HISTORY

The Curry Memorial School of Education was founded in 1905 as one
of the academic schools of the University. It was endowed by gifts of $100,000
from John D. Rockefeller and $50,000 from the General Education Board,
and was named in honor of Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the Southern educator.
There were originally two professorships in the School, the Curry Memorial
Professorship of Education and the Professorship of Secondary Education.
In 1914 a chair of Educational Psychology and Principles of Teaching was
added to the School, and two years later a Professorship of School Administration
was established.

In 1919 the School was organized into a Department of the University,
with four professorships, and was placed upon a professional basis similar
to that of the Departments of Law, Medicine and Engineering. The relation
of the Department of Education to the various academic schools of the
University remains close, however, since the academic training of students
of Education is obtained in the academic schools, and courses in Education
are credited toward the academic degrees.

In the spring of 1928 plans were matured to provide more adequate
facilities for observation, practice teaching, and experimental studies. The
school authorities of the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle
joined with the University of Virginia in establishing a program of experimental
education and teacher-training. After the preliminary program
of organization had been approved, the General Education Board of New
York City granted to the University a subsidy of $20,000 a year for a period
of two years to forward the program and make possible its operation for the
session of 1928-1929. The Rector and Visitors of the University made a supplementary
appropriation of $5,000 annually for a period of two years, thereby
giving the Department additional funds amounting to $50,000 for the biennium,
1928-1930. Since 1930 all funds for the Department have been carried in
the regular University budget.

PURPOSE

The rapid development of educational science and practice has made it
necessary that ample provision be made for the professional training of those
who expect to teach or to administer school affairs. The Department of
Education, therefore, aims to provide the following:

1. An opportunity for the study of Education as an important function
of society.

2. To give the necessary technical training for teaching and administration
to:

  • a. University students, with or without experience, who intend to
    teach;

  • b. Secondary school principals;

  • c. Normal school teachers and administrators;

  • d. College teachers of Education;

  • e. School superintendents, supervisors, and other executives of schools
    of all grades in cities, counties, and states.

3. To develop scientific methods of testing school work and to furnish
demonstrations of the way in which these methods may best be applied, thus
developing a spirit of observation and experimentation tending to increase our
knowledge of the science and art of education.

4. To become a center of educational influence to which teachers of all
grades and kinds may come for information and educational guidance.

5. To furnish to the general public information on any phase of school
organization, administration, and supervision, thus helping to create a clearer
general understanding about Education and the State.

PEABODY HALL

Peabody Hall, the Education Building, was named in honor of George
Peabody, who in 1867 made his great gift to the cause of education in the
South. The building was made possible through a gift of $40,000 from the
trustees of the Peabody Education Fund. This amount was supplemented
by an appropriation of $12,000 from the Rector and Visitors of the University.
The building was completed in 1912, and is the home of the Curry Memorial
Department of Education.

The plans were drawn by a modern school architect, and approved by
some of the leading authorities on school architecture in this country. It is,
therefore, a model of excellence in this regard. It is one of the best equipped
buildings in the University, and has ample classroom and laboratory facilities,
and an excellent auditorium equipped with a modern motion picture
machine. Modern requirements in heating, lighting and ventilation are
exemplified in its construction without sacrificing conformity to the general
style of classic architecture prevailing in the University.

Adequate provision is made for a Departmental library, seminar rooms,
classrooms, psychological laboratory, and offices for the administrative officers
and teaching staff of the Department.

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. The library was made possible through the
gift of Mrs. Anna Tuttle Heck of Professor Heck's private library containing
approximately 2,000 well-selected books on Education, and the transfer of
all books on Education from the General Library of the University. Splendid
equipment was procured through a gift of money from students in Education,
the Education Club and friends of Professor Heck. A gift of $3,000
from Mr. Alfred W. Erickson of New York City has enabled the Department
so to strengthen its professional library as to offer very superior facilities to
its rapidly growing student body, by making possible the enrichment of every
course now offered. At present the library consists of approximately ten
thousand select books covering most fields of Education, a complete file of
publications of the United States Bureau of Education, various national,
state and foreign documents, state school laws, annual reports of state superintendents
of public instruction, city superintendents' reports, etc. Files of

the leading educational magazines are available for free use of the students.
Exhibits of elementary and high school texts for comparative studies are
made available through the generosity of various publishers.

GENERAL REGULATIONS

REGISTRATION

Registration.—Applicants seeking admission to the Department of Education
must present themselves to the Dean at some time during the first three
days of the session. All women students must first register at the office of
the Dean of Women, 16 East Lawn.

Delayed Registration.—Any student who fails to present himself for
registration during the first three days of the session will not be admitted
unless he can explain his delay in a manner satisfactory to the Dean and
will be charged a delayed registration fee.

Admission to the Department of Education During the Session.—No applicant
for admission to the Department of Education who has not been previously
registered therein will be admitted after October 1, unless the Committee
on Admissions is satisfied that, in view of his record, he is likely to prove successful
with the work undertaken in spite of the handicap of late entrance.

Registration after the Christmas Recess and the March Examination
Period.
—After the Christmas Recess and the March examination period, every
student is required to register by attending the first meeting of each class and
laboratory section for which he is enrolled. No further formality is necessary.
Any student failing to register thus will be required to pay the delayed
registration fee, and will be liable to penalties imposed for unexcused absences.
But if the delay is due to illness or other providential cause the Dean
is authorized to remit the fee.

RESIDENCE AND ATTENDANCE

The Academic Year begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth
of September and continues for thirty-nine weeks. Thanksgiving Day and
Jefferson Day are holidays, and there is a Christmas recess beginning on the
last week-day before the twenty-third of December and closing on the evening
of the second of January.

Attendance is required of each student throughout the entire session,
with the exception of holidays, unless he receives permission to be temporarily
absent, or to withdraw before the close of the session. While in residence
each student is required to attend regularly all lectures and other prescribed
exercises in the course which he pursues, or else suffer such penalties as
may be imposed for unexcused absences.

Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written consent
of the Dean of the Department of Education.


8

Page 8

Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted by the departmental faculty 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.

Absence from Examinations.—Written examinations are an essential part
of the work of every course in the University, and attendance upon them
is required of every student. Absence may be excused only on the ground
of sickness on the day of examination (attested by a physician's certificate),
or for other imperative cause which may be approved by the several faculties
of the University.

Special Examinations are granted only upon prompt application therefor,
and in case the applicant's absence from the regular examination has been
excused.

Honor System.—All examinations are held under the Honor System, and
an unpledged paper is counted a total failure. In matters of class standing
as well, students are expected to regard themselves as governed by the law
of honor.

Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants and
others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students. The license
to contract debts, which the President is authorized to grant, is limited (except
when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in writing) to cases of
urgent necessity.

CONDUCT

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 objection to his conduct and afforded an opportunity of
explanation and defense.

The publication or sale of anonymous publications is forbidden.

Motor driven vehicles either owned or operated by students are prohibited
from parking in the roadways or elsewhere on the University grounds
between the hours of 9:00 a. m. and 3:30 p. m. At no time may they park in
the alleys, near fire hydrants, or on curves. However, students suffering from
serious physical disability may be granted permits to park.

MEDICAL ATTENDANCE

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 University Physician; and, if necessary, to nursing in the
University Hospital at a reasonable charge for his maintenance while there.
This exemption from charge does not apply to cases requiring surgical operation,
treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat, or to constitutional dis-
rders from which the student in question was suffering at the time of his
coming to the University. Nor is the University responsible for the expense
incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated by severe
illness of students, or through the maintenance of quarantine precautions in
contagious cases. Students who take the responsibility of boarding at houses
not approved by the Board of Health forfeit the right of medical attendance.
Any student sent to the University Hospital by the advice and under the care
f a physician other than the University Physician will be required to pay
the regular hospital charges for private patients.

EXPENSES

Payment of Fees.—When the aggregate charge for University fee, tuition
fee, laboratory fees and room rent does not exceed $50 for the session,
the total amount shall be paid upon registration.

If said fees aggregate more than $50, but do not exceed $100, one-half
thereof shall be paid upon registration and the remainder at the beginning
f the second term.

When the fees aggregate more than $100, payment shall be made one-third
upon registration; one-third at the opening of the second term and the
remainder at the opening of the third term.

If any payment remain unpaid for fifteen days after the date on which
it is due, the Bursar shall immediately notify the Dean of the Department
of the delinquency, and such student shall by him be required at once to
cease attending lectures, using laboratories, library, gymnasium, athletic
grounds or buildings, boarding at the dining hall, and making use of any other
privileges as a student until his financial relations with the University have
been arranged satisfactorily with the Bursar.

Return of Fees.—A student withdrawing within five days after registering
shall have his fees refunded in full, except the sum of $5 to cover cost
of registration, and his name shall be stricken from the rolls.

If he withdraw or is dropped from the rolls for any cause after the fifth
day of the term and before the middle thereof, his fees shall be returned
pro rata.

If he withdraw or be dropped from the rolls for any cause after the middle
of any term no refund shall be made for that term, except in case of sickness
when the refund shall be pro-rated upon certificate of the University
Physician or other reputable medical practitioner.

In any case a minimum charge of $5 shall be made to cover cost of
registration.

Laboratory fees shall be refunded upon statement of professor in charge
except where the withdrawal is within five days after registering.

Regulation Concerning Registration as Virginia Student.—In order to
be considered a Virginia student, it is necessary that the applicant's parents
be domiciled in the State if he be under twenty-one years of age; or if
he has attained his majority, that he himself be domiciled in said State; and
that either his parents or the applicant for admission shall have been bona
fide
taxpayers in the State of Virginia for at least two years prior to said
application.

Sons of Regular Officers of the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Coast Guard, or Public Health Service,
whether on the active or retired list,
irrespective of the location of their posts of duty, are accorded the privilege
of registering under the rules applicable to the registration of Virginia students.

Superintendents and Teachers of Public Schools Exempt from Fees.
White male teachers and superintendents of the public schools of Virginia
will be admitted, during the last three months of the session, to the Academic
Schools of the University without payment of fees (except those
charged in laboratory courses), upon presentation of certificates that they
have been teachers in the public schools of the State during the year. Applicants
for admission as teachers are required to send in their names to
the President of the University not later than March 5.

Ministers of Religion and Candidates for the Ministry.—Ministers of religion
may attend any of the Academic Schools of the University without
payment of the tuition fee. The same privilege will be extended to any young
man who submits testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the ministry,
and unable to meet without aid the expenses of an education.

These charges are for three or more courses. For one course the student will pay
one-third, and for two courses, one-half of the University fee and tuition, for the session.

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 nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here University, tuition, athletic and Topics
fees, laboratory fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing,
traveling expenses, or pocket money. For each department 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.

                               
VIRGINIANS  NON-VIRGINIANS 
Low  Average  Liberal  Low  Average  Liberal 
University Fee  $ 50.00  $ 50.00  $ 50.00  $ 60.00  $ 60.00  $ 60.00

The Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships in the Department of Education:
thirty scholarships annually, twenty each with a value of $200, and ten
each with a value of $100, were established in 1918 by action of the General
Assembly of Virginia. The holder must be a Virginian in need of financial
assistance in order to attend the University; and he must pledge himself to
teach or engage in some other form of public school work in Virginia for
at least two years, or, failing this, to repay to the University the full value
of the scholarship. Blank forms of application may be had upon request to
Dean John L. Manahan, Chairman of the Committee on State Teachers'


12

Page 12
Scholarships. Appointments prior to September 1 of each year are made
upon the recommendation of division superintendents. Any scholarships unassigned
on September 1 are open to applicants from the State at large.

In addition to the Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships, there are a
number of other scholarships in the University available for students of
Education. A detailed description of them is given in the General Catalogue
of the University.

Student Self-Help.—The University maintains a Bureau of Student Self-Help
for the benefit of students who wish to obtain remunerative employment
while pursuing their studies. Opportunities for employment are not
infrequent, but no new student should attempt to attend the University unless
he has sufficient private resources to defray at least half of the expenses
of his first session. After a student has arrived at the University, the Bureau
will make every effort to find suitable work for him, but no assurance of
employment can be given until after the student's arrival.

Students who desire the assistance of the Bureau are invited to apply
for information by addressing the Director, Box 1487, University, Virginia.

Loans will be provided for deserving students.

BOARD AND LODGING

Dormitories.—Students may reside in the University dormitories, in their
homes, or in private houses approved by the President. The President will
withdraw from the approved list any house in which the regulations as
to the conduct of students are not observed. Any change of residence during
the session should be reported at the office of the Registrar.

The Halls are reserved for first-year college and engineering students
from high schools or preparatory schools who are required to live in them
unless excused for special reasons by the Dean of the University.

Supervision is provided by Counselors living in each unit of the Halls.
These Counselors are responsible to the Dean for maintenance of order and
the enforcement of University regulations, and are prepared to be of assistance
to the occupants in an advisory capacity.

For rules governing the rental and occupancy of University dormitories,
and the rates charged for the same, see below. For list of private lodging
houses, with rates, apply to Bursar.

The University Dormitories

The dormitories of the University of Virginia consist of The Halls, East
Lawn and West Lawn, East Range and West Range, Dawson's Row, and
Randall Building.

Hot water heat and electric light are furnished throughout the dormitories.

Each occupant of a dormitory room must provide a pillow, pillow cases,
single sheets, blankets, towels, etc., and whatever rugs, curtains, etc., he
may desire.


13

Page 13

Description and Rates

The Halls.—The most comfortable, best-equipped, and most modern rooming
accommodations in the University or in the city are to be found in the
new University dormitories, erected in 1929. This group of eight buildings
stands on the crest of the slope west of Monroe Hill, with an outlook on the
Ragged Mountains and the range of the Blue Ridge, and is within less than
three minutes walking distance from the gymnasium, the academic, engineering
and law class-rooms, and the University Commons.

These eight buildings are divided into twelve separate units, known as
Halls, each with its individual entrance, and each bearing the name of some
professor, distinguished in the history of the University. The buildings are
of three stories and of full fire-proof brick and cement construction throughout.
They provide one hundred and fifty-three two-room apartments, of
living-room and bedroom, each apartment intended to accommodate two
students.

All of the rooms are approximately fifteen feet square. Each living-room
has an open fire-place and is furnished with a desk with drawers, a table
with drawer, a steel waste-basket, two rocking-chairs, two straight chairs and
floor-plugs for reading lamps. Each bedroom has two large built-in clothes
closets, and is furnished with two single beds, two chiffoniers, and two
straight chairs. All furniture is new, of excellent quality and attractive design,
the bed-springs and mattresses of especially high grade.

There is an average of one bathroom to every five students. The bathrooms,
each equipped with showers and an individual built-in steel locker and
a medicine chest with mirror for each student using it, are so placed that
every bedroom, with one sole exception, opens directly into a bath.

Telephone service is provided in each Hall. Trunks and packing cases
will not be permitted in the apartments of The Halls dormitories. They
must be delivered to the trunk room in each Hall from which the student
will remove the contents to his room. Trunks and packing cases will be
stored in dry racks located in the basement. Each apartment will ordinarily
be occupied by two students. The rental for the nine months of the regular
session is $125 per student (or $250 for each apartment).

East Lawn and West Lawn are of one-story brick construction. They contain
thirty-eight rooms, each approximately twelve feet square, located between
the pavilions and opening into colonnades running the entire length
of "The Lawn." The rental of twenty-seven of the rooms, for the session,
is $125 for one occupant or $170 for two occupants. The remaining nine
rooms, called Bachelors' Row, rent for $115 for one occupant, or $160 for
two occupants. These rooms are reserved for applicants for senior degrees.

East Range and West Range consist of forty-six one-story brick rooms,
approximately twelve feet square, built in sections running the entire length
of "The Ranges," and opening into arcades. In addition, there are two two-story
brick houses called the Old Gymnasium and the Club House, containing
fourteen rooms, approximately fifteen feet square. The rental of the
rooms on the Ranges, for the session, is $125 for one occupant or $170 for
two. The rooms in the Old Gymnasium and the Club House rent for $80
for one occupant or $110 for two.


14

Page 14

Dawson's Row consists of a series of four eight-room two-story brick
houses, and a six-room one-story brick house, located on the southwest side of the
grounds. The rooms are approximately fifteen feet square. The rental of
fifty-one of the rooms, for the session, is $95 for one occupant or $130 for
two. Four of the rooms rent for $60 for one occupant or $80 for two.

All of the rooms on the Lawns and Ranges and in Dawson's Row are
provided with running cold water. For each of the Lawns and Ranges one
bath-house is provided and there is a bath-house in Dawson's Row.

Randall Building.—A two-story brick building, located at the south end of
East Range, containing thirty-one single rooms ten by fourteen, ten by fifteen
and ten by sixteen; eight double rooms fourteen by fifteen, fifteen by fifteen
and fifteen by seventeen; one double room with study-room attached. Single
rooms rent at $80 to $90; double rooms $125 for one occupant or $150 for
two occupants. Double room with study-room attached, for one occupant
$135, or $180 for two occupants.

The furnishing of the rooms on the Lawns and Ranges, in Dawson's
Row and Randall Building is as follows: For one occupant—an enameled iron
bed with comfortable springs and mattresses, a chiffonier, a table, a straight
chair and a rocking-chair. For two occupants—two single beds or one double-deck
bed with springs and mattresses, one chiffonier, one desk or two tables,
one rocking-chair and two straight chairs.

BOARD

Board.—Students may board at the University Commons, at their homes,
or in private boarding houses or restaurants approved by the President. For
cost of board at the University Commons, see below. For list of private
boarding houses, with rates, apply to the Bursar.

University Commons

Meals may be had at the University Commons, a handsome building overlooking
the McIntire Theatre and within two minutes walk of the dormitories.
The interior of the beautiful panelled main room makes a charming atmosphere
for dining and the furnishings are attractive. The meals are prepared by an
experienced chef under the supervision of a trained dietitian and careful attention
is given to quality and service. Board is supplied at cost and it is
expected that the rate will in no event exceed $25 per month. Since the
capacity of the Commons limits the number accommodated to about 350, it
is essential that students make early application for reservation to Dr. E. A.
Kincaid, Manager, 15 Monroe Hall.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

JEFFERSON SOCIETY

Connected with the University is the Jefferson Society founded in 1825 to
provide for common improvement in debate, to promote general culture among
its members and the student body, and to drill its members in all those exercises
which strengthen for the free duties of citizenship.

WOMAN'S SELF-GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

The Association includes all women students of the University of Virginia,
and exists to bring about a greater unity and mutual helpfulness among
the women of the University, and to promote and maintain the highest
standards of University life.

ATHLETICS

It is the objective of the University to offer every student an opportunity
to engage in sports according to individual interest and ability. Many intramural
activities are supported enthusiastically by students who find therein
stimulating contacts, exercise, and associations that might otherwise be denied
them. The University is represented in intercollegiate athletics by both
varsity and first-year teams in football, baseball, basketball, track, boxing,
tennis, golf and swimming. Its athletic plant is one of the finest in the South.
Memorial Gymnasium contains three basketball courts, a swimming pool,
a running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and adequate locker facilities,
in addition to equipment necessary to gymnastic training. Scott Stadium,
which seats 22,000 spectators, is considered one of the most beautiful in the
country. Lambeth Field has excellent facilities for baseball and track.
Twenty-two tennis courts and four intramural fields are located near Memorial
Gymnasium.

All intercollegiate athletics, physical education activities, and intramural
sports are under the supervision of the Director of Athletics and Physical
Education, who is responsible under the President for the administration of
the entire sports program of the University. An Athletic Council (the 3-3-3)
composed of three faculty representatives, three representatives of the Alumni
Association, and three student representatives, serves in an official advisory
capacity in the administration of athletics. At least four meetings of this
Council are held each year.

STUDENT UNION

The Student Union was organized in 1932. The University has taken over
Madison Hall for use as a center of student activities under the supervision of
the Union of which all students are considered members. The affairs of the
Union are conducted by the Student Senate. Facilities are offered for meetings
of student organizations and groups and a social program is carried forward
throughout the session.

In the reading room are newspapers from many of the cities in the South
and East. Recreation rooms are also provided. Offices of College Topics, the


16

Page 16
Magazine, Corks and Curls, the Dulaney Memorial Library and the Student
Self Help Bureau are located in the building.

PUBLICATIONS

College Topics is a tri-weekly newspaper published by the students and
devoted to the interests of the University at large.

Corks and Curls is the University Annual, its aim being to present some
record of the scholastic, religious, athletic and social activities of the college
year. Its publication is in the hands of a chartered corporation formed by
the fraternities and literary societies of the University.

The University of Virginia Magazine is a literary journal published seven
times a year by students and is sponsored by the Jefferson Society.

SECONDARY EDUCATION IN VIRGINIA

The Department of Education publishes under the editorship of Dr. W.
R. Smithey, Professor of Secondary Education, a high school quarterly called
Secondary Education in Virginia, devoted to the encouragement of research
in Virginia secondary school problems for both public and private schools
and to the reporting of research through its columns. This publication is
the official organ of the Department of Education, and addressed primarily
to the solution of problems of secondary education in Virginia and its columns
are open to all workers in this field. It aims to encourage educational research
in secondary education.

RELIGIOUS WORK

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED

William Kyle Smith  General Secretary 
William Royall Smithey  Chairman, Board of Directors 

History.—The Young Men's Christian Association of the University of
Virginia which has its headquarters on the second floor of Madison Hall
was founded October 12, 1858, during the period of the University's expansion
and reformation. Bruce, in his "History of the University of Virginia,"
states: "The spirit of reformation was expressed in (1) the abolition of
the uniform law, and also the law that required the students to leave their
beds at dawn; (2) the adoption of the Honor System; (3) and the organization
of the Young Men's Christian Association." It was the first college
to adopt the constitution of the Y. M. C. A., and thus has the honor of being
the oldest college association in the world.

Object.—The object of this Association, as set forth generally in the
Charter, is more specifically stated as follows:— to foster and promote


17

Page 17
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.

Discussion groups are addressed by prominent men and faculty members
conduct regularly increasing numbers of special groups as interests are developed.
Members of the Association work with the Boy Scout troops and
cooperate with community agencies in other forms of welfare work. 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. Handbooks and student directories to the number
of more than 2,000 are distributed each fall. Various conferences are attended
by delegated representatives from the Association both in the State
and outside when possible.

Equipment.—Through the munificence of Mrs. William E. Dodge and
family, of New York City, the Association possesess 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.

The budget for the support of the Association work is supplied by the income
from a small endowment, the Chapel fund and rents.

THE UNIVERSITY CHAPEL

The handsome Gothic chapel was erected upon the University grounds by
the voluntary gifts of students, alumni, members of the faculty and other
friends.

REGULATIONS

(1) Definition of a Course.—An academic course is the work covered in
an organized, scheduled class, meeting at least three hours a week throughout
the session. Beginners' courses in foreign languages and certain first-year
courses in mathematics may meet four or five hours weekly. Science courses
with three hours of class work and six hours of laboratory work weekly are
designated double-courses and are counted as two courses.

(2) Maximum and Minimum Number of Courses to be Carried.—Each
student is required to carry five courses except under the conditions stated
hereafter:


18

Page 18

1. A student on probation may carry only four courses.

2. Special permission to carry a reduced number of courses may be
granted by the Dean for adequate reason, such as outside remunerative work,
ill health, etc.

3. A student who has passed all of his courses in any term may carry
an additional course in the succeeding term.

4. A student may carry an additional course if he is in his graduating
year and needs for his degree only one course in excess of the number for
which he is otherwise eligible.

(3) Grade.—The grade of a college 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 exercise) 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 college 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 enforced
withdrawal from the Department.

2. A student will be placed on probation if, in any term, he does not pass
at least two courses, and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses, he
must, in order to avoid probation, pass at least two courses in excess of the
number from which he is excluded.

A student will be suspended if, in any term, he does not pass at least
one course, and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses, he must, in
order to escape suspension, pass at least one course in excess of the number
from which he is excluded.

3. A student on probation must carry at least four courses or be suspended.
A student not on probation must carry at least five courses or be
placed on probation. (But see (2) above.)

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.


19

Page 19

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 passing of one year-course,
or the equivalent, 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 will not accept remediable defects of
vision or outside remunerative work as excuses for failure. A student is
expected to have visual defects corrected, and, if much outside work is done,
to carry a reduced schedule of courses.

(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 student who fails on the Final Comprehensive
Examination for his degree may take a re-examination at the end of the
succeeding session, on recommendation of the Academic School concerned,
without further class attendance. Only one re-examination is permitted unless
the student attends the University for a full session after his failure.
There are no re-examinations on the work of separate courses.

(8) Reports.—Reports are sent at the end of each term to the parent
or guardian of each student.

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) Voluntary Withdrawal.—Voluntary withdrawal from the University
requires the written consent of the Dean, 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. A student who
withdraws immediately before an examination period, except for providential
reasons, is not permitted to re-enter the University for the succeeding term.


20

Page 20

(10) 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.

(11) 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.

(12) 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.

Any student not on probation is allowed 2 absences without penalty each
term in each course, and a student who passed, in the preceding term, on all
courses taken, aggregating not less than five, is allowed 4 absences without
penalty each term in each course. But the performance of written work
and laboratory work is not affected by the allowance of absences without
penalty.

Each unexcused absence (in excess of absences without penalty) from
a class exercise in any term will cause one point to be deducted from the
student's term grade.

A total of more than 10 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 a student
incurs attendance probation while on 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 or
to holders of Intermediate Honors.

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.

(13) The Dean's List.—Any student who passed, in the preceding term,
on all courses taken, aggregating not less than five, with an average grade
on all courses of at least 85 per cent., will be placed on the Dean's List.

A student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting
absence from classes, nor does absence from any class entail on such student
any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence alone. But the
performance of written work and laboratory work is not affected by these
regulations.


21

Page 21

(14) Physical Education Requirement.—All first-year and second-year
students in the College of Arts and Sciences, except professional students of
Architecture, are required to take the course in Physical Education unless
excused on a physician's certificate.

(15) Schedule of Qualifying Examinations.—(See Requirements for
Degrees.) The examinations will be held at 2:30 p. m., on the days indicated,
in the first week of lectures.

English A1: Monday and Tuesday—Room 11, Cabell Hall.

Mathematics A: Trigonometry, Monday; Analytical Geometry, Tuesday—
Room 11, Mechanical Laboratory.

that language and will receive credit toward a degree for the B course.

COÖPERATIVE 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.


22

Page 22

D. To conduct such experimental studies as the wisdom of the critic
teacher, the principal of the high school and the superintendent of schools
may deem advisable for the improvement of the school. Proposals for all
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.

COÖPERATIVE 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

23

Page 23

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.

COURSES IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

Students who have completed two years of work in a standard Teachers'
College or equivalent, thus qualifying for the Normal Professional Certificate
as issued by the Virginia State Board of Education, may meet the requirements
for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, with a major in Elementary
Education, so far as professional courses are concerned by taking
such courses from those listed as the Dean of the Department of Education
may specify. Ordinarily six session-hours of credit in professional courses in
Elementary Education offered in this University will be required. Exceptions
to this may be made in the case of students who have already accumulated
credits representing well rounded preparation for elementary
school work. Qualified students may take one graduate course in meeting
the requirements. It should be clearly understood that students expecting
to major in Elementary Education should have already obtained credit for
Practice Teaching and for such courses in Public School Music, Fine and
Industrial Arts and Physical Education, as are required of elementary teachers
by the Virginia State Board of Education under present certificate requirements.
Students who do not have credit for such courses may take any or
all of them in the Summer Quarter of the University.

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 school 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 degree of Bachelor of Science in Education will receive
the Collegiate Professional Certificate, the highest form of certificate


24

Page 24
for teachers issued by the Virginia 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 three full
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.

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. (With special permission,
an additional hour may be carried each term.)

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.

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 15 and ends July 25. Second Term begins July
27 and ends August 29.


25

Page 25

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, August 28, 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, 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 appointment
should be addressed to the Bureau of Appointments, A. M. Jarman, 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


26

Page 26
`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
courses in Education, teachers, principals and superintendents now in service,
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.

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

For Undergraduates

Education B1: History of Education: First term: Ancient Educational
Ideals.
Brief consideration is given to the beginnings of education among
primitive societies and to types of oriental education. Most attention will be
devoted to Greek and Roman education and to education among the early
Christians. At the end of the course consideration will be given to the
problem of education in Western Europe presented by the military and
political supremacy of the barbarian hordes and of the first attempts to
educate them. Second term: Medieval and Renaissance Education. This
course will begin where the first term ended, that is at the time when
the barbarians in western Europe, under the auspices of the church and the
institution of chivalry, were gradually mastering Latin grammar, rhetoric
and the social virtues. The date, somewhat arbitrary, is 1000 A. D. From
this period the course extends roughly to the year 1650 and will consider
education during the late middle ages and the Renaissance period. During
the middle ages, special emphasis will be placed on the scholastic movement,
the rediscovery of Greek philosophy, the rise and influence of mendicant orders
and rise and growth of universities. The Renaissance will be interpreted
broadly to include three important educational developments: humanism, reformation
and counter-reformation education and the scientific revolution.
Third term: History of Modern Education. Completes the review of western
education. While the study of European education will be continued, special
attention will be directed to the history of education in the United States.
Among major topics considered will be the following: the disciplinary theory
of education, scientific education, the psychological movement in education,
nationalism and education, and finally, social theory and education. (B.A.
or B.S. credit, 1 course.) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9:30 to 10:30; P. H. 3.

Associate Professor Zehmer.

Education B2: Educational Psychology: Psychology B1 prerequisite.
Mental ability and its development. Quantitative aspects of the subject will
be stressed, and the classroom work will be supplemented by practice in mental
measurement and experiments in learning. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 1 course.)
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 10:30 to 11:30; P. H. B.

Professor Ferguson.

(The courses in elementary education are designed to serve the needs of
administrators, supervisors and teachers. Due to the fact that many students
come to the University with some previous professional training in the field
of elementary education it is desirable that the courses here be so arranged
that students may round out their professional work without having to
duplicate courses already taken elsewhere. In order that this may be done
students may be allowed, with the permission of the instructors, to substitute
