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

1918-19 Foundation and Purpose 23
WELLESLEY COLLEGE
Wellesley, Massachusetts
FOUNDATION AND PURPOSE
Wellesley College was established for the purpose of
furnishing to young women who desire to obtain a liberal
education such advantages and facihties as are enjoyed in
institutions of the highest grade. The first building of the
College, erected and equipped under the supervision and
through the personal means of the founder, was opened to
students in 1875, with the announced purpose ''of giving to
young women opportunities for education equivalent to those
usually provided in colleges for young men." Throughout
his work the founder auned to put into visible form his ideal
of the higher education for women, "the supreme develop-
ment and unfolding of every power and faculty."
By the charter, granted by the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, "the corporation of Wellesley College is authorized
to grant such honorary testimonials, and confer such honors,
degrees, and diplomas, as are granted or conferred by any
University, College, or Seminary of learning in this Com-
monwealth; and the diplomas so granted shall entitle the
possessors to the immunities and privileges allowed, by usage
or statute, to the possessors of like diplomas from any Uni-
versity, College, or Seminary of learning in this Common-
wealth."
In accordance with the spirit of the founder, the College is
undenominational, but distmctively Christian in its influence,
discipline, and instruction.
The members of the College meet daily for morning prayers
in the beautiful chapel presented in 1899 by Miss Ehzabeth
G. Houghton and Mr. Clement S. Houghton as a memorial to
their father. Services on Sunday are conducted in this chapel
by preachers of different denominations. At all these services
and at vespers on Sunday, the smging is led by a trained choir
of students under the direction of the professor of music.
24 Foundation and Purpose 1918-19
The Welles] ey College Christian Association, organized to
foster religious life and interest in social reforms and in home
and foreign missions, meets weekly for prayer and religious
instruction.
The department of BibHcal History affords the systematic
study of the Bible required of all students.
1918-19 Admission 25
ADMISSION
Applications for admission should be made upon forms
which will be furnished by the Secretary to the Board of
Admission on request. An application fee of ten dollars is
required from all candidates for admission, and no application
is recorded until this fee is received (see page 148). It is
desirable that applications should be made several years in
advance, since the date of appHcation is used as a basis in
assigning rooms in College houses. Moreover, since the num-
ber of new students admitted is lunited by the capacity of
lecture rooms, it is necessary to close the appUcation list for
any given year at a date which varies from year to year. Candi-
dates are hable to find the appUcation list closed if they do
not make then: appHcations more than a year in advance of
the time at which they propose to enter.
ADMISSION TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS
Students are admitted by examination (see page 46) or
by the New Plan (see pages 48 to 50).
Every candidate for a degree must offer for admission to
the freshman class subjects amounting to fifteen "units."
The units assigned to the subjects indicate the number of
years, with five recitations a week, which will normally be
required in the secondary school to make adequate prepara-
tion.
A place on the list of candidates for admission will not be
reserved for an appUcant whose credentials filed in July do
not satisfactorily cover twelve of the fifteen units required
for admission. The Board of Admission requires examination
in September in all units not satisfactorily covered, and
reserve the right to exclude any candidate whose preparation
is in their judgment so defective as to debar her from carrying
successfully the work of the freshman year.
26 Admission 1918-19
Of the fifteen "units" required for admission eleven are
prescribed as follows: —
English 3 units*
History i unit
Latin 4 units
Mathematics 3 units
The remaining four units may be distributed in any one
of the three foUowmg ways: —
1. 3 units in French or German or Greek
combined with
1 unit in one of the following subjects: —
Botany.
Chemistry.
Greek,
t History.
Music.
Physics.
2. 2 units each in two of the following subjects: —
French.
German.
Greek.
Spanish.
3. 2 units in French or German or Greek or Spanish
combined with
2 units made up of i unit each in two of the following
subjects: —
Botany.
Chemistry.
Greek,
t History.
Music.
Physics.
The admission subjects are divided into two groups, as
follows: —
Preliminaries: French 3 unit requirement (except Prose
Composition and the use of the spoken language), German 3
unit requirement (except Prose Composition and the use of
the spoken language), Greek 3 unit requirement (except
Prose Composition), History (prescribed unit), Latin (ex-
* See page 28.
t See page 34.
1918-19 Admission 27
cept Prose Composition), Plane Geometry. Examinations in
Preliminaries may be taken at any time during the college
preparatory course.
Finals: Algebra, Botany, Chemistry, English, French (2
unit requirement, the Prose Composition and the use of
the spoken language of the 3 unit requirement), German (2
unit requirement, the Prose Composition and the use of the
spoken language of the 3 unit requirement), Greek (i unit
requirement, 2 unit requirement, the Prose Composition of
the 3 unit requirement). History (second unit), Latui Prose
Composition, Music, Physics, Spanish (2 unit requirement).
Examinations in Finals may be taken at any time during the
last two years before admission, provided at least three are taken
during the last year. Candidates are advised to take English
Composition and Algebra in the last year.
A candidate for admission must be at least sixteen years
of age, and must present satisfactory evidence of good moral
character and good health. A statement from the applicant's
physician to the effect that she is organically sound and in
good health, together with a certificate of vaccination must
be filed with the Secretary to the Board of Admission before
June first of the year in which admission is sought. Each
candidate before she is formally accepted is given a thorough
physical examination. The College reserves the right to
reject any candidate if the results of this examination in the
opinion of the medical staff justify such action or to accept
the candidate only on the understanding that she will take
five years to complete the course.
The student who has met all entrance requirements is
qualified for immediate matriculation for the Baccalaureate
degree in Arts. All communications concerning admission
should be addressed to the Secretary to the Board of Admis-
sion, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.
DEFINITION OF REQUIREMENTS
The number enclosed in parentheses following the subject indicates the
number of units assigned to that subject; that is, the number of years with
five recitations a week which will normally be required in the secondary
school for adequate preparation in the subject.
28 Admission 1918-19
ENGLISH (3)
The study of English in school has two main objects: (i)
command of correct and clear EngUsh, spoken and written;
(2) ability to read with accuracy, intelligence, and apprecia-
tion, and the development of the habit of reading good Htera-
ture with enjoyment.
Qrammar and Composition.
The first object requires instruction in grammar and compo-
sition. EngHsh grammar should ordinarily be reviewed in the
secondary school; and correct spelling and grammatical accu-
racy should be rigorously exacted in connection with all written
work during the four years. The principles of EngHsh com-
position governing punctuation, the use of words, sentences,
and paragraphs should be thoroughly mastered; and practice
in composition, oral as well as written, should extend throughout
the secondary school period. Written exercises may well com-
prise letter-writing, narration, description, and easy exposition
and argument. It is advisable that subjects for this work be
taken from the student's personal experience, general knowledge,
and studies other than EngHsh, as well as from her reading in
Hterature. Finally, special instruction in language and com-
position should be accompanied by concerted effort of teachers
in aU branches to cultivate in the student the habit of using
good EngHsh in her recitations and various exercises, whether
oral or written.
To meet the requirement in Composition, there should be practice in
writing equivalent to weekly themes the first two years, and fortnightly
themes the last two years of the preparatory course. Themes should be
accompanied by simple outlines. The following books are suggested:
Scott and Denney's Composition — Rhetoric; Neal's Thought Building in
Composition; Robins and Perkins's Introduction to the Study of Rhetoric
supplemented by Herrick and Damon's Compositio7i and Rhetoric; Shack-
ford and Judson's Composition — Rhetoric — Literature.
Literature.
The second object is sought by means of the reading and
study of a number of books, from which may be framed a pro-
gressive course in literature covering four years. The student
should be trained in reading aloud and be encouraged to
commit to memory notable passages both in verse and
in prose. As an aid to Hterary appreciation, she is further
advised to acquaint herself with the most important facts
in the lives of the authors whose works she reads and with
1918-19 Admission 29
their place in literary history. A few of these books should be
read with special care, greater stress being laid upon form and
style, the exact meaning of words and phrases, and the under-
standing of allusions.
Examinations.
Two types of examination are now offered to candidates for
admission: (i) the ordinary examination, divided into two
parts; (2) the comprehensive examination covering both com-
position and literature in one paper. Whichever type is taken,
no paper will be considered satisfactory, however accurate in
subject-matter, if seriously defective in punctuation, spelhng,
or other essentials of good usage.
Ordinary Examinations.
1. Grammar and Composition
In grammar and composition, the candidate may be asked
specific questions upon the practical essentials of these studies,
such as the relation of the various parts of a sentence to one
another, the construction of individual words in a sentence of
reasonable difficulty, and those good usages of modern English
which one should know in distinction from current errors.' The
main test in composition will consist of one or more essays de-
veloping a theme through several paragraphs; the subjects
will be drawn from the books read, from the candidate's other
studies, and from her personal knowledge and experience quite
apart from reading. For this purpose the examiner will pro-
vide several subjects, perhaps eight or ten, from which the candi-
date may make her own selections. She will not be expected to
write more than four hundred words per hour.
2. Literature
The examination in Hterature will include: —
A. General questions designed to test such a knowledge
and appreciation of Hterature as may be gained by fulfilling
the requirements defined under A , Reading, below. The candi-
date will be required to submit a list of the books read in prep-
aration for the examination, certified by the principal of the
school in which she was prepared; but this Ust will not be made
the basis of detailed questions.
B. A test on the books prescribed for study, which will
consist of questions upon their content, form, and structure,
30 Admission 1918-19
and upon the meaning of such words, phrases, and allusions as
may be necessary to an understanding of the works and an
appreciation of their saUent qualities of style. General ques-
tions may also be asked concerning the lives of the authors,
their other works, and the periods of literary history to which
they belong.
Comprehensive Examination.
The purpose of this examination will be to test the ability of
the candidate to write clearly and correctly, and to show that
she has read, understood, and appreciated a sufl&cient amount of
English literature. Success in the examination will not neces-
sarily depend upon a candidate's knowledge of technical points
in grammar and rhetoric or of the subject-matter of particular
books; the paper will contain some questions that cannot be
answered except by candidates who are able to apply what they
have learned to unexpected problems. From the following list
of recommended reading, books should be chosen for use in
preparing for this examination.
Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina-
tions in English must be taken in accordance with the regulation for exami-
nation in "Finals." See page 27.
A. Reading.
The aim of this course is to foster in the student the habit of intelligent
reading and to develop a taste for good literature, by giving her a first-
hand knowledge of some of its best specimens. She should read the books
carefully, but her attention should not be so fixed upon details that she fails
to appreciate the main purpose and charm of what she reads.
With a view to large freedom of choice, the books provided for reading
are arranged in the following groups, from each of which at least two selec-
tions are to be made, except as otherwise provided under Group I.
Texts for 1918 to 1922 and for Compreliensive Examinations

HISTORY (1 or 2)
Prescribed Unit
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 Government.
Candidates are advised to offer the course in Ancient History
as a part of their preparation.
34 Admission 1918-19
In the subject chosen, the student should acquire accurate knowledge
of the history as presented in a standard text-book of not less than 300
pages, and should read such fuller authorities as may be available, in amount
not less than 500 pages. Some practice in drawing maps to illustrate ter-
ritorial changes, in makmg digests of lectures and reading, and in preparing
verbal or written reports on subjects assigned for individual investigation
is essential to successful work.
Elective Unit
A candidate may offer one of these three subjects as a second
unit in History in place of the one unit requirement in Greek,
Music, or Science, provided that one of the two units offered
is Ancient History, and that the work for the second unit is
done during the last two years of the preparatory course.
Except for students entering imder the " New Plan," the final examination
in the second unit in History must be taken in accordance with the regu-
lation for examination in "Fuials." See page 27.
MATHEMATICS (3)
Algebra. — Factors, Common Divisors and Multiples, Ratio
and Proportion, Theory of Exponents including Iniaginaries,
Radicals and Equations involvmg Radicals, Inequalities, Quad-
ratic Equations (including the theory). Binomial Theorem,
Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions.
Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina-
tion in Algebra must be taken in accordance with the regulation for exam-
ination in "Finals." See page 27.
Plane Geometry. — As foimd in Chauvenet, or its equivalent.
Deficiency in preparation usually results from one or more of the following
causes: the use of text-books which are too elementary, insuificient time
spent in preparation, neglect of exercises in original demonstration in
Geometry, and of reviews in both Algebra and Geometry. It is strongly
urged that there be constant exercise in original demonstration in Geometry,
with frequent written examinations in both Algebra and Geometry, the prob-
lems proposed being drawn from other sources than the text-books.
LATIN (4)
Candidates should be familiar with the forms and syntax
of the language and possess a vocabulary sufficient to trans-
late Latin into idiomatic Enghsh and English into correct
Latin. They should also be able to translate 'at sight Latin
prose and poetry of moderate difficulty and to read Latin prose
and verse according to the Roman method of pronunciation
1918-19 Admission 35
with strict attention to vowel quantities. To attain such pro-
ficiency not less than five forty-minute periods a week for four
years should be given to the study of Latin. The amount of
prepared reading should not be less than four books of Csesar's
GalHc War, seven Orations of Cicero (counting the Manilian
Law as two) and six books of Vergil's ^Eneid. The reading may
be selected from other works of the above authors or Nepos,
Sallust and Ovid, but must include the pro Archia and two
other Orations of Cicero and two books of the ^neid.
It is of special importance that practice in writing easy
Latin at sight should be continued throughout the entire period
of preparation in connection with the reading of the Latin au-
thors. In the last year special attention should be given to
translating continuous English into Latin both in the prepared
and sight work.
Those who enter by the ordinary examinations of the Col-
lege Entrance Examination Board will take 4, 5, and 6. The
scope of the examinations will include:
(i) Translation at Sight. Candidates will be examined in
translation at sight of both prose and verse.
(2) Prescribed Reading. Candidates will be examined
upon the following prescribed reading: Cicero's Orations in
behalf of the Manilian Law and of Archias and Vergil's ^neid I,
II, and either IV or VI at the option of the candidate, with ques-
tions on subject-matter, literary and historical allusions, and
prosody.
(3) Grammar and Composition. Candidates will be ex-
amined upon the equivalent of Latin 6 under the College En-
trance Examination Board.
Except for students entering under the "New Plan," the final examina-
tion in Prose Composition must be taken in accordance with the regulation
for examination in "Finals." See page 27.
Suggestions Concerning Preparation
Exercises in translation at sight should begin in school with the first
lessons in which Latin sentences of any length occur, and should continue
throughout the course with sufficient frequency to insure correct methods
of work on the part of the student. From the outset particular attention
should be given to developing the ability to take in the meaning of each
word — and so, gradually, of the whole sentence — just as it stands; the
sentence should be read and understood in the order of the original, with
fuU appreciation of the force of each word as it comes, so far as this can be
known or inferred from that which has preceded, and from the form and
36 Admission 1918-19
the position of the word itself. The habit of reading in this way should be
encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all the translating
that the student has to do. No translation, however, should be a mechani-
cal metaphrase. Nor should it be a mere loose paraphrase. The full mean-
ing of the passage to be translated, gathered in the way described above,
should finally be expressed in clear and natural English.
A written examination cannot test the ear or tongue, but proper instruc-
tion in any language will necessarily include the training of both. The
school Vv^ork in Latin, therefore, should include much reading aloud, writing
from dictation, and translation from the teacher's reading. Learning suit-
able passages by heart is also very useful, and should be more practiced.
The work in composition should give the student a better understandmg
of the Latin she is reading at the time, and greater facility in reading.
The teachers of Latin in the preparatory schools are urged to
insist upon the use of good English in translation.
The study of Greek is strongly recommended to candidates
who plan to elect courses in Latin in college.
Ability to read at sight easy French or German prose is of
great advantage to all classical students.
GREEK (1 or 2 or 3)
3 Unit Requirement
Grammar. The etymology must he thoroughly mastered.
Prose Composition. At least forty written exercises based

tion in Prose Composition must be taken in accordance with the regulation
for examination in "Finals." See page 27.
Xenophon, Anabasis ^ three books.
Homer, Iliad, three books, with scansion.
Candidates must be prepared to translate at sight both Attic
and Homeric Greek of average difficulty, and to write in Greek
a connected passage based upon Xenophon.
Particular attention should be given to the correct writing of Greek with
the accents, to exercises both oral and written, and to the use of the black-
board for constant practice upon forms and constructions.

stood in the order of the original, with full appreciation of the force of each
word as it comes, so far as this can be known or inferred from that which
has preceded, and from the form and the position of the word itself. The
habit of reading in this way should be encouraged and cultivated as the
best preparation for all the work that the student has to do.

with the regulation for examination in "Finals." See page 27.
Suggestions Concerning Preparation for the 2 and 3 Unit
Requirements
I. The books selected for class study should be thoroughly German in
character and content. Intensive work on a comparatively small number
of pages is preferred to a more superficial study of a larger number of pages.
For the 2 unit requirement the number of pages read in class should,
in general, not exceed 300; but in no case should the amount be less than
225 pages. Not more than 100 of these pages should be taken from readers
arranged especially for beginners.
For the 3 unit requirement not more than 600 pages in all (i. e., 300 in
addition to the maximum amount for the 2 unit requirement) should, in
* See "Suggestions Concerning Preparation," on pages 41, 42.
t That is, the 2 unit requirement.
42 Admission 1918-19
general, be read; but never less than 500 pages. Not more than one work
of the classical period of German Literature should be included. Besides
this intensive reading, some rapid home reading of easier texts (100 pages or
more) is strongly urged.
2. The results desired can not be obtained if a considerable portion of
the time is spent on translation from German into English, or vice versa.
3. Features that should not be neglected are: —
a. Vocabulary. — The careful study of a goodly number of common
words and expressions drawn chiefly from the texts read.
h. Frequent practice in the oral and written use of the language w///jom^
the medium of English. This should consist partly in answering in German
questions put in German, based on all the texts read intensively in class,
partly in reproducing in German, without the aid of questions, the contents
of these texts (Freie Reproduktion).
SPANISH (2)
The requirements follow the recommendations of the Modern
Language Association embodied in Document No. 91 of the
College Entrance Examination Board.
See page 43 for suggestions concerning preparation in the case
of students expecting to enter Wellesley College.
THE AIM OF THE INSTRUCTION
At the end of the elementary course the pupil should be able
to pronounce Spanish accurately, to read at sight easy Spanish
prose, to put into Spanish simple EngUsh sentences taken from
the language of everyday Hfe or based upon a portion of the
Spanish text read, and to answer questions on the rudiments
of the grammar, as indicated below.
THE WORK TO BE DONE
During the first year the work should comprise:
(i) Careful drill in pronunciation.
(2) The rudiments of grammar, including the conjugation of
the regular and the more common irregular verbs, the inflection
of nouns, adjectives and pronouns and the elementary rules of
syntax.
(3) Exercises containing illustrations of the principles of
grammar.
(4) The careful reading and accurate rendering into good
English of about too pages of easy prose and verse, with trans-
lation into Spanish of easy variations of the sentences read.
1918-19 Admission 43
(5) Writing Spanish from dictation.
During the second year the work should comprise:
(i) The reading of about 200 pages of prose and verse.
(2) Practice in translating Spanish into EngUsh, and English
variations of the text into Spanish.
(3) Continued study of the elements of grammar and syntax.
(4) Mastery of all but the rare irregular verb forms' and of the
simpler uses of the modes and tenses.
(5) Writing Spanish from dictation.
(6) Memorizing of easy short poems.
The emphasis should be placed on careful, thorough work with
much repetition rather than upon rapid reading.
Suggestions Concerning Preparation
1. Grammar. In addition to the verb drill, the following points should
be emphasized: difference between ser and estar; use and position of pro-
nouns; prepositions required with different verbs and adjectives; use of
subjunctive and infinitive.
2. In reading, two ideas should be kept in mind: (a) accurate translation
especially of idiomatic expressions: (&) a gradual development of the power
to think in Spanish, by requiring the student to explain the meaning of
words and phrases in Spanish and give variations of text also in Spanish.
3. From the beginning the student should gradually become accustomed
to the use of the spoken language in the class room, training the ear by
means of short talks on different subjects given by the teacher and the
tongue by the different methods already suggested. Original work in
composition should also be required.
The texts suggested are : —
A collection of easy short stories and lyrics carefully graded; Perez
Escrich, Fortima; Ramos Carrion y Vital Aza, Zaragueta; Tres Comedias
Modernas; Pedro de Alarcon, El Capitdn Veneno; Juan Valera, El pdjaro
verde; Palacio Valdes, Jose; Jose Selgas, La mariposa blanca; Carolina
Marcial Dorado, Espana Pintoresca; the selected short stories of Pedro de
Alarcon or Antonio de Trueba.

44 Admission 1918-19
(i) The general principles of plant anatomy, morphology,
physiology, and ecology.
(2) A general knowledge of the great groups or phyla of plants.
In the second part of the course students should not only be-
come famihar with the prim.ary subdivisions of the great groups,
but should be able to trace the evolution of plant forms by
means of a comparative study of representative plants in the
various groups.

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

port of the College Entrance Examination Board, Document
No. 91.
The student should perform experiments in the laboratory
to illustrate the properties of the most important elements,
both metallic and non-metallic, and their compounds, and it
is strongly recommended that a few of these experiments
should be of a quantitative nature. Work in qualitative
analysis is not recommended.
When the student offers Chemistry as one of the four
examinations under the "New Plan," she will be required to
present notebooks of laboratory work. These notebooks must
be indexed and bear the endorsement of the teacher, certifying
that the notes are a true record of the student's work, and must
be presented on or before June fifteenth.

Knowledge of figured bass.
This will be demonstrated by adding Soprano, Alto, and
Tenor to a given figured bass.
Note.— Students who have never studied Figured Bass will be given
an Unfigured Bass to harmonize.
Knowledge of harmonizing a melody.
This will be tested by harmonizing a given melody, adding
Alto, Tenor, and Bass.
Emphasis should be placed on the harmonization of melody.

NEW PLAN OF ADMISSION FOR SEPTEMBER, 1919
Four women's colleges, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Vassar, and
Wellesley, announce a new method of admission, to supersede
the system of admission by certificate in 19 19. The method of
admission by examination in all subjects will be continued as an
alternative to the new plan. No change is made in the sub-
jects required for admission, no addition nor diminution in the
amount prescribed for admission is proposed. The new plan
is similar to that adopted by Harvard, Princeton, and Yale
in prescribing a test of the quality of the appHcant's scholar-
ship and intellectual power.
The examinations required in this plan are of the type
known as comprehensive examinations offered by the College
Entrance Examination Board.
The new method depends on two kinds of evidence:
I. Evidence submitted by the school, consisting of
a. A school report covering the entire record of subjects
and grades for four years.
b. A statement from the school principal including an esti-
mate of the applicant's scholarly interests, special abiUty, and
character.
1918-19 Admission 49
2. Evidence submitted by the candidate, consisting of
Four comprehensive examinations, selected from each of
the following groups:
(i) English or History, selected by the apphcant.
(2) A foreign language, selected by the applicant.
(3) Mathematics, or Chemistry, or Physics, selected by
the apphcant.
(4) A fourth subject, designated by the apphcant from the
subjects which may be offered for admission. This choice
must be approved by the Committee on Admission of the
respective colleges.
These four examinations must be taken at one time.
At least two examinations must cover more than two ad-
mission units* each.
In each subject chosen the comprehensive examination
covering all the units offered by her for admission must be
taken by the applicant.
It is desirable that applicants furnish school records and
state the subjects selected for examination before January
fifteenth of the year in which the examinations are to be taken.
The Committee on Admission of the individual college
must give its permission, based upon the evidence submitted
by the school, before the applicant may take the examina-
tions. It is proposed that the comprehensive examination
set by the College Entrance Examination Board be judged
by readers appointed by this Board, and forw^arded to the
individual college for final decision by the college Committee
on Admission.
Under the new plan the candidate, if admitted to college,
will be admitted free from all conditions. Failure to meet
completely the standard in both kinds of evidence required
will not necessarily involve rejection of the applicant; the
Committee may accept unusual excellence in one part of the
credentials submitted as offsetting unsatisfactory evidence
or even failure in another part. If the candidate fails of
admission in June she will not be debarred from taking ex-
aminations under the old system in September, but she may
not take the comprehensive examinations for admission under
the new plan before June of the following year.
• Note. — A unit as defined by the College Entrance Examination Board represents a
year's study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of
a full year's work.
50 Admission 1918-19
It is believed that this new type of admission combines
the best elements of the certificate system and of the examina-
tion system in that it requires the school record and estimate
of character, and also demands examinations designed to test
the candidate's intellectual power, not alone her memory of
prescribed facts. Furthermore, the method offers the appli-
cant the fullest opportunity to show her ability in subjects in
which she beUeves herself best quaUfied.
This plan substitutes a uniform method of administration
in place of the various certificate forms now used by the four
colleges and gives the school entire freedom in the sequence
of its work making no requirement of certain subjects in the
last years.
Comprehensive examinations according to the new plan
are given by the College Entrance Examination Board.
ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING
Candidates for advanced standing must fulfill the require-
ments for admission to the freshman class, and must also be
prepared to be examined in the required studies previously
pursued by the class which they wish to join, and in a suffi-
cient number of electives to give full standing with that class.
Such candidates, if they come from other colleges, may
present certificates of college work, but should clearly under-
stand that these do not necessarily exempt them from ex-
aminations. The credentials required are an official statement
of the admission and college records, a marked catalogue _ of
the institution from which the candidate transfers indicating
admission subjects and courses taken, and a letter of honorable
dismissal. The marked catalogue with certain required sup-
plementary information should be received by February first.
The official record and letter of honorable dismissal are due
not later than July first. Candidates for advanced standing
whose credentials admit them to Jtmior or higher rank, will take
precedence of candidates for the freshman class in the assign-
ment of rooms.
All correspondence should be addressed to the College
Recorder.
Candidates are referred to page 25 for the general state-
ment as to the time at which applications should be made.
1918-19 Admission 51
ADMISSION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE M.A. DEGREE
Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts must be gradu-
ates of Wellesley College or of other institutions of satisfac-
tory standing, and must present adequate credentials as to
their ability to carry on the work for the M.A. degree.
Applications for admission as graduate students should be
made upon forms which will be furnished by the College Re-
corder on request. It is desirable that the apphcation be
sent by May first of the year in which the student proposes
to enter. It should be accompanied by records of standing,
and, if possible, by papers and reports of work.
A matriculation fee of five dollars is payable w^hen a student
is accepted as a candidate for the Master's degree. The
amount of this fee will be deducted from the diploma fee of
twenty-five dollars payable when the degree is received.
Thirty scholarships, as described on page 152, are open to
accepted candidates for the M.A. degree, not residing in col-
lege buildings.*
Circulars containing full information for graduate students
will be sent on appUcation to the College Recorder. For
requirements for the M.A. degree see page 146.
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS NOT CANDIDATES
FOR A DEGREE
AppKcants who give satisfactory evidence of ability to
pursue advanced courses of study may be admitted at the
discretion of the Board of Admission, provided that they
satisfy the requirements of the departments which they pro-
pose to enter. It will be noted that opportunities of prose-
cuting work along special lines are thus open to persons of
experience and success in teaching who possess the requisite
qualifications for admission to college classes.
Apph cants of less maturity and acquirement are not ordi-
narily admitted, but if such desire admission they must ex-
pect to meet, by examination or by certificate from an ac-
credited school, the requirements prescribed for admission
to the freshman class, or a full equivalent for them and to
satisfy such additional requirements as are prescribed by the
* With the present dormitory accommodations it is not ordinarily possible to reserve
rooms on the campus for graduate students; if candidates secure places in college buildings
they must pay the full charge for board and tuition.
52 Admission 1918-19
departments which they propose to enter. Specific state-
ments of these requirements in Music will be found on pages
126, 127; in Hygiene on page 106.
All courses, graduate as well as undergraduate, are open
to special students, subject to the conditions stated by the
various departments; but every such student is expected to
choose a primary subject to which she should devote the
greater part of her time. A student who creditably com-
pletes a prescribed group of courses will be granted a certifi-
cate.
As the capacity of halls of residence is not sufiicient for
candidates for degrees, special students cannot be lodged in
the college buildings. Comfortable homes may be found in
the village at about the same expense as in college houses.
All correspondence should be addressed to the Secretary
to the Board of Admission.

hours of practical work as indicated in 5, 14, 16, above, equivalent
to nine hours of practice, may count toward the degree; four and
one-half hours of practical work, equivalent to thirteen and one-
half hours of practice, may so count, if six hours in the History of
Art have been completed.
Students in art courses are required to use laboratory methods,
examining and comparing, sketching or describing the photographs
used in illustration.
Previous preparation in drawing is not required.

to give a knowledge of the fundamental principles of plant life
and plant breeding, and of the general principles of floriculture.
The course is developed on purely scientific lines, but, at the same
time, it seeks so to relate our study of plants to all life as to give
the student that familiar and intimate acquaintance with her living
environment which makes for the broadest culture of to-day.
The structure and development of certain plants are studied
from seed germination to fruit formation, and the more simple
problems connected with the adjustment of plants to their sur-
roundings are investigated. Students are trained to know the
herbaceous plants in their spring condition, to recognize the early
flowers, and to know our common trees both in their winter and in
their summer aspect.

Modern works. The course takes up the study of the principal
chords, their function in the musical sentence, the smaller forms
(song form, the small classical and modern dance forms) and then
proceeds to the larger forms (Suite, Sonata, Symphony, Canon,
Fugue, Overture, Sjmiphonic Poem). The smaller forms will be
studied through individual and class analysis, individual reports
and short papers, while the Victrola and Player-piano will be freely
used in the analysis of the larger forms. No original work in
composition is required.

This course is a training in the principles of interpretation, de-
veloped through the performance in class of music studied with the
private teacher and by listening to and analyzing compositions per-
formed by others. The course concerns itself \vith the recognition
of the simple cadences, harmonic figuration as applied to the accom-
paniment, the broader rhythmical distinctions, the relations of mel-
ody and accompaniment, the school of the composer, biographical
data, and the simpler elements of form.

II. Practical Music (Instrumental and Vocal Lessons)
[Attention is called to the fact that a good student need not necessarily spend five years
in college in order to carry on practical music at the same time with the academic course.
See (a) below.]
It is beUeved that students having a performing technique will be able
to profit by the theoretical instruction given in the department to a fuller
1918-19 Music 127
degree than those without such a technique. To encourage students to
acquire a technique, as well as to furnish authoritative instruction, the
department undertakes to give lessons in pianoforte, organ, violin and
violoncello playing, and in singing. Practical work is an elective, and stu-
dents should notify the department of their election of the subject in the
usual manner and at the proper time; with the exception of theory courses
2 and 3 and the applied music courses 9, 10, 11, 12, practical work
does not count toward the B.A. degree. It is offered to all students, whether
candidates for degrees or not, as stated below: —
(a) Candidates for the B.A. degree who propose to spend hut four years in
college may take practical music, provided that they obtain each year the
permission of the Dean of the College as well as of the Professor of Music;
they must also take Musical Theory unless they have completed two two-
hour or three-hour courses in the subject.
(&) Candidates for the B.A. degree who are willing to devote five years to
the college course will be permitted to take practical music each year of the
course. Freshmen may do so without taking Musical Theory, but all
other students in the academic and musical course are governed by the
restriction laid down in (a).
(c) Candidates for the B.A. degree who wish also the Certificate of the
Department of Music should plan to devote five years to the college course.
Such students are required to take practical music, two lessons a week,
throughout the five years. They must complete, satisfactorily to the
department, a course in the literature of the instrument chosen or of the
voice; they must apply for the certificate at least three years in advance.
After the first year the study of Musical Theory is required.
{d) Students not candidates for the B.A. degree who desire to specialize
in music must meet the requirements prescribed for admission to the fresh-
man class, and must in addition pass an entrance examination, particulars of
which will be furnished on appHcation. Special students must take both
Musical Theory and vocal or instrumental lessons, two a week, with not
less than twelve hours of weekly practice. They must also take from six
to nine hours per week of academic work, including Musical Theory, as may
be decided in consultation with the Dean.
(e) Students not candidates for the B.A. degree who wish the Certifi-
cate of the Department of Music must comply with the conditions laid down
in {d); moreover, the academic work taken must include modern languages.
Such students must apply for the certificate on entering the department,
and must have already acquired the fundamental technique of the instru-
ment chosen or of the voice. The time occupied in study for the certificate
depends upon the talent, upon the proficiency of the student at entrance,
and upon her subsequent diligence; but in general four years at least are
necessary. The various courses are so arranged that the pupil on comple-
tion will have an acquaintance with the best musical literature.
if) Graduates of Wellesley College or of other institutions may make
special arrangement for instrumental or vocal lessons.
128 Courses of Instruction 1918-19
(g) Permission to practice in Music Hall cannot be given to students
not regularly registered in the department.

Scholarships in Schools of Classical Study. — Student-
ships in the American School of Classical Studies in Athens,
and the American Academy in Rome, are open to graduates
and graduate students of Wellesley College who have done
sufficient work in the classics to meet the admission require-
ments. The object of these schools is to afford opportunity
for the study of classical hterature, art, and antiquities, to
aid in original research in these subjects, and to conduct the
exploration and excavation of classical sites.
The American School of Classical Studies in Athens. — The school year
extends from October first to June first. 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 inde-
pendent course of study at x\thens under the advice of the Director. Mem-
bers of the school are subject to no charge for tuition." * Further informa-
tion can be had by application to Professor Chapin or Professor Walton,
who represent Wellesley College upon the Managing Committee of the
School.
The American Academy in Rome, School oj Classical Studies. — The Amer-
ican School of Classical Studies is now one of the consolidated schools of
the American Academy in Rome. The school year extends from the fif-
teenth of October to the fifteenth of June. It is hoped that a summer ses-
sion also for teachers of the classics may be arranged. For information in
regard to the work of the School and the requirements for admission, appHca-
tion may be made to Professor Hawes.
• A few Fellowships are awarded on competitive examination.
1918-19 Fellowships and Scholarships 153
Scholarships in the Marine Biological Laboratory
AT Wood's Hole*. — Wellesley College offers annually two
scholarships for study at this laboratory. The laboratory
is open to investigators for the whole year. During the sum-
mer three courses in Zoology and two in Botany are offered
to those needing instruction. Applicants desiring to take
any of these courses must have completed a college course
in the subject in which they wish to work.
Students in either Botany or Zoology who desire to undertake original
work will receive suitable direction. In addition to these opportunities
there are courses of lectures on special topics and on subjects of general
biological interest. Applications for appointment should state the char-
acter of the work to be done, — i.e.^ whether botanical or zoological, whether
general work, investigation under direction, or independent investigation, —
and should be forwarded to Professor Hubbard or Professor Ferguson in
time to reach Wellesley College before April first.
Scholarships at the Zoological Station in Naples. —
Wellesley College is a subscriber to the support of the Ameri-
can Women's Table at the Zoological Station in Naples, and
thus has a voice in the selection of the persons who make
use of it. Such persons must be capable of independent
investigation in Botany, Zoology, or Physiology. Appoint-
ments are made for a longer or shorter period, as seems in
each case expedient. Applications for the use of the table
may be made through the President of the CoUege.

scopic mounts. In addition collections for a permanent
museum now number more than five thousand specimens.
The department has an "Outdoor Laboratory" for the use
of certain courses. The greenhouses contribute to all the
courses in the department; but are of especial importance
in connection with the work in landscape gardening; in plant
physiology and ecology.
The native flora about Wellesley is easily accessible, furnish-
ing a convenient field for both the taxonomist and ecologist.

try and is well suppHed with reference works and with current
periodicals.
CHEMISTRY
The department of Chemistry occupies a separate build-
ing, which contains two lecture rooms and the chemical U-
brary, in addition to the rooms fitted up for laboratory work.
Separate rooms are provided for work in General and Organic
Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, and Air,
Water and Food Analysis. The building is conveniently
arranged and well equipped with necessary apparatus and
appUances.
162 Equipment 1918-19

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

ber of models for use in the elementary work.
1918-19 Equipment 163
PHYSICS
The department of Physics occupies temporary quarters
consisting of a conveniently arranged lecture room, fitted
with [direct and alternating current and gas, laboratories for
general physics, electricity, heat and light.
The equipment, destroyed by fire in March, 19 14, is being
replaced as rapidly as war conditions permit. The lecture
apparatus is sufficient to permit a wide range of experimental
lectures. In the elementary laboratory duphcation of ap-
paratus permits a close co-ordination between lectures and
laboratory exercises. The advanced laboratory equipment
is especially strong in electrical apparatus, and in optics in-
cludes such instruments as the Reichsanstalt precision photo-
meter, a Michelson interferometer, Societe Genevoise spectro-
meter, a comparator designed by E. B. Frost, etc.
PSYCHOLOGY
The temporary quarters of the laboratory now include
seven rooms, six in the north wing of the Administration
Building and one in the basement of the Art Building. The
equipment, entirely destroyed by fire in March, 19 14, is being
replaced as fast as war conditions permit. Fair provision is
made both for demonstration and for general experimental
work.
ZOOLOGY
The department of Zoology is housed in a small temporary
building consisting of four laboratories, three offices, a gen-
eral work room and a museum room. The building is suppHed
with water, heat, electricity and gas. The laboratories are
equipped for present needs with microscopes, physiological
apparatus, sHdes for histolog>' and embryology, Leuckart
charts, and a collection of skeletons and alcohoUc specimens.
All the courses except two are given in the new temporary
building. The work in anatomy is conducted in the labora-
tories in Mary Hemenway Hall.
The nucleus of a new museum is already formed through
gifts of bird skins, insects, shells, and a collection of inverte-
brates from the Zoological Station at Naples, and another
from New England.

Honor Scholarships
1918-19
HONOR SCHOLARSHIPS
Honor Scholarships (without stipend) have been estab-
lished by the College for the purpose of giving recognition
to a high degree of excellence in academic work. These
honors fall into two classes: students in the first, or higher
class, are termed Durant Scholars; students in the second
class are termed Wellesley College Scholars.
These honors are awarded to seniors on the basis of two
and one-half years' work, to juniors on the basis of one and
one-half years' work. The standard in each case is absolute,
not competitive.
