 | University of Virginia record March, 1912 |  |
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The University of Virginia Summer School is conducted primarily
for teachers and students in high schools, academies and colleges and
for those who desire professional training for primary and grammar
grade work. 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 and 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 last year is an additional
proof of the need of such a school. There were 1,350 regularly
registered students in the session of 1911 besides a large number of
visitors.
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. One mile from the University is an excellent iron
spring connected with the Jefferson Park Hotel, a much frequented
resort.
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.
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
reference section is well supplied with encyclopædias and other
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.
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 Chapel 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. This 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 in this service 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.
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,
who will give daily systematic instruction in physical culture. No
fee will be charged for these courses nor 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 base-ball ground
and quarter mile running track, will be at the disposal of those who
wish to engage in the 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
Cavern; 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 (three hours
ride to each) should make a visit to either exceptionally interesting.
Saturdays will be reserved for these excursions. On all 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.
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.
RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 15th and July
20th will be devoted to the study of problems of rural life in general,
and rural school problems in particular. The discussions will center
around the large topics of better educational facilities for rural communities;
better means of communication; improved methods of cooperation;
the improvement of sanitary conditions; good roads; etc.
Especial emphasis is to be placed on woman's work in the country,
and the country preacher. Distinguished speakers from all sections
of the United States will participate in these conferences.
There has been no more helpful, interesting, and vital enterprise
connected with the Summer School than this conference. It is of
interest not only to the students attending the Summer School, but
to county superintendents, progressive farmers, and citizens' improvement
leagues. The proceedings of the Conference for last year
were published and distributed and there was a wide-spread demand
for copies. Many similar conferences have been organized as the result
of this one.
SUPERINTENDENTS' CONFERENCE.—Beginning June 24th
and ending July 6th, there will be held a conference for county and
city superintendents. This will be more of a school than a conference
because regularly organized work will be offered and a full
course of instruction in school administration and its related problems
will be provided. Besides regular members of the Summer
School faculty, a number of the most successful superintendents of
the country will be secured as instructors in this course. Among
others, Miss Jessie Field, superintendent of schools, of Page County,
Iowa, will spend a week telling of her methods of work.
A detailed program will be mailed later to any superintendent who
will write for it.
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.
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
advance to the local agent for reduced rates. At a meeting of the
Conference Committee of the Southeastern Passenger Association,
the individual lines announced that they would authorize fares for
the University Summer School on a basis of approximately three
cents a mile plus 25 for the round trip. In case the agent has received
no instructions for selling reduced rate tickets to Charlottesville,
Virginia, the applicant should write promptly to the Director
of the Summer School. Reduced rate tickets can be bought only on
one of the following dates. June 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 24th and 25th,
and July 2nd and 3rd.
The Southern Railway Company, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, and
all railways within this territory will co-operate in the sale of these
reduced rate tickets. Application has also been made to the Trans-Continental
Passenger Association for similar rates, from the territory
west of the Mississippi, and teachers coming from the western
states should write to the Director of the Summer School for
instructions. In Virginia reduced rate tickets will be on sale at all
railroad stations.
Announcement of dates will be made later by the Department of
Public Instruction. Application has been made to have them correspond
with the above.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $4.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations and proximity to the University,
the average being $4.50 to $5.00 per week. Many of the
boarding houses immediately adjoin the University grounds.
One hundred and seventy-five single rooms and fifty double rooms
in the University dormitories will be reserved in the order of application
upon the following terms: The price will be $4.50 for the
full term of six weeks for a single room, and $7.00 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 amount of
the fee 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
School. Rooms that are reserved will not be held later than July
1st. No room will be open for occupancy before June 18th. Each
room is lighted by electricity and will contain one bed, one mattress,
one pillow, one chiffonier, one table, one rocking chair, one straight
chair. 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 an experienced matron and chaperone. Some member
of the faculty will be located in each set of dormitories. 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 $3.50 week. Those
occupying the dormitories are expected to take their meals at the
Commons.
Application for dormitory rooms should be sent promptly, with
retaining fee, to Mr. P. M. Chichester, University, Virginia.
For list of boarding houses, rates, see page 59.
TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.—
Recitations will begin in all courses Thursday, June 20th, 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 unless arranged for by individual instructors, except possibly
on Saturday, July 6th, when classes will meet at the usual hour.
The length of recitation will be one hour, ten minutes of which will
be allowed for transfer from one room to another. Wednesday, July
31, Thursday and Friday, August 1st and 2nd, 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 five buildings—Cabell Hall, Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Mechanical Laboratory, Rotunda and the Law Building.
REGISTRATION.—Wednesday, June 19th, 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 20th
will be permitted to attend classes and register as promptly as possible
at other hours until June 24th. The Registrar's office, located
in the southeast rooms of the Rotunda, will be open continuously
June 19th, 20th, and 21st, 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 26th, 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 1st and August 1st and 2nd, may enter at
any time during the session.
Promptly at 9:30 Wednesday morning, June 19th, all applicants
for registration will assemble in Cabell 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.
The form of registration will be as follows: Each student upon
application will receive a card with space for name and address, and
for courses to be taken. This card should be presented to the Registrar,
after it has been filled out, for purposes of filing. In exchange
for it the student will receive two cards filled out and signed by the
Registrar. These cards should then be presented to the Bursar, together
with the fee for each course. The Bursar will sign and return
one card to the student, who should present it to the instructors
in charge of the courses prescribed on the card. The student, after
presenting the card to the various instructors for enrollment in the
classes, will retain the same as a receipt from the Bursar, and for future
use. No student will be admitted to any course without a registration
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 cards, which must be signed by the Registrar and the
Bursar to be valid.
FEES.—No registration fee will be charged.
A tuition fee of five dollars will be charged for admission to each
course in the groups denominated on page 18 as receiving University
credit or credit on the Summer School Professional Certificate or
credit on the Special Certificate.
A single fee of ten dollars will be charged for the courses (not
more than five) taken in one summer from the group counting towards
the Professional Elementary Certificate—Grammar Grades—
or the Professional Elementary Certificate Primary Grades—respectively,
to all students from other states than Virginia.
The Department of Public Instruction of Virginia has provided by
special appropriation that Virginia teachers shall pay only six dollars
for the courses (not more than five) from these groups.
A single fee of six dollars will be charged for the courses (not
more than six) taken from the group of elementary courses which
prepare for the First Grade Certificate examination, to all students
from other States than Virginia. The Department of Public Instruction
of Virginia has provided by special appropriation that Virginia
teachers shall pay only three dollars for the courses (not more than
six) selected from this group.
Students not desiring credit will be charged at the same rate.
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.
When all of the certificates issued by the Director, which are required
for any State certificate applied for, have been received, the
Department of Public Instruction should be notified, and the appropriate
state certificate will be issued in exchange for the individual
certificates noted above. Notice of the completion of courses counted
towards University credit should be made to the Registrar of the
University of Virginia.
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. Some States authorize the University Summer School
instructors to hold State examinations. In other States arrangements
may be made upon application of the teachers from those
States. All persons wishing to arrange for credits with their respective
school authorities should correspond with the Director of
the Summer School.
University of Virginia College Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
granted for work done in the Summer School.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can
receive credit in the College for any work done in the University of

Drawing, and Domestic Economy.
Special Certificate.—Any teacher who complies with the entrance
requirements for the Summer School Professional Certificate as given
above, and who attends the University Summer School for two sessions
of six weeks each and completes satisfactorily at least one
course in Educational Psychology, and in addition three courses in
any one subject, to be selected from courses prescribed for this certificate
in the University Department, will be given a Special Certificate
to teach the subject in which she has specialized. This certificate
will be good for five years and renewable from time to time.
Professional Elementary Certificates.—Two Professional Elementary
Certificates will be issued by the Virginia Department of Public
Instruction: The Professional Elementary Certificate—Primary
Grades; and the Professional Elementary Certificates—Grammar
Grades. These certificates will be issued for a term of seven years
and will be renewable for a similar period from time to time.
The requirements for entrance to the work leading to the Professional
Elementary Certificates are the same as those for the Summer
School Professional Certificate as outlined above. In addition to
the completion of the courses below leading to the Professional Elementary
Certificates, a teacher must have had at least nine months
successful experience in Primary or Grammar Grade school teaching,
as certified to by her superintendent and principal, before the certificate
can be issued.
The courses for the Professional Elementary Certificate—Primary
Grades—may be selected from the following: Principles of Teaching
with special emphasis on "How to Study" (30 periods); Hygiene (30
periods); Music and Games (60 periods); Drawing (30 periods);
Primary Industrial Work (30 periods); Observation Work or Practice
Teaching (30 periods); Primary Methods in Reading (30 periods),
in Language (30 periods); in Arithmetic (30 periods); in Physical

Games will be credited with sixty hours. The same credit will be
allowed those taking Nature Study and Geography. Those taking
one section of Education 12 and one of Education 13 will be given
credit for sixty hours and may be credited with the fulfillment of the
requirements in Reading and one other thirty period course of those
required. The same course may not be taken twice for credit.
Applicants for this certificate must make at least 75 per cent on
class standing and examination in each subject.
Special attention is called to the outlines found elsewhere in the
catalogue for the work leading to these certificates, and to the carefully
selected corps of instructors offering them. The management
has endeavored to make the work leading to these certificates an
especially strong feature of the Summer School in the belief that it
will appeal to the very large number of primary and grammar
grade teachers of the South who desire additional professional training
for their work.
The courses leading to the Professional Elementary Certificate—
Grammar Grades—must cover the following: Principles of Teaching
including "How to Study" (60 periods); Hygiene (30 periods); Practice
