ANNOUNCEMENTS
The University of Virginia Summer School is conducted for teachers
and students in high schools, academies and colleges and for those
who desire professional training for primary and grammar grade
work. It also offers many courses for college credit, and others to
meet the needs of students preparing for college entrance or who
have conditions to absolve. It takes as its peculiar province, not the
ordinary summer institute, but the solid and substantial training of
high school teachers, college teachers, college students, and teachers
who either have professional or life certificates or wish to procure
them. Because the courses of instruction in high schools are not
clearly defined but merge into the grammar grades below and into
the lower college classes above, the high school offers itself as a
strategic center around which to build up instruction, the emphasis of
which is upon subject matter. The justification of such a summer
school for high school teachers is the unusual activity in the South
just now in behalf of secondary education. The large number of high
school and college teachers attending the Summer School each year
is an additional proof of the need of such a school. In addition to
courses for high school teachers, the demand for courses for primary
and grammar grade teachers is fully met.
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
of railway, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Southern, and is thus
of 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. Summer rates
are given by the railroads to this point. There are three golf links,
a well-conducted country club and many other attractions for summer
visitors.
LABORATORIES AND MUSEUMS.—The equipment possessed by
the University for the work of instruction, alike in academic and in the
professional departments, has been much augmented in recent years,
and is now excellent in quality, as well as extensive. In scientific
studies large facilities are offered by the Rouss Physical Laboratory,
the Chemical Laboratory and the Museum of Industrial Chemistry,
the Lewis Brooks Museum, the Biological Laboratory, and the large
new Education Building with laboratories for Manual Arts and Domestic
Arts.
THE GENERAL LIBRARY.—The General Library is open to
the corps of instructors and the students of the Summer School from
9 a. m. to 1:30 p. m., 3 to 5, and from 7:30 to 10 p. m. The collection
contains about seventy thousand volumes, including the standard
books of history, literature, and science, and is particularly rich
in materials for the study of education and other social subjects. The
sources of information.
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.
Volumes in the reference collection are not available to borrowers
but may be freely consulted in the library, and works in current
general use in connection with any course of instruction will be
temporarily placed on reference and made subject to this rule. All
bound magazines are classed as reference books.
REST AND STUDY ROOMS.—Madison Hall, the beautiful new
building of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was recently
erected at a cost of seventy-five thousand dollars, will be open to
students of the Summer School from nine o'clock in the morning
until ten at night. Students will have access to the current periodicals
in the reading room during the day and until ten at night. The
other rooms will be used for rest, for study, for recreation, and for
social gatherings. North of the building there are nineteen tennis
courts which will be equipped for the use of the students.
DAILY GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Daily from 11:30 to 12:15 there
will be a period in which the students may have the privilege of attending
a gathering of the entire body. At this time there will be short
addresses on interesting topics by prominent speakers invited for
this purpose, and a brief prayer and song service. Generally the
singing will be choral, under the direction of the instructor of music,
but occasionally, as opportunity offers, prominent soloists will be
procured.
SUNDAY VESPER SERVICES.—Experience has shown that no
Sunday service held here during the summer has been more attractive or
more appreciated than what has sometimes been called the Sunset
Service. Holding this service at this hour enables all the faculty
and the students of the summer school to unite in one common service
without at all interfering with their attending the churches of their
choice in the city. The service, which will always be kept within one
hour, will begin at seven o'clock. It will consist of congregational
singing and a brief address by some prominent minister or layman.
The pipe organ used when held in the chapel is the work of one of
the best organ makers in the country, and is admirably adapted, both
in size and tone, for church purposes. When the weather permits
the service is held out of doors on the north steps of the Rotunda.
RECREATION.—Provision has been made to keep the Fayerweather
Gymnasium open for regularly registered students during the summer,
under the control of a competent gymnasium director. No fee
will be charged for the use of the gymnasium, and it is hoped that
every student will come prepared to take advantage of the physical
training courses. A portion of each day set apart to systematic
physical development will be profitably spent. The swimming pool
and baths will be at the service of the students. The tennis courts
belonging to Madison Hall will also be kept in readiness, duly
marked and with nets in place. The splendid athletic field, one of the
finest in the South, with baseball ground and quarter mile running
manly sports. Within three minutes' walk from the Academic Building,
the woods may be reached. These woods and the neighboring
mountains furnish ample opportunity for pleasant strolls or for
longer tramps on the part of those more vigorous. One of these
walks leads to Fry's Spring, a most efficacious chalybeate spring,
which may also be reached by street car.
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 to
either exceptionally interesting. Saturdays will be reserved for these
excursions. 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.
A party will be organized for the Panama Exposition to
leave about August 6.
ORGAN RECITALS, ENTERTAINMENTS, AND LECTURES.
—The pipe organ in Cabell Hall is one of the best products of one of the
largest organ manufacturers in America. It is an antiphonal organ
with fifteen hundred pipes, and exhibits all the possibilities of organ
manufacture. To bring out these possibilities requires a master organist,
and it is the purpose of the management of the Summer
School to procure distinguished organists for the recitals.
A Musical Festival and other entertainments will be announced
during the session of the Summer School. The Coburn Players will
present three plays: The Yellow Jacket, an Imaginary Sick Man,
and Macbeth. The Clifford B. Devereux Company will give three
plays: She Stoops to Conquer, As You Like It, and a Modern
Drama. The Ernest Gamble Concert Party will give one recital;
Jennie Dufau, one recital; and negotiations are pending for a number
of other high class attractions. The whole course includes about
twenty numbers and the price of a season ticket is $2.50 making the
cost about the same as moving pictures. Besides there will be moving
pictures regularly in Peabody Hall.
RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 5 and 10 will be
devoted to the study of rural life problems in general, and the rural
church in particular. A special effort will be made to secure a large
attendance of country ministers and laymen, and distinguished speakers
from all sections of the United States will participate in the
Conferences.
FOURTH OF JULY PAGEANT.—Each year an elaborate pageant
is given in connection with the Fourth of July Celebration. An extensive
celebration will be a feature this year.
REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.—All students coming to the Summer
School from points within the territory covered by the Southeastern
Passenger Association, i. e. the territory lying south of the Potomac
and east of the Mississippi, should apply some time in advance to the
local agent for reduced rates which have been granted by the Southern
Passenger Association on a basis of approximately three cents
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28, with privilege of extension of final
limit to September 30.
In Virginia reduced rate tickets will be on sale at all railroad stations.
Announcements of dates will be made later by the Department
of Public Instruction. Application has been made to have them
correspond with the above.
A committee will meet all incoming trains night and day, from
June 21st to July 1st, to assist teachers in finding boarding places,
to attend to baggage and to render any other service needed. On
arriving teachers should inquire at the station for members of the
committee who will wear suitable badges. A committee of ladies
from the Y. W. C. A. will assist in welcoming teachers attending
for the first time.
Teachers arriving at Charlottesville from points on the C. and O.
are advised to have their baggage checked to Union Station, Charlottesville.
This will save a great deal of time in having trunks delivered
to destination. Teachers are advised to hand their baggage
checks to the committee. If handed to others a receipt should be
taken.
Teachers arriving before 6 a. m. and later than 10:30 p. m. will
be met, provided they notify the Director. Only trains from 7 a.
m. to 10 p. m. are met, unless notified to the contrary.
A YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION CLUB,
open to every woman in the Summer School, is organized for the purpose
of promoting a pleasant social atmosphere, giving an opportunity for social
service and religious development, and for the study of methods
in club work and church work. The activities include "stunt parties,"
camp breakfasts, Camp Fire Girls demonstrations, weekly meetings
on religious and social questions and special lectures on rural
life questions. A secretary devotes her entire time to the work and
has charge of the club headquarters at Madison Hall.
THE SUMMER SCHOOL NEWS is a college newspaper, edited and
managed by students of the University and of the Summer School. 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. Four monthly issues, beginning with
February, will be printed and circulated in addition to the twelve
regular numbers. The subscription price for the whole sixteen issues
is the moderate sum of twenty-five cents. Subscriptions should
be sent to the Business Manager, Summer School News, University,
Virginia.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices ranging
from $4 per week, where several stay in the same room, upward,
according to accommodations and proximity to the University, the
average being $4.50 to $5.50 per week. Many of the boarding houses
immediately adjoin the University grounds.
One hundred single rooms and one hundred and twenty-five double
rooms in the University dormitories will be reserved in the order
of application upon the following terms: The price will be $5.00
for the full term of six weeks for a single room, and $8.00 for a
room which will accommodate two. No reduction will be made for
parts of a term. Applications for rooms must be accompanied with
the full amount of the fee in order to have them reserved. The
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 School. Rooms that are reserved will not be held later
than July 1st. No room will be open for occupancy before June
21st. Each room is lighted by electricity, has stationary wash stand
and running water and will contain one bed, one mattress, one pillow,
one chiffonier, one table, one rocking chair, one straight chair.
Double rooms will be furnished with two single beds complete, unless
a double bed is especially desired; one chiffonier, except where
there are more than two in room; one rocking chair or one morris
chair and two single chairs. Wash stands and toilet sets will be
provided where necessary. Roomers must provide themselves with
necessary bed clothes, towels, etc. The Randall Building, East and
West Lawns and East and West Ranges will be reserved exclusively
for ladies and will be under the charge of Mrs. M. P. Harris,
an experienced matron and chaperone. Some members of the faculty
will be located in each set of dormitories. No cooking allowed in
rooms. The rooms on Dawson's Row will be reserved for men.
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.
The University Commons, the handsome new dining hall, will be
open for summer students and will provide table board for three
hundred and fifty persons at the very low price of $4.00 a week,
$16.50 a month or $25.00 for the session of forty-six days. The University
Commons will be managed this year by Mr. Charles Jaimes,
a caterer and restaurateur of wide experience. A Restaurant a la
Carte and lunch counter will be run in connection with the Commons,
open from 9:30 A. M. to 11 P. M.
Application for dormitory rooms should be sent promptly, with
retaining fee. For list of boarding houses, rates, etc., see page 73.
FEES FOR NON-VIRGINIA STUDENTS.—A single registration
fee of twelve dollars will be charged each teacher 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 allowed to
take more than three advanced courses or six elementary courses
without special permission in writing from the Director.
FEES FOR VIRGINIA TEACHERS.—Tuition will be entirely free
to all Virginia teachers in all the regular courses, both elementary and advanced,
leading to the professional and first grade certificates. To
meet local expenses the State Board of Education has fixed a registration
fee of $1.00 for a four weeks' term and $1.50 for a six
weeks' term for all of the Summer Schools of the State, and these
fees will be charged here. There are a few special courses offered
to meet certain demands but not necessary for certificate credit, 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 or preparing to teach
next session will be charged the same tuition as non-Virginia students.
Teachers whose residence is in Virginia but who are teaching
outside of Virginia will be charged the same fee as non-Virginians.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives demands for teachers each year. This committee would be
glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance upon the
Summer School leave their applications with the Director, who is a
member of the committee.
TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.—
Recitations will begin in all courses Wednesday, June 23, at 8:30 a. m.
Students should present themselves at the first meeting of their classes
with the required text-books and be prepared with tablets to take
notes on introductory lectures. There will be no classes on Saturday
except possibly on Saturday, June 26th, when classes will meet
at the usual hours. The length of recitation will be one hour, ten
minutes of which will be allowed for transfer from one room to
another. Tuesday, August 3rd, Wednesday and Thursday, August
4th and 5th, will be used for examinations; the determination being
to provide for six full weeks of recitation over and above registration
and examination days.
Following the outline of each course in this announcement will be
found the time and place of meeting for each class. The courses outlined
will be given as scheduled. Students should therefore follow
the schedule in selecting courses that will not conflict. It is well for
the student to select such courses from this catalogue before the
opening of the Summer School, so that little delay may be experienced
in registration. The Summer School lecture rooms are for the
most part restricted to six buildings—Peabody Hall, Cabell Hall,
Rouss Physical Laboratory, Mechanical Laboratory, Rotunda, and
the Law Building.
REGISTRATION.—Tuesday, June 22nd, will be devoted to the registration
of students. All students who can possibly do so should register
on this day. Those who fail to register before June 23rd will
be permitted to attend classes and register as promptly as possible
at other hours. The Registrar's office, located in Peabody Hall
will be open continuously June 22nd, 23rd, and 24th from 8:30
a. m. until 6:30 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 Wednesday,
June 30th, except a certificate of attendance. Students preparing
to stand the examination for teachers' certificates held at this place
by the State Department of Public Instruction, July 21st, 22nd, and
23rd, must enter twenty days prior to July 21st.
Promptly at 9:30 Tuesday morning, June 22nd, all applicants for
registration will assemble in the auditorium of Peabody Hall for
instructions in regard to filling out their cards, the location of
lecture rooms, and for consultation with members of the faculty in
regard to the courses of study they desire to pursue, or any other
matters upon which information is desired.
No student will be admitted to any course without a registration
card naming the course in question and properly signed by the Registrar
and the Bursar.
In registering, students must state upon the registration card
what credit, if any, is desired, as arrangements for credit must be
made before taking the courses. No course may be counted toward
a certificate without the consent of the Director or Registrar, and
instructors will not admit students to any course not mentioned on
their registration card, which must be signed by the Registrar and
the Bursar to be valid.
IMPORTANT NOTE.—Every teacher who is applying for a Virginia
State Teachers' Summer School Professional Certificate of any kind
should bring with her and before registering have whatever certificate
she holds and which she desires to use as a basis of entrance on such
professional work, approved by a representative of the Department
of Public Instruction who will be present for that purpose.
NON-VIRGINIA TEACHERS.—The regulations in regard to teachers'
certificates and the requirements for entrance to certain courses in the
Summer School do not apply to teachers from other states than
Virginia unless they desire to apply for a Virginia teachers' certificate.
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 boarding place or
the number and location of his room in the University.
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 Director the general average grade of each student in each course.
Absences or delayed entrance will be counted against the student.
A certificate for each course completed with an average grade of 75
per cent will be signed by the instructor and the Director of the
Summer School, and mailed to the student. At the close of each
session every teacher who expects to apply for a Virginia Summer
School Professional Certificate should fill out and file with the Director
one of the application blanks (Form S. S. 7-10) furnished
by the Department of Public Instruction. When all of the courses
required for any certificate are completed, the Department will issue
the certificate and mail it to the applicant direct. In no case should
the certificates given by the Summer School be sent to the Department.
Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application has
been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Department of Public Instruction. Credits are now
allowed toward the extension of the certificates by certain other
States. All persons wishing to arrange for credits with their respective
school authorities should correspond with the Director of the
Summer School.
