WELLKSLEY COLLEGE
Wellesley, Massachusetts
FOUNDATION AND PURPOSE
Wellesley College was established for the purpose of fur-
nishing to young women who desire to obtain a liberal education
such advantages and facilities 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 aimed to
put into visible form his ideal of the higher education for
women, "the supreme development and unfolding of every
power and faculty."
By the charter, granted by the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, " the corporation of Wellesley College is authorized to
grant such honorary testimonials, and confer such honors, de-
grees, and diplomas, as are granted or conferred by any Uni-
versity, College, or Seminary of learning in this Commonwealth ;
and the diplomas so granted shall entitle the possessors to the
immunities and privileges allowed, by usage or statute, to the
possessors of Hke diplomas from any University, College, or
Seminary of learning in this Commonwealth."
In accordance with the spirit of the founder, the College is
undenominational, but distinctively Christian in its influence,
discipHne, and instruction.
The members of the College meet daily for morning prayers
in the beautiful chapel presented in 1899 by Miss Elizabeth G.
24 Wellesley College 1909-10
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 singing is led by a trained choir
of students under the direction of the professor of music.
The Wellesley College Christian Association, organized to
promote religious life, to arouse an intelhgent interest in social
reforms, and to foster interest in home and foreign missions,
meets weekly for prayer and religious instruction in the chapel
given by the founder of the College.
The department of Biblical History affords the systematic
study of the Bible required of all students.
1909-10 Admission 25
ADMISSION
Applications for admission should be made upon forms
which will be furnished by the Dean on request. An applica-
tion fee of ten dollars is required from all candidates for
admission, and no application is recorded until this fee is
received (see page 142). It is desirable that applications
should be made several years in advance, since rooms in
college houses are assigned to new students in the order of
application for admission to College. However, attention is
called to the fact that a place will not be reserved for an
applicant whose credentials filed in July do not satisfactorily
cover twelve of the fifteen points required for admission.
Moreover, since the number of new students admitted is
limited by the capacity of lecture rooms, for the past few
years it has been found necessary early in the year to close
the application list for the following September. Candidates,
therefore, who delay their applications beyond the first of Jan-
uary of the year in which they propose to enter are liable to
find the application list closed.
ADMISSION^ TO THE FRESHMAI<ir CLASS
Students are admitted either by examination (see pages 41
to 44) or by certificate (see pages 44 to 46).
Every candidate for a degree must offer for admission to
the freshman class subjects amounting to fifteen "points."
The points 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
preparation.

1909-10 Admission 27
Final examinations in subjects of Group A may be taken at
any time during the college preparatory course. Final exam-
inations in subjects of Group B must be taken not earlier than
fifteen months before entrance in September. Final examina-
tions in subjects of Group C must be taken 7iot earlier than
during the school year immediately preceding admission to
college.
ly The above applies to final examinations held by prin-
cipals of schools, preliminary to granting certificates, as well
as to the admission examinations.
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 blank form for the certificate
of health will be sent to all registered applicants for admission.
The student who has met all entrance requirements is quaU-
fied for immediate matriculation for the Baccalaureate degree
in Arts. All communications concerning admission should be
addressed to the Dean of Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.

1909-10 Admission 29
The books set for this part of the examination are : —
Shakespeare's Macbeth; Milton's Lycidas^ Comus, V Allegro, and
// Penseroso; Burke's Speech on Conciliation ivith America, or Wash-
ington's Farenvell Address and Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration;
Macaulaj's Life of Johnson or Carljle's Essay on "Burns.
Note. — In the Wellesley examination it is taken for granted
that candidates will have learned by heart illustrative passages from
all poems read. Books set in the requirements of previous years
are satisfactory substitutes.
Composition. — To test the candidate's command of clear
and accurate English, she will be required to write brief com-
positions upon one or more topics drawn from the assigned
readings in b, as indicated. The topics will call for only a
general knowledge of the substance of the books. After 1910
the candidate will also be required to write upon one or more
subjects of ordinary experience or knowledge, not taken from
the prescribed books.
To meet the requirement in Composition : —
1. There should be practice in writing equivalent to fortnightly
themes the first two years, and weekly themes the last two years
of the preparatory course. The subjects for themes should not be
drawn chiefly from books. The student should be led, especially
for short themes, to choose her own subjects, based on daily expe-
rience and observation. She must be able to spell, capitalize and
punctuate correctly. She must have a practical knowledge of the
essentials of English grammar, including ordinary grammatical
terminology, inflection, syntax, the use of phrases and clauses.
2. The study of the theory of Rhetoric should be distinctly sub-
ordinate to the needs of the student in composition, and limited to
the broad essentials. She should study the structure of sentence
and paragraph ; she should analyze and make outlines of essays
with a view to understanding the orderly development of thought ;
she should be taught the principles of unity, coherence, and em-
phasis, not in the abstract but as exemplified in her own work
and the work of others ; she should be taught thoroughly the
common idiom of the language. The following books are recom-
mended : —
Scott and Denney's Composition-Rhetoric; Carpenter's Exercises
in Rhetoric and Composition (High School Course) ; Robbin's and
30 Wellesley College 1909-10
Perkins's Introduction to the Study o//?/!f/orz> supplemented by Her-
rick and Damon's Composition and Rhetoric; or A. S. Hill's Foun-
dations of Rhetoric; or Webster's Literature and Composition.
The final examination in English d (including Composition)
must be taken not earlier than during the school year immediately
preceding admission to College.
Requirement for 1913, 1914, and 1915
Preparation in English has two main objects : (i) command
of correct and clear English, spoken and written; (2) ability
to read with accuracy, intelligence, and appreciation.
English Granunar and Composition, — The first object re-
quires instruction in grammar and composition. English
grammar should ordinarily be reviewed in the secondary
school ; and correct spelling and grammatical accuracy should
be rigorously exacted in connection with all written work
during the four years. The principles of English composi-
tion governing punctuation, the use of words, paragraphs, and
the different kinds of whole composition, including letter-
writing, should be thoroughly mastered ; and practice in com-
position, oral as well as written, should extend throughout the
secondary school period. Written exercises may well com-
prise narration, description, and easy exposition and argument
based upon simple outHnes. 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 literature. Finally, special instruction in
language and composition should be accompanied by con-
certed effort of teachers, in all branches to cultivate in the
student the habit of using good English in her recitations and
various exercises, whether oral or written.
Literature. — The second object is sought by means of two
lists of books, headed respectively Reading and Study, from
which may be framed a progressive course in literature cover-
ing four years. In connection with both lists, the student
1909-10 Admission 31
should be trained in reading aloud and be encouraged to com-
mit to memory some of the more notable passages, both in verse
and in prose. As an aid to literary 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 their
place in literary history.
a. Reading.
The aim of this course is to foster in the student the habit of in-
telligent 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 whaX she reads.
With a view to a great freedom of choice, the books pro-
vided for reading are arranged in the following groups, from
which at least ten units* are to be selected, — two from each
group :—
Group I (two to be selected) . The Old Testament, comprising
at least the chief narrative episodes in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua,
Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Daniel, together with the books of
Ruth and Esther; Homer's Odyssey ^ with the omission, if desired,
of Books I, II, III, IV, V, XV, XVI, XVII; Homer's Iliad,
with the omission, if desired, of Books XI, XIII, XIV, XV, XVII,
XXI ; Vergil's ^neid. The Odyssey, Iliad, and JEneid should be
read in English translations of recognized literary excellence.
(For any unit of this group a unit from any other group may be
substituted.
Group II (two to be selected). Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice,
Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, Ttvelfth Night, Henry
V, Julius Casar.
Group III (two to be selected) . Defoe's %obinson Crusoe, Part I ;
Goldsmith'' s Fi car of fTakeJi eld; Scott's I'uanhoe, or ^entin Dur-
njuard; Hawthorne's House of the Se'ven Gables; 'Dickens's David Cop-
perfield, or Tale of Tivo Cities; Thackeray's Henry Esmond; Mrs.
Gaskell's Cranford; George Eliot's Silas Marner; Stevenson's
Treasure Island.
*Each unit is set off by semicolons.
32 Wellesley College 1909-10
Group IV (two to be selected). Bunjan's Pilgrim's Progress,
Part I ; the Sir %oger de Co'verley Papers in the Spectator; Frank-
lin's Autobiography (condensed) ; Irving's Sketch Book; Macaulay's
Essay on Lord Cli-ve, and Essay on IVarren Hastings; Thackeray's
English Humourists ; Selections from Lincoln, including at least the
two Inaugurals and Lincoln's Speeches in Independence Hall and
at Gettysburg, Last Public Address, Letter to Horace Greeley,
along with a brief memoir or estimate; Parkman's Oregon Trail;
Thoreau's Walden, or VLu^iXey's, Autobiography, and Selections from
Lay Sermons^ including the addresses on Improving Natural Knoivl-
edge, A Liberal Education, and A Piece of Chalk; Stevenson's Inland
Voyage, and Travels ivith a Donkey.
Group V (two to be selected). Palgrave's Golden Treasury (First
Series), Books II and III, with especial attention to Dryden, Col-
lins, Gray, Cowper, and Burns ; Gray's Elegy in a Country Church-
yard; Goldsmith's Deserted Village; Coleridge's Ancient Mariner;
Lowell's Vision of Sir Launfal; Scott's Lady of the Lake; Byron's
Childe Harold, Canto IV, and The Prisoner of Chillon; Palgrave's
Golden Treasury (First Series), Book IV, with especial attention to
Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley ; Poe's Raven; Longfellow's Court-
ship of Miles Standish; Whittier's Snovo Bound; Macaulay's Lays of
Ancient %pme; Arnold's Sohrab and Rustum; Tennyson's Gareth
and Lynette, Lancelot and Elaine, The Passing of Arthur; Browning's
Cavalier Tunes, The Lost Leader, Hovu They "Brought the Good News
from Ghent to Aix, Home Thoughts from Abroad, Home Thoughts from
the Sea, Incident of the French Camp, Herve Riel, Pheidippides, My
Last Duchess, Up at a Villa — Donvn in the City.
b. Study.
This part of the requirement is intended as a natural and logical
continuation of the student's earlier reading, with greater stress laid
vipon form and style, the exact meaning of words and phrases, and
the understanding of allusions. For this close reading are provided
a play, a group of poems, an oration, and an essay.
Shakespeare's Macbeth ; Milton's U Allegro, II Pe?iseroso, and
Cojnus ; Burke's Speech on Conciliation with America, or both
Washington's Farewell Address and Webster's First Bunker Hill
Oration; Macaulay's Life ofjohftson, or Carlyle's Essay on Burtis.
The examination will be divided into two parts, one of
which may be taken as a preliminary, and the other as a final.
1909-10 Admission 33
However accurate in subject-matter, no paper will be
considered satisfactory if seriously defective in punctuation,
spelling, or other essentials of good usage.
The first part of the examination will be upon ten units chosen,
in accordance with the plan described earlier, from the lists headed
Reading (English a) ; and it may include also questions upon gram-
mar and the simpler principles of rhetoric, and a short composition
upon some topic drawn from the student's general knowledge or ex-
perience. On the books prescribed for reading, the form of the
examination will usually be the writing of short paragraphs on
several topics which the candidate may choose out of a considerable
number. These topics will involve such knowledge and appreciation
of plot, character-development, and other qualities of style and
treatment as may be fairly expected of young students. In grammar
and rhetoric, the candidate may be asked speciiic 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 indi-
vidual words in a sentence of reasonable difficulty, and those good
usages of modern English which one should know in distinction
from current errors.
The second part of the examination will include composition and
those books comprised in the list headed Study (English d) . The
test in composition will consist of one or more essays, developing a
theme through several paragraphs ; the subjects will be drawn from
the books prescribed for Study, from the candidate's other studies, and
from her personal knowledge and experiences quite apart from read-
ing. For this purpose the examiner will provide several subjects,
perhaps five or six, from which the candidate may make her own
selections. The test on the books prescribed for study will consist
of questions upon their content, form, and structure, 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 salient
qualities of style. General questions may also be asked concerning
the lives of the authors, their other works, and the periods of
literary history to which they belong.
The final examination in English d (including Composition)
must be taken not earlier than during the school year immediately
preceding admission to College.
34 Wellesley College 1909-10
HISTORY (1)
A full year course in one of the following subjects : —
(i) Ancient History, including a brief introductory study
of the earlier nations, but with special emphasis on Greek
History to the death of Alexander, and on Roman History to
the accession of Commodus.
(2) English History, with due regard to social and political
development.
(3) American History, with the elements of Civil Gov-
ernment.
* (4) The History of Greece to the death of Alexander,
with due reference to Greek life, literature, and art.
* (5) The History of Rome, the Republic and Empire, to
the accession of Commodus.
Candidates are advised to offer the course in Ancient His-
tory as a part of their preparation.
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 prac-
tice in drawing maps to illustrate territorial changes, in making
digests of lectures and reading, and in preparing verbal or written
reports on subjects assigned for individual investigation is essen-
tial to successful work.
Students presenting themselves for examination are expected to
bring notebooks, maps, and essays, that may serve as supplemen-
tary evidence of the character of their preparation.
MATHEMATICS C3)
Algebra. — Factors, Common Divisors and Multiples, Ratio
and Proportion, Theory of Exponents including Imaginaries,
Radicals and Equations involving Radicals, Inequalities, Quad-
ratic Equations (including the theory). Binomial Tneorem,
Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions.
The final examination in Algebra must be taken not earlier than
during the school year immediately preceding admission to college.
* After September, 1910, Greek History only or Roman History only will not
be accepter! as meeting the entrance requirement.
1909-10 Admission 35
Plane Geometry. — As found 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 elemen-
tary, insufficient time spent in preparation, neglect of exercises in
original demonstration in Geometry, and of reviews in both Alge-
bra and Geometry. One and one-third years, with daily recita-
tions, is the shortest time in which satisfactory preparation can be
made in Algebra, and one year with daily recitations is the mini-
mum in 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 problems,
proposed being drawn from other sources than the text-books.
LATIN C4>
Grammar, including Prosody.
Prose Composition.
The study of composition should form a part of each year's luork.
The aim of this study should be an accurate knowledge of the main
principles of Latin syntax, and flexibility in the use of both English
and Latin idiom. It is suggested that these ends may best be
secured by the completion of a standard text-book which gives a
systematic study of syntax, together with the writing of such con-
nected passages based on Csesar and Cicero as will emphasize the
differences between English and Latin idiom.
The final examination in Prose Composition must be taken not
earlier than during the school year immediately preceding admis-
sion to college.
Caesar, Gallic War, four books.
Cicero, seven orations, or six if the Manilian Law be one.
Vergil, ^neidy six books.
Candidates must be prepared to translate at sight Latin of
average difficulty, and to write in Latin connected passages
based upon Caesar and Cicero,
Equivalents are accepted, but verse is not accepted in place
of prose, nor anything instead of the required translation of
English into Latin.
The teachers of Latin in the preparatory schools are urged;
to insist upon the use of good English in translation.
36 Wellesley College 1909-10
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.
GREEK CI or 3)

(i) Careful drill in pronunciation.
(2) The rudiments of grammar, including the inflection of
the regular and the more common irregular verbs, of nouns,
adjectives, participles, and pronouns ; the simpler uses of the
conditional and subjunctive, the elementary rules in syntax,

direct free composition in French, together with critical reading of
texts. It is particularly urged that these texts be chosen from
nineteenth century writers of prose, verse, and drama, and if
possible from more than four authors.
In order to secure the desired results, the main emphasis should
be laid on the correct daily use of the spoken language in the class
room, on the correct and intelligent reading of French (apart from
translation) and on prose composition, including the writing of
short themes in French.
The texts suggested for reading are : —
(i) For minimum requirement: Laboulaye : Contes bleus; Dau-
det : Trois contes choisis ; France: Abeille ; Malot : Sans Famille ;

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE
Any school whose equipment and curriculum enable it to
prepare students for the freshman class, upon complying with
the regulations stated below, may receive the right to give a
certificate of scholarship which shall exempt the candidate
from college examinations for admission in the subjects sat-
isfactorily covered by the certificate.
RIGHT OF CERTIFICATION
Any school in New England desiring the right of certifica-
tion should apply to the Secretary of the New England College
Entrance Certificate Board, Prof. Nathaniel F.Davis, 159 Brown
Street, Providence, R. I., before April first of the year in which
it is proposed to make use of the privilege.
Any school outside New England desiring the right of
certification should apply to the Dean of the College between
October first and March first of any year.
In response to this application a blank form will be sent,
which the principal is requested to fill out and return, sending
with it a catalogue or circular of the school. Specimen labora-
tory notebooks must be submitted before science courses will
be approved.
1909-10 Admission 45
During the inten'ai behveen March first and October first
applications for the right of certification will not be considered
by the Board of Examiners.
In case the credentials of the school are approved by the
Board of Examiners, the right of certification is given for
three years. At the expiration of this time the renewal of the
right will depend upon the number of students sent during the
three years either to Wellesley College or to some other college
of equal rank, and upon the character of the preparation of
these students as shown by their college record. The right
of certification may be withdrawn at any time from a school
which fails to give complete and satisfactory preparation.
CERTIFICATE OF SCHOLARSHIP
1. After a school has received the right of certification,
the principal must present, upon a blank form furnished by the
College, a certificate of scholarship for each candidate. Cer-
tificate blanks will be sent about April first to the principals oi"
all accredited schools having candidates registered for the
current year.
2. These certificates and laboratory notebooks must be for-
warded in time to be received at the College by July first.
On or before August first each candidate will be informed of
the decision with regard to her certificate. Certificates re-
ceived after July first may be refused, and in any case the
decision will be necessarily delayed to the great disadvantage
of the candidate.
3. All certificates must show distinctly that the candidate
has met in detail the requirements as published in the current
Calendar. Whenever any variation has been allowed, the
work done must be specifically stated and offered as an
equivalent, to be accepted or refused. Attention is called to
the division of the admission subjects into Groups A, B, C,
stated on pages 26 and 2y, and to the fact that final exa?nina-
tions in the subjects of Groups B and C 7?tust be taken within
a specified time of admission.
46 Wellesley College 1909-10
4. All certificates must be signed by the principal of the
school, and countersigned by the assistants who have instructed
the candidate.
5. Partial certificates from two accredited schools will not
be accepted for the admission of a candidate, unless permis-
sion has been obtained from the Board of Examiners.
6. All work completed after July first must be tested by^
examination at the College in September. Certificates for
such work will not be accepted.
7. The candidate who has received the certificate of a
principal will not be exempt from the examinations for admis-
sion in any particular subject, unless her certificate shows that
she has satisfactorily accomplished the full amount of work
required in that subject. Any student whose certificate is
found on July first to be seriously deficient, may be refused
the privilege of taking examination the following September.
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 pre-
sent certificates of college work, but should clearly understand
that these do not necessarily exempt them from examinations.
Each candidate should apply for a statement of the creden-
tials which she will need to present. These credentials are
due not later than July first.
Candidates for advanced standing whose credentials admit
them to junior or higher rank, will take precedence of candi-
dates for the freshman class in the assignment of rooms.
All correspondence should be addressed to the Dean of the
College.
1909-10 Admission 47
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS NOT CANDIDATES
FOR A DEGREE
Opportunities for special study are offered to students who
are not candidates for a degree, but are qualified to undertake
college work.
Applicants who give satisfactory evidence of ability to pur-
sue advanced courses of study may be admitted at the discre-
tion of the Board of Examiners, provided that they satisfy the
requirements of the departments which they propose to enter.
It will be noted that opportunities of prosecuting work along
special lines are thus open to persons of experience and suc-
cess in teaching who possess the requisite quahfications for
admission to college classes.
Applicants of less maturity and acquirement are not ordi-
narily admitted, but if such desire admission they must expect
to meet, by examination or by certificate from an accredited
school, the requirements prescribed for admission to the fresh-
man class, or a full equivalent for them, and to satisfy such
additional requirements as are prescribed by the departments
which they propose to enter. Specific statements of these
requirements in Music will be found on page 124 ; in Physical
Education on page 103.
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 completes a prescribed
group of courses will be granted a certificate.
As the capacity of halls of residence is not sufficient 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 Dean of the
College.

tion with these concerts the department will give weekly
analyses of the programs in Billings Hall, with instru-
mental and vocal assistance.
II. Practical Music Clnstrumental and Vocal L,essons)
[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 believed that students having a command of pianoforte or
organ technique will be able to profit by the theoretical instruction
given in the department to a fuller degree than those without such
a technique. To encourage students to acquire a technique, as
well as to furnish authoritative instruction, the department under-
takes to give lessons in pianoforte, organ and violin playing and in
singing. Practical work is an elective, and students should notify
the department of their election of the subject in the usual manner
and at the proper time ; with the exception of 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 ivho propose to spend but 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 three-hour courses in the subject. This
requirement may be met, however, by students taking courses 15,
I, and 14.
* Not offered in 1909-1910,
124 Wellesley College 1909-10
(b) Candidates for the B.A. degree ivho are ^willing to de'vote
fi've years to the college course will be permitted to take practical
music each year of the course. Freshmen may do so withovit tak-
ing Musical Theoi-y, 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 fi've years to the
college course. Such students are required to take practical mvisic,
two lessons a week, throughovit the five ^-ears. They must com-
plete, satisfactorily to the department, a course in the literature of
the instrument chosen or of the voice; they must apply for the cer-
tificate 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 ivho desire to
specialize in Music must meet the requirements prescribed for ad-
mission to the freshman class, and must in addition pass an exam-
ination on the rudiments of music. This examination will be based
upon W. H. Cummings's Rudiments of Music (No. 2 of Novello
Company's Music Primers) , chapters 6, 9, and 10 omitted. 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
Certificate of the Department of Music must comply with the con-
ditions laid down in (<:/); moreover the academic work taken must
include modern languages. Such students must apply for the cer-
tificate on entering the department, and must have already acquired
the fundamental technique of the instrument 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 fovir years at least are nec-
essary. The various courses are so arranged that the pupil on com-
pletion will have an acquaintance with the best musical literature.
(f) Graduates of Wellesley College or of other institutions may
make special arrangement for instrumental or vocal lessons.
{g) Permission to practice in Music Hall cannot be given to
students not regularly registered in the department.
{h) Students whose progress is not satisfactory may be required
to discontinue their lessons.

COLfLEGE 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

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 exam-
ination. The last day for receiving applications for such cards is
for the September examinations, September first: for the mid-year
examinations, January first: for the June examinations, May fifteenth.

cies 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 con-
cerned and the Dean of the College. No student, therefore, should
enter upon preparation for such an examination until her plan has
been appro<ved by both of the abo've named officers.
Ky The College reserves the right to require the withdrawal
of students whose scholarship is not satisfactory.

uates of Wellesley College, or of some other institution of
satisfactory standing, and must give evidence of ability to carry
on the work for the Master's degree.
The work required of a candidate for the Master's degree
is equivalent to fifteen hours of college work, and includes no
fewer than nine nor more than twelve hours of regular class
work. A thesis, or a report or reports, based on independent
work will be required. The student should choose one major
subject, and not more than one minor subject, which should
be related to the major ; or she may, if she prefers, do all her
work in one subject. A candidate for the Master's degree is
required to show such a reading knowledge of French and of
German as is satisfactory to the department in which the
major subject is taken.
One year is the shortest time in which a candidate can com-
plete the work required, but it must be understood that only
students of ability and maturity will be able to finish it in so
short a time.
140 Wellesley College 1909-1©
The v/ork for the degree of Master of Arts will be tested by
either examination or thesis, or by both. Rules regarding
examinations of resident students are fully stated in the grad-
uate circular. Non-resident students will be examined in
Wellesley during some one of the regular examination periods
of the year in which the degree is to be conferred.
Thirty scholarships, as described on page 146, are open to
accepted candidates for the Master's degree not residing in
college buildings. Applications for these scholarships should
be accompanied by records of standing, and, if possible, by
papers or reports of work. Candidates residing in the college
buildings will pay the full charge for board and tuition. A
matriculation fee of five dollars is payable when a student is
accepted as a candidate for the Master's degree ; for a gradu-
ate student without a scholarship it will be -deducted from the
first tuition fee ; for a graduate student with a scholarship it
will be deducted from the diploma fee. The diploma fee of
twenty- five dollars is payable when the degree is received.
A graduate of Wellesley College who has done the entire
work for the Master's degree in non-residence is accepted as
candidate for this degree when this work has been done at
some institution which does not grant the Master's degree to
women. Any graduate student is allowed, with the advice or
the approval of the department concerned, to offer toward the
Master's degree one or two courses carried not in Wellesley
College but in some approved college or university. Prepara-
tion for the degree by private study is not permitted. The
diploma fee is the same for resident and non-resident students.
Circulars containing statement of graduate courses and fuller
information concerning graduate work will be forwarded on
application to the Dea^i of the College. It is desirable that
applications for admission as graduate students be received by
June I St of the year in which the student wishes to enter.

research in these subjects, and to conduct the exploration and
excavation of classical sites.
The American School of Classical Studies in Athetis. — The school
year extends from October ist to June ist. The regulations for
admission are as follows: "Bachelors of Arts of co-operating
colleges, and all Bachelors of Arts who have studied at one of
these colleges as candidates for a higher degree, shall be admitted
to membership in the School on presenting to the Committee a
certificate from the classical department of the college at which
they have last studied, stating that they are competent to pursue
an independent course of study at Athens under the advice of the
Director. Members of the School are subject to no charge for

Scholarships in the Marine Biological Laboratory at
Wood's Holl. — Wellesley College is entitled to appoint annu-
ally two students who may enjoy all the advantages of this
laboratory without expense for tuition. This laboratory, which
is open during the summer for the study of marine life, affords
opportunities both to investigators and to persons needing
instruction or direction.
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 appoint-
ment should state the character of the work to be done, — i. e.,
whether botanical or zoological, whether general work, investiga-
tion under direction, or independent investigation, — and should be
forwarded to Professor Ferguson or Professor Willcox in time to
reach Wellesley College before April ist.
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 investi-
gation in Botany, Zoology, or Physiology. Appointments 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 College.
Thirty Scholarships to the value of ^175 a year have
been established for the benefit of approved candidates for the
M.A. degree in residence at Wellesley. Applications for these
scholarships should be addressed to the Dean of the College,
Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.
*A few Fellowships are awarded on competitive examination.

Another source of pecu|iiary aid is in the work of the Stu-
dents' Aid Society. Small amounts are loaned to students
without interest, in the expectation that whenever they are
able, these students will repay the Society. Assistance is often
given partly in gifts and partly in loans. The funds at the dis-
posal of the Society are wholly insufficient to meet the wants
of deserving applicants. Contributions of any amount will be
gladly received, and should be sent to the Treasurer of the
Society, Mrs. PauHne A. Durant, Wellesley, Mass.
All applications for assistance should be made by letter
addressed to the Secretary of the Students' Aid Society,
Wellesley, Mass., before the first of May preceding the
college year for which the aid is needed. It should be noted
that owing to inadequacy of funds, aid cannot be promised in
advance to students who have not entered.
The Wellesley College Loan Fund, estabhshed in 1908
through the gift of alumnae and other friends of the College,
and the McDonald-Ellis Loan Fund of $500 established in
1908 by former students of the McDonald-Ellis School, of
Washington, D. C, in memory of the late principals of the
school, are valuable aids in this work for students.
In two cottages a reduction is allowed on payment for
board, under certain conditions.

facilities, administrative offices, class rooms, and laboratories
for anatomy, physiology, hygiene, anthropometry, corrective
gymnastics, and research. Immediately adjoining Mary
Hemenway Hall are tennis courts, basket ball and hockey
fields, with room for further expansion. Lake Waban furnishes
facilities for rowing and skating, and there is also a golf
course with a clubhouse. The equipment of the department is
designed solely to aid in the application of modern principles
of science to the maintenance and promotion of health.
THE FARNSWORTH ART BUILDING
AND ART COLLECTIONS
The Farnsworth Art Building, the gift of the late Isaac D.
Farnsworth, was opened in September, 1889. Besides lecture
rooms, galleries for collections, and studios for those engaged
in drawing and painting, a special feature is the arrangement of
laboratories and libraries, so that the books and art material
relating to particular subjects and periods can be made imme-
diately available to general students.

accessible, furnishing a convenient field for both the taxono-
mist and ecologist. A small glass house is an aid to work in
landscape gardening and in plant physiology. The library is
well supplied with reference works and with current periodicals.
CHEMISTRY
The department of Chemistry occupies a separate building,
which contains two lecture rooms and the chemical library, in
addition to the rooms fitted up for laboratory work. Separate
rooms are provided for work in General and Organic Chem-
istry, QuaUtative and Quantitative Analysis, Air and Water
Analysis and Food Analysis. The building is conveniently
arranged and well equipped with necessary apparatus and
appliances.

Animal Physiology. Each is adequately equipped for its
special purpose. A complete set of physiological apparatus
from the Harvard Apparatus Company is provided for each
student in the physiology course.
The Zoology Museum contains a typical collection of both
vertebrates and invertebrates, and a considerable number of
models by Ziegler, Blaschka, Auzoux, and Deyrolle. There
are also excellent collections of birds and of insects, and a
small one of fishes prepared by Denton.
NEEDS OF THE COLEEGE
Wellesley College, established by private benevolence, en-
tered upon its work with a costly nfjaterial equipment, but with
no endowment in money.
The endowment of the library by Mr. E. N. Horsford, the
later contributions of Mr. Rockefeller and others to general and
special endowment, have greatly relieved the burden resting
upon the College. Yet to-day the receipts from board and
tuition fees form the main resource with which to meet running
expenses and annual repairs, and to make those additions to
apparatus and buildings which are demanded by the constant
advance and expansion of college instruction throughout the
country.
It must be evident that the past outlay has been amply
justified by results. Notwithstanding the peculiar dependence
of the College upon the number of students admitted and
retained, its whole existence has been attended by a constant
rise in the academic standard. From Wellesley have been
graduated over thirty-five hundred young women, who have
carried the fruits of their college training into the schools and
households of their country, and into benevolent work at home
and abroad. It is believed that the College can with full con-
fidence appeal to the public at large for further aid.
Among the urgent needs of the College are the following : —
1 . Unrestricted funds for defraying general expenses.
2. The endowment of professorships.
3. A science building.
4. Halls of residence.
5. An endowment for infirmary.
6. Fellowships for graduate study.

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.
