These elements determine the dimensions and the spirit of a college. In a series of pamphlets, St. John's College will discuss these principal elements. This one deals with the most significant and certainly the liveliest of them, the student body. The college must be small enough and coherent enough to be in a vital and dominating sense a community which will bind together all. its teachers and all its students in the .car1·ying on of their common enterprise. Alexander Meiklejohn. ��curriculum The St. John's curriculum is based on the continuous study of the great books and significant documents that form the foundation of the philosophic, literary, and scientific tradition of our civilization. This work is supported by a four-year required course of study in mathematics (which includes astronomy and theoretical physics) through elementary calculus. It is also supported by a four-year course in language in which the grammar and syntax of Greek, English, German, and French are studied carefully and in which the student learns how to translate and interpret a given text. Each student is, furthermore, required to work through a four-year laboratory course in which he performs crucial experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. In the freshman and sophomore years a music tutorial instructs the student in the elements of music. The curriculum is supplemented by Formal Lectures, given once a week, on subjects related to the program. The faculty is not departmentalized; there are no 6majors'. I i :I ' ii �St. John's College receives inquiries from prospective students all over the world. Out of the flow of applications it receives, the Admissions Office selects its limited number of freshmen. This selection is not confined to the most hrilliant. The College admits the first 110 applicants who evidence the rnaturity, intelligence and selfdiscipline needed for St.John's all-required fouryear program in the liberal arts. If one index to the quality of the College is the list of those who elect it as their choice for the single most important experience of their lives, who, then, are the incoming freshmen? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The satisfactory completion of the all-required, four-year course of study; The passing of a reading knowledge examination in two foreign languages; The passing of the Oral Enabling Examination; A senior thesis in which the skills acquired in the use of the liberal arts are demonstrated; The successful defending of the thesis in an oral examination. ��rounds: The freshman class of 1961 entered St. John's on the 261st anniversary of its founding. For contrast in growth one may compare the composition of the Class of 1942 with that of the Class of 1961: STUDENTS enter St. John's only as freshmen; no one may be admitted touppercfass standing.

Nearly all of the 107 members of the class of 1961 entered St. John's in the usualway as regu·1arly graduateg seniors from high schools or preparatory schools of the United States. All gave evidence of being able and willing to complete the required curriculum satisfactorily. 13 2 2 1 2 There are eight .veterans in the class of 1961. One analyzes his case in this tersely cogent statement: ''I will be twenty,;.five by September. It would be foolhardy on my part if l did not realize the difficult task before me; it would be more so if I did not do it." �- - \1 NOWADAYS the business of choosing a college is the business of the whole family. This is quite true of the St. John's applicants, as it should be. The kind of family, then, that selects St. John's is, in a significant way, another index to the quality of the College. Fifty-six per cent ( 60) of these families are the families of professional people; forty-four per cent ( 47) are families of business men or industrial workers. One-quarter (14) of the professional group are members of college or school faculties, including the president of a university, the dean of another, and six professors in colleges or universities. It is one thing to be selected by experienced educators; it is another thing and even more significant that highly skilled specialists-as well as their academic brothers-believe that the disciplines and the traditions of the liberal arts provide the best preparation for an interesting and a successful career. These specialists, it seems, consider undergraduate specialization premature, and therefore recommend this four-year liberal arts College for their sons and daughters. Forty-five members of the Class of 1961, or about forty-two per centJ are receiving financial aid, either through scholarships or grants. Of these, thirty-three are receiving $500 or more per year. Eleven are on full scholarships of $1,750. One-third (18) of these professional men and women are scientists, engineers, doctors of rnedicine or surgeons. Scholarships and grants total $45,011, which is about twenty-five per cent of the possible tuition income from this class. Among the twenty-odd categories in the business and industrial group only one is large enough to identify: Ten skilled mechanics sent their sons and daughters to St. John's. St. John's carries this loss in operating revenue so that no student able and willing to benefit from this liberal arts program shall be denied the opportunity. fi I I I �From the Class of 1961. "St. John's seems to pull the student into his education as an active participant, not to leave him a passive recipient of a professor's knowledge.'' "I never felt college was meant to be a vocational school on a higher level. Other colleges seem to place much stress on majors and specialization, and real learning. must surely be lost in the shuffle." "The St. John's program for education vs. training is my main interest in the college." "I don't want to be mill-processed or ground out with the essential me neglected." "This atmosphere seems to encourage intellectual curiosity." "I found I was very much in sympathy with the ideas, the methods of teaching, the small classes, the student discussions, the complete independence, and the learning from sources." "I was, I admit, somewhat skeptical, it having been my observation that college catalogues and seed catalogues exhibit a very close resemblance.'' "For a foundation that will make my life itself a liberal education." "I came to think of St. John's not so much as an institution but as an atmosphere." "I find myself exe:rc1smg sloppiness in thought and :reading, and wish to study under a system which requires study to become a more responsible thinker." "St. John's is solid enough to offer a firm starting point, and yet flexible enough to offer individuality." "[My son] is as certain as ever of his decision to apply only to St. John's and we are encouraging him in the belief that it is the best thing for him, and cannot really do much harm to such an old established institution." �AS is normal, about one-half of the group are able to identify their major interests, but have not formulated definite plans beyond graduate school. Some will await the perspective of time. Of those who have definite commitments, ten are determined to become doctors of medicine or surgeons. (It is of interest to note that in three instances the fathers of these students are themselves doctors.) Fourteen more have selected the teaching profession. Their fields will include science, English, electronics and mathematics. It is significant that one-fifth of the class enteredSt.John's as freshmen even though they had satis}actory academic standing as sophomores or higher other col[eges. They thought the St. John's experience worth this sacrifice oftime. Eight will enter law schools after graduation; seven will take graduate work in some area of writing and communication; four will aim for scientific fields. [It is the distinctive merit of the four-year liberal.arts program that its graduates, who, in the process of development and study may have reconsidered their goals, will find themselves prepared for any career,] ��THE steady increase in the number of entering freshmen: From forty-six in the Class of 1942 to one hundred seven (capacity in 1957) in the Class of 1961; THE widening spread in the geographical distribution: Nine states represented in the Class of 1942 as against twenty-three states and five foreign countries in the Class of 1961; THE willingness of twenty upperclassmen in good academic standing in other colleges to accept freshman standing at St. John's; 'fHE high percentage of professional families represented: 60; THE number of these parents who are experienced educators ( 14) and the number who are highly skilled specialists, such as scientists and doctors ( 18), as well as the number of skilled mechanics ( 10) ; THE many freshmen who plan to become specialists and to attend graduate schools: 65. Medicine ( 10), Education ( 14), Law ( 8), English ( 7 J, Science ( 4 J, other areas (22 J • �National growth and international recognition indicate that St. John's, the third oldest ( 1696) college in the United States, has changed from regional to national status. The required program of the liberal arts: matheniatics, the physical sciences, the biological sciences, the sciences of language-grammar, rhetoric and logic-and the great works of literature, is acknowledged to be good, for specialist and non-specialist alike. ��For information: Mr. James M.

JOHN'S COLLEGE IN ANNAPOLIS Teaching and Writing A measure of the literary activity at St. John's is to be found in an article by James H. Bready, reprinted here from the Baltimore Sun. The number of books which College tutors have recently published or have now in progress seems impressive when viewed in proportion to a faculty of twenty-eight. It is true, however, that St. John's College considers scholarly research to be a function of the university aml not a responsibility of the liberal arts college. Professional investigation and publication have therefore never been considered criteria for evaluating members of the faculty. As a matter of fact, the teaching duties of a St. John's tutor are so demanding and all-engrossing that there is relatively little opportunity for research and extra-curricular activity except during vacation periods. The College curriculum is such that no tutor can teach in the St. John's program without receiving the constant stimulation of new ideas and insights. Hence the usual reason for requiring scholarly activity, namely to combat staleness in faculty members, does not apply at St. John's. Faculty members do work on new translations of certain texts. In a certain sense they are also engaged in "horizontal" rather than "vertical" research, that is, the discovery of new understandings of the relationships between the several fields of knowledge, rather than the more intensive work in a specialized field. This year a small group of tutors have been engaged in a new project known as the Faculty Study Group and financed by a special grant from the Fund for the Advancement of Education, established by the Ford Foundation. Five tutors have been relieved of part of their normal teaching load to study ancient logic and modern symbolic logic and thus to increase their own understandings in a new field. In spite of the demands of the College's regular program, tutors and students still find time for extra-curricular pursuits, some of which lie beyond the scope of Mr. Bready's article. During the past winter, for example, musical compositions by Douglas Allanbrook have been performed in Baltimore, Washington and New York. These include Songs to Shakespeare's Sonnets, First String Quartet, Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra and Fantasy for Violin and Piano. RICHARD D. WEIGLE Annapolis, Maryland April, 1957 Founded as King William's School, 1696. Chartered as St. John's College, 1785 �THE SUN THE SUN, BALTIMORE, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1957 Books And Authors By JAMES H. BREADY ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE includes on its list of 'Jrescribed readings no books· by people at or from St. John's. Next September a full score of years will have gone by since the college installed its celebrated New Program or nonelective curriculum of lib· eral arts and natural s!!iences, based upon the great books of Western civilization. No student or faculty member in these twenty years would ask serious comparison of anything under his byline with major works, or portions of works, by Kepler al}d Kierkegaard, by Spinoza and Adam Smith and Sophocles. A mathematical physicist, Louis Victor, Prince de J3:ro· glie, happens to be the one living man on the current year's list of 94 authors (the titles, contrary to legend, well exceed 100) . There are, moreover, prac· tical discouragements: tutorials and labs and seminars and summer reading keep stu· dents only too occupied; for tutors, the emphasis is on teaching rather than publish· lng. Book Census Taken This much said, a book census of St. John's College is still both possible and· due. Books, great or small, have come from its colonial ( and contemp.or.ary and coeducational) campus; the compiler's real danger is inadvertehi omission. A ringing example of pro· ductivity is Victor Zucker· kandl, who, as of the current academic year, has one book out, another book at the print· er's and still a third in his typewriter. Mr. Zuckerkandl's forte is music-before coming to this country, a . refugee from Nazism, he conducted opera, took a Ph.D. in musi~ cology and philosophy from the University of Vienna, was music critic for Germany's most important newspaper chain and published two other books. Bumpy Going For Layman His "Sound and Symbol," published last fall by the Bollingen Foundation in English tran$lation, is bumpy going for a layman. It treats of music in the abstract; a ser quel, "Man the Musician," Will relate music to the indi· vidual. In between, he has written-for his first time, in English""'."" a shorter work, not yet titled, systematically in· tfoducing ~rdirtary readers to the serious aspects of music. Princeton University Press expects to bring it out next fall. Meantime, 1a pianist himself. Mf. Zuckerkimdl exem· plifies the versatility expect· ed of a St. John's tutor: he has been presiding over a course in optics. Another worl;t· of which the noncampus public may ·soon be aware ·is "The Levellers and the Origin of the Theory of Natural Rights," by Harvey Poe .. Begun during a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford and completed last fall in Annap· olis, the book brings to light a politico-religious group in Cromwell's day who, regarded then as extremist utopians, :ftrst effectively phrased var· ious principles that are now held basic to the democratic way. A look at the manuscript drew from Supreme Court Justice Black the half-humor· ous suggestion that a movie be made of the life of John Lilburne, the most gaudy sol· dier and prolific pamphleteer among the Levellers. Perhaps two· dozen tutors, from the late Charles Glenn Wallis down through J. Winfree Smith, Jr., on the pres· ent faculty, have toiled to convey the meanings of paragraphs as well as of ilidividual words. The "ean of the faculty, Jacob Klein, known to all post-1937 students as Jascha, has· been toiling to find new meanings for entire Platonic dialogues, a labor that should some day evolve into a major exegesis or work of interpretation. Tw-0 further books, to which the contrast may lend an unduly conventional sound, are "William Heytesbury - Mediaeval Logic and the Rise of l\;Iathematical Physics," pub· hshed last year by the University of Wisconsin Press, and the detailed inquiry into an early Nineteenth Century evangelical movement within the Anglican Church, led in part by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, that engages Ford K. Brown. Poet's Side Suits C.impus-Life N ot'el Other tutors have set off on more individualistic trails. Charles G. Bell, another former Rhodes scholar , and a man whose career has alternated between 'literature and physics, was a published poet before coming to Annapolis last fall; he offers strong· side suits ii} musiC and the history of art. His major current enterprise. is a cultural history of Western man, tentatively titled "Spirit Takes Form" and laid out for five. volumes. · Nothing daunted, his colleague Thomas K. Simpson <himself St. Jbl\n's '50) is at. Wi>rk upon a history· of the liberal' arts, with no commit· . 1'tent as to length. On the -other hand, Henry V. Grattan has just finished rendering into English a book by his wife, who is Fre~ch. The book, to be published by Viking, is for children. The present purpose excludes work of pedagogy long and short. having to do' with the college program. It excludes works by men who have ~ome an_d gone and put no evidence of St. John's into their subsequent writingswhile he was at St. John's creative literary impetus did not engage the current New York novelist and biographer, Charles Van Doren. The present purpose excludes women, but by no dire'ct intention-just for lack of data. A woman member of the Class of '57 turned in her senior essay recently, a compressed thing of 41 pages that maybe could become a book sometime. The title 'is "Space and Time in. Newton's Principia and Einstein;s Theory of Relativity." It'll keep an ordinary reader on his toes looking for typographical er: rors in all those equations. Not all St. John's books are •pe<:ulative-or even nonfic· tion. Joy and sorrow amid its scholastic rigors somehow ought t.o have inspired a clus· ter of campus-life riovels from former students; the only one recalled, however ( and copies are scarce at that) , is "But A Little Moment," by James C. Ballard, an episodic 500-page effort, with many noncollege settings, that appeared in 1950. One reviewer called him "a young author who will make his mark when he learns • . . to lean less heav· Hy upon his Great Books dis· cussions at St. John's." In point of quantity, far and away the greatest amount of material published is translations, of Greek and Latin and German works, ·assigned as readfo.g and previ· ously ·nonexlstent in English.

They came from seventeen states, the District of Columbia, and two foreign • 1 • �,countries: Maryland (32), ,New York (12), Ohio (6), California (4) , Connecticut (4), Pennsylvania (4), Virginia (3), Illinois (2), Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Texas, the District of Columbia, Mexico, and .. the Bahamas. Nine are veterans. The freshman class brought the total student body to 163, of whom 55 are girls. Twentytwo men are studying on the G. I. Bill. Additional states represented by upperclassmen are Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin; and there is one student from Korea. Alumni Elect Baxter and Honor Lentz at Annual Homecoming Highlights of another successful Homecoming last October were the election of William C.

Smedley, 1944. Charles W. Whayland, 1925, was elected secretary and Myron L. Wolbarsht, 1950, is treasurer. Mr. Baxter is a colonel in the Maryland National Guard, war veteran and assistant general counsel of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. Mr. Lentz was Secretary to the College's Board of Visitors and Governors and has practiced law in Baltimore for many years. The usual pleasant Maryland Fall weather prevailed, and Homecoming was a successful culmination of alumni efforts. Lunch was served in the College dining hall and the annual business meeting took place in the library. The Alumni Association gave a reception for the alumni, members of the Board of Visitors and Governors, members of the faculty and staff and senior students. Faculty wives and staff members acted as hostesses and the Great Hall provided a pleasant background for this enjoyable Paca-Carroll House Sans Wings During the Spring and Summer an extensive renovation transformed the appearance of Paca-Carroll House, once the homes of Kappa Alpha and Phi Sigma Kappa fraternities. Both old kitchen wings were demolished and new bathroom facilities installed in the basement. Other improvements included removal of partitions on the top B.oor, installation of closets and complete decoration from top to bottom. The above picture was taken from the rear of Campbell Hall across the newly paved parking lot. occasion. The reception was followed by the annual alumni dinner which was held this year at Carvel Hall. None of our recent feminine graduates appeared, so it was still a strictly male affair.

Ligon Issues Call for Annual Giving During the 1955 Annual Giving Campaign 406 alum- • 4 • President Baxter's Message A liberal arts college, like man, does not exist on b~ead alone. However, it is equally true that without bread neither academic institution nor man can exist at all. It must therefore be gratifying to all frie_nd~ of St. Jo~n' s and, in particular, to its Alumni that never m its long history has the College been so sound financially or so well ofl i? physical I?lant. Further, the future holds definite promise of contmued strengthening in these areas wh_ere for _so many y~ars there was such pitiful weakness. President F:ich_a~d W ei~le, more than any other individual or group of md1v1duals, 1s responsible for this happy condition. I~ must be apparent that under his continued leadership and with an established sound phy~­ ical base the old school will achieve new heights of academic distincti~n. Even a Weigle, however, cannot achieve thes~ goals without the full and continuing support of the Alumm . The annual giving campaign is about to st~rt: The A!um_m body can in no better way sh?w its. apprecia~10n and 1ustify its existence than by supportmg this campaign. Insure the future of the College with your contribution, no matter how modest, for in numbers there is strength. '23 President, Alumni Association WILLIAM BAXTER, ( Continued on page 6) • 5 • �(Continued from page 4) ni contributed $12,600.00, more money from more donors than in any previous yearly campaign. Over 20% of the alumni participated in the campaign this year as compared to only 10 % last year. The average gift per donor this year was $31.03. The sum contributed this year represents the income the College would have received from approximately $300,000 in fixed endowment at a 4% rate of return. This one factor serves to emphasize the importance of Annual Giving. The 19 56 Annual Giving Campaign will start in Febru- ary and I hope that each alumnus will express his confidence in his Alma Mater and at the same time show other friends of the College what St. John's alumni are doing to help. Are you willing to invest in the future of St. John's to the extent of $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00 or perhaps $50.00 a year? The amount is for you to decide, but it would be wonderful if we could get every alumnus to acquire the habit of contributing yearly to the Annual Giving Campaign. Can we count on you? ToMMY LicoN '16 Chairman Annual Giving Campaign Board of Visitors and Governors Adopts Report of Its Athletic Committee Since the formation of this and can submit a report to committee, originally under the Board in some detail at the chairmanship of Mr. Paul this time. Some of the questions the Swett, there have been five meetings including a joint committee focused its attenmeeting with the student rep- tion on were the following: 1. To what extent do the resentatives of the college and a meeting with the Faculty St. John's students, of their Committee on athletics. It is own volition, participate in believed that we now have a the Intramural athletic profull cross-section of opm1on gram? • 6 • 2. Is the program adequate and of sufficient interest to encourage the participation by all students? 3. Does the St. John's academic program allow sufficient time for physical development and organized Intramural athletics? 4. \Vhat is the faculty attitude toward athletics? 5. Are the athletic facilities adequate under present conditions? 6. Would· corn pulsory physical education or athletics be compatible to the St. John's program? 7. What effect does the athletic program as it now exists have on admissions to the college? 8. Do intercollegiate athletics have a place in the St. John's program? During the meetings the above questions have been given full consideration, and we are now in a position to draw certain conclusions concerning the athletic policy at St. John's. The participation by the students has become healthier and much more complete in the Intramural program than at any time since 1937. Of the 118 students at the col- lege in 19 54-5 5, 86 parbc1pa ted in athletics in some form during that year; 42 participated in all forms during the entire academic year; and 44 are what might be termed partial participants. Of the total of 79 boys, 49 participated in the program; and out of a total of 39 girls, 23 participated in the pro~ gram. The Facultv Committee suggested that' a program be adopted to improve the health habits of the student body and the appointment of a doctor to better serve the college community was given full discussion. Certain members of the Faculty Committee were of the opinion that admissions to the college would be aided greatly by improving the physical as well as the mental health of the students. At the time of our meeting with the Faculty Committee on May 3, 1955, it was clearly indicated that greater interest and participation in the sports program have been brought about by full encouragement on the part of the administration and faculty as well as student leaders to stimulate the desire for athletic compe- • 7 • �tition. It is obvious that there is now a large segment of the faculty who are encouraging sports and extra-curricular activities, whereas this encouragement did not emanate from the faculty to such a degree heretofore. The facilities now offered are adequate but the need for indoor facilities will increase in proportion to the increase in the student bodv. Within the student body' there are men and women of above normal athletic ability and St. John's is attracting students who have had highschool interest and background of sports participation and some of the students are considered outstanding . m their athletic prowess. Certain conclusions can be offered at this time, i.e., the Intramural athletic program will be greatly improved by a healthy increase in the student body. It takes numbers in order to set up a workable program. The attitude of the administration and faculty toward the intramural program has improved and full encouragement is being given to all extra-curricular activities. It has been emphasized in • all meetings that the necessary time and concentration required to organize teams for intercollegiate competition cannot be achieved within the present program. Regularly scheduled practice sessions, training, travel time, etc. would break down the continuity of the academic program. The college curriculum could not provide for advance scheduling of contests in the manner which is now customary in most colleges. Both students and faculty expressed definite agreement that compulsory athletics and/or physical education cannot be compatible with the present college curriculum. It has been suggested that informal competition in a modest way with other colleges might be possible whereby groups could be invited to St. John's to review the program and at the same time compete in a seasonal sport. This might be done in order to encourage better understanding of St. John's program by others as well as expose the St. John's student to life on other campuses within this area. President Weigle has often ~xpressed 8 • the desirability of this type of relationship with other institutions. It was emphasized that admissions are not affected by the lack of an intercollegiate athletic program but on the contrary, the type of student who wants the St. John's program is inclined favorably toward the voluntary Intramural program rather than intercollegiate competition. It is generally concluded by the Committee after exhaustive discussion and study that the athletic policy at St. John's should not be changed at this time and that the growth of the college must be dependent upon thegreater attraction of students which will, in turn, bring about a smooth-working Intramural athletic program with the full cooperation and encouragement of the administration, faculty, and student leadership.

According to what has become a pattern, they go to school somewhere else, get jobs, get drafted or hang around Annapolis. The class of '5 5 is holding pretty much true to form. Right now there are four of us living in Annapolis, but they all have an excuse; to my knowledge, none of us has yet elected to stay around for the 13 �Fifth Year. Lydia Aston has succeeded Miss Hopkins as College Nurse, and is no doubt answering Mr. Buchanan's plea for a revival of the liberal arts in the practice of medicine. Barbara Sandek and Hugh McKay are now seniors. Hugh is also playing trumpet weekends in a Baltimore jazz band with John Alexander, and Joan McKay, though no longer a student, is also, understandably, still present. Of those who began graduate school in the fall, it is good to report that nearly all have managed to remain there and seem to find it rewarding and worthwhile. To my knowledge, these include Priscilla Husted at the University of Chicago, Sandy Culbertson at L' Alliance Francaise in Paris, Sarah Covington (Mrs. Eric Crooke) at Ohio Wesleyan, where she is also an Assistant Resident Counselor, trafficking with sign-in books and other residential trappings. Arthur Reisz is at Harvard, a little disappointed but still game, and I am teaching and studying in English at the University of Connecticut, less, perhaps, out of conviction than habit. The onlv casualty I know of to date is Jim Chrestensen who in November wrote that he had left Brandeis but planned to stay in Boston a while. In explanation, he said: "I had no complaints with the school, but feel that I was not ready to give the total devotion to composing and theoretical practice that would have been necessary, to do well. I am much more concerned at the moment to be playing a lot and hearing a lot." Of the employed, Barbara Oosterhout is teaching mathematics at an elementary school in Beaumont, Texas, while John is studying math at Univ. of Texas. Peter McGhee did a brief stint with a film-producing outfit and is now waiting to begin his officer training program with the Navy at the end of January. As far as the draft goes, Paul Lowdenslager is "in" and when I last saw them, Jim Kibler and Jim Stone were "waiting." Incidental trivia: Emily Martin (Mrs. Samuel Kutler) writes that "suburban life is fine as long as one keeps out of civic clubs, church socials, and neighbors' gardens"; she and Sam are expecting a baby in May. I saw Dorothy Olim in New York not too long ago. She is being diligently dramatic at Columbia, writing many papers and acting in many plays; she now has an elegant apartment with a piano. I must confess that I would need my own secretary to keep track of all the shreds of information and gossip I've managed to pick up in the last month or so; I know I have heard more than I can recall now, and apologize for the people whose activities and wherabouts I once knew but find I have forgotten. I will welcome any indignant letters or telegrams filling me in on what I've left out, or setting me straight on what I've managed to get twisted in my mind. Richard D. Heywood is with the armed forces on patrol duty in Germany on the border of Russia. Jack Schott is a member of the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii. -Secretary: James Taylor, c/o English Dept., University of Conn., Box 93, Storrs, Conn. 1957 Alexander D.

PEI & ASSOCIATES, ARCHITECTS and PLANNERS September 1962 �St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland Volume XIV September 1962 Number 3 Published Quarterly Entered as Second Class Matter February 18, 1949 at the Post Office at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912. �FOREWORD 1 The St. John's College campus is composed of buildings ranging in age from four to almost two hundred years. Many of the older buildings are now in need of repair. Several are inefficiently used in terms of the present curriculum and enrollment. Moreover, certain pressing needs cannot be met in any of the existing buildings and hence require construction of new facilities. In considering possible modifications and additions to the physical plant of the College, our approach has been essentially conservative. We have sought to preserve and to strengthen the presently-established character of the campus, which seems, in scale and organization, altogether harmonious with the curriculum. Thus, while we suggest extensive interior remodelling to some of the existing buildings, no demolition is proposed. Where new wings or new buildings are recommended, they have been sited so as to complement and enhance the traditional quadrangular grouping, with its focus in McDowell Hall. Upon completion of the work outlined in this report, the College could accommodate an enrollment of about 350 students. As shown on the accompanying Campus Plan, this can be accomplished without the acquisition of new land. Further growth beyond this number would we believe, require expansion of the campus into the area west of St. John's Street. �CAMPUS PLAN �USE OF BUILDING FOR ST.

Laws of !Jfaryland, Session of July I-9, 1696. MR. WYCKOFF 2 �18 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE King William's School, established in accor~ance with :~s A~, flourished until the Revolution, .when, accordmg 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 foll?wing 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 guardia~s 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 times maintained. An early map of Offices of Administration, designates all denominations." The College is, wholly non-denominational. principles " have been at all Annapolis, preserved in the St. John's as the" Collegeas it has at all times been, CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 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 WASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. 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 1796, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in 18II. 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 �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 t~ 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." D~ring 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 suc;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. 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; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; and Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1929. 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 191 l to perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of James T. Woodward, Esquire. ii �11 22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE College Buildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was . egun m 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken ?ver ~y 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 Lafayett~. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Deans, 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~ vided ; 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 th~ second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lec~ure room equipped with chemistry lecture table, and ~t 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 twenty-seven thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to b CATALOGUE OF ST.JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 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 Marcus H. Benjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., 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. It is an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture. The College is refurnishing the house much as it was in 1774. As a museum of colonial art in Maryland, it is now open to the general public and to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740) , and the Pinkney House (1750), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are three hospital wards, two 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 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. 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 William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal �24 CATALOGUE OF S~. JOHN'S COLLEGE arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bacheloi· 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 foI!owing 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 requirements. A list is kept on file at the College showing the specific requirements of each medical school. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 25 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 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 especiaI!y helpful in their professional study, and 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 by 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. Dr. Joseph T. Herson; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. Wilfred C. Tyler; First Presbyterian, the Rev. James J. Coale; St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran, the Rev. Samuel G. Schick; St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist Fathers), the Very Rev. Charles E. Crowe, C.SS.R. ; Kenesth Israel Synagogue, the Rev. Mordechai Cohen. �Z6 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Short talks are given on topics especially chosen to encourage interest in books. During 1932-33, the series was sponsored by the Faculty Woman's Oub, which has continued to act as sponsor in 1933-34. The Library program for 1932-33 included General Pelham D. Glassford, speaking informally on the Bonus Army; Dr. Felix Morley, " This Changing World " ; E. P. Goldschmidt, " Manuscripts " ; Miss Belle Da Costa Greene, " The J.

Application for admission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yea,,,. 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 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 (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. �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. Candidates 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 schooling 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 117th 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 end 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. 30 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 31 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 = roo-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 is 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. �32 CATALOGUE OF ST. 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. 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. I I·. · Admission of Students from Other Colleges. Students who transfer 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. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 33 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 hoi:ised 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 �'I 'i I 34 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 dealing with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 35 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 admitting and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. The matriculation fee is not refundable. Annual Fees. The fixed charges are those shown in the following table. They do not include special fees, nor the student's traveling expenses, laundry, and incidentals : Per year Tuition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $300 Room rent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150 Board . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 300 Medical fee ..................... , . . . . . . . . . ro IO Athletic fee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.

JOHN'S COLLEGE 39 dation 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 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.

Students who are interested should consult the Librarian. STUDENT LOANS With a view to aiding those students who otherwise could not meet the necessary expenses of a college education, a system of loans has been arranged. Students who apply may be granted permission to give the College, in lieu of cash, Student-Aid notes payable two years after the student leaves the College, these notes to cover such portions of the fees as may be approved by the Committee. Student-Aid notes, executed under the same conditions as bank loans, bear interest at the rate of one per cent per annum from the date of making to the date of maturity. Applications for these student loans should be made on the regular Student-Aid blank. All students previously registered in St. John's, who desire aid, should file applications by June I; thereafter, until the middle of September, the applications of new students will be considered. Recipients of loans are required to maintain scholastic standing in the first three groups of the Rank List. Students who have been allowed to tender Student-Aid notes for one year may not be accorded this privilege in succeeding years unless they maintain satisfactory standing. Aids awarded in one year do not commit the College to any further award. Students who enjoy the privileges of securing such loans will be expected to reply promptly to all communications regarding their obligations. �11 46 CATALOGUE OF ST.

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. 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. During May each student is required to fill out not only a list of the courses he will take during the next college year but also a comprehensive plan of the studies he will pursue toward the degree. A plan of study sheet as well as an early registration card should be filed by every student who has not previously filed one. Late registration, unless excused by the student's Dean, may involve the payment of $s.oo. Failure to file the registration forms on time, when there is no valid excuse, will involve the payment of a charge of $2.00. 48 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 stude~t should call upon his Adviser ft:eely 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. Deans. In addition to the Advisers there are Deans who act as counsellors to the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. These Deans carry out the general regulations of the College, and act, jointly, as an Advisory Council. .:: Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated 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. 49 Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Registrar and with the approval of the Adviser. After this two-week period the student will be required to pay a charge of $2.oo if any change is made. After November I, no course may be dropped until mid-year, and after March I no further change may be made. Tuition will be charged for courses abandoned after these dates-tuition at the half-course rate for all half-courses and for full courses abandoned after November I, and tuition at the full-course rate for full courses abandoned after March I. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshman. 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 for 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 3 �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English r, 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. time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. 50 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. 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. Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering College for the first time in September, r93r, 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 thirtnn courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1931, are as follows: To the Junior Class: Nine Courses (in addition to two years of Physical Training). To the Senior Class: Thirteen Courses. 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 his Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any 51 Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises is required. Each 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. Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Excused Absences. Absen~e from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the class 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 hour- �:1 I ! 52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Sta,nding. 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 promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. 1: Ji 1. 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 those men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow: CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 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 his Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by his 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. 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. 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 his 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. The Deans' List. The Deans' List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Deans' List are trusted by the Deans 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 Deans' List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. 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 �54 \;1 l_1 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. i:' CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 I. 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3. Any language courses prescribed by the major department. 4. Three courses for distribution. (See Courses for Distribution.) 5. In addition to the above, elective courses sufficient to make a total of seventeen courses, exclusive of hygiene and physical training. 6. The course in hygiene, and two full courses or the equivalent in physical training. 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. 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 Registrar 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 must have passed seventeen ( 17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, have attained grades of C or higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must have secured credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). 55 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. Language Requirements. Language requirements (if any) are prescribed by the individual major departments. 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. Courses for Distribution. All courses offered are grouped in three Divisions : ( 1) 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. �56 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unless the student has passed in his preparatory school a course in laboratory science approved by the College, he must pass at least one college course in a laboratory science.

In 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act v;as ' ssed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King pa William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a trad' 1tion 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: 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 foll?wing 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.

JOHN'S COLLEGE President Washington visited the College in 179I. After his , visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: · To the Faculty of St. Johws 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. April 17, 1791. GEORGE WASHINGTON. 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 1796, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britain, in 18II. 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. 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 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 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 successful 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. The names of the former presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 1807-1820; 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; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-1880; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; and Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1929. The College Today, and the Degree. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to King 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. Though 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. �22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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, which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the essential 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. The best 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 requirements. A list is kept on file at the College showing the specific requirements of each medical school. 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 posstble 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 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. Courses in government are recommended as helpful in their professional ·study. 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 them by their advisers. ZJ Business Administration. Students preparing to enter business, with or without training at graduate schools of business ad.. ministration, 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. 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 buildii1gs have much to interest students· of America~ 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 gteat 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 * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of James T. Woodward, Esquire. �24 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 1911 to perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. College Bl!ildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was begun in l 744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken ' over by the College in 1784, it nbw 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 Deans, 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 pro-· vided; 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 andthird 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. Biology Hall, on the corner of College A venue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology ' 25 : Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology staff. Woodward Hall, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses approximately twenty-five thousand volumes; the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of great historical interest are four hundred books surviv-· ing from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 16¢ 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 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. It is an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture. The College is refurnishing the house much as it was in 1774· As a museum of colonial art in Maryland, it is now open to the general public and to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House (1740), and the Pinkney House '(1750), are also recent additions to the college property; and the Bordley-Randall House (1727) has been equipped as the residence of a member of the faculty. The Infirmary, in whichthere are three hospital ·wards, two private rooms, and an isolationward, is housed in a separate building ju~t across from the College Green on College A venue. Here the College Physician liolds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one, of whom is always on duty, live in the building. tl'he 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 the College Green, Pinkney Hall (1855) and Randall Hall (1903), in addition to the six fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. · 1929, �26 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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. Dr. Joseph T. Herson; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. ~ Wilfred C. Tyler; First Presbyterian, the Rev. James J. Coale; 1 St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran, the Rev. Samuel G. Schick; , St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist Fathers), the Rev. Francis Clair; Kenesth Israel Synagogue, the Rev. Mordechai Cohen. Lectures and Concerts. Under the auspices of the Faculty Committee a series of lectures and concerts is arranged throughout the year. These entertainments, although intended primarily for students, are open to the , friends of the College. The Faculty Woman's Club also provides an additional series of lectures and concerts. The program for 1931-32 included Professor von der Leyen of the University of Cologne on " Goethe " ; Captain Paul Koenig, "The Journeys of the Deutschland "; Dr. Stewart Paton, "Managing Our Daily Affairs "; Dr. Lewellys F. Barker, " A Recent Trip to Russ-ia "; Harry Elmer Barnes on "Prison Riots"; and Jason Westerfield, "The Stock Exchange and Better-Business Bureau."

Dr. Richard Kuehnemund of the St. John's Faculty gave a lecture-recital on " Bach." Library Teas. The Librarian and her assistants arrange a series of teas in the reading room of the Library on alternate Thursdays. Various Faculty members and others talk briefly on topics of general interest. During the year 1931-32, Messrs. R. T. H. Halsey, Julian S. Duncan, John T. Rodgers, Boies Penrose, and Nathan C. Starr of the St. John's Faculty talked at these teas. CATALOGUE OF ST.

Application for admission should be filed by every candidate as ., early as possible in the year 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 principal of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also fo 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 o'f entrance credit in any subject except Eng, lish represents four or, five school periods of work a week for approximately ~hirty-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. I �----- 30 , ----------------- 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. Candidates 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 schooling 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 i 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 43r West u7th Street, New York City. The Registrar of the College will be glad to help any student to arrange for either kind of examination. 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 s.tudent 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 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 31 general average of C at the end 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. 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.

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 accept~d, and one-half unit in spherical trigonometry.

Such make-up work is an entrance prescription, is stated as such at the time of admission, <J,nd is entered as such on the student's recor\i. 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. = = = I! �32 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Students who transfer 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. i 33 PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS . Routine of Admission. See "Admission." '.

A similar schedule will be maintained before and after the Easter recess. �48 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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. 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 s~udent 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. Deans. In addition to the Advisers there are four class Deans who act as counsellors to the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes, respectively. These Deans carry out the general regulations of the College, and act, jointly, as an Advisory Council to the President. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated 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 . ' · · 49 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. During May each student is required to fill out not only a list of the courses he will take during the next college year but also a comprehensive plan of the studies he will pursue toward the degree. A Plan of Study sheet as well as an Early Registration card should be filed by all students except Seniors before the time limit for the May registration. Late registration, unless excused by the student's Dean, may involve the payment of $s.oo. Failure to file a Study Card on time, when there is no valid excuse, will involve the payment of a charge of $2.00. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Registrar and with the approval of the Adviser. After this two-week period the student will be required to pay a charge of $2.00 if any change is made. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshman. The course in prescribed English compos1t10n 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 for 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. �T 50 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Physical Training Requirement~. 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 c!~ss exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the reqmsite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from his Dean. Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering College for the first time in September 1931, 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 se11en of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1931, are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: Four Courses (in addition to Physical Training). To the Junior Class : Nine Courses (in addition to two years of Physical Training). To the Senior Class : . Thirteen Courses. Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of his Dean. In no c~se may .more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time reqmre 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 ar all other academic exercises is required. Each 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 51 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 class Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " In. firmary 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-years, within four w,eeks; at finals, 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 promotion to the next higher class, or in the case of a senior, to the degree. �~1 ! 52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 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 Deans' List. The Deans' List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of ·the Rank List. Men on the Deans' List are trusted by the Deans with greater responsibility and disc.retion 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 Deans' 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 mid-years a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion, may be placed on probation a~d warned by his Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by his Dean. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 I:Iowever, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November. 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. A 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 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 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 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 inajor requirements, it must be repeated. �------,. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 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. 3. Any language courses prescribed by the major department. 4. Three courses for distribution. (See Courses for Distribution.) 5. In addition to the above, elective courses sufficient to make a total of seventeen courses, exclusive of hygiene and physical training. 6. The course in hygiene, and. two full courses or the equivalent in physical training. 54 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 Registrar 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 conclusions of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE A student must have passed seventeen ( 17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, have attained grades of C or higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must have secured credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). 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. 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 55 Major Courses. At the end of his Freshman year each student is required to designate his major subject. He will have an instructor in that subject 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. Language Requirements. Language requirements (if any) are prescribed by the individual major departments. 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. 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 college 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. �56 CATALOGUE OF ST.

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 his 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 So for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* *For determining comparable averages the mid-point of each grade-range 100-90, B 89-80, C 79-70, and D in the following scale is used : A 69-60. = = = = �62 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a compre- , hensive 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. *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. 63 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Freshman courses are numbered from I to 19, Sophomore courses from 20 to 29, Junior Courses from 30 to 39, and Senior courses from 40 up. The numbers of full courses are unqualified, halfcourses running throughout the year are indicated by hf following the number, and half-courses given only in the first or the second half-year are designated by 1 hf or 2 hf. Courses not given in the current year are bracketed. The Roman numeral in parentheses after the name of each course indicates the examinati9n group to which the course is assigned. Separate sections have their examination: groups listed successively. Courses are open ordinarily to members of a higher class ; and occasionally members of a lower class may obtain the permission of an instructor to register for a higher class. The previous consent of the instructor is required for registration in courses indicated by an asterisk (*). The reading courses numbered in the fifties are open to Juniors regularly. The thesis courses numbered in the sixties are open only to Seniors who are candidates for departmental honors ; such courses are marked by a dagger ( t). I.

The season of the year and the diversification of animals available at such institutions combine to give the student opportunities for study which cannot be duplicated during the regular school year. With the approval of the department courses taken at a marine laboratory may be counted toward the fulfillment of the requirements for a biology major, or the requirements for the degree. To encourage and assist worthy biology and pre-medical students to attend such laboratories, the College offers annually a scholarship applicable either at the Biological Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York, or at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

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, I6!)6. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. 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 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the ~sters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The college has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. President Washington visited the college in 179!. After his visit he addressed this letter to the faculty of the college: 18 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. · 19 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 ex.cellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE WASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. He gave further evidence of his interest by sending to the Col· lege 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. Virgmia and Washington, jun. 1: 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 as ; trustees 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 1796 and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britain, in 1812. Founded at a time when politics 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. . During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Anny ' hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 successful administration of Dr. Thomas· Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now President Emeritus, re- : tired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service to the college. His .: successor, President Enoch Barton Garey, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. The names of the former presidents of the college, with the dates . of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 1807-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; William Rafferty,· 1824-1831; Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nel- · son, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the.· Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling,: 1867-1870; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-1880; John McDowell· Leavitt, 188o-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas' Fell, 1886-1923; and Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1929. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The ·enrollment ; is limited. The purpose of St. John's is expressed in the charter . of King William's School-education of youth in " good letters ; and manners." To this end attention is directed upon liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Realiz'- ing that professional schools are demanding well-grounded men, ··St. John's prepares for further study such students as intend to , continue their special training after graduation. LOCATION St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty acres in : the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique in America for the way in which it has preserved the flavor of American : Colonial culture. Built at the mouth of the Severn River, a mile : from Chesapeake Bay, the capital of Maryland and the site of the •· United States Naval Academy, it is within an hour's ride of Wash~ ington or Baltimore. Both of these cities offer many educational resources to the student at St. John's. The departments of the : National Government, the museums, the libraries and the art gal. leries of the one, the musical and intellectual advantages of the other · are easily available and of the greatest service. 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 are 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. Dur*This tree has been preserved through the generosity of James T. Wood' ward, Esquire, and has been marked by an appropriate tablet through the : efforts of the Peggy Stewart Tea Party (Annapolis) Chapter of the '.·Daughters of the American Revolution. �22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ing the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered . there to discuss their wrongs. The Ai:mapolitans 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 191 l to perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. Department. This building was acquired by the college in 1929 and is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology staff. Woodward Hall, the college library, erected in 189<), houses approximately twenty-five thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of 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 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. It is an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture. The college is refurnishing the house much as it was in 1774· As the foremost museum of colonial art in Maryland, it is now open to the general public and to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 1750), are also recent additions to the college property ; and the Bordley-Randall House ( l 727) has been equipped as the residence of a member of the faculty. The Infirmary is housed in a separate building just across from the college green on College A venue. Here the college physician holds daily office hours and there are three hospital wards and two private rooms, in addition to an isolation ward. The Infirmary attendants live in the Infirmary, and at least one attendant is always on duty. The Gymnasium, built in 1910, is equipped with a maximum size ,basketball floor, handball and squash tennis courts, ' 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 six fraternity houses of the college. Randall Hall contains the college dining hall. 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 the administration, class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, in which. were held in honor of General Lafayette two banquets and a "grand ball," in 1824. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, Dean and 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.

JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE DEGREE and Mechanics, a fourth year of Mathematical Analysis, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry (introductory and advanced) and Quantitative Analysis, General Physics, General Economics, Corporation Finance, Government, History, and English are recommended. Advanced standing is offered St. John's graduates who plan to take engineering degrees. At Johns Hopkins University three scholarships are offered in engineering to graduates of St. John's College. The college offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree includes the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of Science and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever the latter degree was formerly required. PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION Though primarily a college of the Liberal Arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. Its degree is accepted by these institutions and in many cases is approved for advanced standing. For those who are interested in professional preparation the following information is offered : Medicine. Students wishing to study medicine are given special attention at St. John's. Although a two-year pre-medical course is offered which will fit the student for admission to some schools of medicine, the student is strongly advised to spend at least three and ' preferably four years in preparation. The best medical schools require a bachelor's degree for admission. Under the supervision of a faculty adviser, the pre-medical student pursues courses in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and Modern Languages. Based upon the success of his pre-medical work, an application is made in his senior year for admission to the medical school of his choice. The degree from St. John's is recognized by the best medical schools of the country, and the graduate who has maintained the necessary scholastic standard may expect to be admitted to any of these schools. Any student completing satisfactorily the special two-year premedical course may, if he prefers, take the two additional years and receive his degree. The two-year course is identical with the first two years of the four-year course except that Physics in the former course is taken in the second year instead of the third. Schedules for pre-medical students are arranged to satisfy the requirements stipulated b) the various medical schools for admission. Engineering. Three years of Mathematics covering the subjects of Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytics, Calculus, Differential Equations 1 ZS Law. Students who are planning to study law may take their major either in Social Science or in History, Government, or Economics. Additional courses will be suggested to supplement the major requirements of such students. Business Administration. Students who anticipate either going into business after graduation, or continuing in graduate studies in this field are advised to major in Economics. Schedules of study will be arranged to include courses in Psychology, Statistics, and Government. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

JOHN'S COLLEGE 35 SENIOR FELLOWSHIP The Senior Fellowship was 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 Fellowship1 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 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 immedi· ately 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.

Upon some payment on the prin- · cipal, they may at that time be renewed at the legal rate of interest, 6 per cent. Recipients o:f these student aid loans are required to maintain an average of C in their college work to retain the aid. Applications from students now in college who have not maintained a C average can not be approved by the Committee on Financial Aid. Aid awarded for one year does not commit the college for any future award.

GENERAL REGULATIONS St. John's College aims to develop in its students a sense of responsibility to the community as well as high standards of scholarship. To this end student self-government is encouraged, and the Student Council deals with many questions of student control. Any undergraduate who is unable to cooperate in maintaining these standards may be required to withdraw from college. 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. Honor Regulations Each student is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman. The Student Council cooperates with the Dean in enforcing this regulation. Any student who is guilty of any dishonesty will be required to withdraw from college. 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 midyears, within four weeks; at finals, within the first six weeks of the following academic year. Amount of Work Required. No regular student may take less than four courses in any year, except in the senior year in case he is a candidate for honors. 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 permission of the Dean. Repeating Courses. A student may not repeat a course which he has passed in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may atone for the failure by repeating the course or by substituting another course. If the course failed is one required for , the degree or for fulfillment of the major requirement, it must be repeated. Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to carry more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be carried. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission for additional courses has previously been granted. 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 promotion to the next higher class (to the degree, in case of a senior). Examinations. Informal hour-examinations are held in all courses in both the first and second half-years,. in November and in March, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of the half-year. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the :first half-year, and final examinations are held at the end of the year in each full Requirements for the Degree. A student must have passed seventeen ( 17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, have attained grades of C or higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses, and must have secured credit for satisfactory work in the course in Hygiene and in Physical Training during the first two years. �78 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Requirements for Promotion.* , For all students entering for the first time in September 1931, 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 seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at Mid-years 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. A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November hour-examinations is ordinarily warned by the Dean. He may, however, if the record is exceedingly low, be placed on probation in November. A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record . · which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the lower class and placed on probation. . A 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 connec- ' tion with the college finally severed. Men on Probation. Men placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to . regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. Men on probation will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance; they are not allowed to participate in any athletic contest with varsity teams. If the student is reported for any matter of * Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1931, are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: Four Courses (in addition to Physical Training). To the Junior Class: Nine Courses (in addition to two years of Physical Training). To the Senior Class: Thirteen Courses. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 79 discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. For failure to maintain an attendance record satisfactory to the Dean, a student may be placed on probation. 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. Probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will ordinarily be lifted at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and other college exercises is required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who may ignore this rule, in warning men against further absences, and in placing men on probation who fail to cooperate. Unexcused absences before or after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Change of Program. Students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean, during the first two weeks in either half-year. A charge of $2 is involved by any change after this two week period. Filing of Study Cards. Each student is required to file his study card for the first halfyear before 4 P. M. on Registration Day. Each student is required to file his study card for the second half-year before 4 P. M. on the second Friday in January. Each student is required to file at the Dean's Office before May 14 a list of the courses which he proposes to take during the next college year. This list of courses must have been discussed with his adviser and must be signed as approved by the adviser. For failure to file any study card on time, without valid excuse, the student is liable for a charge of $2. �80 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Advisers. Freshmen are assigned to members of the Faculty who will act as their advisers during the Freshman year. These assignments are 1 made with great care to insure sympathetic guidance for each individual. Each prospective Freshman is asked to fill out the Adtnis- •· sion Blank fully so that the Dean may make this assignment wisely. Near the end of the first year (before May first), the student · chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. Before he · chooses the work of the Sophomore year, the student is assigned to · an adviser in the department of his major who will continue in the · capacity of adviser throughout the remaining three years. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register on Registration Day. With the permission of the Dean, a student may for a legitimate reason register after this day. Late registration involves the payment of a fee of $5. Excused Absences. If, by reason of illness or other unavoidable cause, absence from classes is necessary, the Dean may excuse the absence.

JOHN'S COLLEGE HISTORICAL SKETCH The story of St. John's College begins in 16g6 with the establishment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year the following act was passed : At a SESSION of ASSEMBLY, begun and held at Port of ANNAPOLIS, on the Ist day of July, in the 8th year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord William the third, by the Grace of God, of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, &c. annoque domini 1696, and ended the 9th day of the same month. FRANCIS NICHOLSON, ESQUIRE, Governor. CHAP. XVII A Petitionary ac.t for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. 2. fol. n5. 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. -Extract from Laws of Maryland. 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 the earliest colonial times. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the college the principles of freedom which, from her first beginnings, 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. 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 WASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served as trustees 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 1796 and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britain, in 1812. Founded at a time when politics 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. 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 successful 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, President Enoch Barton Garey, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. The presidents of the college, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807. Bethel Judd, 1807-1820. Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824. William Rafferty, 1824-1831. Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857. Cleland Kinlcich Nelson, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867. James Clark Welling, 1867-1870.

JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE St. John's is a non-sectarian ~allege for men. The enrollment is limited. The purpose of St. John's is the purpose expressed in the charter of King William's School-education of youth in "good letters and manners." To this end attention is directed upon liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Realizing that professional schools are demanding well-grounded men, St. John's prepares for further study such students as intend to continue their special training after graduation. LOCATION St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique in America for the way in which it has preserved the flavor of American Colonial culture. Built at the mouth of the Severn River, a mile from Chesapeake Bay, the capital of Maryland and the site of the United States Naval Academy, it is within an hour's ride of Washington or Baltimore. Both of these cities offer many educational resources to the student at St. John's. The departments of the National Government, the museums, the libraries and the art galleries of the one, the musical and intellectual advantages of the other are easily available and of the greatest service. 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 are many reminders of the early history of Maryland. The most ancient of the old trees is the Liberty Tulip-poplar,* under which in 1652 the colonists concluded *This tree has been preserved through the generosity of James T. Woodward, Esquire, and has been marked by an appropriate tablet through the efforts of the Peggy Stewart Tea Party (Annapolis) Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. �22 23 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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. A dinner and ball in his honor were later given in the present Great Hall of the college. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped in Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in l9II to perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. The Biology Hall, on the corner of College Avenue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building was acquired by the college in 1929 and is pmvided with new equipment.. Here also are the offices of the Biology staff. Woodward Hall, the college library, erected in 1899, houses approximately twenty-three thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the gift made by William the Third in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. They 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 library has received for the last five years an annual grant 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. It is an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture. The college is refurnishing the house much as it was in 1774· As the foremost museum of colonial art in Maryland, it is now open to the general public and to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House (1740), the Pinkney House (1750), and the Bordley-Randall House (1727) are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary 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 and there are three hospital wards and two private rooms, in addition to an isolation ward. The Infirmary attendants. live in the Infirmary and at least one attendant is always on duty. The Gymnasium; built in 1910, is equipped with a maximum size basketball floor, handball and squash tennis courts, 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 which are owned by the college. Randall Hall contains the college dining hall. 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 the administration, class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, in which Lafayette was entertained by the people of Annapolis. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the Dean and Registrar, and the offices of the Comptroller. 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 Department has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. iI I �24 CATALOGUE OF ST.

J6HN'S COLLEGE 35 SENIOR FELLOWSHIP The Senior Fellowship was 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 Resol'Ued: 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 of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; Qr 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 STUDENT AID Foreign Scholarships. To foreigii students a limited number of scholarships providing free tuition and room rent. Holders of such scholarships may be required to do five hours' work weekly, if the college so requests, assisting language departments, tutoring, etc. The scholar is expected to pay the regular charge for board ($300), the matriculation fee ($15), and the medical, athletic, and student activities fees ($10 each). Students are aided somewhat in meeting the expenses of a college education at St. John's by certain scholarships paid from the income of funds in the hands of the Treasurer or in return for the aid appropriated each year by the State of Maryland. Student waiters, who are employed in the dining hall, are ordinarily upperclassmen, men who have proved themselves worthy of this aid by their records in scholastic work and in activities. A few upperclassmen are employed each year as technical assistants in laboratories. By the generosity of friends and alumni of the college, there is also a Student Aid Fund, the income of which is used in loans to students who unaided could not meet the necessary expenses. These loans are executed under the same conditions as bank loans, but they bear interest at the low rate of I per cent per annum, and are not payable until two years from the date on which the student graduates or leaves the college. Upon some payment on the principal, they may at that time be renewed at the legal rate of interest, 6 per cent. Recipients of these student aid loans are required to maintain an average of C in their college work to retain the aid. Applications from students now in college who have not maintained , a C average can not be approved by the Committee on Financial Aid. Aid awarded for one year does not commit the college for any future award.

JOHN'S COLLEGE GENERAL REGULATIONS St. John's College aims to develop in its students a sense of respon9ibility to the community as well as high standards of scholarship. To this end student self-government is encouraged, and the Student Council deals with many questions of student control. Any undergraduate who is unable to cooperate in maintaining these .· standards may be required to withdraw from college. Honor Regulations Each student is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman. The Student Council cooperates with the Dean in enforcing this ; regulation. Any student who is guilty of any-aishonesty may be required to ' withdraw from college. Amount of Work Required. No student may carry a program of less than four courses in any . year, except in the senior year in case he is a candidate for honors. 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 permission of the Dean. Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to carry more than five courses in ' any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case · may more than six courses be carried. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special per- . mission for additional courses has previously been granted. Examinations. Informal hour-examinations are held in all courses in both the first and second half-years, in November and in March, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of the half-year. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first half-year, and final examinations are held at the end of the year in each full year course. In half courses the final examination is held at the end of the course. ' , . · 75 / 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. 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 midyears, within four weeks ; at finals, within the first six weeks ··of the following academic year. : Repeating Courses. A student may not repeat a course which he has passed in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any .· course, he may atone for the failure by repeating the course or by · substituting another course. If the course failed is one required for : the degree or for fulfillment of the major requirement, it must be . repeated. 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 promotion to the next higher class (to the degree, in case of a , senior). : Requirements for the Degree.* . A student must have passed seventeen ( 17) full courses, or their ' equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, have attained grades of C or ·higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses, and must have : secured credit for satisfactory work in the course in Hygiene and . in Physical Training during the first two years.

JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Requirements for Promotion.* The requirements for promotion are as follows : ' Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer needs restraint. Probation because of unsatisfactory record will ordinarily be lifted at once, if the next grade period shows a satisfactory record. To the Sophomore Class: Four Courses (in addition to Physical Training). To the Junior Oass: Nine Courses (in addition to two years of Physical Training). To the Senior Class: Thirteen Courses. Probation. A student who fails to make at Mid-years 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. A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November hour-examinations is ordinarily warned by the Dean. :· He may, however, if the record is exceedingly low, be placed on.·.~ probation in November. A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion to the next higher class, is dropped to the lower class and placed on probation. Men on Probation. Men placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. Men on probation will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance ; they are not allowed to participate in any athletic contest with varsity teams. 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. For failure to maintain an attendance record satisfactory to the Dean, a student may be placed on probation. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a college officer may also bring the penalty of probation. 77 .: ' ' :· ; ·. .

Each student is required to file his study card for the second ~. half-year before 4 P. M. on the first Friday in January. Each student is required to file at the Dean's Office before May 15 a list of the courses which he proposes to take during the ~ . . next college year. This list of courses must_ have been discussed with his adviser and must be signed as approved by the adviser. For failure to file any study card on time, without valid excuse, the student is liable for a charge of $z. 1 Advisers. Freshmen are assigned to members of the Faculty who will act as their advisers during the Freshman year. These assignments are made with great care to insure sympathetic guidance for each individual. Each prospective Freshman is asked to fill out the Admission Blank fully so that the Dean may make this assignment wisely. Near the end of the first year (before May first), the student chooses one subject in which h~ will do his major work. Before he �78 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

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 the 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 for those men whose requirements for the sophomore year are 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.

An examination for exemption from this requirement will be taken by all new , students on the first day of the college year. Students who are successful in gaining exemption will be allowed to substitute an elective course for it. Credit for one full course will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen at the end of the year. Language Requirements.

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 and fixed mastery of one sub- · ject 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 So 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 con£ erence between him and the instructors in his major department. He will be relieved of a maximum of two courses during his last two years. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a compre- ' hensive 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. 1 Degrees with Distinction.
