SERIES S NUMBER 1

THE \irBCITE HOTJSE WASHINGTON

My dear Mr. Secretary:

I am pleased to know that despite the unusual burdens im- posed upon our people by the war they have maintained their schools and other agencies of education so nearly at their normal efficiency. That this should be continued throughout the war and that, in so far as the draft law will permit, there should be no falling off in attendance in elementary schools, high schools or colleges is a matter of the very greatest im- portance, affecting both our strength in war and our national welfare and efficiency when the war is over. So long as the war continues there will be constant need of very large num- bers of men and women of the highest and most thorough train- ing for war service in many lines. After the war there will be urgent need not only for trained leadership in all lines of indus- trial, commercial, social and civic life, but for a very high average of intelligence and preparation on tlie part of all the people. I would therefore urge that the people continue to give generous support to their schools of all grades and that the schools adjust themselves as wisely as possible to the new conditions to the end that no boy or girl shall have less oppor- tunity for education because of the war and that the Nation may be strengthened as it can only be through the right educa- tion of all its people.

Cordially and sincerely yours,

WOODROW WILSON Hon, Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior,

1918-19 Foundation and Purpose 23

WELLESLEY COLLEGE

Wellesley, Massachusetts

FOUNDATION AND PURPOSE

Wellesley College was established for the purpose of furnishing to young women who desire to obtain a liberal education such advantages and facihties as are enjoyed in institutions of the highest grade. The first building of the College, erected and equipped under the supervision and through the personal means of the founder, was opened to students in 1875, with the announced purpose ''of giving to young women opportunities for education equivalent to those usually provided in colleges for young men." Throughout his work the founder auned to put into visible form his ideal of the higher education for women, "the supreme develop- ment and unfolding of every power and faculty."

By the charter, granted by the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts, "the corporation of Wellesley College is authorized to grant such honorary testimonials, and confer such honors, degrees, and diplomas, as are granted or conferred by any University, College, or Seminary of learning in this Com- monwealth; and the diplomas so granted shall entitle the possessors to the immunities and privileges allowed, by usage or statute, to the possessors of like diplomas from any Uni- versity, College, or Seminary of learning in this Common- wealth."

In accordance with the spirit of the founder, the College is undenominational, but distmctively Christian in its influence, discipline, and instruction.

The members of the College meet daily for morning prayers in the beautiful chapel presented in 1899 by Miss Ehzabeth G. Houghton and Mr. Clement S. Houghton as a memorial to their father. Services on Sunday are conducted in this chapel by preachers of different denominations. At all these services and at vespers on Sunday, the smging is led by a trained choir of students under the direction of the professor of music.

24 Foundation and Purpose 1918-19

The Welles] ey College Christian Association, organized to foster religious life and interest in social reforms and in home and foreign missions, meets weekly for prayer and religious instruction.

The department of BibHcal History affords the systematic study of the Bible required of all students.

1918-19 Admission 25

ADMISSION

Applications for admission should be made upon forms which will be furnished by the Secretary to the Board of Admission on request. An application fee of ten dollars is required from all candidates for admission, and no application is recorded until this fee is received (see page 148). It is desirable that applications should be made several years in advance, since the date of appHcation is used as a basis in assigning rooms in College houses. Moreover, since the num- ber of new students admitted is lunited by the capacity of lecture rooms, it is necessary to close the appUcation list for any given year at a date which varies from year to year. Candi- dates are hable to find the appUcation list closed if they do not make then: appHcations more than a year in advance of the time at which they propose to enter.

ADMISSION TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS

Students are admitted by examination (see page 46) or by the New Plan (see pages 48 to 50).

Every candidate for a degree must offer for admission to the freshman class subjects amounting to fifteen "units." The units assigned to the subjects indicate the number of years, with five recitations a week, which will normally be required in the secondary school to make adequate prepara- tion.

A place on the list of candidates for admission will not be reserved for an appUcant whose credentials filed in July do not satisfactorily cover twelve of the fifteen units required for admission. The Board of Admission requires examination in September in all units not satisfactorily covered, and reserve the right to exclude any candidate whose preparation is in their judgment so defective as to debar her from carrying successfully the work of the freshman year.

26 Admission 1918-19

Of the fifteen "units" required for admission eleven are prescribed as follows: —

English 3 units*

History i unit

Latin 4 units

Mathematics 3 units

The remaining four units may be distributed in any one of the three foUowmg ways: —

1. 3 units in French or German or Greek

combined with

1 unit in one of the following subjects: —

Botany. Chemistry. Greek, t History. Music. Physics.

2. 2 units each in two of the following subjects: —

French. German. Greek. Spanish.

3. 2 units in French or German or Greek or Spanish

combined with

2 units made up of i unit each in two of the following

subjects: — Botany. Chemistry. Greek, t History. Music. Physics.

The admission subjects are divided into two groups, as follows: —

Preliminaries: French 3 unit requirement (except Prose Composition and the use of the spoken language), German 3 unit requirement (except Prose Composition and the use of the spoken language), Greek 3 unit requirement (except Prose Composition), History (prescribed unit), Latin (ex-

1918-19 Admission 27

cept Prose Composition), Plane Geometry. Examinations in Preliminaries may be taken at any time during the college preparatory course.

Finals: Algebra, Botany, Chemistry, English, French (2 unit requirement, the Prose Composition and the use of the spoken language of the 3 unit requirement), German (2 unit requirement, the Prose Composition and the use of the spoken language of the 3 unit requirement), Greek (i unit requirement, 2 unit requirement, the Prose Composition of the 3 unit requirement). History (second unit), Latui Prose Composition, Music, Physics, Spanish (2 unit requirement). Examinations in Finals may be taken at any time during the last two years before admission, provided at least three are taken during the last year. Candidates are advised to take English Composition and Algebra in the last year.

A candidate for admission must be at least sixteen years of age, and must present satisfactory evidence of good moral character and good health. A statement from the applicant's physician to the effect that she is organically sound and in good health, together with a certificate of vaccination must be filed with the Secretary to the Board of Admission before June first of the year in which admission is sought. Each candidate before she is formally accepted is given a thorough physical examination. The College reserves the right to reject any candidate if the results of this examination in the opinion of the medical staff justify such action or to accept the candidate only on the understanding that she will take five years to complete the course.

The student who has met all entrance requirements is qualified for immediate matriculation for the Baccalaureate degree in Arts. All communications concerning admission should be addressed to the Secretary to the Board of Admis- sion, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.

DEFINITION OF REQUIREMENTS

The number enclosed in parentheses following the subject indicates the number of units assigned to that subject; that is, the number of years with five recitations a week which will normally be required in the secondary school for adequate preparation in the subject.

28 Admission 1918-19

ENGLISH (3)

The study of English in school has two main objects: (i) command of correct and clear EngUsh, spoken and written; (2) ability to read with accuracy, intelligence, and apprecia- tion, and the development of the habit of reading good Htera- ture with enjoyment.

Qrammar and Composition.

The first object requires instruction in grammar and compo- sition. EngHsh grammar should ordinarily be reviewed in the secondary school; and correct spelling and grammatical accu- racy should be rigorously exacted in connection with all written work during the four years. The principles of EngHsh com- position governing punctuation, the use of words, sentences, and paragraphs should be thoroughly mastered; and practice in composition, oral as well as written, should extend throughout the secondary school period. Written exercises may well com- prise letter-writing, narration, description, and easy exposition and argument. It is advisable that subjects for this work be taken from the student's personal experience, general knowledge, and studies other than EngHsh, as well as from her reading in Hterature. Finally, special instruction in language and com- position should be accompanied by concerted effort of teachers in aU branches to cultivate in the student the habit of using good EngHsh in her recitations and various exercises, whether oral or written.

To meet the requirement in Composition, there should be practice in writing equivalent to weekly themes the first two years, and fortnightly themes the last two years of the preparatory course. Themes should be accompanied by simple outlines. The following books are suggested: Scott and Denney's Composition — Rhetoric; Neal's Thought Building in Composition; Robins and Perkins's Introduction to the Study of Rhetoric supplemented by Herrick and Damon's Compositio7i and Rhetoric; Shack- ford and Judson's Composition — Rhetoric — Literature.

Literature.

The second object is sought by means of the reading and study of a number of books, from which may be framed a pro- gressive course in literature covering four years. The student should be trained in reading aloud and be encouraged to commit to memory notable passages both in verse and in prose. As an aid to Hterary appreciation, she is further advised to acquaint herself with the most important facts in the lives of the authors whose works she reads and with

1918-19 Admission 29

their place in literary history. A few of these books should be read with special care, greater stress being laid upon form and style, the exact meaning of words and phrases, and the under- standing of allusions.

Examinations.

Two types of examination are now offered to candidates for admission: (i) the ordinary examination, divided into two parts; (2) the comprehensive examination covering both com- position and literature in one paper. Whichever type is taken, no paper will be considered satisfactory, however accurate in subject-matter, if seriously defective in punctuation, spelhng, or other essentials of good usage.

Ordinary Examinations.

1. Grammar and Composition

In grammar and composition, the candidate may be asked specific questions upon the practical essentials of these studies, such as the relation of the various parts of a sentence to one another, the construction of individual words in a sentence of reasonable difficulty, and those good usages of modern English which one should know in distinction from current errors.' The main test in composition will consist of one or more essays de- veloping a theme through several paragraphs; the subjects will be drawn from the books read, from the candidate's other studies, and from her personal knowledge and experience quite apart from reading. For this purpose the examiner will pro- vide several subjects, perhaps eight or ten, from which the candi- date may make her own selections. She will not be expected to write more than four hundred words per hour.

2. Literature

The examination in Hterature will include: —

A. General questions designed to test such a knowledge and appreciation of Hterature as may be gained by fulfilling the requirements defined under A , Reading, below. The candi- date will be required to submit a list of the books read in prep- aration for the examination, certified by the principal of the school in which she was prepared; but this Ust will not be made the basis of detailed questions.

B. A test on the books prescribed for study, which will consist of questions upon their content, form, and structure,

30 Admission 1918-19

and upon the meaning of such words, phrases, and allusions as may be necessary to an understanding of the works and an appreciation of their saUent qualities of style. General ques- tions may also be asked concerning the lives of the authors, their other works, and the periods of literary history to which they belong.

Comprehensive Examination.

The purpose of this examination will be to test the ability of the candidate to write clearly and correctly, and to show that she has read, understood, and appreciated a sufl&cient amount of English literature. Success in the examination will not neces- sarily depend upon a candidate's knowledge of technical points in grammar and rhetoric or of the subject-matter of particular books; the paper will contain some questions that cannot be answered except by candidates who are able to apply what they have learned to unexpected problems. From the following list of recommended reading, books should be chosen for use in preparing for this examination.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tions in English must be taken in accordance with the regulation for exami- nation in "Finals." See page 27.

A. Reading.

The aim of this course is to foster in the student the habit of intelligent reading and to develop a taste for good literature, by giving her a first- hand knowledge of some of its best specimens. She should read the books carefully, but her attention should not be so fixed upon details that she fails to appreciate the main purpose and charm of what she reads.

With a view to large freedom of choice, the books provided for reading are arranged in the following groups, from each of which at least two selec- tions are to be made, except as otherwise provided under Group I.

Texts for 1918 to 1922 and for Compreliensive Examinations

(2) English History, with due regard to social and political development.

(3) American History, with the elements of Civil Government. Candidates are advised to offer the course in Ancient History

as a part of their preparation.

34 Admission 1918-19

In the subject chosen, the student should acquire accurate knowledge of the history as presented in a standard text-book of not less than 300 pages, and should read such fuller authorities as may be available, in amount not less than 500 pages. Some practice in drawing maps to illustrate ter- ritorial changes, in makmg digests of lectures and reading, and in preparing verbal or written reports on subjects assigned for individual investigation is essential to successful work.

Elective Unit

A candidate may offer one of these three subjects as a second unit in History in place of the one unit requirement in Greek, Music, or Science, provided that one of the two units offered is Ancient History, and that the work for the second unit is done during the last two years of the preparatory course.

Except for students entering imder the " New Plan," the final examination in the second unit in History must be taken in accordance with the regu- lation for examination in "Fuials." See page 27.

MATHEMATICS (3)

Algebra. — Factors, Common Divisors and Multiples, Ratio and Proportion, Theory of Exponents including Iniaginaries, Radicals and Equations involvmg Radicals, Inequalities, Quad- ratic Equations (including the theory). Binomial Theorem, Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in Algebra must be taken in accordance with the regulation for exam- ination in "Finals." See page 27.

Plane Geometry. — As foimd in Chauvenet, or its equivalent.

Deficiency in preparation usually results from one or more of the following causes: the use of text-books which are too elementary, insuificient time spent in preparation, neglect of exercises in original demonstration in Geometry, and of reviews in both Algebra and Geometry. It is strongly urged that there be constant exercise in original demonstration in Geometry, with frequent written examinations in both Algebra and Geometry, the prob- lems proposed being drawn from other sources than the text-books.

LATIN (4)

Candidates should be familiar with the forms and syntax of the language and possess a vocabulary sufficient to trans- late Latin into idiomatic Enghsh and English into correct Latin. They should also be able to translate 'at sight Latin prose and poetry of moderate difficulty and to read Latin prose and verse according to the Roman method of pronunciation

1918-19 Admission 35

with strict attention to vowel quantities. To attain such pro- ficiency not less than five forty-minute periods a week for four years should be given to the study of Latin. The amount of prepared reading should not be less than four books of Csesar's GalHc War, seven Orations of Cicero (counting the Manilian Law as two) and six books of Vergil's ^Eneid. The reading may be selected from other works of the above authors or Nepos, Sallust and Ovid, but must include the pro Archia and two other Orations of Cicero and two books of the ^neid.

It is of special importance that practice in writing easy Latin at sight should be continued throughout the entire period of preparation in connection with the reading of the Latin au- thors. In the last year special attention should be given to translating continuous English into Latin both in the prepared and sight work.

Those who enter by the ordinary examinations of the Col- lege Entrance Examination Board will take 4, 5, and 6. The scope of the examinations will include:

(i) Translation at Sight. Candidates will be examined in translation at sight of both prose and verse.

(2) Prescribed Reading. Candidates will be examined upon the following prescribed reading: Cicero's Orations in behalf of the Manilian Law and of Archias and Vergil's ^neid I, II, and either IV or VI at the option of the candidate, with ques- tions on subject-matter, literary and historical allusions, and prosody.

(3) Grammar and Composition. Candidates will be ex- amined upon the equivalent of Latin 6 under the College En- trance Examination Board.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in Prose Composition must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.

Suggestions Concerning Preparation

Exercises in translation at sight should begin in school with the first lessons in which Latin sentences of any length occur, and should continue throughout the course with sufficient frequency to insure correct methods of work on the part of the student. From the outset particular attention should be given to developing the ability to take in the meaning of each word — and so, gradually, of the whole sentence — just as it stands; the sentence should be read and understood in the order of the original, with fuU appreciation of the force of each word as it comes, so far as this can be known or inferred from that which has preceded, and from the form and

36 Admission 1918-19

the position of the word itself. The habit of reading in this way should be encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all the translating that the student has to do. No translation, however, should be a mechani- cal metaphrase. Nor should it be a mere loose paraphrase. The full mean- ing of the passage to be translated, gathered in the way described above, should finally be expressed in clear and natural English.

A written examination cannot test the ear or tongue, but proper instruc- tion in any language will necessarily include the training of both. The school Vv^ork in Latin, therefore, should include much reading aloud, writing from dictation, and translation from the teacher's reading. Learning suit- able passages by heart is also very useful, and should be more practiced.

The work in composition should give the student a better understandmg of the Latin she is reading at the time, and greater facility in reading.

The teachers of Latin in the preparatory schools are urged to insist upon the use of good English in translation.

The study of Greek is strongly recommended to candidates who plan to elect courses in Latin in college.

Ability to read at sight easy French or German prose is of great advantage to all classical students.

3 Unit Requirement

(Termed "5, Intermediate," by the College Entrance Exam- ination Board.)

1918-19 Admission 39

THE AIM OF THE INSTRUCTION

At the end of the intermediate course the pupil should be able to read at sight ordinary French prose or simple poetry, to translate into French a connected passage of EngUsh based on the text read, and to answer questions involving a more thorough knowledge of syntax than is expected in the elemen- tary course.

This should comprise the reading of from 400 to 600 pages* of French of ordinary difficulty, a portion to be in the dramatic formj; constant practice in giving French paraphrases, ab- stracts or reproductions from memory of selected portions of the matter read; the study of a grammar of moderate com- pleteness; writing from dictation.!

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in the 3 unit requirement in French must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.

Suggestions Concerning Preparation for the 2 and 3 Unit Requirements

1. Emphasis should be laid on the correct daily use of the spoken lan- guage in the class room, on the correct and intelligent reading of French (apart from translation) and on direct composition, including the writing of short themes in French.

2. From the outset particular attention should be given to developing the ability to take in the meaning of each word — and so, gradually, of the whole sentence — just as it stands; the sentence should be read and under- stood in the order of the original, with full appreciation of the force of each word as it comes, so far as this can be known or inferred from that which has preceded, and from the form and the position of the word itself. The habit of reading in this way should be encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all the work that the student has to do.

3. It is particularly urged that the reading be chosen from nineteenth century writers of prose, verse, and drama, and if possible from more than five authors.

The texts suggested are: —

(i) For the 2 unit requirement: Laboulaye: Contes hleus; Daudet: Trois Contes Choisis; France: Aheille; Malot: Sans Famille; de la Brete: Mon Oncle et Mon Cure; Enault: Le Chien du Capitaine; Legouv6 et

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in the 2 unit requirement in German must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in ''Finals." See page 27.

3 Unit Requirement

(Termed "B, Intermediate," by the College Entrance Ex- amination Board.)

THE WORK TO BE DONE

The work should comprise in addition to the elementary course, t the reading of about 400 pages* of moderately difficult prose and poetry, wdth constant practice in giving, sometimes orally and sometimes in writing, paraphrases, abstracts, or reproductions from memory of selected portions of the matter read; also grammatical drill upon the less usual strong verbs, the use of articles, cases, auxiliaries of all kinds, tenses and modes (with special reference to the infinitive and subjunctive), and likewise upon word-order and w^ord-formation.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in the 3 unit requirement in German must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.

Suggestions Concerning Preparation for the 2 and 3 Unit Requirements

I. The books selected for class study should be thoroughly German in character and content. Intensive work on a comparatively small number of pages is preferred to a more superficial study of a larger number of pages.

For the 2 unit requirement the number of pages read in class should, in general, not exceed 300; but in no case should the amount be less than 225 pages. Not more than 100 of these pages should be taken from readers arranged especially for beginners.

For the 3 unit requirement not more than 600 pages in all (i. e., 300 in addition to the maximum amount for the 2 unit requirement) should, in

* See "Suggestions Concerning Preparation," on pages 41, 42. t That is, the 2 unit requirement.

42 Admission 1918-19

general, be read; but never less than 500 pages. Not more than one work of the classical period of German Literature should be included. Besides this intensive reading, some rapid home reading of easier texts (100 pages or more) is strongly urged.

2. The results desired can not be obtained if a considerable portion of the time is spent on translation from German into English, or vice versa.

3. Features that should not be neglected are: —

a. Vocabulary. — The careful study of a goodly number of common words and expressions drawn chiefly from the texts read.

h. Frequent practice in the oral and written use of the language w///jom^ the medium of English. This should consist partly in answering in German questions put in German, based on all the texts read intensively in class, partly in reproducing in German, without the aid of questions, the contents of these texts (Freie Reproduktion).

SPANISH (2)

The requirements follow the recommendations of the Modern Language Association embodied in Document No. 91 of the College Entrance Examination Board.

See page 43 for suggestions concerning preparation in the case of students expecting to enter Wellesley College.

THE AIM OF THE INSTRUCTION

At the end of the elementary course the pupil should be able to pronounce Spanish accurately, to read at sight easy Spanish prose, to put into Spanish simple EngUsh sentences taken from the language of everyday Hfe or based upon a portion of the Spanish text read, and to answer questions on the rudiments of the grammar, as indicated below.

THE WORK TO BE DONE

During the first year the work should comprise: (i) Careful drill in pronunciation.

(2) The rudiments of grammar, including the conjugation of the regular and the more common irregular verbs, the inflection of nouns, adjectives and pronouns and the elementary rules of syntax.

(3) Exercises containing illustrations of the principles of grammar.

(4) The careful reading and accurate rendering into good English of about too pages of easy prose and verse, with trans- lation into Spanish of easy variations of the sentences read.

1918-19 Admission 43

(5) Writing Spanish from dictation.

During the second year the work should comprise:

(i) The reading of about 200 pages of prose and verse.

(2) Practice in translating Spanish into EngUsh, and English variations of the text into Spanish.

(3) Continued study of the elements of grammar and syntax.

(4) Mastery of all but the rare irregular verb forms' and of the simpler uses of the modes and tenses.

(5) Writing Spanish from dictation.

(6) Memorizing of easy short poems.

The emphasis should be placed on careful, thorough work with much repetition rather than upon rapid reading.

Suggestions Concerning Preparation

1. Grammar. In addition to the verb drill, the following points should be emphasized: difference between ser and estar; use and position of pro- nouns; prepositions required with different verbs and adjectives; use of subjunctive and infinitive.

2. In reading, two ideas should be kept in mind: (a) accurate translation especially of idiomatic expressions: (&) a gradual development of the power to think in Spanish, by requiring the student to explain the meaning of words and phrases in Spanish and give variations of text also in Spanish.

3. From the beginning the student should gradually become accustomed to the use of the spoken language in the class room, training the ear by means of short talks on different subjects given by the teacher and the tongue by the different methods already suggested. Original work in composition should also be required.

The texts suggested are : —

A collection of easy short stories and lyrics carefully graded; Perez Escrich, Fortima; Ramos Carrion y Vital Aza, Zaragueta; Tres Comedias Modernas; Pedro de Alarcon, El Capitdn Veneno; Juan Valera, El pdjaro verde; Palacio Valdes, Jose; Jose Selgas, La mariposa blanca; Carolina Marcial Dorado, Espana Pintoresca; the selected short stories of Pedro de Alarcon or Antonio de Trueba.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan" the final examina- tion in Spanish must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.

BOTANY (1)

The requirement may be met in one of two ways. A. By the course outlined in the Report of the College En- trance Examination Board, Document No. 91. The course should cover: —

44 Admission 1918-19

(i) The general principles of plant anatomy, morphology, physiology, and ecology.

(2) A general knowledge of the great groups or phyla of plants.

In the second part of the course students should not only be- come famihar with the prim.ary subdivisions of the great groups, but should be able to trace the evolution of plant forms by means of a comparative study of representative plants in the various groups.

B. By covering the main features in the course as outlined in the Laboratory Guide for the Introductory Course in Welles- ley College. Copies of these Guides may be secured if desired through the ofl&ce of the Board of Admission of Wellesley College.

Individual laboratory work by the students is essential and should receive at least double the amount of time given to lec- ture and recitation. Records of the laboratory work, properly certified by the teacher, in which stress is laid upon diagram- matically accurate drawing and precise expressive description, must be presented on or before June fifteenth.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in Botany must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examina- tion in "Finals." See page 27.

CHEMISTRY (1)

The requirement is met by the course outlined in the Re- port of the College Entrance Examination Board, Document No. 91.

The student should perform experiments in the laboratory to illustrate the properties of the most important elements, both metallic and non-metallic, and their compounds, and it is strongly recommended that a few of these experiments should be of a quantitative nature. Work in qualitative analysis is not recommended.

When the student offers Chemistry as one of the four examinations under the "New Plan," she will be required to present notebooks of laboratory work. These notebooks must be indexed and bear the endorsement of the teacher, certifying that the notes are a true record of the student's work, and must be presented on or before June fifteenth.

Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in Chemistry must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.

1918-19 Admission 45

PHYSICS (1)

The requirement is met by the course outlined in the Re- port of the College Entrance Examination Board, Document No. 91. When the student offers Physics as one of the four examinations under the "New Plan," she will be required to present notebooks of laboratory work. These notebooks must be indexed and bear the endorsement of the teacher, certifying that the notes are a true record of the student's work, and they must be presented on or before June fifteenth.

Except for students enteriDg under the "New Plan," the final examina- tion in Physics must be taken in accordance with the regulation for exami- nation in "Finals." See page 27.

MUSIC (1)

The requirement in Music (Harmony) is met by Music B (Harmony) outlined in the Report of the College Entrance Examination Board, Document No. 91.

THE WORK TO BE DONE

Knowledge of the following chords is required, viz: —

All the triads in the major key.

All the triads in the minor key.

The inversions of all triads.

The dominant seventh chord and its inversions.

The diminished seventh chord and its inversions. Knowledge of all scales, major, minor (harmonic and melodic), and chromatic, with their proper notation.

Knowledge of the proper way of making a manuscript. (See "How to Write Music" by Harris, published by the H. W. Gray Co., New York.)

Knowledge of figured bass.

This will be demonstrated by adding Soprano, Alto, and Tenor to a given figured bass. Note.— Students who have never studied Figured Bass will be given an Unfigured Bass to harmonize.

Knowledge of harmonizing a melody.

This will be tested by harmonizing a given melody, adding Alto, Tenor, and Bass. Emphasis should be placed on the harmonization of melody. Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the examination in Music must be taken in accordance with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.

NEW PLAN OF ADMISSION FOR SEPTEMBER, 1919

Four women's colleges, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley, announce a new method of admission, to supersede the system of admission by certificate in 19 19. The method of admission by examination in all subjects will be continued as an alternative to the new plan. No change is made in the sub- jects required for admission, no addition nor diminution in the amount prescribed for admission is proposed. The new plan is similar to that adopted by Harvard, Princeton, and Yale in prescribing a test of the quality of the appHcant's scholar- ship and intellectual power.

The examinations required in this plan are of the type known as comprehensive examinations offered by the College Entrance Examination Board.

The new method depends on two kinds of evidence:

I. Evidence submitted by the school, consisting of

a. A school report covering the entire record of subjects and grades for four years.

b. A statement from the school principal including an esti- mate of the applicant's scholarly interests, special abiUty, and character.

1918-19 Admission 49

2. Evidence submitted by the candidate, consisting of Four comprehensive examinations, selected from each of the following groups:

(i) English or History, selected by the apphcant.

(2) A foreign language, selected by the applicant.

(3) Mathematics, or Chemistry, or Physics, selected by the apphcant.

(4) A fourth subject, designated by the apphcant from the subjects which may be offered for admission. This choice must be approved by the Committee on Admission of the respective colleges.

These four examinations must be taken at one time.

At least two examinations must cover more than two ad- mission units* each.

In each subject chosen the comprehensive examination covering all the units offered by her for admission must be taken by the applicant.

It is desirable that applicants furnish school records and state the subjects selected for examination before January fifteenth of the year in which the examinations are to be taken.

The Committee on Admission of the individual college must give its permission, based upon the evidence submitted by the school, before the applicant may take the examina- tions. It is proposed that the comprehensive examination set by the College Entrance Examination Board be judged by readers appointed by this Board, and forw^arded to the individual college for final decision by the college Committee on Admission.

Under the new plan the candidate, if admitted to college, will be admitted free from all conditions. Failure to meet completely the standard in both kinds of evidence required will not necessarily involve rejection of the applicant; the Committee may accept unusual excellence in one part of the credentials submitted as offsetting unsatisfactory evidence or even failure in another part. If the candidate fails of admission in June she will not be debarred from taking ex- aminations under the old system in September, but she may not take the comprehensive examinations for admission under the new plan before June of the following year.

• Note. — A unit as defined by the College Entrance Examination Board represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work.

50 Admission 1918-19

It is believed that this new type of admission combines the best elements of the certificate system and of the examina- tion system in that it requires the school record and estimate of character, and also demands examinations designed to test the candidate's intellectual power, not alone her memory of prescribed facts. Furthermore, the method offers the appli- cant the fullest opportunity to show her ability in subjects in which she beUeves herself best quaUfied.

This plan substitutes a uniform method of administration in place of the various certificate forms now used by the four colleges and gives the school entire freedom in the sequence of its work making no requirement of certain subjects in the last years.

Comprehensive examinations according to the new plan are given by the College Entrance Examination Board.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING

Candidates for advanced standing must fulfill the require- ments for admission to the freshman class, and must also be prepared to be examined in the required studies previously pursued by the class which they wish to join, and in a suffi- cient number of electives to give full standing with that class.

Such candidates, if they come from other colleges, may present certificates of college work, but should clearly under- stand that these do not necessarily exempt them from ex- aminations. The credentials required are an official statement of the admission and college records, a marked catalogue _ of the institution from which the candidate transfers indicating admission subjects and courses taken, and a letter of honorable dismissal. The marked catalogue with certain required sup- plementary information should be received by February first. The official record and letter of honorable dismissal are due not later than July first. Candidates for advanced standing whose credentials admit them to Jtmior or higher rank, will take precedence of candidates for the freshman class in the assign- ment of rooms.

All correspondence should be addressed to the College Recorder.

Candidates are referred to page 25 for the general state- ment as to the time at which applications should be made.

1918-19 Admission 51

ADMISSION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE M.A. DEGREE

Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts must be gradu- ates of Wellesley College or of other institutions of satisfac- tory standing, and must present adequate credentials as to their ability to carry on the work for the M.A. degree.

Applications for admission as graduate students should be made upon forms which will be furnished by the College Re- corder on request. It is desirable that the apphcation be sent by May first of the year in which the student proposes to enter. It should be accompanied by records of standing, and, if possible, by papers and reports of work.

A matriculation fee of five dollars is payable w^hen a student is accepted as a candidate for the Master's degree. The amount of this fee will be deducted from the diploma fee of twenty-five dollars payable when the degree is received.

Thirty scholarships, as described on page 152, are open to accepted candidates for the M.A. degree, not residing in col- lege buildings.*

Circulars containing full information for graduate students will be sent on appUcation to the College Recorder. For requirements for the M.A. degree see page 146.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS NOT CANDIDATES FOR A DEGREE

AppKcants who give satisfactory evidence of ability to pursue advanced courses of study may be admitted at the discretion of the Board of Admission, provided that they satisfy the requirements of the departments which they pro- pose to enter. It will be noted that opportunities of prose- cuting work along special lines are thus open to persons of experience and success in teaching who possess the requisite qualifications for admission to college classes.

Apph cants of less maturity and acquirement are not ordi- narily admitted, but if such desire admission they must ex- pect to meet, by examination or by certificate from an ac- credited school, the requirements prescribed for admission to the freshman class, or a full equivalent for them and to satisfy such additional requirements as are prescribed by the

* With the present dormitory accommodations it is not ordinarily possible to reserve rooms on the campus for graduate students; if candidates secure places in college buildings they must pay the full charge for board and tuition.

departments which they propose to enter. Specific state- ments of these requirements in Music will be found on pages 126, 127; in Hygiene on page 106.

All courses, graduate as well as undergraduate, are open to special students, subject to the conditions stated by the various departments; but every such student is expected to choose a primary subject to which she should devote the greater part of her time. A student who creditably com- pletes a prescribed group of courses will be granted a certifi- cate.

As the capacity of halls of residence is not sufiicient for candidates for degrees, special students cannot be lodged in the college buildings. Comfortable homes may be found in the village at about the same expense as in college houses.

All correspondence should be addressed to the Secretary to the Board of Admission.

General Notes. — Practical work may be taken independently of the History of Art and will count toward the degree if one or more courses in the History of Art are taken before graduation. After one course in the History of Art has been completed, three hours of practical work as indicated in 5, 14, 16, above, equivalent to nine hours of practice, may count toward the degree; four and one-half hours of practical work, equivalent to thirteen and one- half hours of practice, may so count, if six hours in the History of Art have been completed.

Students in art courses are required to use laboratory methods, examining and comparing, sketching or describing the photographs used in illustration.

Previous preparation in drawing is not required.

N. B. Any student who desires to give yearly the time of one full course to studio work throughout her college course may do so by spending five years in college before taking her degree instead of four.

The art library is open to students from 8.00 to 5.30 daily, and from 7.15 to 9.15 on announced evenings.

Miss Hawes.

The aim of this course is to secure an acquaintance with many representative authors of the Roman Empire, and to show the in- terest and the value of the "Silver Latinity" and the writers of the later Imperial Period. The readings, which include both poetry and prose, and vary somewhat from year to year, will in- clude selections from VeUeius Paterculus, Seneca, Quintilian, Tacitus, Martial, Apuleius, Claudian, Boethius, and other authors. The course includes also a few lectures on various aspects of society in the time of the Empire.

Rapid reading without translation is one of the features of this course.

22t. History of Latin Poetry. III. (Not offered in 1918-1919.) Part I, Poetry of the Republic. Part II, Post-Augustan Poetry. Open to students who have completed three full courses. Three hours a week for a year.

Miss Hawes.

In Part I some study will be given to the beginnings of Latin poetry and the earher poets, but the main emphasis will be placed upon the poets of the Ciceronian Age, Catullus and Lucretius. Since the Augustan poets are studied in the grade II courses, that period will be considered only by way of review and comparison. In Part II the aim will be to secure an acquaintance with repre- sentative poets of different periods, and to show the interest and the value of the later Latin poetry.

Rapid reading without translation will be one of the features of this course.

12. Outline History of Latin Literature. III. (Not given in 1918-1919.)

Primarily for graduates. Open to qualified seniors by permission of the department.

Lectures and readings, with direction of the students' private reading.

The aim of this course is to give a general survey of the subject, tracing the beginnings and development of the various kinds of prose and poetry, and considering the changes in the pohtical and social conditions under which Latin literature developed.

II. Practical Music (Instrumental and Vocal Lessons)

[Attention is called to the fact that a good student need not necessarily spend five years in college in order to carry on practical music at the same time with the academic course. See (a) below.]

It is beUeved that students having a performing technique will be able to profit by the theoretical instruction given in the department to a fuller

1918-19 Music 127

degree than those without such a technique. To encourage students to acquire a technique, as well as to furnish authoritative instruction, the department undertakes to give lessons in pianoforte, organ, violin and violoncello playing, and in singing. Practical work is an elective, and stu- dents should notify the department of their election of the subject in the usual manner and at the proper time; with the exception of theory courses 2 and 3 and the applied music courses 9, 10, 11, 12, practical work does not count toward the B.A. degree. It is offered to all students, whether candidates for degrees or not, as stated below: —

(a) Candidates for the B.A. degree who propose to spend hut four years in college may take practical music, provided that they obtain each year the permission of the Dean of the College as well as of the Professor of Music; they must also take Musical Theory unless they have completed two two- hour or three-hour courses in the subject.

(&) Candidates for the B.A. degree who are willing to devote five years to the college course will be permitted to take practical music each year of the course. Freshmen may do so without taking Musical Theory, but all other students in the academic and musical course are governed by the restriction laid down in (a).

(c) Candidates for the B.A. degree who wish also the Certificate of the Department of Music should plan to devote five years to the college course. Such students are required to take practical music, two lessons a week, throughout the five years. They must complete, satisfactorily to the department, a course in the literature of the instrument chosen or of the voice; they must apply for the certificate at least three years in advance. After the first year the study of Musical Theory is required.

{d) Students not candidates for the B.A. degree who desire to specialize in music must meet the requirements prescribed for admission to the fresh- man class, and must in addition pass an entrance examination, particulars of which will be furnished on appHcation. Special students must take both Musical Theory and vocal or instrumental lessons, two a week, with not less than twelve hours of weekly practice. They must also take from six to nine hours per week of academic work, including Musical Theory, as may be decided in consultation with the Dean.

(e) Students not candidates for the B.A. degree who wish the Certifi- cate of the Department of Music must comply with the conditions laid down in {d); moreover, the academic work taken must include modern languages. Such students must apply for the certificate on entering the department, and must have already acquired the fundamental technique of the instru- ment chosen or of the voice. The time occupied in study for the certificate depends upon the talent, upon the proficiency of the student at entrance, and upon her subsequent diligence; but in general four years at least are necessary. The various courses are so arranged that the pupil on comple- tion will have an acquaintance with the best musical literature.

if) Graduates of Wellesley College or of other institutions may make special arrangement for instrumental or vocal lessons.

COLLEGE EXAMINATIONS

An examination period occurs at the end of each semester. At these periods, and also during the days of the admission examinations in September, examinations for the removal of conditions and deficiencies and for advanced standing may be taken.

A student who wishes to take an examination upon a course which is not a part of her approved schedule for the year, must apply to the Dean for the requisite card of admission to the examination. The last day for receiving appHcations for such cards is for the September examinations, September first; for the mid-year examinations, January first; for the June examinations, May fifteenth.

N. B. Examinations for the removal of conditions and deficiencies excepted, no student can be admitted to examination upon a course which is not a part of her approved schedule for the year without permission both from the Head of the Department concerned and the Dean of the College. No sttident, therefore, should enter upon preparation for such an examination until her plan has been approved by both of the above named officers.

1918-19 Fellowships and Scholarships 153

Scholarships in the Marine Biological Laboratory AT Wood's Hole*. — Wellesley College offers annually two scholarships for study at this laboratory. The laboratory is open to investigators for the whole year. During the sum- mer three courses in Zoology and two in Botany are offered to those needing instruction. Applicants desiring to take any of these courses must have completed a college course in the subject in which they wish to work.

Students in either Botany or Zoology who desire to undertake original work will receive suitable direction. In addition to these opportunities there are courses of lectures on special topics and on subjects of general biological interest. Applications for appointment should state the char- acter of the work to be done, — i.e.^ whether botanical or zoological, whether general work, investigation under direction, or independent investigation, — and should be forwarded to Professor Hubbard or Professor Ferguson in time to reach Wellesley College before April first.

Scholarships at the Zoological Station in Naples. — Wellesley College is a subscriber to the support of the Ameri- can Women's Table at the Zoological Station in Naples, and thus has a voice in the selection of the persons who make use of it. Such persons must be capable of independent investigation in Botany, Zoology, or Physiology. Appoint- ments are made for a longer or shorter period, as seems in each case expedient. Applications for the use of the table may be made through the President of the CoUege.

The department has an "Outdoor Laboratory" for the use of certain courses. The greenhouses contribute to all the courses in the department; but are of especial importance in connection with the work in landscape gardening; in plant physiology and ecology.

The native flora about Wellesley is easily accessible, furnish- ing a convenient field for both the taxonomist and ecologist. The hbrary ranks with the best botanical hbraries iii the coun- try and is well suppHed with reference works and with current periodicals.

CHEMISTRY

The department of Chemistry occupies a separate build- ing, which contains two lecture rooms and the chemical U- brary, in addition to the rooms fitted up for laboratory work. Separate rooms are provided for work in General and Organic Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, and Air, Water and Food Analysis. The building is conveniently arranged and well equipped with necessary apparatus and appUances.

162 Equipment 1918-19

During the summer of 1918, a large well-lighted room, with all-modern laboratory equipment, was added, for the use of the courses in Organic Chemistry.

GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY

The department of Geology and Geography has a large and well-equipped lecture hall provided with a Leitz epidia- scope for lantern slide and opaque projection. One end of this room has been equipped with desks for use as a geology laboratory, and another room is adequately furnished for a geography laboratory.

The Geology Museum contains a typical college collection of dynamical, structural, and historical geology specimens, — a systematic collection of minerals arranged according to Dana, and a systematic collection of rocks. There are three collections arranged for class-room use, — one each in miner- alogy, petrology and structural and historical geology. These collections are all the generous gifts of colleges, museums and friends. The department has two noteworthy collec- tions. The first is the Horace I. Johnson Mineral Collection, which consists of five thousand valuable and beautiful mineral specimens, including many precious metals and stones. This collection is the gift of Mr. John Merton of Calumet, Michigan, and was presented through the Class of 191 5 by the courtesy of Miss M. Helen Merton. The second is the Reverend David F. Pierce Collection, which includes a complete and rare collection of building and ornamental stones and many precious and semi-precious minerals. This collection is the gift of Professor Frederick E. Pierce of Yale, Miss Anna H. Pierce, and Miss Mary E. Pierce of the Class of 1898.

The maps of the department include wall maps of different countries and sections of countries; aU the United States Geologic Folios, and over six thousand topographic maps of the United States Geologic Survey, the gift of the Survey. Three thousand of these latter maps are arranged in groups to illustrate geographic types.

The department has fifteen hundred lantern slides which illustrate all phases of geology and geography.

MATHEMATICS

The fine collection of Mathematical Models w^as destroyed by fire in March, 19 14. At present there is only a small num- ber of models for use in the elementary work.

1918-19 Equipment 163

PHYSICS

The department of Physics occupies temporary quarters consisting of a conveniently arranged lecture room, fitted with [direct and alternating current and gas, laboratories for general physics, electricity, heat and light.

The equipment, destroyed by fire in March, 19 14, is being replaced as rapidly as war conditions permit. The lecture apparatus is sufficient to permit a wide range of experimental lectures. In the elementary laboratory duphcation of ap- paratus permits a close co-ordination between lectures and laboratory exercises. The advanced laboratory equipment is especially strong in electrical apparatus, and in optics in- cludes such instruments as the Reichsanstalt precision photo- meter, a Michelson interferometer, Societe Genevoise spectro- meter, a comparator designed by E. B. Frost, etc.

PSYCHOLOGY

The temporary quarters of the laboratory now include seven rooms, six in the north wing of the Administration Building and one in the basement of the Art Building. The equipment, entirely destroyed by fire in March, 19 14, is being replaced as fast as war conditions permit. Fair provision is made both for demonstration and for general experimental work.

ZOOLOGY

The department of Zoology is housed in a small temporary building consisting of four laboratories, three offices, a gen- eral work room and a museum room. The building is suppHed with water, heat, electricity and gas. The laboratories are equipped for present needs with microscopes, physiological apparatus, sHdes for histolog>' and embryology, Leuckart charts, and a collection of skeletons and alcohoUc specimens. All the courses except two are given in the new temporary building. The work in anatomy is conducted in the labora- tories in Mary Hemenway Hall.

The nucleus of a new museum is already formed through gifts of bird skins, insects, shells, and a collection of inverte- brates from the Zoological Station at Naples, and another from New England.

Honor Scholarships

1918-19

HONOR SCHOLARSHIPS

Honor Scholarships (without stipend) have been estab- lished by the College for the purpose of giving recognition to a high degree of excellence in academic work. These honors fall into two classes: students in the first, or higher class, are termed Durant Scholars; students in the second class are termed Wellesley College Scholars.

These honors are awarded to seniors on the basis of two and one-half years' work, to juniors on the basis of one and one-half years' work. The standard in each case is absolute, not competitive.
