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; and the T. C. Williams School of Law for professional study. 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 faculty and within his own academic group. The University Senate, on which sit representatives of the three 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 organizati<on of similar separate colleges. Graduate work beyond that for the Master's Degree is not contemplated until adequate resources are provided for that purpose. 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 its advanced classes and to degree privileges. \Vhen in 1906 plans were forming for the proposed college for women, it was agreed between Richmond College and the Virginia Baptist Education Commission that the Corporation known then as Richmond College, now as University of Richmond, 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 cor-

poration had decided not only to build a new college for women, but also to rebuild the old college for men at a new site. 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 accepted list of the American Association of University Women.
General Announcements
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 the 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 bed, dresser 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 the general library on the Richmond College campus. The Chemistry Building, the first unit of a group of laboratories, was opened for use in January, 1927. This group of permanent, fire-proof buildings is expected to cost with equipment about half a million dollars. Other sciences than chemistry are at present taught in the Chemistry Building and in temporary quarters. A temporary structure, dating from 1918 and called from its origin and use the Red Cross Building, serves for general assemblies, gymnasium, and recreation center. Joint assemblies of West-

hampton College and Richmond College are held from time to time in the auditorium of the men's college. The 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 College buildings strictly conform. The Library contains about forty-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 day, and the Librarian and assistants are always on hand to give help in any line of reading or research. 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, from which rare books and pamphlets invaluable for theses and debates can be quickly obtained.
SCHOLARSHIPS The corporation holds a few endowed scholarships for the use of meritorious students in Westhampton College. A major scholarship pays the annual tuition of $125.00; a minor scholarship pays $62.50 on tuition. Award is invariably for not more than one year at a time. Applications for scholarships should be addressed to President F. W. Boatwright, University of Richmond, Va. Most of the scholarships are awarded at an annual meeting of the Scholarship Committee in April. The committee in charge has general instructions, in making its award of all Aid Funds, to give the preference: I. To applicants already at College, who have maintained a good standing, both in character and study. 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 of 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.
2. A major scholarship pays the annual tuition of the holder. This fee is at present one hundred and twenty-five 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 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.

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.
