NEW BEDFORD TEXTILE INSTITUTE
1898-1953
The New Bedford Textile Institute was established and incorporated by the
Board of Trustees of the New Bedford Textile School on August 1, 1895, under
Chapter 475 of the Acts of 1895 of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The first meeting of the Board of Trustees was held on January 27, 1896 and
committees were appointed to supervise activities with relation to building, fi-
nance, machinery, education and other necessary executive functions. During the
year 1897 the city of New Bedford appropriated $25,000 for the use of the
school and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts appropriated an additional
$25,000 the following year. With these funds the first of the present five
buildings was constructed.
The first building, consisting of three stories and a basement, comprised about
22,000 square feet of floor space. During the first 25 years of the school's
existence, four buildings were added; three in the form of additions and one, the
recitation building, a separate structure, was connected to the others by an
overpass and tunnel.
The General Court of Massachusetts in 1950 appropriated $750,000 to be
used in expanding the Institute's classroom and laboratory facilities. After
numerous unavoidable delays, ground will be broken for it during the coming
year.
The present Institute has approximately 110,000 square feet of floor space. It
is one of the most modern and best-equipped institutes in the world.
The first course offered by the Institute was entitled, "General Cotton Course."
In 1902, two additional courses in Knitting and Chemistry were offered. A me-
chanical engineering department was added in 1905. This department offered
courses in mechanical drawing, machine shop practice, shop mathematics, me-
chanics, electricity and steam. These courses at first were offered only in con-
junction with the general cotton course. Later, a separate course in Junior Me-
chanical Engineering was offered and it was from this beginning that the present
engineering department evolved.
Today the following courses of study are offered:
Degree Courses — 4 years
Bachelor of Science in Textile Chemistry
Bachelor of Science in Textile Design and Fashion
(Tentative)
Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering
Textile Engineering Option
Textile Manufacturing Option
Bachelor of Science in Machine Design
Diploma Courses — 3 years
General Textile Manufacturing

Certificate Courses — 2 years
Textile Technology
Drafting and Machine Shop Practice
Along with the development and expansion of the curricula, there has been an
almost complete renewal of equipment and a modernization of working facili-
ties, i.e., laboratories, lighting, etc. It is estimated that during the past ten years
approximately 450,000 dollars have been spent for new equipment and moderni-
zation.
At the present time, extensive additions to the school plant are being planned.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has recently appropriated funds toward the
purchase of considerable property adjoining the institute. Engineers are now-
working on tentative plans for a large addition which will house more labora-
tories and a modern library.
The New Bedford Textile Institute is proud of its professional standing and of
the recognition it receives throughout the world. This recognition is evidenced
by the large number of foreign students who attend each year. The current en-
rollment consists of students from approximately fifteen states and twelve foreign
countries. Among the latter are France, Palestine, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Canada,
China, Haiti, Egypt, Brazil and Greece.
ENVIRONMENT
The Institute is situated in the city of New Bedford, Massachusetts. It is lo-
cated along the main bus line; both the bus terminal and railroad station are
within walking distance.
New Bedford, being an industrial city is an especially suitable location for
a school of this type. For many years it has been recognized as the world's largest
manufacturer of fine cotton yarns and fancy fabrics. In recent years the in-
dustry of this city has become more diversified. Many new industries have found
New Bedford, with its skilled manpower, particularly suited to their type of
work. These industries include the world's largest manufacturers of electronic
equipment along with an important manufacturer of condensers. One of the
world's most important manufacturers of rubber equipment has long been es-
tablished here and more recently a leading manufacturer of machine tools has
migrated to this industrial city.
Textile, machine tool and rubber manufacturing or processing do not consti-
tute the whole of New Bedford's diversified industry. This historical city has
long been recognized as a leading fishing port. Each year, millions of dollars worth
of fish are brought into this port, either for direct shipment or for New Bedford's
large fish processing houses.
These industries, both old and new, afford the Institute many opportunities
for planned inspection trips. This, we feel, is an invaluable aid in acquainting the
student with the practical phases of his academic work.
Students wishing to remain in New Bedford during the summer recess will find
many opportunities to wTork during this period. Because of the nature of the
city's industry, the student often finds work which is in his chosen field, thereby
gaining practical experience as well as financial aid to meet the expenses incurred
during the school year.
The civic center of New Bedford is a few minutes walk from the school
grounds. Here the student will find the municipal building, the main library,
veterans administration building and many other city and county buildings. Close
to the civic center he will find the city's largest shopping and theater district.
COLLEGE FACILITIES
Library
The institute maintains a main library and several small departmental libraries.
The present main library contains approximately 4,000 volumes, all of which per-
tain, for the most part, to textile manufacturing, chemistry and general engineer-
ing. Present plans call for a library in the new addition to house a minimum of
15,000 volumes.
Each of the smaller departmental libraries contain volumes pertaining to the
work of each particular department. Included among these are bound volumes of
some twenty publications which are received monthly. These volumes make a
very important reference for those students engaged in research.
The students also have access to the New Bedford Public Library. This library
contains a very comprehensive collection of about 25,000 volumes. All courses
offered at the institute require the student to make full use of all these facilities.
7
Bookstore
The institute maintains a bookstore on the second floor of the administration
building. This store is operated on a non-profit basis. All supplies, books, etc.,
are sold at very little above cost — this difference covering the cost of maintain-
ing the store.
The student will find all the supplies he needs in this bookstore. Although the
student is not required to purchase these supplies, he is advised not to buy else-
where until he is certain those things he will buy are approved by the person in
charge of the course in which the equipment is to be used. All supplies in the book
store are approved.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Student Council. This is a body consisting of elected representatives from
each of the twelve classes, and one faculty representative. Its purpose is to study
problems of the student body, class activities and the various matters of student
organizations. This body represents the student body in proposing changes or
making recommendations to the college authorities.
Interf raternity Council. An organization consisting of members representing
each of the men's and women's fraternities. One member is chosen from the
faculty. This body determines the rushing season and the rules which control
rushing. It has charge of enforcement of all institute rules regarding member-
ship in fraternities.
Fraternities. There are three national, professional and social men's fraterni-
ties and one women's sorority. These are
Phi Psi Delta Kappa Phi Sigma Tau Phi
The women's sorority is: Phi Zeta Sigma. These fraternities maintain chapter
rooms and all play a major part in the social and athletic affairs of the institute.
Athletic Council. This is a body consisting of representatives of the Board of
Trustees and representatives of the faculty. The purpose of this group is to de-
termine all athletic policies. The athletic council determines the budgets for each
sport and all schedules must meet their approval.

taken.
All applicants must present with their application a certified transcript
of their secondary school record.
Advanced Standing
Applicants will be admitted to advance standing if the following conditions are
fulfilled:
The Faculty Committee on admissions must be satisfied that his secondary
school record meets the entrance requirements of the institute.
He must present a certified transcript of the work completed at the previous
college.
He must have completed all work required of those classes previous to the
class in which he wishes to enter.
He must show that work completed at the previous institution is equivalent
to that given at this institution.
A minimum of two years resident study must be completed at this institution

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
1. Requirements
The requirements for graduation are the satisfactory completion of all courses
in one of the prescribed curricula of the Institute, with a total of credit hours
not less than the minimum number of credit points required in the individual
curriculum.
2. Grading System
The following grading system shall be used in determining the above:
A. Excellent, 90-95
B. Good, 80-90
C. Passing, 70-79
D. Passing without credit points, 60-69
F. Failure, below 60
Abs. Absent from examination
Inc. Incomplete. Cannot be given unless student has average "C" on the course
Wi. Withdrew officially from course
"Dropped." Dropped without permission or after final date
3. Explanations
a — A student absent from a final examination shall be required to make
up the examination within thirty (30) days. The date for the examina-
tion in such a case will be left to the instructor's discretion.
b — "Incomplete" indicates that the student has had an average of "C" or
above, but has not completed the work specified for the course, has been
allowed an extension of time by the instructor. The grade of "Incom-
plete" must be replaced by a regular grade the next time the course is
given during the student's residence, or the "Incomplete" will become a
"Failure" "Fi."
c — A grade of "Fd" is posted if the instructor reports a student has dropped
a course for which he was scheduled. The student may not have dropped
the course officially or he may have dropped it after the final date for
dropping courses.
d — A "Failure" may be made up only by repeating the subject. Such a re-
peat course may be regularly scheduled on the students roster.
e — A student is to be marked late if he enters any class period (lecture or
laboratory) before one-third (Ya) of the period has elapsed. If he en-
ters after one-third (%) of the class period has elapsed he is to be
marked absent.
4. Credits and Averages
The Institute operates on the credit-point system. Term credits represent the
number of hours of work completed successfully; credit points are determined
by the grade earned; (A) 3 credit points for each credit hour; (B) 2 credit
points for each credit hour; (C) 1 credit point for each credit hour. A student is
not required to repeat a subject in which a grade of D is obtained; he receives,
however, no credit points to be counted toward the minimum number required
for graduation. In order to be granted a degree, a student is required to have a
minimum number of credit points equivalent to the number of credit hours re-
quired for graduation in his curriculum. In other words, he must obtain an over-
all average of Q or 1.00.
a — Standing for any period of time is the result obtained by dividing the
number of credit points received by the student by the number of
credit hours for which he was registered.
b — Transfer credits and points are not included in scholastic averages.
c — Grades of absent count as failures. Grades of incomplete do not count
at all.
d — The roster of the student's courses, duly approved, and copies filed
with the Dean of Students, must contain every subject for which the
student is allowed credit.
e — No student may exceed a load of credit hours greater than that listed
for his curriculum without the aproval of the Dean of Students; nor
may he schedule less without the approval of the Dean of Students.
5. Dean's List
A student who at the end of a semester has a high scholastic standing will be
placed on the Dean's List. This list will be posted on the official bulletin boards.
6. Degrees with Distinction
With highest distinction
With high distinction
With distinction
7. Attendance Regulations
Daily attendance records are to be kept by the instructor in charge of each
lecture or laboratory class. For each semester, a student is allowed three (3)
credit-hour absences from each lecture or laboratory class. One (1) lecture hour
is equivalent to one (1) credit-hour; two (2) laboratory hours is equivalent to
one (1) credit-hour; that is, a student is allowed to absent himself from three (3)
lecture hours or six (6) laboratory hours in any one course for each semester. Any
student exceeding three (3) credit-hours absences from any one class (lecture or
laboratory) will be reported to the Dean of Students. Any credit -hour absence
immediately preceding or succeeding a holiday will be equivalent to two (2)
credit-hour absences. All instances of unreasonable tardiness will also be reported
to the Dean of Students.
EXPENSES, TUITION AND FEES
The tuition for all courses varies according to the residential status of the stu-
dent. For residents of Massachusetts, the rate is one hundred dollars per year, for
residents of other states, the fee is two hundred and fifty dollars. The rate for all
foreign students is five hundred dollars.
All students pay a registration fee of two dollars and fifty cents.
Students majoring in chemistry pay a laboratory fee of ten dollars. Those stu-
dents majoring in Textile Engineering or machine design pay a laboratory fee of
five dollars. In addition to these laboratory fees, all non-residents of Massachu-
setts must pay a ten dollar fee for chemicals.
All students are assessed a $10.00 athletic fee.
The cost of books and supplies varies with the type of course and the year in
10
which it is taken. This cost is more emphasized during the first year and less em-
phasized during the remainder of the instructional program. The cost varies from
approximately fifty dollars to one hundred dollars per year depending, of course,
on the aforementioned factors.
Under the prevailing conditions it is impossible to estimate the living costs for
students. There are many variable factors and much depends on the standard of
living of the student.
ENDOWMENTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The New Bedford Textile Institute is wholly supported by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts and has no endowments.
There are four scholarships offered and controlled by the school authorities.
There are also available about ten other scholarships which are controlled else-
where. Those which are controlled by the school authorities are as follows :

Bachelor of Science
Major — Machine Design
Due to the increased demand for men skilled in the field of machine design, the
original two-year course in Junior Mechanical Engineering has been increased to
a four-year course. The course has been greatly broadened in scope and includes
many new academic and technical subjects. The addition of these new subjects, we
believe, will give the student the necessary background for one who will compete
in the field of Machine Design.
The student is trained thoroughly in the field of mathematics, beginning with a
review of high school algebra and continuing through a practical course in applied
calculus. These courses in mathematics, particularly the course in trigonometry,
are designed to meet the problems ordinarily encountered by one engaged in the
various fields of engineering.
Full courses in mechanical drawing, geometry of engineering drawing, mechan-
isms, jig, fixture and tool design are undertaken. As an aid in the better under-
standing and application of the principles involved in these courses, other sub-
jects such as applied engineering mechanics, strength of materials, metallurgy,
etc., are included in the curriculum.
In the past few years we have received several requests for men skilled not only
in machine design but who also had a good basic knowledge of textile machinery.
With this in mind we have arranged a special course in the textile division of the
school, to be pursued by all taking the course in machine design. This, we believe,
will train the student in the general field of machine design and also in the particu-
lar field of textile machine design.
As in the past, the student will make frequent trips to a wide variety of in-
dustrial plants, thereby gaining a first hand knowledge of actual working condi-
tions and methods.

Bachelor of Science
Major — Textile Engineering, Manufacturing Option
This course is especially designed to equip the student with the technical and
practical background necessary for a graduate who is to enter one of the various
fields of textile manufacturing. That is, yarn and fabric development and produc-
tion, converting, selling, testing, research, etc.
Many years of experience in the field of textile education have resulted in a
systematically arranged course of study. In order that the student will thoroughly
understand and intelligently apply the principles involved in modern manufacture
of fabrics from both natural and man made fibers, he will, in the first two years,
pursue these courses of study which are basic to all engineering, i.e., mathematics,
chemistry, physics, engineering drawing, English composition, etc. In the interim
he is gradually introduced to the more elementary phases of fabric construction.
He is thoroughly instructed in both the theoretical and practical phases of
picking, carding, drawing and weaving. This work begins with elementary stages
in the first year and continues through four years to the most advanced stages.
Designing and cloth analysis are introduced during the second year and the scope
is gradually broadened through the third and fourth years. The blending of na-
17
tural and man-made fibers of cotton, wool, worsted, rayons, etc., is considered.
During the fourth year the student studies the processing of rayons, nylon, vinyon
and other continuous filaments.
The student must complete other courses of study necessary for one who would
compete successfully in the textile field. Among these are thorough courses in
knitting, textile dyeing, merchandising, economics, applied electricity, machine
tool laboratory practice and modern industrial plant construction.
A review of the curriculum will reveal a rigid four year schedule. However, past
experience and the results achieved by our graduates have warranted such a
schedule and have shown that its successful completion is well within the grasp
of those whp will succeed.

Bachelor of Science
Major — Textile Engineering, Engineering Option
In compliance with the scientific advances relative to the methods and pro-
cedures in textile manufacturing, this Engineering Option curriculum offers a
broader basic engineering foundation than does the Manufacturing Option cur-
riculum.
Included in this curriculum are pure engineering subjects not a part of the
Manufacturing Option, viz., statics, advanced thermodynamics, strength of
materials, mechanisms, dynamics and statistics. Other than a necessary adjust-
ment of class hours, to allow for the addition of the foregoing engineering sub-
jects, the Engineering Option is similar to the Manufacturing Option in technical
textile courses.

Bachelor of Science
(tentative)
Major — Textile Design and Fashion
In keeping with the current scientific advancement in American textiles, and
to fulfill the requirement relative to competent textile designers, the New Bedford
Textile Institute has added a new Department of studies in Textile Design and
Fashion.
Spectacular advancements in textile technology and engineering during the
past decade point up a paramount need for a co-ordination of the special tech-
niques of fabric and garment designers.
The styling, designing, and development of fabrics and textures now require an
extensive technical knowledge on the part of those concerned with the artistic
and functional elements of textile materials.
This course of study has foundation design and drawing as the principal sub-
jects in the Freshman year. Other courses in the first year include lettering, fun-
damental textile subjects, elementary chemistry and dyeing, U. S. history, English
and sociology.
Courses in applied textile design, art history, drawing and painting, plus theory
and practical studies of textile manufacturing, dyeing and finishing comprise the
major part of the second, third and fourth years.
Courses in dress design, pattern drafting and fashion illustration are given in
the Junior and Senior years. Academic subjects (required for a degree) are in-
cluded throughout the curriculum.
Other than in the Freshman year, projects are required whereby the student
creates and executes his own original designs, in both fabric and apparel.
The New Bedford Textile Institute shall request the State' Board of Collegiate
Authority to grant the right to offer a college degree to the students completing
this four year course in Textile Design and Fashion.
