APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES

The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of six weeks. Necessary
expenses are reckoned as University and tuition fees, laboratory fees, lodging,
board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling expenses, or
pocket money. Three estimates are given—a low, an average, and a liberal
estimate. The difference in the three depends on the difference of expenditure
for board, lodging, books, and laundry—in other words, on the scale
of living of the individual student. If a student shares a room with another
student, and practices the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses
below the estimate.

Reduced Railroad Rates.—Reduced rates on the round trip identification
plan will be authorized from points on the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Norfolk and Western Railroads and from Southeastern territory with the
exception of stations on the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad and the
Winston-Salem Southbound Railway. The basis will be one and one-half
fare for the round trip, minimum excursion fare $1.00, and tickets will be
sold only to students and members of their families upon presentation of
identification certificates to ticket agents at time of purchase of tickets.

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

Tickets will be sold June 12th to 18th, inclusive, and July 24th to July
30th, inclusive, final limit of all tickets September 5th, tickets to be validated
by the regular ticket agents of the Charlottesville terminal lines over which
such tickets read before return journey is commenced.

Application for identification certificates should be made to Secretary,
Summer Quarter, Box 149, University, Virginia.

Fees for Virginia Teachers and Students.—Tuition is entirely free to all
Virginia teachers in all the regular courses, leading to certification. No student,


20

Page 20
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 to all who take them. The
fee for each is designated in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory courses
will also be charged all students who register in them.

Students from Virginia who are not teachers will be charged the registration
fee of $5.00 and $15.00 tuition.

The term "Virginia teachers" includes those who are now teaching in
Virginia or whose last teaching was in Virginia. The term cannot be construed
as meaning any of the following:

  • 1. Those who are now teaching in 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 $20.00 for each term will be charged each student
who registers from outside of Virginia. This fee will entitle the student to
enter any of the courses outlined in the catalogue (except a few special
courses which are so designated). No student, however, will be permitted
to take more than 3 courses without paying a fee of $5.00 for each extra
course. See page 26.

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


21

Page 21
the Department of Public Instruction of Virginia, will be recognized as a
proper basis for professional credit.

Teachers from other states will receive credit for all work done in accordance
with the certificate regulations of those States from which they
come. Most Southern States accept the work of the University Summer
Quarter for certificate credit or renewal.

Medical Fee.—A small medical fee of 75 cents will be charged each person
who registers each term, which will entitle him or her to free medical
attendance by Dr. Staige Davis Blackford, the Physician of the Summer
Quarter, hospital phone, 548; residence phone, 934-R; office hours at the
hospital 8:30 to 9:30 and 5:00 to 6:00. Sundays, holidays, and Saturdays,
12:00 to 1:00 only. Moderate charges will be given at the University Hospital,
under the following regulations:

Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes
not due to his own misconduct, is entitled, without charge, to all necessary
medical advice from the Physician of the Summer Quarter; and, if necessary,
to nursing in the University Hospital at a reasonable charge for maintenance
while there. This reduced charge does not apply to cases requiring
surgical operation, 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 the expense incurred through the employment of private nurses,
necessitated by severe illness of the student, or through the maintenance of
quarantine precautions in contagious cases. Any student sent to the University
Hospital upon the advice and under the care of a physician other
than the Summer Quarter Physician will be required to pay the regular
hospital charges for private patients.

Late Registration and Transfer Fees.—Students who fail to register on
the days specified for the purpose must pay a special fee of $1.00. Registration
is not completed until all fees are paid; therefore, if fees are not paid
on the registration days, $1.00 is added to the total of fees charged.

A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change from one course to another
after registration has been completed.

No auditors or visitors are allowed in classes unless this privilege is mentioned
in the description of the course. All who attend must be regularly
registered and enrolled.

Refund of Fees.—Students who withdraw within the period allowed for
registration and changes in program, that is, within the first week of the
session, will be reimbursed the full amount of tuition fees and half the
laboratory fees, but no other fees.

Students who withdraw after the time allowed for registration and
changes cannot be allowed reimbursement for any fees.

Formal application for withdrawal, by notice to the Registrar before
leaving the Summer Quarter, must be made and permission granted or no
remission of fees will be allowed.

Payment of Fees and Other Expenses.—The Bursar does not cash personal
checks, but will accept them in payment of the exact amount of fees,
and they will be accepted at the 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 17th, at 8:30 A. M. There will be no classes on
Saturdays in the first term except Saturday, June 28th, and Saturday, July
12th, to make up for registration day, June 16th and Fourth of July, when
there will be no classes. The length of recitation periods will be one hour,
ten minutes of which will be allowed for transfer from one room to another.

Sunday Vesper 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 for miles around. They consist
of a religious address from a distinguished speaker, special music by the
Vespers Choir and individual soloists, community singing and selections played
on the big pipe organ in the amphitheatre. These Vesper Services have always
proven to be one of the most attractive features of the Summer Quarter.

The Vespers Choir.—This Chorus (for women's voices) is conducted
along the lines of a city church choir of high standards. Students of the
Summer Quarter, particularly those with some experience in choral singing,
are invited to join; membership is limited to thirty. Regular rehearsals are
held each Wednesday from 7:30 to 8:30 P. M. at Madison Hall and programs
will be prepared and performed during the Vesper Services. The organization
takes place Wednesday, June 18th, at 7:30 P. M. in Madison Hall.

General Assembly.—Every evening except Saturday and Sunday, from
7:30 to 8:00 o'clock, a general assembly of students and faculty will be held
in Cabell Hall. The program will be informal and varied, and will be musical,
devotional, educational, or recreational. Assembly will be under the direction
of a faculty committee, and will be led by members of the faculty and
prominent visiting speakers.

Commencement.—In order to provide for the increasing number of students
who complete the requirements for their degrees during the Summer
Quarter, commencement exercises will be held Friday evening, August 29th,
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 13th, 14th, 16th, in Peabody Hall.

No student will be allowed to attend any class until his registration has
been completed. Registration is completed and the student's card filed only
after his fees have been paid in full.
No student will be enrolled in any course
without a card showing that he has been regularly registered for such a
course and that his fees have been paid. Students are urged, therefore, to
register and pay fees promptly on the days set aside for that purpose.


23

Page 23

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

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 24th, except a certificate of attendance.

Registration by Mail.—Registration may be completed by mail to June
7th. For the necessary blanks, address, Registrar Summer Quarter, Box 149,
University, Va.

Registration by mail is intended only for those who know the program
of studies which they may or should 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 the Basement of Peabody Hall, pay his fees and receive a card showing
he may enter the clases 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 90,000 volumes.


24

Page 24

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 6,400 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. North of the
building there are nineteen tennis courts which will be equipped for the use
of the students.

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.

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.

Teacher's 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 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 13th, the First Term and August
14th, the Second Term a self-addressed government stamped envelope for mailing
it.

Credit Allowed by Other States Than Virginia.—Application has been
made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded by the Virginia
State Board of Education. Credit is now allowed toward the extension
of certificates by most of the Southern States. All persons wishing to arrange
for credits with their respective school authorities should correspond
with the Dean of the Summer Quarter.

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.

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 the courses
in the Summer Quarter in lieu of the entrance examinations in the same subject,
provided that in his judgment the courses are equivalent to those
required for entrance to the University of Virginia, and provided, that the
certificate of courses completed be approved by the University of Virginia
professor concerned.

(c) The Dean of the College will accept certificates of completion of
summer courses in the University of Virginia, provided that such summer
courses be approved by the University of Virginia professor concerned as the
full equivalent in character and scope of the corresponding courses in the
University.

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


26

Page 26

(d) Students, both men and women, who satisfy entrance requirements
will not only receive credit in the University of Virginia for college courses
taken in the Summer Quarter, but the summer work is recognized by standard
colleges everywhere, so that students have no difficulty in securing transfer
of credits.

(e) Graduate courses completed in the Summer Quarter if approved
by the Committee on Graduate Studies, shall be credited just as if they
were taken in the regular session; residence work aggregating three Summer
Quarters shall be considered as fulfilling the residence requirements for
the master's degree.

College Credit.—Candidates who desire credit for work done at other colleges,
must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students, and must,
in addition, file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a certificate covering
the courses for which college credit is desired. The certificate must bear
the official signature of the head of the candidate's college, must specify
the character and content of the 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.
In every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer Quarters
in this University.
