Chartered as St. John's College, 1785 �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE VISITORS AND GOVERNORS OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE: As this report is being written, contractors are preparing bids on two significant additions to St. John's College: the Francis Scott Key Memorial Auditorium and a modern laboratory building. These structures, costing approximately two million dollars, will immensely improve the teaching facilities of the College and will enhance the general appearance of the campus. Grants from the State of Maryland totaling $750,000 and a generous commitment of $1,250,000 from Old Dominion Foundation of New York City enable the College to realize its building plans. The Key Memorial will contain an auditoriuhi with a seating capacity of 600. An ample stage has been designed for lectures, concerts, motion pictures, and theatrical presentations. A choral and conversation room seating 200 will be used for the College chorus and for the discussion periods following the Friday night lectures. The building will likewise contain two music seminar rooms, two music practice rooms, a music library and office, a lobby-lounge, and facilities for the fine arts. The laboratory building will house ten laboratories: four for biology, four for physics, and two for chemistry. Features of the building will be a series of small project rooms along each corridor, a Foucault pendulum, and a planetarium. The. structure will provide the most modern facilities for teaching laboratory science, which is an integral part of the St. John's curriculum. Volume VIII OCTOBER, 1956 PubUshetl flkWllrZ, Entered as Second-class matter, February 18, 1949, at the Post Office, at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912. It is appropriate that this development is taking place on the 160th anniversary of the graduation of Francis Scott Key from St. John's College. Nationally famous for his authorship of "The Star Spangled Banner," Key was a loyal alumnus of this College and an ardent advocate of the liberal arts education for which it has stood. Key thought of a college as giving "strength and preparation for the whole life." In an address delivered in 1827 in St. Anne's Church in Annapolis he cited the goals confronting a student as "patience in investigation, accuracy of research, perseverance of labor, resolution to conquer difficulty, zeal in the cause of learning and virtue." In • 1 • �In this year, when St. John's College embarks on the :rn ambitious building program in its history, it is necessary o~t re-affirm the tenet that a college is not bricks and mort 0 not a beautiful campus, not a long-standing tradition Ita~, rather a community of young men and young women se~rchi~s for truth in company with their teachers and indeed making the "great and the good of every age" their associates thei; in~tructors, and their examples. Only if students and faculty ahke adhere to this fundamental proposition will St. John's College continue to make a significant contribution to education. At the same time the improved physical surroundings and the more adequate tools of learning should complement the efforts of the whole learning community. Rhodes scholar, who comes to St. John's from the ia an.d a of Chicago and the University of Puerto Rico; iver%-tyGrattan, who ~olds. degrees from the University of enrY ." and Yale Umvers1ty and who has most re~ently iscons~~rer in humanities at Hobart College; and Michael een le_c educated in Paris in music, philosophy and theology, sso~ginbeen an instructor in the educational program of the ho as Native Service. Three new interns have also been Ias~at d. William F. Gleason, lawyer and former Treasurer ppoin en. of the Harvard Salzburg Seminar in American nd _De~Richard A. Sears, a candidate for the degree of Doctor tu~~U~sophy in English Literatl!-re at Harvard Univ~rsit;v f former member of the teachmg staffs at Nagasaki Umand ~Y and Tufts University; and William F. Wynn, who has versi an instructor in music at Williams College. The new bee~intments mean an increase in the ~acult;v fr?m 18 meJ?aPPs to 23. The total teaching staff mcludmg ~nterns :will ber ber 27 as compared with 22 in the academic year. JUSt ~~JI'ed, and will thus maintain a student-faculty rat10 of approximately 7 to 1. The Faculty Faculty Study Group effect he forecast the present curriculum of St. John's c ll when he went on to say : "Then is he to be made familiaro ~ge the sages and heroes of antiquity, to catch the inspirati With their genius and their virtue, and the great and the go 0 ~ of every age and of every land are to be made his associate~ h~f instructors, his examples." ' ls Since I became president seven years ago it has been my cardinal aim to maintain the strongest possible teaching faculty and to provide for them conditions which would contribute to their general well-being and to their further intellectual growth and development. It is therefore particularly gratifying to announce the establishment of the first endowed tutorship at St. John's College, to be known as the Arthur de Talma Valk Tutorship. The new chair honors Dr. Arthur de Talma Valk, a graduate of the College in the Class of 1906 and a prominent surgeon of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Donors are Dr. and Mrs. Arthur de Talma Valk Jr. of Wilmington, Delaware. ·' ' The teaching internship program established by the Fund for the Advancement of Education has had a stimulating effect upon the College over the past several years. Two of the interns, Thomas K. Simpson, a graduate of St. John's College in the Class of 1950, and John A. Bremer, M.A. 1951 from Cambridge University, have accepted faculty appointments for the coming year. A third intern, Seth Benardete, a graduate of the University of Chicago, will return for his second year of internship. . Other new faculty members for the coming academic year mclude Charles G. Bell, a graduate of the University of Vir• 2 . In most colleges and universities there is pr~s~ure on. eac.h faculty member to engage in rese!lrch and ~r1~mg. which is expected to contribute to the prestige of the ms~1tut~on: ~uch research does serve the useful purpose of keepmg md1v1dual faculty members abr.east of develo:pments. in their fields ~ve_n though it may not improve teachmg skills. Moreover it is useful in combating the insidious tendency of a faculty to grow stale or to surrender to routine performance. At St. John's however individual research projects are almost precluded' by the d~mands that teachi_ng imposes o~ th_e f~culty. As the Dean points out, "There is hardly an mstitution. of higher learning in this country which taxes the teachmg energies of its faculties as much as St. John's does. And although practically every member of the St. John's Facul~y is continually learning, especially in the first. Y:ears ?f his service at the College, so as to be able to participate m the teaching throughout the. program, ~his learnin? is confined to material dealt with m the semmars, tutorials, and the laboratory." Recognizing the need of members of the Faculty to enlarge their horizons to investigate beyond the program and to study in fields which may not necessarily bear a direct relationship to actual teaching, the College has instituted a Faculty Study Group. Planned as a permanent unit with rotating member• 3 • �ship the group will receive financial assistance from the Fund for the Advancement of Education. Each year so~e three to six faculty members will be relieved of a part of their teaching duties in order to concentrate on an i~tensive st1:1dy of subject matters agreed upon by the Instru~tion Col!lmittee. Outside experts will be invited to spend per10ds of time at St. John's in the role of consultants, perhaps lecturing as well to the entire college community. The theme chosen for the academic year 1956-57 is "Classical Logic and Modern Logic," involving the ~tudy C!f modern symbolic logic in its various aspects. Certam medieval texts will be used as well as Plato and Aristotle. During the first year five faculty members will constitute. the Faculty St~dy Group. It is significant to note that tl~e impulse to establish the new plan originated in the Faculty itself. Faculty Salaries In my last annual report I anno~l!ced adopt~on in principle of a new faculty salary scale provid~ng a mmimum salary of $3000 for teaching interns and a maximum of $8000 for tutors. The schedule calls for tenure appointments for most faculty members at approximately age 35 ap.d .at a .salar~ of $6000. The first increment to bring all salaries mto lm~ with the new scale became effective during the past academic year. I am now happy to announce that the new s~ale has been pla.ced in full operation as of July 1, 1956. This was made possible in large measure by two grants totaling some $150,000 from the Ford Foundation, both of which y;ill be used for the endowment of more adequate faculty salaries. . The Ford Foundation recognized the immense need of . all colleges and universities for fu~~s to increase fac?ltY sa}aries. It originally appropriated 50 million dollars to assist :i;egio~~lly accredited independent four-year colleges . a;rid umversitie~. · This sum was later augmented by 210 mill~ons to ~ake it possible for all eligible institutions to share m the aid. One of the grants to St. John's College r~prese~ts its share of the latter appropriation based on the size of its faculty payroll for the 1955 fiscal year. It is most grati~yi~g tc;> report that St. John's College is also one of the 126 mstitutions to share in the original appropriation of 50 million 4ollars. These institutions were singled out by the Foundation for bonus grants because of . their e~orts to s~oulde.r the burden of faculty salary increases without outside .aid over tl~e past several years. St. John's College has received J:J.nproximately . 4 . h If of its share of both of these grants and will receive the alance during the coming fiscal year. I should like to take r:is opportunity to make of public record the gratitude whic)l the Faculty feels to the Trustees of the Ford Foundation and Iso to the Trustees of Old Dominion Foundation, which is :enerously matching the Ford grants. Mention should also be made in this report that a home loan fund for faculty members has been established, Recognizing the problem facing many facu]ty ~embers of building up a sufficient cash fund out of savmgs m order to make a down ayment on the purchase of a home, the Board has wisely ~dopted a proposal for advancing loans to members of the Faculty to assist them with such initial expenses in the purchase or constr~ction C!f a house .. This program is another important step m helpmg to provide faculty members with living conditions which will be conducive to good teaching. The Students The total enrollment of the College reached 166, the highest figures since the academic year 1950-51. There were 80 freshmen, 47 sophomores, 18 juniors and 21 seniors. Sixteen seniors were graduated on Commencement Day, and four more have since received their diplomas after fulfilling all requirements. In general it may be said that the community life of the College was better for the presence on the campus of a larger number of students. Although most student organizations functioned well, there was still a widespread undergraduate unwillingness to assume the responsibilities which must accompany any effective student government. Perhaps because many students are more preoccupied with the curriculum, they are quite content to leave to the administration the rules of residence under which they live. This is an understandable position even though one may regret it. The Prospective Students The Director of Admissions predicts a capacity entering class of 90 freshmen of whom approximately one-fourth are W?men. The size of this enrollm~nt means that the College will probably have to establish a waiting list for applicants for the fall of 1957. It is interesting to note that 18 states and 2 foreign countries are represented among the students who have been admitted to the Class of 1960. Approximately one• 5 • �third are Marylanders, many of them recipients of State scholarships. The considerable increase in the number of applications for admission seems to have justified the decision reached last summer to let the College film "The St. John's Story" carry the major burden of recruitment. An active program of publicity was undertaken through educational journals civic clubs, church periodicals, and direct school mailings t~ assure a wide distribution of the film, additional prints of which were purchased. The film was shown in 435 public high schools, in 41 states, and to 95 preparatory school audiences. The over-all summary for the year listed 592 showings before audiences aggregating 75,305 people. In addition the film was broadcast over three television stations and was shown to many visitors to the campus. It was one of four non-commercial American films selected to be shown at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and the United States Information Service has purchased the rights to the film for international distribution. Mr. James Tolbert, who assumed the position of Director of Admissions at the beginning of the year, has demonstrated initiative and ability. He has been assisted both by a faculty committee on admissions and by an active group of St. John's students. At his instigation, conversations and correspondence were carried on with representatives of the College Entrance Examination Board with a view to enabling the College to reach an intelligent decision on the long-debated problem of affiliation with the Board. It was decided to unde'I"take a systematic study of the validity of College Board testing as a predictor of academic performance at the College and therefore of its usefulness in contributing to admissions decisions. Fifty-six members of the entering class took tests in November provided by the Educational Testing Service. Their scores will be compared with their performance as students at the end of their sophomore year. Another important step during the year was the decision to join the College Scholarship Service, an affiliate of the College Board. It describes itself, its aims, and its procedures as follows : The College Scholarship Service is a cooperative activity of the participating colleges . . . for handling the confidential statements submitted by parents in support of application for financial aid and for the exchange of infor mation among the colleges on scholarships, loans, and other forms of student aid. • 6 . The colleges using the Service join in the belief that scholarships should be awarded to students selected on the basis of ability and promise but that the amount of the awards should vary according to the financial need of the students and their families. The questions asked in the "Parents' Confiden~ial Statement" are designed to bring out the informat10n needed by the colleges to understand clearly the family financial picture and to assure that financial aid can be awarded to those qualified students who need it most. Substantially all applicants for financial aid have been required to submit t?e Parents' Confidential Statement. Computations based on this sta;tement and prepared by the Treasurer of the College have guided the Scholarship Committee in awarding financial aid to prospective students. The Curriculum The Dean reports that the modified plan for the senior functioned ~ell and elimi_nated a degree of apathy which had _appeared m recent semor classes. Full seminars alternat~d irregularly with seminar tutorials. For the latter t?e se~mar wa~ som~times divided into three groups, some~ times mto two, m which the student made an assigned report prior to a general discussion. se~inar . 1:hese report~ eith.er summarized a book or parts of a book, mdicated the. historical background of events described in a book or the literary model of certain passages in a book or gave analyses of certain c~aracters in a book. The subj~cts of all these repor~s were directly related to the discussion in the ~om~on s~mmar. Attempts were made to summarize tuto!ial discu~s10ns at the comme:icement of the following full semmar meetmg. Ev~n when ~his was not done, experience showed that ~he s~mmar rec~ived fresh impulses from the unr~port~d. discu~s10ns. At times, varticularly during the thesis-writn:~g peri.od, one of the seminar leaders reported on a.broa~ subJect, his lecture then being followed by a general discuss10n. 1:h~ In~truction Committee has decided to make certain revis~ons m the seminar reading list of the freshman and, especially, of the s?phomore year. It was the feeling of the Instruction Committee that the sophomore seminars have always suffer.ed ~ro;m .t~o great a concentration of heavy theology, lea~mg m mdividual cases to a feeling of saturation and frustration. . 7 . �As to the other branches of the. program, the work in the laboratory was apparently good, particularly the exercises of the sophomore year and the second half of the junior year The sophomore language tutorial is fulfilling expectations, but the freshman tutorial is still an open problem. Consideration is being given by the Instruction Committee to the advisability of diminishing the number of languages used in the tutorials In the sophomore year there will be a condensation of Ptolemy' long overdue, and a change in the teaching of algebra in th~ third term of the mathematics tutorial. For the first time members of the Faculty without professional competence in music led some of the freshman music tutorials and did so quite successfully. The problem of finding tutors for the music tutorials seems a permanent one. Although ideally almost every member of the Faculty should be able to lead a music tutorial in the same way in which he can lead a language or mathematics tutorial, it is doubtful whether this end goal can be achieved. During the coming academic year the sophomores will have two weekly music tutorials until the third term, when the music tutorial will be dropped to allow more time for the writing of the annual essay. The Instruction Committee discussed at great length the question whether the learning load of the students was too heavy in view of the leisure required for any learning to be effective. The unanimous opinion within the Instruction Committee was that the load, except for some short stretches in the course of the four years, was not too heavy. This question will be raised again and again. The Library Library policy came up for active discussion both in the Library Committee and in faculty meetings. The principles generally agreed upon were these: (1) The function of the St. John's Library is to support the teaching and the learning of the College. (2) It is only possible to anticipate within rather narrow limits what books should be acquired by the Library to serve the purpose of the College. In addition to all texts and best translations of books directly dealt with in the program, and of books directly related to their tradition, reference works and representative books in all major fields of. learning should be in the Library. (3) The Library should not try to be complete or to "keep abreast" in any field . • 8 • The problem facing the Librarian has been that of intelligent book purchase in the light of these principles. Faculty rnernbers and others competent in particular fields have been asked to submit recommended lists of books. These have been checked against the library catalogue with a view to making the collection more complete. New overhead lights were installed in the King William Room during the Christmas recess and greatly improved the roorn both for reading and the Friday evening question period. The record collection was moved to the Library basement. The Librarian reports a large circulation of both records and musical scores among students and faculty. A special activity of the year was the Woodrow Wilson Book Exhibit in connection with the centennial celebration of his birth. Among the many gifts to the. Library, mention should be made of three books from the Unicorn Press: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a beautifully illustrated edition; W olfgahg Fugger's A Handwriting Manual; and The Life of John Wilkes, Patriot, an unfinished autobiography, all presented by Mr. Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., of New York City. Mrs. Carroll Van Ness, of Annapolis, Maryland, gave two handsomely illustrated volumes of L'Album de la Guerre, 1914-18; Commander and Mrs. William Van C. Brandt, of Annapolis, presented nine volumes of the Second Edition of Cicero's Works published in Geneva in 1743; Mr. Burton Wilner, of Detroit, Michigan, and Mr. John Kieffer of the Faculty made gifts of books from their personal libraries. · Even though the St. John's Library will always remain small by design and by the imposed limitations of budget and personnel, it is evident that the College will soon be in need of more space for books, study and staff work. I have asked the Librarian to begin to assemble facts and figures looking toward a necessary addition to the building within the foreseeable future. The Infirmary A new plan was undertaken this year with respect to the health service of the College whereby responsibility was shared by two Annapolis physicians on an alternating basis, Dr. Frank M. Shipley, who has been a member of the College staff since 1952, and Dr. John L. Hedeman, a graduate of the College in the Class of 1943, who commenced general practice in Annapolis in 1955. The third member of the staff was Mrs. Lydia Aston, R.N., a graduate of the College in the Class of . 9 . �1955, who served as College Nurse in the Infirmary. Thes arrangei;rients worked to the satisfaction of the Colleg~ commumty. Adult Education Adult seminars this year were offered only in Annapolis ana Baltimore and included a total enrollment of 100. Offerings included a summer seminar on modern political events ana theory, a Great Books seminar, a seminar on the philosophy of war, and a seminar in short story writing. The Seminar-inEurope, now in its fourth year, included Greece for the first time in the 1956 itinerary. Whether because of political ferment or the increase in the cost of the tour, the enrollment was considerably smaller than in 1955. Administration The College functioned smoothly throughout the year in spite of the fact that I was away from my office for the first six months of the fiscal year. Four months were spent on a trip to India on behalf of the Department of State, lecturing in Indian colleges and universities on liberal arts education and the St. John's program. Unfortunately, I contracted infectious hepatitis on the trip and following my return was confined to the Naval Hospital in Bethesda and to my home for most of November and December. It was only at the beginning of January that I could resume full-time responsibility for the College. The experience of the past year is the best evidence of the administrative stability of the College. I feel that I have able assistants to carry on the affairs of the College. The appointment of Mr. Alan Marshall of New York City as Assistant to the President with direct responsibility for publications, publicity, and public relations adds another such assistant and completes the administrative staff. Mr. Marshall comes to the College with wide experience in writing for journals and periodicals and in working for public relations firms. In addition to appointments mentioned above, the following staff changes should be noted: Mr. C. Frederick Houston, of Annapolis, Maryland, has been appointed Clerk of the Works on the two new buildings and, concurrently, Associate Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. Mrs. Isabelle Simpson was appointed Secretary to the President following the resignation of Miss Dorothy Williams, who moved to California. Mrs. Margaret Lauck was employed as Secretary to the Dean, Miss • 10 . S san Byrne as Secretary to the Director of Admissions, and urs Evelyn Sentman as secretary in the Printing Office. Mrs. ~st~lle Goddard served during the year as College Hostess and Jiousekeeper. Physical Plant Much time and effort have been expended over the past year in perfecting the plans for the Francis Scott Key Memorial Auditorium and the new laboratory building. The Faculty Campus Development Committee and those tutors particularly concerned with the laboratory, the music program and the King William Players worked closely with the College architects Neutra and Alexander, of Los Angeles, California, and with' the associate resident architects, Cochran, Stephenson and Wing, of Baltimore, Maryland. Plans and specifications were completed by the end of July and made available to contractors on August 2. Bids are to be received on August 31 and the contract awarded. Construction on the new buildings is expected to take approximately twenty months. In preparation for the new structures, the wooden shop building erected during World War II is being demolished. The art studio and the printing plant have been temporarily located in one of the veterans' housing units, student occupancy of which terminated on June 30, 1956. The other of the two remaining units was demolished in early July. The four tennis courts on the campus will likewise fall victim to the bulldozers this fall. The College urgently needs funds to build three new permanent courts in the area immediately northwest of the gymnasium. In September the Board concluded negotiations for the purchase of the Hottel property at 212 Norwood Road in Wardour as a residence for the President of the College. The transaction adds over four acres of desirable residential property to the real estate holdings of the College at a price of $55,000. Mrs. Weigle, the children and I have found the residence pleasant and restful' as a home and well adapted to the entertainment of College guests. In the same month the Charles Carroll Barrister House, a gift of Historic Annapolis, Inc., was moved from its former site on Main Street to its permanent location on the St. John's campus, between the boxwood garden and the gymnasium. A new and permanent foundation was built under the house. Some minor work has been done to make it weathertight and presentable but no funds have been available for any major • 11 • �restoration. The Board has approved the use of the house as a faculty center with public rooms on the first floor and offices on the second and third floors. On May 16, 1956, the College sold the property located at 139 Market Street to Luke Harvey Poe, Jr., of the St. John's Faculty. The purchase price was $25,000. This building had originally been given to the College by Mr. and . Mrs. Paul Mellon in 1948. With the sale of this property the Colleg_e has disposed of all its off-campus holdings not used directly for College purposes. For a number of years the exigencies of annual budgets have demanded the postponement of certain necessary repairs and replacements of the physical plant. During the spring a list of such items was compiled totaling close to $90,000. A limited campaign was conducted among members of the Board, in addition to which a generous gift of $5,000 was received from Addison E. Mullikin, a graduate of the Class of 1895, and a substantial grant of $75,000 from Old Dominion Foundation. All of this work is now in process and will be completed in mid-September. Under the program, a considerable amount is being spent for new dormitory furniture, including box springs and mattresses in all men's dormitories. Common rooms in Randall Hall, Pinkney Hall, Paca-Carroll House, and Chase-~tone House are being completely redecorated and refurmshed. Necessary plumbing alterations and roof repair are being undertaken in Randall Hall and in the dining hall an acoustical ceiling and a vinyl tile floor have been installed. Both the dining hall and the entrance hall will b~ rede~orat~d. The ancient wooden tables and benches are bemg retired m favor of attractive round tables and chairs, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Mitchell of Annapolis. All of the decoration is being done under the direction of Smyth, Urquhart & Marckwald, Inc., of New York City. 11 I All buildings on the campus with the single exception of Campbell Hall and the Boat House are being painted on the exterior. Pinkney Hall, Woodward Hall, and Reveredy Johnson House are being redecorated inside as well. The six classrooms on the third floor in McDowell Hall have all received acoustical treatment. A new roof is being installed on Chase-Stone House and a new sewer is being laid to serve the buildings on the northwest side of the campus. Finally two hard-surface parking lots are being constructed along King George Street in front of the gymnasium and beside the Chase-Stone House, • 12 • and various brick walks are being laid. This is the most extensive rehabilitation program in the history of the College. I can assure the Board that we will begin this year with our physical facilities in the best possible condition. As a matter of policy, schedules of repair, replacement, and redecoration should then be established and a fixed sum included in the budget each year to assure that necessary items receive attention. College Finances The College concluded the year with a small deficit of $3,600, as indicated in the summary financial statements appended to this report. Expenditures in all areas were well within the budgeted figures except for a few supplementary items which became necessary for College operation. The deficit arose from the fact that income from fees did not come up to the anticipated tota~. It is also sig~ifica;nt that alumni giv.ing fell short of the desired goal, as did gifts from corporat10ns obtained through the efforts of the Association of Independent Colleges in Maryland. Again it is significant that the College made available an aggregate amount of $122,308 in financial assistance to needy students. Of this total, $78,150 is accounted for by the Maryland State Scholarships, all of which were filled at the beginning of the academic year. Other scholarships and direct student aid accounted for a total of $22,622, and student aid jobs were provided in the total amount of $21,536. For the second year the Friedland Loan Fund served a most useful purpose in supplementing outright aid, loaning a total of $5,518. It is my earnest hope that loans in this amount can be made available in the futur e. Twenty-five students borrowed from the Fund and a grand total of 83 students received some form of student aid from the College. Gifts and grants to the endowment funds of the College over the past year amounted to $115,381, which total was in tur_n matched by Old Dominion Foundation of New York City. This means that the book value of the endowment funds of the Coll~ge as of June 30, 1956, stood at $1,558,027, as compared with $1,303,119 on the same date a year ago. Scudder, Stevens and Clark of New York City served as investment counsel to the College during the year. The Treasurer reports that the mechanics of inv:estment worked extremely well. Although the Finance Committee of the Boar d continued to make the actual purchases, it has been relieved of a great amount of detailed work. The firm of Singer, Dean and • 13 • �Scribner, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, continues to act as broker for purchases. In July of 1955 the securities of the College were transferred from the Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Company, of Baltimore, Maryland, to Singer, Dean and Scribner, who act as custodians of the account without cost to the College. This service has been of significant value in relieving the Treasurer of the College, who formerly was required to make frequent trips to Baltimore to supervise the securities. Grants and Gifts It is my pleasure to report the following grants and gifts received by the College during the fiscal year just ended, and to record the gratitude of the College in each instance: State of Maryland A grant of $500,000 toward the erection of an auditorium to be known as the Francis Scott Key Memorial. Foundations A grant of $1,300 from the Dr. Charles C. Cook Foundation for Charities, Inc., of Baltimore, Maryland, for scholarship purposes. A grant of $300 from The William Deiches Fund of Baltimore, Maryland, for scholarship purposes. Two grants totaling approximately $150,000 from the . Ford Foundation for the endowment of increased faculty salaries, $80,000 of which has been received. A grant of $15,000 from the Fund for the Advancement of Education toward the maintenance of a teaching internship program. A grant of $2,500 from Houston Endowment, Inc., of Houston, Texas, for scholarship purposes. Grants from Old Dominion Foundation of New York City in the following amounts : $1,250,000 to match the State grants and to complete the funds necessary for the construction of the Francis Scott Key Memorial and the new laboratory building; $115,381 in matching funds for endowment purposes; and $95,000 for current purposes. Two grants totaling $12,000 from the Raskob Foundation for Catholic Activities, Inc., of Wilmington, Delaware, toward the salary of a tutor of the Catholic faith over a four-year period 1955-1959. . 14 . A grant of $400 from the Ray S. Shoemaker Scholarship Foundation, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for scholarship purposes. A grant of $300 from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation of New York City, for a lecturer in celebration of the centennial of Woodrow Wilson's birth. Corporations and Corporate Foundations The sum of $4,565 representing the share due St. John's College from corporate gifts received from Maryland business and industry through the Association of Independent Colleges in Maryland. Two scholarships of $1,000 each and a gift of $250 from the Food Fair Stores Foundation, of Hialeah, Florida. An unrestricted gift of $1,000 from the United States Steel Corporation. An unrestricted gift of $500 from the Washington Steel Corporation. An unrestricted gift of $1,500 from the Westinghouse Educational Foundation. Individuals and Others Gifts totaling $2,850 from the Alumni of the College to establish the Clarence W. Stryker Memorial Scholarship Fund, the income from which is to be awarded annually to an upperclassman. The gift of the Charles Carroll Barrister House from Historic Annapolis, Inc. A gift of a bust of Voltaire by Houdin from Miss Ellen Lamotte, of Washington, D. C. A gift of $6,650 from Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Mitchell, of Annapolis, Maryland, toward the refurnishing of the dining hall in Randall Hall. Gifts totaling $10,680 from Walter C. Paine, a member of the Class of 1945, to be added to the endowment of the Massachusetts Regional Scholarship Fund.

International Labor Orientation Center The International Labor Center, which has been located on the St. John's campus since July 1, 1953, serves as a small but important part of the labor-management portion of the United States Technical Exchange Program. It is conducted under the auspices of the International Cooperation Administration and is under the direction of the United States Department of Labor. The primary objective of the program is to encourage and assist workers throughout the free world in their efforts to build strong, free, and democratic trade unions in order more effectively to combat communist infiltration and domination of labor organizations. Visitors from abroad represent a cross section of union officials, ·government officials, and management representatives. The program serves as the introductory phase of the . participants' visit to the United States. The aim is to provide the necessary background on the American way of life and to stimulate thought so that the visitors can later more intelligently observe industry, unions, and communities in action as they travel about the country. Normally the groups spend at least a week each on the St. John's campus, where lecturers and discussion leaders from the Faculty, from trade unions, from business, and from government address them. Their average stay in this country lasts approximately eight weeks. For St. John's College the next two years must be years of consolidation and preparation. With the completion of the Francis Scott Key Memorial and the new laboratory building in 1958, it seems appropriate that the College mark the occasion with a suitable convocation and series of public events focusing attention once again upon the liberal arts education for which this institution stands. It seems important too that the College should then embark upon a two-year general campaign effort to obtain the necessary financial undergirding for the long-term future. This means that the College should seek building funds to enlarge the Library, to add a swimming pool and other facilities to the gymnasium, to erect a new dining hall, and to reconstruct Humphreys Hall as a men's dormitory. It means as well that the College should endeavor to raise endowment monies to match the balance of the outstanding offer of Old Dominion Foundation so that future budgets of the College can be constructed upon the firm base of income from endowment funds totaling six million dollars. This is the audacious plan with which I should like to challenge the imagination and the energy of the Board as I bring this, my seventh annual report, to a close. RICHARD D. President Annapolis, Maryland August 24, 1956 In the initial year of operation at St. John's College there were 262 participants in the program from six Western European countries and the Republic of the Philippines. The number grew to 366 participants from 17 countries last year. The upward trend continued in the year under review, when St. John's College played host to 624 foreign visitors from 39 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America. * * • 16 * • 17 • WEIGLE �ST.

JOHN'S COLLEGE IN ANNAPOLIS REPORT THE OF PRESIDENT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND OCTOBER, 1957 Pounded as King William's School, 1696. Chartered as St. John's College, 1785 �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 'fO THE VISITORS AND GOVERNORS OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE: It is twenty years since Stringfellow Barr and Scott Buchanan arrived in Annapolis to inaugurate a new curriculum ·n liberal education at St. John's College. Looking back over years, one sees that their task was overwhelmingly difficult. 'fheY had to fashion a course of study for which no contemporarY pattern existed. They had to carry on their brave new experiment in a proud old institution, rich in t r adition but heavily encumbered with debt. Sharp divergence from existing traditions and educational mores was deemed necessary to assure the success of the venture. Now the College is about to embark upon its twenty-first year under the present program of studies. The intervening decades have not been easy ones but the College has prospered and the basic principles of the St. John's Program of liberal education have firmly established themselves. The community of learning which is St. John's College has survived two wars, a concerted assault by the United States Navy, and a sizeable burden of debt. As the program now comes of age, certain concrete progress can be noted in the way of curriculum evaluation and change, recognition and accreditation, faculty development, increase in endowment, and expansion of physical facilities. There is still, however, an air of expectancy and challenge as the College attempts to consolidate its gains and to establish even more firmly its base for the years ahead. Symbols of this are the seven new faculty appointments, the capacity freshman class of 108 students and the two new buildings rising on the rear campus. The year just past and the year ahead are indeed years of consolidation and preparation looking forward to the celebration of the Program's twenty-first anniversary in the fall of 1958. Significantly this event comes at a time when American educators, corporation executives, and public men are beginning to show a new appreciation of the role of liberal arts in the training of the minds of young men and women. St. John's College is no longer the pioneer that it was in 1937. the Student Enrollment St. John's College has begun to feel something of the impact of the tidal wave of prospective students which threatens to . 1 . �engulf the nation's colleges and universities within the n three or four years. For the fall of 1957 there were applications as compared with 129 in the preceding year ~ 6 mid-June it had become necessary to establish a waiting. r ~ for acceptable applicants. An administrative decision w1s reached at the same time to exceed the limit of 100 enteri~s freshmen prev!ously established. The entering class of 19 6 therefore consists of 108 freshmen as compared with 93 · 1956 and 79 in 1955. In this connection it is interesting ~n note that six applications have already been received for th0 fall of 1958 and one for the fall of 1959. e ::x.t ! Much of the growing interest in St. John's College can be attributed to the effectiveness of the College film, "The St John's Story." Sixty prints of this film were in almost constant use throughout the year as showings were held in more than 600 secondary schools and colleges in some forty states and to an aggregate recorded audience of over 90,000 persons Interestingly enough, a black and white version of the film with a special script written in the third person and translated into eight foreign languages is now being exhibited abroad by the United States Information Agency. Again last fall the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board was administered to 70 of the entering freshmen as part of the study of the validity of this test as a predictor of academic performance at the College. A year earlier it had been administered to 56 members of the Class of 1959. In June the Instruction Committee studied all these scores and was impressed by the degree of correlation between them and the performances of individual students at the College. The Instruction Committee determined to repeat the test for members of the entering Class of 1961 and instructed the Director of Admissions to explore with the College Entrance Examination Board the requirements for membership. The Instruction Committee must determine whether the possible institution of the Scholastic Aptitude Test would provide a further useful criterion of admission. With the increasing pressure upon the College from larger and larger groups of applicants, there is no thought of changing the present plan of reviewing each application as it is received and reaching an independent decision upon the candidate's ability to undertake and profit from the St. John's Program. The College believes that there is value in having a cross-section of abilities as well as of geographical, racial, religious and educational backgrounds. It deplores the tendency of many institutions to withhold their decision as to the acceptability of candidates until late in the spring, thereby • 2 • ing prospective students to file multiple applications a~d f<t~ing all institutions in a position of uncertainty as to their ~c~ual enrollment for the coming fall. The Faculty The principal innovation of the past year was the Faculty dy Group made possible by a grant from the Fund for the Stdvancement of Education. Five faculty members were sched~ d to teach part-time and met three or four times w~ekly to ut~dy symbolic logic, principally the works of Qume and 1'arski. The group had to organize its work without rel~ing n any precedents. It engaged three con~ultan~s at varn~us ~..mes during the year and held one meetmg with the entire f~culty on the occasion of the visit of Mr. Willa;rd Q~ine to the campus. A Friday night lecture on symbolic logic was likewise offered by Mr. Curtis Wilson by way of a report of the work of the study group. The establishment of this Study G~ou~ with rotating m~m­ bership has been an important contribut10n toward enlargmg the intellectual horizons of the St. John's facu~ty. Because of the peculiar technical difficulties of the subJect the Study Group had to work on a rather restricted basis during this past year. In the year ahead, however, Poetics will be the subject for exploration, involving the participants in analyses of works of poetry and music, in investigatio.n of the problem of style and in discussion of the general question as to whether there is a science of poetics. The Dean and I confidently hope that the Faculty Study Group may be the start of a graduate program which would be a radical departure from the customary isolated departmental research. The year marked the termination of the teaching internship program begun in 1954 through a grant from the Fund for the Advancement of Education. Seth Benardete served his second year in this program. while initial fellowsh~p~ were held by William F. Gleason, Richard A. Sears and Wilham F. Wynn. One of these men, Mr. Gleason, was appoin~ed to tl~e Faculty for the coming year. The College found the mternsh1p program an effective device for educating prospective tutors to teach in the St. John's program. For various reasons, however, it seems wise to incorporate all new teachers into the regular Faculty as tutors. It is proposed therefore that the internship program as such be discontinued, although the College expects to appoint two or three able young men and women each year, of whom the more promising will be encouraged to continue as members of the Faculty until eligible for tenure appointment . • 3 • �The Faculty was strengthened by the return of Ri Scofield after his sabbatical leave. For the year under r ch'.lrd William A. Darkey, Jr., was granted sabbatical leave to ~riew in Mexico. For the year immediately ahead two tutors u~y be on such leave, John S. Kieffer and Robert S. Bart. win It is with genuine regret that I report the resio-nation Raymond N. Wilburn as tutor to accept a position"' involv· of educational responsibilities with the Glenn L. Martin g1g Except for brief periods while on active duty with the Unit~ States Navy and while principal of the American Communii School in Paris, Mr. Wilburn has taught at St. John's Colle Y since 1938. For two years he served as Dean. His service gi the College, as well as that of his wife who managed the Bo~ Store for four years, will always be remembered with gratitud: I should also like to report the temporary leave of absenc granted to Mr. A. Leonard Slafkosky to serve in a civilia~ capacity on a special project for the United States Marine Corps. This leave was granted in the spring of 1957 to be effective through the coming academic year. New Appointments Seven new appointments have been made to the Faculty for the fall of 1957, which will bring the total teaching staff of the College to 30. In addition to Mr. Gleason, the new tutors are: Scott Abbott, of the Class of 1943, who has been teaching in Colorado and will serve as tutor and Director of Athletics· Miss Ruth Adams, who is trained in physiotherapy and hold~ her doctorate in English from the University of Maryland· Miss Eva Brann, who is a Ph.D. in Classics from Yale Uni~ versity and comes to St. John's College from teaching at Stanford University; Michael Fletcher, a chemist who has had extensive industrial experience and has done advanced work at the University of Delaware; Duncan J. McDonald a Canadian biologist, who studied at McGill, Harvard and Oxf~rd Universities and has had a great deal of practical experience in radiation effects in Japan and in locust control in Africa; and Edward Sparrow, who did his undergraduate work at Harvard and holds his law degree from Harvard Law School. The Curriculum In September the Faculty agreed to abandon the trimester pattern and instead to divide the academic year into two semesters. The effect of this was to reduce the number of oral examinations and "don rags" for both students and tutors. • 4 • neral this proved to be beneficial except in the case of lJl 1~eshmen. It is planned to revert to the plan of three "don tbe ,, for the entering class, the first of these to take place rags the middle of the first semester. As a break in the middle JleaJie year tutorials and laboratory sections were suspended of ing the last week .of the first semester. Seminar.s continued ~~rusual. This experimental plan seemed to promise well for tbe future. With respect to the curriculum in general, the Instruction cornrnittee has been. pa!ticularly concerned with ~he problems ·sing out of the J um or year, notably the semrnar and the ar~oratory program. The junior year, as i~ were, marks a law beginning for the students as they are rntroduced to the neeat authors of the 17th and 18th centuries. This involves f~e St. John's student in the same kind of r~dical r~-think~ng which took place during that period and laid the roundat10n for the modern world. Another major decision of the Instruction Committee is to discontinue the teaching of algebra in the sophomore year commencing with the academic year 1958-59. Instead prospective sophomores will be subjected to an algebra test. Those who fail to pass the test will. be required to pr~par~ themselv~s on their own instead of takmg valuable tl!-torial .time for this work which should have been accomplished rn secondary school. The juniors will have more time to .devote to Newton and will be introduced to calculus. The semor laboratory can then assume that they have some operational familiarity with this subject. The Library Circulation statistics for 1956-57 on student borrowing are similar to those of other years. The total number of library loans was 7,211, the largest figure since 1948-49. Both the Librarian and the Library Committee have devoted much time to discussion of the shaping of the Library's collection and the use of the present building. The first decision arrived at was to build a strong bibliographic collection. With this in mind the College subscribed to the proposed photo-offs~t editi<;>~ of the rema.i:i;ing unpublished volumes of the Revised Edition of the British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books. Situ~ted as it is, close to. m!ljor libraries in Baltimore and Washrngton, the College is m a unique position to make use of their resources through appropriate bibliographic tools. • 5 �A second general program for the Librarian Will re-arrangement of the book collection. Little-used books ?e 1 be stored in relatively inaccessible areas so that more { 1 l q'!ently-used books can be within comfortable reach. 'rreLibrary looks forward to the removal of the music collect· he upon the completion of the Francis Scott Key Memorial . t~·n change will help to free the basement of the present Libr is building for re-designing. Finally, work will be undertakry to microfilm certain journals and periodicals and to st en others. This too will free urgently needed space. ore Jl any event the steadily increasing number of inquiries and 1tudent applications bears witness to the effectiveness of the hnege's efforts to widen its circle of friends. Unfortunately, )\1r. Marshall found it necessary to resign at the end of the year for personal reasons. His place will be taken by Peter ponchian, who comes to St. John's from the faculty of Wayne state University in Detroit, Michigan. The Library Committee in collaboration with the Campu Dev.e~opment Committee I?lans to ".'ork on the design for a~ addit10n to the present Library building. This would includ a new _work room, a new reference and bibliographic sectione book hfts, a mode.rn microfilm reader, and additional stack space, to be obtamed in part by the re-designing of the basement. In preparation for the coming campaign the College retained the management firm of Cresap, McCormick and Paget of New York City to conduct an administrative audit of the College's opera~io~s. The survey was designed to revie_w major policies and obJectives of the College and to assess their effects on administrative management, to discover ways of improving the organizational structure to give better effect to the educational program, and to suggest improvements in operating methods and procedures. Adult Education _I mus~ reg:r:etfuliy repor~ that John S. Kieffer has sub- mitt~d his resignat10n as Director of Adult Education after servmg most capably in this capacity since April 1951. Charles G. ~ell has accepted appointment in this capacity for the commg year. Included _in the Ad~lt ~ducation Program for the past year were a semmar on scientific thought, one on religious thought two on the 9-r~at Boo~s, and one on Shakespeare. There wer~ also a tutorial m Spamsh and a ten-week music tutorial coverii:ig histor~c. periods from the 10th to the 20th century. Only ~ight participan~s wen~ ~m the 1956 Seminar-in-Europe, which mcluded. Gre~ce m the itn~erary for the first time. By contrast, t~e Semmar-m-Europe this summer, offering the more convent10nal pattern of Italy, Switzerland, France and England, enrolled seventeen members. Administration The survey recommended that new policies be developed in several areas, among them auxiliary enterprises, student aid, long-range development objectives, and student recruitment. In the field of organization the survey recommended the creation of new Board committees. At the May meeting of the Board one such new committee, the Visiting Committee, was established to serve as an educational liaison group between the Board and the Faculty and the students. With respect to the administrative organization of the College itself, a recommendation that the Assistant to the President be re-designated Assistant to the President for Development Activities was also adopted. This office will now combine responsibility for public relations, publications, alumni activities and fund raising. Staff Appointments During the year Alan Marshall served as Assistant to the President with ~esp_onsibility for publicity, public relations and College publications. In spite of the fact that he had had no previous acquaintance with St. John's College, Mr. Marshall was unusually successful in making the name and objectives of St. J ?h~'s Col~ege known to a wide public. In this he had the unwittmg assistance of a popular national television show. In addition to the various appointments already detailed above Mrs. Nancy Curtler was appointed as College Hostess and s~pervised the operation of the dormitori~s. Miss P3:tric~a Callahan resigned after several years of faithful service m order to be married. Her position as Cashier in the Treasurer's Office is now filled by Mrs. Gloria Kellenbenz Boyer. Mrs. Virginia Chase was employed as evening receptionist and switchboard operator in Campbell Hall to replace Mrs. Anna Brooks who resigned. The Treasurer believes that this relatively ;mall turnover reflects general satisfaction among staff members with working conditions and with the fact that staff • 6 . • 7 . Public Relations �salaries have been increased. The permanence of the ad:rni . trative staff carries with it a sense of continuity in the aff n.is. of the College, which is to be desired. airs Physical Plant A contract was awarded on October 10, 1956, to Baltimo Contractors, of Baltimore, Maryland, for the construction r~ the Francis Scott Key Memorial Auditorium and the neo laboratory building at a base figure of $1,804,645.00. Constru w tion began in late October but was seriously hampered be. bad weather and by strikes of the Baltimore Building Trade~ and of the National Cement Workers. The present anticipated date of completion is June of 1958. Prior to the close of the fiscal year the College made a purchase deposit on the three-story wooden apartment building at 9 St. John Street. This was subsequently bought at a figure of $13,000. The building is needed as a possible dormitory commencing in the fall of 1958. During the summer months of 1956, the College spent in excess of $90,000 upon a general program of renovation and rehabilitation on the campus, as previously reported to the Board. The major item of renovation in the summer of 1957 has been the antiquated bathroom facilities in Stone House. It is planned to schedule certain repairs and redecoration each summer as part of the regular budget. Progress has also been made on restoring the Charles Carroll Barrister House. All of the brick work has been pointed up and the interior fireplaces rebuilt. A new brick wall was erected on the southwest end of the building. Over the summer the slate roof has been replaced. College Finances Current operations of the College for the fiscal ye:::.r just ended resulted in a deficit of $56,696.83. The budget for the last fiscal year was based on an enrollment of 190 students. Actually only 177 were on the rolls during the year. This meant a net loss in fees at a time when it was impossible to change most major commitments in the areas of faculty and staff appointments and of other operating expenses. More rigid budgetary control might have resulted in some savings, but not enough to make an appreciable dent on the deficit. In fact, income amounted to $565, 733.55 as compared with the budgeted figure of $593,071, while expenditures amounted to $622,430.18, or approximately $29,000 over the original estimates. • 8 . m happy to report that the College endowment now 1 ds at a figure of $1,961,850.41 at book value.

Mr. MacCarthy took a reat interest in constructive local projects, among them the ~ork of Historic Annapolis, Inc. In his will he left the sum of $10,000 to .st. John's College for use in restoring the Charles Carroll Barrister House. On December 30, 1956, Addison E. Mullikin, of the Class of 1895 died in Baltimore. Mr. Mullikin was a prominent lawyer 'at one time active in Republican politics in the State of Ma;yland. He was candidate for Governor in the 1920's. He served as Honorary Chairman of the Alumni Endo~ment Campaign several years ago and has always contributed actively to the College. By the terms of his will St. J o~n's College will receive one-fourth of the income of a ~arge residuary trust being created out of the balance of his estate. At the end of a ten-year period, the corpus will be divided, each beneficiary receiving the same percentage as his share of the income. In late April, Mrs. Kate Myers, of Ashland, Ohio, was killed in a most unfortunate automobile accident. She was the mother of Philip A. Myers II, of the Class of 1938, in whose n::emory a scholarship is awarded each year. Her daughter, Ehzabeth Myers is the wife of Carleton Mitchell of the Board of Visitors and Gbvernors. Mrs. Myers had wide interests in civic, educational and philanthropic projects. By the terms of her will St. John's College is to receive one-tenth of the residuum of a trust fund, this sum to be added to the Philip A. Myers II Scholarship Fund. Under the terms of the will of Mrs. Emily Boyce Mackubin, who died in 1946, St. John's College received $75,191.43 as one of the several remaindermen after the death of the last surviving life tenant. . 9 • �Gifts and Grants Foundations A grant of $15,000 from Avalon Foundation of New y ork City, contingent upon the College's raising a like amount for the restoration of the Charles Carroll Barrister Hous e.

The Alumni Award of Merit was given on Homecoming Day to Dr. Thomas Parran, of the Class of 1911, Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh. Carey Jarman, of the Class of 1917, did an unusually good job of organizing and executing the annual giving campaign. The final tabulation showed 429 contributors and a total of $13,773.91. International Labor Orientation Center For the fourth year the Center continued to play an important role in the labor-management phase of the Federal Government's Technical Exchange Program. During the year there were 718 participants representing 41 nations, the majority remaining in Annapolis for a period of approximately two weeks. The wide range of occupational representation included among others miners, university professors, trade union functionaries, doctors, farm laborers and government lawyers. Through the generous cooperation of the local chapter of the American Association of University Women and the Rotary Club, many home visits were arranged for the foreign visitors. In some cases such visits have been arranged with families who speak the native languages of the participants. • 11 • �This new aspect of the Center's program has been most hel f , in introducing the members of the visiting teams to Americaui home life. It has likewise promoted a better understanding in the community of this work being carried on at St. J ohn'n College. s * * * Finally, I should like to report to the Board on my own personal activities over the past year. First and foremost 1 was able to teach Euclid to a class of freshmen. I found it a helpful and stimulating experience to become again a teaching member of the College community. For the third and final year I continued to serve as Chairman of the Commission on Liberal Education of the Association of American Colleges Four intellectual-life conferences for college presidents and deans were run this summer under my general direction at Pugwash, Nova Scotia, Sewanee, Tennessee, and Wagon Wheel Gap, Colorado. I am convinced that these conferences all of them patterned on the St. John's seminar method, served a useful purpose in building a new understanding and respect for the philosophy and teaching methods of the College. Here in Annapolis I accepted the presidency of Historic Annapolis, Inc., the local historical and preservation society. This has entailed close cooperation with the Governor and the Mayor of Annapolis on many problems of city planning. It has also been possible for Historic Annapolis to enter into an agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Wohl by which the restoration of the Brice House has now been completed. It will be open to visitors on a paying basis this fall. The Governor re-appointed me to the School Board of Anne Arundel County and I am at present serving as president of that body. I have welcomed this opportunity to keep in close touch with the elementary and secondary education of this county. Likewise through membership on the Governor's Permanent Commission on Higher Education I have been involved in overall problems of colleges and universities in Maryland. It is true that these extra-curricular responsibilities require a great deal of time but I believe that certain benefits accru~ to the College from such active participation in civic and educational affairs. I look forward eagerly to the next two years as affording an opportunity to complete the . present phase of the building program and to strengthen the financial resources of the College through our major campaign effort commencing in July of 1958.

These funds now approximate $2,000,000 but must be tripled to assure the financial stability of the College. Planning for the future has been based upon the conviction that the College enrollment should not exceed 300 students. This will preserve the present close relationship between faculty and students. To provide adequate physical facilities for a student body of this size, new buildings will be required as well as renovations to existing structures. The College invites gifts and bequests to its current budget, to its building program, and to its permanent endowment funds. Inquiries may be addressed to the President or the Treasurer. Bequests may be made in a form similar to the following: "I hereby give and bequeath to the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in the State of Maryland, an educational corporation existing by Charter of the General Assembly of the State of Maryland and situated in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, in said State, the sum of ..... . .............. dollars." If bequests are made for specific purposes, such can be fully stated. Attention is invited to the fact that Federal and State income tax deductions resulting from such gifts may mean a cost to the donor of only a fraction of the value of the gift to the College. • 16 • �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Languages That is why St. John's College requires four years of daily tutorial include two years of Greek and one year each of French and work in mathematics-not to train professional mathematicians, but German. During the first two years, English receives special to induce habits of rigorous thought. emphasis. �Learning through Discussion . .. the Seminar A full notebook often betokens an empty mind. St. John's College shuns the pedagogical method in which an instructor lectures from notes to students who take notes and then return them via examinations. St. John's requires instead that students take an active and unceasing part in the process of reading, doing and discussing which constitutes education at this college. -economic problems in Adam Smith or Marx; -theological problems in the Bible, St. Thomas, Calvin or Luther. Because the scientific laboratory may well be the most characteristic institution of the modern world, St. John's includes four years of laboratory science in its Program. Students work in physics, chemistry and biology and meet six hours a week for laboratory exercises and discussion. Like all other parts of the St. John's Program, the seminar aims at developing the student's comprehension in reading, his powers of analysis, his breadth and balance of thought and his ability to express himself clearly, tolerantly and forcefully. The seminar exemplifies the way in which St. John's looks on learning as a cooperative venture. Neither in tutorials nor in seminars do students ever passively sit to be talked at. The task of the laboratory at St. John's is to provide a background of experiment and discussion from which a liberal understanding of science gradually emerges. In each seminar, some twenty classmates gather around a table twice a week with two or three of their tutors. For two hours, and often longer, they discuss : -philosophical problems which arise from their reading of Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant or Kierkegaard; -scientific problems in Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Mendel, Darwin or Poincare; -historical and political problems in Herodotus, Thucydides, Tacitus, Machiavelli, Locke, Gibbon, the Federalist Papers, Hegel or de Tocqueville; -literary problems in Euripides, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, Dostoievski or Thomas Mann; Learning through Doing . .. the Laboratory The inquiring student discovers the fundamental assumptions made in actual experiment. He carefully follows the transposition of those assumptions as well as of experimental findings into suitable mathematical symbols. St. John's College believes that liberal learning is not primarily concerned with the factual data uncovered by science. The College believes that liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human hand only to the extent that they enable the human mind to transcend the factual by relating it to universal principles. �A Community of Learning The seminar, the tutorials, the laboratory and the formal lecture work together in the well-knit whole which is the St. John's Program. What the student learns in one branch bears on his studies in the others. A vital element in this homogeneity of learning is the fact that teachers at St. John's do not confine themselves to "specialties." A philosopher may conduct a tutorial in mathematics; a man who teaches Greek may also have charge of a laboratory group in biology. Learning through Listening . .. the Formal Lecture The St. John's Program enables a tutor to develop versatility of this kind. He attends classes in the same way as a student; his own learning goes along On Friday evenings the College assembles to hear a lecture or-three times a year-a concert. Only on such with his teaching; just as the students do, he progresses from year to year in occasions does St. John's depart from its policy of student participation, and then not wholly: each lecture the curriculum; and this continuous learning and teaching brings him, in an is followed by question-and-answer and informal discussion. ever increasing measure, into closer contact with the entire program.

They play tennis, squash, softball, baseball, basketball and touch football. Some attend weekly fencing lessons which the College offers, and meet for informal matches with groups from nearby colleges. In a similarly spontaneous manner, others play basketball games with teams from elsewhere. In spring and early fall, students sail the College fleet of small boats in College Creek. Other extra-curricular activities include dramatics, publications, clubs for rifle shooting and photography and astronomy, modern foreign language clubs, the showing of movie classics by the Film Club, and classes in painting, poetry, and the Bible. The Cotillion Board stages dances for the College community, and the dormitories give parties in their common rooms. �What St. John's Students Do After They Graduate "We generally share one further conviction about civilized men; that a well- and broadly- St. John's College: Essential Information Founded: 1696 as King William's School.

The diversity between these two leading choices reflects the breadth of interest which the College nourishes Cost: Inclusive fee of $2,300 for room, board and tuition. (Beginning 1963: $2,500.) Scholarships: Flexible program of scholarships, grants, loans and student employment. All awards based on financial need. in its students. Policy: Nonsectarian, coeducational; no racial or religious bars. Other Program alumni chose a wide range of careers-in accounting, acting, editing, engineering, preaching, writing. Still others are lawyers, librarians, physicians, surgeons, social workers. One is a movie producer, one a musician and one a curator in an art museum.

JOHN'S COLL.EGE IN ANNAPOLIS REPORT THE OF PRESIDENT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND OCTOBER, 1960 Founded as King William's School, 1696. Charte~ed as St. John's College, 1785 �Volume XII OCTOBER, 1960 Number 4 Published Quarterly Entered as Second-class matter, February 18, 1949, at the Post Office, at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912. �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To THE VISITORS AND GOVERNORS OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE: If questioning is an evidence of institutional vitality, St. John's College is both alive and vigorous as it moves into the decade of the 1960's. Important advances have been made over the past year in curriculum, faculty appointments, student procurement, administration and finance. Many of these gains, however, served but to raise new and challenging questions which the Faculty and the Board must now consider with calm and dispassionate deliberation in charting the course of the College for the years ahead. The year witnessed an invitation from a group of citizens on the Monterey Peninsula in California to discuss the possibility of establishing a second St. John's College in that area. This suggestion poses many questions quite apart from the grave problem of financing a new institution: the matter of administrative control, the relationship of two institutions on opposite coasts, the task of discovering and training new faculty members in sufficient numbers to staff both institutions and the problem of creating in a totally new situation the proper traditions conducive to an atmosphere of thought and learning. A faculty committee is presently studying the ramifications of such a development and will report at an early fall meeting. As an alternative to colonization the question has been raised of enlarging the student body on the campus in Annapolis. For at least three decades, the figure of 300 students has persisted in the minds of the Board and Faculty as the optimum size for this institution. There may, however, be some merit in a slightly larger enrollment which would produce more variety in faculty and student body, somewhat greater anonymity for the individual student and a much more efficient use of the campus. On the other hand, to increase the enrollment by planned steps to 400 students or 450 students would mean a dilution of the present endowment of $20,000 for each student or would require the raising of additional endowment funds. It would also be necessary to construct a new dormitory and more adequate facilities for recreation and boarding. This in turn would involve questions as to the most effective and efficient planning for the entire campus area. Still another question arises out of the College's responsibility to the community. The facilities of the Francis Scott Key Memorial Hall and Mellon Hall are more extensive than • 1 • �necessary for a college with an enrollment of 300 students. The International Labor Center has been a successful venture in using surplus college facilities while at the same time serving the government. However, this program may well end at this location in another year and the question arises as to whether the Faculty and the College should consider a twoyear community college, a Master's program for future college teachers, a summer institute for teachers from Anne Arundel and neighboring counties, or an intensified program of conferences for a variety of organizations. Finally, there is an even more important area of questioning, that having to do with the curriculum. Specific question arises with respect to the laboratory program, as to whether the amount of actual laboratory work might be reduced; thus achieving more real thinking and greater flexibility in the laboratory experiments. There is question about the language program, especially the amount of elementary work required by one year of German and one year of French in the junior and senior years. There is also a question with regard to the order and content of mathematics throughout the St. John's course. These and other questions were sharpened by the visit which St. John's tutors paid to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in March, the first in an exchange of visits between faculty members of the two institutions. It appears then that, in recording for the Board the accomplishments and the events of the past year, I do so against a backdrop of re-examination and re-evaluation of the St. John's program and of the physical facilities designed to foster the learning process. I am confident that both faculty and board members can in the two years immediately ahead complete the necessary study of the many problems which present themselves so that the College will have a clear direction for the future when it commences its second quarter-century under the present curriculum in 1962. The Faculty It is most gratifying to note that the College now has two major tutorship endowments. The first of these tutorships was established in honor of Dr. Arthur deTalma Valk of the Class of 1906. The initial incumbent appointed to this chair is Wiley W. Crawford, who has now completed ten years at St. John's College. The second of the endowments is that in memory of Addison E. Mullikin of the Class of 1895. Six Mullikin tutors were given appointments on this endowment: Ford K. Brown, who joined the St. John's faculty in 1925 as an associate professor of English ; Richard Scofield, who came to the College in • 2 • �1927 as an associate professor of Art and English; John S. Kieffer, former President of the College, who has been on its faculty since 1929 ; Jacob Klein, former Dean of the College, who began his first appointment as tutor in 1938; the Reverend J. Winfree Smith, who started teaching at St. John's in 1941; and the Reverend William Kyle Smith, Assistant Dean of the College, who first joined the Faculty in 1942. There were two additions to the Faculty at the start of the academic year, Thomas J. Slakey, a graduate of St. Mary's College in California, with a Ph.D. from Cornell University in Philosophy, and Edward Barksdale, a graduate of the University of Virginia, with an M.A. from the University of Chicago in the Humanites. Eva Brann, Charles Bell and Jacob Klein returned from leave of absence in the fall, and Ford K. Brown and Hugh P. McGrath began their sabbatical years. Thomas K. Simpson was granted leave of absence to study at Johns Hopkins University on a Teacher Study Grant from the Danforth Foundation. A. Leonard Slafkosky continued his special work in the Marine Corps on leave from the College, and William F. Gleason was on leave for further study, resigning at the end of the year to return to the practice of law. Two tutors reached retirement age during the year, Ford K. Brown and William Kyle Smith. Both have been reappointed on a part-time basis for the coming academic year, as has Simon Kaplan, who retired in June of 1959. I am happy that the Board has adopted a plan which makes possible up to five years of further teaching after a tutor's tenure appointment is formally completed at age 65. The College will gain much from the experience and wisdom of these senior tutors in the years immediately ahead. The Students The 1959-60 year began with 257 students distributed as follows among the four classes : Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Women Men Total 42 27 17 6 73 45 29 18 115 72 46 24 257 92 165 Totals Regrettably, 41 students withdrew prior to the close of College in June. Of these, 23 were freshmen, 13 sophomores and 5 juniors. A faculty committee is presently studying the entire • 3 • �problem of student attrition and expects to report at an early meeting of the Faculty in the fall. Student morale is always a factor in determining the rate of attrition. The Dean, one of the assistant deans, Miss Barbara Leonard, and a tutor, Malcolm Brown, addressed themselves to this problem at the Danforth Campus Community Workshop in Colorado Springs in early July. Various proposals have been formulated and will be presented to the Instruction Committee and the Faculty for appropriate action. Two very promising developments occurred toward the end of the academic year. In one case a group of students addressed a letter to the Dean and the Instruction Committee suggesting that each student be assigned to a faculty advisor who would meet with him fortnightly to discuss "any subject whatsoever." This proposal was discussed extensively and resulted in faculty action to assign incoming freshman students to faculty advisors who have been on the campus for at least a year. No set program of meetings is to be laid down but each incoming student will thus have a member of the Faculty to whom he can turn apart from those who are his regular classroom tutors. The second development had to do with student government on the campus. As the year progressed there were indications that a number of students were not satisfied with the leadership of the Student Polity. This was evidenced in part by the formation of an organization known as the Student Forum, the aim of which was to promote interest in local student affairs and in national and world problems. The Forum scheduled a discussion of platforms and issues at the time of the election of the new Student Polity officers. Under the leadership of the new Polity officers, a revised constitution was drafted for the Student Polity, whereby the Polity would assume responsibility for the Rules of Residence. The administration accepted this constitution as an adequate proposal and the Faculty concurred. The old Student Polity was dissolved by my official act and the students then proceeded to accept the new constitution under which they will be governed during the coming academic year. It is too early to predict the success of this new venture. It should certainly be said that it is most promising and that it deserves the fullest cooperation of the administration and Faculty. Curriculum In the field of curriculum, a general revision of the laboratory program is projected for the next two or three years. The plan is to employ a number of consultants who have specialized • 4 • �competence in the physical and biological sciences, and to obtain advice from them as to subjects of study and methods of presentation. The faculty members chiefly concerned with the laboratory program will be immediately responsible for the revision of the printed materials used in connection with the laboratory. One of the consultants will be Professor Sanborn Brown of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who visited the College on May 16 and 17, 1960, and had several discussions with the Dean and Messrs. Poe and Simpson. He favors a very considerable reduction in the amount of actual laboratory work, choice of experiments which entail more intellectual work and more real thinking than most of the exercises in which physical laws are merely verified. He also favors complete separation of written materials which present and develop theories from those which give instructions for laboratory procedures. Such changes in the laboratory program could contribute importantly to making the two upper years of the St. John's program more stimulating and profitable than at present. However, the Instruction Committee and the Faculty must still address themselves to other areas of the Program as well. The content and order of the mathematics tutorial must be revised so that it will mesh more helpfully with the work in physics in the senior year. A decision must be reached as to whether to substitute two years of French or German for one year of each language at the junior and senior level. The reading knowledge examinations in foreign languages leave much to be desired and require attention. Finally, the Dean states that a way must be found to introduce more independent work in the junior and senior years without sacrificing the essential unity and community of the St. John's program. Reed College Visit Closely related to the ongoing consideration of curricular matters was the visit already referred to of seven members of the St. John's Faculty to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in late March. Financed by a grant from the Hazen Foundation, the visit was planned to make possible a discussion of common problems in the fields of administration, curriculum, and student life. The St. John's tutors visited classes, laboratories and a symposium. They sat in on a regular faculty meeting, a meeting of the Student Educational Policy Committee and a meeting of the Community Council. All of these occasions and many informal meetings with Reed faculty members and students provided ample opportunity for the exchange of ideas. • 5 • �After a week of such activity there were four seminar sessions involving faculty members of the two institutions. The Reed curriculum was presented and discussed. This involved specific debate on the place in the college curriculum of the humanities on the one hand and mathematics and science on the other. St. John's tutors questioned their Reed colleagues on the latter's apparent commitment to student research or work in depth. There was also a useful exchange of experiences on the problems of stimulating intellectual activity on the campus and of reducing attrition in the student body. A return visit by Reed faculty members to St. John's College is projected for March of 1961. Meanwhile, St. John's tutors have been challenged to re-think various aspects of the College's program in a useful and constructive way. The Library Members of the Library Committee have devoted considerable time over the past year to planning for a new library building. An initial conversation was held wth Dr. Keyes Metcalf, former librarian of Harvard University, who has consented to serve as a consultant to the College on the project. At the present time there is general agreement on the following four points : ( 1) provision for a well-chosen collection of approximately 100,000 volumes, (2) ample study carrells, (3) efficient arrangement of facilities to permit supervision by one attendant, and (4) adequate work room space for the staff. The entire problem of a new library must be considered carefully by the Faculty and the Board in determining the construction needs and priorities of the College for the longterm future. I am happy to report that the Library has received the set of 167 volumes in the Library of Congress catalogue of printed cards. These are the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Clifford, of Pasadena, California. Supplementary volumes published since 1948 have been presented to the College by the Library of the United States Naval Academy. At the same time an order has been placed for the photolith reprint of the British Museum Catalogue, to be received over the next four years. These two comprehensive bibliographic guides are indispensable tools for a small library which must limit the size of its collection to usable proportions. Circulation of books to students increased by about onesixth over the preceding year. Use of the Library by members of the Annapolis community doubled during the same period. A real effort was made by the Library to build up certain sections of the collection, particularly in the fields of astrono• 6 • �my, history and politics, Greek language texts, German literature and Far Eastern literature. At the same time the class copy collection was thoroughly overhauled so that there will be sufficient copies for loan to a larger student enrollment. New class copies were purchased from the Ellen C. Murphy Memorial Library Fund, the gift of her son, William F . Murphy, of New Milford, Connecticut. The M cKeldin Planetarium Throughout the year a program has been conducted by Donald Rogers of the Faculty to present demonstrations of the planetarium to school groups, and to other visitors to the campus. All members of the freshman class likewise witnessed presentations in connection with their study of Ptolemy in the freshman mathematics tutorial. Throughout the year a total of 62 demonstrations were made to over 1300 individuals. It is apparent from the letters and comments received that these showings have been of considerable educational value and that they have created a great deal of good will for the College _ _ / in the community. In May a dinner was held in the College Dining Hall for faculty members and invited guests at which the planetarium was formally dedicated. There were brief addresses by J. Millard Tawes, Governor of Maryland, by Victor Frenkil, of Baltimore Contractors, Inc., who gave the funds to complete the planetarium, and by former Governor Theodore R. McKeldin in whose honor the building was named. The Infirmary A new plan was followed during the past year whereby students requiring medical attention were referred by Mrs. Louise E. Young, R.N., the College Nurse, to the offices of the College Physicians instead of having the physicians conduct regular office hours on the campus. This meant that only 195 of 773 dispensary visits required further diagnosis and treatment by the physicians. These figures do not include some 300 other calls upon the College Nurse for such attention as deep-heat therapy, inoculations, immunizations and consultations on personal problems. There were only 35 infirmary admissions and 6 hospital admissions. For the first time the College also retained the services of a psychiatrist, Dr. Wilfried Freinek, of Annapolis, Maryland, who interviewed and advised some 16 students between September and June. Admissions The national increase in the college-age population and the greater acceptability by the public at large of the St. John's • 7 • �program have contributed to a far larger volume of inquiries and applications for admission to the College. This has placed a great burden of work upon James Tolbert, the Director of Admissions. He has again brought to this task careful judgment and infectious enthusiasm with the result that the entering class of 1964 should number approximately 120 carefully selected students, 67 of them men and 53 of them women. This class was developed from over 1400 inquiries. In each case the prospective student received a personal letter from the Admissions Office together with a catalogue and other literature about the College. All inquirers east of the Mississippi River were invited to visit the College for a period of one or two days. A total of 138 visitors accepted this invitation and it is interesting to note that 94 of them or over two-thirds applied for admission. Further to stimulate the flow of applications from good students, the College again relied upon school visits by the Director of Admissions and upon showings of the film, "The St. John's Story." Mr. Tolbert spent three weeks visiting secondary schools on the West Coast at Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and La Jolla, and in Texas at Austin and Houston. More such visits should be undertaken and it is clear that the services of an Assistant to the Director of Admissions could be utilized in the years ahead. The film was shown in nearly 200 secondary schools. It continues to arouse favorable comment but should be replaced with a new vehicle. The College has commissioned Roger Tilton of the Class of 1945 to write a new script, and an application has been submitted to one of the foundations for sufficient funds to produce a new film. It is interesting to compare the statistics on applications for admission, on acceptances and on actual enrollment over the past five years. Applications Applications for Admissions Approved Class Class Class Class Class of of of of of 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 129 166 188 198 249 125 146 161 164 180 Actual Enrollment 94 107 104 115 120 Only in the last two years have all applicants been required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board. The median scores for the entering class this fall are 621 on the verbal test and 560 on the mathematics test as compared with the median scores of 612 and 550 for the Class of 1963 a year ago. The College has made formal appli• 8 • �cation for institutional membership in the College Entrance Examination Board and expects to receive favorable action at the next annual membership meeting in October. Maryland State Scholarships St. John's College was listed as first choice by 53 Maryland students taking the State Senatorial Scholarship examination in February, nearly three times as many as in 1959. Fifty-five others indicated that St. John's was their second choice. Thirty-one in the first category and 17 in the second category made acceptable scores on the examination and were sent catalogues and application blanks together with an invitation to apply for admission. The results are as follows compared with those of preceding years. 1958 1959 1960 Applied Accepted Rejected Withd.rew 16 13 27 14 2 9 4 5 3 19 3 7 In general, the quality of the Maryland students receiving Senatorial and Tuition Scholarships at the College has shown a marked improvement over the past several years. Alumni It is a matter of deepest regret that I must record in this report the death of two of the College's most devoted alumni. Dr. Amos F. Hutchins died on November 11, 1959, after a lingering illness. He had graduated from St. John's College in 1906 and from the Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1908. Dr. Hutchins had a long and distinguished career as a surgeon in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County. He served for many years upon this Board as member, as secretary, as vice chairman and as chairman. John Harrison suffered a heart attack and died on the way to his office on May 23, 1960. He was a graduate of St. John's College in the Class of 1907. Subsequently he established a successful insurance brokerage business in New York City. He too was for many years a member of this Board and always took an active interest in affairs at the College. Both of these men had been honored by receiving the Alumni Award of Merit of the St. John's College Alumni Association. In the elections held last fall the Alumni of the College chose John S. Hodges of the Class of 1936, of Baltimore, Maryland, as President of their Association for the current year and R. Penfield Brown of the Class of 1922, of New York City, • 9 • �and Dr. J. Ogle Warfield of the Class of 1919, of Washington, D. C., as members of the Board of Visitors and Governors for three-year terms expiring in 1962. On Homecoming Day the Alumni A ward of Merit was presented to William Childs Purnell of the Class of 1923, of Baltimore, Maryland. Again the Association presented the College with a generous check for $1,000 toward the Third Century Fund. Administration There were relatively few changes in administrative personnel during the year. Mrs. Jane Tucker joined the staff on July 1st to work in the Development Office and in the Alumni Office. These files have now been reorganized and are ready for the future. It became apparent during the year that the College should devote more energies to its alumni than Miss Miriam Strange could spare from her duties as Registrar. The decision was therefore reached to relieve her of these onerous duties and to appoint as Alumni Secretary of the College James A. Baldwin, of the Class of 1958, who took up his respo~sibilities at the start of the new fiscal year. Mrs. Peter Lauck, secretary to the Dean, left the College in September to assume new family obligations. Her position was filled by Mrs. Virginia Cade whose position in the Assistant Dean's Office was taken by Miss Patricia Schwallenberg. In the area of buildings and grounds, Marion Catterton took over general supervisory responsibilities. He performed his duties conscientiously. However, it seems clear that the magnitude of the task of overseeing the physical facilities of the . College requires a business manager who could coordinate work distribution, centralize purchasing, and plan immediate and long-term maintenance. This would, I believe, produce greater efficiency and more effective use of available manpower. The College was fortunate in acquiring the services of Clifford Taber, an engineer who had previously worked for an oil company. Mr. Taber brought order to the heating plant and steam to the buildings. Physical Plant This was the first complete year of occupancy of the Francis Scott Key Memorial Auditorium, Mellon Hall and the newlyrenovated Humphreys Hall. The Key Memorial appears to have become a landmark in the Annapolis community within this short period of time, as the College has made these facilities available to local and state groups at a very modest rental. The people of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County seem to have responded with a new measure of affection for St. • 10 • �I, John's and what it is trying to do for the larger Annapolis community. Over the summer months the entire interior of McDowell Hall has been redecorated. Mrs. Helen Wohl, of the Brice House, has given freely of her time in advising on colors and in overseeing the actual painting. The ground floor of the building is being completely renovated to provide for an enlarged coffee shop. The facilities formerly occupied by the Book Store are being incorporated into the coffee shop area. The senior common room for faculty use will be moved from its old location to the room previously occupied by the Book Store office. Toward this reconstruction project the Slater System of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has made a generous gift of counter and other food preparation equipment for the coffee shop. Much progress was made in landscaping and improving the physical appearance of the campus. Mrs. Ford K. Brown, Mrs. Elizabeth Myers Mitchell, and Mrs. St. Clair Wright, all of Annapolis, constituted an able advisory committee on the planting of trees and shrubs around the Francis Scott Key Memorial and Mellon Hall. Grading and seeding was begun on the land recently acquired from the State of Maryland in the western corner of the campus. The fence along King George Street was largely renewed and painted. The boxwood bushes were removed from the front walk leading to McDowell Hall and replanted around the McDowell Hall porch and at the entrance to the Charles Carroll Barrister House. A wider permanent brick walk is being laid from College A venue to the McDowell Hall steps and will afford a much more pleasing approach to the campus. If funds can be found, it would seem wise to replace the bedraggled hedge surrounding the front campus with an attractive low brick wall which would not deny a view of the campus green to passing visitors. Finances The College auditors, Wheat and Mullen, reported that the College had no outstanding encumbrances against plant property as of July 15, 1960, for the first time in many years. This resulted from paying off the remaining mortgage certificates. The auditor also reported income of $23,297 as over against expenditures of $914,331 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1960. The small surplus of $8,965 is a paper surplus only as cash funds in the amount of $13,713 were used for equipment and campus improvements and were thus capitalized. It becomes almost a necessity for an institution like St. John's College to operate with a surplus of at least $25,000 • 11 • �- 11 annually as far as current expenditures are concerned if its favorable cash position is to be maintained. For the coming year the annual budget will exceed $1,000,000 for the first time in the history of the College. The principal item of expenditures is, of course, faculty salaries which will average $265,000 for all those teaching on a full schedule. The following table will be of interest as showing the increase in faculty salaries over a twelve-year period. Low Median High 1949-50 $5,000 $3,000 $4,050 1950-51 5,500 3,750 4,137 1951-52 3,750 5,500 4,825 1952-53 3,750 4,950 6,000 1953-54 3,750 6,000 4,950 1954-55 4,200 5,000 6,000 1955-56 4,500 5,250 6,500 1956-57 4,000 5,900 7,500 1957-58 4,000 6,000 7,700 1958-59 4,800 6,875 8,700 1959-60 4,950 8,275 10,850 1960-61 7,820 11,050 5,000 The Board appears to have been wise in its decision to increase fees from $2,100 to $2,300 in September of 1961. The danger arising out of any increase in fees is the possible denial of a St. John's education to able but impecunious students. There is also the danger of over-optimism on an entering student's part as to his ability to finance subsequent years of his education. The Vice President and Treasurer of the College has urged that incoming students assess their resources for the full four-year period and not become a heavy charge upon the College's limited financial aid fund in their upperclass years. It is the President's recommendation that ways and means be found to establish a considerable student loan fund whereby a maximum of up to $5,000 could be borrowed in successively larger installments throughout a student's course. These loans, properly secured by a parental co-signer, would bear interest at the rate of 1 % until a student's education had been completed and thereafter would carry a rate of 3 %. This would be comparable to the Federal Student Loan Program participation in which St. John's College has denied itself because of the disclaimer affidavit provision. A hopeful step in the direction of a more adequate loan program was the adoption by the College of the Girard Trust Company loan plan whereby parents may spread the cost of a four-year education over a sevenyear period. There still seems to be a need, however, for long• 12 • �term loans which would be repaid by the student himself over a fifteen-year period. The Book Store The Book Store completed its first year in its comfortable and attractive new quarters on the ground floor of Humphreys Hall. Its volume of business continued to grow, gross sales exceeding $25,000 for the year, a gain of more than $4,000. Inventory increased because certain items were reprinted to supply tutorials in future years. Nevertheless there was a modest profit of approximately $1,000 in operations. The Third Century Fund The Third Century Fund campaign ended on June 30th. The endowment goal of $4,000,000 was over-subscribed by a substantial sum, thanks largely to the Mullikin bequest and the magnificent support of Old Dominion Foundation. The building phase of the drive yielded only sufficient funds to complete the renovation of Humphreys Hall at a cost of approximately a quarter of a million dollars and to do necessary landscaping on the campus. In all, 586 gifts, grants, and pledges totaled $4,698,000 in the campaign. Again I should like to express the immense gratitude of all members of the College community to each of the donors, not only for the gift itself but also for the confidence in St. John's College which the gift implies. The following gifts and grants were received during the year under review : Foundations and Corporations The sum of $13,805.72 representing the share of St. John's College in corporate gifts received from business and industry by the Association of Independent Colleges in Maryland.

In the latter case I addressed a regular college convocation on the Vincent J. Flynn Chair of Literature using as my theme "The College Library: Museum or Market Place." Other speaking engagements included the United Fund of Talbot County, the Child Study Association of Baltimore, the • 16 • �General Educational Development of Military Personnel Conference at Fort Meade, Maryland, and the 12th annual Conference of State Chief Justices at Baltimore. In May I was re-elected for another term as President of the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County. I am also currently serving as Treasurer of the Maryland Association of Boards of Education and will become First Vice President this fall. This has entailed attendance at various conventions during the year: the Association of American Colleges in Boston in January, the Association of American School Administrators in Atlantic City in February, and the National School Board Association in Chicago in May. For the most part these meetings provided useful contacts with other individuals in the field of education at the secondary school and college levels. In conclusion, I want to thank the Board for granting me leave for a European trip this summer. The four members of the Weigle family enjoyed to the full the six weeks spent in motoring over the Continent and in visiting many points of interest. We return relaxed and refreshed and look forward with enthusiasm to the year ahead. RICHARD Annapolis, Maryland September 1, 1960 • 17 • D. WEIGLE President �ST.

The College's permanent endowment now exceeds $6,000,000, but increasing educational costs will require future additions to these funds. The College invites gifts and bequests to its current budget, to its building program, and to its permanent endowment funds. Inquiries may be addressed to the President or the Treasurer. Bequests may be made in a form similar to the following: "I hereby give and bequeath to St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland, the sum of ... . .. .... .... . . . dollars." The College would prefer gifts and bequests to be applied in the discretion of the College, but gifts and bequests may be made for specially stated purposes. • 23 • �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JOHN'S COLLEGE PREAMBLE Education is the leading out of men from their natural state into the. world of inherited customs, intellectual traditions, and spiritual ties. Institutions of learning are set up for this purpose. Beyond this they should also seek to develop the moral and intellectual powers of men to enable them to fulfill best their freely chosen tasks and thus to take their own responsible part in shaping the future. St. John's College is a community of learning committed to hold constantly in sight this universal end and the means conducive to it. St. John's College strives to illuminate the common heritage of mankind in a persisting study of the great documents in which that heritage can be found. It seeks the unity of knowledge, an understanding of the great issues faced by men, and the moral foundations on which the conduct of men's lives can be based. To provide proper conditions for the pursuit of these ends, we, the Board of Visitors and Governors, after consultation with the Faculty, do ordain and establish this polity for St. John's College.

ARTICLE X AMENDMENT AND REVIEW ( 1) This Polity may be amended by the Board at any regular meeting or special meeting, provided written notice of the proposed amendment shall have been given to members of the Board and to the Faculty not less than 15 days prior to such meeting. (2) Amendments may be proposed at any regular meeting of the Faculty, upon petition of ten per cent of the members of the Faculty, provided that this be not less than three. No such proposal shall be acted upon earlier than the next regular meeting of the Faculty. Twothirds vote shall be required for approval by the Faculty, and the amendment shall not become effective unless approved by the Visitors and Governors in the manner set forth in Section 1 above. ( 3) Five years after this Polity shall have become effective it shall be reviewed by a committee of the Faculty elected by a majority vote of the Faculty; and whatever action is recommended by the Faculty pursuant to such review shall be submitted to the Visitors and Governors for final decision. ARTICLE XI ENABLING PROVISIONS ( 1) In order to accomplish the transition from the composition of the Board at the time of the adoption of the Polity to the result contemplated by Article II, the Board adopts the procedure hereinafter set forth. These provisions shall not be a part of the permanent Polity, but shall be preserved separately as evidence of the method of making the transition. (2) As of the time just prior to adoption of the Polity, there are twenty-three members of the Board, but the term of the President of the Alumni Association as a Board member will expire in October, 1950, at there will be left twenty-two members, of whom nine are Alumni. of the nine Alumni members shall be chosen by lot; the first two these four shall be deemed to be members of the class elected by the · whose terms will expire in 1951, and the other two members be deemed to be members of the class elected by the Alumni whose will expire in 1952. Accordingly, the remaining two of the six i members provided for by Article II will be elected by the ', presumably prior to October, 1950, pursuant to Section 4 of e II. ) The remaining eighteen present members of the Board, shall be by lot into three classes of six each. The term of the first class shall expire at the conclusion of the annual meeting in 1951, and en; except that the one member elected in 1950 shall be placed in tPifd class, whose term expires in 1953. :!) Regardless of length of service, all twenty-three members in just prior to the adoption of the Polity shall be deemed to be their first term for the purpose of determining eligibility for reunder Section 5 of Article II. ) The only effect of making the arbitrary distinction between the Alumni selected by lot and the other eighteen members of the g. Board is that the four Alumni so selected by lot will be subject teelection at the appropriate time by the Alumni, whereas the reg eighteen (whether Alumni or not) will be subject to reelection 'ifiC whole Board. The length of terms will not differ as between four Alumni and the other eighteen present members. 6~ With respect to Article VI, all appointments of present members Faculty for the academic year 1951-52 shall be made in accordwith the provisions of Sections ( 4) and ( 5) . In determining ility for tenure, the total years of service of each Faculty member be translated into the equivalent number of one-year and three-year eiptments within the meaning of these sections. aoa Adopted by the Board of Visitors and Governors its regular meeting July 8, 1950 in Annapolis, Maryland. at �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JOHN'S COLLEGE IN ANNAPOLIS REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND SEPTEMBER, 1951 Founded as King William's School, 1696. Chartered as St.John's College, 1785 �Volume III SEPTEMBER, 1951 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. �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS AND GOVERNORS: The warfare which broke out in Korea in late June 1950 has had · vitable repercussions upon the colleges and universities of the nation. ~;r most institutions unce:tainty. has been tl~e char~cteris~ic of the academic year just en de?. T~1s f eel:ng has man1fested 1tsel~ ii: the areas of administrative plannmg, 10struct10n, student morale, bu1ldmg programs and college finances. Most institutions recalled the lean days of W odd War II and prepared to weather the new storm by seeking ROTC units, by pruning faculty ranks, by slashing budgets and by competing vigorously for the limited supply of draft-free freshmen. One of the worst features of the year was the uncertainty as to congressional action in the matter of Selective Service and Universal Military Training. The protracted committee hearings and debates in the Congress depressed student morale and produced more than one flurry of enlistment as students felt themselves about to be tapped by their local draft boards. Naturally . t~~s uncer~ainty was translated into the classroom and other campus act1v1t1es and m no way fostered the learning process. The tremendous stimulus to inflation which the war in Korea produced likewise had its effect upon institutions of higher learning. College business managers sought vainly to avoid mounting deficits in the face of rising costs and falling enrollments. Supplies and equipment costs exceeded budget figures. Soaring food prices forced increases in dining hall fees. Funds already in hand for new construction proved inadequate. The high cost of living multiplied the problems of the already underpaid faculty member. Meanwhile friends and alumni found themselves hard pressed by their own household budgets and by mounting taxes. This naturally had an adverse effect on the success of financial campaigns to relieve the plight of the colleges. St. John's College was no exception to the rule and, like most colleges and universities, felt the impact of war throughout the academic year. Student enrollment decreased moderately and the College found itself operating with a slight deficit. In the face of the general hysteria which characterized some college campuses, it should be said to the credit of the St. John's student body that only one student left college prematurely to enlist and avoid the draft. The esprit de corps of the student body remained remarkably high, although the general unsettlement of the �country manifested itself in other ways. Another evidence of the uncertainty of the times was the preoccupation of the nation with anti-subversive legislation and with hearings on the loyalty of individual citizens. The most noteworthy example of an institution affected by this type of legislation was the University of California, where a considerable number of faculty members were summarily dismissed for their refusal to comply with the dictum of the regent~ . Many educators have stood out against this trend in the United States and have feared a dangerous blow to academic freedom by the heavy hand of political control. Some members of the St. John's faculty felt it their duty to bring this position to the attention of the people of Maryland at the time of the referendum on the Subversive Activities Act of 1949, in November of this past year. While cognizant of the latent dangers in the current situation, the group feared that the ultimate issue of such legislation might be to jeopardize freedom of inquiry. Moreover, history suggests that oaths are often forerunners of other tests of loyalty not immediately contemplated. Admission of Women Probably the most far-reaching action taken by the College during the year and one which was certainly prompted by the war situation was the decision of the Hoard to open St. John's College to women students in the fall of 19 51. This step represented a distinct departure with 2 5 5 years of tradition, but it was almost uniformly applauded by alumni and friends of the College. I believe that the decision was a wise one and that the instruction and the general life of the College will be benefited. Such a decision could not have been taken had not a majority of both Faculty and Board members considered co-education good in principle for St. John's College. The fact that the step was taken in December of 1950, rather than two or three years hence, is definitely attributable to the war in Korea and the anticipated drop in male enrollments. I consider the College most fortunate to have obtained the services of Barbara H. Leonard of Oberlin, Ohio, to be tutor and Assistant Dean for women. Miss Leonard is herself a graduate of Oberlin College, the first co-educational college in this country. She is a scientist, holding her doctor's degree in zoology from the University of Rochester. For the past six years she has taught at Smith College. I believe that she combines in an unusual way the teaching, administrative and counseling skills necessary to this position. �It appears that t~ere will be approximately 2 5 women in the er:tering class this fall, .commg from as far a.field as Mas~achusetts, Geo~g~a and California. It is true that the announcement relative to the admission of women was made somewhat late in the year and that it was perhaps not publicized as widely as it might have been. I suspect, however, that the rigors of th.e St. Jo~n' s curriculum~ particularly the mathematics ~nd laboratory soences, will prove somethmg of a deterrent to women seekmg a liberal arts education at St. John's. On the other hand, I am equally confident that within the space of two or three years the College will be faced with the problem of selecting from a long waiting list the best fifty or sixty woman candidates for each entering class. Renovations are proceeding this summer on Randall Hall to convert it to the use of women for the coming academic year. This includes complete redecoration of student rooms, installation of a suite for the Assistant Dean, and the creation of reception rooms. It is evident that the present dormitories will be adequate for the housing of men and women for at least two years, after which it will be necessary to erect a women's dormitory, probably on the site of the old heating plant. Faculty This is the first year during which the College has operated under the Polity, which was adopted by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its regular meeting July 8, 1950. All faculty appointments for the coming academic year were made within its terms. This meant that four members . of the faculty who could not be recommended for tenure appointments, had to relinquish their positions. Three other faculty members were not reappointed in view of the expected shrinkage in enrollment, and two tutors accepted positions elsewhere. Appointments to the faculty, in addition to Miss Leonard, include Curtis A. Wilson in the field of Science and a physicist to be announced. Mr. Wilson has been on leave of absence, studying in Italy on a Fulbright Fellowship. These new appointments will compensate in part for the reduction in the size of the faculty, so that the full time teaching staff of the College will number 17 for the coming academic year, as against 23 in the year 1950-51. The student-faculty ratio remains high-approximately seven to one. It is true that the operation of the Polity, an instrument designed to produce greater administrative stability in the College, in this case produced some dissension within faculty ranks because of the decisions reached on reappointments. It should be said, however, that this impact on faculty morale did not cause the teaching in the College to suffer �appreciably. I am also glad to report that those faculty members leaving St. John's have been almost uniformly successful in obtaining new positions elsewhere. I do believe that the personnel changes have not adversely affected the quality of the St. John's faculty. The Curriculum No major changes in curriculum were decided upon by the Instruction Committee, although there were the usual additions, deletions, and rearrangements of the reading list. The Dean reports that seminars and tutorials functioned well, with certain exceptions, but that the laboratory still suffers from technical shortcomings and supervisory deficiencies. Genuine progress has been made in relieving the pressure upon students arising out of the working load, except perhaps in the junior year. On the other hand, excessive absences from academic exercises have become a real problem. The required music tutorial in the freshman year proved successful and will be continued. Participation in the weekly meeting 6f the chorus will be made obligatory for both freshmen and sophomores, and in subsequent years for juniors as well. This will afford some practical application of the principles developed in the tutorials. The four Friday evening concerts by visiting artists were all well received and will be continued. The Instruction Committee decided, however, to drop the evening music lectures in favor of three sophomore music seminars, one each term. Another concern of the Instruction . Committee was to devise ways to improve the writing skill of the student. Instead of requiring term essays the tutors in the language tutorials will now have students write essays in class every third week on subjects announced in advance. Topics may be those arising out of tutorial or seminar discussions, commentaries on texts, polished versions of translations, or matters derived from the Friday night lectures. It is hoped that the writing of at least three essays each term will contribute to the development of writing skills commensurate with those in the field of dialectic. The instruction at St. John's College is constantly facing the problem of correlating adequately the quality of learning with the quantity of material that has to be "learned." Without acquainting the student with certain concrete material, the exploration of which gives rise to a problem and to its formulation, the tutor can hardly expect the student to grasp the universality of the problem and the validity of its formulation. But by the same token, the very exploration of that material tends to absorb �the attention of the student, tends to make him forget the very purpose for the sake of which the exploration is being undertaken. The danger ·s that the student might learn about many things but not understand them ~ell. Or, conversely, he might grasp the nature of the problem in general but not appreciate its real significance and applicability if he cannot build on a concrete basis. Two factors have a bearing on the solution of this problem: ( 1) the teaching ability of the faculty, and ( 2) the teaching tools-the texts, equipment, exercises, and subject matter. The quality of the faculty, of course, always remains a primary concern at St. John's. With respect to teaching tools, the Dean reports that the necessity exists to condense the texts of Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. Some progress in solving the basic problem was made during the year, for the teaching in the mathematics tutorial was actually done on the basis of reduced assignments. Some efforts have been made to write our own texts in algebra and analy~ical geometry, but the basic editing job on the fundamental texts remams. Closely related to the above considerations is the problem of the laboratory. The set-up of the laboratory now seems reasonably adequate. The failures in the laboratory during the past year were attributable primarily to shortcomings in individuals. These will be overcome. The more general grave and fundamental problem continues, however, of how to coordinate the laboratory instruction with the practice of the liberal arts. Weekly meetings of all laboratory tutors with the Dean will help to clarify the issues. Again, the main difficulty is the selection of such exercises in physics, chemistry, and biology as to give the student enough material support to understand the relations between observable fact, hypothesis, theory, and mathematical symbolism, and, beyond that, to understand the assumptions and principles involved in any scientific investigation. The danger lies in too great a concern with material and facts. Student Enrollnzent Student enrollment reacted to the war situation and declined slightly from the preceding year. Total enrollment in September was 168, subsequently increased to 173 by the readmission of four former students and by the enrollment of a Chinese refugee. Two of the readmitted students and the Chinese refugee withdrew and twenty-one other students dropped out during the course of the year. Twelve of these were freshmen; five, sophomores; and four, juniors. Personal or financial �reasons prompted the withdrawal of fourteen of this group, two joined the armed forces and five were dropped by the College. This represents a rate of attrition for the year of 14 per cent, an appreciable improvement over the record of the preceding year. As in other years, there was a wide geographic distribution of students. Twenty-eight states, the District of Columbia, and three foreign countries were represented. Sixty-five students were veterans studying under the G.I. bill, and twenty-three students were married. Thirty-one seniors were graduated in June as compared with twentyeight in 1950. Four others have certain requirements to meet and should be awarded their degrees during the coming year. As in other years, approximately half of the graduates plan further study in graduate or professional schools. This group will undertake work in law, medicine, education, political' science, philosophy, linguistics, international relations, zoology, mathematics and the theatre. A majority of this graduating class are veterans, but at least three are committed to immediate tours with the armed forces. For the second year in succession, one of the graduates goes directly to the public school system of Anne Arundel County, a trend which I hope can be encouraged. Other members of the class are going into business, research and farming. The Students As already mentioned, the general unsettlement of the times was apparent in the student body. Throughout the year there was evidence of continuing dissatisfaction with the operation of the dining hall. The Administration tried to alleviate these conditions but the basic problem remained. A mjnor crisis developed in December at the time of the announcement that women would be admitted to the College. Meetings of the student body expressed dissent, not so much from the principle of co-education at St. John's as from the way in which the decision was reached. The Student Polity did not claim the right to have a voice in the decision but believed that it should have been consulted on a matter of such great interest to the general College community. The Administration, on the other hand, believed that the controversy which would have been provoked by student and other discussion of this matter would have prevented the Board from determining policy in the absence of prejudices and pressures. The ultimate result of this situation was to infuse new life into the Student Polity and its executive committee and to �institute monthly meetings of the Co11ege community at which matters of general interest were discussed. Disciplinary problems became rather acute during the year. On the one hand, there were excessive absences from classroom exercises and from the Friday night lectures. Steps are being taken to correct this situation during the coming year. On the other hand, certain students seemed to exhibit a progressive lack of understanding of the elementary rules that should tacitly or explicitly govern campus life. Certain irregularities led to a series of College meetings and forums in which the students finally voted to surrender their prerogative of self-government with respect to rules of residence. The students made it apparent that they the~selves did n_ot see th~ necessity for a chan~e,_ but. that they were willmg to submit to the Judgment of the Admm1strat10n. New conditions of residence have therefore been promulgated, to become effective with the opening of College in the fall. These rules will still be subject to change in consultation with the Student Polity. I believe that the disciplinary problems at St. John's are no greater than at other colleges . . They can be viewed here, however, only from our general educational perspective. The student is encouraged to question many things which he has previously accepted blindly. On the other hand, the College has to acknowledge the wisdom embodied in written and unwritten laws of social conduct or, if this wisdom is not immediately apparent, to suspend judgment and not try to reform society. To jeopardize the existence of the College for the sake of such an ultimate and uncertain goal would amount to a betrayal of the College's primary educational aims. I am happy to report that the Student Polity voted to establish the position of Polity Treasurer and that the functions of budget making and disbursement of funds for all student activities are now vested in this office. The operation of this plan during the past year has been exceedingly smooth and augurs well for the future. As in preceding years, the Film Club functioned successfully. The King William Players showed a remarkable resurgence of activity and staged a brilliant production of Charles Williams' Tho mas Cranmer of Canterbury, which was widely acclaimed by friends and critics. Reformation also characterized the activities of the Cotillion Board which stimulated greater interest among the student body than in the past. The Boat Club was not as active as in other years but has embarked upon a plan to change the rigging on the fleet of College dinghies with a view to greater safety. �Selective Service The new regulations of the Selective Service System have imposed a heavy burden upon the Dean's office. St. John's was designated as one of the twelve hundred colleges at which the aptitude of students from all over the country was tested in May and June. A large number of outside students took these tests along with our own students. In actual practice, local boards seem to consider both test scores and the academic standing of students in determining deferments. This is not in accordance with the various pronouncements of the Selective Service, which indicated that def erability would be determined upon the basis either of certified academic standing or of test scores. The result is that it is actually the colleges which, in certifying the academic rank of students, are providing local draft boards with decisive data for the deferment or non-deferment of students. In the case of St. John's, this poses a real problem, for the mechanical computing of grades and arranging of students in some kind of order of achievement is contrary to our ways and places the College in a difficult position. The Library During the year the Library has operated successfully with extra student assistants instead of a replacement for Mrs. Simon P. Fullinwider, Jr., whose resignation was accepted with regret in August to permit her to accept a position in the Library of the United States Naval Academy. Per capita circulation of books continued high-twenty-seven as compared to thirty-one in 1949-50, twenty-eight in 1948-49 and twenty-four in 1947-48. The Librarian reports that an examination of the Library for obsolete and unnecessary books was completed, and that lamination of some of the older library archives was begun in cooperation with the Maryland Hall of Records. Forty books of the Thomas Bray collection were also catalogued during the year. Considerable interest was developed in cooperation with the student shops in the field of bookbinding. The College this year bound all of its own magazines for the first time. The Infirmary The plan to integrate the College Physician into the faculty worked well. Dr. Frank Shipley discharged his medical duties in good fashion and also participated in one of the freshman seminars. Miss Elizabeth S. Hopkins, RN, maintained the infirmary at its usual operating efficiency. �There were 53 students admitted as bed patients during the year, while students, faculty members, staff and employees received a total of 181 , 217 treatments in the dispensary. 1 Administration In addition to personnel changes mentioned elsewhere in this report, it should be noted that Mr. Archibald B. McCourt was reappointed Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds following the resignation of Mr. Charles F. Horton in October. George Van Sant, of the Class of 1947, who h~d effectively managed th~ combined_ operations of the Book Store and Pnnt Shop, was called up 111 the Manne Reserves in October and was replaced by Clarence J. Kramer, of the Class of 1948. Mrs. Marie Johnson replaced Mrs. Faye Bartell as Housekeeper, and Mrs. Aleitha Janos was employed as a varitype operator. Miss Hallie Rich served temporarily as secretary to the Assistant to the President and was succeeded in November by Miss Ann D. Hill. Mr. Joseph Smith, Machinist, took over the supervision of the student shops in addition to his other duties. · Staff regulations supplementing those originally instituted for administrative and office assistants were drawn up for buildings and grounds personnel, kitchen staff, maids and others not previously covered. The College came under the provisions of the Social Security Act January 1, 1951, for all persons on its faculty and staff. An annuity plan with the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, and a collective decreasing group life insurance plan were also put into operation for faculty members. New equipment installed during the year included a deep freeze room in the kitchen, the door for which was generously given by J. Vincent Jamison, Jr., of the Class of 1905, and an offset press, a varityper and a folding machine, all of which were purchased from a fund established by an anonymous donor. A new fire alarm system was installed on the campus and certain fire hazards corrected during the year. The College insurance was completely readjusted to current requirements through the active cooperation of William S. Morsell, Jr., of the Class of 1922 and William B. Athey, of the Class of 1932. Some savings were made on the budget during the past year. For example, the College switchboard was eliminated and direct outside lines installed with considerable saving to the College. Such savings, however, were not sufficient to offset the decrease in enrollment. The College therefore ended the fiscal year with ~ deficit of approximately $300. �Its cash position was poor because 0£ the continuing obligation to retire $15,000 worth of outstanding Mortgage Certificates annually. The Finance Committee of the Board in cooperation with the Treasurer of the College have done much to strengthen the financial position of the College. Investment income has been increased appreciably by the purchase of corporate bonds and preferred and common stocks in lieu of retaining all of the College's holdings in United States Savings Bonds. A planned program for further investment will produce a progressively larger income from this source. Admissions Louis Graff resigned at the end of the College year to study law, after having served capably as Director of Admissions at St. John's College for two and one-half years. During this period he visited over two hundred preparatory and high schools and collected names of approximately two thousand prospective students. He also established contact with certain professional school agencies and sought to promote the cooperation of alumni in the matter of procurement. In his final report, Mr. Graff concludes that the general public, while expressing a keen interest in the St. John's Program, cannot be expected to lend full support to the College. The very unorthodoxy of the curriculum makes headmasters and high school principals loath to recommend St. John's to their students, even though they themselves may express great enthusiasm and vicarious interest in the Program. Among the definite objections which students and teachers alike have expressed to Mr. Graff are the following: ( 1) Lack of accreditation-In general it is not sufficient to tell prospects that the College has successfully placed its students in graduate schools. The fact that the Middle States Association has not seen fit to put its stamp of approval upon St. John's somehow magnifies the doubts raised by the unconventionality of the Program. (In this connection, I should like to point out that the College has already applied for accreditation and that a survey committee from the Middle States Association for Colleges and Secondary Schools will visit the campus early in 1952.) ( 2) The exclusive athletic pro gram-Mr. Graff feels that some students may be discouraged from applying for admission because of the absence of competitive intercollegiate athletics at St. John's College. He points to the strong sentiment and color which the American · playing �t Id holds for the average boy. On the other hand, he suggests that 6 e is little likelihood that students would come to the College for ~~~r sake of athletics. The answer to this may be a more rigorous intraral program than the College now has and perhaps, eventually, ~;ited informal athletic meetings with nearby colleges in certain minor sports congenial to the Program. ( 3 ) The P'Yo g~am-Four ~ears of required .mathema~ics. and laboratory science constitute a considerable obstacle m the thmkmg of many condary school graduates. Moreover, the urge of the elective system ~: strong, for the whole climate of opinion in this country stresses the ~raining of speci~lists and .technicians for particular jobs. St. Joh.n's College, in effect, is thus tellmg people what is good for them and askmg them to trust the College for four years that they may emerge as truly educated men. Perhaps the best answer to this criticism will be the accumulating mass of evidence as to the success of the younger St. John's alumni. There is also perceptible in the fields of graduate study, business and government a movement to favor the more broadly educated indi~idual whose general intellectual skills surpass those of the technician and specialist and who is thus in a position to grasp the fundamentals and to understand all facets of a problem. During the spring I had occasion to visit forty-five high schools and private secondary schools in Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, California, Utah, and Colorado. In a number of instances I addressed student assemblies; in other cases I talked with headmasters, principals, guidance counsellors, or individual students. Widespread latent interest was apparent, and yet it was evident that it would take more than occasional visits or literature to start even a modest flow of students to St. John's. I was told on a number of occasions that adequate scholarship assistance would guarantee one or two good students from a particular school each year. I believe that the mission of St. John's College is to publicize more widely the opportunities which exist here and to further this type of education in other colleges in the country. I should propose that a substantial grant of money be sought from one of the foundations to establish scholarships for students from all over the country to come to St. John's and to disseminate as widely as possible through the public and private schools of this country an understanding of the educational philosophy underlying the St. John's Program. The very novelty of the Program created a certain amount of interest in the late 1930's and early 1940's. �The facts of achievement now give an even more solid base for con vincing people of the efficacy of the St. John's idea. Public Relations A. Chesley Wilson, Jr., a member of the Class of 1942, was appointed Assistant to the President in September with responsibility for publi relations and the Adult Education Program. Mr. Wilson was able to accomplish a great deal for the College prior to being called up in the Naval Reserve in mid-April. Since his departure, Miss Ann Hill, secretary to Mr. Wilson, has continued to issue publicity releases about College events. During the year a wide variety of stories were prepared and released to the newspapers, particularly in connection with my inauguration and the decision of the College to become co-educational. A number of television and radio broadcasts were arranged with faculty and student participation. 11 • • • About St. John'sn and the quarterly bulletin of the College were sent to an ever-increasing list of friends. Brochures were also prepared on adult education, student procurement, the proposed summer school, and the financial campaign. On the western trip which Mrs. Weigle and I made during the spring I made a point of speaking as widely as possible about the College. I found that the leaders of Great Books seminars were particularly interested in learning the details of the St. John's curriculum and in contrasting their seminar methods and readings with ours. Many new friends were gained for the College at such meetings in St. Louis, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Houston, San Antonio, La Jolla, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. Alumni meetings, appearance before service clubs, and newspaper interviews also contributed in these and other cities to a wider public understanding of what St. John's College is doing. The basic problem in connection with any public relations program for St. John's College is to effect a presentation which is dignified and in consonance with the Program itself. There is also the problem of presenting material which will be attractive and of interest to varying groups in the College's constituency. Adult Education Nine adult seminars were conducted during the year; three each in �Annapolis and Baltimore and one each in Easton, Hagerstown and Washington. One. hundr~d and sixty-one participated during the first t rm and eighty-nme durmg the second. Following Mr. Wilson's deearture on military leave, John S. Kieffer was appointed Director of ~dult Education. His plan to conduct a summer session at the College had to be aba.ndoned b~cause. of the latene~s of the announcement, but consideration 1s now bemg given to expanding the Adult Program next year with additional seminars in Frederick, Leonardtown and Cambridge. Alumni Edward F. Lathrop, of the Class of 1938, relinquished his duties as Alumni Secretary in December when he was granted military leave from the College for active service in the United States Navy. His place was filled on a volunteer basis by R. Cresap Davis, of the Class of 1938, who has given freely of his time and energies notwithstanding commitments to an active law practice. With the vigorous leadership of Elmer M. Jackson, Jr., of the Class of 1927, as President of the Alumni Association and the persistent efforts of Mrs. Rosalind Merriken in the Alumni Office, the list of known alumni of the College has now increased to over 1,500 as compared with less than 1,200 a year ago. It is planned to publish an alumni directory as one of the regular bulletins of the College during the coming year. The last such compilation was issued in 1922. A large group of alumni returned for Homecoming in the fall, which coincided with my inauguration. Others met with me during the year for dinners or other gatherings in Baltimore, Washington, New Haven, Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, Los Angeles, and Oakland. New chapters of the Association have been chartered in California and in Washington, D. C. Building Program In my report of a year ago I announced the generous gift of a new heating plant from the Old Dominion Foundation. I am happy to report excellent progress on construction, with occupancy promised for late September. The new building is of Georgian Colonial architecture to conform to the rest of the campus, and is located on St. John's Street immediately northwest. of the temporary defense shops building. It is designed to provide steam from two oil-fired boilers with sufficient �capacity to care for a twenty-five percent differential beyond all presently planned campus expansion. One wing of the new building will house the buildings and grounds office, shops, and vehicles; the other w ill contain student shops, a switch room, and facilities for buildings and grounds personnel. It is believed that dependable heat and hot water will contribute in no small measure to the general well-being of the College community during the now distant rigors of future Annapolis winters. Preliminary plans have now been drawn for a science laboratory building, an auditorium, a women's dormitory, and a larger dining h all as an addition to Randall Hall. The Old Dominion Foundation _h as offered to match funds contributed for the construction of one of these buildings up to a total of $250,000. It is my hope that some friend of the College will make possibe the erection of the women's dormitory on the site of the old heating plant prior to the start of .the academic year in 195 3. In this connection I should also like to report completion of a master plan for campus development, drawn up by the F. Ellwood Allen Organization of New York City. Financial Campaign At Homecoming last fall I announced the start of a long-term campaign to provide adequate endowment fund s for the College. I told at that time of the generous commitment of the Old D ominion Foundation to match dollar for dollar all monies contributed for endowment purposes prior to June 30, 1953, up to a total of $1,000,000. To date fundraising efforts of the College have been confined to members of the Board and to alumni. I am happy to announce that a total of $77,709. had been pledged through June 30, 1951. Of this figure, alumni gifts totaled $41,000., including amounts previously contributed during the annual giving campaigns of 1948-49 and 1949-50, which the Foundation has agreed to match. Cash totaling $29,238. actually received prior to June 30, 1951, has already been matched by the Foundation and invested by the Finance Committee of the Board. This brings the total endowment funds of the College to approximately $300,000. It is planned to press forward with the alumni phase of the campaign during September and October and then to broaden the campaign during the winter. Approaches are likewise being made to ct::rtain foundations . * * * �I am anxious that St. John's College continue to concern itself with the Republic. Our primary task is of course the education of young men and young women in the liberal arts to become leaders in our Republic. Beyond that, however, we have a missionary function to perform in convincing others of the validity of the St. John's idea for assuring the future of the Republic. This is accomplished in part by receiving delegations and individual visitors from other colleges, in part by writing articles and disseminating printed material about the Program, and in part by the daily conversations and contacts of St. John's faculty, students and alumni with others. The College must be concerned with the smaller Republics of the state and city in which it exists. To this end I have sought to make available to townspeople and citizens of the state College concerts, lectures, library services, and the physical facilities of the campus. I have encouraged members of the College to concern themselves with community activities. For my own part I have accepted appointments by the Governor to the Citizens Advisory Committee of the Commission on Administrative Organization in the State, and to the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County. I look forward to the day when the College can contribute to the intellectual development and refreshment of the school teachers of the State through summer seminars on the College campus. It is the responsibility of the College to awaken in its students a sense of civic responsibility and service to the Republic, which will prompt the members of each graduating class to carry on this finest tradition of the College. I appreciate deeply the cooperation and support I have had from members of the Board, from members of the College community, and from alumni and friends. I believe we should face the future with confidence and encouragement, for I am convinced that the College will move ahead in spite of the transitory obstacles created by war and inflation. RICHARD D. WEIGLE Annapolis, Maryland August 3, 1951 �GIFTS AND BEQUESTS St. John's College is a non-governmental, non-sectarian college deriving its income from students fees, from a limited appropriation by the Maryland General Assembly, and from the gifts of its friends and alumni. The type of education for which St. John's stands is exceedingly expensive and it is impossible to establish student fees commensurate with the overall cost. The gap between income and expenses exceeds $150,000, which the College hopes some day to provide for through a substantial permanent endowment. All planning for the future has been based upon the conviction that the College enrollment should not exceed 300 students. To provide an adequate physical plant for this student body, new buildings will be required as well as renovations to existing structures. The College invites gifts and bequests to its current budget, its building program, and its permanent endowment funds. Inquires may be addressed to the President or the Treasurer. Bequests may be made in form similar to the following: "I hereby give and bequeath to the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in the State of Maryland, an educational corporation existing by Charter of the General Assembly of the State of Maryland and situated in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, in said State, the sum of dollars." If bequests are made for specific purposes, such can be fully stated. Attention is invited to the fact that Federal and State income tax deductions resulting from such gifts may mean a cost to the donor of only a fraction of the value of the gift to the College. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JOHN'S COLLEGE IN ANNAPOLIS , / . REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND SEPTEMBER, 1952 Founded as King William's School, 1696. Chartered as St. John's College, 1785 �Volume IV SEPTEMBER, 1952 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. �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To THE MEMBERS OF THE BoARD OF VISITORS AND GovERNORS: .Fifteen years have now passed since the introduction of the present curriculum at St. John's College in the fall of 1937. One can state unequivocally that during this period the College has passed out of the stage of being an experiment. In spite of the difficulties created by two war situations and in spite of tremendous financial and administrative problems, the College has survived and is on firmer ground than at any time in many years. First of all, the College is the possessor of a vital and important idea in education. The College knows why it exists. The faculty and its instruction committee have brought intelligence and skill to bear in building up a sound curricuh~m in the liberal arts and in modifying it as experience demonstrates to be wise. The faculty is an able and devoted group of teachers, scholars not in the sense of research workers in some narrow field of endeavor, but rather in their eagerness and ability to probe enduring and important human problems in company with their students. The student body remains small but includes men and women from many parts of the country, most of whom are distinguished by their maturity and native ability. Finally, the physical plant of the College is in better overall condition than ever before, and the permanent endowment funds of the College are beginning to assume more respectable proportions. The College may now best be described as the pilot college in liberal arts education in the United States. In assessing the influence of St. John's over the last decade and a half, I should like to point first to the role of the College in imparting stimulus to the movement toward what is termed General Education in this country. First through its contributions to the thinking behind the Harvard Report on "General Education in a Free Society," and later through faculty deputations from other colleges to Annapolis, St. John's has contributed largely to curriculum revision in many institutions of higher learning. In most instances the changes which have been adopted have represented a compromise between thoroughgoing liberal arts education and the strongly entrenched vocational requirements of our society. The trend is nonetheless ·heartening. The leavening influence of St. John's has also been felt on a small scale through the activities of the younger alumni, the two hundred and fifty men who have completed the St. John's program since the first class of six men was graduated in 1941. One in four have gone into the professions of teaching, the law, medicine, and �the ministry, and the breadth of their St. John's preparation for professional training has enhanced the reputation of the College. Particularly among those who have embarked upon a teaching career, whether at the elementary and secondary school level or in colleges and universities, there has been apparent an unwillingness to accept the status quo in education. Rather each has sought to inject fresh ideas into the school or college situation in which he finds himself. I venture to suggest that graduate schools will come to plaae a considerable premium upon men with a St. ] ohn's degree and that these graduates will in turn make significant contributions to the educational life of the nation in the years ahead. Wider acceptance of the basic idea underlying the St. John's Program is evident in two important areas. The younger doctors all over the country have evinced dissatisfaction with the highly technical premedical education which they themselves received and have led a movement toward greater emphasis upon the liberal arts for preprofessional students. Medical schools at the Johns Hopkins University, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Yale, and Harvard already appear to be thinking more along these lines. Likewise in the area of business and industry one perceives a concern for the educated man, one who can understand and correlate the work of the technicians and specialists, one who knows human problems, one who is capable of clear thinking and considered judgment. Evidence of this is found in the public utterances of business executives and in conferences such as those held recently at Corning, New York, and Aspen, Colorado. Among the public at large, however, there is still no enthusiastic receptiveness to the type of liberal arts education for which St. John's stands. The College has perhaps failed to capture the imagination of men, as it hoped to. Perhaps the pressure of earning a livelihood has obscured other considerations in the minds of students and their parents. Perhaps it is an innate conservatism in many people, which causes them to regard with suspicion anything as unconventional as the St. John's Program appears to be. At all events, it is in the field of informing the public and convincing them of the efficacy of the St. John's idea that the College has been least effective in these first fifteen years. Even among schoolmen, who express a keen if vicarious interest, there is a basic reluctance to recommend St. John's to their graduating seniors when four years at a safer and less imaginative college is the alternative. By its very nature the St. John's Program is difficult to explain to the uninitiated. The St. John's vocabulary of seminars, tutorials, don rags, tutors and the like sounds more esoteric and intellectual than the more readily comprehended classes, credit hours, grades, 2 �and professors of other colleges. Exercises designed to devdop the mind of a student are comprehended but dimly by a generation which is used to thinking in terms of subject matter courses, majors and minor s, and the pre-requisites for subsequent professional training. Furthermore, the popular association of St. John's with the Great Books has produced a peculiar concept that the College is concerned only with literature and philosophy. Few people realize the fact that students at St. John's study language, mathematics, and laboratory science for four full years. All of this makes immensely difficult the task of interpreting the College to the general public and particularly to the secondary school student and his parents, upon whose willingness to undertake this type of education the future of St. John's depends. It is not enough that the administration and faculty should rely upon the general excellence of the College and its reputation in certain circles. The story must be told more generally. St. John's must consider it a mission to disseminate information about its liberal arts program. Instruction The Dean reports that the academic year just ended was a much better one than were the several immediately preceding ones. The teaching was more effective, the students more eager to learn, the level of application higher, and the general planning and machinery of instruction better. All seminars functioned well. In the tutorials, the principal problem was the desirability of continuing to offer a second year of Greek. There was considerable sentiment among the language tutors in favor of restoring Latin as the language in the second year. The instruction committee finally decided to withhold judgment for one more year, meanwhile studying closely the content and operation of the freshman Greek tutorial. The laboratory sections, with few exceptions, functioned incomparably better than in the preceding year. There were still shortcomings in the content of the laboratory exercise sheets. Nor was the deeper problem of the laboratory set-up solved, in spite of special laboratory seminars on the part of the faculty. A noteworthy modification of - the senior laboratory program was undertaken at the initiative of John Wilkinson, who was appointed to the faculty in the summer of 1951 from the University of Chicago. At the end of the first term each senior began work on a project, which provided him with an opportunity to deploy greater initiative and thus to gain better comprehension of scientific methods and of what science implies. This innovation suffered somewhat from improvisation, · perhaps unavoidable in such new developments, but gives promise of more uniformly excellent results in the future. 3 �During the year the failure of students to attend the weekly chorus caused the instruction committee to revise the music program. The chorus will no longer be an obligatory exercise, since it is impossible to deal with absences from the chorus in the same way as absences from other classes. The freshman music tutorials will be continued as required exercises, and each student will be graded upon his work. Sophomores will have three and juniors two seminars on music during the academic year. Classes will meet as a unit for these seminars, which will be conducted by the tutor in charge of the music program. Out of a class of twenty-seven seniors, only nineteen met the requirements for graduation in June. Three failed to submit their theses in time, one of them having requested more time to prepare his dissertation, in accordance with the stipulations of the catalogue. Five others were not graduated, generally for some deficiency which could be made up during the summer. A ll things considered, the Class of 1952 may be regarded as the weakest which the College has had since 1941. By contrast the results of the enabling examinations which the junior class took were better than in a number of years, an immediate consequence of better work in the junior year. Only two juniors were dropped as a consequence of these examinations. The Students For the first time in the history of the College women students were admitted to the entering class and participated equally with men in the classroom exercises and the general life of the campus. The twenty-four women who enrolled as freshmen seemed an unusually capable group. All finished the year, eight of them with distinction. The Dean reports that their assimilation into the academic life of the College was complete and did not create any difficulty. It is interesting to note certain facts and figures concerning this first group of women at St. John's. Sixteen of them came from Maryland, twelve holding state scholarships. The others came from California, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and the District of Columbia. Twenty of them were unmarried. Three were wives of St. John's upperclassmen and the fourth was a widow. With respect to previous academic exper~ence, two were admitted prior to completing high school, six had attended other colleges before coming to St. John's, one had studied voice after graduating from high school, one was a registered nurse, and two had worked as secretaries for two years or more. Thirteen women held scholarships, and all but five received some form of aidscholarship, grant, or student job. 4 �The Assistant Dean, Miss Barbara L eonard, reports that women students participated generally in the extra-curricular activities of the campus- in the King \i\Tilliam Players, the choral groups, the Bible classes, and on the Cotillion Board. Three women students exhibited paintings and other original art work during the course of the year, two were violinists in the string quartet and one organized a modern dance group. One competed in intercollegiate sailing as a member of the Boat Club and another pitched on the fre shman softball team. The majority of the women confined their athletic participation to the individual sports, such as badminton, tennis, ping pong and swimming. The only team sport which met with any enthusiasm was volley-ball, in which the freshman co-educational teams competed against the all-male aggregations of the upperclassmen. Team sports among the women alone must a wait the enrollment of women in all four classes at St. John's. Total enrollment at the College during the year amounted to 151 students as follows: 28 seniors, 27 juniors, 42 sophomores, and 54 freshmen. Eleven students were dropped during the year, three freshmen, all of them repeaters, four sophomores, three juniors, and one senior. Of the total st udent body, thirty-eight were vet erans. Fifty-eight held Maryland state scholarships, and sixty-seven were recipients of grants or student jobs from the College. In this connection the College made available to students during the academic _y ear scholarships amounting to $56,550, grants-in-aid amounting to $9,650, and student jobs amounting to $15,222, or a grand total of $81,422. For the coming academic year it will be necessary to increase this figure to approximately $100,000. Campus Life A year ago the Dean predicted that the College would live on a firmer ground with respect to campus discipline. This has been achieved. The situation with regard to absences from classes was considerably improved, although still unsatisfactory in the cases of the sophomores and seniors. The Dean issued a number of first and second warnings and exerted as great a pressure on the students in this regard as could be considered efficacious. The problem of men and women living on the same campus was met initially by certain rules of residence laid down by the administration, since the Student Polity the preceding spring had been unwilling to assume the responsibility for making and enforcing such rules governing the dormitories. The administration in promulgating -the rules of residence sought to make them as liberal as possible, with .a view to stimulating a sense of responsibility in the student for his 5 �own behavior. The administration informed the students that it did not propose to police the dormitories, but that it sought to develop a reasonable attitude of cooperation toward the whole problem of student conduct on the campus. The Student Polity, although recognizing the necessity for order on the campus, had some misgivings about the rules as promulgated by the administration. A series of student meetings were held on the general problem of living in a community of learning, with faculty members invited to participate in the discussions. Finally an alternate set of rules of residence were submitted by the Polity and accepted by the administration, whereupon the Polity assumed responsibility once more for their promulgation and execution. The new rules may need further revision after more experience living under them. It is evident, however, that a common understanding exists now as between administration and students in matters of communal life. There are still problems to be worked out, particularly with respect to the way in which the Student Court functions in dealing with violations of the rules. On the other hand, it is probably a safe assumption that the majority of the students have come to share the opinion that an active student government is the best way to make students understand the problems of organizing the life of an institution such as ours and the degree of responsibility that this entails. In conclusion it should be noted that the presence of women students on the campus did create some difficulties, but certainly no more than could be expected, and, in the opinion 'of the Dean, far less than the non-coeducational set-up of former years. The Library During the year there were three notable accessions to the book collection. Mr. Paul Mellon presented the College with the Founders' Edition of the Great Books of the Wes tern World. The Bollingen Foundation gave the first thirty-one volumes published in its series, including books on architecture, painting, sculpture, and Eastern culture. The library will receive future publications in the Bollingen Series, including a book to appear next year by Victor Zuckerkandl, Director of Music at St. John's. Finally, Miss Maria Baldwin made a gift to the College of fifty-one books from her personal library. These are for the most part English classics and include some fine editions of the titles on the St. John's reading list. One other current gift to the College is now on display in the library, a rare Ch'ing celadon jar, the gift of Mr. Alexander Sachs of New York City. 6 �The Library Committee met at regular intervals to advise the Librarian on book purchases, and special attention was devoted to building up the contemporary French collection. The Committee also sent a gift copy of the St. John's translation of Appolonius to the John Erskine Memorial Library at Dijon University, France. The Infirmary M iss Elizabeth Hopkins, R.N., the College Nurse, reports that nine women and forty-three men students were admitted to the infirmary in the course of the year for a total of 197 sick days. In addition, twenty-one women students, 105 men students, and twentyfour faculty and staff members received a total of 818 treatments in the dispensary. Student Procurement In the absence of a full-time director of admissions William A. Darkey, of the Class of 1942 and a tutor at the College, served on a part-time basis. This meant that visits to high schools and preparatory schools were largely curtailed except as I could combine them with official travel in various parts of the country. In mid-March John Sterrett, of the Class of 1950, was appointed Admissions Officer to assist Mr. Darkey. He thereupon concentrated his efforts on visiting the public high schools of Maryland and the District of Columbia, with a view to stimulating interest in the Maryland state scholarship program. During the year initial steps were taken to enlist the alumni in the matter of recruiting new students. It is a matter of record that the largest number of entering freshmen have come because of personal contact with a St. John's alumnus or member of the student body. It is planned to develop a list of capable and willing graduates located throughout the country who would visit local high schools, and to whom inquiring prospective students might be referred. The alumni have indicated their interest in this plan by the selection of a committee to work with the Admissions Office on the problem. Recognizing the importance of provocative and stimulating literature in disseminating information about St. John's to prospective students and their parents, the College engaged professional help to supplement its own efforts in producing a new recruitment brochure entitled "Learning for Living." This brochure appeared in June as a regular issue of the College Bulletin and has been given extensive distribution. It is designed to be the first item that a prospective student reads and aims to acquaint him with the philosophy of the College. Reprints of my article in School and Society, entitled "Record 7 �of St. John's Graduates, 1937-1952," and of Milton Mayer's article in Harper, s, entitled "Socrates Crosses the Delaware,'' were also obtained in quantity for distribution. Finally, a determined effort has been made to invite guidance counsellors and secondary students to visit St. John's and attend the evening seminars. This device has been most effective in arousing interest and in acquainting others with the St. John's Program. For the second summer in succession the Maryland Boys' State, sponsored by the American Legion, has held its sessions on the campus. Seminars under St. John's tptors have been held to give the boys firsthand experience in how the program of the College operates. Two boys were admitted to the College this year as a result of their earlier attendance at Boys' State. Again the fifty-eight Maryland state scholarships are filled. In March of this year approximately eighty boys and girls from most of the counties and legislative districts of the state took the scholarship examination and indicated St. John's as the college of their first or second choice. These boys and girls were competing for some twenty vacancies, which is encouraging evidence of an awakening interest in St. John's in Maryland. The actual administration of the state scholarship program leaves much to be desired, however. Appointments are sometimes delayed until some of the abler candidates have felt it necessary to make other plans. Mr. Darkey wisely recommends a conference of the colleges which participate in the Maryland scholarship program, together with representatives of the State Department of Education, to determine a more expeditious method of handling the examination papers and of effecting earlier senatorial appointments. The state senators generaily appreciate the problem which the College faces in this regard and have sought to be cooperative. During the winter I invited all the senators to attend dinner in the dining hall one evening, along with their scholarship appointees. This gave them some first-hand familiarity with the College and its students and will enable them to understand the College better in making future scholarship appointments. Student procurement continues to be one of the two most vital problems which confront the College, finances being the other. Since the peak enrollment of the immediate post-war years the size of the freshman class has declined from 92 in 1947 to 74 in 1948, 70 in 1949, 63 in 1950, and 53 in 1951. Prospects for this fall are for even less. I consider it imperative that every effort be made to admit a class of approximately a hundred well qualified students in 8 �the fall of 1953. The College is now able to assimilate a group of this size, and it would be an important step toward the ultimate goal of a balanced enrollment of 300 students at St. John's. It is difficult to assign precise reasons for the failure of the College to attract as many students ·as it should. It is true that we find ourselves in an exceedingly competitive market for students, when one considers the draft and the relatively small school population born during the depression 'thirties. Disregarding this, however, St. John's is offering a type of education which is in direct opposition to the prevailing climate of opinion in the country, which places emphasis upon specialized training to prepare for specific jobs. The non-elective feature of the curriculum undoubtedly disturbs many prospective students, particularly those who imagine themselves weak in mathematics or laboratory science. The course rightly creates the impression of requiring considerable effort on the part of those who enroll, and this, unfortunately, is not always the reason that men and women come to college. A continuing factor in the general picture is the lack of accreditation by the regional accrediting agency. In spite of the fact that the Maryland State Department of Education recognizes the College, and in spite of the fact that all of the principal universities welcome recommended graduates of St. John's College, some parents continue to harbor doubts about a college without this particular stamp of approval. Coupled with these doubts is a basic suspicion of anything which is new and relatively non-conformist. One of the principal tasks which lies ahead of us is cultivation of secondary school headmasters and headmistresses, principals and guidance counsellors. Once they are convinced of the worthwhileness of the St. John's Program they will prove invaluable in steering able students to the College and in persuading reluctant parents of the merits of this liberal arts education. , I am happy to announce the appointment of Joseph Hollywood, Jr., of the Class of 1947, to be Director of Admissions commencing this September. He and Mr. Sterrett, the Admissions Officer, ar~ now planning a comprehensive program of student recruitment for the coming year, to include school visits, demonstration seminars, alumni cooperation, and widespread dissemination of information about the College. Adult Education Under the skillful guidance of John S. Kieffer, Director of Adult Education, the adult program showed most gratifying growth with 37 5 individuals participating in fourteen seminars, two language 9 �classes, and a short story wntmg group. Noteworthy was the innovation of conducting a seminar in Annapolis on world politics. This was done in cooperation with the American Foundation for Political Education of Chicago, of which Charles Nelson, of the Class of 1945, is the director. Mr. Kieffer led this seminar in collaboration with Douglas Lacey, professor in the Department of English, History and Government at the United States Naval Academy. Mr. Lacey proved an excellent leader and will continue with the program during the coming year. Mention should also be made of the valuable teaching of Mrs. Richard Scofield and Mrs. William H . Bayliff. Mrs. Scofield has had considerable experience in seminar work, having taught for some years in the Basic Program of the University of Chicago. Finally, it is interesting to note that the son of one of the adult seminar participants has been enrolled in the entering freshman class at the College this fall. The Adult Education Program is certainly one of the most effective means of informing people about the College and its methods. Administration With respect to staff changes, Miss Marian Alexander, who had served faithfully and well as College dietician for many years, completed her appointment at the College and accepted a position in Washington. Miss Alexander was released with regret because the College found that it could operate the dining hall at a considerable saving by contract with an outside food purveying system. During her last year at the College Miss Alexander served as housekeeper, replacing Mrs. Marie Johnson in November. Mrs. Johnson's termination was also a result of the overstaffing attendant upon the change in the dining hall operation. Mr. Joseph G. Smith, machinist, resigned in October to accept a position at the Johns Hopkins University. He was replaced by Felix S. Suwall, who serves as a laboratory assistant and technician rather than as a machinist. Mrs. Joan Hutchins, cashier, resigned from the business office for family reasons in June after several years of careful and dependable work. She was replaced by Mrs. Athalia B. Morrow commencing July 1st. Irving V. Abb, of the Class of 1947, managed the print shop on a part-time basis during the year_, after Clarence J. Kramer, of the Class of 1948, relinquished this portion of his duties in favor of tutorial commitments. Mrs. Aleitha Janos resigned as varitype operator in the middle of the year and was succeeded by Mrs. Nancy Gearing, who stayed until mid-June. The present watchman, George J. Danek, has served in this capacity since March, which bids fair to establish some sort of record for this position. For the financial 10 �campaign two temporary typists were employed for varying periods, Mrs. Sally Clark and Miss Betty Barron. The major change in the physical facilities of the College was the completion of the new heating plant and shop building in the fall. Appropriate ceremonies were held on Homecoming Day to mark the formal transfer of the building to the College. Paul Mellon, president of the Old Dominion Foundation, made the presentation. The new building has more ·than fulfilled all expectations, providing a steady and even flow of heat and hot water, which is more than could be claimed for its predecessor. Cost of operation with oil burners is slightly in excess of that using the coal fired boilers, but there is considerably greater radiation than there was a year ago. Other physical changes on the campus include demolition of the old chimney and boiler room, and the razing of temporary wooden annexes to Humphreys Hall and Koogle House. Randall Hall was completely redecorated and remodeled for the use of women students during the summer of 1951, the cost having been defrayed by generous contributions on the part of certain Annapolis banks and business firms, as well as a number of other friends of the College in A nnapolis and Baltimore. Stone House was left vacant during the year to permit the buildings and grounds crew to complete extensive renovations. It will be occupied by women students this fall, in addition to Randall Hall. In the interests of economy of operation, the College contracted for food services with the Slater System, Inc., of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Both the dining hall and coffee shop were run under the direction of a resident manager. All personnel was provided by the company except for the student waiters. It took some months to eliminate the justified complaints as to the operations of this organization, but by late spring the students were agreed on the wisdom of renewing the contract for another year. Savings to the College from the contract were considerable, not only in money but also in administration. Finances Expenses for the fiscal year amounted to $413,804, including $81,422 in scholarships and student aid. Income exceeded expenditures by $19,313, most of which was used up in the purchase of the required $15,000 worth of mortgage certificates. The College has maintained a perfect record for the twelve years that this debt retirement agreement has been in operation and has acquired certifi11 �cates or placed cash in the sinking fund for an aggregate figure of $181,850. These annual purchases, however, provide a considerable strain upon the cash position of the College. Although there was definite improvement over June of 1951, the College still finished the fiscal year with a bank overdraft. I am happy to report that the permanent endowment funds of the College, both alumni and general, increased .by over $92,000 during the year. Half of this sum represents gifts from alumni and friends and the other half the matching gift of the Old Dominion Foundation. The Finance Committee of the Board of Visitors and Governors has continued to do an outstanding job in the matter of investing these funds, their June statement showing an excellent portfolio of governments, bonds, and preferred and common stocks. Including gifts for current purposes as well as endowment, the College received a grand total of approximately $103,000 during the year, exclusive of pledges payable at a later date. For the coming academic year it was decided to raise the tuition fee from $650 to $850 to provide for increased faculty salaries and greater student aid. This brings total fees for the year to $1,500 per student, which is not inconsistent with the charges at other institutions. A request is now being submitted to the Director of Budget and Procurement of the State of Maryland to increase the state appropriation for the fiscal year of 1954 from $63,000 to $87,000, based upon the greater cost to the College of offering the fifty-eight state scholarships to Maryland students. These two steps will help somewhat with what promises to be a difficult job of finance in the years ahead. Every effort must be exerted, however, in the current financial campaign to increase endowment income, for the present commitment of the Old Dominion Foundation for support of the College's annual budget terminates in June of 1953. Financial Campaign During the course of the year it became apparent that the College would require professional assistance and advice if it were to succeed in the campaign to raise $1,000,000 for endowment and $250,000 for new building in accordance with the generous matching offer of the Old Dominion Foundation. The firm of Marts and Lundy, Inc., of New York City, was engaged to conduct a fund -raising survey to determine the feasibility of the project. After receiving a favorable report, the Board of Visitors and Governors considered the matter carefully, but finally decided not to engage Marts and Lundy for the actual campaign. The reason was their insistence upon a large 12 �and relatively expensive convocation to launch the fund-raising effort. Instead the Board retained William F. Murphy, of New York City, as fund-raising counsel and is endeavoring through his advice and assistance to discover new potential sources of support for the College. Mr. Murphy drew up a campaign plan, which was approved by the Board in April. The plan calls for the raising of regional scholarship endowment funds in certain key cities all over the United States, thus contributing simultaneously to the solution of the recruitment problem. The plan also anticipates specific campaigns. in Maryland, and a more general effort throughout the country to raise funds for an auditorium and theater building to be a memorial to Francis Scott Key, of the Class of 1796. Some preparatory meetings were held during the year, but the main campaign effort is scheduled for the winter and spring of 1953. Public Relations The College has received excellent newspaper coverage during the year, particularly in Baltimore and Washington. Feature stories were largely concerned with coeducation at St. John's. Miss Ann Hill has continued to prepare publicity releases and maintain contacts with editors. About St. Jolin, s appeared regularly on a bi-monthly basis under student editorship, and went out to a large mailing list. In January there were four televised St. John's seminars on the college program sponsored by WEAL-TV of Baltimore. I have continued to try to make the physical facilities of the College available to groups in the community whenever such use did not impinge upon the regular activities of the campus. Among the varied groups granted permission to use college buildings or grounds during the year were Maryland Boys' State, the Girl Scouts, the League of Women Voters, the Republican Party, the Young Democrats of Anne Arundel County, the Rotary Club, the Annapolis Kennel Club, Friends of Recreation, Inc., St. Mary's High School, Historic Annapolis, Inc., the United World Federalists, and the Christian Science Church. Alumni Under the continuing leadership of Elmer M. Jackson, Jr., of the Class of 1927, as president and R. Cresap Davis, of the Class of 1938, as secretary, the Alumni Association enjoyed a good year, building 13 �its active rolls to 1,700 members with local chapters organized from Maryland to California. I addressed regional dinners in Baltimore, Washington, Hagerstown, and Cumberland, in addition to the Homecoming Dinner in Annapolis. The Hagerstown gathering was particularly noteworthy in that high school guidance personnel, preparatory school masters, and prospective students were the guests of the alumni for the dinner and evening. It is hoped that this pattern will be followed by alumni in other cities. Accreditation In February the College was visited for four days by an evaluating committee of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Their report was in turn considered by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools at its April meeting. The Commission voted to defer accreditation of St. John's College pending improvement in the financial .status of the College. This action was based upon "the considerable deficit incurred each year in the operation of the college, and because gifts to cover that deficit are insured only for the next two years." Specifically, the Commission "decided to withhold final action on St. John's College until the conclusion of the campaign to raise funds in accordance with the generous offer of the Old Dominion Foundation," in the words of the chairman of the Commission. ' I take vigorous exception to the action of the Commission, for it seems to me that the only valid ground for granting or withholding accreditation must be the record of the product of a college or uni,versity. The evidence amassed by the younger St. John's alumni, 1 including their performance in graduate and professional schools, provides ample reason for according this formal recognition to the College. Financial grounds can hardly be valid criteria for determining the effectiveness of the educational job being done by a college, and even if they were, St. John's College is certainly in a more favorable financial position than many institutions in this country. I venture to state that relatively few of them are certain of having their deficits covered, even for two years in advance. It is at best an anomalous position that the College should find itself seeking accreditation from a commission which is part of the vested system of education in this country against which the St. John's Program is a protest. The College has adopted this course of action for two reasons only, partly to allay the doubts of parents and guidance counsellors of prospective students and partly to ease the path of the St. John's graduate as he applies for advanced edu14 �cation or for commissions in the armed forces. Postponement of a decision on the part of the Commission on Higher Education in effect makes it more difficult to rectify the very financial situation which prompted the Commission to act as it did, for without accreditation the College must work harder to obtain both new students and new money. I still believe that it is worthwhile pursuing the case with the Commission in the spring of 1953 after the campaign has been in operation for a reasonable period. Given a substantial measure of success in the drive for funds there is every reason to believe that the application for accreditation will meet with approval. This makes doubly important the money-raising task which lies ahead of the Board, the alumni, and all friends of the College during the coming winter and spring. I am confident that the year immediately ahead . will mark a turning point in the fortunes of the College, and I move forward into it with confidence and determination. RICHARD D. WEIGLE Annapolis, Maryland September 11, 1952 15 �GIFTS AND BEQUESTS St. John's College is a non-governmental, non-sectarian college deriving its income from students' fees, from a limited appropri::ttion by the Maryland General Assernbly, and from the gifts of its friends and alumni. The type of education for which St. John's stands is exceedingly expensive and it is impossible to establish student fees commensurate with the overall cost. The gap between income and expenses exceeds $150,000, which the College hopes some day to provide for through a substantial permanent endowment. All planning for the future has been based upon the conviction that the College enrollment should not exceed 300 students. To provide an adequate physical plant for this student body, new buildings will be required as well as renovations to existing structures. The College invites gifts and bequests to its current budget, its building program, and its permanent endowment funds. Inquiries may be addressed to the President or the Treasurer. Bequests may be made in a form similar to the following : "I hereby give and bequeath to the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in the State of Maryland, an educational corporation existing by Charter of the General Assembly of the State of Maryland and situated in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, in said State, the sum of dollars." If bequests are made for specific purposes, such can be fully stated. Attention is invited to the fact that Federal and State income tax deductions resulting from such gifts may mean a cost to the donor of only a fraction of the value of the gift to the College. 16 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JOHN'S COLLEGE IN ANNAPOLIS REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND SEPTEMBER, 1953 Founded as King William's School, 1696. Chartered as St. John's College, 1785 �REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To THE BOARD OF VISITORS AND GovERNORs: Volume V SEPTEMBER, 1953 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. The year which has just ended marked a turning point in t_ e fortunes of St. John's College. We are today on firm h ground for almost the first time in the recent history of the College. I am happy to report, ,first qf all, that St. John's is now a fully accredited institution. In April the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools voted to accredit us. This action constitutes formal recognition of the effectiveness of the College in fulfilling its educational aims and purposes, as well as endorsement of its administrative and financial stability. It also ·serves to confirm the conviction which both the Board and friends of St. John's have long held as to the permanence and efficacy of the educational idea at the heart of the College. I feel certain that many practical benefits will accrue to the College from this action by the regional accrediting ,agency. The financial position of the College was never better. For the first time in three decades there are cash reserves sufficient to retire all outstanding indebtedness and to provide working capital for the future. Brice House, one of the last of the colonial properties acquired during the 1920' s, was sold and the proceeds returned to endowment. McDowell Hall survived a stubborn fire in November and is now in superb physical condition. The College's endowment funds reached the record figure of $650,889, more than double what they were a year ago. Moreover, the Old Dominion Foundation, which made possible the debt liquidation program, has agreed to underwrite a five-year budget based upon an increasing enrollment, which, if realized, assures the College of balanced operations in the future. Finally, we have embarked upon three significant new ventures. The first is a teaching internship program made pos• 1 • �sible by a grant from the Fund for the Advancement of Education, established by the Ford Foundation. Its aim is to improve the quality of preparation for college teaching. The Fund has also made us a grant to conduct a self-study project to examine the effectiveness of the curriculum in the light of the experience of the younger alumni. The third venture is a contract with the Foreign Operations Administration of the Federal Government, whereby foreign nationals participating in its labor-trainee program will receive a week of orientation at St. John's College before commencing their tour of American industrial centers. All three of these programs provide new stimulus to life on the campus. Instruction compared, and a series of exercises will be worked out by an ad hoc committee of the faculty who are to do the actual teaching. The objectives will be greater understanding of language per se and greater facility in the English language. The Instruction Committee also decided to abolish the enabling examinations at the end of the junior year. These were a series of one oral and four written examinations which determined the eligibility of the student to become a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The Instruction Committee rightly decided that these examinations produced inconveniences and inequities, especially in the case of a student who might fail after having spent three years at St. John's College. The new procedure specifies five similar examinations at the end of the sophomore year. The review of the results of this set of examinations, together with the two-year record of the student, will help to determine whether a student should continue his studies at St. John's. As is customary, the Instruction Committee devoted much time to a careful revision of the seminar reading list. It was decided to introduce more books on modem science in the senior year; and recent works on general economic and political problems as well. There will also be three "research seminars" in the first· term of the fourth year. In these seminars the seniors will have an opportunity to cope extensively with works outside the prescribed reading list but nevertheless related to it. The Dean reports that the College seems to have reached a stage in which teaching and learning proceed smoothly and almost automatically, apart from inevitable difficulties in individual cases. He expresses some concern lest this produce routine instead of spontaneous struggling with problems. He indicates that we must be on guard against staleness in tutor and student alike, since the smallness of the enrollment precludes much variation in the composition of classes. In general, however, he characterizes the situation as more than satisfactory, with many seminars and tutorials notable for their excellence. In accordance with the plan worked out by the Instruction Committee a year ago, considerable attention was given throughout the year to the problem of continuing the Greek tutorial in the sophomore year. It was finally decided to make this language tutorial primarily an English tutorial, in which a great deal of writing would be demanded of the student. There will also be some opportunity for those particularly interested in Greek to satisfy this interest. The plan does not envisage simply the writing of compositions. Rather the tutorial will concentrate upon grammatical, logical, and rhetorical analyses of texts, both in poetry and prose. Different English translations of Greek texts will be scrutinized and In December the Dean attended a conference on the graduate school training of college teachers, sponsored by the Fund for the Advancement of Education at Pasadena, California. In part as a result of this gathering, the College submitted certain proposals to the Fund looking toward the establishment of a limited graduate division. The aim was the more adequate preparation of future college teachers, for St. John's as well as for other institutions. Six months later a counter-proposal from the Fund was accepted by the • 2 •· • 3 • Teaching Internship Program �College, whereby the College was awarded a grant of $37,000 to carry on a teaching internship program for the coming academic year. Six interns have already been selected from a large list of candidates, many of them with advanced degrees. They will each teach one tutorial, seminar or laboratory section, participate in a seminar among themselves, and pursue independent research or other projects of their choice. This project will provide a useful reservoir of future faculty members with some experience in the seminar-tutorial teaching methods. It will help the community to acquaint itself with new people and new views. It will also relieve some of the regular faculty members of their routine duties and counteract any tendency toward staleness. Needless to say, the whole program will be carried on under the careful scrutiny and direction of the Dean and the Instruction Committee. The Faculty Exclusive of those on leave of absence, the faculty consisted of seventeen tutors actively engaged in teaching. This meant that the College maintained the unusually favorable student-teacher ratio of eight to one. The faculty was measurably strengthened by the return of Mr. Raymond N. Wilburn after a three-year leave of absence in Europe; also by the return of Mr. J. Winfree Smith following his sabbatical year in England and by the appointment of Mr. Douglas Allanbrook, musician and composer, who came to St. John's from Italy where he had held a Fulbright Fellowship. Mr. William K. Smith was absent during the year on sabbatical leave, and Mr. Victor Zuckerkandl was awarded a Bollingen Fellowship to complete the writing of a book. He spent the second and third terms in Zurich, Naples, and Vienna, while Mr. Allanbrook taught the music tutorials and seminars in his absence. students dropped out or were asked to leave during the year, making a total of 119 who completed the year. Fourteen seniors graduated in June, three of them c?m laude. Of the five who failed to graduate, two must submit new theses, two must make up deficiencies in the program, and one must pass a reading knowledge examina_ti_on in German. _Enrollment continues to be the most cntical problem facmg the College. During the first two terms of the academic year t~e _rul_es of residence in College dormitories were under the !unsdiction of the Student Polity or government. A considerable majority of the student body adhered to the rules, but there was a conspicuous minority who ignored them. The Polity, although aware of flagrant abuses, were unwilling to enforce the regulations, as there was a basic reluctance to report offenders for action by the Student Court. Both the administration and faculty felt that the situation was out of hand and consequently in April the administration revoked its grant of powers to the Student Polity with respect to this aspect of campus life. With the assistance of a faculty committee, a new set of rules was formulated and promulgated, the administration thus assuming responsibility for their enforcement. It is regrettable that the students were unwilling to accept responsibility along with the freedom to legislate over this phase of their campus life. It is the hope of the administration that the Student Polity will demonstrate its readiness to resume this jurisdiction at some future date. The Students The year began with 20 seniors, 30 juniors, 41 sophomores, and 42 freshmen, making a total of 133 students. Fourteen All fifty-eight Maryland State Scholarships were filled, as has been the case for the last several years. Other financial aid extended to students included $11,744 awarded in grantsin-aid and $17,213 expended for student jobs. In aggregate the College provided $96,357 in scholarships, grants, and student employment to approximately 100 men and women, or nearly three-quarters of the entire student body. • 4 . • 5 • �Student Recruitment In an effort to recruit an able and representative freshman class for this fall, the admissions officers of the College visited approximately 300 high schools and preparatory scho.ols in New England, the middle Atlantic states, an~ .the midwest as far as Chicago. Immediate results of these vlSlts have been disappointing, but the Director of Admissions belie~es t~at important ground work for th~ f~ture has be~n laid with headmasters, headmistresses, prmcipals, and gmdance counsellors, many of whom were greatly misinformed abo~t St. John's. Interviews, talks, and conversations corr~cted misconceptions in a number of cases and have established a. ~ore favorable climate of opinion for the years ahead. This is a long-range endeavor, but I am optimistic that sc~ool vi~its of this nature will ultimately provide the College with a sizeable core of good freshmen each year. Important beginnings have been made ~n enlisting the alumni for admissions work. More than thirty men agreed to serve as representatives of the College in their resp.ective cities or communities. For the most part these alumm have confined their activities thus far to discussing St. John's w~th interested students and parents whose names were supplied by the College. It is hoped that actual school visits m~y be undertaken in the future so that liaison may be established with guidance counsellors. In both Philadelphia and Tulsa, where regional scholarships have been. e~tablished, scholar: ship committees have been set up consistmg of b?th al~~m and non-alumni members. Both functioned effectively m mterviewing scholarship candidates. An innovation this past year was the demonstration seminar. In November a group of St. John's students and t~tors traveled to Pittsburgh where they conducted two semmars before secondary school students and faculty, as well as the public at large. This same pro~edu.re was. followed a.t To"".n Hall in New York City in Apnl with a sizeable audience m attendance at both sessions. It is planned to continue these • 6 • seminars during the coming year with trips tentatively scheduled to Boston in November, Wilmington in December, Philadelphia in January, and Richmond in March. It appears to be an effective technique for presenting an introduction to the St. John's program. I am particularly pleased to report a substantial increase in our scholarship funds, for in many cases these will enable promising students to apply for admission who could not otherwise ·afford to do so. Regional scholarships have been endowed in Annapolis, Philadelphia, and Tulsa, and initial gifts for the same purpose have com~ in from Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Other scholarships, notably the Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones Scholarships, have been set up without regard to geographical area. Student procurement will be our primary concern during the year ahead, for I should like to recruit a class of nearly one hundred students from twice that number of applicants in the fall of 1954. Classes of this size over the next few years will enable St. John's to achieve an overall enrollment of three hundred, which promises to be a more advantageous and economical figure for the educational and administrative life of the College. In this connection, I should like to announce that we have received funds to enable us to produce a color-sound motion picture about the College. The script is now being written, and the filming will be undertaken this fall. I am sure that such a visual presentation of the St. John's story in schools and before other audiences all over the country will create new interest and will have a stimulating effect upon the number of inquiries from prospective students and their parents. Adult Education Twenty-three different seminars and ;lasses were c?nducted under the auspices of the St. Johns adult education program during the year. An inter~sting addition ~o the usual offerings was a two-semester semmar on the philosophy of • 7 • �r war, conducted by Professors Henry Lumpkin and William Russell of the Department of English, History, and Government in the United States Naval Academy. Popular response to the adult education program has been such that we have decided to expand it beyond the limits of the State of Maryland. We will accordingly sponsor seminars during the coming year in cities in various parts of the country wherever there are qualified St. John's alumni who are able to serve as seminar leaders. An innovation this year was the first St. John's Seminarin-Europe, offered in cooperation with Study Abroad, Inc., of New York City. Mr. John S. Kieffer, Director of Adult Education, conducted the seminar of twenty-three persons on a seven-week tour which included Rome, Florence, Geneva, Augsburg, Bad Homburg, Paris, London, Canterbury, and Stratford-on-Avon. In each place formal seminars were held to disGuss one of the books in the regular St. John's curriculum which was appropriate to the particular locality. Scholars and educators in the areas toured also took part in certain of the seminars and served as guest lecturers. Participants this summer were so enthusiastic that the tour may well become a regular part of our adult education program. Administration assistant nurse, and by resignation Mr. Felix S. Suwall, who had worked as laboratory assistant for nearly two years. The only major change in the real estate owned by the College was the sale of the Brice House to Mr. and Mrs. Stanley S. Wohl of W ashington, D. C. Like the HammondHarwood House, the Brice House had been purchased in the late 1920's and was later mortgaged to the endowment fund. The proceeds from its sale were therefore restored to general endowment funds, thus augmenting future income from this source. The Board may well feel that its trust with respect to the Brice House has been amply discharged, for the new owners project a complete restoration of the house and expect to make it their permanent home. On the night of November 24, 1952, fire of unknown origin broke out in the storage room of the book store of McDowell Hall. Before it was extinguished three hours later, the building had suffered considerable structural damage. Furthermore, nearly eight thousand dollars worth of books were destroyed. The insurance settlement, together with donations of over six thousand dollars, enabled us to replace the floor in the Great Hall and to repair and redecorate the entire building. In the course of remodeling certain potential fire hazards in wiring and enclosed areas were removed. Again this year the physical facilities of the College have been made available to diverse local groups. Historic Annapolis, Incorporated, which held its initial meeting on the campus in December of 1951, was provided with rent-free quarters in Chase House during the spring. In June M aryland Boys' State of the American Legion and the Optimists' University for Citizenship each used the College's buildings. There were relatively few personnel changes during the year. M rs. Shirley Brown was appointed for the year in the dual role of book store manager and resident head of Randall Hall. M rs. Aleitha Janos resumed her former position as varitype operator. M rs. M ary Steward and Mrs. Melita N_e~ell joined the staff of the development office, and M rs. Pnsc1lla Shore was engaged to work on the self-study program under its executive secretary, Clarence J. Kramer, of the C lass of 1948. Mr. Albert Macey, who assumed the responsibilities of nightwatchman in December, has performed his job more conscientiously than any recent incumbent. By retirement the College lost the cheerful services of Mrs. Edith Grow, • 8 • 'Ml.JI In March we received a most significant gift of $300,000 from the Old Dominion Foundation, designed to liquidate the longstanding indebtedness of St. John's. As a result of this gift the College was able to restore completely all en• 9 • College Finances �-------dowment funds which had been used in the 1920' s and 1930's for current operating expenses. It also enabled the College to create a special fund, separately invested in United States Government obligations, for the purpose of retiring the remaining $100,566 in mortgage certificates as they fall due between now and 1960. The College will continue its established policy of calling for tenders each spring. I hope that these certificate holders, like many of those in the past, will wish to aid the College by endorsing their certificates over as gifts to St. John's or by offering them for sale at a generous discount. In its current operations the College would have faced a considerable deficit had not the Old Dominion Foundation specified that the remainder of its gift be added to current funds. It was the intention of the Foundation that the bulk of this amount be carried over into future years to provide a much needed revolving working capital. This was accomplished as you will note on the appended balance sheet and condensed statement of current income. Total income for the year was $495,187.33 and net expense $478,789.21, leaving a net income of $16,398.12, while the sum of $50,969.91 was reserved for future operations. In this ccrnnection it is interesting to note that the balance sheet shows total current reserves of over sixty thousand dollars as contrasted with a current fund deficit of nearly ninety-six thousand dollars on June 30, 1952. The College received an appropriation of $63,000 from the State of Maryland, which fell short of covering the cost of the fifty-eight senatorial and tuition scholarships offered to Maryland boys and girls. I am happy to report, however, that the General Assembly approved the Governor's budget increasing this appropriation to $75,000 for the coming year. I should also like to note that the College received grants totaling $62,000 from the Fund for the Advancement of Education for the self-study program and the teaching internship program, the latter for the next academic year. • 10 • - - -- - - - - - - - - -- - - Unfortunately the College did not achieve its goal in the fund-raisi?g campaign, though considerable progress can be reported m a number of centers. Before matching, gifts and pledges received through June 30, 1953 totaled $246,488 toward endowment funds and $21,528 toward the new women's dormitory. I am glad to announce that the Old Dominion Foundation has agreed to extend to June 30, 1955, its offer to match dollar for dollar any moneys received toward endowment, up to a maximum of $1,000,000, and toward new construction, up to a maximum of $250,000. Special mention should be made of the alumni phase of the general campaign effort. Under the honorary chairmanship of Addison Mullikin, of the Class of 1895, and the general chairmanship of John C. Donohue, of the Class of 1935, over 500 alumni contributed a total of $91,738. This represents gifts from more than a third of the alumni body, both graduates and non-graduates. Now that the endowment drive has ended, the decision of the Alumni Association to inaugurate an annual giving campaign for current purposes is most helpful from the standpoint of the College. Wide participation in this recurring project will assure St. John's of an important continuing source of income to aid in balancing its annual budgets. By the end of the fiscal year the Alumni Endowment Fund had grown to a total figure of $167,229, while the general endowment funds reached $483,660. In accordance with the action of the Board these funds, totaling $650,889, have been . pooled for investment purposes only. The Finance Committee is again to be commended for their wise and careful management of the College's rapidly expanding portfolio. Gifts to the College I should like at this point to mention certain of the principal gifts received during the year, at the same time making of record the gratitude of the College for all gifts which were received during the year from approximately seven hundred donors: • 11 • �I A gift of $25,000 from Mrs. George M. Austin and Dr. George M. Austin, Jr., of Philadelphia, to endow the George M. Austin Memorial Scholarships, in memory of George M. Austin, of the Class of 1908; . A gift of $25,000 from Eugene B. Adkins, of the Class of 1953, to create the Oklahoma Regional Scholarships; A commitment of $15,000 from the trustees of the William H. Labrot Fund of the Endowment Guild of St. Anne's Parish in Anne Arundel County, Inc., to establish the Annapolis Self-Help Scholarships; Gifts totaling approximately $2,000 from the Faculty of St. John's College, to establish the Faculty Scholarship for a senior student; and St. John's Ctillege, to solicit corporate and foundation contributions toward the current operating budgets of the four colleges. A modest office has been set up in Baltimore under the direction of Mr. Burton M. Parks as executive director. This follows the pattern of combined fund-raising already being carried on successfully in more than twenty states. It has the active cooperation and encouragement of important segments of business and industry in the United States, including the National Association of Manufacturers. I am hopeful that other colleges in Maryland will ultimately participate in this venture and that it will yield increasingly substantial funds toward current operations. A commitment of $2,500 annually over a five-year period from the Houston Endowment, Inc., of Houston, Texas, to establish the Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones Scholarships; An annual commitment of $1,300 under the will of the late Dr. Charles C . Cook, of Baltimore, to establish the Dr. Charles C . Cook Scholarship; A radio phonograph from Mr. Alexander Sachs, of New York City, for use in the College's music program, and also a blue and white Ming Dynasty vase; A color harmony manual from Mr. Walter P. Paepcke, of Chicago. In June the Mutual Security Agency, now the Foreign Operations Administration, signed a contract with St. John's College to conduct its labor-trainee program on the campus for the coming year. By terms of the contract the College will provide an initial week of orientation for the small teams of foreign nationals, labor leaders, journalists, educators,. and the like, being brought to this country by the government agency. Although teams will be housed off-campus, I anticipate that our students and faculty will benefit from conversations and contacts with members of the various groups. The immediacy of European problems of which the foreign nationals will be so aware may provide an interesting invasion of our world of ideas in the classroom. On the other hand, I am sure that the discovery by these men and women of our concern with the liberal arts and matters of the spirit and intellect will prove an excellent antidote to any subsequent exposure to the more materialistic side of American life. In each case of a gift for scholarship endowment, the principal was doubled through a matching sum from the Old Dominion Foundation. Association of Independent Colleges in Maryland Labor-Trainee Program Self-Study Program To complete the financial picture, I wish to announce the formation and incorporation of the Association of Independent Colleges in Maryland, a joint venture, initially of Hood . College, Washington College, Western Maryland College, Last autumn St. John's College initiated a project of study and evaluation of its fifteen-year-old program. Responsibility for the study was assigned to the Instruction Committee of • 12 • • 13 • I �11 1 ! II the Faculty, and a full-time executive director appointed to administer the project upon its behalf. Subsequently, the Fund for the Advancement of Education underwrote the cost of the project by including St. John's among the first colleges to be awarded self-study grants. It has been our plan to appraise the curriculum and the College in the light of the experience of the younger alumni, who are at once the best informed and therefore probably the best qualified critics. A questionnaire was compiled and forwarded to all alumni of the present program, whether graduates or not. One out of three responded, and the answers were tabulated and abstracted for a preliminary printed report sent out to the entire group this spring. This report was then used as a basis for discussion with alumni in seminars during April and May. These seminars were held in Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with the Director and usually one other officer of the College participating. A report on the St. John's study will be submitted to the Faculty for its consideration early this fall. These findings will then be discussed by the Faculty and Instruction Committee with invited educators at a conference to be convened on the campus from October 21 through 24. The study will then be revised as necessary and the entire report printed in book form for distribution to the general public. The Director states that neither the questionnaires nor the seminars have disclosed any startling or unsuspected weaknesses in the program. Most of the chief questions posed by the alumni have been the concern of the College for some time. On the other hand, he thinks it fair to say that the evidence thus accumulated has served to emphasize certain problems, particularly the need for discovering more satisfactory solutions to the situation in the laboratory and the language tutorial. Alumni criticisms and opinions also revealed certain misconceptions and misunderstandings about the program and its implications which must be dealt with squarely by the College. I look forward to the conference and the completion of the study project with great expectations. There may well be promising suggestions as to ways in which the St. John's Program can be made more effective. In any event _it will furnish clear indication of points of strength and pomts of weakness, so that these in turn may become matters of direct faculty concern. Beyond that, I am convinced that the study will reveal a job of liberal education well done. • 14 • • 15 • It has already demonstrated to our alumni the College's concern that they share in the ongoing intellectual life of this community of learning. The College has always taught that learning continues throughout a man's life. It now has a challenging opportunity to prove the efficacy_of its teaching by making its alumni continuing partners m the educ~­ tional venture that is St. John's-through the self-study project, through the student recruitment program, throug~ ad_ult education seminars, and finally through a College publication which will become a more effective medium for the exchange of ideas and opinions. It is my hope that the self-study project will provide impetus in these many directions. RICHARD President Annapolis, Maryland August 31, 1953 D. WEIGLE �ST.

The type of education for which St. John's stands is expensive and it is impossible to establish student fees commensurate with the overall cost. The gap between income and expenses exceeds $150,000, which the College is in process of providing for -through a substantial permanent endowment. ~rts All plaririing for the future has been based upon the conviction that the College enrollment should not exceed 300 students. To provide an adequate physical plant for this student body, new buildings will be required as well as renovations to existing structures. The College invites gifts and bequests to its current budget, its building program, and its permanent endowment funds . Inquiries may be addressed to the President or the Treasurer. Bequests may be made in a form similar to the following: "I hereby give and bequeath to the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in the State of Maryland, an educational corporation existing by Charter of the General Assembly of the State of Maryland and situated in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, in said State, the sum of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . dollars." If bequests are made for specific purposes, such can be fully stated. Attention is invited to the fact that Federal and State income tax deductions resulting from such gifts may mean a cost to the donor of only a fraction of the value of the gift to the College. • 20 • �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The College Physician maintains office hours each day at the Infirmary. During these hours his services are available without charge, since a medical fee covering this service is paid by all students. III. SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS Advisers. Each new student is assigned to a member of the faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should c.all upon his Adviser freely for a.ss.istance at any time. In: assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student shoulci g-ive as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then as- 1.· 43 Deans. In addition to the Advisers there are four class Deans who aSct .as ooCunsellors to the· Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and enrnr lasses, res.pectively. These Deans carry out the O'eneral regulations of the College, and ac.t, jointly, as an Advi:ory Council to the President. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to re(J'ister at fixed t~mes. The registration clay for the first half-yea: is indicated m the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a re~s­ tration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is0 an early registra.tion 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 Stud:v Oard, approved and signed by the Adviser, mus.t be returned to the ?:ffice1 and filed be.fore 4 P. M. on the day of registration. . Durmg May each student is required to fill out not only a hs.t 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 a.s well as an Early Registratitm card should be filed by all students who have not previously filed one. . Late registration, unless excused by the student's Dean, may mvolve the payment of $5.00. Failure to file a. Study Oard on time, whern there is no valid excuse, will involve the payment of a charge of $2.00. Change o·f Program. During :the first two weeks in either half-year students may d1:op or add courses with the permission of the Registrar and with the approval of the Adviser. After this two~week period the student will be required to pay a charge of $2.00 if any change is made. �44 BULLETIN OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE ANNOUNCEMENT OF COURSES After N ove:mber 1, no course may be dropped until midyears, and 'after M a,rch 1 no further change may be made. Tuition will be charged for courses abandoned after these da.tes -tuition at the half-course rate for all half-courses and for full courses abandoned after November 1, and tuition at the fullcours.e rate for full courses abandoned after M a.rch 1. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. . T~ the Sop~omore Class: A student must have vassed. in at least foui courses, .m two of which his grades must be a or higher. To the. Jumor Olass: A student must have passed in at least nille courses, 111 five of which his grades must be a or higher. ~o the Senior Class: A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in ~even of which his grades must be a or higher. (The consequences of failing to satisfy vromotion requirements arc described under "Probation".) ' Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September 1931, are as follows : ' To the Sophomore Class : Four Courses (in addition to Physical Trainin"') To the Junior Class : "' . Nine Courses (in addition' to t wo years of Physical Training). T·o the Senior Class : Thirteen Courses. Courses Required of Freshman. The cours.e in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his .case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and for physical training. The student's o·ther courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all nerw students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English 1, will be required to register for an addttional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the encl of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. Physical Training Requirements. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These should be completed during the first two years of college work. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses needed for promotion to ·the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from his Dean. Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering College for the first time in September, 1931, or thereafter, the requirements for promotion are as follows: 45 Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of his Dean. In 110 case may more. than six courses be taken .

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

Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may brino· about the removal of any man's name from the Deans' Lis; Any ma~ on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because ~f Unsatisfactory Scholarship. . A student wh<? fails to make at mid-years a record which if it were fi~al, would entitle him to promotion, may be pla~ed ·~n probation and warned by his Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be clos.ed. A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November .ho1~r-examinations ordinarily is warned by his Dean. Howe~er, ~f his record is exceedingly low, he may b~ placed on probat10n m November. · ~ stude:1t wh~ at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lowe class and placed on probation. r 'I Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements Any stud~nt ~ho has been dropped to the next lo;er class because o.f his ~ailure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who durmg his second year in the same class again fails to i,, 1 cl i ! i �1 1 1 I l I~ 48 BULLETIN OF S'l'.

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

Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree "with honor" or "cum honore" are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time bef()re the end of the Junior year, make application to his Dean for acceptance as a c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or ~urmg one of them, accomplish special work in his major subJect, the type and amount, of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. d.

JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establish~ ment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract : . CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. :l. fol. 115. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors and generous Offers for the Propagation of Christianity and good Learning, herein we become humble Suitors to your most sacred Majesty, to extend your Royal Grace and Favour to us your Majesty's Subjects of this Province, represented in this your Majesty's General Assembly thereof, THAT IT MAY BE ENACTED, II. AND MAY IT BE ENACTED, by the King's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the same, That for the propagation of the gospel, and the education of the youth of this province in good letters and manners, that a certain place or places, for a free-school, or place of study of Latin, Greek, writing, and the like, consisting of one master, one usher, and one writing-master, or scribe, to a school, and one hundred scholars, more or less, according to the ability of the said freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend · father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of all England, may be chancellor of the said school ; and· that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it may be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominated, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July I-9, I696: CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. WHEREAS, Institutions for 'the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States: II. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary honors of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend ; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religious profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the " Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE President Washington visited the College in 1791. After hi& visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. · The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard toward myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VV'ASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. .I He gave further evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a member of the class of 1799· In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among the petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17¢, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in l8II. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis,"· writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery, and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will :ender him useful and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the ' greatest chance of professional improvement." . During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he r~organi.zed th~ College to ~eet changed conditions. The years smce his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administrat~on of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now Presi~ent Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service the Coll_ege. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Ementus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; Willia~ Rafferty, 1824-1831 · Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-~861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling, 1867-1870; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1929; and Douglas Huntly Gordon, 1931-1934. :o �22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, the colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped in Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in l9II to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. College Buildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, where, in 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, prints, photographs, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation in 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room; lounge, in which the daily papers and selected magazines are provided; the quiet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table, and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the necessities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College Avenue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Woodward Hall, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses approximately thirty-two thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Benjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are two hospital wards, an isolation ward and a dispensary, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on St. John's Street. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 19rn, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on the College Green, Pinkney Hall ( 1855) and Randall Hall ( 1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. 24 The Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to King 25 Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require the bachelor's degree for admission. They expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special requirements. Engineering. The advisers of students intending to study engineering will plan programs of study covering the groundwork which leads to all branches of the profession. As many non-technical courses as possible will be recommended, for leading engineers consider that it is unwise to work entirely in subjects of a professional character until general study has so broadened a student's �26 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE views that he has an outlook valuable in itself as well as in assisting him to make a thoughtful choice of his precise field of technical work. Law. Students who are planning to study law are advised to diversify their studies as much as possible. It has been said by a prominent educator, that no law student can afford to ignore economics, government, psychology, the methods of the natural sciences, or English and American history. Courses in history and government are recommended as especially helpful. A thorough training in the expression of ideas in the English language is considered to be indispensable. The connection between other courses in the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and particular branches of the law will be pointed out to students oy their Advisers. Business Administration. Students preparing to enter business, with or without training at graduate schools of business administration, should take work in the field of economics. Courses in economics will be of aid in the years of business apprenticeship, and should help to create that broad point of view expected of the business executive. Church Attendance. The College encourages, but does not compel, attendance at church. There are six churches and one synagogue in Annapolis, all of which invite attendance by students. The churches and their respective pastors are as follows: St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal, the Rev. Dr. Edward D. Johnson; Calvary Methodist Episcopal, the Rev. E. Cranston Riggin; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. Roger I. Berghauser; Fii-st Presbyterian, the Rev. Dr. James J. Coale; St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran, the Rev. Harry G. Yaggi; St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist Fathers), the Rev. Francis Gallagher, C.SS.R. ; Kenesth Israel Synagogue, Rabbi Morris E. Gordon. Chapel services are conducted in the Great Hall of the College on Tuesday of each week. Lectures and Concerts. A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually in McDowell Hall. Although CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 27 they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1935-36 included Sir Herbert Ames on " The League of Nations and the Abyssinian Dispute " and Antonio Cuturi Italian Consul in Baltimore, on " Historical Aspects of the Italo-Ethiopian Question." Lectures given under the auspices of the various departmental and student clubs were also open to all members of the College. A piano recital was presented by Austin Conradi; George and Elizabeth Bolek gave a joint voice and piano recital. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund of the St. John's Faculty, inaugurating a series of Sunday evening musicales, presented a piano recital. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, Faculty, Faculty wives and friends of the College find a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1935-36, six lectures were giventwo by members of the St. John's College Faculty, and four by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Dr. F. W. Appel, Associate Professor of Biology, St. John's College, "The Rise and Fall of Population"; Dr. Kent Roberts Greenfield, Professor of Modern European History, Johns Hopkins University, "Italy in Browning"; Dr. Joseph T. Singewald, Professor of Geology, Johns Hopkins University, "From Cape Town to Cairo" (illustrated) ; Dr. Katherine Jeanne Gallagher, Professor of History, Goucher College, " Some Recent Phases of International Politics " ; Mr. C. R. Walther Thomas, United States Naval Academy, " National Socialism in Germany"; Dr. Ford K. Brown, Professor of English, St. John's College, "Paradise Lost". �l 28 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Student Activities. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. Student Council. In matters not related to the curriculum the College grants the students a large measure of self-government. All questions arising under this arrangement are referred to the Student Council. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1936-37 are: Ernest Neal Cory, Jr., '37, President; James Harrison Rowe, '38, Secretary. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedules are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book, The. RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control. Fraternities. There are at St. John's five national fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha (Southern), Alpha Kappa Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Phi Alpha. From one-third to one-half of the students are fraternity men. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 29 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; 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 French Club provide interesting programs for their members. Dramatics. The King William Players is a dramatic group which is managed by the students. For the last few years its productions have been directed by Professor Ford K. Brown, head of the Department of English. The Players welcome to their organization anyone who is interested in dramatics. During the year 1935-36 they presented the following plays: The Bishop Misbehaves by Frederick Jackson, and The Circle by Somerset Maugham. Musical Organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Adolph Torovsky, formerly a leader of the Naval Academy band, the students maintain a concert orchestra and a band. Three concerts are given each year by the orchestra.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Further, he must satisfy the requirements of his major department and secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). a written examination to be given each semester by a special committee, or by passing with a grade of C or better any advanced language course.* In addition to the language requirement prescribed for the degree, some major departments have language requirem~nts. Since the student does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. 56 Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3· Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any student who is guilty of any dishonesty will be required tn withdraw from the College. The Student Council cooperates with the Dean of the College in enforcing the .honor regulations. The Student Council has power, accordingly, to take disciplinary action in any case of misconduct by any student. Any student who is unable to cooperate with the Student Council may be required to withdraw from the College. II. RESIDENCE REGULATIONS All students not living with parents or guardians are required to live in College buildings and to take their meals in the College dining hall. Occupancy of Rooms. Rooms in the halls of residence may not be occupied before noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College except in the case of men who are returning to College early with the permission of the President. Rooms in the halls of residence may not be occupied during the Christmas or the Easter recess. Assignment of Rooms. Before May first of each year the student may, if he wi~hes, indicate his desire concerning his rooming arrangement for the next year. For this purpose application blanks will be distributed by the Auditor's Office. Men who wish to room together must file their applications concurrently. Assignments are usually announced before May fifteenth. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Change of Rooms. No student living in the dormitories may change his room except with the approval of the room-assignment officer. Infirmary Service. Any illness must be reported to the Infirmary promptly by the student. Students suffering from contagious or infectious diseases must reside in the Infirmary until discharged by the College Physician, or until sent home. The College Physician maintains office hours each day at the Infirmary. During these hours his services are available without charge, since a medical fee covering this service is paid by all students. 48 College Rules for Dormitories. r. No radios, victrolas, or other instruments may be played, nor may any loud noise be made, in the College dormitories after 7: 00 p. m. (Saturdays, 11: 30 p. m.). Band instruments may be played in the dormitories only between 2 : oo p. m. and the time when supper is served in the College dining room. 2. Intentional damage to College property is a serious offense against discipline, and is forbidden. 3. Any damage to College property will be charged to the occupant or occupants of the room, or to the occupants of the hall, in which the damage occurs, or to any person or persons whom the dormitory committee or the Student Council shall determine to have been responsible therefor. 4. The Student Council shall directly and through the dormitory committees enforce the above rules by disciplinary action taken at executive meetings to be attended only by those summoned by the Council. Such action shall be announced concurrently by the Student Council and by the College Office. 5. Any student who has been the object of such disciplinary action may appeal to the Dean for a change in the action taken. The College reserves the right to repair completely, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room, if any tacks have been driven into the walls, or. if any matter has been pasted upon the walls, or if the walls are damaged in any other way. Dining Hall. · The dining hall may be closed at any time when College is not in session, except for a holiday of only one day. Only breakfast and luncheon will be served on the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving recess and only supper on the Sunday preceding the resumption of classes after Thanksgiving. Only breakfast will be served on the morning of the first day of the Christmas recess, and only supper will be served on the day just preceding the resumption of classes. A similar schedule will be maintained before and after the Easter' recess. 49 III. SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS Advisers. Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and .who enforces the general regulations of the College. Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register· at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �so CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses rieeded for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students rnay drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, no course may be dropped after March r. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the .requirements for promotion are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises 1s required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These. should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. �52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Excused Absences. Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under " Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full cour~es, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent ; B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory;, F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the · first six weeks of the folfowing academic year. Reports. Reports are sent to each student, to his parents, ·and to his Adviser after each grade period; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. The Rank List. After the mid-year examinations and after the final examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Rank List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except tho_se men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses). Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the rem~val of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion, may'be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �CATALOGUE 9F ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. 1 A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. 54 Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactorv record is then achieved. 55 Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior ye~r, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Students who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE A student entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, must pass seventeen (17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least eleven ( 11) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the foreign language requirement and the requirements of his major department. He must also secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). �si CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

Further, he must satisfy the requirements of his major department and secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). a written examination to be given each semester by a special committee, or by passing with a grade of C or better any advanced language course.* In addition to the language requirement prescribed for the degree, some major departments have language requirem~nts. Since the student does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. 56 Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3· Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This heritage, however, can wither away. It is necessary, then, and on more than one occasion to go back to its sources and to reflect on what they have to say." St. John's Catalogue ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Bulletin Published Quarterly Annapolis, Maryland Volume XIII Number 2 April, 1961 Entered as Second-class matter, February 18, 1949 at the Post Office, at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912 �Founding St. John's College is a small liberal arts college, founded originally as King William's School in 1696 in Annapolis, Maryland. It is the third oldest college in the United States, is non-denominational and maintains no graduate or professional schools. Since 1951 it has been coeducational. Recognizing that current and future enrollment demands on higher education make it the plain duty of every college to prepare for the greatest number of applicants it can accept without altering the quality of its educational program, the President and the Board of Visitors of St. John's College are expanding in a unique way. Maintaining its highly desirable small enrollment on its Annapolis campus, St. John's is establishing a second college of limited enrollment in Santa Fe, New Mexico. �Education is the leading out of men from their natural state into the world of inherited customs, intellectual traditions, and spiritual ties. Institutions of learning are set up for this purpose. Beyond this they should also seek to develop the moral and intellectual powers of men to enable them to fulfill best their freely chosen tasks and thus to take their own responsible part in shaping the future. St. John's College is a community of learning committed to hold constantly in sight this universal end and the means conducive to it. St. John's College strives to illuminate the common heritage of mankind in a persisting study of the great documents in which that heritage can be found. It seeks the unity of knowledge, and understanding of the great issues faced by men, and the moral foundations on which the conduct of men's lives can be based. �For more than two thousand years, up to the beginning of the 19th century, the liberal arts were the backbone of all formal education. The interpretation and the content of these arts, their number and mutual relationship, changed with the ages. But whatever guises they assumed, they were always meant, and are still meant, to have one primary function: with them and through them men can learn how to go about the business of understanding. The liberal arts enable men to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world. A genuinely concerned liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at this most far-reaching of all human goals. But the attempt to recover the true meaning of the liberal arts also involves a new approach to the vast tradition of Western thought as embodied in the great documents, the great books, of that tradition. For this tradition is built on the practice of the liberal arts. To scrutinize the sources of these goals and this tradition means to revitalize the liberal arts themselves. The St. John's Program has selected a number of books, the signposts on the various roads of our tradition, and has organized a comprehensive curriculum around them. It considers the authors of these great books the real teachers in the curriculum. Through direct contact with the great minds of Western civilization and through rigorous exercises in language, mathematics and the sciences, St. John's College seeks to develop free and rational men. The books that serve as the core of the curriculum were chosen first at Columbia University, the University of Chicago and the University of Virginia. Since 1937, St. John's College has worked with a gradually evolving list, each book criticized and tested in actual teaching and learning. This process continues under the direction of the Instruction Committee of the Faculty. The four-year course of study seeks to attain its educational goal by a variety of instructional devices interesting the student and appealing to his mind through discussion, translation, demonstration and experimentation. �Goal The establishment of St. John's College in Santa Fe is an exciting undertaking educationally. It is also a tremendous one financially. It will be necessary to enlist wide support in order to insure the success of this pioneering venture in higher education. Dr. Richard D. Weigle, President of St. John's College, has cited "active interest on the part of the community" as one of the "most significant factors" in the choice of Santa Fe for an affiliate college of the highly respected eastern institution. We must now give tangible proof of this "active interest." Though we cannot prescribe the amount of anyone's good will, we can reach our goal only if those concerned give serious consideration to the gift they may wish to make. Your good judgment will determine the amount of your gift. We enclose a pledge card for your convenience. �"Our education effort has not yet been raised to the plateau of the age we live in. We have learned that we are quite rich enough to defend ourselves whatever the cost. We must now learn that we are quite rich enough to educate ourselves as we need to be educated."

These elements determine the dimensions and the spirit of a college. In a series of pamphlets, St. John's College will discuss these principal elements. This one deals with the most significant and certainly the liveliest of them, the student body. The college must be small enough and coherent enough to be in a vital and dominating sense a community which will bind together all. its teachers and all its students in the .car1·ying on of their common enterprise. Alexander Meiklejohn. ��curriculum The St. John's curriculum is based on the continuous study of the great books and significant documents that form the foundation of the philosophic, literary, and scientific tradition of our civilization. This work is supported by a four-year required course of study in mathematics (which includes astronomy and theoretical physics) through elementary calculus. It is also supported by a four-year course in language in which the grammar and syntax of Greek, English, German, and French are studied carefully and in which the student learns how to translate and interpret a given text. Each student is, furthermore, required to work through a four-year laboratory course in which he performs crucial experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. In the freshman and sophomore years a music tutorial instructs the student in the elements of music. The curriculum is supplemented by Formal Lectures, given once a week, on subjects related to the program. The faculty is not departmentalized; there are no 6majors'. I i :I ' ii �St. John's College receives inquiries from prospective students all over the world. Out of the flow of applications it receives, the Admissions Office selects its limited number of freshmen. This selection is not confined to the most hrilliant. The College admits the first 110 applicants who evidence the rnaturity, intelligence and selfdiscipline needed for St.John's all-required fouryear program in the liberal arts. If one index to the quality of the College is the list of those who elect it as their choice for the single most important experience of their lives, who, then, are the incoming freshmen? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The satisfactory completion of the all-required, four-year course of study; The passing of a reading knowledge examination in two foreign languages; The passing of the Oral Enabling Examination; A senior thesis in which the skills acquired in the use of the liberal arts are demonstrated; The successful defending of the thesis in an oral examination. ��rounds: The freshman class of 1961 entered St. John's on the 261st anniversary of its founding. For contrast in growth one may compare the composition of the Class of 1942 with that of the Class of 1961: STUDENTS enter St. John's only as freshmen; no one may be admitted touppercfass standing. Class of 1942 :46 Members California Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Maryland New Jersey New York Pennsylvania Virginia 1 2 1 2 29 2 2 2 5 Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Illinois Kentucky Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Missouri New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin Germany Hungary India Japan Thailand From 9 states to 23 states and 5 foreign countries measures St. John's growth. 2 1 3 1 3 1 30 3 3 1 1 5 1 13 3 Only a common· beginning will meet the need for continuous study of the all-required four-year curriculum in the disciplines and traditions of the liberal arts. Nearly all of the 107 members of the class of 1961 entered St. John's in the usualway as regu·1arly graduateg seniors from high schools or preparatory schools of the United States. All gave evidence of being able and willing to complete the required curriculum satisfactorily. 13 2 2 1 2 There are eight .veterans in the class of 1961. One analyzes his case in this tersely cogent statement: ''I will be twenty,;.five by September. It would be foolhardy on my part if l did not realize the difficult task before me; it would be more so if I did not do it." �- - \1 NOWADAYS the business of choosing a college is the business of the whole family. This is quite true of the St. John's applicants, as it should be. The kind of family, then, that selects St. John's is, in a significant way, another index to the quality of the College. Fifty-six per cent ( 60) of these families are the families of professional people; forty-four per cent ( 47) are families of business men or industrial workers. One-quarter (14) of the professional group are members of college or school faculties, including the president of a university, the dean of another, and six professors in colleges or universities. It is one thing to be selected by experienced educators; it is another thing and even more significant that highly skilled specialists-as well as their academic brothers-believe that the disciplines and the traditions of the liberal arts provide the best preparation for an interesting and a successful career. These specialists, it seems, consider undergraduate specialization premature, and therefore recommend this four-year liberal arts College for their sons and daughters. Forty-five members of the Class of 1961, or about forty-two per centJ are receiving financial aid, either through scholarships or grants. Of these, thirty-three are receiving $500 or more per year. Eleven are on full scholarships of $1,750. One-third (18) of these professional men and women are scientists, engineers, doctors of rnedicine or surgeons. Scholarships and grants total $45,011, which is about twenty-five per cent of the possible tuition income from this class. Among the twenty-odd categories in the business and industrial group only one is large enough to identify: Ten skilled mechanics sent their sons and daughters to St. John's. St. John's carries this loss in operating revenue so that no student able and willing to benefit from this liberal arts program shall be denied the opportunity. fi I I I �From the Class of 1961. "St. John's seems to pull the student into his education as an active participant, not to leave him a passive recipient of a professor's knowledge.'' "I never felt college was meant to be a vocational school on a higher level. Other colleges seem to place much stress on majors and specialization, and real learning. must surely be lost in the shuffle." "The St. John's program for education vs. training is my main interest in the college." "I don't want to be mill-processed or ground out with the essential me neglected." "This atmosphere seems to encourage intellectual curiosity." "I found I was very much in sympathy with the ideas, the methods of teaching, the small classes, the student discussions, the complete independence, and the learning from sources." "I was, I admit, somewhat skeptical, it having been my observation that college catalogues and seed catalogues exhibit a very close resemblance.'' "For a foundation that will make my life itself a liberal education." "I came to think of St. John's not so much as an institution but as an atmosphere." "I find myself exe:rc1smg sloppiness in thought and :reading, and wish to study under a system which requires study to become a more responsible thinker." "St. John's is solid enough to offer a firm starting point, and yet flexible enough to offer individuality." "[My son] is as certain as ever of his decision to apply only to St. John's and we are encouraging him in the belief that it is the best thing for him, and cannot really do much harm to such an old established institution." �AS is normal, about one-half of the group are able to identify their major interests, but have not formulated definite plans beyond graduate school. Some will await the perspective of time. Of those who have definite commitments, ten are determined to become doctors of medicine or surgeons. (It is of interest to note that in three instances the fathers of these students are themselves doctors.) Fourteen more have selected the teaching profession. Their fields will include science, English, electronics and mathematics. It is significant that one-fifth of the class enteredSt.John's as freshmen even though they had satis}actory academic standing as sophomores or higher other col[eges. They thought the St. John's experience worth this sacrifice oftime. Eight will enter law schools after graduation; seven will take graduate work in some area of writing and communication; four will aim for scientific fields. [It is the distinctive merit of the four-year liberal.arts program that its graduates, who, in the process of development and study may have reconsidered their goals, will find themselves prepared for any career,] ��THE steady increase in the number of entering freshmen: From forty-six in the Class of 1942 to one hundred seven (capacity in 1957) in the Class of 1961; THE widening spread in the geographical distribution: Nine states represented in the Class of 1942 as against twenty-three states and five foreign countries in the Class of 1961; THE willingness of twenty upperclassmen in good academic standing in other colleges to accept freshman standing at St. John's; 'fHE high percentage of professional families represented: 60; THE number of these parents who are experienced educators ( 14) and the number who are highly skilled specialists, such as scientists and doctors ( 18), as well as the number of skilled mechanics ( 10) ; THE many freshmen who plan to become specialists and to attend graduate schools: 65. Medicine ( 10), Education ( 14), Law ( 8), English ( 7 J, Science ( 4 J, other areas (22 J • �National growth and international recognition indicate that St. John's, the third oldest ( 1696) college in the United States, has changed from regional to national status. The required program of the liberal arts: matheniatics, the physical sciences, the biological sciences, the sciences of language-grammar, rhetoric and logic-and the great works of literature, is acknowledged to be good, for specialist and non-specialist alike. ��For information: Mr. James M.

JOHN'S COLLEGE CHARTER AND POLITY OF THE COLLEGE ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO December, 1963 Founded as King William's School, 1696, Chartered as St. John's College, 1784 �History St. John's College was founded in 1696 as King William's School in accordance with a Petitionary Act for free-schools of the General Assembly of the Colony of Maryland. Following the Revolutionary War, the General Assembly of the new State of Maryland granted a Charter to St. John's College pursuant to and as a part of Chapter 37 of the Laws of Maryland of 1784. This Charter was subsequently amended by the General Assembly through Resolution No. 41 of 1832. The Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in 1950 revised the Charter to eliminate extraneous and obsolete matter and to make certain other amendments consistent with present requirements and conditions. It was the opinion of the Attorney General of Maryland that the original Charter of the College was subject to the general Corporation Laws of Maryland and might accordingly be amended by the Visitors and Governors, pursuant to these laws, without legislative action by the General Assembly. Subsequent amendments were made in 1961 and again in 1963. When the decision was reached to establish a second St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico,. amendments were made to the Charter to authorize branches or extensions of the College. The Charter was then filed with the Corporations Commission of the State of New Mexico as a foreign corporation. The College was thus empowered to grant degrees in New Mexico under the provisions of its Maryland Charter. Volume XV DECEMBER, 1963 Number 4 Published Quarterly Entered as Second-class matter, February 18, 1949, at the Post Office, at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912, The Polity of the College was first drafted by the Faculty and then adopted by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its regular meeting July 8, 1950, in Annapolis, Maryland. It was reviewed and amended by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its annual meetings May 14, 1955, and May 21, 1960, at its regular meetings February 22, 1961, December 9, 1961, and February 23, 1963, in Annapolis, Maryland; and at its regular meeting September 28, 1963, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. • l • �Charter of St. John's College 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 institu_tions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States; And whereas, it appears to this General Assembly that many public spirited individuals, from an earnest desire to promote t~e founding a college or seminary of learning on the Western Shore of this State have subscribed and procured subscriptions to a considerable amount, and there is reason to believe that very large additions will be obtained to the same throughout the different counties of the said Shore if they were made capable in law to receive and apply the same towards founding and carrying on a college or general seminary of learning with such salutary plan and with such legislative assistance and direction as the General Assembly might think fit, and this General Assembly, highly approving those generous exertions of individuals, are desirous to embrace the present favorable occasion of peace and prosperity for making lasting provision for the encouragement and advancement of all useful knowledge and literature through every part of this State; BE IT ENACTED: IV.
