But und.er anotb-er form and name it had been doing its work during nearly a hundred previous years, and is, therefore, one of the oldest Colleges in the country. At the City of St. Mary's, then the capital of Maryland, as early as 1071, the Upper House of the General Assembly passed an Act "for founding and erecting ·a school or college for the education of youth in learning and virtue." This was followed by the Act of 1696, establishing K1NG W1LLIAM's ScHOOL, which was opened in 1701. Here were educated some of the most distinguished sons of Maryland-physicians, lawyers, statesmen, clergymen-and pre-eminent among the brilliant number was Willliam Pinkney, whose learning and eloquence have a national fame. KING W1Lr,1AM's SCHOOL was, in 1784, merged into St. John's College, which has thus been connected with the State of Maryland from the early times of colonial history. Francis Scott Key, author of our favorite national ode, and Reverdy Johnson, distinguished as a lawyer and a statesman, are an'ong its ~lumni, and many others, scarcely less eminent, could 1Je mentioned. The college is pleasantly situat.en at Annapolis, on the banks of the Severn River, a few miles from the Chesapeake bay. Nothing in the country surpasses the picturesque beauty of its situation. The college green is spacious, amply shaded, and most attractive to the eye, while the campus, in the re<tr, is adITTirably adapted for sports. Bordering the grounds, "College Creek," a branch of the Se\ ern, affords every facility for sw:mming and boating. Indeed, the situation combines every advantage. desirable for a college. The buildings are large, commodious, and well adapted for purposes of both classical and technical education, and could accommodate two hundred students. Annapolis has Railroad communication with Baltimore and ·washington Sl·veral times a day, daily steamboat connection with the former <'ity, and telegraphic c.onnection with eyery part of the country.

Nl �Oircitlar of St. Jolin' s College. REMARKS O.N CO!JKSES. . It is to be seen that in the classical course, the study of Mathematics is discontinued after the :first term of the J"unior year, at which point the study of the sciences begins. The classical student will thus devote some time to scientific study, the particular branches being elective. Also, the student of the Latin Scientific Course, taking no Greek at all, and discontinuing Mathematics at the end of the Junior year, enjoys a fuller course of English, and begins the study of science -earlier than the classical student. In the Scientific and Mechanical Engineering course, in which neither Latin nor Greek is requtred, {except the Latin required for admission,) four y<>ars are given to .Zoology, Botany, Physics, Chemistry, and to Mathematic3. Also, in the Scientific course, four years are given to the study of English. A full course in both French and German is required for every degree. No student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except at the dose of the term, and then only at the wi·itten request of his parent or guardian. . Students pursuing a select course may enter any class for which they are fitted, the number of their studies being subject to the direc tion of the Faculty. -~· Bepa11tmen ts.-~- The course of instruction embraces the following departments : I. Mental, Monil and Social Science.-Includin!? Metaphysics, Logic, Ethics, Natural and Revealed Religion and the Evidences of Christianity and Political Economy. ' II.

Logic.-J evon's-Hill's text book is used. Special care is taken to -enforce a practical application of logical formulas in the resoluti_?n of :arguments, and the det<>ction of sophistries. To this end illustrative examples are drawn from different authors and much oral instruction is giYen. Political Economy.-Instruction is given in Political Economy by means of text books, lectures and conversational discussions. The student is required to he familiar with the leading principles of this subject as presented by the author whnse work is used as a text book, and is then encouraged to study e<'onomical problems of the present time from the historical, and, so far as may be, absolutely impartial standpoint. DEPARTlllEN'l' OF ANCIE~T , i ,I I.A~GU.-\GES. Lnt·in.-The study of Latin extends throughout the classical and Latin Scientific courses. In the work of the Freshman year special attention is given to the structure of the Latin sentence, as illustrated in SPlect portions of the writings of Cicero, Livy, and Horace, and a<t unfolded through fre_ quent written and oral exercises in Latin prose composition. But the ·chief object of the course is the study of Latin literature, through a critical reading of selectioni from the most important authors in historical succession, viz., in the Sophomore year, Cicero, and the Ciceronian and Augustan poets; and iri the Junior anrl Senior years, Plautus, Quintilian, Tacitus, Persius and .Juvenal. This reading is accompanied in the Junior year by a study of topics relating to the history ·of Latin literature. _ Gi·eek.-There will be four recitations a week rn the GrPek course which will extend over three years. During Freshman year the stu<lent will complete the first four books of the Ana basis and will have daily exercises, both orally and at the blackboard, in translating into Greek. Such a drill will be given upon every point of Grammar, that this subject will be thoroughly mastered, before he finislF•s the Anabasis. During the Sr>phomore year, six books of Homer will be read and selections from Herodotus and Thucydides. The Junior class will read the Apology, Crito, Medea, and three Philippics of Demosthenes, all of which will be completed. Lectures will be given in the Freshman and Sophomore classes upon Greek :M:yti1ology, l\1am1ers and Customs. and History of Greek Literature and Greek Art. During the Sophomore and Junior years· d.ily practice will be had in reading at Sight. . I ,I :1 "',! 1.11i �24 Circular of' St. John's College. DEP.-lRT.IIENI' OF MODER~ LANGUAGES. li'1'ench.-During the first year, attention is given to conversation· the study of forms, the construction of sentences, writing French from dictation, acquiring a vocabulary, and reading familiar dialogues. During the second year, special attPntion is given to etymology, thehistory of the language, trans~atio11s from English into French, and reading the classic poets. During the other terms the time is devoterl: to the history of literature, the stu<ly of synonyms, and to extended ·and nl.pid reading of the standarJ authors, and to composition in French. Italian crnd Spnnish.-Tbe study of these languages is entirely elec-tive. Gernian.-There will be three recitations peT week in the German course, extending thf'ough the Sophomore, Junior and Senior years. The class will commence atthe beginning of the term to read Grimm's. Hausmaerchen, Otis' Enitiori, and, in co1;nection "·ith it, will .stuC:y as they need it, Whitney's German Grnmmar. The student will be required daily, both orally and at the blackboard, to translate from English into German. The first year will be given to the Grammmand the J.VIaerchen of which one hundred pages will be read. ,, ,,~ I' Ii I! Ii 11, During the second year William Tell, and Herrman and Dorothea will be completed. 'fhe third year will be given to Maid of Orleans. and first part of Faust, both of which will be completed and to selections from Goethe's Presa. Special attention will be given to speak. ing and writing German correctly. The recitation will be conducted in the second year, as far as possible, and in the third year entirely,. in the German languages. Twelve lectures will be givei;i, during the· course, on the History of German literatnre. 1f ,f i II ! DEPA.R'l'MENT OF ltIA.THEltlATICS. The required studies in Mathematics include Geometry, with problems and exercises in Geom('trical invention ; .Algebra, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, with their application to problems in Surveying and Navigation, and .A.11alytic Geometry, In the Junior year the Rtmly of the Calculus, and in the Senior yea1· of Applied Mechanic8, is pursued in the Scientific and Mechanical En-. gineering courses. Elementary and Practical .Astronomy is taught in the Senior year. DEPARTltlEN'I' OF NATURAL SCIENCE. The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to makeinstruction in Physics and Chemistry a prominent part of the Col- • Circular of Et. John's College. legiate course. .Additions are from time to time made to the philosophical apparatus and every effmt used to make the laboratories and cabinet as complete as possible. Contributions for illus+ration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfuily received. Some important changes having recently been made in this depart-ment, an account of the work as now organized is here given. 1. Zoology.-The atudy of Zoology will be pursued during the first term of the Freshman year. The course consists of daily recitations from text-books, upon classification and descriptions of Animal Kingdom. With this is combined practical work by the student in examining and dissecting a large number of typical species. The proximity of the College to the water affords special advantagPs for the study of marine forms of animal life. 2. Botcmy.-In this branch special attention will be given to systematic Botany, the work consisting of daily recitations from text books, and the class making frequent excursions to the woods so as to study 'bie habitb of the various plants. Students will be required to analyze from 1(:0 to 1:!5 specimPns and are expected to become so familiar· with the charactel'istics of h·enty or more families, that they can recognize at sight plants belonging thereto. In addition, the course ·will include elementary studies in Structural anrl Physiological Botany, the· instruction in which will be largely by lectures. 3. I'hysics.--·This subject is pursued for a year imd a-half. The firstterm of the Sophomore is employed in the study of Mechanics, Dynamics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, etc., also of the subject of Sound. The second te1 m of that year is given to Heat and Light, and the first term of the Junior year to Electricity. The_ work consists of almost dailv recitation from Ganot's Physics, accompanied by more difficult Pxp~riments performed by the Professor. The class will be required, in the solution of a large number of practical problems, to make frequent. application of the principles learned. . . 4. Chemist?'y.-In this branch the second term of the Jumor year is devoted to general Chemistry, particularly of the non-metals, that the stunent may become familfar with the elementary gases and the methods of manufacturing the acids and many other common reagents. The >\'hole of the Senior year is deyoted to Analytical Chemistry .. During the first term the student learns the action of each reagent on the "basis and acids. The work is continued until foe student becomes so familiar with their reactions that he himself can devise methods of separating them from each other. The remainder of the first teTm is then spent in the analysis of known material according to well arranged and easy methods. The course consists of daily work in the laboratory, together with daily recitations on the work of the day previous. The student is early taught to become familiar with the writing of reactions, and an important part of the recitations co1 sists in the expressing, in chemical equations, of the relations previously described. . 1: I, I' I ·111 I �Circular of St. John's College. Circu,lar of St. Joltn's Colle,qe. During the second term, the student is given unknown material con·taining from two to five bases with acids, and he is expected to have become so familiar with the methods of separation, that he can follow the table without text books, and usually, upon the first report name the elements contained in the substance analyzed, and by' solubilities decide approximately what baRes and acids are combinad. During this term also special attention is paid to the writing of oxidation and reduction equations by a new method, whereby the pupil cannot fail to express any reaction however difficult, when he knows the most important substances formed. Lectures in Organic Cl1emistry will also be given, so that the student may learn the simplest facts relating to this subject. The text book is Prescott's smaller or larger Qualitative Analysis. The student is recommended to purchase the latter, because of its being better adapted to the first part of the work here described. A course in Quantitative Anaylsis can be given to any student who may wish to pursue the study further. Each student is provi<led with a table, together with all the common reagents and necesary apparatus. An account is kept of the reagents and apparatus thus provided, as well as of all returned by the student at the end of the year, the charga being made as small as will suffice to cover expenses. The cost of these, mclnding gas, has averaged from $5 to $G per year to each student. Special attention is called to this fact, as it is believed that no college in the land affords its students equal opportunities to become thoroughly acquainted with qualitative analysis at so small a cost. ·currence, which afford an ·illustration of the principles of International Law, will be discussed. The subjeGt is bken up i.n tbe fii:st term of the Senior year. Oon8titutional Lctw.'-Text book, Cooley's Constitutional Law. For J:eference, Kent's Commentaries is used. Reference will be made to important decisions as rendered when they may afford additional illustritions of the principles of Constitutional Law. The subject will be taken up in the second term of the Senior year. Elocution.-The Senior and Junfor classes will be given instruction in Elocution for one hour every week. :26 DEPART.lIENT OF HIS'rORY, THE ENGLISH LA~GUAGE, LIT· .l'lKATLTl.lJ<.: AND LA,V. In this department instruction will be givenIn History.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman History is believed to be the basis of all historical study, and these will first be carefully learned. This will be followed with a general outline ·of history as contained in Myers' Manual of Medireval and Modern History. In the English and .Anglo-Sci.von Languages and thefr Literature:. Und<>r this head the art of Composition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written composition and declamation; this will be followed lJy a study of the historical grammar of the the language. The history of English li:erature will then be taken up, and the lives of the authors studied in connection with specimens of their writings which will be criticised in class. After this, the English of Shakespeare will be made a special subject of the study, and the most marked points of difference between ElizabP.than and modern English noted and commented on, which will be included in the ·critical :>tudy of some one of the IJlays of Shakespeare. Internatia1wl Lctw.-Text book, Davis's International Law. For ref:rence, \Yoolsey's International Law is used. Events of recent oc- 27 /'DEPARTllENT OF MECH \.NICAL ENGINEERING. The course in this Department will cover four years and consist of both th3oretical and practical instruction. A work-shop has been -0pened, in which each engineering student is required to spend sev.eral hours per week. This shop will be enlarged as circumstances demand. Each student also has several hours' practice per week in the Drawing-room, receiving instruction in mechanical, linear-perspective, isometrical and free-hand drawing. In connection with this branch, during the Sophomore and Junior years, each Student has one problem per week in Descriptive Geometry. These problems are made as practical as possible. The Junior and Senior students have practice in designing, and each one is required to make complete working drawings of at least one machine of his own desig1;. The lectures in Design ancl Fabrication of Machinery, and in Con,tracts and Estimates, cover the Junior and Senior years, and are con.sidered a very important part of the course. For outline of the course, arranged by ye&rs and terms, see pages 20 and 21. ::, '' ! i <flOURSE IN SHOPS, Al'COJUPANYING THE COURSE IN ltIECHAN.

The ~tudent is required in the recitation room to solve problems relating to the location of simple and compound railroad curves, and is taught the application of the primoidal formula to the calculation of earthworks. He is also taught the practical use of the transit and level in the field, and studies land surveying, the laying off and dividing up of land and calculating the contents. 'l'he text book used is. Davis' surveying (Van Amrige). EXAMI'\ATION, REPORT, COSDU<T. ·written examinations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks of these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations, to make up the student's slanding for the term. Any student, whose examinations at the close· of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the ne11:t year, an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lowe1· class. A student deficient in knowlege, or pPrsistently'' neglectful of any study, is at any tir. .1e liable to be reducer1 to a lower class in that study. A merit roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from U to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a hig'rnr class in any study, each student must obtain an average of 8.0 on the recitations and on the examinations of the whole session. This average is arrived at by taking twice the recitation mark, adLling thereto the examination mark and divic1ing the same by 3. LFormula 2 R-;~] [ . ' 3 -average work. ] provided also, that the examinat'on mark in that study be not less· than 2.75. '' '·' First and second honors on Gra<luation Day are given to those stn-dents respectively, who shall have obtained the highest and next highest average mark in all studies from the beginning of the Sophomore year. Demerits will be given for all absences not excused, and for· violations of college regulations. Reports respecting conduct ancl scholarship will be sent every month to the parents or guardians of students. Whenever any student of the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 forthe year, he must leave the institution. Each student is required to obey all the laws of the College so long as he shall remain a member of it, and whenever any student can no. longer cheerfully comply with the College rules he will be required to. leave the institution. ii' ,, . Circitlar of H. John's College. 29 All students are req_uired to be present. promptly on the-openinz day of the session, and no student will be· permitted to leave the Co1lege while the College exerciRes are progressing, except in cases of urgent n<>cessity, and at the written request of his parent or guardian. Each student of the College Department may absent himself with-out penalty from recitations during the term, such .,absence to be designated "a cut," but not more than three cuts can be taken in any one branch of learning. Excepting these cuts the student will be marked zero for each and every absence whatsoever from recitations, and shall also receive 10 demerits if the excuse for the absence is not satisfactory. All absences owing to prolonged illness may be considered by the Faculty, upon the recommendation of the Principal, or upon the certificate of a recognized physician. Certificates of Distinction of the J!'ii;st and Second Grade are presented those students in any class who shall have obtain'3d an average of 4.5 and of 4, respectively, in all their studies, and shall have been satisfactory in conduct for the academic year. Students who have obtained an average of 4.5 in any one branch of study are honorably mentioned ; but no student is honorably mentioned, nor is any certificate or degree conferred upon any student who bas failed to receive tbe p'assing mark (3) iii any study fo:r the ac:cdemic year. INSPEC'l'ION OF DORMITORIES. An inspection of every room is made daily in the morning before breakfast by the Superintendent of the halls, at which time the rooms must be openPd and students dressed. The rooms of students are also inspected by the Superintendent at the commencement of study hours, and are liable to official visitation by any member of the Faculty, or the Offi.cers of the Day at any hour. A final inspection is taken at 10.30 p. m., when students art' required to retire and to be in their rooms for that purpo3e two minutes after "taps," (10.25). All lights in the Dormitories must be extinguished at 10.30. L1BKARY AND READING ROOJI. Through the liberality of the Legislatur'e of 1872, and donations from the classes of '71, '·72 and '73, extensive additions have been made to the library, and by means of the regular library fund, subscriptions have been made to a number of American and Foreign periodicals. A complete library being an indispensably auxiliary to the intellectual advancement of professors !md students, its claims are commended. to the alumni and to the friends of education in the State. Any co.ntributions of books or funds will be gratefully acknowledged, There are now on the shelves about 6,000 volumes, which are carefully classified and catalogued, thus formin~ an admirable working library for the student.

LI'l'ER "RY SOCIETIES. , There are two Literary Societies (the Philokalian and the Philomathean) among the students, which afford opportunities for the cultiviition of composition and debate. An oration. is usually delivered before the societies, upon the Monday and Tuesclay preceding CommencPment Day, by some gentleman selected by them. SOCJIETY OF A.LUMNJ T~e Society of Alumni hold~ its annual meetings on the day pre- cedmg Commencement Day, on which occasion an oration is delivered by .one of .its membe:s. All former students who have completed theu collegiate educat10n (whether graduates or not) at St. John's College, and left in .good standing, are considered members of this society, It. numbers on its roll many names prominent in the history of the State. . PUBl,I{.l l\OR~HIP AND RELIGIOU<i IN'S'I'RUCJTION ' ,'I The exercises o~ each day are opened with the reading of th~ Scriptures and prayer m the College Hall. It mn~t.not J_ie assun;ied,. b~cause St.John's is a non-sectarian college, that rehg10us rnstruct10n is ignored in its work and government. On the contrary, every opportunity will be offered for the fullest development of the Christian character. The study of Christian Evidences is assigned an ·important part in the College curriculum. All students are required to attend public worship on Sundays, and at other times> at such church as their parents may direct. Arrangements have bePn made by the College authorities wiJ;h the clergy of the several denorn· inat~on~ of Ann.apo~is, by which students may ~njoy the advantages of special rnstruct10n m the tenets of their respective churches. The Principal holds a Bible-Class every Sunday morning in the Col lege Chapel from 9.45 to 10.30, A. M., to which all students of whatever denomination are invited. TERMS A.ND 'VACATIONS.

'l'HE COLI.EGE (JO:tlllO!'llS, •IJli I Gircv.lar of St. Jolzn' s College. Circitlar of St. John's College. This Dep:i.rtment is mana~ed by an Alumnus of the College of experience m i:mch matters, under the supervision of the Principal and is conducted on a most liberal sc:ile. The board provided is of superior quality, proper Yariety and liberal in quantity. · The regular charge in the C:ollege Commons including room-rent, table-boanl, attendance of seryants, heating, lighting and washing, is $200 per annum. Students boarding in the Commons therefore pay in full for the items above mentioned. with tuition charge added, per annum, as follows : In the Collegiate Department ............................... $ 275 00 In the First Preparatory Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 260 00 In the Second Preparatory Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 250 00 In the Third Preparatory Class. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 240 00 By authority of the Boa:r:d of Visitors and Governors, the Principal • .f the College and the Steward of the Corn.mans may in their discretion grant to the sons of Clergymen and other deserving pupils, of limited means,· special annual Schola1·ships, revocable, for cause, by which the entire annual charges, as above, may be reduced to range from $200 to $150 according to circumstances. Students obtaining such scholarships pay for board, heating, lights, &c.. including wa,shing. from $2.75 to $3.64 per week· CO·OPEKATIVE BOARDING. A co-operative boarding club was 0rganized at the beginning of Session '87-'88, also for the purpose of placing the advantages of the College 33 within the reach of sturlents of limited mer.ns. It has been carried -on sucessfully during the year under the supervision of the Prindpal of the College. It now numbers twenty-five members. The club is managed by a commissary, -.Yho collects from its members their shares of its monthly expenses, pays the bills and receives for his services a small payment from each member of the club. The commissary is always in such cases a student, and students work their way through colleges as commissaries. U nd(;lr this system at the close of each month, an inventory is taken all accounts are settled and the expenses are divided among the members of the club. An auditing committee is then appointed each 1uonth by the club, to examim.1 the books of the commissary, and to report to the club. Each member must advance $10.00 at the commencement of each month, and at the close must pay the balance due, as no deficit is allowed to run into the following month. The cost of beating by steam must also· be paid in advance to the Treasurer of the College according to assessment. at the beginning of each term. Durina the session 1889-'90 the total expenses of the members of the dub for"'board, heat, light, compensation of commissary and care of rooms have varied from $3.89 in March, to $2.85 per week in May. -Owing to higher prices during the past year for _most articles of food, the average cost has been $3.38 per week. Wash mg has been $1.5.0 per month. The total expense!< of a student in the College Department for the past year, boarding in the club, have been as follows: 38 weeks board at $3.38 per we.ek, including steam heat $16.10. $128 44 !J months washinll at $1.50................................ .. . . 13 50 Rent of Furniture............................................ 6 00 Tuition .................................. ·................... 75 00 <Jhurch Fee.................................................. 3 l~J Room for rent to be charge next session about........ . . . . . . . 15 00 .1 i1,I Total expenses .............................................. $240 94 ---- Cullege Department, (tuition $75.00) (as aboye) ................ $240 \l4 1st Prep.

The law requires that the candidates shall produce before the Board of School Commissioners satisfactory evidence of their moral character, and of their inability or the inability of their parents or guardians, to pay the regular College charges. A blank form of certificate, drawn in conformity to the above law, will be forwarded to the Secretaries of the . several School Boards for the use of the appointees to the said scholarships. These scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incmnbents are required by law to pledge themsel V!:'S that they will continue students of the College for the full term of four years, unless prevented by unavoidable ne~essity,. and that they will teach school within the State for not less than tw(}years·after leaving College. To obta,in a .full collegiate education, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially to appoint none defir.ient in preparation. The Faculty is empowered to extend the term of these scholarships one year in ci:ise of worthy students. The incumbents of these scholarships will hereafter be required to provide their own text-books. There are known to be at this date (June 10, 1891J, four vacancies in these scholarships, viz : one each from the counties of Dorchester, Garrett, CeciI and Baltimore city. In filling these vacancies the Boards of School Commissioners are requested (other things bPing equal) to ,appoint those candidates who are not less than sixteen -years of age, and are most advanced in their studies. It is desired that all applicants hereafter should be prepared in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the Freshman Class of the College. ~ The Secretaries of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the President of the College the names of those former incumbents of these scholarships who are now, or may hereafter be, employed in teaching in their respective counties or in the City of Baltimore.

The Instructor in charge of the Military Department is an officer of the Regular Army and. a graduate of tbe U. S. Military Academy, ·west Point, N. Y. '.rhe military exercises therein conducted are confidently recommended to parents and guardians as a means of giving to .the student I .:an erect carriage and soldierly bearing, of teaching him hahits of J>rompt and ready obedience, and of affording a systematic and healthy ·exercise each day. The drill takes place at such an hour in the morning as to constitute a recess in study and recitation. All students, ·-excevt those physically disqualified, are required to attend the drills, .and for those who apply to be excused because of physical disability a physician's certificate will be required. The nam<>s of three of the students most distinguished for their pr<•·ficiency in thiH departmen~ ate reported each year to the Adjutant ·General of the State, and to the ·war Department, at Washington. It is probable that, in future appointments to the Army from civil life, applications from students reported, in each State, as above, will be given the preference. I. ORGANIZcl.TJON. For purposes of tactical instruction, the students will be organized rinto a batta~ion of two or more companies, designated <.:ompanies "A," "'B," "C," &c., Corps of Cadets of St. John's College. The Staff will consist of an Adjutant, a Quarter-Master, a Ser!teant~Major,· and a Quartermaster Sergeant. Each Company will have the following Officers and Non-Comnnissioned Officers : One Captain, two Lieutenants, one First Ser:geant, four Duty Sergeants, four Corporals. There will also be one Musician with each Company. The Officers 'and Non-Commissioned Officers will be selected by the Commandant ·of Cadets, with the approval of the Principal, for their soldierly bearing and attention to and knowledge of military duty. As a rule, these .11,p,pointments· will be made according to classes. 37 P'KACTH1AL I'.\'STR,'C'CTION. The practical instruction in this school will consist of drills of not more than one hour's duration, on four days of each week. TheCadets will be exercised and instructed during the year in the Infantry Tactics of the U.S. Army, comprising the School of the Soldier,. the School of the Company, and the School of the Battalion. Instruction in Artillery Tactics will be given in the School of the Soldier Dismounted, comprising Manual of the Piece, Mechanical Maneuvres, and School of the Battery Dismounted. Breech-loading rifles with accoutrements, and three inch field guns. with necessary ammunition are supplied by the Ordnance Department, U.S. Army. III. THEORE1.'JCAL J!.YST 1UCl'ION. This will comprise recitations in Infantry and Artillery Tactics, portions of U. S. Army Regulations and Military Law, to which will be "added a course of Lectures on Military Subjects, including: 1st. Strategy, under which is considered Organizations of Armies, Preparations for War and Operations of War. 2nd. Grand Tactics, treating of the Tactics of Marches, ManeuvreMarches, Combats, Battles, Pursuits and Retreats . 3rd. Minor Tactics. CONCERNING UNIFORU AND REGULATIONS. The uniform is required to be worn on all drills, parades, and other· military duties, and all C0llege students are required to provide themselves with it. To insure uniformity in material and pattern, it is advisable that all uniforms 'ue made under a contract which the College authorities have entered into with Messrs. Oehm & Co., Baltimore, Md., for furnishing the same. 1 The uniform of the Corps of Cadets, which is a modification of that worn at the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., will be as. follows: Dress coat and trouser11 of grey, the prices of the suit· range from $18 to $20, according to size of cadet. Fatigue blouse (which can be worn with trousers, as above) cost. $10.25. Forage cap of dark blue cloth, with ornaments, consisting of gold' embroidered wreath on dark blue ground encircling the letters "S. J .. c,," in old English characters. Price.$2.00. The purchase of the fatigue blouse is optional, but it is suggested to. parents that by providing their sons with both dress and fatigue suits. the necessity of providing every day or school suits is obviated. The· uniform is very substantial and wears satisfactorily. The dress uniform may also be worn, on occasions, as an evening dress suit. No uniform will be accepted until after having been inspected by· the Principal or Instructor . "'""" �38 Circular of St. John's College. Chevrons for Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers will be 01' gold lace on dark blue ground. All Cadets who have served one year in the Corps are permitted to wear upon their sleeves below the elbow, a diagonal half chevron of gold lace, and an additional half chevron above and parallel to the first, for each subsequent year of service. Competitive drills and target practice are· held at the close of the session. The best drilled Company is distinguished as the "Color" Company, and the colors are borne by that Company in Battalion formations. Badges of honor are awarded to the best drilled cadets and prizes are offered for the best score at rifle practice. The honors of the Battalion were carried off by Company "0,'' to which the custody of the Colors was assigned. · Circular of St. Joltn' s College. 39 I'· I. I ST.

This School is es:abished primarily as a means of preparin"' boys t0> matriculate at- St. John's College. It is not an organic part of theCollege, but is under the supervision of the President of the College. The number of boys in the School has much increased during lateyears, and the outlook for the future is very promising. ACCOMMOD 1.TION. The boys, who come from a distance, may board in Humphreys' Hall.' which is reserved exclusively for their use, or, if preferred, may obtam board with private families in town, approved bv the authorities of the College, or in clubs, managed by the studen.ts of the Col-lege, whereby the cost of boarding is materially decreased. The rooms in1Humphreys' Hall are large and commoJious, and are lighted by electricity and heated by steam. As a rule, one- room is. occupied by two students, but a room can be secured for a single occu-pant by an extra payment for room rent. ADllISSION TO THE l'ilCHOOL. No boy will be received into the Preparatory School under twelveyears of age, and candidates for admission into the lowest class must be well grounded in the elements of a ririmary English education, viz :English Grammar, Arithmetic, Spelling, Reading and Geography. A boy, upon entering the Preparatory School, must take all the studies of t~rn _class to which he is assigned, the only exception being that of Latm m the lowest class ; and any boy who shall fail to obtain a general av~rage of 3.0 in all studies pursued by him during the year, will be reqmred to pursue the same course of study again durin"' the fol0 lowing year. . · SUPERVISION. The boys, who board in the College Hall, are under the direct super-vion of three Instructors, whose rooms are in th_e same bu1lding. A matron, whfl also ha!' apartments in the Hall, looks after and attends to their personal wants. They study their lessons under the supervision of an Instructor in one of the Col1ege class-rooms from 7.30 until 9.30 p. m., every evening, and are required to retire for the night at. 10 p. m , at which hour all lights in their rooms must be· extinguished. No boy is allowed to leave the College grounds at any time, unless he shall have obtained special permission from the Principal to do so. The use of tobacco in any shape or form is strictly forbidden and_ violation of this rule will render a boy liable to auspension. , ; . ' _ MILITARY DRILL. The boys, who are old enough, are' permitted to drill with the College Battalion and are required to wear the prescribed uniform. 'fheyounger boys are drilled in a squad by themselves. They are not required to wear the uniform until they are sufficiently advanced and old enough to dri-1 with the Battalion. Circ11lar of St. John's College. 45 GYMNASIUM. An excellent gyw.1asium furnishes all the requisites for physical training. The boys are instructed three times a week in dumb-bell -exercises ·and club swinging by a competent director, who is always -present, and is careful to see that no hazardous gymnastic exercises me attempted by them. I' ,I I LIT ERA.RY SOCIETY. By permission of the Faculty a room has been assigned for the use -0f the Preparatory School, in which the boys meet once a·-week and J>Ursue a series of readings, recitations and debates, after the model of ·the older literary societies, conducted by the students of the College. ·The Principal and Instructors of the School afford such help as may be derived from their suggestions and criticisms, but the society is managed by an executive committee, elected by the boys themselves from among their own number.

Such men and women are best equipped to master the specific skills of any •' 0 •·Alh·i•:"•'""'"" calling and to become mature, competent and responsible citizens of a free society. -~~~iiill St. John's College believes that the way to liberal education lies through the books in which the greatest minds of our civilization-the gr.;;at teachers-have expressed themselves. These books are both timeless and they not only illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, but also have great relevance to the contemporary with which vve have to deaL They can therefore enter directly into our everyday lives. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not something of academic concern, remote from our real interests. They change our move our hearts and touch our The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human lend themselves to different that reveal a and yet complementary meanings. while please us as works of art with a clarity and a that their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly great, whether are poems or political treatises, and w·hether their subject matter is scientific, historical or philosophicaL They are also linked for each of thern is introduced, or criticized by the others. In a real sense they converse with each and they draw each reader to take part, ·within the limits of his ability, in their large and unending conversation. This conversation, ho·Never, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we sometimes desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St seminar. Here, a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced a text that may present unfamiliar ideas, attempt to discuss it reasonlt is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their to one another's critical scrutiny. The demands of the individual those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern its-::lf with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more or with very questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to seminar the assumptions they have deri~ed from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the same- THE INTRODUCTION I 7 ness of .a recurre~t problem. and ~he. variety of i~s historical manifestations. Prmc1pally, nowever, the aun is to ascertam not how things were, but !'.ow thml?s.are-to help the student make rational decisions as he his h~e. Ai:d it 11s the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of and d1scuss10n tnus begun by the student should continue with him throughout life. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is r~ade to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutor functions as a guide, more intent to listen to the students and to work with them than to impose upon them his own train of thought. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about a 1~ awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so they become means of understanding. the hberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic- the arts guage; and arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy-the arts of mathe'.natics. In more contemporary terms, the arts bring to light what is mvolved ~n the use of words and .numbers in all of discursive thought, m analysm?, speaking and wntmg, and also in measuring, deducing and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes five of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment and mathematical demonstration. They are followed in all branches of the program But whatever the methods used, they all serve the same end: to invite the student to think for himself, to enable him to practice the arts of freedom. Free minds must be able to envisage concrete situations, to deliberate by la ting clear alternatives, and to arrive at a deciding choice. The acquisition of these mtellectual skills indicates that the discipline of the liberal arts has taken hold of the learning mind. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of man may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one forrn or another They enable men to win knowledge of the vvorlcl around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that with wisdom. Under their guidance men can free themselves frorn the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten Under their men can acquire the habit of A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid most far reaching of all human goals. Evans Laboratory Building with Sangre de Cristo Mountains in background, Santa Fe �THE CURRICULUM I 9 8 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE CURRICUWM THE SEMINAR The heart of the curriculum is the seminar-a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar there are seventeen to twenty-one students with two memb~rs of the faculty as leaders. The group meets t~ice a week, on Monday and Thursday_ evemng~, from eight until ten-or well beyond if _the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around a hundred pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. f th l d Th re The seminar begins with a question asked by one o. e e_a ers. e after the seminar consists almost entirely of student discus~10nh ~tuhdenJs talk with one another, not just to the leaders. Th~y do no_t raise t eir ~ s for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or witfhdral fror;I it a~ will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of orma mo es 0 address. f I f om Once under way the seminar may take many orms · t may ra~ge r the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucy~ides, for example is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and agg~essH;mdand to bring to' the surface the students' opinions and fears about _t e wis horn or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflect10ns on uman virtues and vices, on man's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument-an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their inte{play with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy and requires a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of individuals, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. Or it may climb to heights accessible to only a few of its members. Under these circumstances the role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections, to help the student in every way possible to understand the author, the issues and himself. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But a leader may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If he does so, however, he can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority; all opinions must be rationally defended and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the student's powers of reason and understanding and to help him arrive at intelligent opinions of his own. Every freshman, sophomore and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the student to set out in writing, as clearly as he can, his own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of his final oral examination. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling. (See page 34). �THE CURRICULUM / 11 10 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE TU'"fORlALS THE PRECEPTORIAL For about nine weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small "roups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of sixteen to twenty pn:ceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptonals may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally seven or eight students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the sernmar Usually the student's work is completed by the wntmg of a which may be read in draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the members. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. 0 Tolstoy: Anna Karenina Adams: The Education of Henry Adams Common Law Adjudication and Philosophical Justice Freud: Selected Papers on Neurosis and Related Topics Kierkegaard: Fear and Trembling Aristophanes: The Birds (in Greek) Burke, Paine and Toqueville: Selected Works Force and Energy in Descartes, Newton and Leibniz Goethe's Novels Plato: Phaedrus Whitehead Selected Works WaJlace Stevens Arendt: The human Condiiwn Joyce: Early Works Aristotle's Theory of lvl.otion Astronomia Nova Sartre: Being and Nothingness Plotinus: Thircl Ennead Ibsen and Chekov Design and Expression in the Visual Arts William Blake: Selected Works The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persisteni:ly precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics and music.. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three or four times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to fifteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for collaborative study and for the manifold teaching and learning relations that hold in a company of people learning togetheL As in the seminar, sludents talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for each student to contribute his measure of instruction and insight to his fellows" Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject which they may later teach. \IVrihng assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music and laboratory sections as well as in language tutorials. The student is thus called upon continually to articulate and organize his in both the written and spoken forms. THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL Specialization in higher education has led to a profound of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by a training in the means of precise corn.munication and effective persuasion. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other To do this it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and the logical relations between proposi hons. The study of foreign languages (Greek in th€ first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the student learns something of the nature of languages in general and of his own in particular. During the four years, then, he studies language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, he studies his own language. He discovers the resources of articulate speech and learns the rules that must govern it if it is to be dear, consistent and effective-if it is to be adequate and persuasive. �12 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE CURRICULUM/ 13 In the beginning the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one which is concerned 'with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work Those are matters that do not often come directly into seminar discussions. The student's concern with them in the language tutorial improves all his reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches his understanding, and increases his ability to think dearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar, Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore which might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits, This habit of precision, in its turn, becomes more common in the seminar Though the language tutorial cannot and should not aim at a mastery of the foreign languages, the student can reasonably expect to attain a knowledge of their grammatical forms and a grasp of their peculiar qualities, To experience the of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility The choice of languages is in part dictated the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes with th.;: freshman seminar and rnath::matics and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second yea.rends with and discussion of works Shakespeare, Donne and other The French of the year begins with a brief, intensive of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading and writing of simple French. Students already fluent in French 111ay be exempted from these early stages, Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections, Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the student attempts to match in his own tongue the excellence of his mod':'k In the second senlester a is read-Racifie's Phedre. The principal of the fourth ynr is the reading of French poems, including a considerable number from Baudelaire's Fleurs du 11/Ial. Its irnmediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the rdation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. V\friting assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than these attempted in the third yeaL One of Molien:'s.comedies is read-either Tartuffe or Le Misanthrope. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modem British and American poets, such as T.So Eliot, Dylan Thomas, VV"B Yeats and Wallace Stevens. THE MA THEIVIA TICS TUTOPJAl Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meanin" "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike math:matics or to think of themselves as unmathematicaL It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. VVhen mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one which provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. 0 0 There are' two main reasons for studying mathematics it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines iL Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate 1Nith this world not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is m.anaged, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count a.nd measure the things in the universe. The second rnain reason for studying mathema.tics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard and solve problems doing this over four years they learn a good deal of mathematics, and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagin3tion and elegance of expression. But while are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are exam- �14 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? iNhat is the relation of logic to mathematics? Are there "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial which is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The student begins with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's zation of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the student gains a notion of deductive science and of a mathernatical system in general; he becomes acquainted with one view of mathematical objects-its central expression found in the theory of ratios-which is buried under the foundations of modem mathematics. After Euclid he begins the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, his attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at SL John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical of the heavenly but he gives more than that his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a comto the philosophical, poetic and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year the student continues the of Ptolemy, vvith emphasis those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system which are resolved by the revolution. He studies into heliocentric form. Copernicus's transformation of the Ptolemaic He next takes up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic of the very objects whose analytical treatment Descartes marks the of modern mathematics. After this he analytic geometry, presents the conic sections in algebraic form. He thus gains an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in generaL In the third year calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a ngorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The student then returns to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a "dynamic" in which orbits are determined laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year the reading of Lobachevski's approach to nonEuclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the goemetric art as a whole This is followed by the study of Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. On the Annapolis campus, there is an alternate program for the latter half of the year: some of the students projective geometry, in which the enterprise which began with Euclid returns in a remarkable way, n01N generalized, to its starting THE CURRICULUM/ 15 THE MUSK TUTORIAL One of the aims of St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed towards performance but towards an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based for them on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place the second semester the students perform some primarily by singing, and the great choral works. the sophomore year a tutorial meets three times a week. The music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand music is intimately related to language, rhetoric and poetry. On the other it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial mcludes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint and None of these is done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the rnasses of Palestrina, the operas of Mozart and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester at least one major work is analyzed Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text students listen to recordings of a composition and fami!arize themselves vvith its score before the seminar meet3. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. of �16 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE CURRICULUM / 17 THE LABORATORY The emblem of the SL John's program on the back cover shows seven books surrounding a pair of scales. The balance, no less than the books, symbolizes the tradition of the liberal arts. It stands for the instruments of the scientific laboratory, which may well be the most characteristic institution of the modern world. Three hundred years ago algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great re'1olutions in industry, politics, morals and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal of the St. John's program and one which the College takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last t1rvo years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period frorn Homer to Descartes. Modem mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the conseconceived by the great thinkers of the quence of the vast project of sevenl:eenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hanrl that us to relate our exoeriences to our understanding. For this ~ur~-ose St. has set up a thre~-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology and chermstry are pursued. There is the art of measuremen.t, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported the mathematics tutorials, which provide a dear understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a of skills derived from the practice of the liberal arts. The College does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the hurnanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. There need not be "tiNO cultures." Different fo~lds of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION THE LABORATORY The laboratory program is largely determined three considerations releThe formally scheduled vant to the liberalization of the study of science: experimental work must be combined with a and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the student to trace a scientific to its roots in principle, assumption and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters aI"e to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The student must have time to satisfy himself as to the degree of accuracy his instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can he come to a mature understanding of the snences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of seventeen to twenty-one students under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week" A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. Occasionally a laboratory meeting is reserved for the discussion of a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the College the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �THE CURRICULUM / 19 18 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE LABORATORY TOPICS The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological science. The sequence of study may be outlmed as follows: 1st Year 12 weeks: 20 weeks: 3rd Year 4th Year 10 weeks: 18 weeks: Observational biology Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry , , Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electnc1ty, magnetism Quantum physics Genetics, evolution, moleculary biology THE FIRST YEAR The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in , _ biology: classfication of types, anatomical st~ucture, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, embryological development.

The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination_ THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot and Maxwell, The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials, As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy and potential fields, to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas_ The concepts of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light-corpuscular and wave-and the success of either theory in accounting for optical is examined_ The phenomena and processes of thought leading to the first and second laws o(thermodynamics are given careful consideration_ The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic of light. THE YEAR In many ways the vvork of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshrnen. During the first ten weeks, the senior takes up anew the theory of atomism -but the atom itself has become object study, Prepared his work with electrical phenomena, th.;: student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that lead to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the vvave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning_ the course of thought in Schrodinger's What is Life?, the senior laboratory then turns or returns to biological topics, and first to genetics, to Mendel's theory of heredity and its development through the experimentation and interpretation by TH. Morgan and his associates_ The results studies of bacteria populations are considered from the standof their evolutionary significance, in the papers of Hardt and of Luria and Delbruck. Next, fundamental papers leading to present-day molecular biology-for instance by Beadle and Tatum, Watson and Crick, Jacob and !Vlonod-are studied. of 0 �THE CURRICULUM/ 21 20 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the student has an opportunity to listen and attentively The subject may be closely connected with seminar readngs or it rnay open up a new field of interest and test the student's readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the SL John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or frorn the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturer submits himself to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the student the habit of listening and following the exposition of a he may not be farniliar and it also provides him an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise his dialectical skill in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that he can himself test the degree of his understanding and the applicability of what he has learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the student is confronted with views on a given Some of the lectures have immediate in the seminars tutorials, Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that a student's work takes within the framework of the program, LECTURES AND CONCERTS The list below provides some examples of lectures and concerts given on one or the other campus in recent years: "The Growth of Presidential Power" William Goldsmith "Genesis" Robert D. Sacks Aeolian Quintet "Why Should Gloucester Attempt Suicide and Why Must Cordelia Die" John Steadman "Changing Trends in 20th Century Pairttings and Sculpture" Adelyn Breeskin "The 18th Century Background to Gibbon" Arnaldo Momigliano Sequoia String Quartet "Languages,Philosophy and Science" Stillman Drake "The CoHapse of Democracy at Athens and the Trial of Socrates" Leo Rad1tsa "On the Translation of Rimbaud's Poetry" Jonathan Griffin 'The Vapheio Cups" Ellen Davis "John Milton: The Solitary Louis L IV!artz to Paradise" "The Geometrical Vision" Howard Fisher "Angels in Paradise Each with His Hand in a Jar of Spermacetti" Galway Kinnell ~ "The Brothers Karamazov" Michael Ossorgin 'The Question of Beauty: The Early Christian Arts" Charles Bell "Rousseau and Democracy: The Design of the Social Contract" Hilail Gilden "Watching Television" Roger Rosenblatt �22 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ST. JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The books that serve as the core of the curriculum were chosen over a period of nearly forty years, first at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, at the University of Virginia and, since 1937, at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. Something over two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, medieval and Renaissance periods; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply an historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John's curriculum seeks to convey to the student an understanding of fundamental problems that man has to face today and at all times. In doing that it may help the student to discover a new kind of historical perspective and perceive through all the historical shifts and changes the permanence and ever present gravity of human issues. The list of books which constitute the core of the St. John's program is subject to review and revision by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses. Books read only in part are indicated by an asterisk.

JOHN'S COLLEGE THE ACADEMIC ORDER THE TUTORS At St. John's the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying from the works of the principal teacher of the classit might be Plato or Newton-usually an author of one of the great books, who wrote from the high point of his learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 29 First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, a tutor with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare himself to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to become competent to teach the St. John's program. This is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. He is, and has to be, a teaching member of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and he is continually teaching his colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the everpresent danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. They engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. THE INSTRUCTION COMMIITEE The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the Deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the President on appointments to the faculty. The Committee consists of the Deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the College; the President and the Provost sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. Each Dean is the chairman of the Instruction Committee on the campus where he serves; the members of the Committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet at frequent intervals throughout the year. The full Committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the Deans alternate as chairman of the Instruction Committee. �30 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 31 THE LIBRARY SCriEDULES The books chosen for study at SL John's are collected in the library in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These books form the core of the library, essential to the teaching of the program. A good general collection is a necessary supplement; the college has little need for a specialized, highly technical collection. Each year books are purchased in mathematics, science, philosophy, religion, fine arts, music, poetry, literature and history and many other fields. The library subscribes to representative periodicals and newspapers. A committee of the faculty assists the Librarians in selecting books and periodicals. The library maintains a collection of about 80,000 volumes. In Santa Fe, collection now numbers over 51,000. Perhaps the most distinctive mark of SL John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time wHh the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the fone of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and serninar leaders are about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of have a common ground for conversation.

Each morning for either three or four days a week they spend one hour in a language tutorial and one hour in a mathematics tutorial; sophomores also spend four hours a week in a music tutorial. Twice a week freshmen, juniors and seniors spend up to three hours in the laboratory Two evenings from eight to ten they atte~d a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each. �32 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ESSAYS EXAMINATIONS Annually in and each semester in Santa Fe every freshman, sophomore and junior submits an essay to his seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the program_ ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar The student is questioned freely and informally on the texts he has read or the paper he has written and on his critical and opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much the student remembers. He is encouraged to consider the different parts of his study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of his classes. For freshmen the first oral examination of the year is given before the vvinter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin THE "-''-"""'''-"-"' EXA1\1INATION his sophomore year, each student must pass an examination in elealgebra and THE FRENCH READING year, each student must pass an exarnination to demonof the French language. The senior oral enabling examination is given to the student in the fo.ll at the beginning of the fourth year It is focused on a number of books from the seminar lists assigned for rereading and study during the preceding summer_ The passing of this examination confirms a student's status as a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. THE FINAt ESSAY AND ORAL EXAivHNATION In the senior year the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of his four years' vvork. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts_ Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes, If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined upon it by the committee in an hour-long public examination, No degree is avvarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory, The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. �THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 35 34 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE ACADEMIC STANDII'JG Because SL John's classes are small and intimate, and because students paractively, every tutor is aware of his students' progress f~om, to The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student s tocal performance as a member of his tutorials and seminar. .

Ai-ID CAREERS A.FTER ST. JOHN'S Each year many St seniors elect to do advanced ·work in a wide range of graduate and professional schools Experience shows that leading universities admit St. John's graduates with creditable records. Since St. offers no in specific subjects, however, some may find it necessary to take undergraduate courses during their first year of graduate or professional study in some, but not fields. other graduates choose to embark directly upon careers ma variety of Their undergraduate background-especially its scope and its emphasis on thoughtful inquil11 and subsequent application of principleshas been found lo be an excellent preparation for employment, St refuses to accept the imposition of preprofessional specialized requirements on its liberal curriculum. The College believes that to educate men and women requires less, and yet far more, than is required to satisfy the shifting standards of conventional specialized education. �36 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 37 The following table shows the professions or fields of advanced study entered by one or more St. John's graduates; law, mathematics, philosophy, education, medicine and theology have attracted the greatest numbers.

JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS A tutor who has completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a Master's degree in Liberal Arts. He must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present himself as a candidate for the degree. He must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE LIBERAL EDUCATION A graduate program, leading to the M.A. degree in the liberal arts, is conducted by the Graduate Institute year-round on the Santa Fe campus and during the summer in Annapolis. H is designed for graduates of colleges other than St. John's and is particularly well suited to the needs of highschool teachers. The program, which is based on the St. John's list of readings, is divided into four subject areas: Politics and Society, Literature, Philosophy and Theology, and Mathematics and Natural Science. Each summer session lasts eight weeks and consists of seminars, tutorials and preceptorials. The seminars are modeled on those of the undergraduate college; they are limited to about twenty students. The tutorials are smaller classes devoted to the close reading of texts. In the preceptorial the student chooses a topic pertaining to one of the books studied and, under faculty guidance, writes a long essay. For each section of the program nine credits are granted. All four sections are required for the degree, though students who have previous graduate credit may be eligible for the degree after three summers. The sections may be taken in any order. More detailed information and a separate bulletin may be obtained by writing to the Graduate Institute in Liberal Education, St. John's College, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 or Annapolis, Maryland 21404. DIRECTORY INFORMATION AND RIGHT TO PRIVACY Freshman Chorus, Santa Fe In compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, the College retains the right to publish at its discretion the following information about each student presently or previously attending the College: the student's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. As required by the Act, the College will provide public notice annually of its intention to publish such directory information. Students have a right to inform the College within a reasonable period of time that any or all of this directory information should be withheld. The College will respect any such request for privacy. �38 I ST.

JOHN'S COLLEGE activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes-some led by students, others by tutors-in harmony, Latin, German, the New Testament, Leibnitz (his papers on calculus), and special aspects of chemistry and biology. Other activities stern from interests independent of the College curriculum. Most prominent among them have been those of the Garden Club and various classes in dance and martial arts. Theater life is active. Each of three drama groups offers a specialty: the King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, the Modern Theater Guild performs one or two modern works, and the Dwarf Players produce several one-act plays. Recently these groups produced The Night of the Iguana, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Le Misanthrope. Every weekend the student film club presents foreign and domestic films-the classics of cinema art. Additional film series, including The Ascent of Man and Roots, have been shown during the week. There is also a special winter film series on Wednesday nights. Iv1usic is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at College events. The College provides practice rooms and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Pennanent facilities such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom and stage floor provide places to develop specific skills. The College also maintains a small art gallery staffed by students. Recent shows of works by Roualt, Daumier and Hart have been held there. An exhibit each spring displays work by members of the College community . An artist in residence teaches classes and coordinates exhibits. Classes in pottery, photography, sculpture and painting continue throughout the year. Parties, an important part of cornmunity life where students and tutors meet informally, come in several varieties. The Society of Bacchus arranges rock dances, waltz parties and community gatherings including the Halloween Masked Ball, Mid-Winter Ball, Christmas Party and the Spring Cotillion. Vigorous square dances and quiet jazz parties occur once or twice a year. A festival in the spring, Reality Weekend, begins with student skits and parodies and, after a parade up Main Street, provides a full day of picnicking and athletic competition. Cultural events on campus include Sunday concerts and informal lectures by guest speakers, Annapolis itself offers church groups of all denominations, synagogues (detailed information on Jevvish student life is available on request), concerts, plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, State government, political work, community service groups, etc Washington, D. C. and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities, museums and stores too numerous to mention here. RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 41 ATHLETICS Since 1939, when intercollegiate athletics were abolished, the intramural sports program has flourished. About two-thirds of the students, both men and women, participate actively in individual and team sports. The Director of Athletics and two student assistants schedule events and coordinate use of the facilities, which include a well-equipped gymnasium, large playing fields, tennis courts and a boathouse with a number of sailboats and other small craft. Men's and women's teams compete in field hockey, touch football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball and track, each in its season. Doubles and single players compete in tennis, handball, squash, badminton, fencing, paddleball and table tennis. Sailing, canoeing and rowing are non-competitive activities offered purely for enjoyment. Excellence in sports is recognized and encouraged by individual and team awards; enjoyment of sports is the most important fruit of the athletic program and is its own reward. �RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 43 THE FE In the early 1960's the College decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. SL John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of 1964 in New Mexico's capital city, founded in 1610 by Spanish colonists. Its population of 50,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the State and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of American Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and co;weniences of a city of 400,000 people. The campus of 300 acres lies in the southeast comer of the City, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architedure of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of feet, overlooks the Santa Fe valley and off.:::rs superb views of the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The Campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a student center, a music and fme arts building, an administration building and two dusters of d01rnitories. A library, dining hall and infirmary are also located in these buildings. Nina 5. Garson Reflecting Pool. Santo Fe View from Dining Hall, Santo Fe �44 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Each of the sixteen dormitories on campus houses from twelve to eighteen students and serves as a smaller community of friends within the College. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and at the same time close companionship with a fellow student. The head resident helps students arrange to live in dormitories with others who share similar opinions about smoking, loud music and so on in a dormitory area. In addition to the two dormitory complexes on campus, students are also housed in a rambling twenty-room adobe house which was bequeathed to the College by the poet Witter Bynner. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with administration and faculty, rather than through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the College and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities including the artistic, the academic and the athletic Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The College's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists each month" Student art work is at the end of the school year, and awards are given for RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 45 achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting and in making jewelry. Au Verso, the literary magazine of the College, is published twice a year. It contains essays, artworks, poetry, short stories and photography from students and faculty alike. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed in order to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the College community with an opportunity to perform before a small, receptive audience. Through this organization students and faculty who play intruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the Madrigal Singers also give recitals. The College provides numerous keyboard instruments including two grand pianos and a harpsichord for student practice and performance" Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The Collegium Theatricum produces two or three plays each year. It also organizes evenings of soliloquies and one-act plays. Funds and equipment are provided by the Student Activities Office. The directing, acting, costumes and lighting are done by interested students and faculty. The SL John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the College community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater and visual arts. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling for the Santa Fe crisis center, working at the local health-food co-op or in other local activities, The St John's bus takes students into town twice a day. �46 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE RESIDENCE & STUDENT UFE I 47 Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus acti~ities, as are study groups in such languages as Russian, German, Spanish, Italian and Hebrew. Students preparing for entrance into medical school have attended classes at the University of New Los Alamos branch, under the sponsorship of the College. Thorne Fellowships also give students financial support toward fulfilling medical prerequisites during i:he summer months. ATHLETICS The Student Activities Office coordinates a volunteer athletic program which offers opportunities for training and competition in a wide range of sports from skiing and river rafting to soccer and fencing. These last two are sports in which St. challenges other colleges and universities, and the College usually has one of the finest fencing teams in the Southwest. There are indoor facilities for judo, karate, tai chi chuan, weightlifting, gymnastics and fencing, but during much of the year these activities can be done outof-doors. Intramural programs in soccer, track, volleyball and badminton are conducted at the College's facilities. A men's soccer team and a women's soccer team both play with other teams in the area and are hosts to several tournaments in the fall and spring. The St. John's basketball team competes in a city league. Santa Fe's municipal swimming pool is reserved for St. John's one night each week. A horse corral on the campus is available for student and faculty use; horses may be hired at a nearby ranch. The adjoining Sangre de Cristo Mountains provide hundreds of square miles of forest and wilderness areas for hiking and camping. Here the St" John's Search and Rescue unit trains regularly in techniques of map reading, first aid, wilderness survival, rock climbing and cliff evacuation. The team is called out in emergencies several times a year; students have permission to be absent from camuus in the event of a search or rescue. The Santa Fe Ski Basin" (seventeen miles to the north) and the Taos Ski Ba.sin (tvvo hours away by car) offer fine slopes for both beginning and advanced and several cross country ski trails branch off from them. Students may borrow skis, boots and poles from the College, and the St John's bus provides \/\/hen the weather is warmer the Student Activities Office excursions down the Rio Grande kayak, canoe and rubber 1Nith overnight carnping along the way.

JOHN'S COLLEGE DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming student to make proper use of the support that other students can give him in his college life. Unmarried students not living at home are required to live in the college dormitories and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they obtain permission from the Assistant Deans to live off-campus. The College currently can offer no married student housing at Annapolis, but does, on a limited basis, at Santa Fe. Students who wish to have married student housing must find suitable housing off-campus and should allow time for this. Room assignment is the responsibility of the Assistant Deans in Annapolis and of the Head Resident in Santa Fe. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter or spring vacation. In Santa Fe students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, alchough a small fee is charged. DINING HALL The dining hall on each campus is operated by a catering service. A vegetarian menu is available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. Exemptions for medical reasons are granted only upon examination and recommendation by the College Physician. CAREER COUNSELING OFFICE The Career Counseling Office serves student needs in two especially important areas. First, it provides essential information for those students planning to continue their education in graduate programs and professional schools across the nation. The Director of Career Counseling also offers assistance and counseling to those students who wish to embark upon careers immediately after graduation. STUDENT Er11IPLOYMENT OFFICE An employment service, initiated and run by students, locates off-campus RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 49 jobs. Primarily, it seeks part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it can also aid students looking for full-time summer employment in the local community. INHRMARY SERVICE Well-equipped infirmaries are maintained at both campuses, each under the supervision of a College Physician and a College Nurse. A daily medical report is sent to the Assistant Deans. A psychiatrist or clinical psychologist is available for consultation. RULES Of RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the Dean in consultation with students and the faculty. Every entering student is informed of them, and returning upperclassmen are reminded of them each fall. The rules differ in certain details on the two campuses, though in general they follow the same pattern. The academic and intellectual life of the community is inseparable from the communal life. The building of a good community requires the faculty to show respect for the individuality of each student. All students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student Manual published annually by the College. St. John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the College may require withdrawal of the offending student PROPERTY DAMAGE The College provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The College inspects the rooms periodically and repairs at the expense of the occupant or occupants any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The College is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �50 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE ADMISSIONS I 51 The standards by which applicants are selected for SL John's are special, and prospective students find it rewarding to write the essays that constitute an application to the College. People who apply 1Nant an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they vvill learn to s12e into others' ideas as well as their own; and pabon in their own education. Education at St is a common pursuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most vvho consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do they are saying to themselves and to the College that they •Nant to engage in the life of reason and believe can take pleasure in it. In writing their essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. students; others eliminate therr;selves as deciding that their interests and those of the do not for the ~vr,ost they select themselves.

The application asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the Committee's decisions on admission, SL has decided to remain a small college. The enrollment is ~bout 375 students in Annapolis and 320 in Santa Fe. The size of each class is lnn1ted on each campus, Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women, Classes enter in late August and Jar~uary in Santa Fe, m September and January in Annapolis. Nevv students are enrolled only as freshmen; a fourth or more of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere" These students, despite 900d records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take p;rt in the St. John's program. Freshman who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus graduate a year earlier than if they had ?ostp~ned their entrance until the following falL The January class is of partJCular mterest to students who come to St John's from other colleges, or w~w have traveled or,w.orked since graduation from high school, or who wJSh to enter St. Johns immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. �52 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS Most applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements include tvvo years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the essays and academic transcripts, applicants must present two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are noi: required, bui: may prove helpfuL Occasionally St. John's accepi:s an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such a student must be well qualified to profit from the College program. A campus visit and interview are especially important for such candidates. These students usually wish to enter SL John's following their junior year of high school or in the January immediately after the first semester of their senior year. St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. PROCEDURE St. John's College is a single located on two campuses. PJthough applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the College as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the College welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. A student should submit his application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus he prefers to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. ADMISSIONS I 53 St. John's has a policy of rolling admissions. There is no application deadline, but applications for both fall and January classes should be submitted as early in .the year as possible. Because there are occasional vacancies in classes due to last-minute withdrawals, students who wish to apply late in the year should contact the Admissions Office for particulars. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are assembled, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the Committee's decision in about two weeks. Upon notification that his application has been accepted, an applicant has the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, he must submit a non-refundable deposit of $150 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which his application was processed, together with a statement specifying the campus he wishes to attend. Deposits are accepted on a first-come, first served basis until the entering class is filled. If the applicant is also a candidate for financial aid, the deposit will be accepted with the understanding that it will be refunded if sufficient aid cannot be offered to make it possible for him to attend the College. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus has already been filled, the deposit may be automatically transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class. It may also be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the student's first-choice campus. The deposit will be applied to the first year's fees. All financial aid awards will be made from the campus on which the student decides to enroll. A physical examination is required of each student before registration. A form for reporting the examination, along with other registration materials, will be sent to each student prior to the date of enrollment but after receipt of the $150 deposit. TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, a student may transfer to the other at the beginning of any academic year, provided his record is in good standing and he notifies the Dean's Office of his intentions by February 25. If the student wishes to apply for financial aid, he must also file his new financial aid fonns by February 1. All such transfers are subject to approval the Deans of both campuses. I UIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to the Director of Admissions, St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland 21404 (Tel. 301/263-2371) or Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 (Tel. 505/982-3691). CAIV1PUS VISIT Anyone who is considering the possibility of entering St. John's should see the College for himself. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8:00 p.rn.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language l �54 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the Admissions Committee, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Wednesday or from Thursday to Saturday on the Annapo~ lis campus, from Sunday to Wednesday or from Wednesday to Saturday on the Santa Fe campus. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalogue should be checked to make certain the College will be in session during the time of the visit. Persons planning to visit should telephone (301/263-2371 for Annapolis or 505/982-3691 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for the visitor will be transportation. He will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings can usually be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the College Bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens and soap are provided by the College. If a visitor arrives weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., he should go the Admissions Office. Weekends and any day after 5:00 p.m., he should go to the College receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Campbell Hall at Annapolis and in the Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION The Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis and the driver will let one off at the campus if he asks. Buses from Washington are less frequent and arrive at the Annapolis Greyhound Bus Terminal (about six blocks from the College). By car one takes Route 50 from Washington or Route 2 from Baltimore. A limousine service from the Albuquerque airport to Santa Fe also is available. Called the "Shuttle-jack," it leaves the airport seven times a day and costs $13.00 one way. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Am track stops at Lamy, N .M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. FEES & FINANCIAL AID I 55 FEES & FINANCIAL AID The College believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the College's resources. With very few exceptions, financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: 1. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The College can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts and additional children to be educated. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan or part-time employment and will be offered to all students as a package which combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to �FEES & FINANCIAL AID I 57 56 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award" At SL John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan" 5" The total amount of financial aid the College offers a student may not exceed the student's demonstrated financial need" 6" Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid" 7" Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (See page 61") 8" Financial aid awards are made in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1980 which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin" B" The procedure for applying for financial aid is as follows: 1" Applicants for admission who also plan to apply for financial aid should fill out the application for financial aid in the back of this catalogue and return it to the appropriate Admissions Office" 2" Applicants must also file the current Financial Aid Form with the College Scholarship Senrice in Princeton, New Jersey or Berkeley, California. This form permits applicants or their parents to present a detailed account of the faraily's financial position" It may be obtained from either secondary schools or the Financial Aid Office at St. John's" 3" Candidates for financial aid from the College must first establish their eligibility for the Basic Educational Opportunity (Pell) Grant, a Federal program described in Section D belmN" The College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid Fomz enables candidates lo indicate that they wish to apply for a Pell Grant" Students should so indicate" No financial aid award will be made by the College until the student submits his copy of the Pell Grant Student Eligibility Report to the Financial Aid Office" 4, As part of the application for financial aid, parents of dependent applicants and applicants who claim self-supporting status must provide an official copy of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return" 5. Self-supporting students are required to meet the Federal definition of independence and have an affidavit of non-support on file in the Financial Aid Office" This form will be mailed to parents or guardians upon receipt of the Financial Aid Form if the applicant is claiming selfsupporting status. 6. Residents of Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont must apply for a State Scholarship" 7" An applicant who has previously attended an institution of higher education must provide a Financial Aid Transcript from that institution" Financial Aid Tr"anscripts can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, 8" Students applying for and receiving financial aid from SL John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situtation; and changes of name, marital status and address" C Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: FRESHMAN CANDIDATES Although the College has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that need as soon as possible" The Financial Aid Form/ Pell Grant Application should be filed with the College Scholarship Service as soon as possible after January 2 in the year in which the candidate wishes to be admitted" Those who wish to enter in January should submit the FAF/Pell as early as possible in the preceeding yeac Likewise, the SL John's Financial Aid Application in this catalogue should be filed with the Admissions Office as soon as possible after its receipt by the candidate" Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met Candidates for admission applying after February 25 for financial aid have significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier" RETURNING STUDENTS Applications are due by February 25 from enrolled students who are returning to the College and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time" Beginning on December 1, the Financial Aid Office will provide the necessary Financial Aid Form, which should be completed and filed with the College Scholarship Service on January 2 or as soon thereafter as possible. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the February 25 deadline will be notified of the decision on their application on April L Applications completed after February 25 will not be considered unbl awards have been made for applications completed before the deadline" Awards based on applications completed after the deadline will not be mailed until after April 15. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds for them cannot be guaranteed" D" Funds for financial aid awards from the College are available from the sources listed below" Except for the Federally Insured/Guaranteed Student Loan, applicants need not apply for funds from any of these specific sources" All these sources are automatically considered in making up the College's financial aid awards" STO JOHN'S GRANTS Funds for SL John's grants are provided by the College from its own resources, and all awards are made on the basis 0f financial need" STO JOHN'S SPONSORED NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP (Santa Fe) The College sponsors National Merit Scholarships for finalists in the National Merit competition" Finalists who list St. John's College, Sant.a Fe, New Mexico, as their first choice and who have been admitted by February 25, are eligible for the College sponsored National Merit awards" Winners are chosen according to meriL Stipends in excess of �FEES & FINANCIAL AID/ 59 58 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE other borrowers is seven percent. A student may be allowed up to ten years to pay back the loan. $250 are determined by financial need. Awards are renewed annually and those recipients who wish to be considered for stipends in excess of $250 should apply for financial aid each year. 1981-82 STUDENT BUDGET* BASIC EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (Pell Grant) This Federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (SEOG) The College awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. These grants are made to students who have financial need and are unable to pursue a course of study without the grant. Eligibility for SEOG is limited to $2000 per year.

'Undetermined at time of publication. 1 NATIONAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN (NDSL) These loans are made by the College directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the Federal Government. The maximum loan for four years of undergraduate study for the first baccalaureate degree is $6000. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the College. Repayment begins six months after the borrower terminates attendance at the College. There is provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. Depending on the total loan commitment, the repayment may extend from ten to twenty years. FEDERALLY INSURED/GUARANTEED STUDENT LOAN (FISL/GSL) These programs enable a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit. union, savings and loan association or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The loan is guaranteed by a state or private nonprofit agency or insured by the Federal Government. The maximum amount a student may borrow is $2,500 a year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. The interest rate is nine percent per annum for any student who obtains his first GSL after January 1, 1981. The interest rate for BILLING AND DEPOSITS Billing for tuitio~ and fees is done prior to each semester. The charges are due and payable m full on or before the registration dates for that semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should inquire of the Treasurer about the various commercial tuition payment or loan plans available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the College must kn?w in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $150 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or be_fore the first Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors and semors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, he may have to be placed on a waiting list; stu?ents to :whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, military service, aca- �FEES & FINANCIAL AID/ 61 60 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE demic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which he made the deposit, the deposit is forfeited, and he must make a new deposit to secure his place in a subsequent class. If there should be any difficulties in making this deposit, the student should contact the College Treasurer at the earliest possible date to make suitable arrangements. Each student is required to make a deposit of $75, called the Caution Fee, which is subject to charges for laboratory breakage, damage to or loss of college property and other minor mishaps. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the Freshman Year, but each student must bring the balance (after damages assessments, if any) up to the full $75 at registration each semester. If unused, it is refunded on request at the end of the academic year or when a student leaves the College. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $25 at the beginning of the second semester of the Senior Year. Unless otherwise requested, the College presents its bills directly to the student, with a copy to the parents. There is a fee of $25 for late registration for each semester. The cost of books is about $200 a year. Class copies of many of the program books are available in the College library. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the Treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the College may not register for classes at the beginning of the second and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the Treasurer. The College may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY If a student withdraws or is dismissed during any semester, a refund of fees for tuition will be made according to the following schedule: The first two weeks: 80% The third week: 60% The fourth week: 40% The fifth week: 20% The sixth week and thereafter: no refund The above schedule also applies to room and board in Annapolis. In Santa Fe, a refund on fees for board will be made on a pro rata basis; there will be no refund made for room fees. If applicable, refunds will be made to students only after refund payments are first made to such federal and state funds as the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program, the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, the National Direct Student Loan Programs, the Federally Insured/Guaranteed Student Loan Programs, State Student Grant or Scholarship Programs, and to any institutional financial aid programs. Enrolled students due refunds because their financial aid exceeds monies due the College will receive those refunds in accordance with a schedule of payments determined by the Financial Aid Director on each campus. Refunds for substantiated medical reasons will be on a pro rata basis. CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions. of ~he. Higher Educ.ation _Act of 1976 require that each post~eco~dary 1.nshtut10n make available information concerning the criteria for Judging satisfacto~ progress. The criteria for St. John's College follow: Any student is deemed to be making satisfactory progress if at the end of the current ~emes~er he is permitted to enter the next semester, and if that next semester willdb include the repetition of any work · This perm1ss10n is nor· · · mall t not . y gran e ya committee composed of all the student's tutors th "D ~ag Committee_." The Don Rag Committee grants the permission' on!y af~; 1t has asse~sed his_ curre~t semester's work in all parts of the Program and has appro'.'ed its quality. This assessment is conducted in his presence by all of his t~to~s in common. At the end of his Sophomore Year, however, this permiss10n is granted by the Dean and the Instruction Committee in the light of h" s oSve~all wor~ d_uring his first two years. At the end of the first semester of h~s emor Year it .1s gra~ted almost automatically. . In except~onal c1r~umstances a student is permitted to begin a semester with the speoal reqmrement that he meet certain conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases the student is deemed to be making satisfactory progress unless the Dean determines that the conditions have not b~en met. When ~he conditi?ns have not been met, the Dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. If the student is permitted to remain in the College he · deemed to be making satisfactory progress. ' is VETERANS In compli~i:ice with ~e?eral and State regulations, St. John's has developed a set of pohc~es ~n minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. 1. ~t. _Johns will r~~ort to t~e Veterans Administration within 30 days all inc1d~nts of official termination or change of status that would affe t benefits. c 2. Minimurr:i acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/ or his tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the Dean w~o may a~k the stu~ent to leave the College or may place him on aca~em1c prob.ahon. During that probation period, support and counseling ar~ available. Failure to meet standards through two semester~ of probation must be reported to the V.A. A third semester of certification ~ay not be granted for V.A. benefits without approval of a VA counseling psychologist. · · 3. V.A. requires t~at grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a VA enroll~d studen~ withdraw from any course at any point subsequent t~ the midterm point of any semester, a grade of F will be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on V.A. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. �L DJ TENNIS COURTS N\_ \ ii �64 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE BOARD/ 65 BIBLIOGRAPliY BOARD OF VISITORS AND GOVERNORS BOOKS ABOUT LIBERAL EDUCATION OfHCERS ADLER, MORTIMER J., and CHARLES VAN DOREN: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

Such men and women are best equipped to master the specific skills of any •' 0 •·Alh·i•:"•'""'"" calling and to become mature, competent and responsible citizens of a free society. -~~~iiill St. John's College believes that the way to liberal education lies through the books in which the greatest minds of our civilization-the gr.;;at teachers-have expressed themselves. These books are both timeless and they not only illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, but also have great relevance to the contemporary with which vve have to deaL They can therefore enter directly into our everyday lives. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not something of academic concern, remote from our real interests. They change our move our hearts and touch our The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human lend themselves to different that reveal a and yet complementary meanings. while please us as works of art with a clarity and a that their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly great, whether are poems or political treatises, and w·hether their subject matter is scientific, historical or philosophicaL They are also linked for each of thern is introduced, or criticized by the others. In a real sense they converse with each and they draw each reader to take part, ·within the limits of his ability, in their large and unending conversation. This conversation, ho·Never, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we sometimes desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St seminar. Here, a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced a text that may present unfamiliar ideas, attempt to discuss it reasonlt is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their to one another's critical scrutiny. The demands of the individual those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern its-::lf with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more or with very questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to seminar the assumptions they have deri~ed from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the same- THE INTRODUCTION I 7 ness of .a recurre~t problem. and ~he. variety of i~s historical manifestations. Prmc1pally, nowever, the aun is to ascertam not how things were, but !'.ow thml?s.are-to help the student make rational decisions as he his h~e. Ai:d it 11s the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of and d1scuss10n tnus begun by the student should continue with him throughout life. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is r~ade to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutor functions as a guide, more intent to listen to the students and to work with them than to impose upon them his own train of thought. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about a 1~ awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so they become means of understanding. the hberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic- the arts guage; and arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy-the arts of mathe'.natics. In more contemporary terms, the arts bring to light what is mvolved ~n the use of words and .numbers in all of discursive thought, m analysm?, speaking and wntmg, and also in measuring, deducing and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes five of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment and mathematical demonstration. They are followed in all branches of the program But whatever the methods used, they all serve the same end: to invite the student to think for himself, to enable him to practice the arts of freedom. Free minds must be able to envisage concrete situations, to deliberate by la ting clear alternatives, and to arrive at a deciding choice. The acquisition of these mtellectual skills indicates that the discipline of the liberal arts has taken hold of the learning mind. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of man may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one forrn or another They enable men to win knowledge of the vvorlcl around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that with wisdom. Under their guidance men can free themselves frorn the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten Under their men can acquire the habit of A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid most far reaching of all human goals. Evans Laboratory Building with Sangre de Cristo Mountains in background, Santa Fe �THE CURRICULUM I 9 8 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE CURRICUWM THE SEMINAR The heart of the curriculum is the seminar-a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar there are seventeen to twenty-one students with two memb~rs of the faculty as leaders. The group meets t~ice a week, on Monday and Thursday_ evemng~, from eight until ten-or well beyond if _the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around a hundred pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. f th l d Th re The seminar begins with a question asked by one o. e e_a ers. e after the seminar consists almost entirely of student discus~10nh ~tuhdenJs talk with one another, not just to the leaders. Th~y do no_t raise t eir ~ s for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or witfhdral fror;I it a~ will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of orma mo es 0 address. f I f om Once under way the seminar may take many orms · t may ra~ge r the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucy~ides, for example is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and agg~essH;mdand to bring to' the surface the students' opinions and fears about _t e wis horn or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflect10ns on uman virtues and vices, on man's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument-an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their inte{play with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy and requires a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of individuals, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. Or it may climb to heights accessible to only a few of its members. Under these circumstances the role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections, to help the student in every way possible to understand the author, the issues and himself. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But a leader may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If he does so, however, he can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority; all opinions must be rationally defended and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the student's powers of reason and understanding and to help him arrive at intelligent opinions of his own. Every freshman, sophomore and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the student to set out in writing, as clearly as he can, his own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of his final oral examination. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling. (See page 34). �THE CURRICULUM / 11 10 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE TU'"fORlALS THE PRECEPTORIAL For about nine weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small "roups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of sixteen to twenty pn:ceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptonals may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally seven or eight students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the sernmar Usually the student's work is completed by the wntmg of a which may be read in draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the members. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. 0 Tolstoy: Anna Karenina Adams: The Education of Henry Adams Common Law Adjudication and Philosophical Justice Freud: Selected Papers on Neurosis and Related Topics Kierkegaard: Fear and Trembling Aristophanes: The Birds (in Greek) Burke, Paine and Toqueville: Selected Works Force and Energy in Descartes, Newton and Leibniz Goethe's Novels Plato: Phaedrus Whitehead Selected Works WaJlace Stevens Arendt: The human Condiiwn Joyce: Early Works Aristotle's Theory of lvl.otion Astronomia Nova Sartre: Being and Nothingness Plotinus: Thircl Ennead Ibsen and Chekov Design and Expression in the Visual Arts William Blake: Selected Works The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persisteni:ly precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics and music.. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three or four times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to fifteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for collaborative study and for the manifold teaching and learning relations that hold in a company of people learning togetheL As in the seminar, sludents talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for each student to contribute his measure of instruction and insight to his fellows" Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject which they may later teach. \IVrihng assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music and laboratory sections as well as in language tutorials. The student is thus called upon continually to articulate and organize his in both the written and spoken forms. THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL Specialization in higher education has led to a profound of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by a training in the means of precise corn.munication and effective persuasion. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other To do this it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and the logical relations between proposi hons. The study of foreign languages (Greek in th€ first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the student learns something of the nature of languages in general and of his own in particular. During the four years, then, he studies language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, he studies his own language. He discovers the resources of articulate speech and learns the rules that must govern it if it is to be dear, consistent and effective-if it is to be adequate and persuasive. �12 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE CURRICULUM/ 13 In the beginning the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one which is concerned 'with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work Those are matters that do not often come directly into seminar discussions. The student's concern with them in the language tutorial improves all his reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches his understanding, and increases his ability to think dearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar, Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore which might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits, This habit of precision, in its turn, becomes more common in the seminar Though the language tutorial cannot and should not aim at a mastery of the foreign languages, the student can reasonably expect to attain a knowledge of their grammatical forms and a grasp of their peculiar qualities, To experience the of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility The choice of languages is in part dictated the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes with th.;: freshman seminar and rnath::matics and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second yea.rends with and discussion of works Shakespeare, Donne and other The French of the year begins with a brief, intensive of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading and writing of simple French. Students already fluent in French 111ay be exempted from these early stages, Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections, Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the student attempts to match in his own tongue the excellence of his mod':'k In the second senlester a is read-Racifie's Phedre. The principal of the fourth ynr is the reading of French poems, including a considerable number from Baudelaire's Fleurs du 11/Ial. Its irnmediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the rdation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. V\friting assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than these attempted in the third yeaL One of Molien:'s.comedies is read-either Tartuffe or Le Misanthrope. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modem British and American poets, such as T.So Eliot, Dylan Thomas, VV"B Yeats and Wallace Stevens. THE MA THEIVIA TICS TUTOPJAl Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meanin" "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike math:matics or to think of themselves as unmathematicaL It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. VVhen mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one which provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. 0 0 There are' two main reasons for studying mathematics it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines iL Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate 1Nith this world not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is m.anaged, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count a.nd measure the things in the universe. The second rnain reason for studying mathema.tics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard and solve problems doing this over four years they learn a good deal of mathematics, and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagin3tion and elegance of expression. But while are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are exam- �14 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? iNhat is the relation of logic to mathematics? Are there "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial which is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The student begins with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's zation of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the student gains a notion of deductive science and of a mathernatical system in general; he becomes acquainted with one view of mathematical objects-its central expression found in the theory of ratios-which is buried under the foundations of modem mathematics. After Euclid he begins the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, his attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at SL John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical of the heavenly but he gives more than that his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a comto the philosophical, poetic and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year the student continues the of Ptolemy, vvith emphasis those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system which are resolved by the revolution. He studies into heliocentric form. Copernicus's transformation of the Ptolemaic He next takes up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic of the very objects whose analytical treatment Descartes marks the of modern mathematics. After this he analytic geometry, presents the conic sections in algebraic form. He thus gains an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in generaL In the third year calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a ngorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The student then returns to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a "dynamic" in which orbits are determined laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year the reading of Lobachevski's approach to nonEuclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the goemetric art as a whole This is followed by the study of Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. On the Annapolis campus, there is an alternate program for the latter half of the year: some of the students projective geometry, in which the enterprise which began with Euclid returns in a remarkable way, n01N generalized, to its starting THE CURRICULUM/ 15 THE MUSK TUTORIAL One of the aims of St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed towards performance but towards an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based for them on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place the second semester the students perform some primarily by singing, and the great choral works. the sophomore year a tutorial meets three times a week. The music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand music is intimately related to language, rhetoric and poetry. On the other it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial mcludes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint and None of these is done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the rnasses of Palestrina, the operas of Mozart and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester at least one major work is analyzed Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text students listen to recordings of a composition and fami!arize themselves vvith its score before the seminar meet3. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. of �16 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE CURRICULUM / 17 THE LABORATORY The emblem of the SL John's program on the back cover shows seven books surrounding a pair of scales. The balance, no less than the books, symbolizes the tradition of the liberal arts. It stands for the instruments of the scientific laboratory, which may well be the most characteristic institution of the modern world. Three hundred years ago algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great re'1olutions in industry, politics, morals and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal of the St. John's program and one which the College takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last t1rvo years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period frorn Homer to Descartes. Modem mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the conseconceived by the great thinkers of the quence of the vast project of sevenl:eenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hanrl that us to relate our exoeriences to our understanding. For this ~ur~-ose St. has set up a thre~-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology and chermstry are pursued. There is the art of measuremen.t, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported the mathematics tutorials, which provide a dear understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a of skills derived from the practice of the liberal arts. The College does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the hurnanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. There need not be "tiNO cultures." Different fo~lds of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION THE LABORATORY The laboratory program is largely determined three considerations releThe formally scheduled vant to the liberalization of the study of science: experimental work must be combined with a and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the student to trace a scientific to its roots in principle, assumption and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters aI"e to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The student must have time to satisfy himself as to the degree of accuracy his instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can he come to a mature understanding of the snences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of seventeen to twenty-one students under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week" A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. Occasionally a laboratory meeting is reserved for the discussion of a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the College the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �THE CURRICULUM / 19 18 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE LABORATORY TOPICS The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological science. The sequence of study may be outlmed as follows: 1st Year 12 weeks: 20 weeks: 3rd Year 4th Year 10 weeks: 18 weeks: Observational biology Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry , , Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electnc1ty, magnetism Quantum physics Genetics, evolution, moleculary biology THE FIRST YEAR The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in , _ biology: classfication of types, anatomical st~ucture, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, embryological development.

The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination_ THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot and Maxwell, The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials, As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy and potential fields, to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas_ The concepts of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light-corpuscular and wave-and the success of either theory in accounting for optical is examined_ The phenomena and processes of thought leading to the first and second laws o(thermodynamics are given careful consideration_ The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic of light. THE YEAR In many ways the vvork of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshrnen. During the first ten weeks, the senior takes up anew the theory of atomism -but the atom itself has become object study, Prepared his work with electrical phenomena, th.;: student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that lead to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the vvave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning_ the course of thought in Schrodinger's What is Life?, the senior laboratory then turns or returns to biological topics, and first to genetics, to Mendel's theory of heredity and its development through the experimentation and interpretation by TH. Morgan and his associates_ The results studies of bacteria populations are considered from the standof their evolutionary significance, in the papers of Hardt and of Luria and Delbruck. Next, fundamental papers leading to present-day molecular biology-for instance by Beadle and Tatum, Watson and Crick, Jacob and !Vlonod-are studied. of 0 �THE CURRICULUM/ 21 20 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the student has an opportunity to listen and attentively The subject may be closely connected with seminar readngs or it rnay open up a new field of interest and test the student's readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the SL John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or frorn the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturer submits himself to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the student the habit of listening and following the exposition of a he may not be farniliar and it also provides him an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise his dialectical skill in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that he can himself test the degree of his understanding and the applicability of what he has learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the student is confronted with views on a given Some of the lectures have immediate in the seminars tutorials, Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that a student's work takes within the framework of the program, LECTURES AND CONCERTS The list below provides some examples of lectures and concerts given on one or the other campus in recent years: "The Growth of Presidential Power" William Goldsmith "Genesis" Robert D.

JOHN'S COLLEGE ST. JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The books that serve as the core of the curriculum were chosen over a period of nearly forty years, first at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, at the University of Virginia and, since 1937, at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. Something over two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, medieval and Renaissance periods; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply an historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John's curriculum seeks to convey to the student an understanding of fundamental problems that man has to face today and at all times. In doing that it may help the student to discover a new kind of historical perspective and perceive through all the historical shifts and changes the permanence and ever present gravity of human issues. The list of books which constitute the core of the St. John's program is subject to review and revision by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses. Books read only in part are indicated by an asterisk.

JOHN'S COLLEGE THE ACADEMIC ORDER THE TUTORS At St. John's the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying from the works of the principal teacher of the classit might be Plato or Newton-usually an author of one of the great books, who wrote from the high point of his learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 29 First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, a tutor with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare himself to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to become competent to teach the St. John's program. This is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. He is, and has to be, a teaching member of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and he is continually teaching his colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the everpresent danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. They engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. THE INSTRUCTION COMMIITEE The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the Deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the President on appointments to the faculty. The Committee consists of the Deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the College; the President and the Provost sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. Each Dean is the chairman of the Instruction Committee on the campus where he serves; the members of the Committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet at frequent intervals throughout the year. The full Committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the Deans alternate as chairman of the Instruction Committee. �30 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 31 THE LIBRARY SCriEDULES The books chosen for study at SL John's are collected in the library in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These books form the core of the library, essential to the teaching of the program. A good general collection is a necessary supplement; the college has little need for a specialized, highly technical collection. Each year books are purchased in mathematics, science, philosophy, religion, fine arts, music, poetry, literature and history and many other fields. The library subscribes to representative periodicals and newspapers. A committee of the faculty assists the Librarians in selecting books and periodicals. The library maintains a collection of about 80,000 volumes. In Santa Fe, collection now numbers over 51,000. Perhaps the most distinctive mark of SL John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time wHh the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the fone of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and serninar leaders are about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of have a common ground for conversation.

Each morning for either three or four days a week they spend one hour in a language tutorial and one hour in a mathematics tutorial; sophomores also spend four hours a week in a music tutorial. Twice a week freshmen, juniors and seniors spend up to three hours in the laboratory Two evenings from eight to ten they atte~d a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each. �32 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ESSAYS EXAMINATIONS Annually in and each semester in Santa Fe every freshman, sophomore and junior submits an essay to his seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the program_ ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar The student is questioned freely and informally on the texts he has read or the paper he has written and on his critical and opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much the student remembers. He is encouraged to consider the different parts of his study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of his classes. For freshmen the first oral examination of the year is given before the vvinter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin THE "-''-"""'''-"-"' EXA1\1INATION his sophomore year, each student must pass an examination in elealgebra and THE FRENCH READING year, each student must pass an exarnination to demonof the French language. The senior oral enabling examination is given to the student in the fo.ll at the beginning of the fourth year It is focused on a number of books from the seminar lists assigned for rereading and study during the preceding summer_ The passing of this examination confirms a student's status as a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. THE FINAt ESSAY AND ORAL EXAivHNATION In the senior year the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of his four years' vvork. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts_ Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes, If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined upon it by the committee in an hour-long public examination, No degree is avvarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory, The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. �THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 35 34 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE ACADEMIC STANDII'JG Because SL John's classes are small and intimate, and because students paractively, every tutor is aware of his students' progress f~om, to The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student s tocal performance as a member of his tutorials and seminar. . It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of and for individual choice and guidance.

Ai-ID CAREERS A.FTER ST. JOHN'S Each year many St seniors elect to do advanced ·work in a wide range of graduate and professional schools Experience shows that leading universities admit St. John's graduates with creditable records. Since St. offers no in specific subjects, however, some may find it necessary to take undergraduate courses during their first year of graduate or professional study in some, but not fields. other graduates choose to embark directly upon careers ma variety of Their undergraduate background-especially its scope and its emphasis on thoughtful inquil11 and subsequent application of principleshas been found lo be an excellent preparation for employment, St refuses to accept the imposition of preprofessional specialized requirements on its liberal curriculum. The College believes that to educate men and women requires less, and yet far more, than is required to satisfy the shifting standards of conventional specialized education. �36 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE ACADEMIC ORDER I 37 The following table shows the professions or fields of advanced study entered by one or more St. John's graduates; law, mathematics, philosophy, education, medicine and theology have attracted the greatest numbers.

JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS A tutor who has completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a Master's degree in Liberal Arts. He must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present himself as a candidate for the degree. He must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE LIBERAL EDUCATION A graduate program, leading to the M.A. degree in the liberal arts, is conducted by the Graduate Institute year-round on the Santa Fe campus and during the summer in Annapolis. H is designed for graduates of colleges other than St. John's and is particularly well suited to the needs of highschool teachers. The program, which is based on the St. John's list of readings, is divided into four subject areas: Politics and Society, Literature, Philosophy and Theology, and Mathematics and Natural Science. Each summer session lasts eight weeks and consists of seminars, tutorials and preceptorials. The seminars are modeled on those of the undergraduate college; they are limited to about twenty students. The tutorials are smaller classes devoted to the close reading of texts. In the preceptorial the student chooses a topic pertaining to one of the books studied and, under faculty guidance, writes a long essay. For each section of the program nine credits are granted. All four sections are required for the degree, though students who have previous graduate credit may be eligible for the degree after three summers. The sections may be taken in any order. More detailed information and a separate bulletin may be obtained by writing to the Graduate Institute in Liberal Education, St. John's College, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 or Annapolis, Maryland 21404. DIRECTORY INFORMATION AND RIGHT TO PRIVACY Freshman Chorus, Santa Fe In compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, the College retains the right to publish at its discretion the following information about each student presently or previously attending the College: the student's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. As required by the Act, the College will provide public notice annually of its intention to publish such directory information. Students have a right to inform the College within a reasonable period of time that any or all of this directory information should be withheld. The College will respect any such request for privacy. �38 I ST.

JOHN'S COLLEGE activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes-some led by students, others by tutors-in harmony, Latin, German, the New Testament, Leibnitz (his papers on calculus), and special aspects of chemistry and biology. Other activities stern from interests independent of the College curriculum. Most prominent among them have been those of the Garden Club and various classes in dance and martial arts. Theater life is active. Each of three drama groups offers a specialty: the King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, the Modern Theater Guild performs one or two modern works, and the Dwarf Players produce several one-act plays. Recently these groups produced The Night of the Iguana, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Le Misanthrope. Every weekend the student film club presents foreign and domestic films-the classics of cinema art. Additional film series, including The Ascent of Man and Roots, have been shown during the week. There is also a special winter film series on Wednesday nights. Iv1usic is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at College events. The College provides practice rooms and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Pennanent facilities such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom and stage floor provide places to develop specific skills. The College also maintains a small art gallery staffed by students. Recent shows of works by Roualt, Daumier and Hart have been held there. An exhibit each spring displays work by members of the College community . An artist in residence teaches classes and coordinates exhibits. Classes in pottery, photography, sculpture and painting continue throughout the year. Parties, an important part of cornmunity life where students and tutors meet informally, come in several varieties. The Society of Bacchus arranges rock dances, waltz parties and community gatherings including the Halloween Masked Ball, Mid-Winter Ball, Christmas Party and the Spring Cotillion. Vigorous square dances and quiet jazz parties occur once or twice a year. A festival in the spring, Reality Weekend, begins with student skits and parodies and, after a parade up Main Street, provides a full day of picnicking and athletic competition. Cultural events on campus include Sunday concerts and informal lectures by guest speakers, Annapolis itself offers church groups of all denominations, synagogues (detailed information on Jevvish student life is available on request), concerts, plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, State government, political work, community service groups, etc Washington, D. C. and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities, museums and stores too numerous to mention here. RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 41 ATHLETICS Since 1939, when intercollegiate athletics were abolished, the intramural sports program has flourished. About two-thirds of the students, both men and women, participate actively in individual and team sports. The Director of Athletics and two student assistants schedule events and coordinate use of the facilities, which include a well-equipped gymnasium, large playing fields, tennis courts and a boathouse with a number of sailboats and other small craft. Men's and women's teams compete in field hockey, touch football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball and track, each in its season. Doubles and single players compete in tennis, handball, squash, badminton, fencing, paddleball and table tennis. Sailing, canoeing and rowing are non-competitive activities offered purely for enjoyment. Excellence in sports is recognized and encouraged by individual and team awards; enjoyment of sports is the most important fruit of the athletic program and is its own reward. �RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 43 THE FE In the early 1960's the College decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. SL John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of 1964 in New Mexico's capital city, founded in 1610 by Spanish colonists. Its population of 50,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the State and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of American Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and co;weniences of a city of 400,000 people. The campus of 300 acres lies in the southeast comer of the City, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architedure of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of feet, overlooks the Santa Fe valley and off.:::rs superb views of the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The Campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a student center, a music and fme arts building, an administration building and two dusters of d01rnitories. A library, dining hall and infirmary are also located in these buildings. Nina 5. Garson Reflecting Pool. Santo Fe View from Dining Hall, Santo Fe �44 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Each of the sixteen dormitories on campus houses from twelve to eighteen students and serves as a smaller community of friends within the College. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and at the same time close companionship with a fellow student. The head resident helps students arrange to live in dormitories with others who share similar opinions about smoking, loud music and so on in a dormitory area. In addition to the two dormitory complexes on campus, students are also housed in a rambling twenty-room adobe house which was bequeathed to the College by the poet Witter Bynner. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with administration and faculty, rather than through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the College and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities including the artistic, the academic and the athletic Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The College's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists each month" Student art work is at the end of the school year, and awards are given for RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 45 achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting and in making jewelry. Au Verso, the literary magazine of the College, is published twice a year. It contains essays, artworks, poetry, short stories and photography from students and faculty alike. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed in order to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the College community with an opportunity to perform before a small, receptive audience. Through this organization students and faculty who play intruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the Madrigal Singers also give recitals. The College provides numerous keyboard instruments including two grand pianos and a harpsichord for student practice and performance" Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The Collegium Theatricum produces two or three plays each year. It also organizes evenings of soliloquies and one-act plays. Funds and equipment are provided by the Student Activities Office. The directing, acting, costumes and lighting are done by interested students and faculty. The SL John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the College community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater and visual arts. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling for the Santa Fe crisis center, working at the local health-food co-op or in other local activities, The St John's bus takes students into town twice a day. �46 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE RESIDENCE & STUDENT UFE I 47 Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus acti~ities, as are study groups in such languages as Russian, German, Spanish, Italian and Hebrew. Students preparing for entrance into medical school have attended classes at the University of New Los Alamos branch, under the sponsorship of the College. Thorne Fellowships also give students financial support toward fulfilling medical prerequisites during i:he summer months. ATHLETICS The Student Activities Office coordinates a volunteer athletic program which offers opportunities for training and competition in a wide range of sports from skiing and river rafting to soccer and fencing. These last two are sports in which St. challenges other colleges and universities, and the College usually has one of the finest fencing teams in the Southwest. There are indoor facilities for judo, karate, tai chi chuan, weightlifting, gymnastics and fencing, but during much of the year these activities can be done outof-doors. Intramural programs in soccer, track, volleyball and badminton are conducted at the College's facilities. A men's soccer team and a women's soccer team both play with other teams in the area and are hosts to several tournaments in the fall and spring. The St. John's basketball team competes in a city league. Santa Fe's municipal swimming pool is reserved for St. John's one night each week. A horse corral on the campus is available for student and faculty use; horses may be hired at a nearby ranch. The adjoining Sangre de Cristo Mountains provide hundreds of square miles of forest and wilderness areas for hiking and camping. Here the St" John's Search and Rescue unit trains regularly in techniques of map reading, first aid, wilderness survival, rock climbing and cliff evacuation. The team is called out in emergencies several times a year; students have permission to be absent from camuus in the event of a search or rescue. The Santa Fe Ski Basin" (seventeen miles to the north) and the Taos Ski Ba.sin (tvvo hours away by car) offer fine slopes for both beginning and advanced and several cross country ski trails branch off from them. Students may borrow skis, boots and poles from the College, and the St John's bus provides \/\/hen the weather is warmer the Student Activities Office excursions down the Rio Grande kayak, canoe and rubber 1Nith overnight carnping along the way.

JOHN'S COLLEGE DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming student to make proper use of the support that other students can give him in his college life. Unmarried students not living at home are required to live in the college dormitories and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they obtain permission from the Assistant Deans to live off-campus. The College currently can offer no married student housing at Annapolis, but does, on a limited basis, at Santa Fe. Students who wish to have married student housing must find suitable housing off-campus and should allow time for this. Room assignment is the responsibility of the Assistant Deans in Annapolis and of the Head Resident in Santa Fe. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter or spring vacation. In Santa Fe students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, alchough a small fee is charged. DINING HALL The dining hall on each campus is operated by a catering service. A vegetarian menu is available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. Exemptions for medical reasons are granted only upon examination and recommendation by the College Physician. CAREER COUNSELING OFFICE The Career Counseling Office serves student needs in two especially important areas. First, it provides essential information for those students planning to continue their education in graduate programs and professional schools across the nation. The Director of Career Counseling also offers assistance and counseling to those students who wish to embark upon careers immediately after graduation. STUDENT Er11IPLOYMENT OFFICE An employment service, initiated and run by students, locates off-campus RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE I 49 jobs. Primarily, it seeks part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it can also aid students looking for full-time summer employment in the local community. INHRMARY SERVICE Well-equipped infirmaries are maintained at both campuses, each under the supervision of a College Physician and a College Nurse. A daily medical report is sent to the Assistant Deans. A psychiatrist or clinical psychologist is available for consultation. RULES Of RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the Dean in consultation with students and the faculty. Every entering student is informed of them, and returning upperclassmen are reminded of them each fall. The rules differ in certain details on the two campuses, though in general they follow the same pattern. The academic and intellectual life of the community is inseparable from the communal life. The building of a good community requires the faculty to show respect for the individuality of each student. All students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student Manual published annually by the College. St. John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the College may require withdrawal of the offending student PROPERTY DAMAGE The College provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The College inspects the rooms periodically and repairs at the expense of the occupant or occupants any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The College is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �50 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE ADMISSIONS I 51 The standards by which applicants are selected for SL John's are special, and prospective students find it rewarding to write the essays that constitute an application to the College. People who apply 1Nant an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they vvill learn to s12e into others' ideas as well as their own; and pabon in their own education.

The enrollment is ~bout 375 students in Annapolis and 320 in Santa Fe. The size of each class is lnn1ted on each campus, Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women, Classes enter in late August and Jar~uary in Santa Fe, m September and January in Annapolis. Nevv students are enrolled only as freshmen; a fourth or more of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere" These students, despite 900d records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take p;rt in the St. John's program.

They can thus graduate a year earlier than if they had ?ostp~ned their entrance until the following falL The January class is of partJCular mterest to students who come to St John's from other colleges, or w~w have traveled or,w.orked since graduation from high school, or who wJSh to enter St. Johns immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. �52 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS Most applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements include tvvo years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the essays and academic transcripts, applicants must present two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are noi: required, bui: may prove helpfuL Occasionally St. John's accepi:s an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such a student must be well qualified to profit from the College program. A campus visit and interview are especially important for such candidates. These students usually wish to enter SL John's following their junior year of high school or in the January immediately after the first semester of their senior year. St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. PROCEDURE St. John's College is a single located on two campuses. PJthough applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the College as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the College welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. A student should submit his application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus he prefers to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. ADMISSIONS I 53 St. John's has a policy of rolling admissions. There is no application deadline, but applications for both fall and January classes should be submitted as early in .the year as possible. Because there are occasional vacancies in classes due to last-minute withdrawals, students who wish to apply late in the year should contact the Admissions Office for particulars. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are assembled, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the Committee's decision in about two weeks. Upon notification that his application has been accepted, an applicant has the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, he must submit a non-refundable deposit of $150 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which his application was processed, together with a statement specifying the campus he wishes to attend. Deposits are accepted on a first-come, first served basis until the entering class is filled. If the applicant is also a candidate for financial aid, the deposit will be accepted with the understanding that it will be refunded if sufficient aid cannot be offered to make it possible for him to attend the College. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus has already been filled, the deposit may be automatically transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class. It may also be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the student's first-choice campus. The deposit will be applied to the first year's fees. All financial aid awards will be made from the campus on which the student decides to enroll. A physical examination is required of each student before registration. A form for reporting the examination, along with other registration materials, will be sent to each student prior to the date of enrollment but after receipt of the $150 deposit. TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, a student may transfer to the other at the beginning of any academic year, provided his record is in good standing and he notifies the Dean's Office of his intentions by February 25. If the student wishes to apply for financial aid, he must also file his new financial aid fonns by February 1. All such transfers are subject to approval the Deans of both campuses. I UIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to the Director of Admissions, St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland 21404 (Tel. 301/263-2371) or Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 (Tel. 505/982-3691). CAIV1PUS VISIT Anyone who is considering the possibility of entering St. John's should see the College for himself. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8:00 p.rn.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language l �54 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the Admissions Committee, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Wednesday or from Thursday to Saturday on the Annapo~ lis campus, from Sunday to Wednesday or from Wednesday to Saturday on the Santa Fe campus. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalogue should be checked to make certain the College will be in session during the time of the visit. Persons planning to visit should telephone (301/263-2371 for Annapolis or 505/982-3691 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for the visitor will be transportation. He will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings can usually be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the College Bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens and soap are provided by the College. If a visitor arrives weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., he should go the Admissions Office. Weekends and any day after 5:00 p.m., he should go to the College receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Campbell Hall at Annapolis and in the Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION The Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis and the driver will let one off at the campus if he asks. Buses from Washington are less frequent and arrive at the Annapolis Greyhound Bus Terminal (about six blocks from the College). By car one takes Route 50 from Washington or Route 2 from Baltimore. A limousine service from the Albuquerque airport to Santa Fe also is available. Called the "Shuttle-jack," it leaves the airport seven times a day and costs $13.00 one way. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Am track stops at Lamy, N .M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. FEES & FINANCIAL AID I 55 FEES & FINANCIAL AID The College believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the College's resources. With very few exceptions, financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: 1. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The College can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts and additional children to be educated. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan or part-time employment and will be offered to all students as a package which combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to �FEES & FINANCIAL AID I 57 56 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award" At SL John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan" 5" The total amount of financial aid the College offers a student may not exceed the student's demonstrated financial need" 6" Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid" 7" Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (See page 61") 8" Financial aid awards are made in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1980 which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin" B" The procedure for applying for financial aid is as follows: 1" Applicants for admission who also plan to apply for financial aid should fill out the application for financial aid in the back of this catalogue and return it to the appropriate Admissions Office" 2" Applicants must also file the current Financial Aid Form with the College Scholarship Senrice in Princeton, New Jersey or Berkeley, California. This form permits applicants or their parents to present a detailed account of the faraily's financial position" It may be obtained from either secondary schools or the Financial Aid Office at St. John's" 3" Candidates for financial aid from the College must first establish their eligibility for the Basic Educational Opportunity (Pell) Grant, a Federal program described in Section D belmN" The College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid Fomz enables candidates lo indicate that they wish to apply for a Pell Grant" Students should so indicate" No financial aid award will be made by the College until the student submits his copy of the Pell Grant Student Eligibility Report to the Financial Aid Office" 4, As part of the application for financial aid, parents of dependent applicants and applicants who claim self-supporting status must provide an official copy of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return" 5. Self-supporting students are required to meet the Federal definition of independence and have an affidavit of non-support on file in the Financial Aid Office" This form will be mailed to parents or guardians upon receipt of the Financial Aid Form if the applicant is claiming selfsupporting status. 6. Residents of Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont must apply for a State Scholarship" 7" An applicant who has previously attended an institution of higher education must provide a Financial Aid Transcript from that institution" Financial Aid Tr"anscripts can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, 8" Students applying for and receiving financial aid from SL John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situtation; and changes of name, marital status and address" C Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: FRESHMAN CANDIDATES Although the College has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that need as soon as possible" The Financial Aid Form/ Pell Grant Application should be filed with the College Scholarship Service as soon as possible after January 2 in the year in which the candidate wishes to be admitted" Those who wish to enter in January should submit the FAF/Pell as early as possible in the preceeding yeac Likewise, the SL John's Financial Aid Application in this catalogue should be filed with the Admissions Office as soon as possible after its receipt by the candidate" Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met Candidates for admission applying after February 25 for financial aid have significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier" RETURNING STUDENTS Applications are due by February 25 from enrolled students who are returning to the College and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time" Beginning on December 1, the Financial Aid Office will provide the necessary Financial Aid Form, which should be completed and filed with the College Scholarship Service on January 2 or as soon thereafter as possible. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the February 25 deadline will be notified of the decision on their application on April L Applications completed after February 25 will not be considered unbl awards have been made for applications completed before the deadline" Awards based on applications completed after the deadline will not be mailed until after April 15.

Awards are renewed annually and those recipients who wish to be considered for stipends in excess of $250 should apply for financial aid each year. 1981-82 STUDENT BUDGET* BASIC EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (Pell Grant) This Federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (SEOG) The College awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. These grants are made to students who have financial need and are unable to pursue a course of study without the grant. Eligibility for SEOG is limited to $2000 per year.

'Undetermined at time of publication. 1 NATIONAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN (NDSL) These loans are made by the College directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the Federal Government. The maximum loan for four years of undergraduate study for the first baccalaureate degree is $6000. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the College. Repayment begins six months after the borrower terminates attendance at the College. There is provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. Depending on the total loan commitment, the repayment may extend from ten to twenty years. FEDERALLY INSURED/GUARANTEED STUDENT LOAN (FISL/GSL) These programs enable a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit. union, savings and loan association or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The loan is guaranteed by a state or private nonprofit agency or insured by the Federal Government. The maximum amount a student may borrow is $2,500 a year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. The interest rate is nine percent per annum for any student who obtains his first GSL after January 1, 1981. The interest rate for BILLING AND DEPOSITS Billing for tuitio~ and fees is done prior to each semester. The charges are due and payable m full on or before the registration dates for that semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should inquire of the Treasurer about the various commercial tuition payment or loan plans available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the College must kn?w in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $150 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or be_fore the first Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors and semors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, he may have to be placed on a waiting list; stu?ents to :whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, military service, aca- �FEES & FINANCIAL AID/ 61 60 I ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE demic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which he made the deposit, the deposit is forfeited, and he must make a new deposit to secure his place in a subsequent class. If there should be any difficulties in making this deposit, the student should contact the College Treasurer at the earliest possible date to make suitable arrangements. Each student is required to make a deposit of $75, called the Caution Fee, which is subject to charges for laboratory breakage, damage to or loss of college property and other minor mishaps. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the Freshman Year, but each student must bring the balance (after damages assessments, if any) up to the full $75 at registration each semester. If unused, it is refunded on request at the end of the academic year or when a student leaves the College. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $25 at the beginning of the second semester of the Senior Year. Unless otherwise requested, the College presents its bills directly to the student, with a copy to the parents. There is a fee of $25 for late registration for each semester. The cost of books is about $200 a year. Class copies of many of the program books are available in the College library. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the Treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the College may not register for classes at the beginning of the second and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the Treasurer. The College may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY If a student withdraws or is dismissed during any semester, a refund of fees for tuition will be made according to the following schedule: The first two weeks: 80% The third week: 60% The fourth week: 40% The fifth week: 20% The sixth week and thereafter: no refund The above schedule also applies to room and board in Annapolis. In Santa Fe, a refund on fees for board will be made on a pro rata basis; there will be no refund made for room fees. If applicable, refunds will be made to students only after refund payments are first made to such federal and state funds as the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program, the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, the National Direct Student Loan Programs, the Federally Insured/Guaranteed Student Loan Programs, State Student Grant or Scholarship Programs, and to any institutional financial aid programs. Enrolled students due refunds because their financial aid exceeds monies due the College will receive those refunds in accordance with a schedule of payments determined by the Financial Aid Director on each campus. Refunds for substantiated medical reasons will be on a pro rata basis. CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions. of ~he. Higher Educ.ation _Act of 1976 require that each post~eco~dary 1.nshtut10n make available information concerning the criteria for Judging satisfacto~ progress. The criteria for St. John's College follow: Any student is deemed to be making satisfactory progress if at the end of the current ~emes~er he is permitted to enter the next semester, and if that next semester willdb include the repetition of any work · This perm1ss10n is nor· · · mall t not . y gran e ya committee composed of all the student's tutors th "D ~ag Committee_." The Don Rag Committee grants the permission' on!y af~; 1t has asse~sed his_ curre~t semester's work in all parts of the Program and has appro'.'ed its quality. This assessment is conducted in his presence by all of his t~to~s in common. At the end of his Sophomore Year, however, this permiss10n is granted by the Dean and the Instruction Committee in the light of h" s oSve~all wor~ d_uring his first two years. At the end of the first semester of h~s emor Year it .1s gra~ted almost automatically. . In except~onal c1r~umstances a student is permitted to begin a semester with the speoal reqmrement that he meet certain conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases the student is deemed to be making satisfactory progress unless the Dean determines that the conditions have not b~en met. When ~he conditi?ns have not been met, the Dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. If the student is permitted to remain in the College he · deemed to be making satisfactory progress. ' is VETERANS In compli~i:ice with ~e?eral and State regulations, St. John's has developed a set of pohc~es ~n minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. 1. ~t. _Johns will r~~ort to t~e Veterans Administration within 30 days all inc1d~nts of official termination or change of status that would affe t benefits. c 2. Minimurr:i acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/ or his tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the Dean w~o may a~k the stu~ent to leave the College or may place him on aca~em1c prob.ahon. During that probation period, support and counseling ar~ available. Failure to meet standards through two semester~ of probation must be reported to the V.A. A third semester of certification ~ay not be granted for V.A. benefits without approval of a VA counseling psychologist. · · 3. V.A. requires t~at grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a VA enroll~d studen~ withdraw from any course at any point subsequent t~ the midterm point of any semester, a grade of F will be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on V.A. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. �L DJ TENNIS COURTS N\_ \ ii �64 I ST JOHN'S COLLEGE BOARD/ 65 BIBLIOGRAPliY BOARD OF VISITORS AND GOVERNORS BOOKS ABOUT LIBERAL EDUCATION OfHCERS ADLER, MORTIMER J., and CHARLES VAN DOREN: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

A system 'of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College Each of these scholarships e_ntitles the from the State. holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of the room rent and tuition fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District ; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room-rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Co.mmons, (including fuel, lights and washing,) to all ,,, '! I I· I �28 Circular oj St. J'ohn's College. Circular of St. John's College. incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $200 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $roo at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. In mder to. secure greater efficiency to the College, and a higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive exq.minations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Department of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. There will be two vacancies in these Scholarships at the close of the present session, viz : one from Carroll, and one from Charles county. Books will be furnished hereafter to those students only who hold Senatorial Scholarships for both board and tuition, and if damaged or lost, will be charged to them at their full cost. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. p', 1 .i'I The General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872. ch. 393, and I 878, ch. 3 I 5,) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights and washing to one of the six incumbents of State Scholarships for tuition from each Senatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, after competitive examination. The law requires that candidates shall produce before the Board of School Commissioners satisfactory evidence of their moral character, _and of their inability, or the inability of their parents or guardians, to pay the regular College charges .. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required by law to pledge. themselves that they will continue students of the College for the full term of four ye_ars, 1Jnle5s prevented by unavoidable necessity, and that they will teach. School within the State for not less than two years after leaving College. To obtain a full Collegiate education, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College ; they will not hereafter be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching ]Jereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient m preparation. In filling these vacancies, t~e Boa~ds of Sc~ool Co!11missioners are requested, other thmgs bemg equal, fo appomt those candidates who are at least sixteen years of age and ar.e most advanced in their studies. It is required that all appli• cants hereafter should be prepared, in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the Freshman Class of the College. 1 ~The Secretaries of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the Principal of the College the names of those former incumbents of these Scholarships who are now, or may hereafter be, employed. in teaching in their respective counties, or in the city of _Baltimore. COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the· Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College : For a permanent Scholarship for tu.it.ion, $rooo. For a permanent Scholarship for board and tmt10n, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship for the board and tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $800. For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be i1:1 t~e same proportion, the money in each case to be paid m advance into the treasury of the College. The establishment of these Scholarships is commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College. �Czrcular of St. 'John's College. 31 ! , .I To the People of Maryland. In sending out the Catalogue of the Twelfth Session since the reorganization of ST. JOH.l\'S COi.LEGE, the Faculty would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland the advantages presented by the College for the attainment of a thorough and liberel education. The location of the College makes it easy of access from all portions of the State, and its situation has been often commented on as peculiarly· imitable for a Literary Institution. The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and .the Course of Study will challenge comparison with that of most first-class Colleges in the. land. The effort is constantly made to raise the grade and improve the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to those of Colleges elsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872 has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosophical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific studyhave been greatly increased. Especially noticeable are the extremely low terms charged (two hundred and seventyfive dollars) for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-terms much less than those of Colleges in other States, and altogether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted lzy the State. In return for this assistance, when it was first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and fifty scholarships (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling the holders, appointed by the Board of School Commissioners of the District, to exemption from payment of fees for tuition and room rent-thus limiting the charge for board, fuel, lights, and washing, for these students, to two hundred dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature of 1872 [Act amended by the Legislature of 1878], for making twenty-six of the scholarships (one from each Senatorial District) free of all charges for board, fuel, . · lights, and washing, under certain conditions specified in the preceding Circular. These are the great advantages which~ the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to well known Colleges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, a1~d which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all want. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost ? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. 11 he General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. :393, and 1878, ch. 315,) has provided for furnishing b1rn,rd, fuel, lights and washing to one of the six incumbent8 ofRtate Scholarships for tuition from each SPnatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners. by and with the advic,e and consent of the Senators in their respective Di,stricts, after competitive examination. The law requires that candidates shall prodncti before the Board of School Commissioners satisfactorv evidence of their morn.I character, ancl of their inability: or the inability of their parent8 or giiardians, to pay the regular College charges.These Schohtrships are tenable for four years, and the incmnbei1ts are required by law to pledge themselves that they wili continue students ot the College for the foll term of four years, unless prevented by unavoidable necessity, and that they will teach School within the State for not less than two years after leaving· College. 1'o obtain a full Collegiate' edu-cation, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates shonlrl be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College; they will not hereafter be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Acaclemic CJnrse in order to qmilify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are ccirnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, ancl especially to appoint none deficient fo preparation.

In seI:J.ding out the Catalogue of the Thirteenth Session :since the reorganization of ST. Jo1rn's COLLEGE, the Faculty ·would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland the advantages presented by the College for the attainment of a thorough and liberal edu_cation. The location of the College makes it easy of access from ·all portions of the State,. and its situation has been often ·commented on as peculiarly suitable for a Literary Institution. •I '•I The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and the Course of S1mcly will ·challenge compatisou with that. of most first-class Colleges in the land. 'fhe effort is constantly made to raise the grade and imp1·ove the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to those of Colleges ''C'lsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872 has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosopl1ical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific study have 'been greatly increased. E~pecially noticeable are th<!: extremely low terms charged (two hundred and seventy-five dollars) for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-termR much less than those of Colleges in other States, and alto.gether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted by the ~tate. In Teturn for this assistance, 'when it was first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and fifty scholarships (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling t.he holders, appointed by the Board of School Comr11issioners of the District, to exemption from payment of fen> fo1· tuition and room rent-thus limiting the charge for board, fuel; lights, and washing, for these students; to two hundr€cl dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature ofl872 ,[Act amended hy the Legislature of 1878], for making twenty·six of the scholarships (one from each .Senatorial District) free of ap charges for board, foel, light.ti, and washing, uncler •certain conditions specified in the preceding Circular. ' 31 These are the great advantages which the College presDnts for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified, to. avail th ems elves, of-them. Such are unable to go beyond ~he borde~s of the State and can thus obtain a liberal educat10r;i at theu very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to well known Co!leges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. .ToHN s COLLEGE and thus neglect the opportumty now an.cl here afforclecl of building up a College, already th~ equal of rnan_y. of these, and which, by proper SUJ?port ~rom t.he peoJ?le ?± Maryland, may in t~me become tl:e nvalof any .111st1t~t10n m the land? A sufficient amount 1s annually dra;rned f1.0111 the State by.sending her sons abroad .for an educat10n wluch may. he obtained at home, to place tlns College above all want.VY-ill the people neglect th? l~terary ad'.'antages pre~en~e~ here) and go elsewhere for a snmlar education at greate1 cost. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The departments of Histqry and the English Language and Literature~ and of _Natural Science, having been recently reorganized, the followmg outlme of the courses in these departments is ap· pended: DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. In this department instruction will be given~ .,' COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The Course of Instr.uction embraces the following departments : I. II. ,, ., 'i :1., ANCIENT LANGUAGES-Including the Latin and Greek languages, Greek and Roman Antiquities and Mythology, and the History of Greek and Roman literature. Prof. DASHIELL and Ass't-Prof. HOPKINS. MODERN LANGUAGES-Including the French and. German languages and literature. Profs. LEROUX and HOPKINS. III. MATHEMATICS-Including Pure Mathematics, M~chanics and Astronomy. Prof. JOHNSON. IV. NATURAL SCIENCE-Including Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Mineralogy and Geology, and the elements of Zoology and Botany. Prof. CLAUDE. 1st. IN HrsTORY.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman h~s~ory is belie".ed to be the basis of all historical study, and these w1I. _first be. carefully lear~ed. This will be followed with a general outlme of history, after Gibbon, from the accession of Commodus to the fall of Constantinople. After this the history of the Middle Ages will occupy the attention of the student, which will be succeeded by as extended a notice of modern European and Americ an . h1story as the limited time will permit. 2d. IN THE ENGLISH AND ANGLO·SAXON LANGUAGES AN~ THEIR ~ITE~ATURE.-Under this head the art of Composition and Rheton_c_ will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written com_pos1t10n and declamation, and a thorough analysis of the gramm~t1cal structure of t1!e language. The history of English literature w_ill then ~e taken up, and the lives of authors studied in connection with specimens of their writings, which will. be criticized in class. After this the English of the Elizabethan age will be made a subject of study, and the most marked points of difference between Elizabethan and modern Engl~sh noted and commented on. Finally, the Anglo-Saxon language will be carefully studied,- and in connection ,,I �,......--- ' 22 OIRODLAR OF ST. JOHN'S OOLLEGE. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. with it lectures delivered on the origin and history of the English language, and lectures introductory to the Comparative Grammar of the Teutonic languages, an outline being given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and subdivisions of the IndoEuropean family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, after manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtius, of Leipzig. As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. In the course above sketched the Professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generalize, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively from principles to facts ; second, to impart such know ledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess ; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the laboratory and cabinet as complete as possible. Contributions for illustration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfully received. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. In this department instruction will be given1st. IN ZOOLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organs which, variously modified, pen·ade the genera, classes, families and branches, in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy ar;id physiology. 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods, &c. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and equilibrium, and the application of these, first to the action and reaction of masses-solid, liquid, and gaseous-embracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatics; second; of molecules, embracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics ; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces, embracing "the correlation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity, and light, in their chemical relations; a description of the element_s and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separation, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these are explained ; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded_; the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. 5th. MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY-of which sciences a general survey will be taken after completion of the course in Physics and Chemistry. · POST-GRADUATE COURSE OF STUDIES. '- .. 1. l t The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or elsewhere, is assigned by the Faculty to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. This course will relate mainly to open questions in all departments of physical, literary, philological, or speculative inquiry, and thesis in each will be prescribed to candidates according to the current aspects of science and investigation in the most interesting branches of human study and thought. In the assignment of such theses regard will also be had to the favorite studies of the individual candidate, that the spirit of original inquiry in each may be duly encouraged. Candidates for this degree are required, within three months after graduation, to select at least two of the departments of study specified in this Catalogue (pp. 20, 21,) and under the direction of the Professors in these departments to pursue their studies for the two years of the Post-Graduate Course, submitting to them such essays, or undergoing such oral or written examinations, as may be required to test their qualifications for this degree. �' I I Iii CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE: CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. Written exami,nations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks for these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his !ost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A student deficient in knowledge or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in that study. A merit-roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from o to 5. In order to pass from a low.er to a higher class, each stu<lent must obtain an average of at least 2.5 each on his recitations and on his examinations for the Academic year. Demerits will be given for absence and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. Each student is required to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a member of it; and whenever any student can no longer cheerfully comply with College rules, he will be required to leave the Institution. All students are required to be present promptly on the opening day of the session, and no student will be permitted to leave the Col~ege while College exercises are going on, except in cases of urgent necessity, and at the written request ef his parent or guardian. The attention of parents and ![uardians is specially called to these regulations, and their co-operation earnestly requested. They are also earnestly solicited, on the occasion of holidays, not to detain students at home beyond the time allotted for suspension of College exercises. Students absent from any cause except protracted sickness, will be marked zero on all recitations made during their absence. When the cause of absence is satzifactorJ' to the FacultJ', they will be allowed to make up the omitted recitatz"ons. L~~~---=-=~~~--. . .---~-------------. 25/ The following Academic Degrees are conferred by the College : · The Degree of Master of Arts, conferred after completion of the Post-Graduate. Course of Studies. The Degree .of Bachelor of Arts, conferred upon students of the Senior Class who shall obtain an average of 3.7 5 on all the studies of the Senior year. The Degree of Prl!ftcient, conferred upon Students of the Select Course, who shall complete the course and obtain an average of 4 in any special study during the last year of the course in that study, and upon students of the regular Academic Course in any elective study, in which they shall complete the course and obtain a like average. The Degree of Distinguished Prl!ftcient is similarly conferred upon any student who shall obtain an average of 4.5 in any special study. ·Certificates of Distinction of the First and of the Second Grade are presented on Commencement Day to those students in any Class who shall have obtained an average of 4.5 and of 4 respectively in all their studies and in Conduct for the Academic year. Students who have obtained an average o( 4.5 in any one branch of study are honorably mentioned on Commencement Day, but no student is honorably mentioned, nor is any Certificate or Degree conferred upon any student who has received an average of less than 2.5 in any one study for the Academic year.

Through the liberality of the Legislature of 1872, and donations from the Classes of '71, '72 and '73, large additions have been made to the Library ; and, by means of the regular Library fees, subscriptions have been made to a large number of American and foreign periodicals. A complete library being an indispensable auxiliary to the intellectual advancement of Professors and students, the claims of the College Library are commended to the Alumni of the College, and to the friends of education in the State. Any contributions of books or funds for the Library will be gratefully acknowledged. l. The Annual Commencement of the College takes place on the first Wednesday in July. The College year begins on the third Monday in September and ends on the first Wednesday in July. The year is divided into two equal terms. The regular vacations extend from the first Wednesday in July to the third Monday in September, and from the 23d of December to ·the first Monday in January, both inclusive. The 22d of February, Good Friday and the 4th of July are holidays, as also the Day of Public Thanksgiving, appointed by the Governor of Maryland, or by the President of the United States. EXPENSES. LITERARY SOCIETIES. ), . i I There are two Literary Societies (the Philokalian and the Philomathean) among the students, which afford opportunities for the cultivation of composition and debate. An oration is usually delivered before these Societies on the day preceding Commencement Day, by some gentleman selected by them. 11,l II' I,: SOCIETY OF ALUMNI. The Society of Alumni holds its annual meetings on Commencement Day, on which occasion an oration is delivered by one of its The charge for the entire scholastic year, beginning on the third Monday in September, and ending on the first Wednesday in July, is $275.00 This amount covers all the ordinary College expenses except for text-books, and must be invariably paid semi-annually z'n advance, that is, $137.50 at the opening of the first term in September, and $137.50 at the opening of the second term, on the 15th of February following.

Students not holding Scholarships which entitle them to both board and tuition free, are required to provide themselves with furniture, including stoves. Furniture may, however, be hired from the Steward at a reasonable rate. Board at special rates, in clubs, may be had on terms arranged between parents and the manager of the boarding department. The boarding-house will be closed during the Christmas and Summer vacations. Books and stationery will be furnished at the lowest possible rates, and disbursements made for personal expenses of students, if funds shall be deposited by parents for this purpose, but no advances will be made by the College. The tuition fees of students who reside in Annapolis are as follows: In the Preparatory Department, for each term, payable in advance $30 oo In the Collegiate Department, for each term, payable in advance The extra charges, also payable in advance, by all Students, are as follows. : Seat in Church, per term, (paid by boarders) Library Fee Repairs and General Damages, (paid by boarders) Use of Gymnasium, (optional) Diploma of Proficient, at graduation Diploma of Bachelor of Arts, at graduation 1.50 5.00 5.00 3.00 5.00 10.00 No student will be matriculated until he shall present to the Faculty a receipt from the Treasurer for all dues ; and no Diploma will be awarded unless the candidate shall present to the Faculty a similar receipt, including fee for Diploma. Willful damage will be made the ground of additional charge to be defrayed by the perpetrator. STATE SCHOLARSHIP .l<"'OR TUITION. A system of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College from the State. Each of these scholarships entitles the holde<, in whose name it is : .f ~ ... \ issued, to exemption from the payment of the room-rent and tmtion fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these scholarships, whicht are filled by the School Commissioners of each District ; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room-rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights and washing,) to all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $zoo per annum, payable in advance, in semiannual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. In order to secure greater efficiency to the College, and a higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive examinations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Department of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. Books will be furnished hereafter to those students only who hold Senatorial Scholarships for both board and tHition, and if damaged or lost, will be charged to them at their full cost. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. The General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. 393,) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights and washing, to two of the six incu~bents of State Scholarships for tuition from each Senatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, after competitive examination. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required to give bond and security in the sum of $7 50 that they will teach school within the State for not less than two years after leaving College. To obtain a f~ll Collegiate education, the object contemplated �30 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLJ,EGE. by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College, although, if no candidates sufficiently well-prepared present themselves,. they will be, received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the" selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient in preparation. As the terms of the incumbents of several of these Scholars.hips expire at the close of the present session, there will then be the following vacancies : three from Baltimore City, one from each Legislative District; two from each of the counties of Baltimore, Dorchester, Frederick, Howard, Somerset, and Worcester; and on: from each o.f the connties of Allegany, Calvert, Charles, Harford, Kent, Montgomery, St. Mary's, and Wicomico. In filling these vacancies, the Boards of School Commissioners are requested, other things being equal, to appoint those candidates who are at least sixteen years of age and are most advanced in their studies. It is especially desired that all applicants hereafter should be prepared, in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the Freshman Class of the College. The Secretaries of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the Principal of the College the names of those incumbents of these Scholarships who are uow, or may hereafter be, empioyed in teaching in their respective counties, or in the city of Baltimore. COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College : For a permanent Scholarship for tuition, $1000. For a permanent Scholarship for board and tuition, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship for the board and tuition of· a student through all the College Classes, $800. :For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be in the same proportion, the money in each case to be paid in advance in to the treasury of the. College. The establishment of these Scholarships is earnestly commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College.

Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to the well-known Colleges of other States refuse their patronag·e to ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, and which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all want. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost? ~-~'-=--=-~=---- ------....-..~--ilillii=-iili--liililii------ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

PROSPECTUS OF THE S LOCATION AND ACCESS. T. JOHN'S COLLEGE, founded in the year 1784, and endowed by the State of Maryland, is pleasantly situated at Annapolis, on the banks of the Severn River, a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay, which is in full view. Its buildings, three in number, are large and well-constructed for the accommodation of youth. Its grounds afford ample facilities for exercise, and the waters of the Severn for bathing and boating. The situation is eminently healthy. Annapolis has railroad communications with Baltimore and Washington three times a day; daily steamboat communications with Baltimore, and telegraphic connection with all parts of the country. COURSE OF STUDY. The Preparatory Department of the College has two classes, entitled 1st and 2nd, according to the grade of studies. Students of the 1st Preparatory Class, who pass a satisfactory examination, are qualified for admission into the Freshman Class of the College.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not stu~y either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and German. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Olass. The studies o~ stu~ents of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classrns, will be so arranged that their time will be fully occupied. Students of the regular Academic Course are required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years. For classical students _below t~e Junior Olass, the French and German languages are elective studies. Apparatus for Gymnastic exercises has been erected, and regular hours of exercise assigned for each class. The use of the Gymnasium is granted on payment of a small fee. ----·--COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The Course of Instruction embraces the following departments: I.

HISTORY AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURElncluding Ancient and Modern History, the English and Anglo-Saxon languages and their literature, and an outline of the general principles of Comparative Philology. PRINCIPAL. The departments of History and the English Language and Literature, and of Natural Science, having been recently reorganized, the following outline of the courses in tnese departments is appended: DEPAR.TMENT OF HISTOR.Y, AND THE LANGUAGE AND LITERATUR.E. ENGLISH In this department instruction will be givenlst. IN HISTORY.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman history is believed to be the ba~is of all historical study, and these will fir11t be carefully learned. This will 15e followed with a general outline of history, as contained in Thalheimer's Manual of Medireval and Modern History, and illustrated by reference to the BretschneiderSpruner wall-maps. Should the limited time permit, a more particular study of some period of history will complete· the historical course. 2d. IN THE ENGLISH AND ANGLO-SAXON LANGUAGES AND THEIR LITERATURE.-Under this head the art of Composition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written composition and declamation, and a thorough analysis of the grammatical structure of the language. The history of English literat.ure will then be taken up, and the lives of authors stud1ed in connection with specimens of their writings, which will be criticised in class. After this the English of Shakspere will be made a specia_l subject of study, and the most marked points of difference between Elizabethan and modern English noted and commented on. This will be included in the critical study of some one of the plays of Shakspere. Finally, the Anglo-Saxon language will be carefully studied, and in 1·1 i.11' :.1 ' 1 11 �i r. 22 CIRCULAR OF ST.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. In· this department instruction will be givenlst. IN ZooLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organs which, variously modified, pervade the genera, classes, families and branches, in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy and physiology. · 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods, etc. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and equilibrium, and the application of these, first to the action and reaction of masses-solid, liquid, and gaseousembracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatics; second, of molecules, embracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces, embracing "the correfation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity, and light, in their chemical relations; a description of the elements and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separation, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these are explained; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded; the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. · As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. ;. ., .. . :.~ ·~,r .'~ i ' In the course above sketched the professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to .generalize, to ascend .in~uctively from facts to pr~nciples, to descend deductively from prmc1ples to facts; secon,d, to impart such knowledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the labor!l.tory and cabinet as complete as possible. Contributions for illustration of any .0 f the branches of this department will be thankfully received. POST-GRADUATE COURSE OF STUDIES. The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or elsewhere, is assigned by the Faculty to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. This course will relate mainly to open questions in all departments of physical, literary, philological, or speculative inquiry, and theses in each will be pre- · scribed to candidates according to the current aspects of science and investigation in the most interesting branches of human study and thought. In the assignment of such theses regard will also be had to the favorite studies of the individual candidate, that the spirit of original inquiry in each may be duly encouraged. Candidates for this degree are required:, within three months after . graduation, to select at least two of the departments of stu-iy specified in this Catalogue (pp. 20, 21,) and under the direction of the · Professors in these departments to pursue their studies for the two · years of the Post-Graduate Course, submitting to them such essays, or undergoing such oral or written examinations, as may be required to test their qualifications ·for this degree. f,, '· i !I J I. �' ',· ' I, :·' CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. Written examinations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks for these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A student deficient in knowledge or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in that study. A merit roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a higher class, each student must obtain an average of at least 2.5 each on his recitations and on his examinations for the Academic year. Demerits will be given for absence and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. Each student is required to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a member of it; and whenever any student can no longer cheerfully comply with College rules, he will be required to leave the Institution. All students are required to be p1·esent promptly on the opening day of t!te session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while College exercises are going on, except in cases of urgent necessity, and at the written reguest of his parent or guardian. The attention of parents and guardians is .<;pecially called to these regulations, and their co-operatzon earnestly requested. They are also earnestly solicited, on the occasion of holidays, not to detain students at home beyond the time allotted for suspen.sion of College exercises. Students absent from any cause except pro. tracted sickness, will be marked zero on all recitations made during th.eir absence. When the cause nf absence is satisfactory to the Facnlty, they will be allowed to make up the omitted recitations. / The following Academic Degrees are conferred by the College : The Degree of Master of Arts, conferred after completion of the Post-Graduate Course of Studies. The Degree of Bachelor oj Arts, conferred upon students of t~e Senior Class who shall obtain an average of 3.75 on all the studies of the Senior year. The Degree of Proficient, conferred upon students of the Select Course, who shall complete the course and obtain an a:erage of 4 in any special study during the last year of the course m that study, and upon students of the regular Academic Course in any elective study in which they shall complete the course and obtair: a like average. . . . . . . The Degree of Distinguished Proficient is s1~1larly confe~red upon any student who shall obtain an aver~ge of 4.5 m any special study, Certificates of Distinction of the First and of the Second Grade are presented on Commencement Day to those students in an_y Cla~s who shall have obtained an average of 4.5 and of 4 respectively m all their studies and in Conduct for the Academic year. Students who have obtained an average of 4.5 in any one branch of study are honorably mentioned on Commencement day, but no student is honorably mentioned, nor is any Certificate or Degree conferred upon any student who has received an average of less than 2.5 in any one study for the Academic year.

A complete library being an indispensable auxiliary to the mtellectual .advancement of Professors and students, the claims of the CollAge Library are commended to the Alumni of the College, and to the friends of educ_ation in the State. Any contributions of books or funds for the Library will be gratefully acknowledged. SOCIETY OF .ALUMINI. The Soc~ety of Alumni holds its 11.nnual meetings on Commencement Day, on which occasion an oratiop. is delivered by one of its 1 : members. All former students who have completed their collegiate education at St. John's Cc.llege, and left in good standing, are considered members of this Society. It numbers on its roll many names prominent in the history of the State. PUBLIC WORSIDP. The exercises of each day are opened with prayer m the College . .. ' Hall. All students are required to attend public worship on Sundays at such church as their parents or guardians may direct, and to abstain from whatever is inconsistent with a due observance of the Sabbath. The principles and duties of the Christian Religion will be constantly enforced in the teaching and in the discipline of the College, but no instruction whatever is given, or influence exerted, in the interest of any particular denomination of Christians. TERM~ AND VACATIONS. The Annual Commencement of the College takes place on the first Wednesday in July.

The 22d of February, Good Friday, and the 4th of July are holidays, as also the Day of Public Thanksgiving, appointed by the Governor of Maryland, or by the President of the United States. LITERARY SOCIETIES. There are two Literary Societies (the Philokalian and the Philomathean) among the students, which afford opportunities for the cultivation of composition and debate. An oration is usually delivered before these Societies on the day preceeding Commencement Day, by some gentleman selected by them. I . . ·1 ii III. Society of Alitmni Prizes.

In filling these vacancies; the Boards of School Commissioners are requested, other things being equal, to appoint those candidates who are at· least sixteen years of age and are most advanced in their studi!lS. It is especially desired that all applicants hereafter should be prepared, in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the. Freshman Class of the College. · .u@""The Secretaries.of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the Principal of the College the names of those former incumbents of these Scholarships who are now, or may hereafter be, employed in teaching in their respective counties, or in the city of . Baltimore. COLLEGIATE . SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College :. For a permanent Scholarship for tuition, $1000. For a permanent Scholarship for board and tuition, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student .through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship fer the board and tuition of a student through all. the College Classes, $800. For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be in the same proportion, the money in each case to be paid in advance into the treasury of the College. The establishment of these Scholarships is earnestly commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College. / / TO THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND. In sending out the Catalogue of the Eleventh Session since the reorganization of ST. JOHN'S CoLLEGE, the Faculty would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland tbe advantages presented by the flollege for the attainment of a thorough and liberal education. The location of the College makes it easy of access from all portions of the State, and its situation has been often commented on as peculiarly suitable for a Literary Institution. The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and the Course of Study will challenge comparison with that of most first-class Colleges in the land. The effort is constantly made to raise the grade and improve the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to tho~e of Colleges elsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872 has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosophical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific study have been greatly increased. Expecially noticeable are the extremely low terms charged (two hundred and seventy-five dollars) for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-terms much less than those of Colleges in other States, and altogether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted by the State. In return for this assistance, when it was first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and fifty scholarships (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling the holders, appointed by the Board of )School Commissioners of the District, to exemption from payment of , fees for tuition and room-rent-thus limiting the charge for beard, fuel, lights, and washing, for these students, to two hundred dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature of 1872 for making :fifty of the scholarships (two from each Senatorial Di11trict) free of all charges for board, fuel, lights, and washing, under certain conditions specified in the preceding Circular. I~ I i ! I �32 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. These are the great advantages which the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to other well known Colleges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. JoHN's COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, and which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education .which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all want. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study,. except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not study either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and German. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Class. The studies of students. of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classics, will be so arranged that their time will be fully occupied. Students of the regular Academic Course a.re required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years, unless they shall have completed the three years' course in either language before reaching the Junior or Senior year.For classical students below the Junior Class, the French and German languages are elective studies. Students holding Senatorial Scholarships may hereaftersubstitute French and German for Greek, and in that case shall study the Senior Chemistry in the Junior year, and an additional course in Chemistry' during the Senior year. The study ofthe Differential and Integral Calculus will net hereafter be required in the case of those students whose time is otherwise fully occupied. Apparatus for Gymnastic exercises has been erected, and regular hours of exercise assigned for each class. The use of the Gymnasium is granted on payment of a small fee. Course of Instruction.

I I ! �20 Circular of St. John's College. The st?dies of. the. several ~lasses have been so arranged as to make mstruction m the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made · to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the. labor.ato.ry and ?abinet as complete as possible. Contribut10ns for illustration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfully received. POST-GRADUATE COURSE. ' The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or ebewhere, is assigned by the Faculty to candidates· for the deO'ree of Master 0 of Arts. · Candidates for this degree are required to select at least two of the departments of ~tuclr specified in this Catalogue (page 19,) and under the d1rect10n of the professors in these departments to pursue their studies for the two years of the Post-Gr~,Juate Course, su~mitting to them such essays, or uu~ergomg such ?ral or. written examinations, as may be req mred to test their quahfi.catians for this degree. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. \Vritten examinations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks for these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations to make up .the ~tudent's standing for the term. Any student whose examrnat10ns at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with aclvantaO'e the studies of the class to which he belongs., will have offer~d to him on the firs~ .clay of th~ next year all" opportunity to retrieve his lost pos1t10n, and m default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A s~udent deficient in knowledge, or persistently neO'lectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to0 a lower class in that study. A merit roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a Circular of St. John's College. 21 higher class, each st?-de_nt must obtaiI~ an ave;ag~ of at least 2.5 each on his rec1tat10ns and on h1ti examrnahons for the Academic year. Demerits ~ill be given for abse?ce, and for violation of College regulations. Reports respectrng con~uct and scholarship, including all absences from College exe;mses, will be sent every 'two months to the parents or guar~ians of the students. Whenever any student of the Colleg1~te department has 100 demeritE for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any trne term, or 200 for the year, he must leave ihe Institution. Each student is requirer! to obey all the laws of the ColleO'fil so long as he shall remain a member of it; and whenever :ny student can no longer cheerfully c~mp~y with College rules, he· will be required to leave the lnst1tut10n. All Stiidents are reqitired to be present promptly on the opening day of the s.ession, and no spudent wi'.l~ be permitted ~o 1eave the College while College exercises are. going on, exceJ?t i;i cnses of urgent necessity, and ctt the written reqitest qf . his pctrent' or gitardian. The attentioi~ of parents Cf'nd gitardi!J;ns is specially called to these regnlatwns, a_n~ their co-operation earnestly requested. They w:e also solicited, on the occasion of holidctys not to detain students Ht home beyond the time allotted Jo; sitspension of College. exercise~. Students absent from any .caii.se except protra:cted si.ckness, will be rncirked zero on all recitation8 inade during their ab8ence. When the cause of absence is sati.ifavtory to the Fliculty, they will be allowed to make up the omitted recitations. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES.

The law requireei that candidateli shall produce before the Board of 'School Commissioners satisfactory evidence of their moral character, and of their inability, or the inability of their parents or guardians, to pay the regular College charges.A blank form of certificate, drawn in conformity to the above law, will be forwarded to the Secretaries of the several School Boards, for the use of the appointees to the said scholarships. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required by law to pledge themselves that they will continue students of the College for the foll term of four years, unless prevented by unavoidable necessity, and that they will teach School within the State for not less than two years after leaving CoJlege. To obtain a full Collegiate education, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient in preparation.

It has been decided to carry forward the Institution on its former basis, with a view to a thorough and .satisfactory reorganization at the close of the coming year. In the meantime we warmly commend it to the patronage of the people under its present management. The new Principal, the Rev. Dr. Leavitt, is known to the country by his various writings, also as Eclitor of the ''American Church Review," as founder of the "International Review," and as President of Lehigh University. He brings to his work ripe experience as well as extensive reputation, and under his leadership we believe our College is entering on a more vigorous existence. We wish it to live in the confidence and the sympathies of the people of Maryland, and ask them to send their sons to be educateclin our venerable institution, so closely linked with the history of the State. On our part we pledge ourselves that every thing possible shall be done for their educational discipline. E8pecially we invoke our Alumni and the friends of the College to exert themselves in .adding to the number of its students during the coming year, .and by every suitable method to extend and perpetuate its 1 GRATTAN HAGNER, A.

A system of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation of $15,000 received by the College from the State. Each of these Scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of room rent and tuition fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these Scholarships, which are filled by .the School Commissioners of each District; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights, washing and text-books,) to. all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $175 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $87.50 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. Books, furnished to the holder of a State Scholarship, if damaged or lost, will be charged to him at their full cost. An. inspection of 'such Books is made every month. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Its grounds afford ample faeilities for exercise, .and ~he waters of the Severn for bathing ancl boating. The situation is eminently healthy. Annapolis has mil road comunmications with Baltimore and Washington twice a day; daily steamboat communications ·with Baltimore, and telegraphic connections with all parts of the country. f.foius.e of Study. The Preparatory Department of the College has two classes, entitled 1st and 2nd, according to the grade of studies. Students of the 1st Preparatory Class, who pass a satisfactory examination, are qualified for admission into the Freshman Class of the College. The Collegiate Departmeut emlmwes three courses: 1st, The reo·ular Academic Course, occupying four years, and pursued inl':> the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes, entitling the O'raduates of the Senior Class, who shall pass a sat" isfactory examination, to the d~gree of. . Ba~helor of_ Arts. 2nd The Select Course, embracmg studies m the different clas~es according to the option of parents, and entitling the studen~ who shall coinplete the course and sustain a satisfactory examin~tion in any special study, to the degree of Proficient in that study. 3rd, The Post-Graduate Course, prescribed for students who aspire to the degree of Master of Arts, which is conferred only on such graduates of the regular academic course as shall pursue for two years, at the College or elsewhere, a course of study assigned by the Faculty, and who shall furnish satisfactory evidence of their proficiency in said course, by submitting to the Faculty, at designated periods, such written theses as may be specifically Tequired of each candidate for said degree. The degTee of Master of Arts is not conferred in coitrse, but only on the evidence of satisfactOTy attainments in advanced studies. A course of instmction in military tactics and exercises js open to all students ·who voluntaTily assume the duties of the military organization. In this department there are two classes. The members of the first class wear a uniform and constitute the military companies proper. The members of the second class, though organized into companies, are not required to wear a uniform, but are exercised in such portions of the U.S. Tactics and free gymnastics, as 1vill promote their physical development, and make them desirable candidates for admission into the first class. The military exercises have been suspended during the present session. Vocal and Instrumental Music and Drawing are taught at special charges, on terms arranged between students and .the Professors of Music and Drawing. Tim.e and T.e:rrns 0-f J-drnission.

In this depa.;rtment instruction will be given1st. In HiStory.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman history is believed to be the basis of all .historical study, and these will first be carefully learned. This will be followed with a general outline of history, after Gibbon, from the accession of Commodus to the fall of Constantinople. After this the history of the Middle Ages will occupy the attention of the student, which will be succeeded by as extended a notice of modern European and American history as the limited time will permit. During the latter portion of the course an effort will be made to trace the causes which have combined to produce the present state of modern civilization; 2d. In the English and Anglo-Saxon Lctnguages and their Literature.-Under this head the art of Cqmposition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written · composition and declamation. The history of English literature will then be taken up, and the lives of authors studied in connection with' specimens of their_ writings, which will be criticised in class. .A.fter this the English of the Elizabethan age will be made a subject of study, and the most marked - - - - - - - ---------- - - - - - - - · - - - - - - - - - - - - - i Ii i �,~ ,- ·---·----------·---·-·--·-----·-·--------- ··---·------~ C£RCULAR OF ST.

Finally, the- Anglo-Saxon language will be carefully studied, and in connection with it lectures delivered on the origin and history of the English language, and on the Comparative Grarn:mar of the Teutonic languages, free use being made of the valuable works of March, Marsh, Heyne and Helfenstein, and an outline given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and subdivisions of the Indo-European family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, after Schleicher and manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtins, of Leipzig. and the principles, on which they are founded, the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. 5th. In JJ£ineralogy and Geology-of which sciences a general survey will be taken after completion of the course in physics and chemistry. In the course above sketched the Professor will endeavor ' first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generalize, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively from principles to facts; second, to impart such knowledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. During the present session a separate Professor has been appointed for this department, and the studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make· instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the laboratory and cabinet as complete as possible.

Any student whose examinations at the close of a yeat shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the st11dies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A merit-roll is kept and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. Demerits will be given for absences and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. On admission each student is required to sign a pledge on his honor to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a member of it, and whenever any student can no longer cheei·fully comply with College rules, he is expected to comply with his pledge and leave the Institution. All students are required to be present promptly on the opening day of the session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while College Exercises are going on, except in case of urgent necessity, ai1d at the written request of his parent or guardian. ,The attention of parents and guardians is specially called to these regulations, and their co-operat~on earnestly·requested.

A system of has been founded by the Board of V1S1tors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College from the State. Each of these Scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of room rent and tuition fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the_ scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State ~s entitled to six of these Scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District ; and in case more than six shall he nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the· rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room rent, the College authorities engaO'e during the coming year to furnish board in the College· Com~ons, (including fuel, lights, washing and text-books,) to all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $200 per :mnum, payable in admance, in semi-annual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. Books furnished to the holder of a State Scholarship, if damaged or lost, will be charged to him at their full cost. -An inspection of such books is made every month. In order to secure greater efficiency to the College and a higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive examinations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Department of the College.

JoHN's COLLEGE was established by act of Legislature in November, 1784. The year following, the King William School, established at Annapolis about 1704, was incorporated with it, and ,on 1st ~arc?, 1786, Annapolis was selected as the site of the College. fhe Inst1tut1on was opened on November 11th, 1789, and we are told that "the dedication was performed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance and forming a long procession from the State ~ouse to the College Hall." 'fhe cha1'ter of St. John's provides that "the said College shall be founded and maintained fo1·ever, upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination," and authorizes certain specified agents, among whom are clergJ?l_en of the ~oman Cat;10l_ic, Episcopal a:nd ~resby­ terian Churches "to solicit and receive subscript10ns and contributions for the said intended College and Seminary of universal learning, of any person or persons, bodies politic antl corporate, who may be willing to promote so good a design." Private subscriptions to the amount of £10,000 were collected, and " to provide a peiwianent fund for the further encouragement and establishmei;i.t of the said College," the Legislature enacted that "the sum of £1750 current money ($4,666.66) be annually and forever hereafter given and granted, as a donation by the public to the use of the said College." Established on such a liberal basis the College, under Dr. John McDowell as Principal, discharged its duty faithfully and efficiently :until ~806, se~ding forth yearly as her alumni young men, afterwards promment ~n the history of Maryland and Virginia. In January of that year the Legislature, by a majority of only eight members, saw fit to withdraw the annuity, and the Visitors and Governors were compelled to announce the temporary suspension of the College. In 1807 Rev. Dr. Judd was chosen Principal, and in January, 1812, $1,000 of the annuity were restorec'., but this was unequal to the maintenance of a College. A lottery granted m 1821 added $20,000 to the funds and enabled the College to continue in operation. The Rev. Dr. Davis served as Principal from 1820 to 1824. and Rev. Dr. Rafferty from 1824 to 1831. In 1831 the late Rev. Dr. Hector Humphreys was appointed Principal, and by "his persevering efforts and perso~al influenc~ :vith the members of the Legislature," in rf\sponse to a memorrn~ of the yisitors and Governors, that body in 1833 added $2,000 to the anmuty, PT?.v:ided the ~oar~ of Visitors and Governors should agree to accept the same m full satisfaction of all legal or equitable claims they might have, or be supposed to have, aO'ainst the State." Glad to obtain even this small amount, and anxious to p~event a suspension of the College, the BoaTd consented, and "the deed of release was executed and entered upon the Tecords of the Court of Appeals." At the same time the Governor of the State, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and Judges of the Court of Appeals were made e.v officio members of the. B9ard, thus indelibly i::ffixing to the .College the character of a State Institiitwn. In 1823 a committee of the Legislature was appointed to visit the College, in whose report we find the foll?wing statement: " The prosperity of St. John's College _is deemed a subject 9f .g~·eat importance, so that the youth from every portion of the two grea:t divis10ns of the State may convene with the well-grounded assurance of bemg ab;e ~o ,acquire a liberal education, and :i-t th~ sam~ time, consumm::te the patrio~c anticipations of the charter.-It is believed m no way can this parental aspiration be so well realized, as by sustaining on a liberal scale a SeminaTy of Learning at the seat of legislation." The comi;riittee furtl~er recommend raising money by subscription and remark: "It is an expechent res~rted to by many flourishing seminaries of learning in distant States, to which our own citizens have liberally contl'ibuted, whilst the unpretending chaTacter of this Institution has shrunk froni resortjng to so familiar and legitimate a mode of obtaining assistance. The authority and policy of such a measure are urged on the consideration of the Visitors and Governors, and earnestly commended to the public." Encouraged by these marks of legislative approval and support, the Visitors and Governors authorized and Tequested the Principal to collect subscriptions fol' the eTection of additional buildings, and for the Library and Philosophical apparatus, and appointed a committee to co-operate with him in carrying this resolution into effect. It was proposed to collect $30,000, about $11,000 of which were secured, and in June, 1835, the corner-stone of Humphreys Hall was laid, with imposing ceremonies, and an address from a distinguished alumnus 'of the Colleg~. From this time on we have lists of graduates for each year, except '43, '45, '48, '51, and '54, until 1855, when the College was reorganized, and in the same year Pinkney Hall was erected. Two years afterward, the veneTated and esteemed Principal, Rev. Dr. Humphreys, died, and the Rev. Dr. Nelson was chosen as his successor, under whose administration the College continued in successful operation until 1861, when its exercises were suspended. To understand the present position of the College, a brief statement of the efforts of the Visitol'S and Governors to recover the appropriation granted by the charter "annually and f01·ever," is necessary. In the yeal' 1859 the Board of Visitors and Governors, believing that the act of 1806, withdrawing the appropriation, was a violation of chartered rights, and therefore null and void, after obtaining the consent of the Legislature, submitted to the Court of Appeals the following points for decision: "(1) Whether the annual appropriation of the act of 1784 constituted a contract on the part of the State which could not be legally repealed by the act of 1806. (2) Wh13.ther this last act was not a violation of that section of the Constitution of the United States which declares that 'no State shall pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts;' and (3) Whether the act of 1784 constituted such a contract as would, if entered into between individual citizens, be binding upon them." All tltree of these points were itnanimously decided by the Court in favor of the College. The Visitors and Governors then, believing that their predecessors in 1833 had transcended their powers, and relying upon that provision of the charter which declares that "in case at any time hereafter through oveTsight or otherwise-any ordinance should be made by the Visitors and Governors contrary to the tenor of this charter-it should be null and void," brought suit to recoveT the withheld appropriation, but the Court held that the Visitors and QovernoTs could not avoid the release given in 1833, and the suit was decided against them. Without resorting to the Court of final appeal, the Supreme Court of the United States, the Visitors and Governors addressed a memoTial to the Legislature in 1866, in response to which that body restored the aITearages of the annuity of $3,000, suspended from '61 to '66, and appropiiatecl an additional sum of $12,000 per annum for five years, from 1st June, 1868. With this restored annuity, the buildings which had been occupied as a hospital during the late war, were put in thorough repair, and DT. Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, late Commissioner of Education, was elected l'rincipal, by whom the College was reopened in September, 1866. On his resignation the following summer, Dr. James C. Welling, now Professor of Belles Lettres in the College of New Jersey, was chosen Principal, and the College opened the following autumn with 115 students. Before the close of the next session the BoaTd of Visitors and Governors, in anticipation of the increa~ed annuity, passed an ordinance esta.blishing. one liitndred and .fifty State sclwllt1'Bltips, each scholarship entitling the holder to "exemption from the payment of room-rent and tuition fees in . any department of St. John's College." The Board also entrusted the privilege of making these appointments to the Boards of School Commissioners in the several Counties, and placed the charge for board, fuel, lights and washing at as low a rate as they could possibly be furnished. Soon after the close of this session, in August, 1868, an earnest "Appeal to the people of �24 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. -----~--------·------- --- --------- -- Maryland" was issued liy the Board, reciting liriefiy the history of the College, the efforts made to olitain a restorntion uf the annuity and their result, the recent est:1blishment of this system of State scholtuships, and the extraordinary advantages thus presented to the youth uf Maryland for obtaining a liberal education, and appealing for support to the people at large. 'rhe following session opened with a much larger m1mber of sLudents, and the College has for the p:1st four years educated on an average more than 160 students each year, liut several vacaneies have still existed in the number of State scholarnhips, and the people of the State do not seem to have heartily embraced these advantages, greater, we firmly lielieve, than those afforded liy any literary Institution in the United Sti1tes. This appeal failed, however, to elicit contributions of money, books, or appa.rntus, which were requested, and a similar appeal issued by the Board in Novemlier, 1870, met with a similar response. 'rhe interest of the people uf the State does not seem to have been awakened in St. John's College, and they have not regarded it as their first literary Institution, and taken pride in supporting and developing it. It is lielievecl that St. Joh n's College has claims to lie su regarded, ancl deserves the patronage and liberal support of the people of Maryland. In the present sketch may lie seen some account of the tanly and yet insufficient justice, which it has met with at the hands of the Ll;gi;;lature, and notwithstanding this, in the Catalogue prefixed is exhibited the position to which it has attained by the rnlief afforded. A full Collegiate course, taught by competent instructors, has been organized, and a senior class is enrolled this session for the first time in ten years. It is nu reproach to the College that it has not clone more, but it is rather surprising that it has done so much, for after the close of the late war, it ·was necessary to build it up anew from the very beginning. 'rhe College still has, however, many wants to lie supplied, vd1ich cannot be met liy the State appropriation. It needs money iur mlditi01rnl Prolessors' houses, for the endowment uf <1clc1itional profossornhips, especially another scientific professorship, in order to develop and extend its scientific course, for the endowment of scholarships as prizes of a noble ambition, for improvement of its liuilclings <md groumls, and last, but by i10 means least, for its Library, C<-iliinet, and Philosophical Apparatus. 'l'he Uollegc was founded, in part, by subscriptions; this method of raising money was recommended liy the I,cgislature itself in 1833, and successfully adoptell, and it is now proposed to make no longer a paper appeal, as these have been tried and failed, but a personal a.ppeal through the Principal and Vice-l)rincipal to the friends of education in the State. It is hoped tlrnt the above sketch will suffice to interest ancl inform them tis to the grournls on ;\·hich the Uollegl~ asks for their support, and that it may nut ask iu vain. The substantial basis of a first-cllts.s literary Institution is here, and it needs liut money, ancl time for its development, to speedily attain this position. .i'\faryland has long neccled such an Institution, and has now the uppmtunity, at comparatively slight expense, of creating it. Let then each parent lint determine, if he can clo no more, at least to send his sons to St. J olm's College, where they can be educated at much less east than at any similar fostitution outsille of the Jinnts of the State; and let those who are able, contribute liliernlly to its support, and it will soon attain a position of w hieh the tltate at large nrny be lJroml, and remove the Jong-standing reproach, that the sous of Maryland must ue sent beyond her borders to obtain their education. /( I I 1.\ I I _ I- - - - - - - - ·--- ---~-- ~-- - - - -- • '.< � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not study either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and German. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Class. The studies of students of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classics, will be so arranged that their time will be fu11y occupied. Students of the regular Academic Conrse are required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years. For classical students below the Junior Class, the lfrench and German languages, and the course in Book-Keepin~, are elective studies. Apparatus for Gymnastic exercises has been recently erected, and regular hours of exercise assigned for each class. The use of the Gymnasium is granted on payment of a small fee.

PRINCIPAL. The departments of History and the English Language and Literature, and of Natural Science, having been recently reorganized, the following outline of the courses in these departments is appended: DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, AND LITERATURE. In this department instruction will be given1st. IN HrnToRY.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman history is believed to be the basis of all historical study, and these will first be carefully learned. This will be followed· with a general outline of history, after Gibbon, from the accession of Oommodus to the fall of Constantinople. After this the history of the Middle Ages will occupy the attention of the student, which will be succeeded by as extended a notice of modern European and American history as the limited time will permit. During the latter portion of the course, lectures on Modern History will be delivered. 2d. IN 'l'HE ENGLISH .AND ANGLO-SAXON LANGUAGES AND THEIR LrTERATURE.-Under this head the art of Composition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written composition and declamation, and a thorough analysis . of the grammatical strncture·of the language. The history of English literature will then be taken up, and the lives of authors studied in connection with specimens of their writings, which will be criticised in class. After this the English of the Elizabethan age will be made a subject of study, and the most marked points of difference between Elizabethan and modern English noted and commented on. Finally, the Anglo2 �18 Circular of St. John's College. Circular of St. John's College. Saxon language will be carefully studied, and in connection with it lectures delivered on the origin and histOTy of the English language, and lectures introductory to the Comparative Grammar of the Teutonic languages, an outline being given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and sub-divisions of the Inda-European family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, aft0r manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtius, of Leipzig. 5th. MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY-of which sciences a general survey will be taken after completion of the course in Physics and Chemistry. As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. In the course above sketched the Professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generalize, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively from principles to facts; second, to impart such knowledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess; third, to make it suffieiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation., The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the laboratory and cabinet as complete as possible. ContributiO'ns for illustration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfully received. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. In this de]:Jartment instruction will be givenlst. IN ZooLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organ<; which, variously modified, pervade the genera, classes, families and branches, in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy and physiology. 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods, &c. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and equilibrium, and the application of these, first, to the action and reaction of masses-solid, liquid, and gaseous-embracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatfrs; second, of molecules, el)'.l bracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces embracing "the correlation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity, and light, in their chemical relations; a description of the elements and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separa- · tion, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these arc explained; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded, the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. 19 POST-GRADUATE COURSE OF STUDIES. The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or elsewhere, is assigned by thfl Faculty to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. This course will.relate mainly to open questions in all departments of physical, literary, philological, or speculative inquiry, and theses in each will be prescribed to candidates according to the current aspects of science and investigation in the most interesting branches of human study and thought. In the assignment of such theses regard will also be had to the favorite studies of the individual candidate, that the spirit of original inquiry in each may be duly encouraged.

EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. Written examinations on the studies of the entire term are . I held at the close of each term. The marks for these examina- I tions are combined with the marks for daily rncitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. .A student deficient in knowledge or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in that study. .A merit-roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a higher class, each student must obtain an average of at least 2.5 each on his recitations and on his examinations for the .Academic year. Demerits will be given for absence and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of .the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. Each student is required to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a n;i.ember of it, and whenever any student can no longer cheerfully comply with College rules, he will be required to leave the Ins.titution. All students are required to be present promptly on the opening day of the session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while College exercises are going on, except in case of urgent necessity, and at tlie written request of his parent or guardian. The attention of parents and guardians • is specially called to these regulations, and their co-operation earnestly requested. .

LIBRARY. The Library of the College consists of about 4,000 volumes, the use of which is permitted to the students under certain regulations. Through the liberality of the Legislature of 1872, and donations from the Classes of '71, '72 and '73, large additions have been made to the Library; and, by means of the regular Library fees, subscriptions have been made to a large number of American and foreign periodicals. A complete library being an indispensable auxiliary tQ the intellectual advancement of Professors and students, the claims of the College Library are commended to the Alumni of the College, and to the LITERARY SOCIETIES. There are two Literary Societies (the Philokalian and the Philomathean) among the students, which afford opportunities for the cultivation of composition and debate. An oration is usually delivered before these Societies on the day preceding Commencement Day, by some gentleman selected by them. SOCIETY OF ALUMNI. The Society of Alumni h<3lds its annual meetings on Commencement Day, on which occasion an oration is delivered by one of its mern hers. All former students who have completed their collegiate education at St. John's College, and left in good standing, are c·onsidered members of this Society. It numbers on its roll many names prominent in the history of the State. PUBLIC WORSHIP. I 1 . The exercises of each day are opened with prayer in the College Hall. All students are required to attend public worship on Sundays at such church as their parents or guardians may direct, and to abstain from whatever is inconsistent with a due observance of the Sabbath. The principles and duties of the Christian Religion will be constantly enforced in the teaching and in the discipline of the College, but no instruction whatever is given, or influence exerted, in the interest of any particular 1lenomination of Christians. TERMS AND VACATIONS. The Annual Commencement of the College takes place on the first Wednesday in July. The College year begins on the third Monday in September and ends on the first Wednesday in July. The year is divided into two equal terms. The regular vacations extend from the first Wednesday in July to the third Monday in September; and from the 23d of December to the first Monday in January. The 22d of Feb- �Circular of St. John's College.

Wilful damage will be made the ground of additional charge to be defrayed by the perpetrator. EXPENSES. The charge for the entire scholastic year, beginning on the thifd Monday in September, and ending on the first Wednesday in July, is STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR TUITION. $275.00 This amount covers all the ordinary College expenses except for text-books, and must be invariably paid semi-annually in advance, that is $137.50 at the opening of the first term in Septamber, and $137.50 at the opening of the second term, on the 15th of February following. No deduction will be made, except for protracted absence caused by sickness. Students not holding Scholarships which entitle them to both board and tuition free, are required to furnish their own rooms. Board at special rates, in clubs, may be had on terms arranged between parents and the manager of the boarding department. The boarding-house will be closed during the Christmas and Summer vacations. Books and stationery will be furnished at the lowest possible rates, and disbursements made for personal expenses of students, if funds shall be deposited by parents for this purpose, but no advances will be made by the College. The tuition fees of students who reside in Annapolis are as follows: In the Preparatory Department, for each term, payable in advance $30.00 In the Collegiate Department, for each term, payable in advance · 45.00 The extra charges are as follows: Seat in Church, per term 1.50 Library Fee 5.00 Use of Gymnasium 3.00 Diploma of Proficient, at graduation 5.00 Diploma of Bachelor of Arts, at graduation 10.00 A deposit of $5 is made at the opening of each year by stu- A system of one liundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College from the State. Each of these scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of the room rent ar:d tuition fees if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or Colles;e. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State, is entitled to six of these scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In. addition to tuition and room rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights, washing, and text-books,) to all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $200 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. Books furnished to the holder of a State Scholarship, if damaged or lost, will be charged to him at their full cost. · In order to secure greater efficiency to the College and a 1. higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive examinations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Bepartment of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. 1 �z6 Circular of St. John's College. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. The general Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. 393) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights, and washing, to two of the six incumbents of State Scholarships for tuition from each Senatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, after competitive examination. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required to give bond and security in the sum of $750 that they will teach school within the State for not less than two years after leaving College. To obtain a full Collegiate education, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at lm1st the Freshman Class of the College, although, if no candidates sufficiently well-prepared present themselves, they will be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient in preparation. These Scholarships are now all filled. At the close of the present session there will be one vacancy from each of th.e counties of Anne Arundel, Cecil, Prince George's, Garrett and Queen Anne's. COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College : For a permanent Scholarship for· tuition, $1000. For a· permanent Scholarship for board and tuition, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship for the board and tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $800. For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be in the same proportion, the money in each case to be paid in advance into the treasury of the College. The establishment of these Scholarships is earnestly commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College. TO THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND. In sending out the Catalogue of the Ninth Session since the reorganization of ST. JoHN'S COLLEGE, the Faculty would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland the advantages presented by the College for the attainment of a thorough and liberal education. The location of the College makes it easy of access from all portions of the State and its situation has been often commented on as peculiarly suitable for a Literary Institution. The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and the Course of Study will challenge comparison with that of most first-class Colleges in the land. The effort is constantly made to raise the grade and improve the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to those of Colleges elsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872, has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosophical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific study have been greatly increased. Especially noticeable artl the extremely low terms charged [two hundred and seventy-five dollars] for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-terms· much less than those of Colleges in other States,' and altogether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted by the State. In return for this assistance, when it was :first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and :fifty scholarships, (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling the holders, appointed by the Board of School Commissioners of the District, to exemption from payment of fees for tuition, room-rent and use of text-books-thus limiting the charge for board, fuel, lights, and washing, for these students to two hundred dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature of 1872, for making :fifty of the scholarships (two from each Senatorial District) free of all charge for board, fuel, lights, and washing, under certain conditions specified in the 'preceding Circular. · These are the great advantages which the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to the well-known Coileges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, and which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any Institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all wa,nt. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost? �CALENDAR_ 1875.

Each new student is assigned to a member of the faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should c.all upon his Adviser freely for a.ss.istance at any time. In: assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student shoulci g-ive as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then as- 1.· 43 Deans.

In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and for physical training. The student's o·ther courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all nerw students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English 1, will be required to register for an addttional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the encl of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. Physical Training Requirements. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These should be completed during the first two years of college work. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses needed for promotion to ·the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from his Dean.

Final examinations for full courses, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as, follows: A, Excellent; B, Very good; 0, Satisfactory; 'D, Passing, but unsatisfactory; F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed. to F in case. the work is not completed within the following prescribed periods: at mid-years, within four weeks; at finals, within the · :first six weeks of the following academic year. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student muet maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion to the next higher class, or in the case of a Senior, to the degree. The Rank List. After the mid-year examinations and after the final examina- · tions each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Rank List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half~year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except those men whose requirement fur the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow: ,. ' Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of c (with d in best four courses). no gra es of D mately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final ex- Reports. Reports are sent to each student, to his parents, and to his Adviser after each grade period; that is, after the November hour-examinations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of t)le school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. 47 ''' !.- : The Deans' List. The D~arn~' List consists of the names of all students who have attamed places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men?~ ~he Deans'.

Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may brino· about the removal of any man's name from the Deans' Lis; Any ma~ on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because ~f Unsatisfactory Scholarship. . A student wh<? fails to make at mid-years a record which if it were fi~al, would entitle him to promotion, may be pla~ed ·~n probation and warned by his Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be clos.ed. A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November .ho1~r-examinations ordinarily is warned by his Dean.

I~ controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. .A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a varsity or Freshman team. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Dis.cipline. A student may be placed on probation for failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. Repeating Courses., A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English 1 but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior year, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the class Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. 49 J j } 1y.

DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees "with honor" and "with distinction". Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have ptusued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent o;f regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree "with honor" or "cum honore" are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time bef()re the end of the Junior year, make application to his Dean for acceptance as a c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or ~urmg one of them, accomplish special work in his major subJect, the type and amount, of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. d. H~ shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, ?ther members of the Faculty, and a't least one visiting exam1ne-r. Degrees with Distinction. A degree "with distinction" or "cum laude" will be granted to any student who has clone especially good work in all the cou~ses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must . durmg a regularly required residence in the College, obtai~ ' an average of 85 or above.* Degrees "with great distinction " ' ?r " magna cum 1au de, " w1·11 be granted by vote of the Faculty m rare cases to altogether exceptional students.

JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establish~ ment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract : . CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. :l. fol. 115. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors and generous Offers for the Propagation of Christianity and good Learning, herein we become humble Suitors to your most sacred Majesty, to extend your Royal Grace and Favour to us your Majesty's Subjects of this Province, represented in this your Majesty's General Assembly thereof, THAT IT MAY BE ENACTED, II. AND MAY IT BE ENACTED, by the King's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the same, That for the propagation of the gospel, and the education of the youth of this province in good letters and manners, that a certain place or places, for a free-school, or place of study of Latin, Greek, writing, and the like, consisting of one master, one usher, and one writing-master, or scribe, to a school, and one hundred scholars, more or less, according to the ability of the said freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend · father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of all England, may be chancellor of the said school ; and· that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it may be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominated, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July I-9, I696: CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. WHEREAS, Institutions for 'the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States: II. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary honors of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend ; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religious profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the " Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE President Washington visited the College in 1791. After hi& visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. · The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard toward myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VV'ASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. .I He gave further evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a member of the class of 1799· In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among the petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17¢, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in l8II. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis,"· writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery, and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will :ender him useful and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the ' greatest chance of professional improvement." . During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he r~organi.zed th~ College to ~eet changed conditions. The years smce his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administrat~on of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now Presi~ent Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service the Coll_ege. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Ementus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; Willia~ Rafferty, 1824-1831 · Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-~861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling, 1867-1870; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1929; and Douglas Huntly Gordon, 1931-1934. :o �22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, the colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped in Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in l9II to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. College Buildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, where, in 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, prints, photographs, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation in 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room; lounge, in which the daily papers and selected magazines are provided; the quiet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table, and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the necessities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College Avenue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Woodward Hall, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses approximately thirty-two thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Benjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are two hospital wards, an isolation ward and a dispensary, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on St. John's Street. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 19rn, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on the College Green, Pinkney Hall ( 1855) and Randall Hall ( 1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. 24 The Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to King 25 Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require the bachelor's degree for admission. They expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special requirements. Engineering. The advisers of students intending to study engineering will plan programs of study covering the groundwork which leads to all branches of the profession. As many non-technical courses as possible will be recommended, for leading engineers consider that it is unwise to work entirely in subjects of a professional character until general study has so broadened a student's �26 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE views that he has an outlook valuable in itself as well as in assisting him to make a thoughtful choice of his precise field of technical work. Law. Students who are planning to study law are advised to diversify their studies as much as possible. It has been said by a prominent educator, that no law student can afford to ignore economics, government, psychology, the methods of the natural sciences, or English and American history. Courses in history and government are recommended as especially helpful. A thorough training in the expression of ideas in the English language is considered to be indispensable. The connection between other courses in the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and particular branches of the law will be pointed out to students oy their Advisers. Business Administration. Students preparing to enter business, with or without training at graduate schools of business administration, should take work in the field of economics. Courses in economics will be of aid in the years of business apprenticeship, and should help to create that broad point of view expected of the business executive. Church Attendance. The College encourages, but does not compel, attendance at church. There are six churches and one synagogue in Annapolis, all of which invite attendance by students. The churches and their respective pastors are as follows: St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal, the Rev. Dr. Edward D. Johnson; Calvary Methodist Episcopal, the Rev. E. Cranston Riggin; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. Roger I. Berghauser; Fii-st Presbyterian, the Rev. Dr. James J. Coale; St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran, the Rev. Harry G. Yaggi; St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist Fathers), the Rev. Francis Gallagher, C.SS.R. ; Kenesth Israel Synagogue, Rabbi Morris E. Gordon. Chapel services are conducted in the Great Hall of the College on Tuesday of each week. Lectures and Concerts. A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually in McDowell Hall. Although CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 27 they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1935-36 included Sir Herbert Ames on " The League of Nations and the Abyssinian Dispute " and Antonio Cuturi Italian Consul in Baltimore, on " Historical Aspects of the Italo-Ethiopian Question." Lectures given under the auspices of the various departmental and student clubs were also open to all members of the College. A piano recital was presented by Austin Conradi; George and Elizabeth Bolek gave a joint voice and piano recital. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund of the St. John's Faculty, inaugurating a series of Sunday evening musicales, presented a piano recital. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, Faculty, Faculty wives and friends of the College find a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1935-36, six lectures were giventwo by members of the St. John's College Faculty, and four by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Dr. F. W. Appel, Associate Professor of Biology, St. John's College, "The Rise and Fall of Population"; Dr. Kent Roberts Greenfield, Professor of Modern European History, Johns Hopkins University, "Italy in Browning"; Dr. Joseph T. Singewald, Professor of Geology, Johns Hopkins University, "From Cape Town to Cairo" (illustrated) ; Dr. Katherine Jeanne Gallagher, Professor of History, Goucher College, " Some Recent Phases of International Politics " ; Mr. C. R. Walther Thomas, United States Naval Academy, " National Socialism in Germany"; Dr. Ford K. Brown, Professor of English, St. John's College, "Paradise Lost". �l 28 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Student Activities. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. Student Council. In matters not related to the curriculum the College grants the students a large measure of self-government. All questions arising under this arrangement are referred to the Student Council. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1936-37 are: Ernest Neal Cory, Jr., '37, President; James Harrison Rowe, '38, Secretary. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedules are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book, The. RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control. Fraternities.

Application for ad·mission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeOIY in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of persons who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principaJ of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in !?ecuring the proper .credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for (I) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a secondary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the "Summary of Subjects Which May be Offered for Admission". Admission by Certificate. Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records. cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �32 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the "on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing.

Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. CATALOGUE OF ST, JOHN'S COLLEGE 35 PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See " Admission ". Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at. the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue deii.ling with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $15. This fee is due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admittirig and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. Annual Fees.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 1928. The resolution of the Board as amended at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Resolved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall ·be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their cour~e, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4. That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure. of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6. That this resolution shall become operative and go into effect immediately upon its passage, and that announcement of the existence of the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College, and the conditions of their award and tenure shall be made in all future catalogues of the college.

Any student who has been the object of such disciplinary action may appeal to the Dean for a change in the action taken. The College reserves the right to repair completely, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room, if any tacks have been driven into the walls, or. if any matter has been pasted upon the walls, or if the walls are damaged in any other way. Dining Hall. · The dining hall may be closed at any time when College is not in session, except for a holiday of only one day. Only breakfast and luncheon will be served on the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving recess and only supper on the Sunday preceding the resumption of classes after Thanksgiving. Only breakfast will be served on the morning of the first day of the Christmas recess, and only supper will be served on the day just preceding the resumption of classes. A similar schedule will be maintained before and after the Easter' recess. 49 III. SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS Advisers. Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and .who enforces the general regulations of the College. Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register· at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �so CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses rieeded for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students rnay drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, no course may be dropped after March r. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the .requirements for promotion are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises 1s required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These. should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. �52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Excused Absences. Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under " Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full cour~es, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent ; B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory;, F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the · first six weeks of the folfowing academic year. Reports. Reports are sent to each student, to his parents, ·and to his Adviser after each grade period; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. The Rank List. After the mid-year examinations and after the final examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Rank List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except tho_se men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses). Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the rem~val of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion, may'be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �CATALOGUE 9F ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. 1 A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. 54 Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactorv record is then achieved. 55 Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior ye~r, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Students who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE A student entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, must pass seventeen (17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least eleven ( 11) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the foreign language requirement and the requirements of his major department. He must also secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). �si CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE A student entering St. John's before September, 1935, must pass seventeen (17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the requirements of his major department and secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). a written examination to be given each semester by a special committee, or by passing with a grade of C or better any advanced language course.* In addition to the language requirement prescribed for the degree, some major departments have language requirem~nts. Since the student does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. 56 Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3· Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution.

In addition to the above, elective courses sufficient to make a tot~l. of seventeen courses,* exclusive of hygi~ne and physical trammg. 7. The course in hygiene, and two full courses or the equivalent in physical training. Courses for Distribution. All courses offered are grouped in three Divisions : (I) The Division of Languages, Literature, and Art, (2) the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and (3) the Division of the Sciences and Mathematics. The student's major subject falls in one of these three divisions. The student must pass three courses divided between the other two divisions, in not less than two departments which are not represented by courses taken or to be taken in fulfillment of the requirements of the major. Unless the student has passed in his preparatory school a course in laboratory science approved by the College, he must pass at least one coUege course in a laboratory science. Major Courses Counting for Distribution. No course taken to satisfy the requirements of the major may be used for distribution unless the major includes more than six full courses. Major Courses. At the end of his Freshman year each student is required to designate his major subject. An instructor in that subject is assigned as his Adviser for the rest of his College course. Each student is required to plan, with his Adviser, a tentative program for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, including all of the · courses required for the chosen major. It is advisable for the student to take in the Sophomore year any elementary courses which are required. V. REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJORS Biology. Four full laboratory courses (or their equivalent) in biology. Some work in each of the basic branches of the subject, such as ecology, physiology, embryology, morphology, and genetics, is advised.

See Romance Languages. General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive Examinations. In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for comprehensive examinations in the major fields of the Classics, Economics, English, Romance Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Social Sciences, and.in lieu thereof, beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the completion of twenty courses with grades of C or 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE higher in thirteen of them, the majors being in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in. each of the four years. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order· to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees" with honor" and " with distinction ". Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree " with honor" or " cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A = 100-90, B = Sg-80, C = 79-70, and D=69-6o. 65 Degrees with Distinction. A degree " with distinction " or " cum laude " will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must, ·during a regularly required residence in the College, obtain an average of 85 or above.* Degrees " with great distinction,'' or .. magna cum laude,'' will be granted by vote of the Faculty in rare cases to altogether exceptional students. A student may win a degree both " with disti~ction " in general studies and" with honor" in his major subject. �66 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE * Art SO.

JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establish~ ment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract : . CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. :l. fol. 115. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors and generous Offers for the Propagation of Christianity and good Learning, herein we become humble Suitors to your most sacred Majesty, to extend your Royal Grace and Favour to us your Majesty's Subjects of this Province, represented in this your Majesty's General Assembly thereof, THAT IT MAY BE ENACTED, II. AND MAY IT BE ENACTED, by the King's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the same, That for the propagation of the gospel, and the education of the youth of this province in good letters and manners, that a certain place or places, for a free-school, or place of study of Latin, Greek, writing, and the like, consisting of one master, one usher, and one writing-master, or scribe, to a school, and one hundred scholars, more or less, according to the ability of the said freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend · father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of all England, may be chancellor of the said school ; and· that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it may be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominated, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July I-9, I696: CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. WHEREAS, Institutions for 'the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States: II. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary honors of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend ; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religious profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the " Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE President Washington visited the College in 1791. After hi& visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. · The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard toward myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VV'ASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. .I He gave further evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a member of the class of 1799· In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among the petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17¢, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in l8II. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis,"· writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery, and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will :ender him useful and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the ' greatest chance of professional improvement." . During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he r~organi.zed th~ College to ~eet changed conditions. The years smce his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administrat~on of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now Presi~ent Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service the Coll_ege. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Ementus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; Willia~ Rafferty, 1824-1831 · Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-~861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.)

JOHN'S COLLEGE THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, the colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped in Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in l9II to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. College Buildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, where, in 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, prints, photographs, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation in 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room; lounge, in which the daily papers and selected magazines are provided; the quiet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table, and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the necessities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College Avenue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Woodward Hall, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses approximately thirty-two thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Benjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are two hospital wards, an isolation ward and a dispensary, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on St. John's Street. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 19rn, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on the College Green, Pinkney Hall ( 1855) and Randall Hall ( 1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. 24 The Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to King 25 Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require the bachelor's degree for admission. They expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special requirements. Engineering. The advisers of students intending to study engineering will plan programs of study covering the groundwork which leads to all branches of the profession. As many non-technical courses as possible will be recommended, for leading engineers consider that it is unwise to work entirely in subjects of a professional character until general study has so broadened a student's �26 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE views that he has an outlook valuable in itself as well as in assisting him to make a thoughtful choice of his precise field of technical work. Law. Students who are planning to study law are advised to diversify their studies as much as possible. It has been said by a prominent educator, that no law student can afford to ignore economics, government, psychology, the methods of the natural sciences, or English and American history. Courses in history and government are recommended as especially helpful. A thorough training in the expression of ideas in the English language is considered to be indispensable.

It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principaJ of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in !?ecuring the proper .credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for (I) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a secondary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the "Summary of Subjects Which May be Offered for Admission". Admission by Certificate. Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records. cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �32 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at. the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue deii.ling with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $15. This fee is due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admittirig and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. Annual Fees.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 1928. The resolution of the Board as amended at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Resolved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall ·be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their cour~e, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4. That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure. of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6. That this resolution shall become operative and go into effect immediately upon its passage, and that announcement of the existence of the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College, and the conditions of their award and tenure shall be made in all future catalogues of the college.

JOHN'S COLLEGE 47 GENERAL REGULATIONS The regulations and provisions contained in this Catalogue and constituting the basis for the governance of the College are subject at all times to the right of the Visitors and Governors and to the right of the Faculty to repeal, change, or add to any of them. I. HONOR REGULATIONS St. John's College aims to develop in its students a sense of responsibility to the community as well as a high standard of scholarship. To this end student self-government is encouraged. Each student is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman. Any student who is guilty of any dishonesty will be required tn withdraw from the College. The Student Council cooperates with the Dean of the College in enforcing the .honor regulations. The Student Council has power, accordingly, to take disciplinary action in any case of misconduct by any student. Any student who is unable to cooperate with the Student Council may be required to withdraw from the College. II. RESIDENCE REGULATIONS All students not living with parents or guardians are required to live in College buildings and to take their meals in the College dining hall. Occupancy of Rooms. Rooms in the halls of residence may not be occupied before noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College except in the case of men who are returning to College early with the permission of the President. Rooms in the halls of residence may not be occupied during the Christmas or the Easter recess. Assignment of Rooms. Before May first of each year the student may, if he wi~hes, indicate his desire concerning his rooming arrangement for the next year. For this purpose application blanks will be distributed by the Auditor's Office. Men who wish to room together must file their applications concurrently. Assignments are usually announced before May fifteenth. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Change of Rooms. No student living in the dormitories may change his room except with the approval of the room-assignment officer. Infirmary Service. Any illness must be reported to the Infirmary promptly by the student. Students suffering from contagious or infectious diseases must reside in the Infirmary until discharged by the College Physician, or until sent home. The College Physician maintains office hours each day at the Infirmary. During these hours his services are available without charge, since a medical fee covering this service is paid by all students. 48 College Rules for Dormitories. r. No radios, victrolas, or other instruments may be played, nor may any loud noise be made, in the College dormitories after 7: 00 p. m. (Saturdays, 11: 30 p. m.). Band instruments may be played in the dormitories only between 2 : oo p. m. and the time when supper is served in the College dining room. 2. Intentional damage to College property is a serious offense against discipline, and is forbidden. 3. Any damage to College property will be charged to the occupant or occupants of the room, or to the occupants of the hall, in which the damage occurs, or to any person or persons whom the dormitory committee or the Student Council shall determine to have been responsible therefor. 4. The Student Council shall directly and through the dormitory committees enforce the above rules by disciplinary action taken at executive meetings to be attended only by those summoned by the Council. Such action shall be announced concurrently by the Student Council and by the College Office. 5. Any student who has been the object of such disciplinary action may appeal to the Dean for a change in the action taken. The College reserves the right to repair completely, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room, if any tacks have been driven into the walls, or. if any matter has been pasted upon the walls, or if the walls are damaged in any other way.

Only breakfast will be served on the morning of the first day of the Christmas recess, and only supper will be served on the day just preceding the resumption of classes. A similar schedule will be maintained before and after the Easter' recess. 49 III. SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS Advisers. Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and .who enforces the general regulations of the College. Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register· at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �so CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses rieeded for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students rnay drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, no course may be dropped after March r. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the .requirements for promotion are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises 1s required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These. should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. �52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Excused Absences. Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under " Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full cour~es, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent ; B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory;, F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the · first six weeks of the folfowing academic year. Reports. Reports are sent to each student, to his parents, ·and to his Adviser after each grade period; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. The Rank List. After the mid-year examinations and after the final examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Rank List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except tho_se men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses). Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the rem~val of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion, may'be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �CATALOGUE 9F ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. 1 A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. 54 Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactorv record is then achieved. 55 Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior ye~r, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Students who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV.

Since the student does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. 56 Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3· Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution.

All courses offered are grouped in three Divisions : (I) The Division of Languages, Literature, and Art, (2) the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and (3) the Division of the Sciences and Mathematics. The student's major subject falls in one of these three divisions. The student must pass three courses divided between the other two divisions, in not less than two departments which are not represented by courses taken or to be taken in fulfillment of the requirements of the major. Unless the student has passed in his preparatory school a course in laboratory science approved by the College, he must pass at least one coUege course in a laboratory science. Major Courses Counting for Distribution. No course taken to satisfy the requirements of the major may be used for distribution unless the major includes more than six full courses. Major Courses. At the end of his Freshman year each student is required to designate his major subject. An instructor in that subject is assigned as his Adviser for the rest of his College course. Each student is required to plan, with his Adviser, a tentative program for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, including all of the · courses required for the chosen major. It is advisable for the student to take in the Sophomore year any elementary courses which are required. V. REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJORS Biology.

See Romance Languages. General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive Examinations. In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for comprehensive examinations in the major fields of the Classics, Economics, English, Romance Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Social Sciences, and.in lieu thereof, beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the completion of twenty courses with grades of C or 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE higher in thirteen of them, the majors being in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in. each of the four years. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order· to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees" with honor" and " with distinction ". Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree " with honor" or " cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A = 100-90, B = Sg-80, C = 79-70, and D=69-6o. 65 Degrees with Distinction. A degree " with distinction " or " cum laude " will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken.

JOHN'S COLLEGE King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In I 784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. . · A SHORT HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establishment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract: CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. 2. fol. n5. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors aµd gener.ous Offers for the Propagation of Christianity and good Learnmg, herein we become humble Suitors to your most sacred Majesty, to extend your Royal Grace and Favour to us your Majesty's Subjects of this Province, represented in this your Majesty's General Assembly thereof, THAT IT MAY BE ENACTED, II. AND MAY IT BE ENACTED, by the King's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the ~ame, That for the propagation of the gospel, and the education of the youth of this province in good letters and manners, that a certain place or places, for a free-school, or place of study of Latin, Greek, writing, and the like, consisting of one master, one usher, and one writing-master, or scribe, to a school, and one hundred scholars, more or less, according to the ability of the said freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of all England, may be chancellor of the said school ; and that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it m~y be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominate~, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July z-9, z696. 19 WHEREAS, Institutions for the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States : f 1 l i ~ I IL Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary honors of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have _been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend ; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religious profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the" Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ~T. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery,_ and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will render him useful _and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the greatest chance of professional improvement." During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he reorganized the College to meet changed conditions. The years since his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administration of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now President Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service to the College. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Emeritus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; William Rafferty, 1824-1831; Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling, 1867-1870 1; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1.929; and Douglas Huntly Gordon, 1931-1934. President Washington visited the College in 1791. After his visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard toward myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VlfASHlNGTON. April 17, 1791. He gave furtheri evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a memoer of the class of 1799. In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among t_he petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17g6, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in 1811. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis," writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being 21 i �.22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATA.LOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and- the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at. St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many. reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, th.e colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped i~ Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in 191 l to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. 23 College Buildings. ·./. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The :enter portion of the first floor is occupied by tl::ie Great Hall, where, m 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. F1anking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, pri~ts, photog:ap~s, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation m 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room · l~unge, in whi.ch the daily papers and selected magazines are pro~ v1ded; the qmet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. . Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and. laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the ne~essities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College A venue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Wo~dward H~Il, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses appr~x1mately :hirty thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that alr·eady contains many valuable books. Of ': 'I '' i ! �24 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Bienjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are three hospital wards, fwct private rooms, and an isolation ward, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on College A venue. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 1910, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on fhe College Green, Pinkney Hall (1855) and Randall Hall (1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. The· Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to :King CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 25 William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of. Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which . a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program has been arranged for students who wish to go into medicine. This program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. Admission may be gained to some schools of medicine on the basis of the two-year course. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require more than the accepted minimum : they expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. The best medical schools require the bachelor's degree for admission. St. John's students are strongly urged to spend at least three and preferably four years in preparation since, in four years, they can secure a thorough training which will fit them for entrance into any medical school in the United States. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually, in McDowell Hall. Although they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1934-35 included Dr. R. T. H. Halsey on "Mount Vernon As Washington Knew It"; General John Philip Hill, "The Constitution: Protecto.r of Life, Liberty, and Property"; Dr. N. Bryllion Fagin, "Modern Tendencies in American Drama"; and Dr. Leonard B. White, "Civil Service As A Career for College Men." Piano recitals were presented by ·Austin Conradi and Amos Allen. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund, of the St. John's faculty, and Joseph M. Florestano, a recent St. John's graduate, gave an evening of piano and vocal music. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, faculty, faculty wives and friends of the College find 'a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1934-35, eleven lectures were given-five by members of the St. John's faculty and six by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Professor C. W. Stryker, " Old Maps and Ships "; Dr. .Ford K. Brown, "Victorianism before Victoria"; Dr. Richard Kuehnemund, "The Development of the Faust Legend"; Dr. Frederic Nelson, of the editorial staff of the Baltimore Sun, "Survival of Liberty"; Dr. Knight Dunlap, Professor of, Psychology at the Johns Hopkins University, " Some Phases of Psychology"; Professor John S. Kieffer, "We �, , I I 28 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 29 Aryans"; President A. W.W. Woodcock," The Law of the Freedom of Speech"; Dr. Paul Homan, of the Brookings Institution, "The Future of the N.R.A."; Dean Douglas L. Howard, "The Influence of Japan in the Far East"; Mrs. Elizabeth Forman Lewis, "The Influence of Literature on Chinese Life"; and Mr. Melvin Hall, the Chief of the Eastern Section of the Bureau of Foreign Trade, "Adventures in the Near East." There are at St. John's four national fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha (Southern), Alpha Kappa Pi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and two local fraternities, Delta Psi Omega and the Key Society. From one-third to one-half of the students are fraternity men. Student Activities. Honorary Societies. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. Student Council. In matters not related to the curriculum the College grants the students a large measure of self-government. All questions arising under this· arrangement are referred to the Student Council. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1935-36 are: Thomas Warren Chandlee, '36, ~resi­ dent; Ralph Murray Schley, '36, Secretary. Fraternities. Delta Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, recognizes high scholarship by electing to membership those Juniors who have been in the first group of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and at mid-year of their Junior year; and those Seniors who have been in the first or second groups of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and at mid-year of their Senior year, and who have been in the first group in at least two of these periods. Delta Omicron, another honorary organization, recognizes the . student's participation in extra-curricular activities. A point systerri devised by this fraternity evaluates the worth of each position or membership held by the student. Clubs. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedu.les are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to. engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book,_ The RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control. The Osler Club, the Erlenmeyer Chemical Club, the Liberal Club, the German Club, and the French Club provide interesting programs for their members. Dramatics. A dramatic club, managed by students, offers opportunity for acquiring experience in dramatics. The King William Players presented the following plays in 1934-35: Biography, by S. N. Behrman; Children of the Moon, by Martin Flavin; and Androcles and the Lion and The Dark Lady of the Sonnets, by George Bernard Shaw. Musical Organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Adolph Torovsky, formerly a leader of the Naval Academy band, the students maintain a concert �30 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE orchestra and a band. Three concerts are given each year by the orchestra. A Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. M. Talbott Riggs, has recently been organized. 31 ADMISSION Alumni Association. The officers of the Association are Mr. Luther S. Tall, '21, President; Mr. William C. Purnell, '23, Vice-President; Mr. Max Glickman, '35, Secretary; and Mr. Robert F. Duer, Jr., ex-'22, Treasurer. The headquarters of the Association are at St. John's College. Local associations are organized throughout the country. i Routine of Admission. Application for admission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeM in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of perso1;1s who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principal of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in securing the proper credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for ( 1) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a seco1;1dary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the " Summary of Subjects Which May Be Offered for Admission." Admission by Certificate. , Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �33 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Admission by Examination. When there is doubt about the adequacy of an applicant's preparation, he may be required to take entrance examinations. Candi-. dates who present less than fifteen units of entrance credit will be required to complete the conditions for regular admission in good standing by taking appropriate examinations. Candidates whose previous schoolillg has been interrupted or irregular, candidates who desire credit for private study or for vocational subjects, and candidates who graduated from high school a number of years before seeking admission, may be required to take examinations, or may be admitted as special students, or may be admitted on trial, depending on the circumstances. Entrance examinations may be taken in June, under the College Entrance Examination Board, at any one of the many places where the Board examinations are given in the United States and abroad ; or examinations may be taken at the College in September, on the days indicated in the College Calendar. Students who expect to take the College examinations should communicate with the Registrar, who will furnish information about them. Students who expect to take the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board should make application by mail to the Secretary of that Board at 431 West rr7th Street, New York City. The Registrar of the College will be glad to help any student to arrange for either kind of examination. general average of C at the en.d of the second year,* and have completed the requirements for promotion to the Junior Class, they will be given full Junior rating and will be allowed to continue in college. Students who have graduated from an approved college may also be admitted as special students, but not as candidates for graduate degrees. 32 Admission on Trial. Occasionally St. John's College admits "on trial" a limited number of applicants whose school work has been of a standard below that required by their principals for unqualified recommendation, but who give evidence of sufficient ability and determination to do satisfactory college work. Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the" on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing. Admission as Special Students. Exceptional students who lack the requisite entrance units may be admitted as special students. If such students have attained a Summary of Subjects Which May: Be Offered for Admission. For admission in good standing t a candidate must present fifteen units of college entrance credit in the subjects listed below: English: Four years of work are required. This work counts as three units of credit. Foreign Languages: Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, German. Not fewer than two years of work (two units) and not more than four can be accepted in any one language, but up to a maximum of eight units may be accepted in foreign languages. Mathematics: In algebra one and one-half years of work (one and , one-half units) are required. An additional half-unit of advanced algebra may be accepted. In plane geometry one year of work (one unit) is required. An additional half-unit in solid geometry may be accepted. · In trigonometry no work is required but one-half unit in plane trigonometry may be accepted, and one-half unit in spherical trigonometry. Social Science: In history one year of work (one unit) is required, and as many as six units may be accepted. In civics one year of work (one-half unit) may be accepted. In " Problems of American Democracy " one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. · In economics one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. In sociology one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. *For purposes of averaging the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B 89-80, C 79-70, D 69-60. t In certain cases entrance insufficiencies may be made up after the student has entered college. Such make-up work is an entrance prescription, is stated as such at the time of admission, and i.s entered as such on the student's record. If the work done in college in fulfillment of entrance requirements may not be counted toward graduation from college, the student is so informed at the time of admission. = = = = �34 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S·COLLEGE CATALOGUE OFST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Science: Unless the student has passed in his school work at least one full year of science (one unit) in which he has himself performed the laboratory work, he will be required to elect one full science course in college. One year of work (one unit) may be accepted in biology, botany, zoology, physics, chemistry, general science, physical geography, and (in special cases) in some other science. PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See "Admission." Drawing: One year of work (one-half unit) in free-hand drawing and one year of work (one-half unit) in mechanical drawing may be accepted. Admission of Students from Other Colleges. Students who traqsfer to St. John's from other colleges and universities should file applications for admission similar to those filed by other new students. The routine of admission is the same as that followed in admitting high school graduates, but the student's college record, not his high school record, furnishes the basis for admission. Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. 35 • 1' ~- ·.~ Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home. are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in. the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $r5. This fee is ·due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admitting and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue dealing with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. Annual Fees.

Students who wish to arrange for academic costumes otherwise than through the College should notify the Office to this effect by May first. A WARDS AND AIDS Through fellowships, scholarships, assistantships, student service, and prizes, a limited number of deserving students may be aided somewhat in meeting their college expenses. SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 192R The resolution of the Board as amended. at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Re.solved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members 'of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their course, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4- That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the' Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall . be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at .

Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and . selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and who enforces the general regulations of the College. \t• Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �50 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF SJ'. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regtllar student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses needed for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry 1·he requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, -no course may be dropped after March I. · A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Two years of -physical training are required for the degree. These should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the requirements for promotion are as follows: I ' To the Sophomore Class : A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher.

No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises is required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. 52 Excused Absences. . Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under "Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full courses, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. · Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent; , B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory; F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work ·is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the first six weeks of the following academic year .. Reports. Reports are sent to each student; to his parents, and to his Adviser after each grade period ; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to 53 The Rank List. After the mid-yea1 examinations and after the fina:l examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Ran.k List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except those men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses) . Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of a:ll students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the removal of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were fina:l, would entitle him to promotion, may be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �54 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE -A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to .the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for ·failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship yvill, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. SS Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. ,., 'I Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior year, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Stiidents who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his· transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV.

Spanish. ·I. : See Romance Languages. *General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive E;xaminations. In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is .convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for compre~ hensi.ve examinations in the major fields of the Oassics, Economics, English, ~oman~e Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Social Sciences, and in lieu thereof beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the com~ 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE pletion of twenty courses with grades of C or higher in thirteen of them, the majors beirig in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in each of the four years. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees "with honor" and " with distinction." Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree "with honor" or '' cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B = 89-80, C 79-70, and D=69-60. = = 65 d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. Degrees with Distinction. A degree "with distinction" or "cum laude" will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must, during a regularly required residence in the College, obtain an average of 85 or above.* Degrees "with great distinction," or "magna cum laude," will be granted by vote of the Faculty in rare cases to altogether exceptional students. A student may win a degree both " with distinction " in general studies and" with honor" in his major subject. �66 [Art 31.

JOHN'S COLLEGE King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In I 784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. . · A SHORT HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establishment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract: CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. 2. fol. n5. Dread Sovereign . . • .

And that the most reverend father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of all England, may be chancellor of the said school ; and that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it m~y be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominate~, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July z-9, z696. 19 WHEREAS, Institutions for the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States : f 1 l i ~ I IL Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary honors of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have _been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend ; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religious profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the" Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ~T. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery,_ and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will render him useful _and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the greatest chance of professional improvement." During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he reorganized the College to meet changed conditions. The years since his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administration of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now President Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service to the College. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Emeritus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; William Rafferty, 1824-1831; Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling, 1867-1870 1; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1.929; and Douglas Huntly Gordon, 1931-1934. President Washington visited the College in 1791. After his visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard toward myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VlfASHlNGTON. April 17, 1791. He gave furtheri evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a memoer of the class of 1799. In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among t_he petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17g6, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in 1811. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis," writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being 21 i �.22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATA.LOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and- the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at. St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many. reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, th.e colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped i~ Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in 191 l to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. 23 College Buildings. ·./. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The :enter portion of the first floor is occupied by tl::ie Great Hall, where, m 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. F1anking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, pri~ts, photog:ap~s, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation m 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room · l~unge, in whi.ch the daily papers and selected magazines are pro~ v1ded; the qmet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. . Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and. laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the ne~essities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College A venue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Wo~dward H~Il, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses appr~x1mately :hirty thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that alr·eady contains many valuable books. Of ': 'I '' i ! �24 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Bienjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are three hospital wards, fwct private rooms, and an isolation ward, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on College A venue. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 1910, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on fhe College Green, Pinkney Hall (1855) and Randall Hall (1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. The· Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to :King CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 25 William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of. Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which . a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program has been arranged for students who wish to go into medicine. This program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. Admission may be gained to some schools of medicine on the basis of the two-year course. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require more than the accepted minimum : they expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. The best medical schools require the bachelor's degree for admission. St. John's students are strongly urged to spend at least three and preferably four years in preparation since, in four years, they can secure a thorough training which will fit them for entrance into any medical school in the United States. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually, in McDowell Hall. Although they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1934-35 included Dr. R. T. H. Halsey on "Mount Vernon As Washington Knew It"; General John Philip Hill, "The Constitution: Protecto.r of Life, Liberty, and Property"; Dr. N. Bryllion Fagin, "Modern Tendencies in American Drama"; and Dr. Leonard B. White, "Civil Service As A Career for College Men." Piano recitals were presented by ·Austin Conradi and Amos Allen. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund, of the St. John's faculty, and Joseph M. Florestano, a recent St. John's graduate, gave an evening of piano and vocal music. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, faculty, faculty wives and friends of the College find 'a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1934-35, eleven lectures were given-five by members of the St. John's faculty and six by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Professor C. W. Stryker, " Old Maps and Ships "; Dr. .Ford K. Brown, "Victorianism before Victoria"; Dr. Richard Kuehnemund, "The Development of the Faust Legend"; Dr. Frederic Nelson, of the editorial staff of the Baltimore Sun, "Survival of Liberty"; Dr. Knight Dunlap, Professor of, Psychology at the Johns Hopkins University, " Some Phases of Psychology"; Professor John S.

Howard, "The Influence of Japan in the Far East"; Mrs. Elizabeth Forman Lewis, "The Influence of Literature on Chinese Life"; and Mr. Melvin Hall, the Chief of the Eastern Section of the Bureau of Foreign Trade, "Adventures in the Near East." There are at St. John's four national fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha (Southern), Alpha Kappa Pi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and two local fraternities, Delta Psi Omega and the Key Society. From one-third to one-half of the students are fraternity men. Student Activities. Honorary Societies. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. Student Council. In matters not related to the curriculum the College grants the students a large measure of self-government. All questions arising under this· arrangement are referred to the Student Council. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1935-36 are: Thomas Warren Chandlee, '36, ~resi­ dent; Ralph Murray Schley, '36, Secretary. Fraternities. Delta Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, recognizes high scholarship by electing to membership those Juniors who have been in the first group of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and at mid-year of their Junior year; and those Seniors who have been in the first or second groups of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and at mid-year of their Senior year, and who have been in the first group in at least two of these periods. Delta Omicron, another honorary organization, recognizes the . student's participation in extra-curricular activities. A point systerri devised by this fraternity evaluates the worth of each position or membership held by the student. Clubs. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedu.les are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to. engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book,_ The RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control. The Osler Club, the Erlenmeyer Chemical Club, the Liberal Club, the German Club, and the French Club provide interesting programs for their members. Dramatics. A dramatic club, managed by students, offers opportunity for acquiring experience in dramatics. The King William Players presented the following plays in 1934-35: Biography, by S. N. Behrman; Children of the Moon, by Martin Flavin; and Androcles and the Lion and The Dark Lady of the Sonnets, by George Bernard Shaw. Musical Organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Adolph Torovsky, formerly a leader of the Naval Academy band, the students maintain a concert �30 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE orchestra and a band. Three concerts are given each year by the orchestra. A Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. M. Talbott Riggs, has recently been organized. 31 ADMISSION Alumni Association. The officers of the Association are Mr. Luther S. Tall, '21, President; Mr. William C. Purnell, '23, Vice-President; Mr. Max Glickman, '35, Secretary; and Mr. Robert F. Duer, Jr., ex-'22, Treasurer. The headquarters of the Association are at St. John's College. Local associations are organized throughout the country. i Routine of Admission. Application for admission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeM in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of perso1;1s who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principal of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in securing the proper credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for ( 1) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a seco1;1dary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the " Summary of Subjects Which May Be Offered for Admission." Admission by Certificate. , Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �33 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Admission by Examination. When there is doubt about the adequacy of an applicant's preparation, he may be required to take entrance examinations. Candi-. dates who present less than fifteen units of entrance credit will be required to complete the conditions for regular admission in good standing by taking appropriate examinations. Candidates whose previous schoolillg has been interrupted or irregular, candidates who desire credit for private study or for vocational subjects, and candidates who graduated from high school a number of years before seeking admission, may be required to take examinations, or may be admitted as special students, or may be admitted on trial, depending on the circumstances. Entrance examinations may be taken in June, under the College Entrance Examination Board, at any one of the many places where the Board examinations are given in the United States and abroad ; or examinations may be taken at the College in September, on the days indicated in the College Calendar. Students who expect to take the College examinations should communicate with the Registrar, who will furnish information about them. Students who expect to take the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board should make application by mail to the Secretary of that Board at 431 West rr7th Street, New York City. The Registrar of the College will be glad to help any student to arrange for either kind of examination. general average of C at the en.d of the second year,* and have completed the requirements for promotion to the Junior Class, they will be given full Junior rating and will be allowed to continue in college. Students who have graduated from an approved college may also be admitted as special students, but not as candidates for graduate degrees. 32 Admission on Trial. Occasionally St. John's College admits "on trial" a limited number of applicants whose school work has been of a standard below that required by their principals for unqualified recommendation, but who give evidence of sufficient ability and determination to do satisfactory college work. Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the" on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing. Admission as Special Students. Exceptional students who lack the requisite entrance units may be admitted as special students. If such students have attained a Summary of Subjects Which May: Be Offered for Admission. For admission in good standing t a candidate must present fifteen units of college entrance credit in the subjects listed below: English: Four years of work are required. This work counts as three units of credit. Foreign Languages: Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, German. Not fewer than two years of work (two units) and not more than four can be accepted in any one language, but up to a maximum of eight units may be accepted in foreign languages. Mathematics: In algebra one and one-half years of work (one and , one-half units) are required. An additional half-unit of advanced algebra may be accepted. In plane geometry one year of work (one unit) is required. An additional half-unit in solid geometry may be accepted. · In trigonometry no work is required but one-half unit in plane trigonometry may be accepted, and one-half unit in spherical trigonometry. Social Science: In history one year of work (one unit) is required, and as many as six units may be accepted. In civics one year of work (one-half unit) may be accepted. In " Problems of American Democracy " one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. · In economics one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. In sociology one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. *For purposes of averaging the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B 89-80, C 79-70, D 69-60. t In certain cases entrance insufficiencies may be made up after the student has entered college. Such make-up work is an entrance prescription, is stated as such at the time of admission, and i.s entered as such on the student's record. If the work done in college in fulfillment of entrance requirements may not be counted toward graduation from college, the student is so informed at the time of admission. = = = = �34 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S·COLLEGE CATALOGUE OFST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Science: Unless the student has passed in his school work at least one full year of science (one unit) in which he has himself performed the laboratory work, he will be required to elect one full science course in college. One year of work (one unit) may be accepted in biology, botany, zoology, physics, chemistry, general science, physical geography, and (in special cases) in some other science. PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See "Admission." Drawing: One year of work (one-half unit) in free-hand drawing and one year of work (one-half unit) in mechanical drawing may be accepted. Admission of Students from Other Colleges. Students who traqsfer to St. John's from other colleges and universities should file applications for admission similar to those filed by other new students. The routine of admission is the same as that followed in admitting high school graduates, but the student's college record, not his high school record, furnishes the basis for admission. Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. 35 • 1' ~- ·.~ Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home. are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in. the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $r5. This fee is ·due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 192R The resolution of the Board as amended. at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Re.solved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members 'of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their course, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4- That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the' Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall . be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at . St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �i I 40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6. That this resolution shall become operative and go into effect immediately upon its passage, and that announcement of the existence of the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College, and the conditions of their award and tenure shall be made in all future catalogues of the college.

Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and . selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and who enforces the general regulations of the College. \t• Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �50 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF SJ'. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regtllar student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses needed for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry 1·he requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, -no course may be dropped after March I. · A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Two years of -physical training are required for the degree. These should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the requirements for promotion are as follows: I ' To the Sophomore Class : A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class: A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Oass: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher.

The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises is required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. 52 Excused Absences. . Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under "Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full courses, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. · Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent; , B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory; F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work ·is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the first six weeks of the following academic year .. Reports. Reports are sent to each student; to his parents, and to his Adviser after each grade period ; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to 53 The Rank List. After the mid-yea1 examinations and after the fina:l examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Ran.k List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except those men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses) . Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of a:ll students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the removal of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were fina:l, would entitle him to promotion, may be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �54 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE -A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to .the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for ·failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship yvill, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. SS Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. ,., 'I Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior year, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Stiidents who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his· transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV.

In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is .convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for compre~ hensi.ve examinations in the major fields of the Oassics, Economics, English, ~oman~e Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Social Sciences, and in lieu thereof beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the com~ 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE pletion of twenty courses with grades of C or higher in thirteen of them, the majors beirig in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in each of the four years. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees "with honor" and " with distinction." Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree "with honor" or '' cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B = 89-80, C 79-70, and D=69-60. = = 65 d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. Degrees with Distinction. A degree "with distinction" or "cum laude" will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must, during a regularly required residence in the College, obtain an average of 85 or above.* Degrees "with great distinction," or "magna cum laude," will be granted by vote of the Faculty in rare cases to altogether exceptional students. A student may win a degree both " with distinction " in general studies and" with honor" in his major subject. �66 [Art 31.
