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. In the Department of Education many professional courses
for elementary and high school teachers which are not offered in the regular
session are given to meet certificate requirements. 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 18th, and will close July 28th, with
lectures five times a week. The Second Term will begin July 30th,
and close September 1st, 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, permission may
be obtained to take four courses. In all cases an additional fee of
$5.00 will be charged for each extra course. See page 22.
The Summer Quarter is conducted for white men and women students
as follows: Elementary teachers seeking certificate or degree
credit, high school teachers desiring certificate or degree credit, students
just entering college desiring advanced standing, undergraduate
students, pre-medical students and pre-law students desiring to meet
entrance requirements, medical students, graduate students working
for the master's degree or wishing to engage in research, school officials,
supervisors and superintendents, and serious minded men and
women who wish a wider knowledge of some special subject or seek
broader general culture.
INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.—The second session of the
Institute of Public Affairs will be held August 6 to 18, for a study and
discussion of the outstanding issues in national, state and local government
and the economic and social problems underlying them. There
will be eight or ten Round Tables on such subjects as County and
State Government, Municipal Government, Political Parties, Farm Problems,
Growing Tax Burdens, Economic and Social Development of
the South, Women in Public Affairs, Aeronautics, and the Influence
of the Press in Public Affairs. Each Round Table will meet every
other day from 9 to 10:30. In addition to the Round Table discussions
there will be an open forum from 11:30 to 1:00 o'clock daily and a
public address at 8 o'clock each evening.
The leaders of the Round Tables will include such outstanding authorities
in their respective fields, as Dr. Thomas H. Reed, University
of Michigan; Dr. A. R. Hatton, Northwestern University; Dr. John
D. Black, Harvard University; Dr. Howard W. Odum, University
of North Carolina; Dr. Victor Rosewater, formerly, Editor Omaha
Bee, and others. Those who participate in the public forums and deliver
general addresses will be men and women of national reputations
on account of their achievements in practical politics and public service.
Last year the Institute attracted nation-wide attention. The
program will be even more attractive this year and should prove of
but to students of government and all the social sciences. It will afford
an unusual opportunity for graduate students in these subjects.
A complete announcement will be sent to any person interested, upon
application.
ATTENDANCE.—A change from a six weeks' summer session to
a full Summer Quarter was approved by the faculty and authorized by
the Rector and Visitors in 1920 and its rapid growth has justified the
wisdom of these bodies in establishing it. The total enrollment for
both terms in 1927 was 2771. Deducting duplicates in the second term
there was a total attendance of 2167 individual students. Of the total
enrollment 1985 were from Virginia and 786 from 41 other states and
countries. There were 1882 women and 889 men.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.—There are no formal examinations
for admission to the Summer Quarter. Students are admitted to
such courses as instructors find them qualified to pursue with advantage,
but they should be graduates of accredited high schools or have
had equivalent preparation. 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 Dean of the Summer Quarter. Students who wish to
enter the courses leading to the Normal Professional Certificate are
required to make formal application on blanks which will be furnished
by the Registrar of the Summer Quarter. Such applications should be
filed in the Office of the Registrar before the opening of the Summer
Quarter.
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
1927, taken from the records of the weather station at the University
Observatory, was: June, 72.7, July, 76.2, August, 74.6. There are
golf links, swimming pools, and many other attractions for summer
visitors.
EXCURSIONS.—One of the most attractive features of the Summer
Quarter are the trips to nearby points of interest and of beauty.
Under the directorship of a competent guide there will be excursions
to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; to Natural Bridge; the
battlefields in Virginia; the Endless Caverns and the Grottoes and any
other points to which a sufficiently large number may care to go. The
trips to the famous caverns located in the Valley of Virginia have always
been exceedingly popular. The underworld wonders of these
caves are famous throughout the entire country and many tourists |
Note—It is important that every prospective student read all the announcements
from pages 11 to 38.
automobile and the scenic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the
Piedmont Valley and the Valley of Virginia greatly enhances the
pleasure and profit derived from them.
The proximity to Richmond, Petersburg and Old Point Comfort
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.
In addition to the trips suggested above, well planned and personally
conducted trips are arranged to Washington and New York. Since
these are conducted by competent and experienced guides and are arranged
for large numbers, a student can see more in less time and for
less money than if traveling alone.
TO ENDLESS CAVERNS AND THE GROTTOES.—Saturday,
July 21st. Total cost, including transportation, entrance to both
caves, and meals, about $7.50.
TO NATURAL BRIDGE AND LEXINGTON.—Saturday, June
23rd. An auto trip over the beautiful Blue Ridge and through the famous
Shenandoah Valley. Cost about $6.50.
TO MONTICELLO.—Saturday, June 23rd, and other dates to be
announced. Automobile round trip, including admission to grounds
and buildings, $1.25.
TO WASHINGTON.—Saturday, July 14th, returning late July
15th. Total cost, including sight-seeing trips through public buildings,
Arlington and Mount Vernon, the services of a guide and chaperon,
hotel bills, (the party stopped at the famous Mayflower Hotel in 1927)
and railroad fare, from $18.00 to $19.00.
TO NEW YORK.—Date not set. Approximate cost from $16.00
to $18.00.
ENTERTAINMENTS AND LECTURES.—For the benefit of
those who need and want beneficial entertainment, a series of concerts,
plays and artistic performances is provided each summer by
the University and offered to the students on a season basis at less
than it costs to put the entertainments on. They are offered as a
Course for $5.00, reserved season ticket, or $4.00, general admission.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $7.50 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upward, according to accommodation and proximity to the University,
the average being $7.50 to $9.00 per week. Most of the boarding
houses immediately adjoin the University Grounds.
Two hundred and twenty-five furnished double rooms in the University
dormitories will be reserved for women, and one house for
men, in the order of application. The price for each term will be $6.00
for each person for full term of six weeks for a double room. All
checks for rooms should be made payable to University of Virginia.
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 9th.
the fee in the Summer Quarter. Rooms that are reserved will not be
held later than June 23rd. No room will be open for occupancy before
June 15th. No transfer of a reservation will be allowed without written
permission of the Assistant Secretary or Local Manager. Roomers
must provide themselves with necessary bed clothes, towels, etc.
Rooms will be in charge of Mrs. E. I. Carruthers, an experienced
matron and chaperon. Residence, E. Range, Phone 271. Some members
of the faculty will be located in each set of dormitories. No
cooking allowed in rooms. 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.
Application for dormitory rooms should be sent promptly with retaining
fee. For list of boarding houses, rates, etc., see page 79 or
write to Assistant Secretary, Summer Quarter, Box 149, University,
Virginia.
No student will be permitted to room in a house not approved by
the Administrative Board of the Summer Quarter. If the name is
not on the approved list in the catalogue, inquiry should be made before
accommodations are engaged. Girls will not be permitted to
visit fraternity houses for men, whether chaperoned or not.
Students are requested not to accept rooms when prices quoted
are in advance of those listed in the catalogue. When a room is accepted
it is the usual understanding that it is for a term of six weeks,
and a student is expected to pay for that time unless there is a definite
agreement to the contrary in advance or it may be clearly shown that
accommodations are not as represented.
If accommodations are not secured before arriving, students
should go immediately to Peabody Hall, where there will be listed the
available boarding places still open. A guide will be at the station
with the Summer Quarter badge to aid students with baggage; but
not to designate boarding places. Students are cautioned against
solicitors at the station or on the grounds and are advised to accept
advice and directions only from official sources.
Baggage.—Trunks and heavy bags should be left at the railway
station until a residence is secured. There are two passenger stations
in Charlottesville; all baggage should be checked to Union Station,
Charlottesville.
No check for baggage should be given to a drayman or transfer
company without taking a receipt for it.
APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate
approximations of all necessary expenses for a session of six weeks.
Necessary expenses are reckoned as university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing,
traveling expenses, or pocket money. Three estimates are given—
a low, an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the three
depends on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books,
and laundry in other words, on the scale of living of the individual
student. If a student shares a room with another student, and practices
the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below
the estimate.

UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA.—The University Cafeteria is in the
University Commons at a point on the campus convenient of access
for all students. The management makes a special effort to render the
kind of service that Summer Quarter students will most appreciate.
The sanitary conditions are of the highest and only the best quality of
food is served. The service is rendered at cost and our prices are
much lower than at any other place at the University. Accommodations
are ample and reservations need not be made. Mr. J. W. Preston,
an experienced manager is in immediate charge and inquiries may
be made of him as well as Dr. Kincaid, in charge for the University.
REDUCED RAILROAD RATES.—Reduced rates on the round
trip identification plan will be authorized from points on the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western Railroads and from
Southeastern territory with the exception of stations on the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad and the Winston-Salem Southbound
Railway. The basis will be one and one-half fare for the
round trip, minimum excursion fare $1.00, and tickets will be sold
only to students and members of their families upon presentation of
identification certificates to ticket agents at time of purchase of
tickets.
Ask your station agent in advance of your coming about rates.
Tickets will be sold June 14th-20th, inclusive, and July 26th, August
1st, inclusive, final limit of all tickets September 7th, tickets to be validated
by the regular ticket agents of the Charlottesville terminal lines
over which such tickets read before return journey is commenced.
Application should be made to Assistant Secretary, Summer Quarter,
Box 149, University, Virginia, for identification certificates.
FEES FOR VIRGINIA TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.—
Tuition is entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular
courses, leading to certification. No student, however, will be permitted
to take more than three courses without the payment of $5.00
for each additional course. To meet local expenses, a registration
fee of $5.00 for a six weeks' term and a medical fee of $ .75 is
charged all students except Virginia teachers, who pay no tuition, and
are charged $10.00 registration fee. An extra fee of $5.00 will be charged
for each graduate course. There are a few special courses offered to
meet certain demands, 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 will be charged the
registration fee of $5.00 and $15.00 tuition.

The term "Virginia teachers" includes those who are now teaching
in Virginia or whose last teaching was in Virginia. The term cannot
be construed as meaning any of the following:
1. Those who are now teaching in other states.
2. Those whose last teaching was in other states.
3. Those who are planning to teach but have not yet taught.
Students from Virginia who are planning to teach but have not yet
taught may secure a State Scholarship which entitles them to free
tuition in return for their pledge to teach two years in the public
schools of Virginia. A student applying for such a scholarship
should have his application endorsed by the Superintendent of the
Division in which he lives.
FEES FOR NON-VIRGINIA STUDENTS.—A registration fee
of five dollars for each term and a tuition fee of $20.00 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 courses without paying a fee of $5.00 for each extra
course. See page 22.
Note.—Teachers outside of Virginia are not limited in the choice
of courses to the regulations under which Virginia licenses 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 Quarter for certificate credit or renewal.
Medical Fee.—A small medical fee of 75 cents will be charged
each person who registers each term, which will entitle him or her to
free medical attendance by Dr. Oscar Swineford, Jr., the Physician of
the Summer Quarter, hospital phone, 548; residence phone, 1233; office
hours at the hospital 8:30 to 9:30 and 5:00 to 6:00. Sundays, holidays,
and Saturdays, 12:00 to 1:00 only. Moderate charges will be
given at the University Hospital, under the following regulations:
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 Physician of the Summer
Quarter; and, if necessary, to nursing in the University Hospital at
a reasonable charge for maintenance while there. This reduced
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 coming to the University. Nor is the University responsible
for the expense incurred through the employment of private
nurses, necessitated by severe illness of the student, or through
the maintenance of quarantine precautions in contagious cases. Any
student sent to the University Hospital upon the advice and under
the care of a physician other than the Summer Quarter Physician
will be required to pay the regular hospital charges for private patients.
Late Registration and Transfer Fees.—Students who fail to register
on the days specified for the purpose must pay a special fee of
$1.00. Registration is not completed until all fees are paid; therefore,
if fees are not paid on the registration days, $1.00 is added to the total
of fees charged.
A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change from one course to
another after registration has been completed.
No auditors or visitors are allowed in classes unless this privilege
is mentioned in the description of the course. All who attend must
be regularly registered and enrolled.
Refund of Fees.—Students who withdraw within the period
allowed for registration and changes in program, that is, within the
first week of the session, will be reimbursed the full amount of tuition
fees and half the laboratory fees, but no other fees.
Students who withdraw after the time allowed for registration and
changes cannot be allowed reimbursement for any fees.
Formal application for withdrawal, by notice to the Registrar before
leaving the Summer Quarter, must be made and permission
granted or no remission of fees will be allowed.
PAYMENT OF FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES.—The Bursar
does not cash personal checks, but will accept them in payment of the
exact amount of fees, and they will be accepted at the cafeteria for
meal tickets. Students should provide themselves with Travelers'
checks, or New York Drafts, which may be obtained from their
home banks, or Postal Money Orders.
A Branch of the Peoples National Bank of Charlottesville is located
at the University where accounts may be opened, if desired.
TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.
—Recitations will begin in all courses Tuesday, June 19th, at 8:30
a. m. There will be no classes on Saturdays in the first term except
Saturday, June 30th and Saturday, July 7th, to make up for registration
day, June 18th and Fourth of July, when there will be no
classes. The length of recitation periods will be one hour, ten minutes
of which will be allowed for transfer from one room to another.
Sunday Vesper Services.—The Vesper Services held in McIntire
Amphitheatre every Sunday evening at 7:30, draw thousands not
only from the Summer Quarter but from the community for miles
around. They consist of a religious address from a distinguished
speaker, special music by the Vespers Choir and individual soloists,
community singing and selections played on the big pipe organ in
the amphitheatre. These Vesper Services have always proven to be
one of the mose attractive features of the Summer Quarter. The
Service begins at half past seven o'clock.
The Vesper Choir.—This Chorus (for women's voices) is conducted
along the lines of a city church choir of high standards. Students of
the Summer Quarter, particularly those with some experience in choral
singing, are invited to join; membership is limited to thirty. Regular
rehearsals are held each Wednesday from 7:30 to 8:30 P. M. at Madison
Hall and programs will be prepared and performed during the
Vesper Services. The organization takes place Wednesday, June 20th,
at 7:30 P. M. in Madison Hall.
General Assembly.—Every evening except Saturday and Sunday,
from 7:30 to 8:00 o'clock, a general assembly of students and faculty
will be held in Cabell Hall. The program will be informal and
varied, and will be musical, devotional, educational, or recreational.
Assembly will be under the direction of a faculty committee, and
will be led by members of the faculty and prominent visiting
speakers.
Commencement.—In order to provide for the increasing number of
students who complete the requirements for their degrees during the
Summer Quarter, commencement exercises will be held Friday evening.
August 31st, at 8 o'clock, when degrees will be conferred.
Each applicant for a degree in the Summer Quarter must submit
to the Dean of the Summer Quarter for approval by the proper
Committee on Degrees, the program of work leading to the degree
sought, not later than April 1st of the year in which the degree is to
be obtained. If the Committee approves the program, it will be submitted
to the proper faculty of the University for recommendation
to the General Faculty and will be finally approved by the General
Faculty at the meeting in June at which other degrees are approved.
Each student who expects to receive a degree at the close of the Summer
Quarter is required to leave his or her name with the Registrar of
the Summer Quarter on or before August 1st. This is necessary in
order that credits may be checked, caps and gowns ordered, diplomas
engraved, etc.
REGISTRATION IN PERSON.—Those students who will need
advice before registering will register in person on June 15th, 16th,
18th in Peabody Hall.
No student will be allowed to attend any class until his registration
has been completed. Registration is completed and the student's card
filed only after his fees have been paid in full. No student will be enrolled
in any course without a card showing that he has been regularly
registered for such a course and that his fees have been paid. Students
are urged, therefore, to register and pay fees promptly on the
days set aside for that purpose.
A delayed registration fee of $1.00 will be charged all persons after
June 21st.
The Registrar's office, located in Peabody Hall, will be open continuously
from 8:30 to 4:30 p. m. on registration days. 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 26th, except a certificate of attendance.

of their major subject and whose programs have been finally arranged
and approved.
PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION BY MAIL.—After receiving
the registration blank from the Registrar, the student should

sheet of paper, list the classes which he wishes to pursue. After this
card is returned to the Registrar, if the program is approved, the
Registrar will fill in the classes on the back of the registration card.
A list of the fees due will be sent to the student. Upon arrival at
the University, the student should go immediately to the Bursar, in
the Basement of Peabody Hall, pay his fees and receive a card showing

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 both men and women who satisfy entrance requirements
will not only receive credit in the University of Virginia for
college courses taken in the Summer Quarter, but the summer work
is recognized by standard colleges everywhere, so that students
have no difficulty in securing transfer of credits.
(e) 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; residence work aggregating three
summer quarters shall be considered as fulfilling the residence requirements
for the master's degree.
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 Summer Quarter
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
validation of such certificates is effected by the successful completion
of the courses taken in this university. In no case will credit be given
on more than forty-five session-hours of work done elsewhere, and any
candidate who receives this maximum amount of credit can count
among the remaining fifteen session-hours required for his degree only
the credit value of the courses he has passed as a resident student in
the Summer Quarter. In every case the candidate must spend at least
three full summer quarters in this University.
REGULATIONS
The Session-Hour.—All courses are measured in terms of the session-hour
as a unit. A session-hour is one hour a week throughout the
regular session of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week throughout
the session of laboratory work, or five hours a week or five laboratory
periods a week for a term of six weeks in the Summer Quarter.
It is equal to two semester hours or three quarter hours.
Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each student
may undertake each term courses aggregating three session-hours (with
the exception noted in paragraph I.)
(I) A student may take four session-hours, provided he (a) has
passed in the regular session at the college last attended courses aggregating
fifteen session-hours, or (b) is in his graduating year and
needs four session-hours for his degree.
Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special
permission of the Dean of the Summer Quarter and all of the professors
concerned.
Physical training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.
Grade.—The grade of a student in any course is determined by his
class standing and his examination grade, combined in such proportion
as the professor in charge of the course in question may decide.
Class standing in any course is determined by the regularity of the
student's attendance upon the lectures (and laboratory or other similar
exercises) of the course, and by the quality of his work, as indicated
by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work, etc. For
passing in any course a grade of seventy-five per cent. is required.
For certificate regulations, see page 30.
Report of Grades.—A report of the final grade in each course pursued
is mailed to each student as soon as practicable after the close of
each term.
The names of students who passed will be posted as soon as reported
after each examination but no grades will be given out from
the Registrar's Office.
Transcript of Records.—After the original record is issued, a charge
of twenty-five cents will be made for each transcript of a record. Remittance
should accompany each application.
Report of State Credits.—State credits and State certificates will be
sent from the Department of Public Instruction, Richmond. Students
who fail to get their certificate should communicate with the Supervisor
Certification, State Board of Education, Richmond, Virginia.
Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but only
which a student has to offer must be made on the day of the first
lecture attended after the absence.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused, except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate,
or for other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve.
An unexcused absence is counted as a total failure.
Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date to be arranged between himself and the professor in
charge of the examination.
Re-examinations.—A student whose grade in any course falls below
seventy-five per cent. but not below sixty-five per cent. may, upon the
written recommendation of the professor in charge, be admitted to reexamination
upon that course during the first two days of registration
of the following Summer Quarter. All applicants for re-examination
must register and pay the fee of $2.50.
The Honor System.—All examinations are held under the Honor
System. Its administration is entirely in the hands of the students
through the Honor Committee.
