INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

WESTHAMPTON COLLEGE, whose first session began September 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 it s advanced cla sses 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 inaugurated and after several years of united effort the full sum was collected. In the meantime the Richmond College corporation h a d 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 Janu ary, 19 14, and occupy the highest part of a tract of land embracing 130 acres. Separated from this campus by a lake of about nine 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 advantages 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 buildings, and its independent institutional life. The internal administration of Westhampton College is immediately in charge of a woman dean, and both men and women teach in the faculty.

WESTHAMPTON COLLEGE CATALOGUE

The grounds, buildings, and equipment of Westhampton Col- lege 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 frame-work 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 equipment throughout is entirely modern. Safety, health and comfort of students have everywhere been considered.

PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY

PROFESSORYOUNG ASSOCIATEPROFESSORBRYAN

1. Loc1c. This course is intended to acquaint the young student with the principles of clear, consistent thinking. Exercises are given from historical and scientific essays to acquaint the student at first hand with specimens of correct expression. From time to time professors in the various departments of science are invited to deliver popular lectures on specific themes in their several fields. These with illustrations and parallel reading in the history of natural science enable the young student to decide for herself along what lines her scientific interests lie, and at the same time clear away the confusion, which often besets the beginner in science. This course is, therefore, especially recommended to Freshmen.

(a) DEDUCTIONis studied to show the principles of Inference in its relation to Definition, Classification, Hypothesis and its verification, and formation of subsidiary laws of natural science. The syllogism is reviewed as a form of consistent thought.

MUSIC

PROFESSOR ERNEST H. COSBY

PROFESSOR JACOB REINHARDT

MRS. FLORA VAN RIPER

MRS. F. D. HEQUEMBOURG

HARRY VAN LANDINGHAM

The Department of Music is under the guidance of competent and skilled musicians of wide practical experience. Instruction, both practical and theoretical, will be given in piano, voice culture, violin, harmony and theory, choral music, and in special subjects when occasion demands.

In order that the best results may be obtained, each pupil is given individual instruction in the piano, violin, and vocal departme,1ts, class work being confined to the theoretical branches.

Students in this department must have attained a fair degree of technical proficiency before entering the piano or vocal branches; a previous knowledge of the theoretical subjects, while not essential, is nevertheless desirable.

Richmond is rapidly taking rank as one of the acknowledged music centers of the country, and provides a number of excellent concerts each season, giving students the opportunity of hearing good music at frequent intervals and without interruption in their college work. (The distance is short and transportation facilities adequate.)

THE LIBRARY

MARION G. RYLAND,B. A., B. S., Librarian

JESSIE M. Wooo, B. A., Assistant to the Librarian

R. C. McDANEL, 'r6, F. F. BosTON, '17, Student Assistant

The College Library occupies the southern wing of Ryland Hall. It is one hundred and three feet long, thirty-two feet wide, and, with its vaulted arched ceiling, twenty-three feet high. The interior is panelled in Flemish 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 con-

56 WESTHAMPTON COLLEGE CATALOGUE

venience 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 College buildings strictly conform.

It contains about twenty-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 of each day, and the Librarian and assistants are always on hand to give help in any line of reading or research.

For the convenience of the undergraduates of Westhampton College, there is also maintained in the Reading Room at Vvesthampton, a well selected reference Library.

The College 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 one hundred thousand volumes of the Virginia State 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. In a few hours, the Reference Librarian can obtain rare books and pamphlets invaluable for theses and debates.

TERM REPORTS

Term reports are sent to parent or guardian at the end of each of the three terms. This includes a record of the student's class and examination standing, together 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 improvements and sustaining a just discipline.

CLASS STANDING AND EXAMINATIONS

The standing of student 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 very good; B, that it has been good; C, that it has been fair. The letter D indicates that her work has been unsatisfactory, and that she is conditioned on the subject for the term. 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 stand- ing for the term. If the condition (D) on the work of a term is not removed, the term's work, to be credited, must be taken a second time.

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.

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.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS

The candidate for a bachelor's degree is required to attain sixty hours, a hour being the value of one class-hour of work per week through the year. Each class, unless otherwise stated, counts three hours. A laboratory period of two hours is equiva- lent to one-half of a class hour. Fifteen hours per week are regarded as the standard amount of work, twelve hours the mini- mum, and eighteen hours the maximum. The sixty hours re- quired are distributed as follows :

REGULATIONS CONCERNING USE BY DONORS OF SCHOLARSHIPS IN WESTHAMPTON COLLEGE

Scholarships established in Westhampton College during the campaign for the Women's College and Endowment Fund shall be used under the following ' regulations :

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

2. Scholarships established since January I, 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 fe.e is at present one hundred 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 one hundred dollar tuition fee, or $25 for each half session.

8. Reports of students' class and examination standing art: mailed at regular intervals to parents or guardians, and a tr:anscript of a beneficiary's report will be mailed to the donor of a scholarship, provided request is made at the President's office.
