RICHMOND COLLEGE BULLETIN

Introductory Statement

Westhampton College, whose first session begins Septem- ber 17, 1914, had its origin in. the desire of Virginia Baptists to provide for their daughters educational advantages of the best modern type and standard. Richmond College, founded as the Virginia Baptist Seminary in 1832, had already in 1898 admitted women to its advanced classes and to degree privileges. When in 1906 plans were forming for the proposed college for women, it was agreed between Richmond College and the Virginia Baptist Education Commission that Richmond College should establish and maintain a new college for women of equal grade with the college for men. In order to carry these plans into effect, a campaign for $500,000 was inaugu- rated and after several years of united effort the full sum was collected. In the meantime the Richmond College corporation had decided not only to build a new college for women, but also to rebuild the old college for men at a new site.

The buildings of Westhampton College were completed in January, 1914, and occupy the highest part of a tract of land embracing 130 acres. Separated from this campus by a lake pf about eight acres in extent are the spacious grounds of the college for men. The situation is in the western suburbs of Richmond, easily accessible by street cars.

Westhampton College is owned and controlled by the Richmond College corporation, and enjoys all the general advan- tages afforded by co-ordination with an old and well established college of standard grade. At the same time the college for women has its own separate campus, its own build-

ings, and its independent institutional life. While many professors will teach in both colleges, instruction will be altogether separate, and women will at no time be taught in classes with men. The internal administration of W esthampton College is immediately in charge of a woman dean, and both men and women teach in the faculty.

The grounds, buildings, and equipment of Westhampton College are valued at $400,000, and the college shares largely in the benefit of the million dollar endowment held by the Richmond College corporation. The buildings, of Gothic architecture, are most substantially constructed. The framework is steel set in concrete. All floors are of reinforced concrete, and partitions are of brick or hollow tile. The stairways are of steel with slate treads, the window frames of concrete stone and the sash of bronze. The appointments throughout are of the very best. Safety, health, and comfort of students have everywhere been considered.

for 1914 and 1915.

A. READING.

The aim of this course is to toster in the student the habit of intelligent reading and to develop a taste for good literature, by giving him a first-hand knowledge of some of its best specimens.

With a view to a great freedom of choice, the books provided for reading are arranged in the following groups, from which at least ten selections are to be made-two from each group :

Group I (two to be selected). The Old Testament, comprising at least the chief narrative episodes in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Daniel, together with the books of Ruth and Esther; Homer's Odyssey, with the omission, if desired, of Books I, II, III, IV, V, XV, XVI, XVII; Homer's Iliad, with the omission, if desired, of B?oks XI, XIII,_ XIV, XV, XVII, XXI; Vergil's Aeneid. The Odyssey, Iliad, and Aeneid should be read in English translations of recognized literary excellence.

Similar examinations will also be held in the principal cities of Virginia, and at other places so far as suitable arrangements can be made . Application for the holding of such an examination should be made to the President of the College not less than four weeks previous to the time at which the examination is desired.

Advanced Standing at Entrance.-Students who, by reason of their work elsewhere, are prepared to enter classes higher than the lowest , will be admitted to any advanced class by passing such special examination as may satisfy the professor in charge. When the work of the advanced class shall have

WESTHAMPTON COLLEGE CATALOGUE 23

RICHMOND COLLEGE BULLETIN

dent an acquaintance with the nature and the methods of each science, thus enabling the young student to decide for himself along what lines his scientific interests lie, and at the same time clearing away the confusion, which so often clouds the mind of the beginner in science. The course is therefore especially recommended to Freshmen.

2. Psychology.-The course in psychology is based partly on class-room work and partly on the laboratory. The latter is assigned two hours a week, giving this course four hours credit in all. The physiology of the nervous system is made the ground-work of the investigation of the psycho-physical relations in a course in general psychology. The course is systematic and constructive, giving attention not so much to details as to the broad outlines and theories regarding the conscious life of the normal human individual. Those students wishing to specialize in Medicine, Law, and Education, also candidates for the Ministry, will find this course especially helpful, but the cultural needs of the general student are not neglected. Open to Sophomores.

3. Ethics.-The approach to ethics from the social standpoint gives to morality a rich and full content. The aim is to make the sturdy problems of the moral life real and vital to the student. The method is historical throughout, and the investigation of the institutions, which preserve the moral life and thought of the human race, is made the basis of a constructive study leading to a broad, healthy viewpoint for the moral life of the individual. The various types of ethical theory are examined critically, and their bearing on practical morality and current social practice is constantly correlated. The course is elementary and is open to all students.

4. History of Philosophy.-The introduction to Metaphysics is followed by a course in the History of Philosophy.

This course reviews the development of human thought, as represented by the great original thinkers of Greece and of modern times. It proceeds on the assumption that philosophy must recognize the facts of science, and relate itself to these. The problems of reality and the limits of human knowledge, the categories of human thinking and the relations of the self, the world and God are the central concepts around which the discussions revolve. The course is open to all students who have completed Course 1. Given in 1915-'16.

To the parent or guardian is sent, at the end of each of the three terms, a record of the student's class and examination standing, with such other information as may be deemed important. Whenever it may seem desirable more frequent reports are sent . By prompt and judicious attention on the part of those to whom they are addressed, these reports may be made of great value in promoting improvement and sustaining a just discipline.

CLASS STANDING AND EXAMINATIONS

The standing of students in classes and in examinations is indicated as follows: Students making a passing grade in any study are divided into three groups, designated by the letters A, B, C, respectively. The letter A opposite a student's name indicates that her work for the term, including examination, has been of superior quality; B, that it has been excellent; C, that it has been good. The letter D indicates that her work has been unsatisfactory, and that she is conditioned on the subject for the term; the condition may be removed and credit given if, in the judgment of the professor, her subsequent work for the year is approximately of the grade B. Grade E indicates failure.

Besides frequent oral and written tests, there are held in every class three general written examinations at the close of the fall, winter, and spring terms, respectively. 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 term If this average is of

C grade or higher, the student receives credit; if the average is of A or B grade, the student passes with distinction. If the condition (D) on the work of a term is not removed in the manner indicated above, the term's work, to be credited, must be taken a second time. Only those students who attain at least the grade of C are entitled to points in the estimates for degrees.

All candidates for College honors of any kind are expected to maintain at least the grade of C 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. Students who fail to make the regular examination, or for any reason do not stand these examinations, have no right to pass .to the next higher class in a department. Special examinations may be granted only by a vote of the Faculty. All special examinations for entrance to higher classes must take place within the ten days beginning with the Tuesday preceding the opening of the College session.

Except in the case of new students applying for entrance to advanced classes and of candidates for degrees of the current session, students will be tfquired to pay a fee of one dollar for each special examination, and the Treasurer's receipt for the fee must be presented to the Professor before the special examination will be given.

REGULATIONS CONCERNING USE BY DONORS OF SCHOLARSHIPS IN RICHMOND COLLEGE

Scholarships established in Richmond College during the campaign for the Woman's College and Endownment Fund shall be used under the following regulations:

1. A scholarship becomes available for use when not less than one thousand dollars has been paid into the College treasury.

2. Scholarships established since January 1, 1908, are open to either male or female students, unless the donor specifies a sex limitation.

3. A scholarship pays the annual tuition of the holder. This fee is at present seventy dollars, which is therefore the present annual value of a scholarship.

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

5. 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.

6. Donors of scholarships are requested to nominate beneficiaries by July 1st preceding the opening of the session when the scholarship is to be used, and to notify the President of the College of the nomination. If the donor has reported no nomination by September 1st, the College will appoint a beneficiary for the current session.

7. It is sometimes desirable to divide a scholarship and to appoint two persons to enjoy the benefits of a half-scholarship each. In such case the holder of a half-scholarship pays half of the seventy dollar tuitiQn fee, or $17.50 for each half sei.sion .
