Each person who makes a reservation in the dormitory
should read very carefully the information given
below:

1. Applications for rooms in the dormitories must be accompanied by a
retaining fee of $1.00 per person, the remainder to be paid on arrival at the
University.

2. Keys for the rooms will be available at the Summer Quarter Office. One
dollar deposit is required for keys to the Halls and a twenty-five cent deposit for
all keys to Ranges and refund will be made only when key is returned by person
paying deposit. Each student should be prepared to pay in full for the room in
order to secure his or her room key. It is preferable that a check be sent in
advance so that the student may have a receipt to present for the key. Checks
should be made payable to the University of Virginia and sent to the Secretary
of the Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University, Virginia.

3. Rooms will be ready for occupancy June 14.

4. If a room is not claimed by the first day of instruction, and no notice has
been received by the Secretary, the reservation will be cancelled and the room
rented to another person.

5. The right to occupy a room is not transferable, so that it is not possible
for any student to hold a room for another person. If the occupant's name does
not appear on the room book at the office of the Summer Quarter no reservation
is considered.

6. Individual preferences in regard to room-mates will be complied with,
when possible, and for this reason we urge that the name of room-mate and
his or her address be given when application for reservation is made. If this
information is not given the Secretary will assign someone to fill the vacancy.
This is important in the event you wish to select your room-mate. This year
there will be a charge of fifty cents for any person desiring to change an original
assignment. Change of address is confusing both in the administration office and
also to the Postoffice and many unnecessary changes have been granted in previous
years.

7. Each occupant of a dormitory room must provide pillow, linens and
whatever rugs or curtains may be desired. Cooking is not allowed in the dormitory.
The University has a very limited number of pillows which may be rented
but students are requested to bring their own if possible.

8. Mail should be addressed to the room number with the name of the dormitory
and it will be delivered in mail receptacles in the hallway for ordinary
incoming mail. Registered and insured mail for the Halls will be delivered to
the Manager's Office, Venable Basement, and from there to the addressee.

9. Students who wish to remain for the Second Term of the Summer Quarter
should sign up for the rooms at the Summer Quarter Office. Those who wish
to occupy the same room for both terms should make reservation before July 15.
After this date reservations will be considered in order of application.

10. Refund for retaining fee sent in prior to opening of session will not be
made if request is received after June 8. No refund will be allowed for key,
pillow or bulb for the First Term if returned to the office after noon, Saturday,

July 27 and no refund will be allowed for the Second Term unless key, pillow
or bulb is returned by noon, August 31. Each student must call in person for
refund.

11. Students must vacate rooms reserved for the First Term only, by noon,
Saturday, July 27 and the second term students must vacate not later than 4
o'clock, Saturday, August 31.

BOARD AT THE COMMONS

The University Commons, operated by the University, is under the management
of Dr. E. A. Kincaid of the McIntire School of Commerce. All meals
are prepared by an experienced chef under the supervision of a trained dietitian.
Only the best materials are purchased and meals are prepared under the most
sanitary conditions, thus assuring substantial, wholesome and appetizing food.
Moreover, the Commons is not operated for profit. Hence it is possible to offer
students a lower rate than can be had elsewhere. The University Dormitories will
make a flat rate for board and room for the session which will be well below
that for equal accommodation off the campus. Last session the rate for board
was $31.50 for the First Term of six weeks and $26.50 for the Second Term of
five weeks. Inasmuch as the accommodations of the Commons are quite limited,
it is desirable for those who plan to attend the Summer Quarter to make reservations
in advance, thus assuring meals of high quality at a low cost in a charming
room in the coolest building on the campus. The location is convenient for
both class rooms and dormitories.

Private Lodging and Boarding Houses.—There are a number of lodging
and boarding houses situated off the campus. All houses accommodating summer
students must be on our approved list. A list will be sent upon application.

APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES

The figures in the following table may be taken as a fairly accurate approximation
of necessary expenses for a session of six weeks. Necessary expenses
are reckoned as University and tuition fees, laboratory fees, lodging and board.
If a student shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest
economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below the estimate.

Medical Fee.—The medical fee of 75 cents which is charged each person
who registers each term 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 9:00 to 10:00 A. M., 4:00 to
5:00 P. M., and Saturdays 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.

Teacher's 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.


23

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 18, at 8:30 A. M. There will be no classes on Saturdays
in the first term except Saturday, June 29, and Saturday, July 13. There will be
holiday on July 4. 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 19, 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, August
30, 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 14, 15, 17, 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.


24

Page 24

A delayed registration fee of $1.00 will be charged all persons after June 18.

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 25,
except a certificate of attendance.

Registration by Mail.—Registration may be completed by mail to June 10.
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 in 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 130,000 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 dates stamped in the book. Prompt return not later than the date on which


25

Page 25
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 Students'
Union, 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 the
students to make Madison Hall "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.

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


26

Page 26
entrance will be counted against the student. All examinations must be held
under 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 19, the First Term, or August 16, 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.


27

Page 27

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.

Students from Virginia who do not teach pay $5.00 registration and $15.00 tuition.
