GENERAL

ANNOUNCEMENTS ., ., ., ORGANIZATION

The University of Richmond is organized after the fashion of the older English Universities. It includes Richmond College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for men; Westhampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for women; the T. C. Williams School of Law for professional study; the Evening School of Business Administration; the Graduate Department, and the Summer School. Each college has its own dean, its own faculty, its own buildings and campus, and its own institutional life. Each has its separate student body, which is limited to a number that will insure to every student intellectual and social contacts with his facult y and within his own academic group.

The University Senate, on which sit representatives of the several college faculties, provides for intercollegiate co-operation.

Ultimate authority is vested in the President and in the Board of Trustees of the University of Richmond. This Board controls all funds and awards all degrees. Future growth will be in the direction of the organization of similar separate colleges. Graduate work is offered for the Master's Degree, but for the present is not contemplated beyond that point.

Westhampton College, as a college of the University of Richmond, enjoys all the general advantages afforded by co-ordination, but has an independent institutional life. The internal administration is immediately in charge of a woman dean, and both men and women teach in the faculty.

Westhampton College is on the accredited list of the American Association of University Women, and, as part of the University of Richmond, is a member of the Southern Association of Colleges, of the American Association of Colleges, and is on the approved lists of the Association of American Universities.

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS The buildings of Westhampton College, completed in January, 1914, occupy the highest part of a tract of land embracing one hundred and thirty acres of open spaces and woodland.

Separated from this campus by a lake of about nine acres are the spacious grounds of the college for men. The entire tract, of nearly three hundred acres, is on the hills above the James River, about five miles west of Richmond. The situation is easily accessible by street cars.

The buildings of Westhampton College are in the Collegiate Gothic style of architecture, the work of Ralph Adams Cram.

The four sections which constitute the dormitory portion are grouped about a large English court. There are fifty-six double rooms, sixty-six single rooms, and six suites, all of which are provided by the college with beds, dressers and chairs. The dining room, a duplicate of a refectory at Oxford, has a lofty, oak-beamed ceiling.

The class room section contains eleven lecture rooms, well ventilated, and sunny. The hot water system of heating avoids dust and dirt. On the ground floor is a large reading room provided with general reference works and books required for the Freshman and the Sophomore classes. The two upper classes use also the general library on the University campus.

The Chemistry Building, the first unit of a group of laboratories, was opened in January, 1927. This group of permanent, fireproof buildings costs with equipment about a half a million dollars .

The Physics Building, the second unit of this group of laboratories, was dedicated in October, 1930.

The Biology Building, which completes the group of laboratories, was opened in January, 1933.

A Playhouse for dramatic productions, newly repaired and altered, was opened in March, 1933.

The Henry M. Cannon Memorial Chapel and the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater, both located on the Westhampton campus, were opened in 1929.

A temporary structure, dating from 1918 and called from its origin and use the Red Cross Building, serves for gymnasium, and recreation center.

LIBRARY The libraries of the University contain about fifty-five thousand volumes, not including pamphlets, arranged and catalogued by the Dewey System. The most recent and useful bibliographical aids are provided, and the best periodicals and reviews, daily and weekly papers are currently received. As a depository of the United States Government, the Library acquires annually hundreds of publications especially valuable for reference in social and political science. The students have direct access to the shelves during ten hours each week day, and the Librarian and assistants are always on hand to give help in any line of reading or research.

The main library occupies the southern wing of Ryland Hall.

The interior is panelled in oak, and the book-cases arranged in alcove plan. There is, at each end, a five-fold Gothic window of striking size and beauty, and in each alcove a casement window, the whole affording natural light at all hours of the day. In convenience and harmony of effect, the Library is the culmination of the collegiate Gothic, that exquisite perpendicular type made familiar by the English colleges, to which all the University buildings strictly conform.

For the convenience of the Freshman and Sophomore classes of Westhampton College, there is also maintained in the Reading Room at Westhampton College a well selected reference library.

The University counts itself peculiarly fortunate in having close by several great collections of books, which materially increase its library resources. Through the courtesy of the officials, the resources of the Virginia State Library, the Richmond Public Library and the unique collection of the Virginia Historical Society have been made accessible to our students, both for consultation and withdrawal. These afford exceptional facilities for research, not only in general subjects, but especially in Virginia and American history. It should also be mentioned that our nearness to Washington enables ·us to make constant use of the Congressional

Library, from which rare books and pamphlets invaluable for theses and debates can be quickly obtained.

LECTURE FOUNDATIONS The Ann Florence Frazer Fund This fund of $3,000, given by Robert Frazer, LL. D., of Washington, D. C., in memory of his wife, provides for a course of lectures in Westhampton College on "Duties and Obligations of Motherhood."

These lectures are given by the professor of Physiology and Hygiene.

The Thomas Lectures These Lectures are provided for by "The Thomas Museum Lecture Endowment" of $11,000 donated by his family in memory of the late president of the corporation, James Thomas, Jr. They are delivered annually by eminent men of our own and foreign countries on Science, Philosophy, Art or Literature, and by special provision are open to the public without charge.

UNIVERSITY WEEK University Week was organized in 1927 and has become an annual event. The object of the University Week is to bring to the campus friends of the University, particularly alumnae, and to offer them intellectual stimulus and entertainment. The dates for University Week in 1933 are October 11th, 12th and 13th.

In all class rooms and in all College activities the honor system is used.

By vote of the students of Westhampton College, the policy was inaugurated in 1922 of calling upon each individual student for an apportioned contribution to the general student activities of the year. This budget fee, assessed by the officers of the College Government Association, varies according to the Class, and is collected in one payment in October by the Treasurer of College Government.

The Young Woman's Christian Association Membership in the Young Woman's Christian Association is open to all students, its aim being to enrich the religious life of the institution. The organization brings interesting speakers to its weekly meetings, and participates in general Y. W. C. A. activities.

Its chief aim is to foster missionary interest, to be an "open window to the World," and to keep Baptist students in touch with their denominational program.

At the bi-monthly meetings the speakers are often missionaries or denominational leaders. The Y. W. A. co-operates with the Y. W. C. A. in conducting Mission Study Classes.

The Athletic Association Every student is automatically a member of the Athletic Association. This Association has charge of the organization of the various sports, tennis, hockey, basketball and track; and of the awarding of the various honors in athletics. In all sports there are first and second class teams and varsities.

OF THE REGULAR CHARGES.

In estimating College expenses the prospective student should take into consideration some additional expense incident to par-

ticipation in student activities. These student items, excluding participation in the expenses of College publications, which is $8.00, have been grouped by the College Government Association, and have been· apportioned according to class membership. The assessment this session ( 1932-33) has been in an ascending scale from $9.00 for each Freshman to $12 for each Senior. The collecting and disbursing of these funds is managed by the College Government Association. Further information in regard to these items will be gladly furnished by this association through its official bulletins.

Notes

In order to avoid delay in matriculation, parents are urged to provide their daughters with the amount due on entrance. Make checks payable to Westhampton College.

Students are matriculated for a full session. In the event of withdrawal on account of the student's sickness, proportionate deduction will be made in the charge for board, but not in other charges or for other causes.

No diploma is granted or credit given for a session's work until all charges have been satisfactorily settled.

The College Fee is an entrance charge paid by all students to cover the privileges of the campus and buildings, including the use of the library, and is not subject to deduction nor in any case refunded.

The Contingent Fee of $5.00 is charged each student to cover unnecessary damage to college property, loss of books from the library, use of medicine from the infirmary, etc. Such part of this fee as is unused is returned to the student at the close of the session.

The charge for room rent includes medical attention by the College Physician, general services of graduate nurse resident in dormitory, heat, light, and the laundering of one dozen plain

pieces a week. This charge does not cover either cost of medicines, the expense of a city hospital, or the services of any additional physician.

Rooms Applications for rooms should be made to the Dean of the College. For the reservation of a particular room an advance payment of twenty-five dollars is required. This payment will be credited on the college bill for the second semester, or will be refunded if written notice releasing the room is given prior to July 1st of the current year, but no refund will be made if the notice shall have been received after this date, or if the student for any other reason releases the room.

There are only a few $90.00 rooms. Preference in the assignment of them is given to especially needy students.

The dormitories, including the boarding department, will be closed during the Christmas and spring vacations. Students who wish to remain at College during the spring holiday are requested to confer with the Dean.

Any student who desires to have friends remain overnight must first obtain written permission from the Dean or the Director of the Dormitory.

The College supplies students' rooms with bedstead, mattress, pillow, pair of blankets, dresser, closet, and chairs. Each student furnishes her own counterpanes ( couch covers or day covers for bed), four sheets ( size 72x99) , four pillow cases ( size 4Sx36), rag rugs, towels, soap, six napkins, and napkin ring.

Lavatories with individual wash-bowls and bubble drinking fountains are convenient to every room.

The charge for laundry is included in the room rent and covers the laundering of one dozen plain pieces a week. Parents are urged to have all clothing plainly marked before the students leave home, as no clothing is accepted for laundry unless this has been done.

II. To other fully prepared applicants who shall present satisfactory testimonials from the school last attended, or from other persons who have had opportunity to judge, certifying to their health, attainments, habits of study and moral character.

III. To those of either class who give reasonable assurance that they will complete a course of study leading to one of the degrees of the College.

The recipients of aid are expected to maintain a creditable standing in all their academic work and to prove actively helpful to the College.

Regulations Concerning Use by Donors of Scholarships in Westhampton College Additional scholarships are earnestly solicited. For the information of prospective donors the following regulations are printed: 1. A major scholarship becomes available for use when not less than two thousand five hundred dollars has been paid into the College treasury. This sum may be paid at one time or in installments.

WESTHAMPTON

COLLEGE

CATALOGUE

2. A major scholarship pays the annual tuition of the holder.

This fee is at present one hundred and fifty dollars, which is therefore the present annual value of such a scholarship.

3. Recipients of scholarships must meet the usual entrance requirements that are demanded of students who pay tuition.

4. Donors of scholarships who wish to nominate students to receive the benefit of their scholarships are informed that it is a rule of the College to make its appointments for one year at a time, and then repeat the appointment as often as may be needful and desirable .

5. Donors of scholarships are requested to nominate beneficiaries by April 1st preceding tne opening of the session when the scholarship is to be used, and to notify the President of the Col-. lege of the nomination. If the donor has reported no nomination

by September 1st, the College will appoint a beneficiary for the current session.

REQUIREMENTS

Eligibility for residence in the Westhampton College dormitory depends upon passing not less than eighteen semester hours of college work.

CLASS EXAMINATIONS

AND GRADING SYSTEM

Students making a passing grade are divided into four groups designated by the letters A, B, C, D, respectively. The letter A indicates that the work for the semester, including examination, has been excellent; B, that it has been very good; C, that it has been average; D, that it has been just passing. The letter E indicates that the work has been unsatisfactory, and that a condition has been incurred on the subject for the semester. Grade F indicates failure.

Besides frequent oral and written tests, there are held in every class two general written examinations, at the close of the first and second semesters. All examinations are limited to three hours. Recitations and lectures are suspended during the examination period. The valuation of examination papers is equitably combined with the average of the student's class standing for the semester.

All candidates for College honors of any kind are expected to maintain a passing grade in their classes. This grade is expected of every student who wishes to appear before the public in a representative capacity, as member of or manager of any team, or as representative of any college organization.

A student who has made an E on any semester must remove the condition before the beginning of the same semester of the following College year or the E will become an F. A student is permitted to take one special examination only to remove an E ; the failure to pass this converts the condition into a failure.

If at the beginning of the Junior year a student has not made as many as 60 quality credits, she shall not be classified as a Junior either in the office, in student organizations, or in class privileges.

If at the end of 'the first semester of the Junior year the student has made as many as 75 quality credits, she will have Junior rating for the remainder of the session.

If at the beginning of the Senior year a student has not made as many as 90 quality credits, she shall not be classified as a Senior either in the office, in student organizations, or in class privileges.

At the end of the first semester of the Senior year the case of every student whose class rating is in question shall be brought to the attention of the Faculty, at which time it will be determined whether, under any circumstances, the student shall be allowed to become an applicant for graduation at the approaching commencement; and if so allowed, the student and her parents or guardian shall be notified just what conditions must be met.

A student must have 120 quality credits for graduation. No semester's work shall be accepted as major requir ement, if done with a grade lower than C.

NoTE TO PARENTSOF STUDENTSON VARSITYSQUADS:Varsity athletics at Westhampton College is a student activity under a student athletic association.

Because of the very small athletic fee, team trips are possible only through the cooperation of alumnae and through taking advantage of the least expensive means of transportation. While a member of the Physical Education Department coaches the teams and goes on the trips to organize and assist with the games, neither such teacher nor the College can or does assume any responsibility for accidents or delays of any kind. Each car carrying members of the team contains an upper classman or alumna as general chaperone, the students go at their own risk. Parents who are unwilling to have their daughters go with teams under these circumstances should so inform them and at the same time inform the Dean.

THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND GRADUATE

DEPARTMENT

F. W. BOATWRIGHT, M.A., LL.D., President R. E. GAINES, M.A., LITT.D., Director The University of Richmond has recently made important changes in the character of its graduate studies and in the requirements for advanced degrees. For many years the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science have been offered. The courses of study leading to these degrees, while considerably more extensive, were not essentially different in character from the more advanced work required for the B.A. or B.S. degree. Under the revised requirements, while it is still possible for a capable student to complete the work for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science in one year, the major portion of his course is, in method and spirit, graduate work which demands more of independent investigation on tne part of the student.

REQUIREMENTS

FOR ADMISSION

Graduates of Richmond College and of Westhampton College (the two colleges of liberal arts and sciences of, the University of Richmond), and of other standard colleges whose degree requirements are substantially equivalent to those which obtain here, may be admitted as graduate students of the University. Men and women alike are received and are registered as students of the University of Richmond, and not of the separate colleges as is the case with undergraduates. Such students, therefore, may choose courses in either college or in both colleges. A graduate student may be admitted to candidacy for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science if, in the judgment of the Committee on Graduate Studies, the applicant's previous work has been of such quality as gives reasonable assurance of ability to do creditable graduate work. Both the Master of Arts and Master of Science are cultural rather than vocational degrees. A student who has a vocational Bachelor of Science degree may be admitted to candidacy for a Master's degree if his undergraduate course included a sufficient amount of cultural courses to make his degree approximately equivalent in this respect to the regular B.A. or B.S. degree. Any deficiency that may appear must be made up by the student's taking, without credit, such courses as may be prescribed by the Committee on Graduate Studies.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS All candidates for graduate degrees must make application to the Director of the Graduate Department for approval of their admission as graduate students and of their courses of study for a Master's degree. For the degree of Master of Arts a minimum of one full year's work in residence is required as follows: one Major subject, including a thesis, one Minor subject, and two electives.

The Major constitutes at least one-third of the entire course, while the Minor, which must be in a field related to the Major, is slightly less extensive. The two electives may be chosen from the more advanced courses which are designed primarily for undergraduates.

The requirements for the Master of Science are identical with the foregoing except that the Major and Minor courses must be chosen from the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. For either degree the candidate must have had in his undergraduate course at least as much foreign language as is required for the Bachelor's degrees in the University of Richmond.

Graduate courses are offered in Greek, Latin, French, English, History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. Courses are arranged for the individual student in accordance with his previous training and in line with his future plans. In all cases the choice of subjects is restricted to fields of study in which the student has previously done sufficient work to qualify him for pursuing the graduate courses desired.

The University of Richmond is in a locality which affords unusual opportunities for study in certain fields. For example, a student of history will, in the city of Richmond, have access to a wealth of historical source materials which are nowhere else to be found. Similar opportunities would be afforded a student of the science of government. Furthermore, the rapid industrial growth of Richmond and its surrounding territory has brought within the reach of the University of Richmond industrial plants in great number and variety which illustrate the increasing application of modern science to the field of industry.
