History.—The Young Men's Christian Association of the University of
Virginia has the distinction of being the oldest organization of its kind in
existence. It was founded October 12, 1858, and has today a larger proportionate
membership than that in any other state university in America.
Object.—The object of this Association, as set forth generally in the
Charter, is more specifically stated as follows:— to foster and promote
Christian fellowship among the students of the University of Virginia by
encouraging their participation in religious activities; by provoking their
serious thought on great moral and religious issues; by inculcating in them
the spirit of service; and by providing for them, and increasing their appreciation
of, social entertainment of a wholesome and beneficial nature.
Work.—The Association affords opportunity for voluntary study of the
Bible and also of problems of national and international interest, particularly
with reference to the possibility of solution by the fundamental principles
of Christianity. Through denominational clubs the organization seeks
to relate the students to the churches of their choice and through voluntary
service of its members materially assists—and in some cases wholly
mans—the Sunday Schools and young people's societies of the churches
in the community. In addition to this definite religious service in the community
members of the Association work with Boy Scout troops and cooperate
with community agencies in other forms of welfare work. Both
religious and welfare activities are carried into the outlying districts under
the supervision of the Extension Department of the Association; and free
medical clinics which were originally established in these localities by the
Association have increased in usefulness and importance through active cooperation
with the State and University medical staffs. Under the Deputation
Committee, student leaders and groups of students visit various preparatory
and high schools in the State to conduct religious meetings, and
they also carry on evangelistic campaigns in various communities throughout
the State.
In addition to these activities outside the University the Association,
through receptions, entertainments, and "Open Houses," stimulates social intercourse
among the students.
Equipment.—Through the munificence of Mrs. William E. Dodge and
family, of New York City, the Association possesses a very handsome building,
which was erected in 1905, at a cost, including furnishings, of about
$80,000, and which is maintained in part by an endowment of over $16,000,
subscribed by students, alumni, and friends of the University. This building,
called "Madison Hall" in honor of President Madison, who was intimately
connected with the early history of the University, faces the north front
of the Rotunda. In recent years Madison Hall has become the center of
social and student activities of the University as well as of the religious; and
offices in the building have been furnished gratis to the more prominent student
publications and organizations.
All the privileges including the use of tennis courts, showers, reading
room and library, rooms for meetings, services of the Hostess, Information Bureau,
handbook, student directory, etc., are open to any student without cost.
About one-half of the budget for the support of the Association work
and the maintenance of Madison Hall is supplied by the income from a small
endowment, the Chapel fund, and a sum allocated by the University. As it
is the student organization definitely devoted toward serving the religious,
social and economic interests of the students, the remainder of the budget
necessary for this work must come from the student body. A campaign is
held in the fall for the remainder of the budget. At this time the opportunity
of contributing to the service and upkeep of Madison Hall is given to each
student.
REGULATIONS
(1) 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 session
of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week throughout the session of
laboratory work.
(2) Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each student
is required to undertake each session courses aggregating at least 15 session-hours
(with the exception noted under Probation below). This number may
be increased in the following cases:
(I) Any first-year student may take 18 session-hours, provided he is
credited with 6 session-hours of advanced standing.
(II) A student not in his first year in the Department of Education may
take 18 session-hours, provided he (a) has passed in the preceding session
or in the third term thereof courses aggregating 15 session-hours, or (b) is
in his graduating year and needs 18 session-hours for his degree.
(III) A student not in his first year may take 21 session-hours provided
he passed in the preceding session or in the third term thereof courses aggregating
18 session-hours.
(IV) Any student whose term grade (or class grade, if the term grade
is not available) for the first or second term is at least 75 per cent. in each
of his courses, may take 3 additional session-hours for the ensuing term.
Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special
permission of the Faculty.
Physical Education is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.
(3) Grade.—The grade of a student in any course either for a term or for
the session, 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 in the Department of Education a grade of 75 per
cent. is required.
(4) Exclusion from Courses, Probation and Suspension.
(I) Exclusion from Courses:
1. A student who is evidently making no real progress in a course, may,
at any time during the session, be excluded from the course by the Dean
upon recommendation of the instructor concerned.
2. A student whose term grade in a course is less than 50 per cent., or
who discontinues the course without permission of the Dean, or who is absent
without excuse from the term examination, will be excluded from the course.
(II) Probation and Suspension:
1. Probation is a state of warning, involving withdrawal from the student
of certain privileges enumerated below. Suspension means forced withdrawal
from the Department.
2. A student will be placed on probation if, in any term, he does not pass
on 6 hours of work; and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses,
he must, in order to avoid probation, pass on a number of hours 6 in excess
of the number from which he is excluded.
A student will be suspended if, in any term, he does not pass on 3 hours
of work; and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses, he must, in
order to escape suspension, pass on a number of hours 3 in excess of the
number from which he is excluded.
3. A student on probation must carry at least 12 hours of work or be
suspended. A student not on probation must carry at least 15 hours of work
or be placed on probation.
Exception: A first-year student excluded from one course during the
first term is not to be placed on probation during the rest of the term. But
at the end of the term he is to be considered as having made a grade of less
than 50 per cent. on the course from which he was excluded.
4. No student may remain on probation for more than two terms in his
entire college course. If his record is such as to invoke probation a third
time, he will be suspended. No student suspended a second time may reenter
the Department.
5. No student on probation may be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as an athletic team, a
musical club or a student publication.
6. Suspension, if imposed during the session, applies to the remainder
of the regular session; if imposed at the end of the session, it applies to the
whole of the subsequent session.
7. Probation or suspension may be absolved by the completion of 3 session-hours
of work in one term of the Summer Quarter.
8. A student who is permitted to withdraw from the University during
the session will be re-admitted only on probation if, at the time of his withdrawal,
he was on probation. A student previously suspended will be readmitted
only on probation.
9. The application of these regulations is automatic. A student may,
however, appeal in writing to the Committee on Rules and Courses for relief
from their application. The Committee is empowered to grant relief for
just cause.
(5) 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.
A student excused from more than one-half of his term examinations on
account of illness may not be a member of any student organization which
publicly represents the University, such as an athletic team, a musical club,
or a student publication, until he has taken his examinations.
No student may remain in the Department if he misses all the examinations
of two consecutive terms on account of illness.
(6) Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with (5) above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date during the regular session to be arranged between himself
and the professor in charge of the examination.
(7) Re-Examinations.—A candidate for a degree who fails on only
one of his courses during his final session of candidacy is entitled to a
special re-examination on the work of that course before the final day, provided
that he average at least 65 per cent. on the work of the three terms,
and provided the professor in charge recommends that the candidate be
granted a re-examination. The professor in charge is to decide whether the
candidate is to stand a re-examination upon the whole course, or upon some
portion or portions of the course. No fee is charged for such re-examination.
It should be carefully noted that no student is entitled to more than one
re-examination on a given course without repeating the course.
(8) Reports.—Reports are sent at the end of each term to the parent
or guardian of each student. These reports indicate the number of times the
student has been absent from lectures, and give his term grade on each course.
The Dean will be glad at any time to furnish to the proper person a special
report on any student's standing.
In addition to the above, a report on the standing of each first-year student
in the Department is sent to the student's parent or guardian early in
November.
(9) Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the
University, whether he be within the precincts or anywhere else. Drunkenness,
gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President
may dismiss from the University for the residue of the current session every
student found guilty of them, or may administer such other discipline as
seems best under the circumstances.
The President will dismiss from the University every student convicted
of public drunkenness, or of other conduct reflecting serious discredit upon
the University.
In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first be
informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity of
explanation and defense.
The keeping of dogs by students within the University grounds is forbidden.
Motor driven vehicles either owned or operated by students are prohibited
from parking in the roadways and alleys of the University grounds
between the hours of 8:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. However, students suffering
from serious physical disability, or who live more than two miles outside
the city limits, may be granted permits to park.
(10) Voluntary Withdrawal.—Voluntary withdrawal from the University
requires the written consent of the Dean of the University as well as
the consent of the student's parent or guardian, if he is a minor. Any
student who withdraws without permission will be recorded as having been
suspended for the residue of the current session. No student on probation
may withdraw except for imperative reasons and any student on probation
who withdraws without permission will be suspended, not only for the residue
of the current session, but also for the whole of the subsequent session.
(11) Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted for habitual delinquency in class,
habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents the student from fulfilling
the purposes for which he should have come to the University. See also
Suspension, above.
(12) Change of Studies.—No change can be made in a student's program
of studies except with the written consent of the Dean, together with
official notification by the Registrar. No permit for change of courses will
be issued after the end of the first week of each term. Any student who
drops a course without permission will receive a grade of zero in that course;
and no credit may be received for any portion of a course attended before
formal permission has been granted as outlined above.
(13) Absence from Lectures may be excused by the Dean, but only for
sickness or other imperative cause. Any explanation of an absence which a
student has to offer must be made in writing to the Dean within one week
after the absence. But no excuse for an absence may be submitted after the
beginning of an examination period.
Each unexcused absence from a class exercise will cause one point to be
deducted from the student's term grade.
Exception: A second-year student who has credit for at least 12 but
less than 27 session-hours of work is allowed one absence without penalty
per term in each course. A third-year student who has credit for at least
27 but less than 42 session-hours of work is allowed two absences without
penalty per term in each course. A fourth-year student who has credit for
at least 42 session-hours of work is allowed three absences without penalty
per term in each course.
A total of more than 15 unexcused absences (in excess of absences without
penalty) in any term will cause a student to be placed on probation.
Probation imposed for absences is called "attendance probation," and it
carries the penalties of probation imposed for failure in courses. If, in any
term, a student incurs both attendance probation and probation for failure in
courses, he will be suspended.
No student who was, for any reason, absent from more than 50 per cent.
of the lectures of a course in any term can receive a grade on the course in
that term. This regulation does not apply to students on the Dean's List.
The laws relating to absence from the University of members of athletic
teams are found in the General Catalogue. The same regulations apply,
mutatis mutandis, to members of other student organizations.
The Dean's List.—A student who passes on not less than 15 session-hours
during a session with an average of at least 85 per cent., and with no
session grade less than 75 per cent., will be placed on the Dean's List, and
will remain on the List as long as he receives an average of at least 85 per
cent., on at least 15 session-hours per term and receives no term grade less
than 75 per cent. in any course. Any student on the Dean's List failing to
maintain this standard of excellence will be automatically dropped from the
List. A student once dropped from the List can again make the Dean's
List by meeting the above standard for entire session. A student on the
Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting the issuance of leaves
of absence from the University, nor does absence from any class entail on
such student any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence alone.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD
OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
Facilities for observation and directed teaching and for practical educational
research are made available through the coöperation with the University
of the school systems of the City of Charlottesville and the County of
Albemarle.
The Coöperative Teacher-Training Program entered into between the
School Board of the City of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia
provides for the employment of critic teachers in the following subjects:
English, Latin, Mathematics, Natural Science and Social Science.
The agreement as adopted includes the following regulations:
1. The critic teachers shall be chosen by the University with the approval
of the superintendent of schools, it being recognized that no person
may be elected by the School Board without the recommendation of the
superintendent of schools.
2. The duties of the critic teachers shall be as follows:
A. To teach two regular classes in the high school such as shall be
agreed upon by the critic teacher, the principal of the high school and the
superintendent of schools.
B. To serve as critic teacher for the direction of the teaching of such
student teachers as are assigned to him.
C. To perform such routine duties in connection with the classes taught
as would fall to the lot of any high school teacher in a city school system in
Virginia.
D. To conduct such experimental studies as the wisdom of the critic
teacher, the principal of the high school and the superintendent of schools
such experimental studies shall originate with the Department of Education
in the University of Virginia.
3. The salaries of the critic teachers shall be paid as follows:
A. The City School Board shall pay the pro rata amount for the two
regular classes taught that would be paid to any high school teacher for
doing the same work according to the fixed salary schedule in effect from
time to time.
B. The remainder of the salary shall be paid by the University.
4. The critic teacher may teach a special methods course in the subject-matter
field of his assignment, this work to be done at the University.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE ALBEMARLE
COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND THE UNIVERSITY OF
VIRGINIA
The Coöperative Program entered into between the School Board of
the County of Albemarle and the University of Virginia provides facilities
for observation and practice in the high schools of the County for the training
of high school teachers and principals under a director of high school
supervision; and laboratory training for rural supervisors in the elementary
schools of the County under two assistant professors of rural supervision.
Provision is also made for the training of division superintendents of schools
under the direction of Superintendent A. L. Bennett.
CRITIC TEACHERS AND DEPARTMENTAL SUPERVISORS
The duties of the critic teachers and departmental supervisors in the
County high schools are as follows:
1. To act as general departmental supervisor in the subject-matter field
of his assignment.
2. To teach two regular classes in the high school of which he is a member
of the teaching staff, such as shall be assigned by the Director of Supervision
acting in agreement with the principal of the high school and division
superintendent of schools.
3. To serve as critic teacher for the direction of the teaching of such
student teachers as are assigned to him by the Director of Supervision.
4. To teach a special methods course in the subject-matter field of his
assignment.
5. To conduct such studies of instructional problems as are approved
by the Director of Supervision as being in the interest of the improvement

6. To coöperate in directing the studies of such graduate students as are
assigned to him by the Director of Supervision, acting in agreement with
the Professor of Secondary Education.
7. To recommend to the principal pupil-assignment to studies in his
departmental field.
DUTIES OF THE RURAL SUPERVISORS
The coöperative program between the University and the County of
Albemarle made possible the employment of two superior rural supervisors,
bringing the supervisory staff for elementary schools to five. These two
supervisors, in addition to supervising all elementary schools in the districts
assigned to them, direct the training of rural supervisors.
In order that there may be adequate opportunity for experimentation in
one-room schools two schools within easy reach of the University have been
chosen for special study and demonstration by the rural supervisors. It is
hoped that the record of achievement in these two schools may serve as an
example and stimulus, not only to the schools of the county, but of a much
wider area.
TRAINING OF ELEMENTARY SUPERVISORS
Students preparing for elementary school supervision must have (1) previous
training equivalent to that required for the Virginia Normal Professional
Certificate, and (2) at least two years of successful teaching experience
in elementary schools attested by letters of recommendation from division
superintendents of schools under whom the teaching was done.
It is a general requirement in connection with Education B4 that students
shall be present for the opening of the schools in Albemarle County for
the purpose of studying the problems of school organization. The schools
usually open during the first week in September.
COLLEGIATE PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE
Recipients of the Bachelor of Science in Education will receive the Collegiate
Professional Certificate, the highest form of certificate for high school
teachers issued by the State Board of Education. This certificate is valid for
ten years, renewable for a similar period, and entitles the holder to teach in
both high and elementary schools in Virginia.
Holders of Collegiate Certificates, the certificates of second rank issued
by the State Board of Education, may obtain the Collegiate Professional
Certificate by attending the University one session and taking four 3 session-hour
courses in Education.
Curricula organized to meet the requirements for the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Education fulfill both academic and professional requirements
for the highest grade of professional high school certificates issued without
examination by the various state departments of Education to holders of
baccalaureate degrees. The graduate courses in Education are recognized
in states requiring graduate study for professional certificates.
TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES
A resolution of the State Board of Education provides that on and after
September 1, 1929, the minimum qualifications for those persons beginning
to teach in an accredited high school shall be a baccalaureate degree from a
standard four-year college.
In accordance with the above regulations it will not be necessary after
September 1, 1929, to issue to incoming teachers the Special or Junior College
Certificate. The new requirement for high school teachers will not be
retroactive.
THE SUMMER QUARTER
The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year. Courses
in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as in the Department of Education,
are the same in character and in credit value as in any other Quarter
of the University. Degrees are conferred upon men and women upon exactly
the same terms for work done in the Summer Quarter when the degree
requirements are fully met. Those who contemplate completing their degree
requirements in the Summer Quarter should keep clearly in mind, in estimating
the time that will be required, that the normal amount of credit which
may be taken in one Summer Quarter is 6 session-hours.
Candidates for a degree 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. This certificate must be acceptable
both to the Dean of the Summer Quarter and to the Dean of the department
in which the degree will be obtained. The certificate must bear the official
signature of the head of the candidate's college and must specify the character
and content of the courses passed by the candidate and must give his
grades. In every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer
Quarters or an equivalent time at the University in order to meet the
residence requirements.
The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualified persons in
three Summer Quarters. In no case is this degree to be conferred upon any
person who has not attended and done graduate work three full Summer
Quarters or the equivalent time in the regular session of the University and
the Summer Quarter.
On account of the increasing demand for graduate work in the Summer
Quarter, the number of graduate courses will be enlarged in 1931.
All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree through
summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of the Summer
Quarter an official statement of their entrance requirements and work for
which college credit is desired. Blanks for this purpose will be mailed upon
application.
First Term begins June 22nd and ends August 1st. Second Term begins
August 3rd and ends September 4th.
In order to provide for the increasing number of students who complete
the requirements for their degrees during the Summer Quarter, a convocation
exercise will be held Friday evening, September 4th, at 8 o'clock, when the
degrees will be conferred.
Catalogue and further information may be obtained by addressing Secretary
Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University, Virginia.
BUREAU OF TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS
Educational Tests.—The Department of Education maintains a Bureau
of Tests and Measurements as a feature of its extra-University service.
Select standard tests in school subjects will be supplied to cities, counties and
individual schools at cost. Members of the Faculty of Education will visit
the schools to be tested, train teachers in the use of the tests and personally
direct the giving and scoring of them, provided the necessary traveling expenses
are borne by the schools served.
Mental Tests.—In connection with its work in educational psychology,
the Department undertakes to assist school authorities in the diagnosis and
training of backward and gifted children. Assistance will be rendered in
the making of mental surveys and the establishment of special classes. A
clinic will be maintained for the study of cases accessible to the University
and the services of the professor in charge will be available to any community
in Virginia at the cost of the necessary test materials and traveling
expenses.
Any school official desiring the services of the Bureau of Tests and
Measurements should address the Dean of the Department of Education.
BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS
The University of Virginia maintains a Bureau of Appointments in
charge of a committee consisting of Professors Manahan, Windes, Smithey,
Metcalf and Lewis. The services of the bureau are free to all teachers and
prospective teachers seeking positions in secondary schools (both public and
private), normal schools, and colleges. Correspondence with regard to
appointments should be addressed to the Bureau of Appointments, E. S. Kiracofe,
Secretary, Room D, Peabody Hall, University, Virginia.
PHI DELTA KAPPA FRATERNITY
A chapter of the national honorary educational fraternity of Phi Delta
Kappa has been organized in connection with the Department of Education.
Under the constitution of the fraternity, only those students are eligible to
membership who expect to make teaching or administration of schools a
permanent vocation, and who give evidence of superior qualities of character,
scholarship and initiative. The standards of scholarship governing election
to membership in the fraternity are similar to those prescribed for election
to Phi Beta Kappa.
The purpose of the fraternity as stated in its constitution is "to develop
among the students of Education at the University of Virginia the spirit of
`Research, Service and Leadership,' " and to endeavor by every worthy means
at its command to create and foster fellowship and true fraternalism among
the members of the society.
EDUCATION CLUB
An Education Club is conducted for the purpose of fostering a scientific
study of educational problems. Membership is open to all students taking
and members of the faculty of the University who are willing to lend their
influence and efforts toward placing the teaching profession in Virginia
and the South on a professional basis.
