GENERAL INFORMATION
ORGANIZATION
Richmond College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for men, was founded in 1832, and celebrated its first centennial in May, 1932. Around this college as a nucleus have grown up the T. C. Williams School of Law (organized 1870); Westhampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for women ( 1914) ; the Summer School ( 1920) ; the Graduate Department ( 1921 ) ; and the Evening School of Business Administration ( 1924). These several colleges or departments constitute the University of Richmond. Each college has its own dean or director, its own faculty and its own institutional life. Each college has its separate student body, which is limited to a number which will insure every student intellectual and social contacts with his professors and within his own academic group. The University Senate, on which sit representatives of all the faculties, provides for intercollegiate co-operation.
The legal name of the corporation is "University of Richmond." The Board of Trustees of the University of Richmond controls all endowment and other funds and makes all appropriations. The several colleges award no degrees, but all degrees for work done in any one of the colleges are conferred by the University of Richmond. Ultimate authority is vested in the Board of Trustees and in the President of the University.
The campus of the University of Richmond embraces nearly three hundred acres, somewhat equally divided between open spaces and woodland, situated in the western suburbs of Richmond. The campus is five and one half miles from the center of the city and is reached by paved driveways and street cars.
All buildings on the present campus, to which the University moved in 1914, have been erected in the last quarter century. They are of substantial fire proof construction in brick and stone with steel frames encased in concrete. The grounds and buildings have a value of approximately three millions of dollars. The departments of Biology, Chemistry and Physics occupy a group of three new science buildings which were completed in 1933 at a cost of half
UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND BULLETIN
a million dollars. They are carefully planned, have every facility for individual work and special laboratories for research. Each department houses its own library containing standard reference works and files of the important American and foreign periodicals. The equipment is modern and complete.
The libraries of the University contain more than seventy thousand volumes besides current magazines and papers, government publications, etc. Moreover the collections in the Richmond Public Library, the Virginia State Library, the Medical College of Virginia Library and the Virginia Historical Society Library, all located in Richmond, afford excellent opportunities for research. Nearness to Washington enables the University to obtain quickly rare books and pamphlets from the Library of Congress.
GRADUATE STUDIES
The University of Richmond is in a locality which affords unusual opportunities for research in certain fields. For example, a student of history in the city of Richmond has access to a wealth of source materials nowhere else to be found. Similar opportunities are offered to a student of government. Furthermore the rapid industrial growth of the city and the surrounding territory has brought within the reach of the University industrial plants in great number and variety which illustrate the increasing applications of science.
The University of Richmond offers graduate courses in certain departments to qualified students, and confers the degrees Master of Arts and Master of Science upon those who fulfill the requirements as outlined below. Both Richmond College and Westhampton College offer work leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science. Work for these degrees may also be done in Summer School. In 1939 the Trustees also authorized the Summer School to offer graduate courses leading to the degree of Master of Science in Education. This degree may only be taken for work done in Education in the Summer School, as the Faculty and offerings in the department of Education are much larger at that time. Some graduate work has also been arranged in the field of Economics for students in the Evening School of Business Administration, al-
though not enough graduate work is offered there as yet to enable a student to secure a Master's degree.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Graduates of 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 admitted and are registered as students of the University, and not of the separate colleges as is the case with undergraduates. Such students, therefore, may choose graduate courses offered by any professors in the University.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Master of Arts or Master of Science
A graduate student may be admitted tentatively as a candidate 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 extent and quality as to give reasonable assurance of ability to do creditable graduate work. Toward the middle of the year preliminary examinations will be given. If these examinations are passed successfully the applicant is formally accepted as a candidate for the degree.
Both the Master of Arts and the Master of Science are cultural rather than vocational degrees. A student who has taken a vocational undergraduate degree and whose previous course of study falls short of the requirements for the standard B.A. or B.S. will be required to take, without credit, such courses as may be necessary to make up the deficiencies.
All candidates for graduate degrees must make application to the Chairman of the Graduate Department for approval of their admission as graduate students. For acceptance as a candidate for a degree one not only must have received a standard B.A. or B.S. degree but must have done work of such quality as to put him in the upper half of his class. The course of study applied for by the student and approved by his major professor shall be submitted to the Chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies and by him submitted to the committee for its approval.
UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND BULLETIN
A prerequisite for a Master's degree is that the applicant shall have had at least as much modern foreign language as is required for the Bachelor's degree in the University of Richmond. In particular a student should have a reading knowledge of either German or French.
A prerequisite for a graduate major or minor is that the student previously shall have had at least as much work in the given department as is required for an undergraduate major or minor. The specific requirements for a graduate major or minor vary somewhat in the several departments of study. The professor under whose direction the student pursues his major subject will act as the student's advisor, wiH prescribe in detail the requirements for the major, and have general supervision of the student's entire course.
For the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science a minimum of one year's work is required as follows:
( 1) A major subject including a thesis and representing at least one third of a year's work.
(2) A minor subject in a different field but suitably related to the major subject, somewhat less extensive than the major and not requiring a thesis. Zoology and Botany are considered as separate departments.
{ 3) Other advanced courses sufficient to complete a full year of work and chosen with reference to the needs of the individual student
The major and minor courses must be chosen in subjects in which the student previously has done work of such extent and character as to qualify him for pursuing the graduate courses desired. For a graduate student an average grade which falls below B is unsatisfactory, and in the major and minor subjects a full B average must be maintained . No credit towards a graduate degree will be allowed for any course on which the student makes a grade of D.
A candidate for a graduate degree in science who has had only freshman mathematics is advised to take an additional six hours in the subject.
All graduate matriculations must be completed by October 1 of the current session.
Master of Science in Education
The requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Education which is offered for work done in the Summer School are simitar to the requirements for the Master of Arts or Master of Science except that the student does his major work in the field of Education. This degree may be secured by properly qualified students in three summers. A minimum of 27 hours work ( usually 9 hours each summer) plus a thesis is required. The degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science may also be taken in Summer School, but the degree of Master of Science in Education is particularly adapted for those interested in teaching.
