General Information
ORGANIZATION
The School of Business Administration had its origin m 1920 as the department of economics in Richmond College which eventually became the department of economics and applied economics. In 1924 the Evening School of Business Administration was organized as a separate division of the University of Richmond. In 1949 the department of economics and applied economics in Richmond College and the Evening School of Business Administration were combined to form the School of Business Administration with both day and evening classes. Day classes are conducted on the three hundred acre University campus in surburban Westhampton about five miles from the center of Richmond. Evening classes meet in the Columbia Building, Grace and Lombardy Streets, on the site of the old Richmond College campus.
The School of Business Administration is one of the six divisions of the University of Richmond, which was founded and is supported by the Baptists of Virginia. Other divisions with dates of founding are Richmond College ( 1830); The T. C. Williams School of Law (1870); Westhampton College (1914); the Summer School ( 1920) ; and the Graduate School ( 1921) . Each College has its own dean, its own faculty, and its own institutional life. The University Senate, on which sit representatives of all the faculties, provides for intercollegiate cooperation.
The legal name of the corporation is UNIVERSITYOF RICHMOND. The Board of Trustees of the University of Richmond controls all endowment and other funds and makes all appropriations. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration as well as all degrees for work done in any of the colleges is conferred by the University of Richmond. Ultimate authority is vested in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University.
The University of Richmond, one of the eight affiliated institutions of the Richmond Area University Center, benefits from the several cooperative programs operated by the Center. Through a cooperative Evening Program students can complete all requirements for a degree in Business Administration.
Richmond is an ideal location for a School of Business Administration because of the large number of establishments which are available as business laboratories and clinics, the diversity of business activity, and its proximity to Washington, D. C. and large business centers.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
The libraries of the University contain over 120,000 volumes. The main collection of the University Library is housed in the Charles Hill Ryland Building. A large reading room and a specialized library dealing with economic subjects and current business affairs are maintained in the Columbia Building especially for the use of evening students.
Special collections of books, pamphlets and research materials are maintained by the Richmond Society of Public Accountants, the Richmond Chapter of the National Office Management Association, and the Richmond Chapter of the American Institute of Banking.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The student self-government organization, known as the Student Government of the School of Business Administration, was established by the students to represent and further the best interests of the student body and the School in general, and to bring about cooperation and efficiency among the various student organizations. Each full-time student is a member of this organization. It is vitally connected with maintaining the honor system in the School.
Part-time students are represented by the Student Advisory Committee, the members of which are selected by the students in the evening classes.
THE HONOR SYSTEM
The Honor System requires that a man shall in all the relations of student life act honorably. Breaches of Honor Code are cheating, violations of signed pledges, stealing, lying, failure to report violations of the Honor Code, and, in general, breaking one's word of honor under any circumstances.
GENERAL EXPLANATION
1. The Pledge: "On my honor as a gentleman, I have neither given nor received aid."
2. Meaning of the Pledge: The pledge on quizzes, examinations, written problems, and exercises means that the work which the student hands in to his professor is his own, which he himself has done in accordance with the requirements laid down by the faculty in the regulations set forth below.
3. Exercise Care: It is also important that everyone should exercise the greatest care to keep himself free from suspicion of evil. Such practices as leaving the examination room for any length of time unaccompanied or too frequently, or taking an examination alone, or bringing texts and note books into the examination room, or carelessly glancing toward another student's paper-these are discouraged by the Honor Council. While they do not of themselves constitute infringements of the Honor Code, such practices are dangerous for both the individual and the continued well-being of the Honor System.
All students should take every opportunity of acquainting themselves in detail with the working of the Honor System as well as with these general principles.
The Honor System is a principle of conduct and not a set of rules for conduct. It should be understood that the following statement is intended only to cover the chief and most easily misunderstood applications of that principle, and not to serve as a substitute for it.
PLEDGED WORK
I. No test, examination, theme, term paper, or parallel reading report will be accepted which does not have the customary pledge written out in full and signed.
II. The placing of the pledge on a test or examination paper means that the student has used no books, notes, or other aids except by explicit permission of the instructor.
A. When a book is used by permission of the instructor, it must be free from annotations in that part of the book used.
B. When an oral test is given, no books or notes are to be used except by explicit permission of the instructor.
III. The placing of the pledge on a term paper or theme means that the work is the student's own and contains no plagiarism -that is, theft from another writer. There are two kinds of plagiarism: copying the ideas or facts belonging to another; and copying his words.
A. To avoid the first kind, it is necessary, whenever the student consults any reference work or other source, that he give in the body of his paper or in a footnote the name of the reference work or author.
B. To avoid the second, it is necessary, whenever the student uses the words of another, that he enclose them in quotation marks and give in his paper or in a footnote the name of the author.
C. Plagiarism is not avoided by using the words of another with a few alterations.
D. In general, it is not undesirable for students to co-operate or to help one another in the preparation of their themes, or even in the shaping of the material for their themes. It must be clearly understood, however, that the actual papers must be written without aid.
IV. The placing of the pledge on a parallel reading test or report means that the student has actually read the book or number of pages claimed.
UNFLEDGED WORK
On all unpledged work it is understood that the student's signing the paper with his name means that he has observed the following principles:
I. A student may work and discuss his home work with other students, but may not turn in, as his own, work which he has merely copied from another and to which he has not substantially contributed.
II A student must make laboratory reports only on work which he has actually done in the laboratory and on results actually obtained there.

FACULTY
INSTRUCTION BY BUSINESS MEN AND PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS
Two groups are represented in the faculty of the School of Business: the professional university instructor who is devoting his life to education as a career, and the active business executive or government official who has achieved success in his vocation and who is willing to conduct a college course in the field of his major activity . Most of the business men who are affiliated with the School's faculty have had former teaching experience. Through these two groups, each with its special emphasis, there results a balanced education which gives due weight to both the theoretical and the practical.
To supplement tht; instruction offered by members of the regular faculty of the School of Business Administration, a number of prominent business executives and government officials in Richmond have generously agreed to meet with various classes and give to the students the benefit of their specialized knowledge and experience.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
The deportment of a g entleman is the standard to which every student is expected to conform. All appropriate means are used to develop and confirm a sense of personal honor and sacred regard for truth , as upon these rests the best reliance for good conduct. A few plain and reasonable rules are prescribed, and each matriculate must pledge himself to obey them.
1. Occupants will be held responsible for the good order of their rooms and for any damage or defacement. Changes from one room to another may be allowed by the Dean of Students, but must not be made without his consent.
2. If a student destroys, defaces, or in any way damages college property, or aids and abets others in so doing, he shall within twenty-four hours report the fact to the Dean of Students. Students will be charged pro rata for all damages not individually accounted for.
3. No club or society may be formed unless the faculty approv es its plan and purpose, the rules by which it proposes to be governed , and the hours of meeting.
4. If a student desires to room and board off the campus, such living arrangements are subject to examination and approval by the Dean of Students.
5. Any student who resides in a dormitory, fraternity house, or residence other than the home of his parent or guardian, and who wishes to maintain and operate an automobile while enrolled in the School, must file in the office of the Dean of Students his parent's or guardian's written approval before this will be permitted.
6. Students must register all motor vehicles used on the campus and abide by regulations concerning the use of such vehicles. Failure to register a motor vehicle or abide by the regulations will subject the student to penalties.
In observance of these rules and in all matters not specifically mentioned, the deportment of a gentleman and a student is the standard to which everyone is expected to conform. His sense of honor is the main reliance, and his word in matters touching his own conduct will be called for at the discretion of the Deans or President. In matriculating students, the right is reserved to require the immediate withdrawal from college of any student whenever the administration decides that such action is desirable.
RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS
The Department of Defense maintains two units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps on the University of Richmond campusa Transportation Corps unit of the Army R.O.T.C. and an Air Force R.O.T.C. unit.
Educational and Military Objectives: The Reserve Officers' Training Corps provides systematic military training at civilian institutions for the purpose of qualifying selected students in such institutions as reserve officers in the armed forces of the United States. This objective is attained through courses and training methods which will be of value to the student in his professional or business career and, at the same time, prepare him to serve as an officer in the defense forces of his country. A commission as Second Lieutenant in the Officers' Reserve Corps of the Army or the Air Force is offered to students graduating from the University of Richmond who successfully complete the R.O.T.C. program.
Courses: Students in the School of Business Administration may be eligible for the Advanced R.O.T.C. Program. The R.O.T.C. course carries college credit. While the course is elective, a student
who enrolls for the Advanced Course must complete it as a prerequisite to graduation from the University of Richmond. Advanced Course students attend a six weeks summer camp normally between their Junior and Senior years, and are paid approximately $105.00 plus all expenses for this camp attendance. Under present Selective Service regulations Advanced Course students are deferred. If deferred, a student must agree to serve, if called, on active duty for two years following receipt of his commission and also to remain in reserve status for a total of two years. Selected Distinguished Military Graduates may be offered a commission in the Regular Army or Regular Air Force.
Uniforms and Equipment: Government uniforms and equipment are furnished the University for issue to students without cost to the individual. Each student is required to make a deposit of $10 .00 with the Treasurer of the University to cover the cost of any lost or damaged articles. If no equipment is lost or damaged, this deposit is refunded to the student when he completes the course or leaves school.
Subsistence: Advanced Course students receive an allowance of approximately $27.00 per month in lieu of rations.
Eligibility: Students who have successfully completed the basic R.O.T.C. Course in college or in secondary or military schools, or have credit therefor by virtue of one year of previous military service in any branch of the armed services, may be selected within quota limitations for the Advanced Army Course by examination and personal interview with the professor of Military Science and Tactics. The Advanced Air Force Course is offered to those students who have completed the basic course, who have two years of college work remaining, and who have been recommended by the President of the University and by the Professor of Air Science and Tactics for further training. Recommendations for this course will be limited to those students who have manifested special interest and ability during the basic course and who desire to pursue the course to completion with the view of qualifying for a commission in the Air Force Reserve.

The student receives compensation which is sufficient to cover the tuition and fees of the second semester.
Senior Marketing students have available a cooperative program with several of the large stores whereby the student spends six hours each week for three months each semester in the store.

The present curriculum of the School, in addition to courses for general business training, provides specialized programs of study for prospective students of law, for students of accountancy, for bank employees, government employees, insurance men, merchants, retailers, and others.
Among the organizations with which close relationships are maintained in offering courses are the Richmond Chapter of the American Institute of Banking, the Richmond Life Agency Managers , the Richmond Association of Insurance Agents, the Richmond Life Underwriters Association, the Richmond Chapter of the National Institute of Credit, the Richmond Chapter of the National Office Management Association, the Richmond Real Estate Exchange, the Sales Executives Club of Richmond, and the Richmond (Va.)

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND

The results of these scientific tests, combined with individual discussions with students, will be used as the basis for giving students who desire advice all possible assistance in determining the field of business they may wish to enter and for which they may be fitted. Although no promise is made by the School of Business to secure positions for its students, an effort is made to find places for those who inform the School authorities of their desire to obtain new positions and who have made a good record in the School. Gratifying success has attended the efforts to aid capable students in making connections with business firms.
