificate issued by the State Department of Education.
(b) Men may be admitted as special students without fulfilling the entrance
requirements above specified, provided that, if they are Virginians,
they are more than twenty years old or, if they are not Virginians, they are
more than twenty-three years old, on the day of registration, and give adequate
evidence of serious purpose and of the training needed to pursue with
profit the courses for which they are registered. No special student may be
a candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged
to make up deficiencies by private study or by taking courses in the Summer
Quarter. They will then be admitted as regular students, and may be
accepted as applicants for degrees, provided all entrance requirements are
met at least one academic year before the date of graduation.
An applicant who has regularly attended a secondary school until he is
twenty years of age without, because of failure, obtaining credit for 15 acceptable
entrance units, will not be accepted as a special student.
(c) Women, twenty-five years of age, giving satisfactory evidence that
they are qualified to pursue courses in Education successfully, may be admitted
as special students, even though they fail to show credit for the 30
session-hours of academic work required of women for admission to regular
standing.
Advanced Standing is given to any candidate who, in addition to meeting
the minimum requirements for entrance above stated, can show by passing
an examination given sometime during the first month of his first session
that he has done work equivalent to that covered by any of the following
courses offered in the college: Latin A1, Greek A1, Greek A2, English A1
or A2, Mathematics A1, German A1, French A1, Spanish A1, Italian A1.
Candidates who apply for examination for advanced standing must present
a special certificate showing that the full content of the course, on which
advanced standing is sought, has been covered in a systematic manner in the
preparatory school, and in addition must present the specific recommendation
of the principal of the school that the candidate be admitted to the
advanced standing examination in question.
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 department 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 and content 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 not less than 12 session-hours of work during his first session.
In no case will credit be given on more than 45 session-hours of work done
elsewhere, and any candidate who receives this maximum amount of credit
can count among the remaining 15 session-hours required for his degree
only the credit value of the courses he has passed as a resident student in
the College of Arts and Sciences, exclusive of any credit for work done in
the Summer Quarter or in any of the professional departments. In every
be a regular session of nine months, exclusively in college work in this University;
and the courses offered as Major Electives must all have been completed
in residence in this University. A maximum of 15 session-hours may
be granted for one year of college work, and 33 hours for two years.
In general, credit will not be granted for work completed elsewhere with
the lowest passing grade, if the grades are given as letters, or with a grade
below 75 per cent., if the grades are given as percentages.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance must offer 15 units as
defined by the Southern Commission on Accredited Schools. At least 13 of
the units offered must be included in the list of units accepted for admission
on page 158. A student who, while able to offer 15 units, cannot offer 15
units as defined in this list, may be conditioned on any 2 units not including
English A, B, or C, or Mathematics A1. All conditions should be absolved
before the beginning of the session following initial registration. This may
be done by passing entrance examinations or by passing equivalent courses
in the Summer Quarter. But no course taken to remove a condition may
be counted as part of the work credited toward a degree. No conditioned
student may be awarded a degree until his entrance conditions are absolved,
nor may he be later registered as a special student.
GRADUATE WORK IN EDUCATION
Graduate work in Education leading to the degrees of Master of Arts,
Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy may be pursued in the Department
of Graduate Studies. Graduate students who choose Education as
their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must meet the entrance
requirements of the Department of Graduate Studies, and, in addition, must
pass, at least two terms prior to receiving the degree, preliminary written
examinations in each of the following fields: History of Education, Educational
Psychology, Educational Administration, Secondary Education, and
Educational Sociology. The candidate must also pass a final oral examination
upon his dissertation and the general fields of his major and minor
subjects.

during a session with an average of at least 85 per cent., and with no
session grade less than 75 per cent., will be placed on the Dean's List, and
will remain on the List as long as he receives an average of at least 85 per
cent., on at least 15 session-hours per term and receives no term grade less
than 75 per cent. in any course. Any student on the Dean's List failing to
List. A student once dropped from the List can again make the Dean's

CURRICULUM SUGGESTIONS
All students should complete during the first two years credits as follows:
| Session-hours | |
| English | 6 |
| Mathematics | 3 |
| Science | 6 |
| Foreign Language | 6 |
| General Psychology | 3 |
| Electives | 6 |
During the third year students should continue courses in their Major
Elective group and take Education B2 (Educational Psychology), Education
B7 (Principles of Secondary Education), and Education B11 (a) (Special
Methods in High School Subjects).
During the fourth, or senior year, a student's program will consist
primarily of courses in the major academic group and Education B11 (b)
(Directed Teaching). Students may meet the requirements of the West
Law by taking Education B12 (School Hygiene and Sanitation) during any
session, but it is recommended that the work be taken during the third or
fourth year.
TRAINING OF ELEMENTARY SUPERVISORS
Students preparing for elementary school supervision must have (1) previous
training equivalent to that required for the Virginia Normal Professional
Certificate, and (2) at least two years of successful teaching experience
in elementary schools attested by letters of recommendation from division
superintendents of schools under whom the teaching was done.
It is a general requirement in connection with Education B4 that students
shall be present for the opening of the schools in Albemarle County for
the purpose of studying the problems of school organization. The schools
usually open during the first week in September.
COLLEGIATE PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE
Recipients of the Bachelor of Science in Education will receive the Collegiate
Professional Certificate, the highest form of certificate for high school
teachers issued by the State Board of Education. This certificate is valid for
ten years, renewable for a similar period, and entitles the holder to teach in
both high and elementary schools in Virginia.
Holders of Collegiate Certificates, the certificates of second rank issued
by the State Board of Education, may obtain the Collegiate Professional
Certificate by attending the University one session and taking four 3 session-hour
courses in Education.
Curricula organized to meet the requirements for the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Education fulfill both academic and professional requirements
for the highest grade of professional high school certificates issued without
examination by the various state departments of Education to holders of
baccalaureate degrees. The graduate courses in Education are recognized
in states requiring graduate study for professional certificates.
TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES
A resolution of the State Board of Education provides that on and after
September 1, 1929, the minimum qualifications for those persons beginning
to teach in an accredited high school shall be a baccalaureate degree from a
standard four-year college.
In accordance with the above regulations it will not be necessary after
September 1, 1929, to issue to incoming teachers the Special or Junior College
Certificate. The new requirement for high school teachers will not be
retroactive.
SUGGESTED TEACHING COMBINATIONS FOR SECONDARY
TEACHERS
The State Board of Education has revised the program of studies for the
high schools of the State and has prepared a suggested plan for the assignment
of subjects to teachers. The subject combinations recommended for
which training is offered at the University of Virginia are as follows:
1. English and Foreign Language. (Latin or French.)
2. Mathematics and Science.
3. History and one of the following:
English, Language, Mathematics, and Science.
4. Physical Education.
It is generally recognized that the success of the revised high school program,
especially that phase of it which has to do with the assignment of
of instructors trained to teach the combinations of subjects as provided for
above. Students are directed in the choice of courses during their period of
training to insure their meeting the requirements for at least one of the teaching
combinations.
COURSES FOR TEACHERS IN SERVICE
Saturday courses in any subject offered in the Department of Education
will be arranged at the University for teachers in service, if requested by at
least five teachers. Degree credit will be allowed on the same basis as in the
regular courses, provided that not more than 1½ session-hours' credit shall
be given for the work in any course for one year.
Superintendents and Teachers of Public Schools Exempt from Fees.—
White male teachers and superintendents of the public schools of Virginia
will be admitted, during the last three months of the session, to the Academic
Schools of the University without payment of fees (except those charged
in laboratory courses), upon presentation of certificates that they have been
teachers in the public schools of the State during the year. Applicants for
admission as teachers are required to send their names to the President of
the University not later than March 5.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD
OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
Facilities for observation and directed teaching and for practical educational
research are made available through the coöperation with the University
of the school systems of the City of Charlottesville and the County of
Albemarle.
The Coöperative Teacher-Training Program entered into between the
School Board of the City of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia
provides for the employment of critic teachers in the following subjects:
English, Latin, Mathematics, Natural Science and Social Science.
The agreement as adopted includes the following regulations:
1. The critic teachers shall be chosen by the University with the approval
of the superintendent of schools, it being recognized that no person

teacher, the principal of the high school and the superintendent of schools
may deem advisable for the improvement of the school. Proposals for all
such experimental studies shall originate with the Department of Education
in the University of Virginia.
3. The salaries of the critic teachers shall be paid as follows:
A. The City School Board shall pay the pro rata amount for the two
regular classes taught that would be paid to any high school teacher for
doing the same work according to the fixed salary schedule in effect from
time to time.
B. The remainder of the salary shall be paid by the University.
4. The critic teacher may teach a special methods course in the subject-matter
field of his assignment, this work to be done at the University.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE ALBEMARLE
COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND THE UNIVERSITY OF
VIRGINIA
The Coöperative Program entered into between the School Board of
the County of Albemarle and the University of Virginia provides facilities
for observation and practice in the high schools of the County for the training
of high school teachers and principals under a director of high school
supervision; and laboratory training for rural supervisors in the elementary
schools of the County under two assistant professors of rural supervision.
Provision is also made for the training of division superintendents of schools
under the direction of Superintendent A. L. Bennett.
CRITIC TEACHERS AND DEPARTMENTAL SUPERVISORS
The duties of the critic teachers and departmental supervisors in the
County high schools are as follows:
1. To act as general departmental supervisor in the subject-matter field
of his assignment.
2. To teach two regular classes in the high school of which he is a member
of the teaching staff, such as shall be assigned by the Director of Supervision
acting in agreement with the principal of the high school and division
superintendent of schools.
3. To serve as critic teacher for the direction of the teaching of such
student teachers as are assigned to him by the Director of Supervision.

the Professor of Secondary Education.
7. To recommend to the principal pupil-assignment to studies in his
departmental field.
DUTIES OF THE RURAL SUPERVISORS
The coöperative program between the University and the County of
Albemarle made possible the employment of two superior rural supervisors,
bringing the supervisory staff for elementary schools to five. These two
supervisors, in addition to supervising all elementary schools in the districts
assigned to them, direct the training of rural supervisors.
In order that there may be adequate opportunity for experimentation in
one-room schools two schools within easy reach of the University have been
chosen for special study and demonstration by the rural supervisors. It is
hoped that the record of achievement in these two schools may serve as an
example and stimulus, not only to the schools of the county, but of a much
wider area.
SECONDARY EDUCATION IN VIRGINIA
The Department of Education publishes under the editorship of Dr. W.
R. Smithey, Professor of Secondary Education, a high school quarterly called
Secondary Education in Virginia, devoted to the encouragement of research
in Virginia secondary school problems for both public and private schools
and to the reporting of research through its columns. This publication is
the official organ of the Department of Education, and addressed primarily
to the solution of problems of secondary education in Virginia and its columns
are open to all workers in this field. It aims to encourage educational research
in secondary education.
THE SUMMER QUARTER
The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year. Courses
in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as in 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. 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 of credit which
may be taken in one Summer Quarter is 6 session-hours.
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
grades. In every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer
Quarters or an equivalent time 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 and
the Summer Quarter.
On account of the increasing demand for graduate work in the Summer
Quarter, the number of graduate courses will be enlarged in 1930.
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.
First Term begins June 16th and ends July 26th. Second Term begins
July 28th and ends August 29th.
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, August 29th, at 8 o'clock, when the
degrees will be conferred.
Catalogue and further information may be obtained by addressing Secretary
Summer Quarter, Box 149, University, Virginia.
BUREAU OF TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS
Educational Tests.—The Department of Education maintains a Bureau
of Tests and Measurements as a feature of its extra-University service.
Select standard tests in school subjects will be supplied to cities, counties and
individual schools at cost. Members of the Faculty of Education will visit
the schools to be tested, train teachers in the use of the tests and personally
direct the giving and scoring of them, provided the necessary traveling expenses
are borne by the schools served.
Mental Tests.—In connection with its work in educational psychology,
the Department undertakes to assist school authorities in the diagnosis and
training of backward and gifted children. Assistance will be rendered in
the making of mental surveys and the establishment of special classes. A
clinic will be maintained for the study of cases accessible to the University
and the services of the professor in charge will be available to any community
in Virginia at the cost of the necessary test materials and traveling
expenses.
Any school official desiring the services of the Bureau of Tests and
Measurements should address the Dean of the Department of Education.
BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS
The University of Virginia maintains a Bureau of Appointments in
charge of a committee consisting of Professors Manahan, Windes, Smithey,
Metcalf and Lewis. The services of the bureau are free to all teachers and
prospective teachers seeking positions in secondary schools (both public and
private), normal schools, and colleges. Correspondence with regard to
Jarman, Secretary, Room D, Peabody Hall, University, Virginia.
PHI DELTA KAPPA FRATERNITY
A chapter of the national honorary educational fraternity of Phi Delta
Kappa has been organized in connection with the Department of Education.
Under the constitution of the fraternity, only those students are eligible to
membership who expect to make teaching or administration of schools a
permanent vocation, and who give evidence of superior qualities of character,
scholarship and initiative. The standards of scholarship governing election
to membership in the fraternity are similar to those prescribed for election
to Phi Beta Kappa.
The purpose of the fraternity as stated in its constitution is "to develop
among the students of Education at the University of Virginia the spirit of
`Research, Service and Leadership,' " and to endeavor by every worthy means
at its command to create and foster fellowship and true fraternalism among
the members of the society.
EDUCATION CLUB
An Education Club is conducted for the purpose of fostering a scientific
study of educational problems. Membership is open to all students taking
courses in Education, teachers, principals and superintendents now in service,
and members of the faculty of the University who are willing to lend their
influence and efforts toward placing the teaching profession in Virginia
and the South on a professional basis.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships in the Department of Education:
thirty scholarships annually, twenty each with a value of $200, and ten
each with a value of $100. Founded in 1918 by action of the General Assembly
of Virginia. The holder must be a Virginian in need of financial assistance
in order to attend the University; and he must pledge himself to
teach or engage in some other form of public school work in Virginia for
at least two years, or, failing this, to repay to the University the full value
of the scholarship. Blank forms of application may be had upon request to
Dean John L. Manahan, Chairman of the Committee on State Teachers'
Scholarships. Appointments prior to September 1 of each year are made
upon the recommendation of division superintendents. Any scholarships unassigned
on September 1 are open to applicants from the State at large.
In addition to the Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships, there are a number
of other scholarships in the University available for students of Education.
A detailed description of them is given in the General Catalogue of
the University.
LOAN FUNDS AND STUDENT SELF-HELP
The University is in possession of funds from which loans are made to
deserving students in need of such assistance. An account of these loans
addressed to the Bursar.
Opportunities for obtaining remunerative employment are afforded to
students who are desirous by this means of partially paying their way through
the University. It is difficult to give definite assurance of employment to a
student before he reaches the University, but it may be stated that any student
with sufficient resources to carry him through the first half of the session
can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which will help defray his
expenses for the rest of the academic year. Information as to employment
may be obtained from the Secretary of the Committee on Student Help,
Madison Hall, University, Virginia.
EXPENSES
The necessary expenses of a Virginia student in the Department of Education
may be estimated at from $410 a year upward, according to the mode of
living; for students from other states, $585 and upward. A fuller statement of
expenses will be found on page 168.

HISTORY
The movement to endow a Chair of Nursing at the University of Virginia—the
first step in the foundation of the School—was launched in the
spring of 1923 by the Graduate Nurses' Association of Virginia. Through
the zealous and praiseworthy efforts of this group of women, the sum of
$50,000.00 was raised and presented to the University. The Chair of Nursing
Education was named in honor of Sadie Heath Cabaniss, Virginia's outstanding
pioneer nurse.
In April, 1928, the first Cabaniss Memorial Professor of Nursing Education
was appointed. The School was then placed under the Department of
Education and organization begun.
Beginning with the academic year of 1928-29, the Cabaniss Memorial
School of Nursing Education has offered courses of university grade for
graduate nurses.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the School is to give further preparation to well qualified
nurses who desire to better fit themselves as supervisors, administrators or
teachers in hospital schools for undergraduate students. There is a very
urgent need for more and better-prepared women to fill the hospital positions,
not only in Virginia but over the entire country. And the demand for nurses
who have prepared themselves by special study for these executive and teaching
positions is far in excess of the supply.
In addition to affording opportunities for study and training to the individual
student, the School of Nursing Education, as part of the State
University, offers its services to nursing school authorities throughout Virginia,
with a desire to coöperate in the solution of practical problems and in
the furtherance of nursing education in the State.
GENERAL STATEMENT
Professional programs are arranged for three groups as follows:
1. Teachers in Schools of Nursing.
2. Supervisors and Head Nurses in Schools of Nursing.
3. Administrators in Schools of Nursing.
The courses are planned on a three-year basis leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education. Applicants meeting all entrance
requirements may secure the maximum credit of a year's work for their
course in an approved school of nursing.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
To be admitted to regular standing in the School of Nursing Education,
applicants must be registered nurses, graduates of schools of nursing of approved
standards and in addition must meet the regular entrance requirements
of the University by certificate from an accredited high school or private
secondary school, giving the equivalent of four years of satisfactory high
school work, or by examination.
Furthermore, at least one year of graduate experience in some educational
or executive work in schools of nursing is highly desirable for all
prospective students.
For admission by certificate, the applicant should file with the School
not later than September 1, a Certificate of Preparation made out on a blank
form furnished upon request. And a special blank giving applicant's professional
training and experience will be required of all students.
All women students must first register at the office of the Dean of Women,
20 East Lawn.
Special Students.—A limited number of graduate nurses of more mature
age whose general education has not included a complete high school course
may be admitted as special students. But they must present evidence of
satisfactory professional and personal qualifications and ability to pursue the
courses in Nursing Education successfully. No special student may be a
candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged to
make up deficiencies by private study or by taking courses in the Summer
Quarter. They will then be admitted as regular students, and may be accepted
as applicants for the degree, provided all entrance requirements are
met at least one academic year before the date of graduation.
College Credit.—A maximum of 15 session-hours may be granted for one
year of college work and 33 hours for two years. In no case will credit be
given on more than 33 session-hours of work done in another college, and any
student who receives this maximum amount of credit must take the remaining
of nine months in this University.

Laboratory facilities for observation and practice teaching are made available
through the close proximity and coöperation of the University of Virginia
Hospital School of Nursing. Students of the School of Nursing Education
will do observation and directed teaching under the supervision of a
member of the University faculty.
It is likewise planned that a limited amount of field work in supervision
will be made available for those wishing to specialize in this branch of
nursing.
By these arrangements between the University and the Hospital a very
close coöperation is made possible which should result in mutual benefit to
the School of Nursing Education and the Hospital School of Nursing.
SCHOLARSHIPS
There are a number of scholarships in the University, some of which
may be made available for students of Nursing Education. A detailed description
of them is given in the General Catalogue of the University.
