The University of Virginia record :: March 1, 1919 :: University of Virginia Library

Conditions for the Accrediting of Schools.—A school desiring to be
placed on the accredited list of the University should apply to the Chairman
of the Committee on Accredited Schools. In response to the application,
a blank form inquiring into the course of study, faculty, etc., of
the school will be sent to the principal. Upon the return of this blank,
properly filled out, a representative of the University will be sent to inspect
the school, and to report on such matters as the quality of instruction,
the general intellectual and moral tone of the school, and the efficiency
of the equipment, especially library and laboratory facilities. If
his report is favorable and the Committee concurs, the school will be accepted
and the principal duly notified. The name of the school will be
entered upon the list of accredited schools and published in the catalogue
of the University.

Each school must meet the following requirements:

(1) A course of study covering not less than four years of high-school
work, based on at least seven years of competent elementary instruction,
and embracing at least sixteen units. These sixteen units must include
English A, B, C, Mathematics A1, A2, B, and one unit of History. Those
schools that wish to prepare students for the study of Latin in the University
must offer instruction in this subject to the extent of four units.

(2) A teaching force of not less than three teachers, each of whom
devotes his entire time to high-school instruction, and conducts not more
than seven recitation periods a day. The University will scrutinize with
extreme care any school in which any instructor teaches more than six
periods a day. All teachers should possess college training, and preference
will be given to those schools in which the teachers are college
graduates.

of such schools will be credited with the thirteen approved units
and will be given examinations upon the other two units required for
entrance.
