Ask your station agent in advance of your coming about rates.

Tickets will be sold June 15 to 21, inclusive, and July 26 to August

Application for identification certificates should be made to Secretary,

Reduced Bus Rates.—Bus rates are reduced to all Summer Quarter students
for the first and second terms. Return tickets will be good until the

regular fare; The Short Lines, Inc., East Coast Stages, Peninsula Transit
Corp., Piedmont Bus Corp., Southern Passenger Lines and Virginia Stage
Lines,—round trip for one regular fare plus $1.00.

It is understood that where a ticket is issued over two lines, each line
will be entitled to $1.00 for a return fare.

The buses will deliver students in the University grounds.

The agents of the various lines will be glad to give full information upon
being shown this announcement; or, if more convenient, students may write
or wire S. A. Jessup, President Virginia State Lines, Inc., Charlottesville,
Va. Phone 333.

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 3 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 cents
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 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 another state.

  • 2. Those whose last teaching was in another state.

  • 3. Those who are planning to teach but have not yet taught.

Women 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 her application
endorsed by the Superintendent of the Division in which she lives.

Fees for Non-Virginia Students.—A registration fee of $5.00 for each
term and a tuition fee of $25.00 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 3
courses without paying a fee of $5.00 for each extra course. See page 19.

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 medical fee of 75 cents will be charged each person
who registers each term. This fee entitles him or her to free medical attention
by the Summer Quarter physician. Dr. Staige D. Blackford is the Summer Quarter
Physician for the first term and Dr. Oscar Swineford, Jr., for the second
term. They may be located at the University Hospital, telephone No. 548.
Their office hours will be in the Student Physician's Office from 8:30 to 9:30 A. M.,
4:00 to 5:00 P. M., and Saturdays, Sundays and holidays 12:00 Noon to 1:00
P. M. only. Students will be seen at other hours only in cases of emergency.

Moderate charges will be made 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 the usual charge for maintenance while there. The
medical fee does not apply to cases requiring consultation with another member
of the Hospital Staff and does not apply to cases requiring surgical operations
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 coming
to the University. Nor is the University responsible for expenses incurred
through the employment of private nurses, necessitated either by severe illness of
the student or through the maintenance of quarantine precautions. In every case
when a student is admitted to the hospital or receives treatment or advice from
any one other than the Summer Quarter Physician, he or she should inquire
about the cost in advance so that no misunderstanding may arise.

Teachers' Preventorium.—Virginia teachers attending the University of
Virginia Summer Quarter who are members of the Virginia Education Association,
and who have made the required contribution of $4.00 to the Preventorium Fund,
may receive hospital service at the Preventorium by first making application to
C. J. Heatwole, Executive Secretary, Richmond, Va.

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 Commons 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 20, at 8:30 A. M. There will be no classes on Saturdays
in the first term except Saturday, July 1, to make up for registration day,
June 19 and Saturday, July 15, to make up for July 4 which is a holiday. The
length of recitation periods is one hour, ten minutes of which will be allowed for
transfer from one room to another.

Sunday Vesper Service.—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. They consist of a religious address by 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 proved to be one of the most attractive features
of the Summer Quarter.

The Vespers Choir.—This Chorus is conducted along the lines of a city
church choir of high standards. Students of the Summer Quarter, both men and
women, particularly those with some experience in choral singing, are invited
to join; membership is limited to thirty. Regular rehearsals are held each Tuesday
and Friday from 12:30 to 1:30 in the Music Room when programs will be prepared
to be given during the Vesper Services. The organization takes place
Wednesday, June 21, at 7:30 P. M., in Madison Hall.

General Assembly.—On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 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.
On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday there will be gatherings on the lawn in
front of the Halls for games, singing, dancing, etc., thus affording an opportunity
for students to become acquainted.

Final Exercises.—The Final Exercises will be held Friday evening, September
1, at 8 o'clock, when degrees will be conferred.

Registration in Person.—Those students who will need advice before
registering will register in person on June 16, 17, 19, 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 designated for that purpose.

A delayed registration fee of $1.00 will be charged all persons after June 20.

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 27,
except a certificate of attendance.

Registration by Mail.—Registration may be completed by mail to June
9. For the necessary blanks, address, Registrar, Summer Quarter, Box 1337,
University, Va.

Registration by mail is intended only for those who know the program of
studies which they will take. All such prospective students are urged to register
by mail. This will avoid the great congestion on registration days, and enable
the students to arrive a day or two later. Students who register by mail are
not expected to pay fees until after arrival at the University.

Classes of students who should register by mail:

Teachers who are working on a prescribed program of study. These students
should send an official transcript of their credits to the Registrar. More careful
attention can be given to the planning of such students' work than if left until
the Registration days.

Graduates of accredited High Schools, who are beginning work toward
a teacher's certificate. As the work for such students is outlined for them, there
will be no difficulty in their registering by mail.

Teachers from out of the State. The work of such students is outlined
by the Board of Education of their own State and therefore, they would not
need advice in planning their work.

College Students who have decided on a definite course of study.

Procedure for Registration by Mail.—After receiving the registration
blank from the Registrar, the student should answer all questions on the front
of the card, and on a separate 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 Monroe Hall, pay his fees and
receive a card showing he may enter the classes for which he registered. Upon
payment of fees,
registration will be considered complete and the registration card
filed in the Registrar's office.

The General Library.—The General Library is open to the corps of instructors
and the students of the Summer Quarter, from 9 A. M. to 9:30 P. M.
The collection contains about 115,000 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.

At the end of each term, the names of students who owe library fees or who
have not returned borrowed books, are sent to the Registrar. No grades or credits
are issued for such students until their names have been cleared at the library.

The Heck Memorial Library.—The Department of Education maintains
its own library in Peabody Hall, named in honor of the first professor of Education
in the University, the late Professor William Harry Heck. At present the
library consists of over 9,300 well selected volumes covering most fields of Education,
and files of national, state, and foreign publications. This library will be
open from 8:30 A. M. to 9:30 P. M.

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 Quarter,
from 9 A. M. until 10 P. M. 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.

The Secretary in charge requests the co-operation of all and invites each student
to make the Y. W. C. A. her "home" while at the University.

The New Memorial Gymnasium.—The new Memorial Gymnasium is
situated between the athletic field and the University golf links, and offers
facilities unsurpassed in any American university. The main exercise room is
180 by 96 feet, with a 10-foot running track gallery of 12 laps to the mile. There
is also an auxiliary gymnasium 30 by 70 feet. The swimming pool is 30 by 75
feet, with a gallery for spectators. A general locker room provides for 1,700
full-length steel lockers, with two shower rooms. There are also spacious locker
rooms and baths for home and visiting teams as well as special rooms for boxing,
fencing, and wrestling, and three handball courts. The administration wing includes
offices for the staff, examination rooms and a large lecture room.

Twenty-four excellent tennis courts grouped around the new Memorial
Gymnasium will be open to the students of the Summer Quarter. A small maintenance
fee will be charged for their use.

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.

Before leaving, each student should file at the post office his or her forwarding
address; otherwise, mail without return address which comes after the student
has departed, will be sent to the dead letter office.

Teachers' Positions.—The Appointment Committee of the Summer Quarter
receives demands for teachers each year. This committee is glad to have
well qualified teachers who are in attendance upon the Summer Quarter file their
applications. There will be no charge for this service except a small registration
fee of $1.00 to assist in the expenses of the Committee.

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 Dean of the Summer Quarter
the general average grade of each student in each course. Absence or delayed
entrance will be counted against the student. All examinations must be held under


25

Page 25
the Honor System. A report of each course completed will be signed by the
Registrar of the Summer Quarter and mailed to the student. Each student who
wishes his or her report sent should file with the Registrar not later than July 20,
the First Term, or August 17, the Second Term, a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Entrance Credit.—Where college courses in the Summer Quarter are
taken to absolve conditions or to meet entrance requirements, no more than 3 units
of entrance credit may be obtained in a full quarter.

College Credit.

I. 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 Quarter.

(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 Quarter.

(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of courses in the
Summer Quarter in lieu of the entrance examinations in the same subjects, provided
that in his judgment the courses are equivalent to those accepted for entrance
to the University of Virginia.

(c) The Dean of the College will accept for degree credit certificates
of completion of Summer Quarter courses in the University of Virginia, provided
that such Summer Quarter courses be approved by the University of Virginia
professors concerned and the University Senate as the full equivalent in character
and scope of the corresponding courses in the winter session of the University.

(d) Any course for which credit on a baccalaureate degree is allowed in this
University must be a complete course, i. e., not a fraction of a course. For
example, one or two terms only of a three-term course cannot be counted toward
a degree. Similarly, when work is done elsewhere, one semester alone of a two-semester
course cannot be counted toward a degree. However, combinations of
fractions of courses may be allowed to count as complete courses with the approval
of the Schools and Departments concerned.

All courses for which degree credit is designated in this catalogue have been
thus approved and will be accepted by the Dean for such credit as is indicated
in the description of each course.

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

(g) Every applicant for a degree in the Summer Quarter must spend the
last three quarters in residence at this University.

The above regulations regarding college credit hold also for the Department
of Education.

II. Credit from Other Colleges.—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 signature of an official of the candidate's college, must
specify the character and content of the courses passed by the candidate, and must
give his grades. The final 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 45 session-hours of work done elsewhere, and any candidate
who receives this maximum amount of credit can count among the remaining
15 session-hours required for his degree only the credit value of the courses he
has passed as a resident student in the Summer Quarter. Every applicant for a
degree in the Summer Quarter must spend the last three quarters in residence
at this University.
