With Announcements

for the

Session 1930-1931


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, 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 faculty and within his own academic group. The University Senate, on which sit representatives of the three 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 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. 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 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, 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.

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 University 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.

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. The libraries of the University contain about fifty 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.


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 $150.00; a minor scholarship pays $75.00 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. Applications should be received by April 1. 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, attafoments, 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.

LOAN FUND The Scottish Rite Loan Fund for Westhampton College students has been provided through the generosity of the Scottish Rite Education Commitee. The amount of a loan varies from $50 to $200 in accordance with the need of the individual student. Preference is given to Seniors and Juniors. This fund is administered by a faculty committee. Application blanks are furnished on request.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS The Student Government

Association

All students become members of the Student Government Association and are subject to its jurisdiction. The purpose of this Association as stated in its constitution, is "to promote the welfare of the student body and to uphold a spirit of honor, responsibility, and loyalty to the College." The administration is in the hands of seven officers and representatives of class and other organizations who constitute with the officers an Executive Council. The Council elects each year a faculty adviser. The Dean is a permanent ex officio adviser.

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.

HONORARY SOCIETIES At the Triennial Meeting of Phi Beta Kappa, in September, 1928, a charter of this national honor society was granted to the University of Richmond. The Chapter is the Epsilon of Virginia and was established April 12th, 1929. Elections to this group will be from the honor students of Westhampton College and of Richmond College.

Pi Alpha Election to the Honorary Senior Society, Pi Alpha, demands not only a record of good scholarship, but also of direct contribution to college life along the line of student activities. Elections to this organization take place at the end of the Junior year and are by unanimous consent of all members, both faculty and students.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS There are three student publications: the Web, the Messenger, and the Collegian. The Web, an annual, is published by the Senior Classes of the University of Richmond. The Messenger, a monthly literary magazine, and the Collegian, a weekly paper, are published co-ordinately with Richmond College.


ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE RESIDENCE

REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible to reserve a room in the dormitory, a student shall be required to pass at least eighteen semester hours of College work.

CLASS EXAMINATIONS

AND STANDING

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.

OF THE REGULAR CHARGES.

In estimating College expenses the prospective student should take into consideration some additional expense incident to participation in student activities. These student items, excluding participation in the expenses of College publications, which is $10.00, have been grouped by the Student Government Association, and have been apportioned according to class membership. The assessment this session ( 1929-'30) has been in an ascending scale from $8.00 for each Freshman to $12.50 for each Senior. The collecting and disbursing of these funds is managed by the Student Government Assocation. Further information in regard to these items will be gladly furnished by this association through its official bulletins.

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 the 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.
