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. James Mercer Garnett, 1870-1880. John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884. William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886. Thomas Fell, 1886-1923. Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1929. CATALOGUE OF ST. 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. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE DEGREE 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.

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. All of these aids (except the scholarships awarded by the State of Maryland) are to be applied for formally on a blank provided by the Comptroller. Students in St. John's College must apply before June 1st. Prospective students must file their applications before September rnth. SCHOLARSHIPS Merit Scholarships. Two scholarships providing free tuition will be awarded by the Faculty on recommendation of the Dean, one to a member of the freshman class, and one to a member of the sophomore class, who by their character and their attainments in scholarship and undergraduate life have demonstrated their capacity for leadership. These scholarships are tenable for one year. 37 Reverdy Johnson Scholarship. To a student planning to go into the graduate study of international relations, a scholarship providing free tuition.

To one student from each county of Maryland and one from each of the legislative districts of Baltimore city, a " tuition scholarship " providing free tuition. Candidates for these scholarships should .consult their County Board of Education for information regarding the competitive examination. Retention of Scholarships. In case any student holding a scholarship fails to pass all his courses at the end of the college year with a general average of C, the faculty will recommend that his scholarship be forfeited. If a student holding one of these scholarships leaves college for any reason before the end of the year, the scholarship held by him shall be declared vacant and cannot be re-awarded before the beginning of the next academic year.

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 .: ' ' :· ; ·. .

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 $z 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 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.

The list is ' published twice a year, after the Mid-year examinations and after the Final examinations. Men whose names are included remain on the list until the next list appears. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work ; they are allowed to observe the rules regarding attendance as they may wish and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of the privileges of the Dean's List over an extended time may bring about the withdrawal of any men from the list. 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. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on recommendation of the college physician. Students must report all illness promptly to the Infirmary. The College Physician maintains daily office hours at the Infirmary, at which his services are available without charge other than the Medical Fee required of all students. Students suffering from contagious or infectious diseases must reside in the Infirmary until released by the College Physician. 79 . 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 Composition (one course). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3.

Elective courses sufficient to make a total of seventeen courses. 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 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.

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. 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.

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. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on recommendation of the college physician. Students must report all illness promptly to the Infirmary. The College Physician maintains <laily office hours at the Infirmary, at which his services are available without charge other ·than the Medical Fee required of all students.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, 1784 ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND A College of the Liberal Arts to be maintained forever for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination �Historical Background 0 NE of the three American institutions of higher learning founded in the seventeenth century, St. John's College has a continuous history from 1696, when the Colonial Legislature of Maryland authorized the establishment of a school "for the education of youth in good letters and manners." The school, known as King William's School, which was founded in accordance with the Act, :flourished until the Revolution and gave instruction to many whose names are connected with the founding of the Republic. In 1784 the State Legislature created St. John's College, with which in the following year by legislative action the funds, books and masters of King \Villiam' s School were consolidated. The name of King William's School disappeared, but the school itself survived in a preparatory department which continued to exist until recent years. The Legislature at the same time granted to the college its present campus, with its main building now known as McDowell Hall, >< "' z ""l l:' ~ "' i"': 's µl :0.:: °" ..... .. tr\ tr\ 00 .s ] v ....

Jam es Brice. It was a center of Colonial entertainment and was frequently visited by George Washington. It is now used as the residence of the president of the College. �which had been begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen, Royal Governor from 1742 to 1747, as a governor's palace, but which had remained unfinished and had been known as "Bladen' s Folly," since the Colonial Legislature forty years before had refused to vote funds to finish the building. The name "St. John's" is thought to have been given to the college by those among its founders who had been students at St. John's College, Oxford. The founders wrote into the charter the principles of religious freedom, which had from the beginning characterized the political background of Maryland and which have at all times been maintained at the college. The charter says " .... the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination .... nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, or other professor, master, or tutor in said college, on account of his particular religious profession.'' In accordance with the policy declared by the charter, the first Board included, among other distinguished members, Dr. Thomas John Clagett, the first Protestant Episcopal Bishop to be ordained in the United States, and Archbishop John Carroll, the first Amer~ ican Roman Catholic Archbishop. Three signers of the Declara6on of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase and Thomas Stone, served on the Board in the early days of the college, as did also Colonel John Eager Howard, the Revolutionary officer, later Governor of Maryland, who was one of the American friends of General Lafayette. Mary~ land's fourth signer of the Declaration, William Paca, was one of those who petitioned the Legislature for the college charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's College in 1796, and Reverdy Johnson, Attorney General of the United States and Am~ bassador to Great Britain, in 1812. In continuance of this tradition the college has trained many prominent in State and National affairs. The St. John's College of today, unchanged in fundamentals, continues with modern methods the purposes which induced George Washington to select the college for his namesake and ward, George Washington Parke Custis, and his two nephews, Lawrence and Fairfax Washington. It is creating for the twentieth century, as it did for the eighteenth century, a body of able and useful citizens. A VIEW OF THE COLLEGE GREEN Taken from a point under the "Liberty Poplar," looking west in front of the college buildings. �The Curriculum A the course of study is arranged with a view to providing the individual student with the courses necessary for a well rounded education in the Liberal Arts. The courses are offered by the Faculty through three divisions: the Division of Languages, Literature, and Art; the Division of the Social Sciences; and the Division of Sciences and Mathematics. In the Social Sciences, courses are offered in History, Government, Economics, Philosophy, and Psychology; in Sciences, courses are offered in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. T ST. JOHN'S, Seventeen full courses, distributed through the four years, are required for the degree. The normal freshman year includes from four to five courses. English Composition, which is required of all freshmen (unless they merit relief from this prescription by virtue of an examination in English Composition), is the only prescribed course. The other sixteen courses, however, are chosen by the student according to a plan of "guided electives," so-called because the student is guided in his choice by the necessity of taking six of these courses in one subject at the prescription of his major department, which he chooses at the end of his freshman year. He must elect at least one elementary course in each of the divisions other than the one in which his major falls, and he must take one advanced course, depending on the elementary courses so chosen. This accounts for a total of ten courses. The other seven may be elected as the student sees fit. He is, however, further guided by the counsel of a member of the Faculty, who acts as his adviser. �RANDALL HALL The college dining hall. with a partial view of the playing fields bounded by College Creek, an arm of the Severn River, and by King George Street, part of the highway to Baltimore. The closeness of the playing fields to the college buildings facilitates the college's policy of physical training for all of its students. THE DINING l;IALL All students, whether living in fraternity houses or in dormitories, dine together. Special banquets are served to honor college teams and the winners of non-athletic student awards. �WOODWARD HALL, THE LIBRARY, UPPER READING ROOM The English Literature room. Access to the book shelves is free to all students as a part of the College's emphasis upon reading. - W the college library, erected in 1899, houses more than 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 gift made during the reign of William the Third and under his auspices 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 1 7 8 5. OODWARD HALL, The rapid growth of the Library has been greatly aided by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. WOODWARD HALL, THE LIBRARY In addition to its collection of books and its reading rooms, Woodward Hall containSJ the offices of the members of the faculty, where students freely confer with their instructors. �THE EAST SIDE OF THE COLLEGE GREEN THE WEST SIDE OF THE COLLEGE GREEN Seen from the Center Walk leading to McDowell Hall.

In the past five years St. John's has won well over half of its football games, approximately three-fourths of its basketball games, and for the past three years has been undefeated in lacrosse, winning three consecutive National Championships. Last June St. John's was selected to represent the United States in the International Lally Cup Lacrosse series with Canada. The Canadians were decisively defeated by the Orange and Black representatives, and the International Championship came to the United States for the first time. Interest in Boxing and Cross Country has been increasing rapidly; the teams in each sport have performed creditably since the sports were started. Athletic Activities Physical Training Physical training is required of all freshmen and Athletics in St. John's College. There is also an optional course for those \Vho have completed their requirement and wish to continue participation in athletics. A thorough physical examination is given, however, by the College Physician, as a preliminary to this athletic activity, and dictates the type and the extent of the exercise undertaken by the student. One year of additional physical training is required after the freshman year. Varsity St. John's maintains five varsity teams; three major sport Teams teams, and two minor sport ones. Football, Basketball and Lacrosse are designated by the Athletic Council as major sports, while Boxing and Cross Country are designated as minor sports. In the past few years St. John's has had major sport victories over such opponents as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Army, Dartmouth, New York University, Swarthmore, Haverford, Dela- Freshman Freshman teams are maintained in football, basketball Teams and lacrosse on a major sport basis, and in boxing and cross country on a minor sport basis. Games are scheduled with freshman teams of other colleges and universities and with some of the leading high schools of Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as with some of the leading preparatory schools. St. John's freshman teams have been winning the majority of their games in all branches of sport for the last few years. Intramural During the 19 31-3 2 intramural athletic season all Athletics previous records were broken in the various sports. Pinkney Hall won the singles and Delta Psi Omega won the doubles in the fall tennis tournament, while Kappa Alpha was winning the fall playground ball tournament. Later the same organizations named above defeated a team composed of members of the faculty. Kappa Alpha succeeded in winning the volley ball honors, while Theta Psi succeeded in winning the foul shooting contest. When Soccer came to a close Theta Psi, Kappa Alpha, Delta Psi Omega and Pinkney were tied for :first place. Kappa Alpha then won the basketball tournament, Delta Psi Omega won the annual cross country meet and Randall Hall took high honors in the annual track meet. During the spring the handball tournaments are completed, playground ball gets under way, and tennis and horseshoe competition begins. The annual swimming meet takes place in May. �-.-------···----·------- 1932 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM In the past five years an average of approximately one-third of the entire student body of St. John's College has taken part in either freshman or varsity football each year. This shows the popularity of football as a sport at St. John's. Included on the football schedules of the past years have been teams representing such institutions as Yale, Rutgers, Lafayette, University of Maryland, Washington and Lee, University of Virginia, Virginia Military Institute, and many others. Johns Hopkins, the traditional rival of St. John's for a period of over forty years, has been met and defoa ted in three of the last four years. St. John's has also had numerous football victories over teams of the same standing from all sections of the country. ACTION PICTURES OF HOME FOOTBALL GAMES - -- -- �1931 VARSITY LACROSSE TEAM-WORLD'S CHAMPIONS. Lacrosse, the fastest game known, has a very popular act1v1ty among the students in St. John's College. More than one-third of the total number of students in the College have been regularly enrolled in the various squads of this spring sport. While it has not been the principal aim of the sport to compile a winning record, still it is significant of the interest in the game, that within the past four years the team representing St. John's has won forty games and lost one, defeating the best representative teams of the United States, Great Britain and Canada. For three of these years the team has been recognized as National Champion by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association, and in 1931 captured the World's Championship by defeating a team composed of the picked stars of all of Canada.

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.

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. 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 accept~d, and one-half unit in spherical trigonometry. Social Science: In history one year of work (one unit) is required, and as many as six units may be accepted. In civics one year of work (one-half unit) may be accepted. In " Problems of American Democracy " one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. In economics one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. In sociology one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. *For purposes of averaging the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used: A 100-90, B 89-80, C = 79-70, D 69-60. t In certain cases entrance insufficiencies may be made up after the student has entered college. Such make-up work is an entrance prescription, is stated as such at the time of admission, <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.

Drawing: One year of work (one-half unit) in free-hand draw- · ing and one year of work (one-half unit) in mechanical •· drawing may be accepted. 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. i 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 housed in College buildings) and . to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations • brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of . : college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that •· two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. ' They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the ' names of other students with whom they would like to live. Stu. dents 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 r~ervation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Roqm 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. Bed linen and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies and rugs. The ·student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room.

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, ~d 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.

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.

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.

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.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, 1784 ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND t A College of the Liberal Arts to be maintained forever for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination �Historical Background 0 "'. ..... \0 00 \0 00 >. e .... .. .. V5 < ~ ., ... ·a "O .. :J '5 >- .0 ] ·a "' ..c: 0 >.... < ~ ·a .. >< .. of the three American institutions of higher learning founded in the seventeenth century, St. John's College has a continuous history from 1696, when the Colonial Legislature of Maryland authorized the establishment of a school " for the education of youth in good letters and manners. " The school, known as King William' s School, which was founded in accordance with the Act, flourished until the Revolution and gave instruction to many whose names are connected with the founding of the Republic. In 1784 the State Legislature created St. John' s College, with which in the follo wing year by legislative action the funds, books and masters of King \Villiam' s School were consolidated. The name of King William's School disappeared, but the school itself survived in a preparatory department which continued to exist until recent years. NE "O ....l ....l :r: Ill z z p: :<: .. ., :g ..

James Brice. It was a center of Colonial entertainment and was frequen tly visited by George Washington . It is now used as the residence of the president of the College. �which had been begun in 17 44 by Thomas Bladen, Royal Governor from 1742 to 1747, as a governor's palace, but which had remained unfinished and had been known as "Bladen's Folly," since the Colonial Legislature forty years before had refused to vote funds to finish the building. The name "St. John's" is thought to have been given to the college by those among its founders who had been students at St. John's College, Oxford. The founders wrote into the charter the principles of religious freedom, which had from the beginning characterized the political background of Maryland and which have at all times been maintained at the college. The charter says " .... the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination . ... nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, or other professor, master, or tutor in said college, on account of his particular religious profession.'' In accordance with the policy declared by the charter, the first Board included, among other distinguished members, Dr. Thomas John Clagett, the first Protestant Episcopal Bishop to be ordained in the United States, and Archbishop John Carroll, the first Amer-ican Roman Catholic Archbishop. Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase and Thomas Stone, served on the Board in the early days of the college, as did also Colonel John Eager Howard, the Revolutionary officer, later Governor of Maryland, who was one of the American friends of General Lafayette. Maryland's fourth signer of the Declaration, William Paca, was one of those who petitioned the Legislature for the college charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's College in 1796, and · Reverdy Johnson, Attorney General of the United States and Ambassador to Great Britain, in 1812. In continuance of this tradition the college has trained many prominent in State and National affairs. The St. John's College of today, unchanged in fundamentals, continues with modern methods the purposes which induced George Washington to select the college for his namesake and ward, George Washington Parke Custis, and his two nephews, Lawrence and Fairfax Washington. It is creating for the twentieth century, as it did for the eighteenth century, a body of able and useful citizens. A VIEW OF THE COLLEGE GREEN Taken from a point under the "Liberty Poplar," looking west in front of the college buildings. �The Curriculum • A T ST. JOHN'S, the course of study is arranged with a view to providing the individual student with the courses necessary for a well rounded education in the Liberal Arts. The courses are offered by the Faculty through three divisions: the Division of Languages, Literature, and Art; the Division of the Social Sciences; and the Division of Sciences and Mathematics. In the Social Sciences, courses are offered in History, Government, Economics, Philosophy, and Psychology; in Sciences, courses are offered in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Seventeen full courses, distributed through the four years, are required for the degree. The normal freshman year includes from four to five courses. English Composition, which is required of all freshmen (unless they merit relief from this prescription by virtue of an examination in English Composition), is the only prescribed course. The other sixteen courses, however, are chosen by the student according to a plan of "guided electives," so-called because the stud_ is guided in his choice by the necessity of taking six of these ent courses in one subject at the prescription of his major department, which he chooses at the end of his freshman year. He must elect at least one elementary course in each of the divisions other than the one in which his major falls, and he must take one advanced course, depending on the elementary courses so chosen. This accounts for a roral of ten co1fri es. The other seven may be elected as the student s sees fit. He is, however, further guided by the counsel of a member of the Faculty, who acts as his adviser. �I RANDALL HALL The college dining hall, with a partial view of the playing fields bounded by College Creek, an arm of the Severn River, and by King George Street, part of the highway to Baltimore. The closeness of the playing fields to the college buildings facilitates the college's policy of physical training for all of its students. THE DINING HALL All students, whether living in fraternity houses or in dormitories, dine together. Special banquets are served to honor college teams and the winners of non-athletic student awards. �WOODWARD HALL, THE LIBRARY, UPPER READING ROOM The English Literature room. Access to the book shelves is free to all students as a part of the College's emphasis upon reading. W the college library, erected in 1899, houses more than 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 gift made during the reign of William the Third and under his auspices in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. They were early placed in the care of King \Villiarn' s School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. OODWARD HALL, The rapid growth of the Library has been greatly aided by gifts from the Carnegie Corpora ti on. WOODWARD HALL, THE LIBRARY In addition to its collection of books and its reading rooms, Woodward Hall contains; the offices of the members of the faculty, where students freely confer with their instructors. �., HAMMOND-H ARWOOD HOUSE The Hammond-Harwood House, begun in 1770, is one of the very finest examples of colonial architecture in America. Thomas Jefferson made a sketch of the building when visiting in Annapolis. The plans of his home, Monticello, and of other buildings designed by him show its influence. It is at present used as a museum of American antiquities and. in addition to being of general educational value, is of special value to students in History and in Art.

In the past five years St. John' s has won well over half of its football games, approximately three-fourths of its basketball games, and for the past three years has been undefeated in lacrosse, winning three consecutive National Championships. Last June St. John' s was selected to represent the United States in the International Lally Cup Lacrosse series with Canada. The Canadians were decisively defeated by the Orange and Black representatives, and the International Championship came to the United States for the first time. Interest in Boxing and Cross Country has been increasing rapidly; the teams in each sport have performed creditably since the sports were started. Athletic Activities Physical Training Physical training is required of all freshmen a~d Athletics in St. John's College. There is also an optional course for those who have completed their requirement and wish to continue participation in athletics. A thorough physical examination is given, however, by the College Physician, as a preliminary to this athletic activity, and dictates the type and the extent of the exercise undertaken by the student. One year of additional physical training is required after the freshman year. Varsity St. John's maintains five varsity teams; three major sport T earns teams, and two minor sport ones. Football, Basketball and Lacrosse are designated by the Athletic Council as major sports, while Boxing and Cross Country are designated as minor sports. In the past few years St. John's has h ad major sport victories over such opponents as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Army, Dartmouth, New York University, Swarthmore, Haverford, Dela- Freshman Freshman teams are maintained in football, basketball Teams and lacrosse on a major sport basis, and in boxing and cross country on a m inor sport basis. Games are scheduled with freshman teams of other colleges and universities and with some of the leading high schools of Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as with some of the leading preparatory schools. · St. John' s freshman teams have been winning the majority of their games in all branches of sport for the last few years. Intramural During the 1931-3 2 intramural athletic season all Athletics previous records were broken in the v arious sports. Pinkney Hall won the singles and Delta Psi Omega won the doubles in the fall tennis tournament, while Kappa Alpha was winning the fall playground ball tournament. Later the same organizations named above defeated a team composed of members of the faculty. Kappa Alpha succeeded in winning the volley ball honors, while Theta Psi succeeded in winning the foul shooting contest. When Soccer came to a close Theta Psi, Kappa Alpha, Delta Psi Omega and Pinkney were tied for first place. Kappa Alpha then won the basketball tournament, D elta Psi Omega w on the annual cross country meet and Randall Hall took high honors in the annual track meet. During the spring the handball tournaments are completed, playground ball gets under way, and tennis and horseshoe competition begins. The annual sw imming meet takes place in May. �193 2 VARSITY FOOTBALL T EAM In the past five years an average of approximately one-third of the entire student body of St. John's College has taken part in either freshman or varsity football each year. This shows the popularity of football as a sport at St. John's. Included on the football schedules of the past years have been teams representing such institutions as Yale, Rutgers, Lafayette, University of Maryland, Washington and Lee, University of Virginia, Virginia Military Institute, and many others. Johns Hopkins, the traditional rival of St. John's for a period of over forty years, has been met and defrated in three of the last four years. St. John's has also had numerous football victories over teams of the same standing from all sections of the country. ACTION PICTURES OF HOME FOOTBALL GAMES �----- -· 1931 VARSITY LACROSSE TEAM- WORLD'S CHAMPIONS. Lacrosse, the fastest game known, has a very popular act1v1ty among the students in St. John's College. More than one-third of the total number of students in the College have been regularly enrolled in the various squads of this spring sport. While it has not · been the principal aim of the sport to compile a winning record, still it is significant of the interest in the game, that within the past four years the team representing St. John's has won forty games and lost one, defeating the best representative teams of the United States, Great Britain and Canada. For three of these years the team has been recognized as National Champion by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association, and in 1931 captured the World's Championship by defeating a team composed of the picked stars of all of Canada.

JOHN'S COLLEGE cA.nnapolis, vrcaryland �To the Students, Alumni and Friends of St. John's College: The report to the Visitors and Governors of St.John's College which forms the main part of this folder has been sent to you because it not only reports upon a fiscal year which has been very satisfactory, but also because it gives the main facts as to the real estate in Annapolis about which a great deal of misunderstanding exists. This year, it is hoped, will not only mark the end of the long series of years during which the College has operated at a deficit, but will mark the beginning of the time when the College will annually operate with a balanced ~udget. Since the report was written, the aquisition of the renowned Ashhurst Classical Library (partly as a gift and partly by means of the regular Library appropriation) has been consummated; and this collection, formed by three generations of scholars, has greatly enriched the excellent College Library. In general, the position of the College is being strengthened and improved, and next year is looked forward to as one which should be highly successful. Cordially yours, DOUGLAS H. GORDON President �Bulletin of ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE IN ANNAPOLIS VOLUME III NUMBER 3 AUGUST 1933 Published four times a year by St. John·s College, Annapolis, Maryland. Entered as second-class matter January 31, 193 l at the Post Office at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912. �To the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College: Dear Sirs: I am happy to report that the long series of years during which the College has operated at a deficit is now at an end, and that St. John's College has operated so as tc finish with a surplus the fiscal year terminating on June 30, 1933. It is with a feeling of deep gratitude to students, to members of the Faculty, and to members of the Board that I make this statement, for it was by the cooperation of these three groups that it was possible to achieve this result, so vital to the College at present and for the security of its future. When I assumed the presidency of St. John's College two years ago, the obvious and striking difficulty of the College, which had become a serious danger, was this continuing operation at a substantial annual deficit. Without going into details, except to state that all non-cash items have been conservatively written off in no case by less than 75%, I report for comparison the annual results of operations as follows: 1928-1929 ... . .... .. ... . ... $109,095 .93 (deficit) 1929-1930 . . .. . ............ 102,758.70 (deficit) 1930-1931.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39,750.81 (deficit) 1931-1932.... . ..... . ...... 23,145.70 (deficit) 1932-1933.. .. .... . ..... . . . 1,834.23 (surplus) As I pointed out in my report of last year in explaining the loss for 1931-1932, the Board appropriated $15,10 5. 00 for salary increases, new appointments, and for a new library appropriation for that year. In addition, the then business manager did not include in the estimates submitted to the Board an essential expenditure of $6,000.00 necessary to install a completely new heating system, which could no longer be deferred. So that, even during the year 1931-1932, when placed on a comparative basis with the previous year, the College was operated substantially without deficit. It might be well to add that since I have been at the College, although one assistant coach, two administrative officials, and three administrative employees have been dismissed without being replaced, not a single laborer has been dismissed, and every member of the teaching staff has annually been reappointed for the following year. �Faculty salaries have been maintained at the 1929 level, with numerous substantial increases in 1930, and with several smaller increases in 1931, until the current year when the salaries of the faculty were reduced 18. 50%, leaving them substantially above the 1929 level in purchasing power and in many cases in actual amount of money paid. The same cut was made in the salaries of all other members of the staff, except in one case where a larger cut was made. Considerable improvements have been made in the equipment of the College. In addition to the new heating plant previously referred to, a completely modern heating system has been installed in the Brice House (made necessary by a controversy with the Carvel Hall Hotel as to the effect of a contract to heat, which will ultimately have to be settled by litigation). Office equipment has been bought when necessary, and always with the idea in mind that the greatest ultimate satisfaction will be derived from the best equipment that can be had. Pinkney Hall has been completely repainted, so that its brick work is in condition to require no more attention for another generation. At the same time, the interiors of both Pinkney and Randall were completely repapered. The second great difficulty which faced the College in 1931 was the extraordinary relationship of the College with the Davis-Smith Realty Company, a corporation which, with the assistance of the College and the active labor of the College officials and Board members, had acquired not only a large number of buildings immediately adjacent to the College but also over four hundred acres of land across College Creek. Contrary to general understanding, the Brice House, Hammond-Harwood House, Laws House, and Pinkney House are not owned by this corporation, but by the College. It was very generally thought that the owner of the stock of the Davis-Smith Company had acquired the real estate in question for the purpose of donating it to the College, with the exception of one piece which was similarly believed to be intended as a gift to the State. In 1932, it became known that the stock of the Company had been pledged by its owner in a manner inconsistent with the belief originally entertained. After extended negotiations, the disastrous leases into which the College had been persuaded to enter were cancelled as of January 1, 193 3, and new leases at proper rentals were entered into for the three buildings which the College needs. �The third difficulty of the College in 1931, occasioned by the fact that for two years there had been no president, was the uncertainty as to the division of authority in the College. With the adoption of the policy of holding regular faculty meetings, and with the smooth functioning of faculty committees, this situation has now been obviated. The Library of the College has been enriched by the bequest of the library of Samuel F . Garner of the class of 1871 ; and a group of valuable scientific and reference publications was given to the library by Mrs. Marcus Benjamin in memory of her husband, Doctor Marcus Benjamin (LLD., 1910). The gift by Mrs. Benjamin of a number of bookcases and pictures has added greatly to the utility and attractiveness of the faculty offices in the basement of Woodward Hall. At the present moment negotiations are under way for the acquisition of the well known Ashhurst Classical Library, and should, within the next few weeks, be completed. A Baltimore library which has often been described as the finest library in the State of Maryland has been promised to the College as a bequest by its present owner. In addition to the fact that the excellent Faculty of the College has not been reduced as has been the case in practically every institution of learning in this country, several new instructors have been employed. This action makes the Faculty today the largest in the history of the College. During the past year, the graduates of the College have continued to win the scholarships for research work which have in recent years been in such large numbers awarded to them, and which constitute the best sign of the scholarly standing of the College. From what has been said it may be seen that the greatest difficulties of the College have been eliminated. St. John's College may now look forward to a secure and bright future.

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.

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. JOHN'S COLLEGE Lectures and Concerts. ;! A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually, in McDowell Hall. Although they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1932-33 included Dr. F. A. Moss on "The Treatment of Mental Diseases"; Dr. Giovanni Macerata, "The Origin and Development of Venetian Architecture"; Dr. Henry E. Sigerist, "Medicine in the Renaissance." Musical recitals and concerts were given by Elizabeth Oppenheim, pianist; Austin Conradi, pianist; the Duchesse de Richelieu, soprano; and the Musical Art Quartet. Professor Richard Kuehnemund, aided by Mr. Benjamin Y. Morrison, gave an evening of interpretation of Franz Schubert's compositions. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which gave three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are also given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the reading room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her Assistants. 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. Pierpont Morgan Library"; and Dr. N. Bryllion Fagin, "The Russian Theater." Three members of the St. John's Faculty spoke: Dr. Ford K. Brown on" Sport in the Eighteenth Century," Dr. V. J. Wyckoff on "Technocracy," and Professor Richard Scofield on "Marcel Proust." Student Activities. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Student Council and the approval of the Advisory Council. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Student C<:>uncil. In matters not related to the curriculum the College grants the students a large measure of self-government. All questions arising under this arrangement are referred to the Student Council. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. Its membership consists of three Seniors, two Juniors, two Sophomores, and two Freshmen. Officers for the year 1933-34 are: Francis Gibbs LaMotte, Jr., '34, President; Allan Sheldon Woodle, III, '34, Secretary. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students afso engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedules are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to engage in . varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book, The RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. A literary magazine, The Catalyst, made its initial anpearance in November, 1932. The student publications are free from faculty control. Fraternities. Three national fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha (Southern), and Alpha Kappa Pi, and two local fraternities, Theta Psi, and Delta Psi Omega, are provided with houses by the College. From one-third to one-half of the students are fraternity men. Honorary Societies. Delta Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, recognizes high scholarship by electing to membership those Juniors who have been in the first group of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and at mid-year of their Junior year; �28 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE and those Seniors who have been in the first or second groups of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and at mid-year of their Senior year, and who have been in the first group in at least two of these periods. Delta Omicron, another honorary organization, recognizes the , student's participation in extra-curricular activities. A point system devised by this fraternity evaluates the worth of each position or membership held by the student. Clubs. The Osler Club, the Erlenmeyer Chemical Club, the Liberal Club, the German Club, and the Fr.ench Club provide interesting programs for their members. Dramatics. A dramatic club, managed by students, offers opportunity for acquiring experience in dramatics. The King William Players presented the following plays in 1932-33 : J onesy,, by Anne Morrison and John Peter Toohey, and Old English by John Galsworthy. Musical Organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Adolph Torovsky the students maintain a concert orchestra and a band. The orchestra gave three concerts in 1931-32. Alumni Association. The officers of the Association are Mr. Luther S. Tall, '21, President; Mr. Roland Miller Wegner, '24, Secretary; Mr. Claxton Joseph O'Connor, '3 r, Assistant Secretary; and Mr. William Frank Stromeyer, '16, Treasurer. The headquarters of the Association are at St. John's College. Local associations are organized throughout the country. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 29 ADMISSION Routine of Admission. 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.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 1928. The resolution of the Board as amended at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Resolved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior FellowshiPt shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommen- CATALOGUE OF ST. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 �62 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 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 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner.

The Program was designed to guarantee that there should again exist in America a college of liberal arts dedicated wholeheartedly and with singleness of purpose to furnishing young men with a liberal education, education of a sort which many American parents have been seeking for their sons in vain. We also hoped and believed that if St. John's College met this responsibility, other colleges of liberal arts would be heartened to meet it too. The response the Program has met among members of other college and university faculties in this country would not, I suspect, have been forthcoming a decade ago. But one thing has acted in our favor. The hour through which our civilization is passing is a dark one compared with the period during which our liberal arts colleges began to whore after strange gods ; and the darkness and uncertainty have reminded thinking men that these colleges are responsible for transmitting our civilization from one generation of men to the next. The crisis in world affairs has illumined the crisis in liberal education. Our primary task, however, was to set our own house in order. To do this, we had to make sure that every. decision the College made, in whatever sphere, should be made in the light of our single purpose. To envisage that purpose clearly and with constancy, our faculty have had to envisage likewise the kind of man St. John's must graduate if it is to meet squarely the responsibilities it has freely assumed. The fact that even our largest and wealthiest institutions are no longer graduating men of this kind was not significant, because these institutions have no longer a clear and single purpose in mind. It will be well to state here and now what sort of man this ideal graduate of St. John's is, before I report on the progress made towards that ideal by the undergraduates who have been �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 5 following the St. John's Program. For if these young men are not steadily approaching this ideal graduate, then we are failing and we should know it now. We cannot derive comfort where other colleges can, merely from the fact that our undergraduates are healthy and contented. Thanks to the elective system, our colleges have largely assumed towards their students the attitude a well-run department store assumes towards its customers. But St. John's has reverted to an earlier college pattern in assuming towards its undergraduates very much the attitude a doctor assumes towards his patients. It is offering them professional skill. But a good doctor's objective is not to .offer alternative nostrums for headache or fever, but to guide the patient towards achieving bodily health. And the task of St. John's College is a no less responsible and professional one: that of guiding its undergraduates towards intellectual health, intellectual health which, incidentally, will affect profoundly their moral and physical health as well. Let us suppose that one of the sophomores at St. John's, now nearing the end of his second year of the St. John's Program, stands before us on graduation day in June, 1941. Let us further suppose that in his case the Program has achieved its maximum success. What will such a man be like on that date? He will be able to think clearly and imaginatively, to read even difficult material with understanding and delight, to write well and to the purpose. For four years he will have consorted with great minds and shared their problems with growing understanding. He will be able to distinguish sharply between what he knows and what is merely his opinion. From his constant association with the first-rate, he will have acquired a distaste for the second-rate, the intellectually cheap and tawdry; but he will have learned to discover meaning in things that most people write ·off as vulgar. He will get genuine pleasure from using his mind on difficult problems. He is likely to be humorous: he will certainly not be literal-minded. He will not be a trained specialist in anything; but he will be in a better position to acquire such specialized training, whether in law, medicine, engineering, business or elsewhere, more quickly than it can be acquired by even the best American �6 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT college graduates today. For he will know how to apply his mind to whatever he wishes to master. His appetites and his emotions will be under his control. not because he has had "character training" in the Hitler Youth or the Avanguardia but because he knows the reasons for selfcontrol, and, because of those reasons, has deliberately acquired the powers of self-mastery. Will he be a "success"? Well, he will on the whole be unlikely to make his million because a million is not readily made except by those who sacrifice to its making the very things this future graduate of St. John's will have learned to value more than wealth. On the other hand he will be likely to earn a good livelihood, if only because he knows how to use his head and has learned how to work during the very years which most college boys spent learning to loaf and dodge. When he is not working, he will be able to distinguish between leisure and idleness. He will be eminently practical, not because he "took" practical courses in college, but because he will have acquired the rare intellectual capacity to distinguish means from end. He will have learned to locate the problem, resolve it into its parts, and find a relevant solution. He will, in short, be resourceful. He will be concerned to exercise a responsible citizenship and he will be as much concerned with his political duties as with his political rights. He will cherish freedom, for himself and others, but it will be not merely freedom from concentration camps; it will be freedom from ignorance and passion and prejudice as well. For, in a quite genuine sense, he will himself be a free man. He will know something of the world he graduates into, not in the sense merely of a current events contest; but because he will know the background and development of the political institutions and economic practices he confronts. He will even have means of understanding the movements in contemporary thought. And he will be familiar with the basic scientific concepts that underlie modern technology. Not only will he be better prepared than his contemporaries to enter business or a professional school. Not only will he be �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 7 better prepared to fulfill his obligations as a citizen. He should make a better friend, a better husband, a better father : free men do. He will in short be better prepared to live; and, when his hour · comes, whether through illness or civil disaster or in an army trench, he will know better how to die: free men do. A glowing portrait? Yes, and it would be a remarkable achievement for a college of liberal arts actually to graduat e such a man. But any college of liberal arts that attempts less is betraying its trust and is doomed to graduate successive classes whose members less and less resemble this glowing portrait. It is to produce this sort of man that St. John's is operating. Whether it ever attains this standard is not important here. What matters is whether the work the sophomores and freshmen are actually doing is the sort of work that leads steadily, and as rapidly as may be, in that direction. I think it is. Such work used to ·be done in our colleges of liberal arts: it is being done now at St. John's. The race knows, or should know, by experience what kind of men such work produces. But in order to judge the success of the St. John's Program this month, we would do well to look at the students in it, to look at the work they have already done and at what they are doing, and to see how far these actually existing undergraduates have progressed towards the ideal graduate we have just imagined. The St. John's Program has been frequently referred to by the press as a "novel educational experiment."· It was, of course, not novel at all; what was novel was the elective system which has grown up in our colleges during the past few decades and confused the purpose of the liberal arts college. Nor was it an experiment. Those responsible for developing the Program were convinced that the perpetual experimentation wh ich has characterized our colleges during this century has been reckless, irresponsible, and professionally unethical. The St. John' s Program was not introduced to discover whether a student w ould benefit by reading Plato and Galileo and Shakespeare, more than through reading contemporary textbooks about these writers and the ideas they dealt with. On the contrary, there was quite enough experience within the tradition of liberal arts education to enable an educated man to reconstruct a well -rou nded curriculum. �8 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT St. John's therefore abolished the elective system and put in its place a four-year all-required curriculum. Its basic requirement would be the reading, and discussing in seminar, of a hundred or so great books, the classics of our civilization, from the Greeks to the present. Some of these books deal directly with the liberal arts themselves, the arts of thinking, of reading, of writing, of reckoning. Others are magnificent examples of the successful practice of those arts. Appendix A of this report gives the list of these great books arranged by student years. Appendix B gives the same list arranged under the headings commonly used in a departmentalized elective system. An understanding of these books is the prime goal of the student during his four years' training. But to supplement his efforts, other teaching devices are used besides the seminar. Once or twice a week, he hears a formal expository lecture, a lecture in which the speaker makes no effort to talk down and in which the stude.nt' s obligation is not to take notes but to understand . Five times a week, in small classes or "tutorials, " the undergraduate studies language, although the language he studies varies each year. Five times a week he studies mathematics in the same way, beginning with Euclid's Elements of Geometry . Once a week, for three hours, he works in a scientific laboratory. This laboratory is mathematical and mechanical the first year ; physical, the second; it is a laboratory of physical chemistry, the third; of biochemistry, the fourth. It is closely correlated with the scientific works in the list of great books. St. John's is probably the only liberal arts college in America which requires four years of laboratory work of every student. T h e regimen here outlined continues for all four years for every student in the College. Unlike the elective system, it does not permit the student to ignore subject-matters he finds difficult : it ch allenges him to find out , under competent guidance , why subjects he thought "uninteresting" are actually nothing of the sort. He is not allowed to exploit his eccentricit ies and peculiarities, or his "personality" as it is· now frequently called, by cherishing his lamenesses and blindnesses and intellectual deformities. He is encouraged to think of his weaknesses as weaknesses and to set about correcting them as speedily as possi- �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 9 ble. He is encouraged to think of freedom, not as freedom to be ignorant, but as the trained capacities of his mind that will free it for any task. It was possible, and necessary, to lay down this curriculum before approaching the special problems of teaching staff and student body. This statement of course sounds doctrinaire to those who believe that, for him who seeks a liberal education, one subject is as much worth studying as another, one book is as much worth reading as another, that civilization is a matter of automobiles and radios, that we live in a brave new world, that our ancestors have nothing to teach us, and that it is cowardly not to start from scratch. St. John's is determined not to start from scratch, but to give its students access to the accumulated intellectual capital of their civilization, to see that they come into their cultural heritage, and to redeem them from the intellectual bastardy in which the average college graduate today rejoices. But a college, in addition to having something worth teaching, must have those who teach it; and these should be properly qualified. One of the most intelligent comments one ordinarily hears on the St. John's Program comes to us in the form of a troubled question: "This is undoubtedly what students should be getting in college; but where do you find men capable of teaching it?" It is a good question. It recognizes that, except for a few elderly men, there are no longer teachers in America who themselves possess a basic, general education, who indeed possess their cultural heritage. For our faculties are composed of men who are themselves the maimed products of a too-early specialization and therefore victims of the higher illiteracy. Even the elderly men, while frequently possessed of a genuine culture on the side of the humanities, have rarely assimilated to that culture the intellectual experience of our civilization which we call the scientific revolution. Where, then, get teachers capable of guiding students to these buried treasures? The simplest answer is that St. John's College has today the strongest faculty in America. Every American college or university faculty may be divided into those who wrote the books which the student is required to read and those who teach orally, �10 'I REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT into those whom we may call the authors and those whom we may call. not invidiously, the talkers. In other colleges the talkers do the teaching, and an increasing proportion of the authors are other talkers. talking members of neighboring college faculties. Both faculty groups are roughly of the same calibre, those who wrote the textbooks and those who give the lectures. At St. John's this is not true. The authors have been carefully selected from the writings of twenty-five centuries, selected for their clarity, their profundity. and their teaching capacity. This year's freshmen have been taught by such well known men as Plato. Thucydides, Aristotle. Aeschylus, and Euclid. The sophomores. who had already been taught by these men last year. have been listening to Tacitus, Plotinus, Dante, St. Thomas Aquinas, Ptolemy, Leonardo, and Copernicus. Next year they will "study under" Shakespeare, Cervantes, Moliere; Calvin, Francis Bacon, and Locke; Kepler, Harvey, and Newton. In their senior year and for their benefit Gibbon, Adam Smith, Marx, Bentham, James, Freud, Lavoisier, Darwin, Mendel, and other moderns will join our faculty. To aid them in understanding these great teachers. we have a " talking" faculty of teachers who do not preten4 to be as good as, or bett~r than, the authors they assign their students to read- a freq uent and justifiable pretension in most colleges today-but who conduct seminar discussions, tutor in language and mathematics, lecture rarely, supervise laboratory work, and, like the students, learn from the "authors" whom the whole College studies. As in other colleges, the talking faculty is on our pay-roll; the authors are not. The arrangement has proven workable. We of course face one constant danger: because of the bad academic habits which we members of the talking faculty have acquired from the current educational system, we display an intermittent tendency to usurp the functions of the author faculty, to substitute ourselves for them, to stand in their light when they are working, to over-interpret and even sometimesGod save the mark!- to patronize them a little. But then, we are the product of a system we are attempting to replace and we try manfully to curb our pedantry and pride. In an ordinary college course today, this is not the case. The best courses are usually built around the personality and intellectual interests of a professor. whose lectures are supported by a textbook manual. �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 11 Such a professor is likely to admit that the textbook manual he assigns and quizzes on is both boring and trivial. But he is convinced students <::an read nothing better: in fact they have difficulty "getting" this! In such a situation, the teacher's capacities limit the pupil's, and the quality of the reading causes dry-rot in both. Our author faculty have more than met their teaching responsibilities. Despite their differing intellectual backgrounds, they have transcended time and place, they have been clear expositors, imaginative artists, humble fellow.workers with us talking teachers and with the undergraduates. It is of course because of them, and not because of us talkers, that I report to the Board that our total faculty is by all odds the strongest in America. I ought to add that although some of our authors still teach at many American colleges it is not necessary in these . colleges to take courses under them. At St. John's one must study under all of them, and 411 have proven worth studying under. Even with our main faculty requirements brilliantly met, . there has still remained the problem of the talking staff, who fulfill a genuine function, even though with more humility than at our sister institutions. For unquestionably, the treasures our authors had written were for our generation partially buried. We needed men who wanted to help our students dig them up. · The best that we could do, the best indeed that could be done, was to call for volunteers, volunteers for a treasure hunt, remembering for our comfort that this treasure hunt has never wholly ceased during the intellectual history of our Western civilization. We were fortunate in that the faculty of St. John's College was already a better-than-average faculty, and freer than most faculties from the racketeer aspects of so-called research, racketeer aspects that have been fostered by the print-or-perish policies of our college and university administrations. We added to our faculty, in the summer of 19 3 7 and again in the summer of 1938, enough men who had already started the hunt aggressively elsewhere to plunge at once into active instruction, and we invited the rest of the faculty to join us and go to school again. During the session of 19 3 7 -3 8 Dean Buchanan held a �I2 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT faculty seminar for the reading, or re-reading, of the great books. During the current session the majority of the faculty have helped teach freshman seminars. At times we have doubtless been guilty of reading these books with the narrowed gaze of the specialist, seeing in the books only those things we have been taught by secondary works to see. We are, after all, professors; and this is 1939. But the cure for pedantry has, I think, worked steadily and well. Our faculty is at least better prepared to teach the books on our list than any other American faculty would be: there has been that much headway anyhow. And our teaching capacities and versatilities are increasing rather than diminishing. Some members of our faculty, who felt themselves less adapted to this task than to the teaching of a specialty in a college department, withdrew last June, and several are withdrawing at the end of this session. The twenty-six who will be with us next session are extraordinarily well fitted for the arduous task that confronts us. We remember always that this task is indeed arduous, but we remember also that the real teachers of our undergraduates are the great minds of the past two thousand years, through the written works they left for men like us to read. They have met that task before; they are meeting it today at St. John's. We talking members of the faculty are trying to facilitate that reading, but at most we cannot hope, and should not wish, to do for the student what the books themselves can do. At St. John's today the quality of the reading steadily leads professor and student alike towards deepened understanding and improved capacities. For, while some of the books read at St. John's are difficult, none of them is either trivial or boring. In short, the routine undergraduate teaching at St. John's, instead of interrupting and stultifying the teaching staff, is steadily improving it. It is indicative of the renaissance of learning that the College has undergone that faculty members who have not studied mathematics since they were boys and who, in some cases, had hoped never to open a mathematical work again. have recaptured and developed their mathematical skills; while a number of them set to work for the first time on Greek and mastered it. The constant ideal of the faculty is that every man on it should eventually have read all the books on the St. �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 13 John's list, regardless of his chosen field. In assigning teaching tasks, special capacities are naturally exploited; but it is assumed that the right to teach a part of the Program depends ultimately on a knowledge of the whole of which one's part is a part. Only those who are familiar with the sort of specialists our present educational system has burdened us with, will know what courage a faculty must exhibit to set itself such a goal, or how excessively rare such courage is in the academic scene today. And what of the students? For this report is primarily concerned with the actual progress made to date by the actual students following the St. John's Program, progress which we are measuring in terms of the ideal St. John's graduate pictured above. Let it be said first that our initial assumption, or perhaps central faith, has been vindicated in daily practice. It is a credo without which it would appear idle to found, endow, or administer colleges of liberal arts. Yet we have in recent decades founded, endowed, and administered colleges without that credo ; and we have administered without it those which our ancestors founded with it. The medieval statement of that credo was that man has a rational soul and that it is therefore possible to appeal to his powers of reason, to awaken them, to move them, and to transform them into virtues or habits of the intellect. Note that the credo extends to all men and was intended to include even the as yet unborn American freshman. These powers may be stronger in some than in others; they may be blocked temporarily by fever or intoxication or permanently by certain diseases. But in the normal American . freshman they exist and may be developed. All of which leads to a second declaration of faith: that it is possible to teach. It is even possible to teach not merely the contents of a railway time-table, but how to think better, that is how to use the liberal arts freely and well. This is a tremendous article of faith , and one which the whole drift of American higher education has for two decades denied. Its denial would alone account for the rapid decay of liberal education in our country; and it is worth observing that, shortly after teachers lost the faith that it was possible to teach their pupils how to think better, they began to doubt whether it was really possible to teach an undergraduate anything, or anything �14 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT of consequence. For where liberal learning droops, other forms of learning, even ordinary technology, sooner or later flag and fail. The students in the St. John's Program have read the books listed in Appendix A on schedule time to date. There were minor revisions of the freshman list this year over last year. The list is subject to constant revision and will be kept so. The performance in the freshman seminars has improved steadily, although, as in the case of last year's freshmen, there is wide variation in skills and in knowledge. On the whole, the freshmen are already exhibiting what the sophomores naturally exhibit to a much higher degree, the ability to speak clearly, to argue on the point, to make and understand distinctions, to distinguish abstractions from their concrete applications. On the whole, their capacity for sharp and orderly thinking has increased more rapidly than their powers of imagination. To attack this latter problem, we have had recourse in the field of extra-curricular activities to work in dramatics, to poetry reading, to music. The sophomores have improved considerably in their power to write; it is too early to make the same claim for the freshmen. The organization of the language tutorials is such as to develop that power. In the fall, the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of a language are quickly mastered. For the freshmen the language is Greek, ·the language in which were actually written the books they are reading in English translation. For the same reason, the sophomores rapidly acquire, or refurbish, their Latin. In the winter term both ar~ constantly exercised in translations, literal, free, and stylistic. This, of course, is an ancient device for learning how to write one's mother tongue, a device that a number of our greatest English and American writers used. In the spring term, the students write original themes in English on the subject-matters contained in the great books. This rotation from a new language, through translation into English, to original English composition is beginning to develop writing powers, but we have still a long way to go. Fortunateiy, the most striking characteristic of the Program, superficially observed, is the acceleration with which learning proceeds. This has been perhaps best exemplified m the improved understanding of mathematics. \ �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 15 The sophomores, and to some extent even the freshmen, have developed powers of work extraordinary in American undergraduates. They have developed a courage in tackling really difficult tasks that promises well. At the beginning of the year our freshmen were quite candid about never having learned to work, and the Program pushed some of them pretty hard. But they are getting on top of their work, or most of them are, very ·satisfactorily. In a community where it is taken for granted that everybody is trying to learn, it is remarkable how many people end by learning. For me personally the most interesting experience the Program has yielded has been to watch the intellectual awakening, at different periods of the College session, of different members of the group. This intellectual awakening is sometimes so conspicuous as to be a matter of College gossip. It is as if a given undergrad~ate had come out from under anaesthetic. I think most of us had had a similar experience in watching an undergraduate suddenly cash in, in terms of athletic skill, on long drills and practices; it is even more exciting to watch when it occurs above the eyebrows. Students suddenly find themselves understanding lectures, where such lectures were before mere jumbles of unfamiliar words. They suddenly find themselves understanding the books in an unaccustomed fashion. And they show their new understanding in the way they use words themselves. There are no unique or "novel" teaching methods employed. All our methods, whether discussion, lecture, laboratory, or recitation and drill, have already been proven by centuries of experience. But it is almost unique, I think, in the contemporary educational scene, to find a faculty and a student body unconcerned w ith "credits," decreasingly concerned even with grades-old habits cling-and increasingly concerned with learning. The individual oral examination which each student is given three times a year by a group of his instructors has helped greatly to keep things in focus. Equally powerful, I think, has been a device we stole from English university practice, the device which British undergraduates term a "don-rag." During the past two years we have adapted it more nearly to our needs . It is w orth describing here. �16 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT About a week after the oral examination, the student appears individually before a group of his instructors, a group of which his seminar leader serves as chairman. Each of the student's instructors reports briefly to the seminar leader on the student's capacities and deficiencies. The student's case is discussed among the instructors but in his presence. Occasionally, his advice may be sought. The purpose of the don-rag is not to read the student a curtain lecture or to give him his "grades"-the giving out of grades on this occasion is, on the contrary, discouraged. The don-rag is a clinic, at which the objectives are diagnosis and prescription. Its effect has been to help the student locate his own intellectual diseases and take responsible action, with the advice and aid, but not with the evangelical incitement or law-court recrimination, of the faculty. I have discussed in this report the educational purpose of St. John's College; its ideal product; the subject-matter it uses, the qualifications of its faculty, the progress of its undergraduates towards the College's ideal graduate. I wish to touch on two other topics before closing. First, something should be said of the learning environment which the College, always with its eye on the single purpose it has set itself, is slowly creating. This environment has involved a renovation and adaptation of its plant on the one hand and, on the other, the evolution of a community life capable of supporting real intellectual growthin short, the development of college activities, as they are commonly called, which will enrich instead of impoverishing, support rather than substitute. In the case of the plant, we have made some headway; but the growth of the student body which promises to begin next September means that we must start planning immediately how to get the fullest and best use out of our buildings and grounds, and what sort of buildings to add first. This planning is now going on. In the case of the community life, that also is slowly taking form. Our biggest strides this session have been the provision of more suitable common rooms in which the social life of the College community might find a focus. These common rooms include a College bookshop, a coffee-shop, a music room, and a reading room. Our next immediate move must be the provision of more adequate athletic facilities. As the Board will recall, last Fall the Col- �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 17 lege abolished intercollegiate athletics as of June, 1939, and is engaged in planning an expanded athletic program on an intramural basis. The reasons for taking this step were stated in one of my monthly radio addresses to our alumni, which I include in this report as Appendix C. But the immediate effect of this step, necessary as it was, is to precipitate the problem of expanding, as rapidly and as carefully as possible, the athletic facilities of the College. St. John's, like its sister institutions, has for many decades been "meshed in" with a system of intercollegiate athletics. This meshing in has had two effects, here as elsewhere. Its first effect was to orient athletic policy away from the pleasure and physical profit of the student and towards the pleasure of the public and the supposed profit of newspaper pub- · licity for the institution. The second effect sprang out of the first: it has proven impracticable here as elsewhere, through socalled intra-mural programs, to focus the mind of the staff on the real problem of providing sports faci1ities for all the students. Even where institutions have controlled the financial resources to do both things at once, the psychological orientation has proven fatal. Now that the red herring of intercollegiate schedules has been removed, we can see with painful clarity how much must be done if the Co Hege' s athletic facilities are to invite every incoming freshman to use his body as well as his mind, to discover the zest of playing outdoor games as well as the zest of holding one's own in rigorous discussion, to acquire physical skills as well as intellectual ones, to enjoy complete health of body and mind. We are determined that this problem shall be fully met. The word publicity suggests the second and last point I would touch on before closing. We Americans rarely do anything without an awareness of its "publicity value." Sometimes that awareness proves fatal to our proposed end. In the case of the St. John's Program, it was obvious from the start that any attempt to get back to fundamentals in a liberal arts college would turn the attention of the public towards that college. Our constant care has been to reduce the harm that irresponsible publicity, beyond our control, might do . On the whole, we have been moderately successful. Although much that has been written about the College-and it has for the past year been more written about than perhaps any other educational �18 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT institution in America-has been silly and inaccurate, a good deal has been intelligent and restrained. But the real task of "public relations" remains to be accomplished, because it is a long-term task. It cannot be avoided: the relations of a public institution are naturally public. But in the case of St. John's, I do not think those relations will be properly discovered or defined until teachers in the secondary schools, both private and public, learn what ·the College is doing and guide the parents of their boys into learning it. Most of the newspaper publicity which has deluged the College has probably done as much harm as good. But if St. John's College is to attain its maximal usefulness to the State and the nation, the sort of usefulness envisaged by those who wrote its eighteenth-century charter, it must depend on the secondary school teacher and on its own graduates to act as intelligent consultants towards those students who propose to enter it. Meanwhile, the novelty, or apparent novelty, of the Program condemns it to wide discussion, unintelligent as well as intelligent, irresponsible as well as responsible. For the information of the Board, I attach to this report, as Appendix D, a partial bibliography of articles about the St. John's Program or mentioning it in significant context. These articles and the more diffuse publicity of general newspaper mention have apparently ensured that we shall have more applicants for next year's freshman class than we shall feel justified in admitting, but even the best of these comments are a less efficient medium than the secondary school teacher for guiding to St. John's the young man who really seeks a liberal education. As to what sort of young man this should be, I shall have more to say to the Board in the future. Suffice it to say now that it is the policy of the College, with regard to its admissions, to avoid too great a homogeneity in terms of geographical distribution, social background, economic status, or even in terms of apparent intellectual capacity. The description I gave of the don-rag earlier in this report indicated , I hope, that a good don-rag is not concerned with recriminations or felicitations but with pointing out unsolved problems and undeveloped potentialities. I should like to suggest here that the College administration, the College faculty , and �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 the Board of Visitors and Governors are equally liable with our undergraduates to frequent and thorough don-rags. We ought to ask ourselves constantly whether we are acting with all the wisdom and energy of which we are capable. I think it is true that St. Jol: n's today offers a young man a sounder liberal education than any other American institution, but its educational program is capable of much greater development than it has attained. For two reasons it must attain it. First, it must give the young men who enter it the best and strongest and soundest possible training with which to meet the vicissitudes of human life. Secondly, it already occupies in the minds of many men in academic life the position of model. If it would serve as a good model, for the restoration of liberal learning in America at an hour when liberal learning was never more sorely or more clearly needed, it must not content itself with a second-best solution at any point. I invite the Board to join the faculty and the present student body in meeting that challenge fully, a challenge that must appeal to all free men everywhere who love the sources of their own freedom and of the freedom to which their children are by nature heirs.

SERIES II, No . 3 By STRINGFELLOW BARR, President From Station WFBR in Baltimore I propose to discuss an important step which St. John' s College has taken within the past ten days. Many of those who are listening to me, incl uding alumni members of the College, will by now almost certainly have been told by somebody that the College administration has abolished athletics. T hose who believed this statement should, it seems to me, be gravely distu rbed. I think I ought promptly to disabuse them. To keep the record straight, I shall therefore first state the facts. Athletics have not been abolished, bu t the College has decided that after the close of the present academic session athletic facilities will be increased and at the same time will be placed on a strictly intramural basis. I am explaining tonight why significant changes have been announced in the athletic system at St. John's, to take effect next September; but in explaining these changes I am discussing liberal education in a democrac y. The system of intercollegiate athletics which has developed during the past twenty years will no longer support the prime purpose of a liberal col lege. I suppose I ought to have foreseen this. But I didn ' t . Certainly, there have been enough Carnegie reports, enough magazine articles by can did wri ters like John Tunis to convince men of my generation that we are sheer sentimentalists and ignoramuses if we suppose that intercollegiate athletics are the same thing we remember from twenty years back. They do things better now, with rose bowls, cotton bowls, and sugar bowls; with costly equipment, transcontinental journeys, and big money ; with costly coaches and costl y quarterbacks. I knew all this. The first thing I learned about athletics on arrival at St. John's was that we were booked to play our unnatural rivals, Army and N. Y. U.-in an effort to keep down the high cost of modern athletics by earning a good "gate." But still I thought it might be pos,ible to adapt intercollegiate athle tics to educational ends, to pare down schedules, to decline with thanks such games as Army and N . Y. U ., and to protect the coaches from criticism if they lost games by refusing to hire athletes . I was mistaken. The thing that taught me I was mistaken was what happened when intercollegiate athletics collided with a curriculum that really required work . Yet I should have known this by analogy. I had known countless students who w ithdrew from intercollegiate athletics when they entered medical or other p rofessional w ork . They withdrew because they knew, aloµg w ith everybody else, that you have to study to earn an M.D ~ while ordinarily you don't have to study to earn a B.A. The undergraduate fills in his idle time with athletics, which at its most professionalized is a lot better thi~g to fi ll idle time with than some other things I know. But suppose there isn' t an y idle time? Suppose there is just enough leisure time for healthful outdoor gam ~ s? �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 Then every athletic trip becomes a crisis and not what is known as an "athletic excuse. For students who are really doing serious work know without being told that you can't "make np·' for something you should have learned but didn' t, by using the magic word "excuse." An excuse may square you with the Dean. It won't convert ignor~nce into knowledge. There is no reason on this round earth why securing a liberal education in an undergraduate college should be a less serious business than acquiring a medical education in a medical school. But if it is a serious business, then it had better steer clear of another very serious business, indeed a highly organized "big" business, intercollegiate athletics. For this big business has its own exigencies: those who won' t meet them had better keep out. That big business substitutes spectator psychosis for actual part1Clpation, cheering sections for playing teams, an orgy of sports-goods equipment for costumes fit to have fun in, large business staffs with long-term schedules for the old-time impromptu challenge of natural antagonists, monotonous physical drill for learning to play by playing, pressure from fellow-students for zest to play, the exhibitionism of star performers for the satisfaction of playing well because it is more fun to play a game well than badly. The sum total of these things is hysteria, lost motion, the death of the amateur spirit, and an athletic system that competes with study instead of supplementing and strengthening it. We have all known these things for years, unless we have been ostriches or Rip Van Winkles. But I repeat, they don't prove fatal so long as undergraduate education is run in low gear. In fact, I should insist again that, so long as education is run in low gear, these things are better than idleness. But there is something better still, and that something is amateur athletics, amateur athletics of a quality no college can achieve so long as it is meshed in with the new kind of athletics, the big-business kind. The educational program now going on at St. John's must have the support of amateur athletics. It must have it, because amateur athletics is rich in terms of health, recreation, skill, and co-ordination. To get that support, it will expand its intramural athletics. More varieties of sport will be offered and more facilities. Our colleges are often abusively called country clubs. I want to see St. John's offer the sort of athletic facilities a good country club offers. Every game we now play we shall continue to play, except that the six-man football we started this year will replace the standard game. In addition we want to expand water sports, with particular emphasis on sailing. The alumni have already given us one sailboat ; we shall acquire five more. Finally, it is essential, not only that games be played at the College but that they be well played. A tutor with wide athletic experience will be placed in charge, but he will need a number of student assistants. To secure good assistants, we propose to offer athletic scholarships. In my own limited experience, this will be the first legitimate use to which athletic scholarships have been put by an American college. I think you may rest assured there will be plenty of excellent candidates. I hope you will help me find the best candidates. �24 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Sooner or later, I hope sooner, the present system of semi-professionalized intercollegiate athletics will hang itself. When it does, the problems that caused us to take our present stand will disappear. When it does, we shall doubtless play games with other colleges as naturally as such games were once played. Meanwhile athletics at St. John's will be for the student, not the student for athletics. �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 25 APPENDIX D BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ARTICLES ON THE ST. JOHN'S PROGRAM 1937 ST.

The visitors have come singly and in delegations. They have included administrative officers and teachers from other colleges of liberal arts, undergraduates from other institutions, headmasters and principals from the secondary schools. A year ago they came to witness "a novel educational experiment." Most of this year's visitors are aware that the St. John's Program is neither novel nor experimental. Most of them are as aware as we are that the elective system which we have discarded is novel, that it is experimental, and that the experiment has failed. Most of them are aware that St. John's is attempting to restore liberal education, of the sort once available in American colleges of liberal arts. But the questions they ask soon convince us that they are hazy as to what end such education had in view. Since that end dictated the instructional means we are employing, these means have been often misread. We have been heartily congratulated for doing things which we are not doing at all. Individually, our visitors have been most welcome. Collectively, they have by their very number posed serious problems. Our faculty have gladly recognized the professional obligation to tell other teachers what they were doing. They -are fully aware that teachers, like doctors, cannot have trade secrets. But they are also aware that neither the teaching art nor the medical art can be properly practised in a goldfish bowl. We have had therefore to place certain restrictions on the visiting of classes. That much of the problem is not hard to handle. What is disturbing, though understandable, is how little many of our visitors have learned from their visits. In many cases they would have learned far more by devoting the same amount of time to the right reading. If we have often failed to instruct our visitors, at least they have instructed us. Their difficulties have reminded us how �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 5 persistently those who, like ourselves, dedicate themselves to liberal education, substitute means for ends. No matter how earnestly St. John's College strives to avoid that substitution, we shall not be exempt from the common danger. It behooves us not to assume complacently that because we pledged ourselves to a clear purpose three years ago, we cannot be confronted with a broken pledge, or worse yet, a broken purpose. Moreover, even if we have kept the faith, there is still advantage to be got from a clear restatement now. During these three years both the Board and the faculty of St. John's College have gained experience relevant to that common purpose, experience which throws abundant light on the end at which both aim. I therefore invite the Board of Visitors and Governors to reflect again, with us in the faculty, on the end of liberal education, as well as upon the means we at St. John's are using to reach that end. For more than two thousand .years our Western civilization bas drawn sustenance from liberal education. That education, like the civilization it sustained, has had its dark ages and its rebirths; but wherever and whenever it has flourished healthily, its declared purpose has been to liberate the human intellect through the practice of the liberal arts. Wherever and whenever it has flourished, it has recognized these arts as the arts of thinking, of using symbols, and particularly as the arts of using words and numbers. It has recognized that man, as man, has intellectual powers, which. like his physical powers, can be brought through exercise to operate well, and even to operate habitually well. To develop these powers into actual operations, then into good operations, and :finally into habitually good operations has been the end of liberal education. To effect this end, colleges of liberal arts were set up in Europe and in America. Such colleges clearly did not hold a monopoly of the liberal arts, since the arts of thinking are practised well or badly · by all men. They were set up in order to expedite the transformation of intellectual powers into intellectual habits. In order to practise the liberal arts, the colleges selectes subject matters upon which they might be profitably exercised . For obvious reasons, the most basic of these subject matters, in terms of the objective, were languages and mathematics. But �6 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT the aim of the college of liberal ·a rts was not to turn out professionally trained mathematicians or professionally trained linguists. The aim was to develop in men the power to use mathematical and linguistic symbols well on whatever problem human existence might pose them. For a long time in both Europe and America, Latin, Greek, and mathematics were basic subject matters. That the colleges should have chosen Latin and Greek as the best available languages for the practice of the liberal arts was due to a number of considerations, but not least to the fact that each was the vehicle of a great literature, a literature in which truly great ideas had been greatly dealt with. Both these languages, as means, had been moulded to that high end. Both, in brief, had served intellects of the first order, as had, in another set of symbols, mathematics. But the time came when the colleges forgot why they had chosen them and began to teach them professionally. Then men found they were being trained as Latinists, as Hellenists, as mathematicians. Some of them quickly decided that, if professional training was the objective, there were other fields than philology and mathematics in which they would find training more useful. And they were correct. Mathematics, Greek, and Latin began properly to give way to the various subjects now taught in the modern elective system. Having ceased to serve as means towards the end of liberal education, they had become ends in themselves. Next they became means to the practice of a profession; and as such they came into sharp competition with other professional training. Unhappily, this custom left us without liberal education. No other appropriate means to that end replaced Latin, Greek, and mathematics. For the end itself had been forgotten. The difficulty today of re-stating that end is that - as always happens when liberal education declines - there is no contemporary vocabulary in which to do it. The term "liberal arts" has become soft and empty. The very term "intellect" is under universal suspicion. In so far as it continues to signify anything, it has come to signify "the cold light of the intellect," something far removed from "the healthy emotional life" which contemporary man states he wants. Yet no term has replaced it, because on the whole men have not recently felt the need for �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 7 discussing it. Indeed, our colleges have for many years not seriously concerned themselves with the human intellect. They have concerned themselves instead with professional training or sometimes with imitations of professional training. Their most solid "course offerings" have on the whole been designed to prepare young men for a real or imaginary job with real or imaginary wealth ahead. Since there is no contemporary equivalent of the term "intellect," and since St. John's College has re-dedicated itself to developing, in those who come to it, their intellectual powers, I do not think we can yield the traditional term, even if we should be misunderstood. To those who ask us what we mean by the term, we shall have to answer in metaphor, and fortunately we can fall back on that metaphor which countless generations of men have found useful in discussing intellectual operations. We shall beg our questioner to forget for a moment the terms which professional educators now use: trends, attitudes, measurement, student-interest, I.Q.'s, and the like; and to reflect on light. We shall remind him that men get light on things when they reflect; that they see things in a flash; that ideas dawn on them; or that they still feel they are in the dark; that they are blind to the facts, although they admire lucid explanations. Something illuminates their problem; they get a bright idea, or, alas, a hazy, obscure one. That flash of inward light they get is intellectual light. All men have that flash sometimes; some men have it frequently; and a few, through painfully acquired habits of the reason and imagination, can induce it when it is needed. It is that light, and the habits that induce it, that is under discussion when we say that liberal education has always had as its purpose, not the dissemination of facts, not professional training, but the liberation of the human intellect, that it might see that light and see it steadily. Such liberation is the true purpose of every college of liberal arts. The temporary substitution of any other purpose leads straight to confusion and impotence. The ultimate outcome is .either, on the one hand, the ivy-clad impotence of a "cultural" finishing school, or the respectable alternative of professional, vocational, or technical education. �a REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Neither those who have accepted the finishing school, nor those who have accepted professional training, as the proper end of liberal education will understand this year or next the pledges exchanged between you of the Board and us of the faculty three years ago; and I suggest we will do wisely to rest our case upon a metaphor until light dawns again. If we are successful in leading a revival of liberal learning in this country, there are still available terms which will make discourse again possible. Meanwhile, I invite the Board to join the faculty in self-examination, and to see if the decisive steps which St. John's College has taken during the past three years have fulfilled or broken our pledges. The Board will recall that the first of these steps was the agreement in principle, if not in detail, upon the curriculum- · that is, upon the basic means which might be deemed proper to the end we sought in common: the awakening and disciplining of all the intellectual powers. It was determined that the basic materials employed should be a hundred or more of the greatest books which our civilization has produced from Homer to the present. If we were to avoid the intellectualism which the honest word intellect now implies to our generation, such a list would need to include not only books from many times and places but books exhibiting the human mind dealing with all the major sorts of problems that confront it: poetry, history, law, medicine, theology, mathematics, and the natural sciences. But they would be chosen on the basis of their own worth, not on the basis of covering so-called fields of knowledge. Lesson One in the art of thinking would be what Lesson One has been perhaps at every renaissance of liberal learning: watching great thinkers think and following their operations with one's own understanding. We assumed that any young man who consorted habitually with the men who wrote the books we were choosing, and who understood what these men said so far as his capacities allowed, would emerge with those capacities developed. But the books included some genuinely difficult works and were worth a full four years of time, and freedom from intellectual triviality. So we completely abolished the textbook and we completely abolished the elective system. We counted on experience steadily to improve the list through constant re- l �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 9 vision, and steadily to increase our own powers to teach the books on that list. Finally, to protect the reading of the books from dilettantism, we supported the seminar discussions of them with systematic and rigorous work in language, mathematics, and laboratory science. The curricular devices which emerged are familiar to you: seminar on the books twice a week for four years; mathematics five times a week for four years; language instruction five times a week for four years; laboratory science for three hours once a week the first two years, three hours twice a week for the third and fourth year; one or two formal lectures a week. Some of the College visitors, of whom I spoke earlier, have expressed astonishment at the amount of Greek which many of our freshmen have acquired in one year's study but bewilderment at why we did not require, or at least allow, a second year of Greek. Their bewilderment has measured their incomprehension. They have applauded us for teaching so much Greek when we have not been primarily interested in teaching Greek as such. We have sought in Greek the linguistic and literary medium upon which first-class intellectual operations have left their signature; and like our ancestors, in Greek we found them. It is obvious that our requirement of four full years of laboratory science is not an attempt to produce professionally trained physicists or chemists or biologists. We are interested in having our students know what a man is doing when he carries on scientific investigation with a view to explaining the phenomena of nature which confront him. Unless our visitors remember constantly that the subject matters we make use of, along with our ways of teaching them, are dictated by one purpose and by one purpose only, the developing and perfecting of the intellectual powers of our students, then their plaudits and their reservations are equally irrelevant to the problem at which we are working. I should like to recall to the Board that it was only when we had already agreed on that one purpose and on the basic means of achieving it, that they took up the question of who should assume as President of the College the primary obligation of seeing that this purpose was adhered to. I would further recall that, once the curriculum had been set up and an administration �10 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT put in charge of it, the Board chose to undergo a complete reorganization of its own membership in order that the .College might receive from that direction the maximum possible support. The reorganization of the Board was carried out successfully, despite the risk that it would be considered by the public one of those personal altercations which affiict college boards when no common purpose unites them. Meanwhile faculty appointments and reappointments were recommended by me, and acted upon by the Board, with the same ultimate goal in mind. Student admissions, while the technical requirements were left unchanged, have been constantly subject to one consideration: that the matriculant should understand in advance, as completely as possible, what a liberal education is, what its high utility is, and precisely what utilities it declines to serve. The faculty have given constant thought to the problem of student activities and to the sort of community life that would support a genuine liberal arts curriculum. It is obvious that true learning cannot go on in vacuo. Should it attempt to do so, the result I should expect would be the kind of intellectualism which our generation blindly fears and fumblingly denounces. For the intellect feeds on sem~e experience, only some of which can be supplied by a laboratory. Its habits are related to moral habits. It requires the support of the imagination. On the other hand, the college activities which have grown up in recent decades, bear the anti-intellectual characteristics of the period during which liberal education has decayed. In their present form, therefore, they not only fail to support liberal education ; they actually compete with it and destroy it. Intercollegiate competition in athletics is a case in point; and once we were sure it could not be subordinated to the purpose of the College, we abolished it, in order to clear the decks for an athletic system that would give that purpose the support it should find in physical sport and bodily skills. That it might have the support of the fine arts as well, the College developed an extensive musical program. Finally, these vitally important considerations of what extra-curricular activities could do for the curriculum itself have led to a constant re-examination of the physical plant in order that its advantag2s might be fully exploited in terms of the main issue. . ' �ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 11 The external relations of the College involve, as in the case of other colleges, three concentric rings. There is the Board of Visitors and Governors, to whom the College administration is responsible but who cannot from geographical and other considerations participate fully in its daily life. There are the graduates of the College, who likewise cannot participate fully but who do not share the same burden of responsibility for its affairs as do the Board. And there is the general public, without whose understanding the College cannot serve well the purpose for which it was founded. I have deemed it my duty to keep the Board more fully informed of the day-to-day work of the College, than boards commonly are, if only because of the necessity that they help the faculty interpret the College's purpose to the general public. In the case of our graduates, a Baltimore radio station has made it possible ·for me to discuss the work of the College monthly for more than two years now, at least with those of our graduates who live in the Maryland area; and this courtesy has exempted me from the pleasant but, in terms of time, costly duty of visiting localities where our graduates have settled, in order to satisfy their proper desire to know what the College is doing. In the case of Board, graduates, and general public alike, it has seemed to me imperative, if the College was to use properly the leadership which has fallen to it, that our purpose be stated and restated, constantly and in as many different ways as ingenuity might devise. With that obligation in view, we have followed a few simple rules on what colleges term their public relations. We have never sought publicity, on the grounds that it is an irresponsible and dangerous medium of communication. We have tried to answer all questions, carefully and fully, whether they were put by other teachers or by journalists. We have tried deliberately to inform accurately those persons whose understanding seemed most likely to forward the ultimate purpose of the College. If this constant reference of all decisions to the aim of developing the intellectual powers of our students sounds doctrinaire, even to members of the Board, I can but remind the Board that this accusation is an essential feature of the terrain through which we must pass if we would win our objective. �12 REPORT OP THE PRESIDENT It has been a long time since an American college of liberal arts restated the ageless purposes of liberal education in definite fashion. In the midst of indefinite talk, any definite assertion always sounds doctrinaire. Meanwhile, I think I detect two imminent dangers to the success of our common educational enterprise. · On the one hand, from being "an interesting educational experiment" St. John's is beginning to look like a model to the thousands of teachers and laymen who have written the College approvingly. Unless its true purpose is constantly reiterated, I predict that the means it has chosen to employ will be mistaken for ends, and copied as ends, by other institutions, with results I need not attempt here to describe. On the other hand, precisely because a clear vision of the end we seek has created within the College means which are impressively vital, precisely because teaching and learning in it have become so extraordinarily exciting, we too run the daily risk of mistaking our educational means for ends; we too will emerge from the strenuous struggle of these years to the complacency of an apparently permanent victory; we too will go the way of all :flesh and forget that the prize for what we seek to achieve is not awarded here. Against that all too human fate we have no other safeguard than singleness of purpose. I have tried to recall to the minds of the Board as well as to the minds of us who are teaching at the College, what that purpose is, in the light that has been shed upon it by our common service to it.

STURDY �The St. John's Program is a four-year all-required curriculum based on the study of the great books shown in this frontispiece. A statement of this Program is contained -in the current College catalogue, which may be obtained from the Registrar ���REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Among the sentences written in 1787 which are required reading for Americans in the fateful year 1941 is one from the pen of Alexander Hamilton: "It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force." And as if to challenge his fellow-countrymen of 1941 to reflect carefully and choose wisely, Hamilton added: "If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind." "The People of the State of New York," to whom Hamilton addressed those words, accepted his counsel and helped set up a government by "reflection and choice" instead of permitting anarchy to grow into government by "accident and force." The Americans of 1787 met their crisis, made their decision, and elected to play their part. We, their descendants, face the perhaps graver crisis of 1941. By our conduct and example we· may well decide the important question whether government by reflection and choice shall give way everywhere to government by accident and force. As I write these words, we have not to date made our decision, nor elected the part we shall act . .We have calculated danger. We have washed our hands. We have given aid short of war; at the risk of war. We have studied the Gallup polls to see how many of our neighbors might be willing to play a part with or without making a genuine decision, with or without genuine reflection or real choice. We have argued the necessity to "sell" the people-a dangerous metaphor for a free people, though not a dangerous one for Goebbels. We have accused each other of war-mongering, of appeasing. Above all, we have been confused, and we have exhibited to the delighted eyes of the announced champions of government by force a sort of low-tension paralysis. For we have not achieved a clear statement of what we would be defending if we entered the war, and failing that statement, we have �failed of a true decision. The spring of 1941 will go down in American history as the spring of the paralyzed will and the spring of nightmare. For is it not in nightmares that danger steadily approaches while no finger can be lifted in defense? Unclear statements and sentimental statements there have been galore. We have talked loudly, if not clearly, of the American way of life; but whether it meant courage to do our duty in the face of injustice and brutality or whether it meant the right to be left alone, we did not make clear. It may have meant sleeping late in the morning instead of being roused at dawn. It may have meant never walking where a car could be driven, instead of carrying a pack under shellfire. It may have meant free enterprise, the 1941 version of Adam Smith's "mercantile republic," that eighteenth-century City of God, now become the City of Salesmanship. Maybe it meant the right to abolish drunkenness by voting prohibition, abolish war by voting neutrality, abolish blood and toil and tears and sweat by voting billions for defense. Perhaps we have. been paralyzed by guilt. Who are we to throw the first stone or drop the first bomb or sink the first submarine? As President Hutchins pointed out, we have not lived up yet to our own ideals. Yet, our forefathers, when they set up a government capable of defending this republic against external aggression as against internal violence, were under no delusion that they were themselves without sin. At what point did dangerous aggression become a purely relative and merely regrettable matter? Perhaps the real origin of our paralysis is not the knowledge that we, like all men, have also sinned, but that we are ignorant of any assumptions underlying the American Constitution that are worth dying to defend. The preamble of the Constitution will not tell us, for we have lost the ability to read that kind of English. Justice, domestic . tranquillity, general welfare, and the blessings of liberty? Propaganda words!-in this case, we have been taught, the propaganda of !he propertied class in the American colonies. How many Americans really disagree with Thrasymachus' statement that justice is the interest of the stronger? You do what you can get away with. You get your cut. Hitler is doing no more, and you in his shoes would do no less. Our forefathers naively thought that no republic could endure, no matter how wise its laws, unless its citizens possessed the cardinal virtues. They could name the virtues. They were justice, courage, temperance, and prudence. But we do not fall for abstract words like that. And in so far as we do not fall for them, we risk judging 2 �that a republic can endure even if its citizens are unfair, cowardly, greedy, and foolish . But can it? If this famous American way of life is not aimed at these virtues, or if Hitler's way is aimed at them just as accurately, why die to preserve one and destroy the other? One might vote a billion or two to preserve our way, out of pure prejudice and as a public works project; but it would be stupid to die. Patrick Henry got a good hand and a good press for choosing between death and the loss of liberty; but then he was not subject to the draft anyhow. Maybe Patrick Henry meant by liberty what Montesquieu in the same century meant: "In governments, that is, in societies directed by laws, liberty can consist only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will." That is certainly a more complicated right than the right to be let alone. Perhaps liberty was conceived by our forefathers as the precious right to act justly towards other men. Perhaps liberty is not the word in 1941 to bring us back to ourselves, since it is only a means to an end. Perhaps justice, abstract as it also is to ears attuned only to concrete things, might rouse an echo in our hearts, might move our wills. Certainly the word democracy does not seem to have roused or moved. Do we need to summon the ideas that once lay back of democracy? Hitler and Mussolini repeatedly declared, long before the shooting began, that democracy was decadent. From time to time we have heartened ourselves with phrases about ballots, not bullets. We would show them. Have we? Or have they shown us? As a matter of fact, could we show them? Not, certainly, as some wise men have pointed out, by beating them at their own game, by outsmarting them at diplomacy, out-lying them in propaganda. It was Jacques Maritain who pointed out that the '' moderate Machiavellianism" of the democracies could never defeat the all-out Machiavellianism of Hitler. It is just possible that democracy, as we have known it and practised it and preached it, really is dead, and that Hitler is proving it. If so, we may yet live to be grateful to our teacher. What he cannot teach, because it is not true, is that the ideas which once made democracy great are also decadent. Ideas do not decay; yet people's understanding of them can decay, all the same. And literally as sure as shooting, a free republic cannot defend itself against aggressive tyranny unless its citizens understand those ideas which make men free and guard their freedom. No free republic can fight off tyranny unless its citizens love justice more than their cut. I suggest that it is the loss of those ideas which has paralyzed the 3 �will of the American Republic in 1941, as it has already paralyzed the will of the peoples Hitler has subjected. If this Report numbers the consequences of that loss, it is because of the inescapable connection between the decay of liberal education and the decay of liberal government. These same forefathers of ours who could use words like justice and liberty, and make them carry meaning, were deeply aware that no government by "reflection and choice" could hope to stand unless citizens received the sort of liberal education that would enable them to reflect well and choose by the light of understanding. This will account for the urgency with which they established colleges of liberal arts, not for the purpose of teaching what those colleges teach today, specialized knowledge aimed at an immediate livelihood, at pe.rsonal "success," but for the purpose of disciplining the intellectual powers of young men to the point where real reflection and therefore real choice became possible. St. John's College, along with many other of our older colleges of liberal arts, bears witness to this most practical of public policies. When this seventeenth-century foundation was re-chartered under its present name the year was 1784, three years before Alexander Hamilton wrote the words which open this Report. It is significant that, of the men who petitioned the State of Maryland to grant our charter, one, William Paca, had signed the Declaration of Independence; and that three other signers, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, became members of its Board of Visitors and Governors. Equally significant is the preamble of the College Charter: "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: Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning . . . . . " Let us note that colleges like St. John's were not established to teach men "useful" ways of making more money than their neighbors, nor, on the other hand, to teach them the useless but decorative charms of "pure" culture: they were to teach them to practise the , liberal arts, to use their intellects, to reflect, to make choices, in order that a free society might be able to govern itself wisely, freely, and justly, and not fall a prey to government by force. The founders of the Republic were hard-headed enough to see the high benefit of such colleges to the Republic, without seeking that benefit in the pseudoutilities of "practical" courses. 4 �I shall not outline here what I have attempted to outline in earlier reports: how our colleges forsook the task assigned them and prostituted themselves to other ends. I shall not point out again why liberal education is a necessity for free societies, nor why specialized training, unsupported by liberal education, is fit only for bureaucrats, slaves, and in a sense for animals. For animals, whether human or non-human, can be taught useful tasks. Already by 1910, an Address to the Trustees of Amherst College, presented by the Class of 1885, pointed out the dangerous substitution and its inevitable results for a free society. Its results are now with us. Either Hamilton or Madison shed light on the matter in hand when he wrote in No. ~1 of the Federalist: "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." We twentieth-century Americans, with our anti-theological bias and our trivial blasphemies parading as common sense, are unlikely to read in that terse statement all that the eighteenth century could still read. For we think of the eighteenth century as the age of Voltaire and forget what an intimate part of its intellectual equipment Christian theology still was. Yet this distinction between men and angels we have pretty well lost, along with the distinction between men and beasts. It is worth recalling. Angels, men were once taught, have intellects but no bodies. They therefore know justice and their knowledge is never obscured by passions, by physical appetites, or, in our mock-modest contemporary terms, by their emotions. Beasts have passions, but not intellects. They must therefore be governed by force, for they cannot be , persuaded by reason. But man, as-the Greeks put it, is a rational animal, a logical animal, a speaking animal capable of the word, the logos. Still, he is an animal. By nature, therefore, he can never content himself with a government for long unless it appeal to his reason. By nature, likewise, he is subject, like other animals, to his passions; and no government not armed with force, no matter how near justice it may come, can stand for long. This composite nature of man, our ancestors clearly understood and , plai~ly analyzed. The Constitution of the United States was set up with both facts in mind: man's rationality, which demanded justice, and liberty to . seek that justice; man's animality, which required rationally ordered safeguards if government is to "insure domestic tranquillity" and "provide for the common Defence." Ignorance of this composite nature of man renders the Constitution of the United States fundamentally unintelligible. It then becomes a pious hope that everybody will act like an angel, or a skilfully concealed assumption that 5 �everybody is a mere beast. Nor does a man wittingly die for pious hopes or for concealed assumptions. Hamiltop and Madison and their contemporaries knew that, because of their intellectual powers, men are capable of erecting and maintaining government by reflection, deliberation, and choice. They knew also that, because of their animality, men's political "interests" must be harmonized. One of the pitiful chapters of American historical thinking is the .adolescent delight with which our twentiethcentury debunking historians have discovered that our ancestors were concerned with interests. Would that they had likewise discovered how deeply concerned they were simultaneously with ideas. Today our people oscillate rapidly between a sentimental faith in the goodness of man, a faith once known as angelism, and a cheaply cynical belief that men operate exactly as do other beasts. The first faith slacks toward anarchy; the second as surely forearms tyranny. It was further known, at the time that our Republic was planned and established, that so constantly do men's passions war against their powers of reason that these powers cannot be counted upon to operate dependably, either in the political field or elsewhere, until they have been disciplined and strengthened; and the task of disciplining and strengthening the intellectual powers of men under the most propitious conditions was delegated to the college of liberal arts. That is why such colleges were conceived of, not as pleasant asylums for the offspring of the rich nor as trade schools for the servile poor, but as the very necessary bulwarks of free government. Nor would the men who wrote our Constitution have dreamed for a moment that it could endure for many decades supported only by the "liberal" education our colleges and universities now afford. The Constitution was intended to be merely an instrument through which free men might conveniently govern themselves. Nobody supposed it could alone guarantee their freedom. Ultimately, that freedom is internal, and ultimately it is based on a discipline that is equally internal. Today, we do not possess that internal discipline in a measure adequate for long to guarantee our liberties. If we lose at last our power to govern ourselves, we shall forfeit the right to do so. We become what the Nazis assume we are: shrewd animals. In that event, we are as donkeys are, and we must be ruled as donkeys are ruled: by a club and a carrot. The carrot is applied in front; the club, behind. If you want the donkey to reverse the direction in which the donkey is headed, you do not reason with him. You place the carrot behind, and club him in the face . Those who have observed totalitarian government closely assure us 6 �that two things move it: threats and bribes. Ignore the intellect, and the club and carrot rule what is left : the body, with its passions and its instincts. The most recent reminder of these simple, brutal, beastly facts about mankind may be found in Mr. Walt · Disney's version of Pinocchio. The little boys who became donkeys did so merely by gratifying to the limit their physical appetite for pleasure. But some of those who saw the picture may have attached too little importance to the fact that, in order to go to Pleasure Island, they left-school. Reflection on Pinocchio will tell us why, in the case of so many of our public men who neglected to fit themselves with a liberal education, the spoken word so often turns into the telltale bray. There is another way of telling the story. The curriculum once afforded by our "general seminaries of learning" concerned itself with ends, and the relation of ends to their appropriate means. Specialized education of the sort which has flowered in the "elective system" of the undergraduate college is concerned with means. The student first chooses what he is going to do and is then taught ways of attaining his end. There was a time when he would have been taught to criticize his choice of end. And his mind would have been freed in order that he might choose an end wisely. Free men are men who choose ends. The unfree accept the ends which are dictated to them, whether by their whim and prejudice, or by a government which arouses their fear or awakens their greed. There is a nice test for a liberal education. Regardless of social contacts or of courses that pretend to be commercially useful, do our colleges prepare men to make fearless and responsible decisions under a Constitution like ours and-equally important, if only recently relevant-does their preparation give a man anything that would stand by him in a concentration camp? A genuine discipline in the liberal arts would meet both tests. There are those who, not connected with St. John's College, have yet seen in the type of liberal education it has restored a return to the principles which might make democracy intelligible again-not merely pleasant or easy, but intelligible, and therefore operable. The Latin motto which the seal of the St. John's Program bears-"! make free men out of children by means of books and balances"-alludes to that faith, the faith of our forefathers: that true education in the liberal arts can bring out in young citizens the powers without which they cannot govern themselves, either through our Constitution or through any other that might be devised in its place. For responsible government is responsible not merely in the ordinary sense, that 7 �those entrusted with political power are "responsible to the people," byway of lobby, petition, Western Union, or merely Gallup. The art of responsible government does not consist in how to please voters, how to "sell" them this political action or that. Voters, under a truly respon~ible government, are not customers to be sold anything, and only a nation which had largely sold out to salesmanship would suppose they were. A genuinely responsible government is answerable to truth and reason; and to that reason both leader and follower are equally answerable. Voting ] a, whether in a Nazi plebiscite or a rigged American election, does not constitute what was once meant by "the consent of the governed." It is the reasons for consenting that should interest a free society. The sole importance of a majority vote-of men, not donkeys-is that, by and large, Americans have believed that reasonable steps, if properly debated and deliberated upon, would commend themselves to more men than not. This faith is based on a fact that Descartes observes in the opening sentence of his Discourse on Method: "Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed." With this faith went once the knowledge that the reason in human beings, the good sense, must be cultivated, exercised, disciplined. Assuming all this, and assuming that the curriculum St. John's introduced four years ago will furnish the exercise and discipline it has already furnished through many centuries, it yet remains true that what is being done at St. John's, even should ~t spread again to colleges throughout the land, may be too little and too late. We have lost valuable decades in the American tradition of liberal education. A generation has grown up that shows an understandable sympathy for the principles on which totalitarian society rests, rather than for the principle that all men are rational and therefore basically equal. It will be years before the work being done now at St. John's, or similar work that any other college might immediately undertake, could bear the fruit in political and economic action which would save the American way of life in the sense in which our forefathers would have used that phrase. Is there time for that? Whether there is time or not for our people to find again in liberal education the strength and understanding they once found there, the College must perform its task. From a practical point of view, its uncompromising acceptance of that task has affected more persons than the undergraduates who attend it. The parents of those undergraduates have been enabled to make a choice for their sons which they could not otherwise have made. Those of us who teach in the College draw from that choice daily strength for our task. -8 �You on the Board who have labored to make it possible for us to teach have thereby shared in the common enterprise, as have the hundreds of men and women, scattered throughout the country, who have made financial sacrifices in order that this work might be done. It is .in the nature of such undertakings that those who participate derive strength from each other. In their joint effort they find the liberty that is the right to do what they ought to will. It was of this liberty, proof against external catastrophe and the vicissitudes of human life, that George Washington spoke when, discussing the necessity to submit a good Constitution whether it were accepted or rejected, he enjoined: "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest may repair. The event is in the hands of God." Finally, the educational program of the College was never based upon a grandiose design to save the nation. There are indeed signs that the nation may shortly need saving. There is plenty of evidence that the sort of thing which St. John's is doing is in the long run . necessary if our kind of society is to be saved. But although free men may know, as they have often known, that true liberal education safeguards free republics, it would be misunderstanding liberal education to suppose that the proper purpose of a liberal arts college is to support free government. It would be nearer the truth to say that the true end of free government is to make liberal education possible. Lest I be supposed to say here that the purpose of the United States Constitution is to support colleges, I may be allowed to observe that colleges are not the on!y places in which men perfect their intellectual processes. Were that the case, our people would be today in an even sorrier plight than they are really in. But it is most true to say that if the purpose of government is to preserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the first two of these objects are ordered towards the third. We live and enjoy liberty that we may pursue happiness, and the man who penned this triune phrase was perfectly aware of where that happiness lay: in the fullest possible development, and use, of man's most human powers, the powers of the intellect. Under our Bill of Rights Congress may not prohibit you or me from worshiping God-but suppose we know no God to worship? It may not forbid us to speak our minds-but suppose we have no minds to speak? It may not prevent our daily paper from telling us the truth-but suppose our paper does not know how to tell us the truth, or which truths are worth telling? Congress may not prevent you and me from peaceably assembling-but why assemble if we have nothing worth saying to each other? It may not in certain 9 �cases take from you or me our right of trial by jury-but suppose no good men and true can be discovered? In an important sense, the Bill of Rights is negative: it states that Government shall not by force take from us the essential liberty of doing things we ought to do: to deliberate, debate, exchange ideas, judge each other as peers. Nowhere does it, can it, or should it tell ·us either the list of things we ought to do or how to do them. That, in the opinion of our ancestors, was the business of liberal education. That, in their opinion, was an arduous process; for it is harder to develop in men their native powers of self-control, their native powers of thinking through, their native powers to follow up with courageous and just action than it is to tug and drive them, with club and carrot. Tyrants forbid citizens to do their duty as free men. Free government permits them to do it. Liberal education enables them to do it. STRINGFELLOW BARR Annapolis, Maryland, May, 1941.

LINDER R UML HERVEY ALLEN BONNELL WILLIAM J. FRENCH STRINGFELLOW BARR HENRY F. STURDY �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Five years have passed since St. John's College introduced its present program of instruction. During that time much has been said and written about the College's radical reform. Some of what has been said has exhibited extraordinary insight, both into the St. John's Program and into the state of liberal learning in America today. Inevitably also, much has been said which was simply misinformation about St. John's College, yet has been unconsciously revealing of American opinion concerning liberal education. It would seem proper to lay before the Visitors and Governors in some systematic form the principal misapprehensions concerning the College's purpose and the means it has adopted to carry out that purpose, both because they are the natural interpreters of the College to the outside world and should know the points which most need interpretation, and also because one may well record, at the end of these five years, what the comments of that world have been upon the assumption of a task which American colleges had for decades refused to assume. The history of the College for the past five years has acted as a catalytic upon the confusions implicit in contemporary liberal education, has indeed made more explicit, confusions which every college trustee might well consider. There have been two main classes of misapprehensions. On the one hand "conservative" educators have argued for the "tradit ional" elective system in our undergraduate colleges against the " novel educational experiment" which St. John's supposedly started. St. John's had restored a kind of education that has more than two thousand years of teaching experience back of it compared with the elective system's century or less. The liberal educators, on the other hand, welcome what they call novel experiments and took the St. John's Program to be one. In general, the conservatives have found in the St. John's curriculum all the things they fear, and the liberals all the things they always hoped for and never found elsewhere. The conservatives have feared an intellectual coup d'etat under papist auspices . Was the College not requiring students to read St. Augustine, St. Bonaventura, St. Thomas Aquinas? And were not these theologians Catholics- at a time, it is true, when the choice of Protestant churches was lamentably restricted? Were they not dog- �with those three questions in mind: Whom is the St. John's Program for? What does it do for them? What chance has it of surviving? "Only the brilliant student need apply to St. John's for admission, and in any case only he would profit by studying there if admitted." As a matter of fact the Dean of the College has through~ out the five years, and as a matter of educational policy, admitted freshman classes that exhibited what educators often call a bell curve. That is, he has admitted a few freshmen who had averaged "A" in high school, a few who had averaged "D", and a goodly . proportion of "B's" and "C's." For the first five years the entrance requirements the College had for a long time been using, fifteen high school "units" and the principal's recommendation, were continued, not because the Dean attached much importance to them but because he did not wish to recommend more appropriate requirements until the faculty had had enough experience teaching the Program to draw them up wisely. This year the War precipitated action that might otherwise have been postponed for two or three years longer: the faculty substituted for a high school diploma its own entrance examinations, examinations designed to insure as far as possible that the incoming freshman had the relevant preparation while at the same time enabling him to enter the College early enough to graduate by twenty. Although the military draft precipitated this action, there is reason to hope that the College will feel justified in continuing to graduate its students by twenty, even after peace comes. Certainly an efficient system of school and college should accomplish more for a student by that age than the present system achieves by a considerably later age. The Visitors and Governors will doubtless recall that the new entrance examinations cover algebra through quadratics, plane geometry, one foreign language and-what innumerable college matriculants and some graduates from our better colleges no longer possess-common school arithmetic and English grammar. A boy who understands those subjects should profit by studying at St. John's. There is, however, one requirement which the bulk of matricu-, lants in our colleges do not meet: the boy that enters St. J ohn'S\ must desire a liberal education seriously enough tQ face tasks he did not choose and to work harder upon them than he would need to work if his only desire were to secure a bachelor's degree from a leading American university. This last requirement keeps more boys from 1 1 applying to St. John's than anything except misinformation about it, or misinformation about liberal education. But mediocre abilities have not barred applicants. 3 �"Only students with private incomes should enter St. John's since the College does not prepare boys to earn a living." Almost none of the present student body now have, or may expect to have, private incomes. They did not of course come to St. John's to prepare for a specific job. St. John's is not a business school, not a professional school. It is concerned to awaken and discipline and render genuinely usable the intellectual powers of its students. It assumes that many of them will upon graduation enter a business occupation, in which case they will learn the job from those already on the job. This is the way most bachelors of arts in the United States, who earn bread today, learned their jobs, not by taking "practical" college courses. In fact, alumni surveys indicate that few undergraduates "major" in the field in which they later earn their living, for the adequate reason that life is much more surprising than most colleges realize, and the average undergraduate cannot predict how he will eventually earn his living. In short, most persons still learn their business ·the way their great-grandfathers did, by the method formerly known as apprenticeship. Tho~e who have first learned to think make the aptest apprentices. However, certain of the learned professions, theology, medicine, law, engineering, and others, require of their apprentices that they first get specialized theoretical training, usually though not invariably in a school. Some of the best of these professional schools require of those who enter them a bachelor's degree, in an effort to guarantee that those who study for a profession shall first be educated men. They are usually disappointed in their guarantee and are loud in saying so to the liberal arts colleges. The graduates of St. John's go to professional schools just like other college graduates, except that they have learned first to handle more difficult problems than the elective system requires students to handle. The medical schools offer a special problem, since, despairing of getting educated B.A.'s from the colleges, they have passed over to the colleges, under the term "pre-medical course," some of the professional training which medicine requires. The graduates of St. John's are entering good medical schools. Certain graduate departments in our universities, notably chemistry, do not insist on a liberal education but do insist on several years of undergraduate chemistry. No college could hope both to assume this professional responsibility and give its students a thorough liberal education, and St. John's does not try. It has never tried to "meet requirements" but to give a solid education, .and really good graduate and professional schools are but too glad to get what they originally hoped the colleges could give. 4 �The "practical" benefit of a liberal education is to enable young men to think clearly and imaginatively, to display versatility and adaptability, and the onlY- known "course" in these valuable qualities is what men once called liberal education. The qualities are still eagerly, if vainly, sought by those in responsible positions with difficult personnel problems. Only recently have many Americans assumed that knowing how to think better would be a handicap in earning a living. "Poor boys need not apply, since there is no student aid, and since St. John's is in any case a community of 'gentlemen' with a high standard of living." There are of course many poor boys at St.John's, earning a part of their education by the usual college jobs and receiving the rest as a free grant. The standard of living is conspicuously simpler than in most well known American colleges. "St. John's teaches no science, only the classics." St. John's is, I assume, the only college of liberal arts in the country that will not grant a degree without four years of laboratory work, three hours a week for freshmen and sophomores, six hours a week for juniors and seniors. It is true that the purpose of this laboratory work is not to train professio_n al chemists or physicists or biologists but tol \ v discipline the student in the kind of thinking that goes on in those_; subjects by working in those subjects. St. John's is concerned, not primarily to teach laboratory rule of thumb but the reasoning back of the rule. It is moreover concerned that students should understand the great v revolutions in scientific thought, whether in ancient Greece, or in contemporary Europe or America. In the last formal lecture he ever delivered, Sir William Osler argued indeed for the value of Greek classics to liberal education but demanded that we study not only those called "humanistic" but the giants of Greek scientific inquiry as well: Democritus and Archimedes, Arista,rchus, Hippocrates, and Galen, and the scientific works of Aristotle. For there are "classics" in science as well as classics in poetry or philosophy. There are books which are classics and there are laboratory instruments which are also classics. "St. John's teaches no modern books, only the Greek and Latin classics." The books used at St. John's are of course the great books of the Western tradition, regardless of time or place. In time they range from Homer to living authors. Fortunately not all the great classics were written by Greeks or Romans. "Are students required to 'believe' Aristotle or St. Thomas Aquinas?" No, nor Freud, nor Marx either. Students are discour5 �aged from believing or disbelieving books they have not read or do not yet understand. They learn by daily experience how irrelevant this question of believing or accepting or subscribing usually is. Those moderns who accept, or refuse to accept, Aristotle, without knowing what he said, are not in a happy position intellectually, although their ignorance of the nature of their position usually leaves them tranquil. "The abolition of the elective system at St. John's leaves no room for the great specialist, no room for research, without which teaching itself decays." Leaving aside the rather obvious fact that most great specialists in our universities tend to pass on undergraduate teaching to their less distinguished colleagues, it is true that the faculty of St. John's are far too busy learning how to move through the same unspecialized areas of human knowledge through which the authors of the great books moved, to carry on much specialized research in the contemporary academic sense. It is equally true that the research that they do undertake is chiefly concerned with the recovery of understandings which the specialized scholar has now lost. How easily this loss could occur is obvious to anyone who reflects that the greatest minds of the Occident were rarely content to operate. in what a modern research scholar calls his field. Finally, it is worth observing that though modern research has indeed been used as the only available antidote against the bc,~·edom of teaching elective courses to undergraduates, that antidote is not needed by a faculty constantly occupied with the greatest books in all fields which our civilization has produced, and with helping undergraduates to understand them. "Undergraduates cannot read some of the books on the St. John's list." The heavy word in this sentence is the word "read." If it means master, the statement is not only true but a bit obvious. Some of the books on the St. John's list are not in a certain sense mastered by the faculty, nor perhaps by anybody. It is one of the characteristics of William Shakespeare that just when one feels one has really seen all the meanings in a given tragedy, a new implication appears. That is presumably why grown men, even learned men, do not object to reading and rereading Shakespeare. But the other great authors of our civilization exhibit the same inexhaustibility. If "read" means to understand to some degree and with immense intellectual profit, then the books "read" at St. John's are quite genuinely "read." Some of them, like ·Newton's Principia, have to be read in the British university sense: that is, studied line by line and toiled over at the blackboard. But they are read. 6 �The levels of understanding by undergraduates of different capacities vary more widely than the levels of understanding in dealing with a modern textbook. But the different levels increase in depth, and that is the reason for the reading. "Undergraduates cannot read so many books, since whole graduate courses are built around one or two of them." Again it depends on whether a man has read Dante when he knows what he says and can discuss it intelligently, or whether he has read him only after mastering the philological and historical apparatus employed by Dante Clubs. It depends on whether one seeks to become a Dante specialist or whether one uses the experience of reading Dante's poetry as one of the means of increasing a young man's understanding, in short, of educating him. Finally, it is quite probable that the required books at St. John's are less numerous than the books the average American undergraduate reads during the four years it takes him to thread his way through the maze of elective courses. It is more than probable that they are better books and therefore more worth his precious time. "Undergraduates cannot master four languages, yet St. John's requires every undergraduate to study Greek for one year, Latin for one, French for one, German for one. Why not study one long enough to master it?" St. John's is not concerned to turn out Hellenists or Latinists or French scholars or German scholars. It is concerned to acquaint its students with Language. It is concerned that its students should learn to use their mother tongue, in most cases English, with more discrimination and with greater effect than American college alumni now can. For Language is a basic _instrument of human thought. Normally, dull and slovenly language is recording dull and slovenly thinking. Even if the thinking is not dull, dull language cannot adequately convey it to others. This is as true in writing a business letter as in writing a piece of literary criticism. But to study Language in general, it is wise to study a sample language. Foreign languages are better for this purpose than one's own language, because they command a stronger quality of attention. Ancient languages are peculiarly adapted to exhibiting clearly the problems of all Language because they are highly inflected and the joints show. French and German have the advantage of being easier to learn to read directly without translation. Like Greek and Latin, they have the added advantage of being the vehicles of some of the greatest thinking of the Western world. For the end in view at St. John's, the comparisons between the four languages studied are of high pedagogical value. Neverthe7 �less, there is nothing sacred about the number four. Provided the end were kept clearly in view, the same job could be done with two languages or even one. The decision to use four was a purely practical one. "The object of the St. John's Program can be better achieved by a survey course in the intellectual history of the Western world." Not if this means substituting for the products of great minds condensations or commentaries by smaller minds. The American college professor, by the way, has no reason to feel insulted if his mind is considered smaller than the greatest minds whose products have come down to us. His mind can become less small if he associates constantly through his study and reading with minds that are really great. So can the minds of his students. "How can an undergraduate read a great book, say Machiavelli's Prince, without having first been given the background of the book: the Italian Renaissance, a course in painting, or the history of the Italian city states?" It is a modern superstition that a book like the Prince is inaccessible except to those who "have read up on the period." It is accessible to anybody who reads it attentively. Far from requiring a historical background to make good sense, it is one of the documents without which the so-called background makes very little sense indeed. Additional information, shedding light on Machiavelli and sometimes on his work can be multiplied almost indefinitely so long as our larger libraries hold out. But Machiavelli will remain intelligible, alone and unaided, so long as ordinary human experience holds out. Finally, most contemporary attempts to do a "thorough" job on Plato or Rousseau turn out to be based on the professorial assumption-in the context of contemporary education, curiously self-verifying-that no man reads an important book a second time after he has graduated. In so far as the alumnus does not read important books, he is quite simply another expensive educational failure. I am aware that he normally feels he lacks the time and I am equally aware of his frantic efforts to kill the time he could use re-reading the great books he first read in college, if indeed he did. "There is no course in American · history given at St. John's." In fact, in June 1942 the New York Times conducted a survey that disclosed that only eighteen per cent of our colleges require such a course for graduation and only twenty-eight per cent require it for admission. The Times reported that many educators were horrified by this disclosure. St. John's is not. It is horrified by the fact that American liberal arts colleges no longer supply the kind of educa8 �tion that made that history possible. As for the history itself, there are extant many readable versions of it, and there are countless Americans who have learned more about the history of their country from the sort of reading educated men and women do than can be learned in an undergraduate course. In terms of understanding America, it is far more shocking not to have read the Federalist papers than not to recall what happened in McKinley's administration. "St. John's is too intellectual. It is concerned with reading and thinking and talking, but it does not educate the whole man." It happens that colleges can best help the whole man by strengthening his intellect, as hospitals can by healing his body, and restaurants by feeding his stomach. St. John's thinks it important to discriminate between these social functions. It is true that it operates an infirmary and a dining hall, but its central concern is with the minds of its students. It also has a very lively athletic system, although it will have no truck with intercollegiate competition in its present form . It sings, it dances, it boats, it even goes to the movies! But it does these things in order that it may do better the job it was chartered to do: develop the intellectual powers of young men and teach them the means of continuing their development for life. I ts " college life" is organized around its instruction, not vice versa. It is not a club . " St John's is not concerned with 'creative' work or with the fine arts." St. John's is deeply concerned about the fine arts, but it is quite true that it has made really effective educational use of only one of them: music. It would welcome a good solution by which other fine arts might support the libe~al arts. It has not to date found such a solution and it would be quite unwilling to substitute for a genuine solution any schemes that contemporary colleges have to date set up. "St. John's does not cater to individual differences in its students." The College does not believe that young men can afford to focus upon their peculiar aptitudes before getting a basic, sound, general education. Such an education, is the common need of all free men. With it, differences in personality are rendered significant. Without it, such differences become mere eccentricity. Those persons best learn to "express themselves" who learn to express ideas; and they can learn to express ideas by essentially the same method by which children can learn to talk well: by listening to adults who can already talk well and by talking with them. It is true that the average St. John's student quite naturally puts more time on those aspects of human knowledge and inquiry which most attract him, 9 �although as he develops, the area frequently shifts. What he is not allowed to do, and what the elective system encourages, is to blackball whatever he finds difficult, thereby maiming himself intellectually. The elective system operates pretty much the way our political elections do; and James Bryce noted decades ago that the American electorate does not so much choose the man it wants in as vote against the man it wants out. Students do not so much elect what interests them as dodge what frightens them. Intellectual muscle, like other muscle, depends on a balanced ration, not on a diet of favorite dishes. This is a hard truth for many of our progressive educators, but one with which educated men everywhere are quite familiar. "It is too early to tell whether St. John's has the answer or not." It is somewhat doubtful if there is an "answer" to have. But there is long human experience back of the teaching which St. John's is doing. If by "answer" is meant the ability of the College's graduates to "make good," St. John's would have to reply that no selfrespecting educational institution would consent to measure the worth of its work by the average size of its alumni's incomes. That the graduate who has learned to think will find many things easy that the man who cannot think finds painfully difficult, is obviously true. But history does not record a necessary correlation between material success on the one hand and intellectual and moral worth on the other. We should recall for our good, now and then, how many of the world 's great men were "failures." Any educational institution whose faculty can practise the liberal arts is capable of detecting whether its students are learning to do so. It does not have to "wait ten years" before "evaluating" its work. On the other hand, it cannot guarantee even an educated graduate against war, famine, earthquake, or other catastrophes. Nor can any other institution. All a college can do at the .best is, not to guarantee its alumni from catastrophe, but to teach them how to meet catastrophe. If the present war cures our colleges from trying to guarantee comfort and prosperity to their graduates, it will not be fought wholly in vain. If it can teach the colleges that what our country asks of them is not successful alumni, but useful citizens, our victory will be sweet. War can cause anguish, and anguish sometimes brings contrition, and contrition is a fair start towards understanding. "St. John's has a good curriculum but is about to collapse financially." This practical prophecy the Board will recognize as based on tangible, if dated, evidence. Just previously to the introduction of the present curriculum, those who knew the affairs of the College 10 �had every reason to fear its imminent collapse. The determination to exploit educationally that near-catastrophe in large part made possible what St. John's is and stands for today. I believe the Board will agree with me that the vitality of the College springs in great measure from its resolution in 193 7 to tackle the job without money, do the job, and call for help. That this call has been generously heeded sprang, I ain convinced, primarily from the fact that the College was doing the job, not offering to do it if somebody would make it safe to do. The risks it then took have served ever since as a pledge to its friends that it meant business and that its financial needs reflected carefully chosen means to a clearly envisaged end. But on this problem too it is worth . our avoiding the childish fallacy I have just ascribed to colleges in general. Just as they cannot guarantee their graduates an income or even physical survival, so neither can any institution guarantee its own survival. Those of us whose picture of the world was formed before 1914 sometimes have to pinch ourselves to recall that a large part of that snug, successful, comfortable civilization lies in ruins about us and that the rest of it is fighting for its very life. Today it ill behooves a college of all places not to recognize that its first obligation is not security but performance of duty. It can be prudent in fitting means to end; it cannot play safe as an educational policy without forfeiting the right to the very means it seeks at all cost to guarantee. That St. John's has prospered during the past few trying years is due not merely to good fortune but to its courage as an institution in meeting its responsibilities. That courage and responsibility have attracted support from men and women able to recognize those qualities. "St. John's will not collapse financially, because it is operated by the University of Chicago, which will look out for its material needs. But since it is an experiment conducted by that University, it is not a free agent, and may come to an end when the experiment has yielded publishable findings." Of all the misapprehensions listed in this Report this one was once the most widespread. Although the College has never been in any way connected with the University of Chicago, it is easy to see where this particular legend started. The President of the University of Chicago joined our Board when I became head of the College; he was for a time Chairman of the Board: he still is a member. For years he had publicly advocated the sort of education St. John's is giving. Perhaps more important than that was the assumption of the average newspaper reader that 11 �there must be a connection of this sort: otherwise the College would not dare to push ahead. In short most members of the newspaper public, who did not predict financial collapse, assumed as the only other plausible hypothesis that Chicago money would keep us from collapse. For the colleges have taught the public not to expect action without advance subsidy. I tried to tell the story of an unsubsidized action in the July 1941 issue of the Atlantic Monthly. The Treasurer's Report for January 1941 fills in the gaps in that narrative. There is one last group of comments from those who recognize the vitality of the College and its work but find other reasons than its educational purpose and practice for that vitality. "It is special teaching methods that give the College life, not the subject matter it insists upon." Needless to say the College employs no teaching method that ·has not been used intermittently for thousands of years. "Then it is a specially brilliant faculty." We do not admit the compliment. After five years we have naturally become more competent to our task. One does not read the great books steadily year after year without being in a better position to teach them to undergraduates than even most leading scholars now are. But that is because of the work we have been doing, not because of our average intellectual capacity. We have, quite simply, re-educated ourselves for five years, and we have thereby repaired in part the deficiencies in our previous training. "The faculty of St. John's are enthusiasts, and enthusiasts can educate with any subject matter." I think I can report to the Board quite truthfully that with all the difficult problems the faculty have had to face, they have not had the additional problem of being enthusiasts. I once hired a housepainter who was an enthusiast and it was a costly business. I take it that good workmen incline to like their work, if only because it is, in proportion to their growing competence, good work. I think the faculty of St. John's now have felt this kind of satisfaction to a degree unusual for academic men of our generation. But they are far too busy to be what the word enthusiast suggests. Those who admire enthusiasts habitually conclude their diagnosis with a murmured reminiscence of Mark Hopkins on the end of a log. The anecdote has done American education much disservice by glorifying the living teacher and exempting us from listening to greater ones who were even wiser men than Mark Hopkins and who can still be summoned to our aid through the magic of the books they left behind them. 12 �The misstatements quoted above tell, it is true, little or nothing about St. John's, but by implication they tell a great deal about the state of liberal education in America today, about what most Americans think a college of liberal arts is and ought to be, about what kind of education Americans want for their sons. Let us sum up the misstatements in those terms. We Americans do not expect our children to be able by college age to read first-rate books and are content to have them read a few passages or a few of the great books in a special field and be told what is in the rest of them in survey courses. First-rate books are all right for the sons of our rich neighbors who can afford to concern themselves with the problems free men have always examined. For ourselves, we would rather our boy learned how to earn money and we believe that courses in a liberal arts college can somehow teach him to do so. Is not this the "age of specialization"? We have no faith that reading the first-rate will form the mind in any useful way. We believe that the world's greatest books are "culture" and we believe that culture is for the rich. We cannot conceive why a boy should study both ancient books and modern ones, both humanistic ones and scientific ones. Classics were written in Greek and Latin and are "culture." The up-to-date and the scientific are useful and true. Nor do we want · him to read medieval books, because even the greatest books of medieval Christendom are not worth reading unless you believe them. We are not convinced that the reading of great books would be more favorable to education than the reading of lesser books. The important thing is the teacher. He should be skillful and enthusiastic,- or our sons will become listless. What he teaches, provided it will be useful to making money, does not greatly matter. We Americans once provided liberal education in our colleges of liberal arts, a kind of education aimed at liberating the intellectual powers through discipline, and this aim is again the aim of St. John's College. But we were able to provide it for a very few of our sons. It is not true that we provided it for the rich only, but it is true that at the college level liberal education was thought of primarily as preparation for the learned professions. Since those days we have expanded incredibly the number of young men who "go to college." But we are not giving even those of them who propose to enter the learned professions, a genuine liberal education. We are trying instead to give them the specifically useful in a pitiful effort to prepare them against the utterly unknown demands of their future life. It is more than possible that the War and its aftermath will 13 �teach us the folly of t his substitution, will teach us how seriously our sons will need a more versatile preparation for living, how seriously we will need disciplined thinkers instead of college "majors." But I am in hopes it will teach us one more thing. I am in hopes it will teach us that if our modern industrial society is to be selfgoverning, not only must we restore the sort of liberal education that will prepare adequately for citizenship; we must set about making it available to all young Americans. That is a formidable task, but it is one that is worthy of the American tradition. If we propose to guard the freedom for which many of our fellow citizens are now dying, and if we expect to exercise it on the basis of a complex technology, we dare not aim at less. Once more, the comments and questions which have greeted the St. John's Program can be classified under three headings: What does liberal education do? Whom is such education for? What chance has it of surviving in our world? The answers to those questions are simple answers, even if they are difficult to understand for institutions which have for many decades not asked the questions. Liberal education frees the human intellect by disciplining its powers. It removes a man's impediments to the complete use of whatever thinking powers he may possess. Since to live well, since even to earn a living, requires a man to think, liberal education is the basic preparation for life. But it is a full-time job and cannot be carried on adequately by institutions that attempt simultaneously to give occupational training and- what they may call "practical" knowledge. That kind of knowledge can be speedily acquired, whether on the job or in a postgraduate professional school, by the man who has learned to think. It can be acquired only with difficulty and inadequately by the rrian who has not. The penalty which contemporary society has paid for omitting this basic sort of education is the multiplication of highly trained specialists, who are, fundamentally, uneducated men and who are inadequate to the varied responsibilities of life, whether as citizens, as husbands, as fathers, as friends, as soldiers. But since liberal education is the sort that enables each man to think as well as his native powers permit, it is by definition appropriate to all men. It is not for the rich alone, nor the intellectual elite alone, nor the gauleiters and commissars alone. A free society that limits it to a small fraction of its citizens, does so at the peril of its existence. And the effect which liberal education seeks is not the ability of graduates to " pass" a certain test but the completest possible realization of the powers to think, on the part of each human individual. By ignoring the ideal goal of universal liberal education, 14 �America allowed such education to transform itself into a training for white-collar workers and those who aspire to a white collar. Then, quite logically, since there are many honorable occupations in which white collars are not worn, America declared that it would be folly to give liberal education, that is white-collar training, to everybody. But true liberal education, of the kind American colleges stopped giving, is appropriate to any occupation a human being may properly perform. Since man's most specifically human powers are the powers of the intellect, the powers of understanding, the man who neglects to use and develop those powers does so at the peril of becoming a shrewd and dangerous animal. And since happiness depends on the full use of man's proper powers, those men who become shrewd animals do not become happy. The ultimate price of neglecting to free the intellect is bestiality. What chance has such education of surviving in our practical modern world? First, a glance at our modern world raises some doubt as to whether practicality is among its characteristics. Practical men do not treat such problems as peace, the distribution of material goods, or the education of their young, as we treated those problems in the twenties and the thirties. Secondly, the gloomiest fact about this question, whether true liberal education can survive, is that it should be seriously asked . To the extent that we know so little about it that we ask that question, it has already' ceased. Liberal education cannot of course be killed so long as human beings think. But it can be gravely weakened or postponed in a given place at a given time. What we mean by civilization, with its law, its science, its institutions, its art, is the product of the intellectual arts. To fight a war to preserve that product without taking measures to recover the arts that produced it is to misunderstand a basic fact. It is a fact which the Nazis, whom we have come so much to resemble, also misunderstand . It is that man was not made to support the social order but that the purpose of a good social order, like the purpose of liberal education, is to free the soul of man.

LINDER ScoTT BucHANAN HERVEY ALLEN WILLIAM J. FRENCH �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE BOARD OF VISITORS AND GOVERNORS: The most urgent problems which St. John's College has faced during the past year are of course, as in the case of all American colleges, the problems posed by war. The most important adjustments to the War which St. John's has made have been to furnish instruction for four terms a year instead of three and to admit students from the second year of high schoo!. The addition of a summer term is of course purely a War measure. Temporarily, it means that the next academic "session" of three terms will begin on July 8th instead of in September. The change in requirements for admission, most members of the Board will recall, has been on the College agenda since 193 7, when the College introduced the St. John's Program. I am taking the liberty of recalling this fact to the minds of Board members because I think it worth recording, at the end of the first six 'years of the St. John's Program, that the College has now taken the last major step which could be predicted, six years ago. While the admission of younger students may well prove the least important of these steps, it is not without interest as a milestone and it is not without considerable practical importance if the College is to render to the community the highest possible degree of service. It would seem desirable to record briefly the series of steps that brought us to the point we have now reached. First, the Board of Visitors and Governors, convinced that a drastic reform in American undergraduate education was overdue, took council and decided on the main lines which that reform might best follow. I believe it is important to recall that the Board had the daring to postpone dealing with the College's grave financial problems until they had dealt first with the nature and aims of genuine liberal education. Once they had determined upon their purpose and upon the type of curriculum that could achieve their purpose, they showed even more unusual daring. They authorized a major educational reform of the College with no money in sight to carry it out. When the reform had been effected, they and the College administration then sought and found men and women who would help financially. None of these men and women, in my judg1 �ment, would have underwritten such a reform in advance either at St. John's or at any other college. It was because the College chose to risk its very existence, in order to achieve its proper purpose, that it found faith and support. Remembering those anxious early years, members of the Board may find a nostalgic interest in the recently published Report from the Committee on the Re-Statement of the Nature and Aims of Liberal Education to the Commission on Liberal Education of the Association of American Colleges. Having agreed on the proper educational aims of the College, and the broad lines of the curriculum that could achieve such aims, the Board chose a new administration which would be responsible for working out with the faculty the actual teaching practice of the College. So far as the administration's mandate would permit, the existing faculty was utilized. It was obvious that we who would do the daily teaching of the College would have in large measure the arduous task of re-educating ourselves. For we were ourselves the products of the very system whose breakdown had brought us together in this enterprise. It is doubtful whether any other faculty in this country can have worked as ours has had to during these past six years. Moreover, for the first half of that period the College could offer none of us financial security a month ahead. But we early discovered the exhilaration and workmanlike satisfaction that inhered in the curriculum we had determined to teach, and by the end of the first five-year period the College faculty had attained a strength that nobody could have predicted in 193 7. Meanwhile, the Board had completely reorganized itself in the light of the educational purpose of the College and achieved approximately its present membership. The College then set to work to shoulder the mortgage on its property which the present administration had inherited, in addition to meeting the deficits which its reorganization would inevitably impose upon it during the period of transition. The mortgage was reorganized in such fashion as to provide full repayment to the creditors of the College while giving the College sufficient time to find the means for annual amortization. But the College's material needs did not stop with inherited cash debts. The physical plant was in desperate need of repair and improvement. However, finding money for these purposes proved, quite naturally, much easier than finding money for inherited debt; and much was accomplished before wartime shortages postponed resumption of our building program. All the tasks thus far listed were predictable enough in 1937. But two major internal reforms were not foreseen and yet have proven 2 �of great significance to the College community. By the beginning of its second year, the curriculum met in head-on collision with the existing system of intercollegiate athletics. After all, intercollegiate athletics, as conducted just before the present War, had grown up during a period when the American undergraduate curriculum was in rapid decay. Indeed, there is a quite genuine sense in which it had arisen in order to fill a growing vacuum. The hardest solution of the problem seemed to be the only real solution: the College abolished intercollegiate competition and was richly rewarded by the extraordinary development of its intramural sports. Members of the Board have doubtless been reading predictions that, following this War, our colleges will not willingly restore the incubus of intercollegiate athletics as our generation came to know it. They may readily underestimate now the anger and mystification which St. John's caused in 1939 by making a clean break with the whole impossible business and developing an athletic system of its own that would fortify, instead of disrupting and confusing, the College's educational function. The second internal reform which none of us foresaw was the shift from a social system dominated by national fraternities to one in which the entire student body, which is socially, economically, geographically, religiously, and even intellectually an unusually heterogeneous group, has been welded by common study and play into something very much resembling one fraternity. Incidentally, it is a "fraternity" which would welcome chapters on other college campuses! It was in the light of these successive reforms that the College faced last winter the new problems posed by the War. Its faculty had lost some of its ablest members to the armed forces, to government administration, or to war research. The drafting of men of eighteen would mean that few of its students would return next session. Indeed, half of them were already in the armed forces, under orders to continue at college until called out. From one end of the country to the other, discussion raged as to whether liberal education for men must be suspended for the duration of the War. The College faced three possibilities, as perhaps every other men's college m America did. First, it could apply for a contract with the Army or Navy to teach technical courses. None of the faculty was interested in this alternative, although the nature of the St. John's curriculum meant that perhaps no other liberal arts faculty in the country contained so large a proportion of experienced teachers in mathematics and physics. The simple fact was that the armed forces were being 3 �besieged by colleges which saw in war contracts their one means of financial survival. Given that state of affairs, the faculty of St. John's felt there would be many other and more useful ways of helping the war effort. Secondly, St. John's could suspend instruction until peace had been won and its faculty and students could again assemble and resume where they had left off. This would have worked a hardship on very few students and would in my judgment have been a defensible move. But the difficulties of reassembling a specially trained faculty at the perhaps indeterminate "end" of a global war cast doubt on the wisdom of the proposal. There remained only one alternative. In December 1942, the faculty by unanimous action decided in effect that their duty lay in continuing their work during those years of their students' lives immediately preceding military service. The Board will recall that they had already had teaching experience with younger students. It was evident that from the point of view of liberal education, the graduate of the average high school was not sufficiently better prepared than the lad with only two years of high school to make the shift imprudent, and in many cases there had been recognizable deterioration within the last two years. Members of the Board will recall that the Board's action in January, in ratifying this decision by the faculty, was likewise unanimous; and they may likewise recall the two principal reasons advanced in debate. First, it was pointed out that if we were justified in the daring steps we took in 1937, from a conviction that the American college of liberal arts was no longer meeting its obligations and that it badly needed to re-state the nature and aims of liberal education, surely it was even more necessary to stick to the job now, when leaders throughout the country were recognizing that liberal education for young men was in effect suspended, and that this suspension endangered the postwar period. Secondly, it was pointed out that both the Army and Navy were complaining bitterly of the lack in college graduates of disciplines which St. John's was furnishing in eminent degree, and that the College therefore owed it to the war effort to give this type of training to as many young men as it could handle. St. John's has not been alone in urging that the American school and college system be permanently shortened and strengthened. The President of Fordham University has argued cogently for six years of grammar school, three years of high school, and three years of college, although he doubtless assumes that this time would be spent in genuine studies and not in wandering through the mazes of the 4 �elective system, both in college and high school. We who teach at St. John's heartily wish that other colleges would boldly take lads young enough for them to get a liberal education before military service; that they would do so, not hesitantly, shamefacedly, and in view of various personal circumstances, but in order that the colleges might meet their responsibilities to our country in an hour of great need. Obviously, this would "lessen entrance requirements," at least as to time served in classrooms; and precisely to that extent it would "lower standards." In actual practice it could of course infinitely raise the educational standards of the American people. If the liberal arts colleges of this country could not teach more in the same space of time than is now learned in the last two years of the American high school, then our colleges are in worse shape than even their severest critics suppose. We wish other colleges would face this grave national problem. We even believe with the President of Fordham that they might indeed learn consistently to graduate men younger than they now do, and we believe that they might collaborate with the schools to do a better job in less time. But our experience of the past six years suggests that they would need to do one thing first. They would have to re-define their educational purpose. Fortunately, there are at the moment hundreds of academic committees throughout the country striving to do just that. The elective system that has grown up in our country during the past decades will not support the shift. It has inevitably bred a country-club atmosphere and innumerable "college activities" to fill the vacuum it leaves and it is not an atmosphere into which responsible parents should want to introduce younger students-or perhaps any students. If our colleges would assume the task of educating boys before military service, they would , first have to construct again a curriculum that could occupy such a boy's time and attention, a curriculum that could challeng~ his capacities and develop his sense of responsibility. I invite the Board's vigilant attention during the coming years to one important -consequence of the earlier matriculation. It was with this consequence in mind that the College planned in 1937 to make the shift "some day," six years before the brutal necessities of war defined that phrase practically. It is this: the College's present entrance requirements substitute two years of solid study, in such subjects as language and mathematics, for four years of wandering in a diluted and padded curriculum. This should bring us better prepared students, less confused by what are known at St. John's 5 �as "high school habits." And better prepared students will demand better teaching. For decades now the professor who teaches undergraduates has fallen back on two alibis for the meager results he has usually achieved. First, he does not admit responsibility for the student's general intellectual growth, since he is concerned only with knowledge in a given "field." Secondly, the professor truthfully reports that not much can be done anyhow with the graduate of the average secondary school: he is not prepared for college work. In 193 7, by abolishing the elective system, we teachers at St. John's surrendered the first alibi; and to that surrender I should ascribe much of the teaching strength the College has developed. In the process, the faculty have rid themselves of an intellectual agoraphobia that has made it increasingly difficult in our times to teach the liberal arts. In the pursuit of ideas, no teacher at St. John's can decline a hurdle on the grounds that it would take him out of his field. This has proven important. The men who wrote the great books which our students read did not dwell in fields. In short, better subject matter has challenged our capacities as teachers, not only to teach but to learn. Now more relevantly prepared students will challenge those capacities again. We have said what we want our students to understand before they come to us. We have qiscouraged their wasting and misusing time in irrelevant preparation. By defining their responsibilities more clearly, we have again defined our own more clearly. We know from daily experience that to define a teaching responsibility is a most important first step towards meeting it. Since we are determined to meet ours, we believe that earlier matriculation may carry even more important consequences than salvaging liberal education from the blackout of a total war.

Kieffer, the President of the College Members of the Graduating Class, St. Johnnies old and new, and guests. Volume I June 1949 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. I stand here today grateful to the Seniors for their invitation to deliver the Commencement address. It is a pleasure to speak the last words you shall hear as students from the college, and to speak as a representative of those who have been your teachers for four years. Your departure is a loss to the college, a reminder that it exists in a world of flow and change ; but it is also a gain to the college as you take your places in society and represent St. John's to the outside world. Commencement is a time to look forward, not back. And so, with unspoken remembrance of past toil, let us look to what lies before us. The crisis of the world today spells out in capital letters the meaning of the crisis we at St. John's recognized twelve years ago. Breakdown of communication and loss of direction is no longer confined to the academic community, it is plain to the man in the street. The colleges and universities of the late nineteenth century rested secure in their faith in Adam Smith. Britannia ruled , the ocean waves and Clerk Maxwell ruled the ether waves. Scholars could be comfortably sure that, as under laissez faire, tradesman, industrialist, laborer and farmer promoted the world's economic health by pursuing each his individual gain, so the domain of Truth was extended by each act of individual research. Today this comfortable assurance is dispelled. Marx and Curie have let loose forces to shatter that peaceful world. Originating in the library and the laboratory, they have swept into the market place and the factory, and in the process brought down the intellectual foundations of college and university. The shattering of a world does not mean necessarily the ending of a ' world. It means that the next generation will have to put it together again. Building the world anew is an exciting task; you have work laid out for you. The test of our, success with you will lie in whether you are going forth from college to build a new world or to plunder the ruins of the old. · I am not speaking inspirational generalities. The ruins are plain to behold. The plunderers are at \~ark before our very eyes. They are those who contend senselessly for the prestige of public office and shame the great traditions of the Capitol with their self-seeking; they are those who make a caricature of the heroic freedom of the continent builders by cloaking monopolistic pillaging with the banner of free enterprise. There is a side to American society today that reminds one of nothing so much as the spectacle of the barbarians of late Roman times squatting in imperial palaces and awkwardly strutting in shoddy purple. Our barbarians are more outwardly refined and often harder to recognize. Almost at times they seem to be all of us. Let me list a few of the pillagers: within the academic world there is the subsidizing athlete at one end of �the scale, the cynical graduate student, working for his "union card" the Ph.D. degree, at the other. Or perhaps these are victims of more clever plunderers, the sports promoters and the educationalist racketeer. Outside there are the stock jobbers and suaver financial promoters, those labor leaders who have turned the hopeful aspirations of their followers into a source of profit and power for themselves, the salesman and advertiser, the entertainer, who enriches himself by appealing to public tastelessness. On every hand the work of patriotic plundering goes on, feeding on the credulity and fears of an unwieldy populace. I sketch this picture for no demagogic reasons. I am not summoning you to a crusade. As thoughtful, well-balanced men you know this side of the world into which you are going and you abhor it. What I would do today is to consider with you what your St. John's experience has given you to help you live in this world and how in turn you can help St. John's to live in it. I dwell on barbarism and ruin, not because that is all there is, but because that is what challenges us all to building and rebuilding according to the pattern laid up in heaven. St. John's was chartered in our own heroic age to rebuild from the ruins of an earlier war the republic of learning that had been King \Villiam's School. Its charter affirms the principles of freedom of the individual and responsibility to society that are the American heritage. It makes plain that through liberal education these principles are kept in being. And it dedicates St. John's forever to this purpose. Because of this dedication you have had four years of freedom and responsibility. You have practiced these principles in your studies and in your community life. You have made mistakes; you have abused at times your freedom and neglected your responsibility, but the fact that you have been judged worthy of the degree proves that in greater measure you have lived up to the principles. Living up to principles was the test of the auxiliaries in Plato's Republic. Knowledge of principles was the end to which the education of the guardians through dialectic was direct(ld. Though I do not offer you to the world as ready made guardians, I do remind you that in idea and essence the work you have done for your degree has been directed towards knowledge of the principles you have lived up to. From the very beginning of your course with Homer's Iliad, the nature and limitations of man's freedom have been a persistent theme, and his responsibility to his fellows your constant study. Freedom and responsibility have been portrayed epically and tragically in the characters of Achilles and Agamemnon, of Oedipus and Antigone. The ironic scrutiny of Socrates has helped you disentangle their essential statement from the bemazed opinions of the Sophists. The Hebraic and Christian scriptures have raised them to the high level of theology, whence Augustine and Thomas have drawn them down in systematic detail. The still unmet challenge of the scientific revolution, reflected in Bacon, Hume, Kant and Hegel, speaks to you today from the whirlwind of Marx and Curie. Has your reading of the Great Books fitted you to descend into this cave of the winds ? \i\That hopeful signs can I point to, what prognostications make, that will fulfill my duty as Commencement Orator and yet preserve my honesty and intellectual integrity? I detect one hopeful sign. We hear less, as time goes by, of "the economic interpretation of history." The notion i l'. ·~ prevalent at the time of my graduation from college twenty-two )'ears ago, that politics was meaningless has faded away. Too many of you. through service in the Armed Forces, have participated in the ultimate politics of our times, not to have learned its awful meaning. The restoration of the supremacy of politics over economics restores to relevance the freedom of the will. It restores the possibility that you may face the world as rational men, that you and your society have choices open to you again. There is good or evil to be chosen and tragic greatness to be attained. I know this prediction of mine will be drowned out by the soothing voices preaching adjustment and offering psychiatry to exercise the world's ills. Do not listen! There is not a world to get adjusted to, but a free world to build, if you have truly gained the freedom signified by your degree. Words inevitably betray us into generalities. Am I not an unworldly professor, naively ignorant of the realities you face, the need for a job or a professional training, the desire to provide for your families or to start a family? No, I am not. These are realities, but their reality lies in the ultimate happiness or misery that will come from the choices you make. Conditions and necessities will limit you and restrict your choices, but will not govern you, if you are truly realistic. This is what I mean when I affirm that the crisis of the world today has restored politics to its proper dominance as the art of governing society. The assumptions of the period between the wars that economic determinations governed still linger on in the stereotyped expression "we live in an age of specialization," "it's a highly competitive world." Many people still govern themselves according to these precepts. In hundreds of colleges students have chosen chosen courses to fit themselves for a job with Standard Oil, General Motors, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. A substantial minority have fled this bleak prospect by taking refuge in the lost cause of culture and the arts. I suggest that both these groups are unrealistic. The world you are fit to build and are going to build is a world of cooperation not competition. All signs point that way; the world federation movement, the gropings of the national administration toward policies of naional assistance in housing, health, education and civil rights, the countless cooperative endeavors of private groups, all point to the end of the era of competition. You are equipped to find your place, to make your place in this world that is gradually emerging from the ruins. Your liberal education must be thrown into the balance as the issue emerges whether the new world of cooperation is to be one of free and responsible cooperation of rational men or one in which the cooperative principle is exploited by the manipulation of a few. Those graduates who have trained themselves towards a specific job have placed themselves in jeopardy of becoming efficient servitors of the machine, technicians who permit themselves to be used as means to an unexamined end. This seems to be the avowed purpose of Soviet edus:ation. In our own society the same end is being pursued unconsciously. I do not subscribe to the view that a few wicked monopolists are deliberately constructing a fascist society. I do believe that the great industrial system we have built up is operated by people who see it as an end in itself, and this is the stage setting for fascism. The science of statistics is today arregating to itself the queenship of science. The clever men in the cave are trying to be philosopher kings. �j\ !! 11! i r I What can you who are going J,o,rth into this world do? First you must not flee from it, no matter how much you might long to imitate the tJ.ightingale. You must learn to kn0w it, to discern the builders from the plunderers. You must find yourselves and which of the buildingtrades you belong to and then join ithat group to which you belong. It tnay be that some of you are auxiliaries and ,,should properly be engaged in restraining the plunderers, whether as , journalists, as teachers, as Lawyers, as physicians or ..divines.' ·Some of you will be men of gold, men who will seek understanding· and through Socratic examination make clear to the rest of us the ends towards which we· are building. Each bf you will keep this goal before himself, but some among you will make it your whole lives. I wish I rnuld give you clear advice where to seek the discipline for the career of guardian. . Certainly not in the graduate schools. The only place I know is in that .''graduate s.chool" of the liberal arts towards which Scott Buchanan pointed, but whic;h is yet to be built. Some of you may help to build it. Finally all of you are artizans, men of iron.and bronze,. doing your democratic p;i,rt in ·the work of society; If we. ·are to build this new world· I· see rising, that work must be done} with a•; full rational sense, that whatever job yo.u hold is a ·necessary part of· the whole, and that you are doing what you are best fitted tci do in it'. · · St. John's has not prepped you· for graduate school though many of you will go to graduate schools and be prepared to do good work there, nor has St. John's trained you for specialized jobs in industry. To many people this means we are not a college. Often we are damned for doing nothing but read and talk. Of cm.atse we do much more, but certainly through having you read the Great Books we have drawn you from the hurried, harried seizing of the moment; the Faustian ambiguity of the modern world. By getting you to talk we have prepared you for life in a human world, where you will talk and listen and be listened to. If you have merely learned to talk to one another in a special jargon, we have failed. The fact that your final orals are open to the public, symbolizes the purpose that you are to talk to all your fellow men. Expect and learn to be misunderstood, but patiently seek understanding. There is no immediate measure of your success, but the more fully you belong in the St. John's :community, the more you will take the measure of the world's cheap and obvious standards. For the cooperative building to which I point you, you will often have to stand alone. You will stand alone the more easily because St. John's will always be standing behind you. \i\That can you do to help St. John's live in this world? For one thing, you can continue to live in St. John's, by never abandoning the Grea.1. Books. As long as you live in St. John's, St. John's will live in you. But St. John's lives not as an idea only, but as a community on this campus devoted to a common purpose. Your choices, of profession, of causes to support, of lives to live will speak, well or ill, of St. John's and will draw attention to our purpose. Your widening experience will equip you to return and tell us ho we can do our job better. : I have a few more words to 'say. I have been talking to you about the world you are going into and help build. St. John's College is also going into that world. We have a job of building to do here and need cooperation in doing it. ~ What is St. John's College? It is the progran1, we would all fay, yet everyone of us would say in a different way what the program is. ~n one sense St. John's is a myth; not a falsehood, but a wholeness of an ~dea ~awards which we all strive, but never grasp in its wholeness. The idea is the purpose to teach students to think, to give them through the Great Books, the stretching of their imaginafons out from their immediate and passiona.te responses to sensation to the greater world that men have created or chscovered by reason. ~t. John's is a logos, a connecting of many elements. When we try to brmg th~ pr~gram. int? daily. practice we are making a logos of myth. It is this which is so difficult, because connections are hard to make.. Th~ faculty are often discouraged in their attempts and much of our discu~s10n comes to deg~nerate into trivial dealings with the crooked progress 111 day to day learrnng and teach'.ng. Yet the common purpose expressed in the myth, holds us together. . Last J anuar~ I. s_aid in a college forum that St. John's College was bigger than any i.ndividual. This. I ~aid in a particular context. Today I want to repeat it and to generalize it. In the cooperative endeavor that ':'e. are t?ere is ~oom for all individuals who accept our purpose, and parti~ipate m the bigness of St. John's. St. John's is bigger than any individual, even than Scott Buchanan. He himself realized this and left St. John's because there was forced on him the state of being St.John's, which, if St. John's was to be, could not be. Buchanan's angelic utterances will echo forever through these grounds. They will, if we are true to our purpose, be responded to by other voices, in a great chorus of learning. St. J ohn'.s College ~s bigger than any group - students, faculty, board, alumm, commumty. St. John's invites all individuals and all groups, who share our purpose, to join with us in the task of buildina the college for the future. It invites anyone, whether student, tutor, board member, alumnus, who cannot join in this task to leave and let us get on with the work we have to do. I would not encl on a negative note. I would like to raise before you the colors of St. John's, black and orange, and learn from them what we are. The black is _the dep~hs of. Plato's. cave, the orange, the rising sun . seen through the chsappearmg nusts of ignorance. We are always in the cave and are the cave. It i~ our essence as learners. Let us hope that '!"e may some clay come out mto the clear golden sunlight of the Platonic ideas. a � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
