EDUCATION AT
FRANCES SHIMER COLLEGE

ORGANIZATION AND AIMS

Frances Shimer College offers a curriculum of general education to
young wompn in grades 1 1 through 14, that is, the last two years of high
school and the first two years of college. Combining these four years into
one educational unit provides opportunity to offer a superior curriculum
of general education. Such a program does a more effective job of pre-
paring the student for enriched life activities, for effective citizenship and
for specialization in a university, than does the traditional curriculum
which necessitates a break at the end of the twelfth grade.

While the college does not minimize the vocational usefulness of any
knowledge or skill, it believes that specific vocational training should
be postponed until the student has been introduced to the various areas
of human knowledge and to the techniques that are used in the respec-
tive areas. This background of general information and skills will be
useful to students who wish to enter either vocational or professional
schools. Also, this general information will enrich the lives of those
students who will consider their formal education completed when they
leave Frances Shimer College.

The purpose of general education is to develop the dbihty to identify
basic vahies which guide the individual in mailing decisions and to culti-
vate concrete experiences which augment the meaning of those values.

The specific aims of education at Frances Shimer College can be
stated in terms of developing the qualities and skills inherent in the
general purpose:

L Enough knowledge about the nature of men and women
and their social relationships to discover the principles
which must order all human enterprises.

2. Sufficient information about the natural worid to know
how it can sustain and serve human life-

3. Understanding and appreciation of the achievements of
men as expressed in literature, art, music, philosophy and
religion.

4. Competence in the expression of thoughts and feelings
through use of the English language and through an
artistic medium,

5. Skill in analytical thinking and critical evaluation of con-
clusions.

EDVCATIOH AT FRAHCES SHIMER COLLEGE

6. Ability to think creatively, to put together ideas and
thoughts in new ways.

7. Ample health so as to be sensitive and responsive to one's
environment.

8. Purposeful planning of vocational and home life.

9. Positive and constructive participation in the democratic
ordering of group life through responsible support of con-
structive activities and by leadership in areas of competence.

10. Understanding of and commitment to the basic principles
of religious living as found in the Hebrew ^Christian tra-
dition.

Personal intej^^rity and active good-will toward all indi-
viduals.

Emotional maturity, poise and self-control.

From the foregoing statement of specific aims, it is apparent that
Frances Shimer College believes that the purpose of general education is
something more imporunt than a satisfactorily adjusted life or the acqui-
iition of knowledge. Life can be adjusted on very unworthy levels, and
facts arc tools to be used, not ends to be served.

The quality of life depends upon the ability of men and womert to
discover how the values are created which support life and give it
excellence. The most important and perplexing problems young women
face in their world are those of the identification of values and the fos-
tering of their growth. Conversely^ they must know how to recogniK
those practices and habits which destroy values or obstruct their growth.
If our young women cannot do this they and their world will perish

Values develop in the life of a young woman when she becomes
keenly aware of the thoughts and feelings of others and uses them to
enlarge her own understanding; when her knowledge of the world ex-
pands and she fe^ls a growling consciousness of the ties which relate her
to other people. The development of values will be blocked by inability
to communicate with others to get their ideas, thoughts and fcehngs
through conversation and reading. This growth cannot take place when
there is ignorance or when personal pride erects barriers among men and
women. Education at Frances Shimer College is designed to eliminate
those obstructions to the growth of its students and to provide pc^tive
conditions for the increase of values in their lives.

HISTORY

Ninety years ago, when American education was still designed pri-
manly for men, Frances Ann Wixxl received a call to establish a school
in the modest-sized Illinois community of Mount Carroll. With Miss
Cinderella Gregory she left her home in New York State and on May 1 1 .

FRAHCES SHIMER COLLEGE

1853, the tvvo young pioneers in the education of women opened the
Mount Carroll Seminary.

Frances Wood, later Mrs. Frances Wood Shimcr, administered the
Scminar>^ herself for forty-three years, Miss Gregory having resigned in
1870. In 1896, by her own wish, Mrs, Shimer transferred control to a
self 'perpetuating Board of Trustees of fifteen members representing the
University of Chicago, the alumnae of the Seminary, and the citizens of
Mount Carroll. Ten members of the Board of Trustees are members of
Baptist churches.

The chartered name of the institution became The Frances Shimer
Academy of the University of Chicago, Friendly relationship with the
University implied by this name, as well as the representation of the
University on the Board of Trustees, remains to the present day.

That the Academy did receive unusual representation from the Uni-
versity during this early period may be judged from the names of mem/
bers of its first Board of Trustees, which included such leading educa-
tional figures as William Rainey Harper, Thomas W. Goodspeed, Henr>'
A. Rust, AlonM K. Parker, Frank J, Miller, and La than A. Crundall.
In the years that followed, progressive educational policies were inaugu
rated. These years were, in a sense, the critical, formative years in the
college's growth, and its successful emergence from them points to the
quality of its leadership.

In these years also the college began rebuilding on a much larger scale.
The original Seminary buildings having burned in 1906, the present
quadrangle was laid out, providing ample room for building expansion

The institution was one of the first to undertake the junior college
plan, and graduated its first junior college class as early as 1909, ]on\i
before the junior college had won the popular acceptance which it has
now. In 1931, the tnistees approved the idea of making the four-year
junior college the chief unit of academic organization.

Upon the retirement of Mrs. Shimer, William Parker McKee of

Minneapolis was called to be president. During his thirty- three year

administration, the present complete plant was built and most of the

equipment acquired. He was President Emeritus from 1930 until his

death in 1933. Floyd Cleveland Wilcox, who became president upon

Dr. McKee's retirement, retired in 1935. During his administration the

college made many advances in educational policy. In 1936, Raymond B.

Culver became president and served most ably until he resigned because

of ill health in February, 1938. In the interim between Dr. Wilcox's and

Dr* Culverts incumbency, and again during the year between Dr. Cul

ver*s death and Mr, Bro's appointment, A. Beth Hostetter, formerly

dean and now vice-president, acted as president. In the fall of 1939,

Albin C, Bro came to the presidency from his work with the University

of Chicago Press.

In 1937 the Carnegie Corporation of New York made a grant of
$1,500 for the general reading collection of the library, purchases being
made over a three-year period. The equipment of the main reading
room, occupying the entire first floor, was increased in I9?9 and 1040 by
the gifts of Mr. and Mrs S. J. Campbell.

In the south room on the second fltxir is the Hcinsr Music Rooti.
which contains the Carnegie Music set received in December. 1940. This

designed Lyon and Healy phonograph. The records are fully indexed
and filed in the listening room where they are available for •eudcnt and
faculty use. The center room on the second floor houses the Carnegie
Art set which was received in 1941. This set includes 130 volumes on
art and related subjects and 900 classified reproduaions. The north room
IS used for art exhibits.

the present collection of approximately 14,000 volumes, files of maga-
lincs, pamphlets* government documents, and bulletins. The entire col'
lection is well cauloged. Through the services of the librarian and fac-
ulty, the resources of the library arc strengthened and utilized to serve
all phases of the college program.

STUDENT LIFE

RELIGIOUS

For the student at Frances Shimer College, religion is more than
Bible courses and chapel services. It is an attitude of life which permeates
the entire curriculum and which has as its goal the discovery of perman-
ent, sustaining and satisfying values. The curriculum is so organized
that it aids the student in making a religious adjustment to the realities
of life and provides a foundation for a religious commitment. Religious
literature and thought are taught as a part of our cultural heritage. One
chapel service a week is devoted to the unification of the student s re-
ligious experiences and the development of a worshipful attitude.

The purposes of the Young Women's Christian Association are to
create and sustain a spirit of friendship on campus, to discover the true
values of life and relate them to living, to grow in an understanding of
God through Jesus, to become co-workers with God in building a letter
world, and to extend the friendship beyond campus to include fellowship
with peoples of all nations, races, and creeds.

SOCIAL

The educational aims subscribed to by the college include recognition
of the idea that the whole h'fe of the student is a unit Under these dr-
cumstances the extra-curricular activities become second in importance
only to the program of the curriculum. Social training is a part of col-
lege education. Both residential house life and student organizations and
activities offer valuable training in social co-operation and in creative use
of leisure.

The social atmosphere of the college is wholesomely democratic. Every
student is expected to use and develop for the whole group whatever
social gifts she may possess. Appropriate dress, a pleasing manner, poise,
graciousness, ability to appear at ease before an audience, are as much
a part of the Shimer social ideal as are scholastic attainments*

With the assistance of class counselors the students give class parties,
dances, bazaars, teas, lawn fetes» concerts, and plays; they plan mentis,
arrange decorations, devise costumes and stage properties. A series of
formal dinners sponsored by student organizations provides opportunity
for each group to entertain the student body and faculty, and to intro'
duce visitors and speakers. Three forma! dances and two informal dances
are given during the year. The college sponsors a program of week-end

[21]

FRAHCES SHIMER COLLEGE

activities providing entertainment and social occa^ons throughout the
academic year.

While students reside in halls according to their age and academic
dass« at table they often sit with members of other classes and with
facult>^ members. Table groups are disbanded and redistributed, so that
each Shimer student, in the course of the school year, forms a maximum
number of pleasant social acquaintances with students and faculty mem*
bers outside her immediate residential group.

Each residence hall provides social rooms and parlors in which the
social life of the house group can be developed and can include the
proper entertainment of guests. Thus every aspect of mature social life
is reflected within the college community, and every student is enabled
to share in the social experinces common to educated people.

CULTURAL

The college sponsors a program of concerts, lectures, recitals, and
conferences throughout the academic year. These occasions bring to the
college and the community leaders in education, the arts, religion, and
public life. Formal presentations in Metcalf Hall or the auditorium of
the gy^mnasium are followed by smaller informal group discussions in the
student lounge of West Hall or in other college rooms.

Frances Shimer is close to the larger cultural resources of Chicago.
College-sponsored trips, under faculty supervision, enable students to
visit Chicago's museums, see current plays, attend concerts by the Sym'
phony Orchestra, or be present at events of interest to a specific group.

Frances Shimer has for many years, however, prided itself upon the
creative activity within the college denoting the cultural resourcefulness
of its students. It has consistently encouraged the creative instinct in
whatever direction the students choose to turn; the theater, music, pain^
ing and drawing, and creative writing have been liberally encouraged by
the college administration, which in turn has been rewarded by the un^
usual quality^ of the students^ response.

RECREATION AND PHYSICAL WELFARE

Few institutions are equipped to offer so complete a recreational pro^
gram as Frances Shimer. In addition to the cultural resources for rec^
reation already mentioned, the college maintains physical education
equipment which is both modem and ideal.

The gymnasium is new and entirely adequate. It houses a full^sized
playing floor with a standard basketball court adaptable to a variety of

these records.

tional program m the maintenance of good health. She is on duty at all
times and is available to students day and night When the attentions of
a physician are necessary, appointments are made by the nurse and the
student assumes the expense.

COURSE INFORMATION

UNIT OF INSTRUCTION

The unit of instruction is a semester hour. This term may be defined
as a credit granted for successful completion of a study pursued for one
class hour per week throughout a semester of eighteen weeks.

In general, two hours of laboratory work arc counted as equivalent
to one recitation class hour if the instructor requires computations and
write-ups of laboratory work to be done outside of laboratory hours.
If such work is required to be done in the laboratory and under the
supervision of the instructor, the laboratory equivalent of a class meeting
for which preparation has been made is three hours.

Class hours are fifty minutes in length. A five-minute interval is
allowed for passing from one class to another.

GRADING SYSTEM

The letters A to E are symbols used to indicate the degree of pro-
ficiency in any subject and may be interpreted as follows:
A— Superior C— Average

B— Above average D— Below average

E — ^Failure

As a rule, condition grades are not assigned by the faculty. Where
special conditions prevail, however, which are not the result of a student's
inattention to her studies, incomplete work may be made up with the
consent of the instructor. A student who receives a final examination
grade of E in any subject may request a second examination, providing
the average grade in that subject is not less than C. Such an examination,
however, must be taken not later than four weeks after the beginning of
the ensuing semester, and when taken may not result in a final semester
grade higher than C.

Supplementing the marking system is the grade point system, which
serves to set definite standards of achievement in terms of amount and
quality of work. Grade points are assigned in the following manner:

A grade of A earns 3 grade points for each semester hour of credit.

A grade of B earns 2 grade points for each semester hour of credit.

A grade of C earns 1 grade point for each semester hour of credit.

A grade of D earns grade points for each semester hour of credit.

DEVELOPMEHT OF THE PLAH

The curriculum of Frances Shimcr College has been under study and
revision for several years. In 1931 the Board of Trustees made the four

THE SHIMER PLAH

year junior college the basic unit of academic instruction. In 1944 a
thorough study of the college was made by Dr, John Dale Russell and
his associates from the Department of Education of the University of
Chicago. Later that year the faculty and administration revised the state^
ment of the aims and purposes of the college. After this statement was
accepted by the Board of Trustees, the faculty was re-organi^^ed and the
process of revising the curriculum to carry out the stated purposes was
begun. The plan will be introduced at the elevcjith and thirteenth grade
levels in September, 1947. Twelfth and fourteenth grade students will
enroll under the old plan.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHIMER PLAH
General

The purpose of education at Frances Shimer College is to develop the
ability to identify basic values which guide the individual in making de-
cisions and to cultivate concrete experiences which augment the meaning
of those values. This means that the curriculum must be concerned with
general education. General education is not divorced from thorough study
of specific events, periods, or cultures but it is opposed to over-specializa-
tion. It is general in the sense of being generic, inter-related and inte-
grated. All study is concerned with specific facts and events. General
education is concerned not only with these facts but with the meaning
of facts. When information becomes meaningful it becomes useful in
value choices. The Shimer Plan is an attempt to build a general, inte-
grated curriculum.

Prescribed

In order to do this a large percentage of the courses must be prescribed.
The integration of meaning between areas of study is lost when a student
is permitted to elect courses according to their immediate fancy or desire.

Individual

When the plan becomes effective for all grades in September, 1948,
each student will be given an opportunity to test out of courses by place-
ment examinations. Tests in the field of communications will be ready in
September, 1947. This permits an individual student to advance as
rapidly as possible.

Complete

The Shimer Plan attempts to bring together the '^curricular'' and
"extra-curricular" into an integrated program. The four content coui^es
are equivalent to sixteen hours of credit. Each student must participate
in a graded program of physical education and sports. Riding may be
substituted for physical education at any level Furthermore each student

FRANCES SHBAER COLLEGE

must develop creative skills in art, music, dramatics or the activities of
the home or business. Many of these activities have been considered
*^extra''<urricular. The Shimer Plan insists that such experiences are
essential in the life of a student and attempts to organize them on that
basis,

RE^VIREMEHTS FOR GRADUATION
For graduation a student must pass sixteen comprehensive examina-
tions or demonstrate achievement through courses transferred or by place-
ment examinations. By September, 1948, all advanced standing will be
determined by placement examinations. A student must also present sat-
isfactory achievement in four units of physical education and four units
of art, music, drama, home or business hfe. Twelfth grade diplomas are
awarded when desired but there is no formal graduation or commence-
ment at that level*

CREDITS AHD TRAHSFER

Credit is measured by achievement in all fields. Class attendance alone
is no criterion of achievement. In the content fields credit is measured
by comprehensive examinations. In the creative skills a full account of
the level of achievement is presented to any institution to which a student
may wish to transfer. Credic in these fields *vill be cstabhshed according?
to the level of achievement. This is no departure from the procedure
now followed by schools of music and art.

In transferring general courses the proportion of time spent on specific
units is indicated. This provides a means of measuring credits according
to the curriculum requirements of any other college.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Courses are numbered 1 1 through 49. with odd numbers denoting first
semester coura^s and even numbers denoting second semester. S
man courts are numbered in the tens, 1 1 through 19; sophomore courses

THE FINE ARTS
Miss Hostetter. Chairman of the Division

The Division of the Fine Arts includes the work of the Departments
of Graphic and Plastic Arts and Music. Courses aimed at developing an
understanding of the arts as well as at increasing performing skills arc
included in the curriculum.

Music in the junior college has a special function in that it continues
and develops the interest aroused in secondary schools through participa-
tion in recital, chorus, and glee club. It also aims to carry to a higher
degree of proficiency the performing skills acquired elsewhere. For the
junior college student, as well as for the older liberal arts college stu-
dent, music acts as an emotional outlet, a refuge from the commonplace,
an emotional and intellectual disciplme, a vehicle of personality de-
velopment, and finally as an avocation or vocation.

Graphic and Plastic Arts in the junior college serve to prepare the
student to make significant creative contribution to contemporary art
and life, whether that contribution be m a university, an art school, a
home, or a professional position.

STUDENT REGULATIONS

Residence halls — Students from out of town are required in all cases,
unless residing with near relatives, to occupy rooms in the residence
halls. Students living on the campus avoid many distractions, come into
close contact with the life of the college, and are more likely to regard
the school work as the one thing demanding their best efforts. They are
led to cultivate a healthy spirit of self-reliance. Not infrequently the
best and most lasting results of school life arc derived from its associa-
tions.

Students are required to care for their own rooms. On days when
classes are in session the rooms must be clean and in order by nine o'clock.
Students whose housekeeping habits are unsatisfactory may be asked to
employ the hall assistant to render additional help and instruction.

As a precaution against fire, the use of matches and electric devices
it prohibited in students' rooms. Electric plate and irons are provided at
convenient places.

All rooms are furnished with single beds (l feet x 6 feet 3 inches),
pillows (20 inches wide), chairs, study tables, chest of drawers, and
window shades. The windows are six feet six inches by four feet: the
tops of the chest of drawers 38 x 19 inches. Students furnish rugs (two
feet by six is a convenient size), bedding including a mattress pad cur-
tail^, towels, cup. fork, and spoon (for use at spreads and picmcs). It^s
also recommended that the>' provide themselves u;tth a hot-water bottle,
and heavy walking shoes.

Laundry— Clothing which is to be sent to the college laundry should
be plain and should be marked by means of name tapes beanng the full
name, not the initials only. These may be ordered through the busmess
office at any time and the cost charged to the students bookstore ac-
count. White laundry bags should be used.

Absences-Students are expected to attend all school ^''jg?f ; /5['
ents are requested not to ask that their daughters be ^^^"^^ ^[^ll^^
work is entirely completed at vacations; such requests are ^^rcly granted^

quest of the parent. Reasonable week-end absences are allowed. Such
requests should be addressed directly to the Dean in ample time for cor-
respondence.

Quests — Parents who come to inspect the college, or who bring their
daughters, are particularly welcome. A moderate charge is made for
meals. When notified in advance, arrangements will be made for the
entertainment of friends of students in the village for not more than
three days at one time. Students are not excused from any regular school
duty becditse of guests.

Telephones — ^Two pay telephones, one in West Hall and one in
Hathaway Hall, are provided for the use of students. It is requested that
calls to students be made, whenever possible, during recreation hours.
Students will not be called from classes or other academic appointments
tc answer the telephone. Communications by telegraph arc subject to
the approval of the Dean.

Express and telegrams — ^All express and telegrams should be sent in
care of the college and should be prepaid to avoid delay.

Special Permissions— Sptcizl requests for permissions of any kind
should come from the parent directly to the Dean of Students, not
through the student. Until written request has been made to the Dean
and direct answer has been received, parents should not consent to stu-
dents' requests which involve suspension of college regulations.

Sercet Sodeties— All secret societies are forbidden.

A complete statement regarding student regulations can be found in
"Student Handbook" prepared by the Student-Faculty Council. Each
student is provided with a handbook.

ENDOWMENTS

Frances Shimer College is now undertaking a Development Prc^.,,,^
to enlarge its educational scope and resources. It appeals to friends to be
mindful of the varied services which the college has rendered to the
cause of the education of young women for a period now approachincr
a century.

Gifts and bequests for scholarships will aid worthy young women
who arc not wholly able financially to secure an education. A relatively
small amount of money invested for such purpose makes returns far in
excess of its market measure or value. The college welcomes the oppor-
tunity to become stewards of such funds* and to aid private individual
and friends to realize, in human satisfaction, the greatest rewards froc
their gifts.

FORM OF BEQUEST FOR ENDOWMENT

I give and bequeath to the Trustees of The Frances Shimer Academj
of the University of Chicago, located at Mount Carroll, Carroll County,

Illinois, the sum of $ to be invested

for the permanent endowment of the Academy.

FORM OF BEQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIP
I give and bequeath to the Trustees of The Frances Shimer Academy
of the University of Chicago, located at Mount Carroll, Carroll County^

Illinois, the sum of $ to be inverted

and called the Scholarship.

FORM OF BEQUEST FOR GENERAL PURPOSES

I bequeath to my executors the sum of

dollars, in trust, to pay over the same ^P

after my decease, to the person who, when the sum is payable, shall act
as Treasurer of Frances Shimer Academy of the University of Chicago,
located in Mount Carroll, Illinois, to be applied to the uses and purpo«
of said Institution as directed by its Trustees.

(This form may be used for bcquctts for endowment and Kholarshjp purpo^et
also.)
