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 of the year. In the Department of Education many professional
courses for Elementary and high school teachers are given
to meet certificate requirements which are not offered in the regular
session. 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 21st, and will close July 31st, with lectures five times a week.
The Second Term will begin August 2nd, and will close September
3rd, 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, by special
permission of the Director and the approval of the instructors
in all the courses taken, permission may be obtained to take more
work. In all cases an additional fee of $5.00 will be charged for
each extra advanced course, and $3.00 for each extra elementary
course.
The University of Virginia Summer Quarter 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 of any grade who wish to procure professional work.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.—There are no formal examinations
for admission to the Summer Quarter. Students, both men
and women, will be admitted to such courses as the respective instructors
find them qualified to pursue with advantage. 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 Director
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 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
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 three
golf links, a well-conducted country club 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.
ENTERTAINMENTS, AND LECTURES.—A Musical Festival
and other entertainments will be announced during the session of
the Summer School. The whole course includes about twenty numbers
and the price of a season ticket is $4.00 making the cost about
the same as moving pictures. Among the attractions already engaged
are The Gamble Concert Party, Merle Alcock, Contralto of
the Metropolitan Opera Company; Mme. Matzenauer, "The World's
Greatest Contralto;" William Simmons, Baritone, Music League of
America; The Dietrichs, in a program of Music and Magic; Irma
Seydel, Violinist of Boston; two plays by the Player's Club of the
University, Franceska Kaspar Lawson, Soprano, Washington, D. C.;
and two Out-of-Door Performances by the Frank McIntee Company.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $7.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upward, according to accommodation and proximity to the University,
the average being $7.00 to $9.00 per week. Most of the boarding
houses immediately adjoin the University grounds. The University
Commons furnishes board for $30.00 for the full term of
41 days.
One hundred single furnished rooms and one hundred and twenty-five
furnished double rooms in the University dormitories will be reserved
in the order of application. The price for each term will
be $7.00 for the full term of six weeks for a single room, and $10.00
for a double room. All checks for rooms should be made payable
to E. I. Carruthers, Bursar. Every double room must be occupied
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 School. Rooms that are reserved will not be held later
than July 1st. 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. Josie Rodes, an experienced
matron and chaperon. 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
make this arrangement a very desirable one and the rooms are eagerly
sought.
The University Commons, conducted by Mrs. S. I. Carter, will be
open for summer students and will provide table board for three
hundred and fifty persons at the very low price of $5.50 for a single
week. $20.00 a month, or $30.00 for the first term of forty-one days
and $25.00 for the second term from July 31 to September 3rd. A
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 44, or
write to Secretary Summer School, Box 149, University, Virginia.
FEES FOR VIRGINIA TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.—Tuition
will be entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular
courses, both elementary and advanced, leading to the professional
certificates. No student, however, will be permitted to take more
than three advanced courses or four elementary courses without the
payment of $5.00 for each additional advanced course and $3.00 for each
extra elementary course. To meet local expenses the State Board of
Education has fixed a registration fee of $1.50 for a six weeks' term
for all of the Summer Schools of the State, and this fee 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 definitely preparing
to teach next session will be charged the same tuition as nonVirginia
students. Teachers whose residence is in Virginia but who
are teaching outside of Virginia will be charged the same fee as
non-Virginians.
FEES FOR NON-VIRGINIA STUDENTS.—A single registration
fee of fifteen dollars 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 advanced courses or
four elementary courses without special permission in writing from
the Director and without paying an extra fee of $5.00 for each extra
advanced course, or $3.00 for each elementary course.
Note.—Teachers outside of Virginia are not limited in the choice
of their courses to the regulations under which Virginia certificates
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 School for certificate credit or renewal.
Medical Fee.—A small medical fee of 50 cents will be charged each
person who registers the first term, which will entitle him or her
to free medical attendance by Dr. W. E. Bray, the Summer School
at the hospital 11:30 to 12:30 and 4:30 to 5:00. Greatly reduced
charges, if it should be necessary, will be given at the University
Hospital, under the following regulations: The same arrangement
may be made for the second term.
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 Summer School Physician;
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 his coming to the University. Nor is the University responsible
for the expense incurred through the employment of private
nurses, necessitated by severe illness of students, or through the
maintenance of quarantine precautions in contagious cases. Any
student sent to the University Hospital by the advice and under the
care of a physician other than the Summer School Physician will be
required to pay the regular hospital charges for private patients.
TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.—
Recitations will begin in all courses Tuesday, June 22nd, at 8:30 a. m.
There will be no classes on Saturdays in the first term except on
June 26th, and July 10th, when classes will meet at the usual hours
to make up for registration and examination days. The length of
recitation periods will be one hour, ten minutes of which will be
allowed for transfer from one room to another.
DAILY GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Daily from 11:30 to 12:25
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 devotional exercises, music, short addresses on timely topics by
prominent speakers invited for this purpose, or some other interesting
exercise.
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 is always kept within
one hour, begins at seven o'clock. When weather permits, the service
is held out of doors on the North Rotunda steps. Otherwise in
Cabell Hall.
REGISTRATION.—Monday, June 21st, 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 22nd, 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
from 8:30 a. m. to 5:00 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 29th, except a certificate of attendance.
No student will be enrolled in any course without a registration
and the Bursar.
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.
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.
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 School, 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 are nineteen tennis courts which will be
equipped for the use of the students.
THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Crowded schedules and a sense of a packed six weeks of work
make the program of the Y. W. C. A. take whatever form of service
is most notably needed. Sometimes it is recreation, and hikes,
breakfasts, bacon bats, and games spring into life! Sometimes the
desire of the student for spiritual growth calls into existence Bible
classes, where, under strong leadership, the principles of religion
and life are discussed. Sometimes, the desire for coöperative worship
is expressed, and the simple vesper service meets the needs of
many. Special lecturers on Social Morality, Recreation, and Club
Leadership are available when needed.
The Y. W. C. A. Secretary not only looks after all the "activities"
of the Association, but acts as a friend to every student. Madison
Hall is of value only as it is of service—whether through its reading
room, social center, or information bureau; so it is hoped that
every woman in attendance during the summer school may find
something she needs or wants from the Y. W. C. A.
The Secretary in charge will be Miss Louise Maddrey. All those
interested please see Miss Maddrey at Madison Hall on arrival. She
will need every interested available student.
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 filed at the post office
promptly upon arrival.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives demands for teachers each year. This committee
is glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance upon
the Summer School file their applications. There is no charge for
this service.
THE SUMMER SCHOOL NEWS.—The News is a college newspaper,
edited and managed by students 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.
RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 12th and 17th
will be devoted to the study of rural life problems in general, and
to the Community Centre in particular. A special effort will be
made to secure a large attendance of farmers, farmers' wives, and
community leaders, and distinguished speakers from all sections
of the United States will participate in the Conferences. The Conference
this year will be in charge of Mr. Henry E. Jackson, Special
Agent in Community Organization, U. S. Bureau of Education who
will have the active coöperation of Mr. Geo. W. Guy, Executive
Secretary of the Coöperative Education Association of Virginia.
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.
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. 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 instructor and the
Director of the Summer School, and mailed to the student. Each
student who wishes certificates sent, should file with the registrar
not later than July 20th, 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
by the Virginia State Board of Education. Credit is now allowed
toward the extension of certificates by many Southern 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
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be
granted for work done in the Summer School.
(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
School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the
courses in the Summer School 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 certificates 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 numbered from 1 to 100 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 who satisfy entrance requirements will not only receive
credit at the University of Virginia for college courses taken in
the Summer School, but the summer school 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 of twelve weeks each shall be
considered as fulfilling the residence requirements for the master's
degree. The following courses offered this Quarter will be given
M. A. credit: Biology 7 and 8; Education 13, 14, 18, 20 and 23;
English 29, 30, 31, 33, 34 and 35; Government 84; Latin 48.
The Courses of Instruction are designated as follows:
Courses numbered less than 100 may be credited toward the bachelor's
degree in the University of Virginia.
Courses numbered from 100 to 299 are courses for which college
credit is recommended, though not given in the University of Virginia
because corresponding work is not offered in this University
during the regular session. These courses are, however, accepted
by other standard colleges which offer similar work, and in which
transfer of credit may be obtained. Their credit value is expressed
in semester hours. Each course of one hour for thirty lectures has
a credit value of two semester hours. One hundred and twenty
semester hours are usually required for the baccalaureate degree.
The amount of College Credit in this University for each course is
indicated in connection with that course and is expressed in session-hours.
One course of thirty recitations of one hour each has a
credit value of one session-hour. Sixty-three session-hours, three of
which may be in physical education, distributed according to the
group requirements printed in the general catalogue of the University
are required for the baccalaureate degree. The normal
amount of credit which may be obtained in a summer session is
three session-hours for each term or a total of 6 session-hours for
the quarter. In exceptional cases students may be permitted to
take more work. Appropriate credit will be allowed for work completed
in recognized standard colleges.
Students who desire credit towards a degree must meet the entrance
requirements of this University before receiving such credit.
