NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
GENERAL INFORMATION
History of Northeastern University
The incorporation of Northeastern University of the Boston
Young Men's Christian Association in March 1916, marked
the culmination of a notable development. The University
is the realization of an ideal carefully worked out and persist-
ently followed for many years. One of the first lines of
endeavor of the Boston Young Men's Christian Association,
after its establishment in 1851, was the opening of evening
classes for young men. It was not, however, until 1896 that
the actual foundations for the University were laid. The
larger number of courses offered required a more comprehen-
sive organization. Gradually the courses were grouped under
separate schools and additional courses were oflfered to com-
plete the curriculum of each school.
The School of Law, established in 1898, was incorporated in
1904 with degree granting power. Founded in 1907, the
School of Commerce and Finance was authorized in 1911 to
confer the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Commercial
Science. The School of Engineering was opened in 1909 and
given power in 1920 to confer the following degrees : Bachelor
of Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering,
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, and Bachelor of Chemical
Engineering. The School of Business Administration was
opened in September 1922, with the right to grant the degree
of Bachelor of Business Administration. In addition, the
Evening Polytechnic School, the Huntington School for Boys,
the Northeastern Preparatory School, the Automotive School,
and the Vocational Institute are conducted under the adminis-
tration of the University. In March 1923, the University
was granted general degree granting power by the Massachu-
setts Legislature. Divisions of the University offering even-
ing instruction have been established at Worcester, Springfield,
Bridgeport, New Haven and Providence.
In fourteen years the School of Engineering, which was
started without special educational entrance requirements, little
equipment, a registration of only eight pupils, has grown to
be a recognized factor in the community with rigid require-
18
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
ments of scholarship and character, equipment worth thous-
ands of dollars, a highly-trained and able faculty, and an en-
rollment of over a thousand students. Young men of moder-
ate financial resources may receive college engineering train-
ing, defray part of their expenses, and in addition become
familiar with the actual practice of their profession.
Object of the School
Technical school instruction, depending on class-room work
and laboratories, must always lack some of the vital character-
istics of an actual manufacturing plant. One is carried on
for educational purposes, the other is operated for dividends.
This latter fact gives the co-operative school one advantage
over the usual educational plan. Instead of devoting several
years to work in which he may later find himself entirely
unfitted, the School puts the student to work in a commercial
plant where he may "find" himself. He learns life in its vital
issues, as well as the problem of getting along with men, thus
early learning whether he has made a wise or unwise choice
of his life work. This training demonstrates to him the use
and value of his school work, and finally gives him an unusual
opportunity to acquire from actual experience that rare char-
acteristic, executive ability, without which his life probably
would be spent on the lower levels of industry.
The fundamental aim of this School is to give young men
sound training in both the theoretical and practical principles
upon which professional practice is based. Thus they are
enabled to advance farther and more rapidly in their chosen
work than they could expect to do without further education
than that of a high-school course. The training is not in any
sense that of a trade school, but is that of a regular engineering
school of high standards.
The School offers four branches of engineering: civil, me-
chanical, electrical, and chemical. The end sought is to give
to students who have already had a high school preparation,
or its equivalent, a good training in the fundamental sciences
of mathematics, chemistry, and physics, and in the important
applications of the principles of these sciences to the several
branches of engineering. Much stress is laid on the develop-
19
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
ment of the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to new
engineering problems, and an effort is made to be thorough
without leading the student through a maze of mere mental
gymnastics.
The program of studies differs from that of many schools,
in that a student is not permitted a wide range of subjects
from which to choose. It has been found that better results are
obtained by prescribing the principal studies which the student
is to pursue,
CO-OPERATIVE PLAN
To illustrate the co-operative plan, let us take the case of
two men, "A" and "B" who desire to pursue one of the courses
offered.
If the men are members of any one of the three upper
classes (sophomore, junior, or senior), "B" will be assigned
to one of the plants of a firm that is co-operating with the
School. Here he receives practical experience under School
supervision for a period of five weeks. "A" who is called
the alternate of "B," has meanwhile been attending classes
at the School. At the end of the five-week period, "B" and
"A" change places, that is, "B" takes the place of "A" at
School, while "A" relieves his alternate at the plant of the
employing firm. This procedure is repeated each period, the
same two students alternating on the job for at least one
calendar year. "A" and "B" are spoken of as "Division A"
and "Division B" men respectively.
In the case of freshmen, the alternating period is of twenty
weeks' duration. The practical work is not necessarily of an
engineering character. Division B freshmen will ordinarily
continue until time of registration with such employment as
they may obtain. Freshmen are expected, when so advised
by the Engineering Practice Department, to take Engineering
Practice jobs.
Correlation of Practical and Theoretical Work
Co-operating employers agree, when practicable, to employ
the students in the various departments of their establish-
ments. This training is as thorough and complete as the aca-
20
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
demic work. Where possible, the plant experience ranges from
the handling of the raw materials to the shipment of the finished
product. This practical training includes a knowledge of the
executive duties of the plant as well as the use of machines.
Therefore, at the end of his course, the graduate should know
both plant operation and the administrative problems.
Upon return to school, at the end of each working period,
detailed reports are required of the students, subjects having
been chosen by them. Anything of importance connected with
the job, with the exception of secret processes, may be treated.
These reports are criticized and discussed with the student.
Accurate records and grades are kept of the engineering
practice of each student. It is not possible to secure a degree
unless this part of the course is completed successfully.
Number of Positions Available
The number of positions at our disposal in any one branch
of engineering is necessarily limited. Thus far desirable
positions have been secured for our students as the growth of
the School demanded. Nevertheless, to be sure of work in
his chosen branch of engineering, an early application is
recommended.
Sometimes students may secure their own position, in which
case, if desired, an alternate can usually be furnished by the
School. Such individual arrangements are entirely acceptable
to the School, and may be made by any applicant, subject to
the approval of the Director of Engineering Practice.
Attitude of Co-operating Firms
That co-operating employers favor our plan is clearly dem-
onstrated by their retention of the same students from year to
year. Moreover, employers listed with us apply for additional
students to fill vacancies whenever such can be filled by our
men. Many of our graduates, after completion of their courses,
continue with the co-operating employers. The men under
whose supervision the students have been doing work are
almost unanimous in their approval of our plan. The en-
thusiasm, earnestness and intelligence the students show in the
performance of their duties is a subject of comment among
the employers.
21
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Assignment
When a student is first assigned to a job, the School gives
him general information in regard to the work and a card of
introduction. At the time of the first interview the student is
expected to acquaint himself with the nature of the work on
which he is to be engaged and the conditions under which he
is to work. It is expected that no student will accept place-
ment by the School unless he intends to continue throughout
the year in School and with the finn in question, in accordance
with the Engineering Practice regulations. During the periods
of Engineering Practice, students report for work as do other
employees, no special privileges being granted. Students are
not permitted to discontinue Engineering Practice except
under unusual conditions and only by previous arrangements
with the School. In all cases of absences from Engineering
Practice, tn'JietJier avoidable or not, the student or a member
of his family is required to notify by telephone immediately
before the time of the occurrence of the absence the EM-
PLOYING FIRM and the SCHOOL. Failure to do so is
sufficient cause for dismissal.
The School places the student at work with the employing
firm and is responsible for his presence and conduct at work
as well as the quality and scope of his work. All difficulties
arising in regard to students who are on Engineering Practice
are taken up with the School authorities at the next following
school period.
Students in the junior and senior years are almost invariably
placed with firms which give them experience directly in line
with the course of study followed at school.
Freshmen and sophomores, as a rule, are assigned to work
not so technical in character, but designed to train the younger
men in the fundamental qualities of cheerfulness, dependability,
enthusiasm, and "grit." In connection with his engineering
practice during the student's college course these attributes are
emphasized at every opportunity. The first year's training is
designed especially to develop these habits. If a young man
can form habits of mental and physical alertness and reliability,
he has laid a sure foundation for his success and happiness in
later life. The detailed technical information and experience
is added in the three .upper years.

Credits
The conscientious pursuit and successful completion of en-
gineering practice assignments are necessary for the student
to obtain the degree. Seniors are required to take engineering
practice from September to June for four alternate five-week
periods and receive therefor twenty credits toward the degree.
Sophomores and Juniors, who elect the co-operative plan, work
for four five-week and one six-week alternate periods, a
total of twenty-six weeks and receive therefor twenty-four
credits toward the degree each year. Students on the full-
time plan, however, do not receive credit toward the degree
■for the practical experience they may obtain during summer
vacations.
In general, changes and transfers in Engineering Practice
are made in September, at the beginning of the school year.
Earnings
The firms treat our students as they do other employees in
regard to method of payment, rates of pay, chances of pro-
motion, etc. Each firm makes individual arrangements with
the student.
The rates of pay for students in the School are low, thus
the employer feels justified in devoting time to the instruction
of the students and in transferring them at approximately reg-
ular intervals from one department to another.
The following table of wages by agreement with the co-
operating firms is the minimum to be paid the students.
$10 per week for the first school year.
12 per week for the second school year.
14 per week for the third school year.
16 per week for the fourth school year.
Ordinarily a student starts with each firm at the minimum
wage and is promoted as his ability may warrant. In certain
cases the students receive less than the minimum stated above,
but this is usually made up to them in some other way.
No upper limit of wages is set. The average maximum is
$18 to $20, even for men of exceptional ability, because the
23
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
students are given the privilege of attending school on the
co-operative plan and of being transferred from one depart-
ment to another. The total income is more than enough to pay
the tuition and the necessary school expenses, but does not
cover board, room rent, and other living expenses, either
while in school or on the job.
Educational Certificates
The law of Massachusetts requires all students under twenty-
one years of age to obtain Educational Certificates. Massa-
chusetts General Laws 1921, Chapter 149, Section 95: "No
minor over sixteen and under twenty-one shall be employed
in a factory, workshop, manufacturing, mechanical or mercan-
tile establishment, or in a public or private bowling alley, pool
or billiard room, bootblack stand or establishment, barber shop,
or in the construction or repaij- of buildings, or by an express
or transportation company, except as provided for pupils in
co-operative courses, unless his employer procures and keeps
on file an educational certificate showing the age of the minor
and his ability or inability to read and write as hereinafter
provided." If students living outside of Boston bring with
them Birth Certificates, it will save time and trouble. The
Educational Certificates, upon request, may be obtained from
the Superintendent of Schools in the city or town where the
student resides during the period of his employment, if he
lives in Massachusetts. Students residing outside of the Com-
monwealth during Engineering Practice periods, but working
within the Commonwealth are required to obtain Educational
Certificates from the Superintendent of Schools or designated
official of the town where employed.
Engineering Practice Regulations
(1) A student on assignment to an Engineering Practice job
is required to sign the co-operative agreement to retain that job
for a calendar year. The first week on the job is the only trial
period allowed. If the student feels that he does not want to
retain that job for at least the calendar year, he should so notify
the Engineering Practice Department during that first week.
If without such notice a student still retains the job for more
than a week, his co-operative agreement becomes eflFective au-
24
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
tomatically, and he is required by the School to fulfill that
agreement. Any exceptions may be allowed only upon petition
to the Engineering Practice Committee.
This agreement obligates the e/nployer to retain the student
on the job only so long as the co-operation is practicable. Em-
ployers are advised to discharge students after fair trial for
unsatisfactory work, incompetency, inability, or any irregu-
larity. In other words, every student is expected to work con-
scientiously and to the best of his ability and retain his job in
competition with others only through satisfactory service
(2) A student giving notice of dissatisfaction or desire for
different assignment during his trial week is expected to stay
on the job until relieved by another student assigned by the
Department of Engineering Practice.
(3) Students are required to continue on their Engineering
Practice jobs throughout the regular summer periods as shown
in the calendar in the catalog, in order to obtain the necessary
credit for the degree.
(4) In case of sickness or other emergency requiring ab-
sence from work, the EMPLOYER and the Engineering Prac-
tice Department must be notified immediately by telephone or
messenger.
(5) Students wishing to participate dtiring working hours
of Engineering Practice periods in student activities must
petition the Engineering Practice Department, in order that
the necessary steps may be taken to arrange with the employer
for such participation if possible.
(6) A student discharged or temporarily laid off is expected
to notify the Engineering Practice Department immediately.
(7) A student must not. voluntarily leave a job for any rea-
son whatsoever without the consent of the Engineering Prac-
tice Department.
(8) A student abandoning a job or so conducting himself
on his job as to purposely cause his discharge may be imme-
diately indefinitely suspended from college for breach of
discipline.
26
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
(9) Any dissatisfaction or trouble arising on jobs should be
reported to the Engineering Practice Department and adjust-
ments brought about through the department.
Schedules of Practical Work
Below are typical schedules of practical work that have been
arranged for our students by some of the co-operating firms.
These schedules are arranged with the basic idea of giving
the student a thorough training through the several different

FULL-TIME PLAN
FOR SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS
Employers seek the engineer as the type of man best quali-
fied to design and construct the physical requirements of our
modern civilization and a type, peculiarly fitted by training and
associations, to operate and manage the complex public and
industrial mechanisms which he has been active in creating.
Intelligent labor recognizes in the engineer an expert, allied
neither to capital nor to labor itself, and vi^ho is perhaps the
one element in the world today best fitted to deal with the
pressing problem of the relations between capital and labor.
Recognizing the many new possibilities open to the engineer,
representative engineering societies are requesting colleges to
incorporate in their curriculum courses which will fit for lead-
ership. This demand is a logical development in the evolution
of engineering education, "The Federated American Engineer-
ing Societies, therefore, speaking for the engineering profes-
sion, urges upon engineering colleges an increased attention
to the social aspects of engineering activities, and a broadening
of their technical training in every way possible, to develop in
engineering students the spirit of and a capacity for active
leadership, not only in industry, but in public affairs."
A liberal education, admittedly proper for students of medi-
cine, law, or theology, is now held to be the best training for
the future leaders in engineering. Education is an opportunity,
nothing more. It cannot of itself make an engineering leader.
To young men possessing the natural characteristics for lead-
ership — high character, integrity, intiative, common-sense, ex-
ecutive ability and resourcefulness — the University must offer
the best educational advantages.
Northeastern University, recognizing its obligation in this
matter, offers in addition to its regular engineering courses an
opportunity for a liberal education which is designed to give
the future engineer the broad training requisite to a successful
career.
33
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
At present, work is offered in literature, public speaking,
ethics, history, government, psychology, business administra-
tion, industrial finance, commercial law, sociology and econom-
ics. These courses are planned to make the engineer articulate,
to acquaint him with the social and industrial conditions which
he must sooner or later face, to give him an understanding of
the principles of business, to familiarize him with some of the
fundamental laws of human behavior, to develop in him a
knowledge of the past as the best guide through the mazes of
present-day Hfe, and to awaken in him the vision of future
possibilities by introducing him to the best thoughts of the
ages.
Purpose of FuR-Time Plan
The courses are planned to broaden the mental horizon of
the student by the analysis and formulation of political, social,
economic and industrial problems. Special emphasis is placed
upon the engineer's relationship to these mooted questions.
Economic and social effects of the engineer's work receive due
consideration. The importance of the human factor in pro-
duction, labor problems, legal relationships, industrial organ-
ization and effective distribution as related to modern individual
and social existence are germane in this schedule. In no case,
however, is it anticipated to devolop expertness along any
particular line. The aim is to arouse interest in these activities.
Specialization is to follow after the student's determination of
his life's work.
Eligibility
Students of the sophomore and junior classes may elect the
full-time plan, except that students electing Option 2 of Cur-
riculums I and II must select full-time courses not included
in Option 2. On this plan, the students attend school three
additional periods of five weeks each year.
Divisions
Students electing this plan are assigned to Division "AA" or
"BB." Division AA men enter the school with Division A
34
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
and take the same work as is oflfered to the co-operative men
for the first five-week period. At the end of that time, when
the Division A men resume co-operative work, the AA men
remain in school taking the first term of the liberal subjects.
At the end of this five-week period, they return to the subjects
of the engineering curriculum. This process is repeated each
ten weeks until the students have had a total of four engineer-
ing periods and three full-time terms. The Division AA men,
therefore, complete their classroom work for the year at the
same time as the Division A men.
Division BB men enter with the men of Division B and
take their co-operative plan subjects together for four altern-
ate five-week periods. In the three intervening five-week terms,
the BB men devote their time to the liberal subjects.
The School Year
The Full-time student, during his sophomore and junior
years, will attend school for thirty-five consecutive weeks be-
ginning in September or October, complete all of the prescribed
engineering curriculum for his department and fifteen weeks of
study in administrative and liberal arts subjects each year. He
will cover all the courses in the engineering curriculum with
either Division A or B and in the five-week periods between the
engineering periods while the co-operative student is at work,
the full-time student will take the courses of administrative
and cultural value. Each year there will be three terms of
five weeks each devoted to such work.
Sophomores and juniors in Division A who elect the Full-
time Plan will return to school September 8 and will complete
their work May 9. Sophomores and juniors in Division B
will return to school October 14 and will complete their work
June 13.
All students, Co-operative as well as Full-time, arc required
to work with co-operative firms during the senior year begin-
ning with the opening of the school year in September.
Training in Administrative Subjects
Each student, electing the Full-time Plan, will be given a
thorough training in the theory of business management, busi-
36
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
ness law, accounting', marketing, etc. The student electing this
plan will receive his degree in one of the four recognized
branches of engineering, assuring him the mastery of his pro-
fessional field. In addition, he will have had instruction in
the problems which confront the executive in business, and thus
will be equipped to assume responsibilities of an administrative
nature.
Broader Liberal Education
A common criticism that the engineer is made narrow by the
strictness of his confinement to technical subjects during his
college course does not apply to the. full-time man, for, in
addition to his professional subjects, he is given an opportunity
to study such subjects as literature, psychology, sociology, etc.
Time for Selecting Plan
Each student must decide definitely at the close of school
each year whether he intends to attend the Engineering School
the following year under the Co-operative or Full-time Plan,
except for the senior year, in which all students attend on the
co-operative plan.
Transfer of Plans
Students pursuing either plan may change from one to the
other only at the beginning of the year except by special per-
mission of the school authorities.
Credit Basis
Two credits are allowed for each full course successfully
pursued for five weeks.
Requirements for Credit
Students electing the full-time plan are required to carry
successfully at least four (4) courses during each of their
full-time terms. A student has the option of electing a fifth
subject. An average minimum of eight (8) credits each five
weeks or twenty-four (24) for the year must be obtained in
the liberal subjects by full-time students.
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
When to Elect FuII-Time Plan
Students planning to avail themselves of the opportunity
aflForded by the full-time plan are urged to take the work of
both the sophomore and junior years. Some students for
financial reasons are unable to pursue this work for more than
one year. In such cases students are advised and urged to
elect the full-time curriculum during the sophomore year. It
will prove advantageous to follow this suggestion.
Opportunity for Work
The student on the Full-time Plan is free for seventeen weeks
each year, from May to September, or from June to October.
This provides an excellent opportunity for him to engage iri
remunerative employment, if he so desires.
Tuition
The tuition for students electing the Full-time Plan is two
hundred twenty-five dollars ($225).
Engineering Practice
Actual experience with co-operating firms is invaluable to
graduates in Engineering. Therefore, the full-time man, as
well as the co-operative student, is required to attend school
during his senior year on the co-operative plan.
Relation of School to Secondary Schools
This School is peculiarly adapted to the high school graduate
with limited financial resources who has the ambition and
ability to get ahead if given the opportunity.
This year the school has a student body made up of gradu-
ates of the following 270 schools:

ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT
Field Instruments of Civil Engineering
For work in the field, the Civil Engineering Department pos-
sesses various surveying instruments, representing the prin-
cipal makes and types in general use.
The equipment includes four surveyor's compasses, two
Keuffel & Esser transits, five Buflf & Buff transits, one Buff &
Buff triangulation transit, two Hutchinson transits, one Poole
transit, two Berger levels, two Keuffel & Esser levels, one
Bausch & Lomb precise level, two Gurley plane tables, two
Buff & Buff plane tables, and two Keuffel & Esser plane tables.
There are Locke hand levels, flag poles, leveling rods, stadia
rods, engineers' and surveyors' chains, steel and metallic tapes,
and all the miscellaneous equipment necessary to outfit the
parties that the instruments will accommodate. The transits
are equipped with neutral glasses and reflectors for astrono-
mical observations. For higher surveying there is an aneroid
barometer for barometric leveling, an Invar tape, a sextant
for hydrographic surveying, and a Gurley electric current
meter for hydraulic measurements.
The extent of the equipment and scope of the field work
itself are designed to train the student's judgment as to the
relative merits of the various types of field instruments.
Mechanical Laboratories
The Mechanical Engineering Department has a well-
equipped laboratory, containing new and up-to-date machines
run by steam, gas, and electricity. A fifty-horsepower uni-
flow engine of the latest design is available for making a com-
plete engine test. This engine is equipped with a prony brake
for measuring the output. A surface condenser is connected
into the line with the engine. A Chicago steam driven air com-
pressor is completely equipped for making tests on both the
steam and air ends of the machine and this is also tied in with
the surface condenser. A Sturtevant air blower, motor driven,
is arranged to run a complete test on. Other steam driven
apparatus includes a steam pulsometer, and steam injector.
41
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Under the hydraulic equipment in the Laboratory may be
listed a triple power pump, motor driven, a hydraulic motor of
the Pel ton Wheel type, a triangular weir for measuring flow
of water besides the necessary tanks and weighing scales.
In addition to the steam driven apparatus and machines for
hydraulic purposes, there is a Gas Laboratory consisting of a
Fairbanks-Morse 10-horsepower oil and gas engine, so set up
that tests may be run using various kinds of fuels and com-
plete test data obtained ; a Ford automobile engine arranged
to run tests with different fuels and carburetors, and a gaso-
line airplane engine for demonstration purposes.
The steam power plant is also available for testing purposes.
The plant is equipped with a flow meter in the feed water line
steam pressure gauges, scales, electrical meters, thermometers,
indicators, Orsat apparatus. CO, recorder and other equip-
ment necessary for complete power plant tests. The
plant consists of four horizontal return tabular boilers
two of which are equipped for burning fuel oil and
two for burning coal ; various auxiliary appliances as feed
water pumps, feed water heater, oil fuel pumps, and separa-
tors ; and four three-wire generators, three of which are driven
by Ridgeway reciprocating steam engines, and the fourth is
direct connected to a Westinghouse Parsons turbine.
This places at the disposal of the students well-equipped,
up-to-date engineering laboratories and enables them to carry
on boiler tests, with both coal and oil as fuel, determine the
eflficiencies of various fuels, determine the efficiency of mod-
ern reciprocating steam engines of different types and test
air compressors, fans, pumps, water wheels and gas engines.
This renders the student familiar with the various auxiliary
appliances of a modem power plant. Apparatus is also avail-
able for slide valve setting, gauge testing, measuring flow of
air, steam, and water. Prony brake testing and determining
the quality of steam by means of a throttling calorimeter.
Electrical Measurements Laboratory
This laboratory is equipped with apparatus of two distinct
types, first that planned fundamentally for teaching the prin-
ciples of measurement and, second, that which is used in
42
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
teaching advanced standardizing methods as well as for keep-
ing the instruments in daily use in the other laboratories, as
well as in the power house, correct or properly calibrated.
It is supplied with two sets of small storage cells for 500-
volt calibration work and a set of 500-ampere-hour cells for
current work.
The apparatus used in the first portion of the work includes
the customary devices used in such work as resistance measure-
ments by Ohm's law, direct deflation and substitution methods,
voltmeter methods for high resistance, insulation resistance,
specific resistance, use of slide wire and Wheatstone bridges,
electrostatic capacity, Poggendorf's method of E. M. F. com-
parison, loop tests for grounds, etc.
For the second type of work there is a Laboratory standard
Wheatstone bridge, two Kelvin bridges one of the self-con-
tained type, a Leeds Northrup make Carey-Foster bridge and
equipment, two potentiometers with auxiliary apparatus of
volt boxes, standard cells, standard shunts of 10, 100, and 500
amperes capacity, a set of resistance standards of Bureau of
Standards and also of Reichsanstalt patterns ; Weston standard
current transformer, Weston Laboratory standard triple range
voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter for alternating current
work and all necessary galvanometers carried on Julius
suspensions.
This summer there has been added, first a complete Reich-
sanstalt daylight type photemeter equipment, and second a
Westinghouse portable oscillograph with full equipment; so
that the Laboratory is now ready for practically any work in
electrical measurements outside the absolute determinations as
carried on in the National standardizing laboratories.
The instrument room is supplied with 54 high grade General
Electric Co. and Weston Electric Instrument Co. alternating
current voltmeters and ammeters with a number of potential
and current transformers, and with 6 polyphase and 10 single-
phase indicating wattmeters each of double current and double
voltage ranges.
For direct current working there are 48 voltmeters (of
triple range) ammeters and millivoltmeters of the above makes.
43
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
There are 30 standard shunts of ranges from 10 to 100 amperes
with uniform drops of 50 millivolts to go with the millivolt-
meters.
There is also a large and varied assortment of auxiliary
equipment such as sliding rheostats for circuit control, loading
resistances, frequency indicators, power factor indicators, etc.
Electrical Engineering Laboratory
This Laboratory also was entirely remodeled during the sum-
mer of 1922. Its floor area was increased by 60 per cent,
and the apparatus re-arranged as well as augmented along
various lines.
It is equipped with 40 generators and motors of different
types, the size and voltage ratings being selected to reduce as
much as possible the risk from high voltage apparatus while
making available to the student commercial apparatus such
that the various quantities it is desired to measure will be of
reasonable dimensions.
Machines from 5 to 25 kilowatt capacity are used principally
for this reason, but also because the student in his Engineering
Practice early comes in contact with large and varied machinery
in power houses and electrical plants generally.
For D. C. working, among others there are two sets of
specially matched direct current 6-kilowatt, 125-volt compound
generators, which will still work as shunt machines. One set
is driven by a large Sprague motor with double extended shaft,
the two generators being tied together by a coupling so that
they may be used for "pump-back" testing. The other pair
are driven individually by 10-kilowatt, 230-volt motors and
used principally for parallel operation and similar work. A
large 230-volt, 12-kw, 200 R. P. M. Sturtevant motor is used
for retardation tests, and an assortment of series, shunt and
compound motors each fitted with brake wheels are used for
routine motor testing.
For A. C. working there is a 15-kw. (80 per cent p. f.)
3-phase 230-volt alternator driven at 60 cycles by a 25 HP
Westinghouse motor, a 7.5 kw. special G. E. machine with
special armature taps so that it may be used as single phase,
two phase, three or six-phase synchronous motor.
44
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Two 12-kvv. (80 per cent p. f.) G. E. machines having each
armature coil tapped out separately also giving the above phase
arrangements, each driven by its own motor and available for
use either as synchronous generators or as motors. A 5 kw.
Holtzer Cabot machine with three rotors, making it available
as either a squirrel cage, wound rotor, or synchronous machine.
A G. E. single phase clutch motor, a type R. I. induction motor,
a Wagner single phase motor; two Wagner motors arranged
for concatenation control, two 5-kw. Holtzer three-phase syn-
chronous converters, and a Westinghouse 7. 5-kw. two-phase
motor.
For transformers there are six single-phase G. E. type H
units wound for 550 volts primary and 220/110 volts secondary.
Two sets of transformers with Scott transformation taps, and
a Type R. O. constant current transformer primary winding
for 220/190 volts and secondary for 6.6 amperes, 310 volts
maximum fitted with a load of 80 candle power 6.6-amperes
60-watt nitrogen filled tungsten lamps, and a pair of 550/220,
110 volts G. E, three-phase transformers of 7.5-kva. capacity.
There is also a full equipment of necessary control and regu-
lating appliances and 18 movable test tables fitted with the
necessary terminals, switches, circuit breakers, etc., for setting
up the various test combinations required from time to time.
Each student when performing an experiment does the com-
plete wiring, no apparatus in the Laboratory being found per-
manently wired up except as to its normal, self-contained
circuits.
The Laboratory equipment is steadily being added to through-
out the school year as the occasion arises so that a complete up-
to-date list can not be given, also because as apparatus becomes
obsolete it is discarded and replaced by the most recent type.
Power is supplied over a special set of feeders, by one or
both of two special units in the power house which when on
Laboratory service are cut clear from any other service what-
soever and potential controlled from the laboratory.
For the second class of tests there are a laboratory standard
Wheatstone bridge, Kelvin bridge, fittings for using the Carey-
46
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Foster method, two Leeds Northrup potentiometers (a high
and lov/ resistance one) with auxihary apparatus as volt
boxes, certified standard cells, standard shunts, standard cur-
rent trans(ormers, Weston Laboratory standard A. C. volt-
meter of triple range, ammeter (also of triple range) wattmeter,
and all necessary reflecting galvanometers carried on Julius
suspensions.
The instrument room is supplied with 48 high grade General
Electric Co. and Weston Electric Instrument Co. alternating
current voltmeters and ammeters with a number of potential
and current transformers, and with 5 polyphase and nine single-
phase indicating wattmeters each of double current and double
voltage ranges.
For direct current working there are 41 voltmeters (of
triple range) ammeters and millivoltmeters of the above makes.
There are 24 standard shunts of ranges from 10 to 100 amperes
with uniform drops of 50 millivolts to go with the millivolt-
meters.
There is also a large and varied assortment of auxiliary
equipment such as sliding rheostats for circuit control, loading
resistances, frequency indicators, power factor indicators, etc.
Chemical Laboratories
The laboratories are arranged in three units, one for each of
the general branches of chemistry ; i. e., inorganic, analytical
and organic. To meet the requirements of the inorganic work,
the equipment has been very carefully selected. The laboratory
for analytical work is well supplied with the usual apparatus,
and also apparatus for special work. Connected with this
laboratory is a modernly equipped balance room.
This special equipment includes a Freas electric drying oven,
a Kimley electro-analysis apparatus, an Emerson bomb calori-
meter, an Arsat apparatus for gas analysis, a Saybolt viscosi-
meter. New York State flash point tester, a Babcock milk
tester, a Hoskins electric combustion furnace and a Shriver
type filter press.
46
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
The laboratory for organic work is especially equipped with
steam lines for distillation purposes, besides the usual steam
baths, drying closets, compressed air lines and hoods. The
common chemicals, including acids, bases and salts, are avail-
able in the laboratories for general use at all times. At the
end of one of the laboratories, conveniently located, is a fully
equipped stock room, from which any other chemical or ap-
paratus can be readily obtained.
Design and Drafting Rooms
The School possesses large, light, and well-equipped drawing
rooms for the carrying on of the designing and drafting which
form so important a part of engineering work. These rooms
are supplied with lockers containing the drawing supplies, and
files containing blue prints, and photographs of machines and
structures that represent the best practice.
Physics Laboratories
The Physics Department has two large laboratories com-
pletely equipped with all necessary apparatus for the experi-
mental work that is required of the students, as well as that
required for lecture demonstration. The apparatus and equip-
ment includes verniers, levels, vacuum pump, spirometer, plani-
meters, spherometers, calorimeters, thermometers, pyrometer,
sonometer, spectroscope, spectrometer, balances, standard gram
weight, lecture table galvanometer, optical disk with all acces-
sories, lenses, photometer, air thermometer, and a full set of
weather bureau apparatus, including barograph, thermograph,
hygrometer, barometer, maximum and minimum thermometers,
etc. These give a wide range to the experimental work that
can be done.
Libraries
Students of the School have available for their use the Uni-
versity Library, which includes a large collection of engineer-
ing texts, reference books, and current periodicals on engineer-
ing and scientific subjects, and also the general library of the
Association.
47
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
All members of the school have the privilege of taking
books from the Boston Public Library, which offers a very
unusual opportunity to our non-resident students. The School
is within easy access to the Public Library, which enables stu-
dents to have unlimited reference to engineering subjects at
any time.
Still other libraries, such as the State Library, the library
of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the library of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences furnish re-enforce-
ment in particular fields.
Equipment for Physical Training
Northeastern has exceptional facilities for all-round physical
training. The gymnasium with its 12-lap running track, three
basketball courts, wrestling, boxing, fencing and special exer-
cise rooms, handball courts and bowling alleys, is one of the
most complete in New England, The natatorium is one of the
best in the country. It is in a .separate building, having a glass
roof, admitting abundant sunlight, and has a continuous supply
of filtered salt water. The tank is 75 feet long and 25 feet
wide. Adjoining the building is a large field equipped for
athletics. Here are four tennis courts, outdoor gymnasium, bas-
ketball court, jumping pits and a track with a 100-yard straight-
away; baseball and football fields. Interclass contests are
arranged in basketball, baseball, tennis, indoor and outdoor
athletics, and swimming. Intercollegiate games and meets are
arranged with the leading colleges in the East.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
General Requirements
To pursue successfully one of the regular curriculums, the
student should have completed a four-year course of study in
an accredited high school of high scholastic standards. The
requirements of age and scholarship are regarded as the mini-
mum and only exceptional circumstances will justify an
abridgment. Parents and guardians should bear in mind that
it is generally of enduring advantage to the student if he does
not enroll under the age of sixteen. Every applicant must
furnish references as to his character and ability. In addition
thereto he must present evidence that it is reasonable to assume
that he will make a success of both his school work and En-
gineering Practice. He must possess mental and physical
ability and a determination to work hard.
Students who have not completed a high school course in
Physics are required to pursue during their freshman year an
extra introductory course in Physics.
Requirements for Admission to the Freshman Class
Students are admitted to the freshman class in all curricu-
lums at the opening of the school year in Septem.ber and at
mid-year. The applicant to be accepted as a regular student
and as a candidate for the degree must present evidence of
graduation from an accredited high school or the equivalent,
and to have included in his course of study five (5) Required
Units and ten (10) of the Elective Units listed below. A unit
is the value attached to a high school subject studied for one
year, four or five periods a week of forty or forty-five min-
utes' duration. Credit in units is never allowed on certificates
of tutors. Certificates of entrance examinations passed for
admission to other colleges and technical schools may be ac-
cepted in lieu of entrance examinations. The Committee on
Admission reserves the right to require a candidate to present
himself for examination in any subject for which the Commit-
tee on Admission is unable to allow unit value. Credits
49
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
offered in fulfillment of the entrance requirements cannot
again be applied in lieu of credits which are ordinarily re-
ceived during the college course. Students who obtain admis-
sion by certificate and later show a marked deficiency in
entrance requirements may be classified with students having
entrance deficiencies.
Entrance conditions may be permitted to the extent of two
units only, a minimum of thirteen units being required for
conditioned admission to the freshman class. Conditions must
be removed previous to taking up junior work.
Specific Requirements for Admission:
The applicant must offer all of the Required Subjects listed
below :
Required Subjects
English 3 Units
Algebra 1 Unit
Geometry 1 Unit
Total 5 Units
A minimum of ten units from the following list of elective
subjects must be offered by the applicant.
Elective Subjects
Trigonometry
Civics
Physics
Chemistry
Zoology
Physical Geography 1
Astronomy 5/2
Mechanical Drawing 54
Manual Training
Physiology
General Science
Bookkeeping
Latin
The school recognizes the fact that other subjects are credited toward
graduation by secondar>- schools. It will, therefore, accept as a part of
the ten units in the elective group certificates for work in such subjects.

Special Students
In exceptional cases students who are not high school grad-
uates may be allowed to enter as special students, but only after
their cases have been favorably passed on by the Committee
on Admission.
Application for Admission
Each applicant for admission to the School is required to fill
out an application blank, whereon he states his previous educa-
tion, as well as the names of persons to whom reference may
be made in regard to his character and previous training.
An application fee of five dollars ($5) is required when the
application is filed. This fee is non-returnable if the applicant
is accepted. If he is rejected, one-half the fee will be returned
upon request.
The last page of this catalog is in the form of an application
blank. It should be filled out in ink and forwarded with the
required five dollar fee to Carl S. Ell, Dean, 316 Huntington
Avenue, Boston, Mass.
Upon receipt of the application, properly filled out, the
School at once looks up the applicant's references and high
school records. When replies have been received to the
various inquiries instituted, the applicant is at once advised
as to his eligibility for admission to the School.
Immediate Assignment to Engineering Practice
If a student, before entering his academic w'ork, wishes to
be assigned by the school to a position, he is required to fill out
a registration card. A payment of forty dollars ($40) on
tuition must be paid before he will be assigned to any position
at Engineering Practice.
Before any student shall be allowed to attend classes, he
shall have made the first tuition payment. This is in addition
to the application fee of five dollars ($5) and all other fees,
and may be paid at any time before school opens.
51
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Subjects for Examination
Applicants who have not satisfactorily passed algebra to
quadratics and plane geometry in their course of study in high
school are required to pass entrance examinations in these
subjects.
By writing the School, prospective applicants may receive
copies of former entrance examinations. These copies are
available for distribution and may be obtained at any time.
Entrance Examinations in Boston
Examinations for admission to the freshman class will be
held at 316 Huntington Avenue in January, June and Septem-
ber of each year.
Students are advised to attend the January or June exam-
inations, if possible, in order that any deficiencies then existing
may be made up in September.
The time of examinations is as follows :
10 a. m. to 12 m., Algebra :
1 :00 p. m. to 3 :00 p. m.. Plane Geometry.
During the current year the examinations will be given on
the following days: January 24, 1924; June 12, 1924; Sept.
4, 1924; January' 22, 1925.
All other examinations by special assignment.
No fees are to be paid at the time of the examination.
Preparatory Schools
Day and evening preparatory schools are conducted in con-
junction with Northeastern University. Students having
entrance conditions, or requiring further preparation for the
entrance examinations, may avail themselves of this opportu-
nity to cover the desired work.
Provisional Acceptance
When, for any reason it is deemed advisable, the School
reserves the right to place any entering student upon a period
of probation, extending from five to twenty weeks. Whether
he shall be removed from probation at the end of this time or
requested to withdraw will be determined by the character of
the work he has accomplished and his conduct during this
probationary period.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
DETAIL SCHOOL INFORMATION
Location
The School is housed in the three buildings of the Asso-
ciation, the Vocational Building on St. Botolph St., in the rear
of the Main Buildings, and the Huntington Building opposite
the Main Buildings.
The buildings are located on Huntington Avenue, just be-
yond Massachusetts Avenue, and are within easy access to the
various railroad stations, and the business and residential sec-
tions. A map is shown opposite page .
Residence
It has been found to be much more satisfactory for the stu-
dent to live within easy access of Boston, especially during
periods in school, than to live out twenty-five or thirty miles.
The saving of time and effort more than offsets any increased
expense.
There are limited accommodations at very moderate rates
in the dormitories. These rooms may be had separately or in
groups with a common reception room. The price varies from
$3.50 per week upwards. Since board costs about $7.50 to
$11.00 per week, a student may obtain room and board for
from $13.00 per week upwards.
Residence in Boston, though not required, is advisable as it
gives the student opportunity to use the college facilities out-
side of class hours, and to confer easily with his instructors
about his college work. It also gives him a wider range in
the choice of a co-operating position, since he can readily re-
port for early work if necessary, which is often impossible
if the student lives at a distance from Boston. Moreover, resi-
dence in Boston gives the student close connection with the
activities of college life.
The School officials have no jurisdiction in the matter of
dormitory assignments. Students should write the General
Activities Department of the Boston Y. M. C. A. for rooms
in the dormitories.
53
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
The General Activities Department of the Y. M. C. A. main-
tains a registry of suitable rooms in the nearby houses for the
convenience of students desiring accommodations outside of
the dormitories.
School Year
The First Semester for Division A begins each year on the
second Monday in September, this constituting the beginning
of the school year for all students. The second Summer Term
for freshmen follows the vacation period and closes the official
school year.
Scliolastic Year for Seniors
Seniors of either division, who are candidates for a degree
in the current year, must have completed all academic work,
theses, regular and special examinations before twelve o'clock
noon of the Saturday next following the close of recitations
for seniors, but in no case will the interval allowed be less than
one week.
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all exercises in the subjects
they are studying unless excused by the Registrar. Students
who are absent from the first school exercise after a holiday
or recess period are required to pay a fine of two dollars
($2.00). Exercises are held, and students are expected to
devote themselves to the work of the School, between 9:00
a. m. and 5 :00 p. m. except for an hour lunch period, on every
week day except Saturday. Saturday classes are held only
between 9 :00 a. m. and 1 :00 p. m.
Four-Year Curriculums
The School offers four-year college curriculums of study,
in co-operation with engineering firms, in the following
branches of engineering, leading to the Bachelor's degree:
1. Civil Engineering.

Students who are registered for more school work than that
prescribed in the catalog for the year in which they are en-
rolled, are charged one dollar and seventy-five cents ($1.75) an
hour per semester. In computing additional hours, the catalog
schedules are used and both hours of exercises and hours of
preparation are counted.
Failure to make the required payments on time, or to ar-
range for such payments, is considered sufficient cause to bar
the student from classes or suspend him from Engineering
Practice until the matter has been adjusted with the Bursar.
Membership in the Y. M. C. A.
The yearly tuition fee includes membership in the Boston
Y. M. C. A. This fee is not included in the tuition for
special summer term students.
LABORATORY FEES AND DEPOSITS
Chemical Laboratorv
All students taking chemical laboratory work are required
to make a deposit of ten dollars ($10) at the beginning of
each year, from which deductions are made for breakage,
rentals, and destruction of apparatus in the laboratory. Any
unused portion of this deposit will be returned to the student
at the end of the school year. In case the charge for such
breakage, rentals or destruction of apparatus is more than ten
dollars ($10), the student will be charged the additional a-
mount.
56

use or carelessness of any kind on the part of students. In
such case the repair cost will be assessed equally upon the mem-
bers of the group concerned.
Physics Laboratory
Students taking courses in the physics laboratory will be
charged a laboratory fee of $2.00 per year.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Student Activities Fee
Each student in the School is charged a Student Activities
Fee of fifteen dollars ($15). Freshman pay $10 of this fee
at the time of registration and $5 with the second payment
on tuition. Upperclassman pay five dollars ($5) of this fee
at the time of each of the first three payments on tuition.
This fee supports certain student activities, and includes mem-
bership in the Northeastern Engineering Athletic Association,
subscription to the Northeastern Tech, the school paper, and
subscription to the Cauldron, the college year book. The
services of a physician are also available under this fee. Only
minor ailments, however, are treated. Should the student
show signs of more serious illness, he is immediately advised
to consult a specialist or return to his home, where he can
get more adequate treatment.
Payments
All payments should be made to Galen D. Light, Bursar.
All checks should be made payable to The Bursar, North-
eastern University.
Refunds
The College assumes the obligation of carrying the student
throughout the year. Instruction and accommodations are pro-
vided on a yearly basis, therefore no refunds are granted ex-
cept in cases where students are compelled to withdraw on
account of personal illness.
Books and Supplies
All supplies may be purchased from the University Book
Store at a cost of twenty (20) to thirty (30) dollars per year.
Supplies for the freshman year aggregate somewhat more be-
cause a set of drawing instruments must be obtained. The
earnings of the students for their services with the co-operat-
ing firms considerably exceed the cost of tuition, fees, the
cost of books and supplies, and incidental expenses. The
purchase of supplies is therefore not a burden to the student.

Students' Self-Help
Students who find it necessary to accept part-time jobs,
while attending school, may through the Engineering Practice
Department obtain part-time work doing odd jobs.
59
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Elective Subjects
Students electing courses not included in their curriculum
will be required to take all examinations in such courses and
to attain a passing grade in it before they will be eligible for a
degree.
Status of Students
The ability of students to continue their courses is deter-
mined by means of classroom work and examinations, but
regularity of attendance and faithfulness to daily duties are
considered equally essential.
When a student elects a curriculum, he is required to com-
plete all courses included therein in order to graduate. No
subject is to be dropped, or omitted, without the consent of the
Committee on Scholarship and the approval of the Dean.
Any student failing to make a satisfactory record, either in
school or practical work, may be removed from his position in
practical work, or from the School.
Students transferring from approved colleges will be ad-
mitted to advanced standing provided their record warrants
such a procedure. Whenever a student enters with advanced
standing and later proves to have inadequate preparation in
any of his pre-requisite subjects, the faculty reserves the right
to require the student to repeat in class the subjects in question.
A special student is permitted, subject to the approval of
the faculty, to register for and take such courses as the school
offers. However, special students are not eligible for a degree.
Examinations
Examinations covering the work of the term are usually
held at the close of each temi. Exceptions may be made in
certain courses where, in the opinion of the instructor, exam-
inations are not necessary.
Condition examinations will be given in all subjects during
the week of July 7. 1924, and the week of September 2. 1924.
Condition examinations are not given for courses in which no
final examination was given.
60
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Special examinations may be arranged for only by vote of
the Committee on Scholarship, and for all such examinations
the college requires the payment of a special fee of five
dollars ($5).
Probation
Students are placed on probation either by the Executive
Committee or the Committee on Scholarship. Failure to show
proper respect for constituted authority ; infringement of the
rules and regulations of the college; disregard of obligations
to a co-operating firm, etc., constitute insubordination. All
matters of insubordination are handled by the Executive Com-
mittee and the penalty for such may be probation or expulsion
from the University.
Failure to meet the standards set by the Committee on Schol-
arship, unless the failure is supported by causes wholly beyond
the student's control, will necessitate the Committee placing the
student on probation.
Removal from probation is in the hands of the committee
placing the student thereon.
Rules of Standing in Scholarship
A student's grade is officially recorded by letters and per-
centages, as follows:
A, excellent, 90-100 per cent.
B, good, 80-89 per cent.
C, fair, 70-79 per cent.
D, passable, 60-69 per cent.
F. Failure, work unsatisfactory, 40-59 per cent.
FF, complete failure, below 40 per cent.
I, incomplete.
A mark of F in any particular subject entitles the student
to make up the unsatisfactory work, or to take a condition
examination. This letter is given for all grades below 60 per
cent on intermediate reports.
A mark of FF denies the privilege of taking a condition
examination, and the course must be repeated.
61
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
A mark of I is used for intermediate grades only and sig-
nifies that the course may not have progressed sufficiently far
to give a grade or that the student has not had time to make up
work lost through excusable enforced absences from class.
A student who does not remove a condition before that
course is again scheduled a year later must repeat the course.
A condition in more than one subject involves the loss of the
privilge of being a candidate for graduation with the student's
class, and may involve the loss of assignment to Engineering
Practice.
The responsibility for the removal of a condition rests with
the student, who is required to ascertain when and how the
condition can be removed.
No student may qualify as a candidate for a degree in any
given year unless clear in all the required subjects of the lower
years of his chosen curriculum. He must also be in good
standing in all courses for which he is enrolled.
Entrance requirements or preparatory subjects pursued in
the School are considered as required school work.
Absences
No "cuts" are allowed. A careful record of each student's
attendance upon class exercises is kept. Absence from regu-
larly scheduled exercises in any subject will seriously affect the
standing of the student. It may cause the removal of the
subject or subjects from his schedule and the listing of these
as conditioned subjects. In case he presents a reasonable ex-
cuse for the absence, however, he may be allowed to make
up the time lost and be given credit for the work ; but he must
complete the work at such time and in such manner as his
instructor in the course may designate.
Laboratory work can be made up only when it is possible
to do so during hours of regularly scheduled instruction. Ab-
sences from exercises immediately preceding or following a
recess are especially serious and entail severe penalties.
Attendance at all mass meetings of the student body is
compulsory. Exceptions to this rule are made only when the
62
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
student has received permission from the Director of Student
Activities, previous to the meeting from which he desires to be
absent.
Report Cards
Reports are issued four times a year, one at the end of
each five-week school period. In addition, a special report on
the subjects pursued during the summer term will be issued
immediately at its close. Questions relative to grades are to
be discussed with the student's faculty adviser.
Students are constantly warned and advised to maintain a
grade of work which is of acceptable quality. Parents and
students are always welcomed by the Dean, the Registrar, and
advisers for conference upon such matters. Special reports
on a student's work will be sent to parents at the end of each
five-week school period.
Parents or guardians will be notified in all cases when
students are advised or required to withdraw from the School.
Conduct
It is assumed that students come to the School for a serious
purpose, and that they will cheerfully conform to such regu-
lations as may from time to time be made. In case of injury
to any building, or to any of the furniture, apparatus, or other
property of the School, the damage will be charged to the
student or students known to be immediately concerned;
but if the persons who caused the damage are unknown, the
cost for repairs may be assessed equally upon all the students
of the School.
Students are expected to observe the accepted rules of deco-
rum, to obey the regulations of the School, and to pay due
respect to its officers. Conduct inconsistent with the general
good order of the School, or persistent neglect of work, if
repeated after admonition, may be followed by dismissal, or,
in case the offense be a less serious one the student may be
placed upon probation. The student so placed upon probation
may be dismissed if guilty of any further oflFense.
63
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
It is desired to administer the discipline of the School so
as to maintain a high standard of integrity and a scrupulous
regard for truth. The attempt of any student to present, as
his own, any work which he has not performed, or to pass any
examination by improper means, is regarded as a most serious
offense, and renders the offender liable to immediate expulsion.
The aiding and abetting of a student in any dishonesty is also
held to be a grave breach of discipline.
Advisers
Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who takes an
active interest in the student's welfare, guiding and assisting
him in the satisfactory pursuit of his studies, keeping close
watch on all matters which tend to hamper the student in his
College life and preventing such in so far as possible.
The function of the adviser to upperclassmen is somewhat
different and tends more toward consultation and suggestion
bearing on the student's plans and probable work after gradu-
ation.
Men engaged in student activities are assigned to special
advisers, who keep a constant watch over the academic prog-
ress of the student.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
A moderate participation in social and athletic activities is
encouraged by the Faculty, although a standard of scholarship
which is incompatible with excessive devotion to such pursuits
is required of all students.
Student Activities Committee
This committee, consisting of students elected from the
various classes, has general supervision over all social func-
tions of the School. It also aims to further the interests of
such organizations as the orchestra, band, glee and banjo clubs,
chess club, radio club, and other groups which do not come
under the jurisdiction of any special body. The committee has
opened a Student Activities Room, a club room for all mem-
bers of the School. Here the various clubs may hold their
meetings, and the individual may spend his time outside of
class room either in study or recreation. In order to provide
for the social intercourse of the students, as well as to enable
the men in the different divisions to meet one another, socials
and entertainments are held at such times as are convenient
for all to attend.
The Northeastern University Athletic Association
The Athletic Association consists of all students in the
Schools of Engineering and Business Administration.
At the head of the Association is the General Athletic Com-
mittee, consisting of certain members of the Faculty and the
student officers of the Athletic Association, the latter elected
from the student body. This committee has charge of the
administration of athletics subject to the approval of the
Faculty Committee on Athletics.
Under the guidance of efficient athletic coaches track basket-
ball, and baseball teams are formed. Schedules are arranged
with other colleges for home games and games abroad. The
association also encourages soccer, wrestling, swimming, in-
terclass baseball, and tennis teams. Interclass and interdivi-
sion meets are held during the year.
65
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Mass Meeting
Every Friday, from 12 to 1, Mass Meetings are held
Attendance at these meetings is compulsory. The second and
fourth Mass Meetings of each five week period are, as a rule
devoted to a lecture by some prominent visitor. The first,
third, and fifth Mass Meetings of each period are devoted to
Student Activities. For special Lectures 1924-1925 see page 17.
??
The "Northeastern Tech
The students issue a weekly paper called the N ortheastern
Tech. Here the students have an opportunity to express their
opinions on subjects relating to study, engineering practice,
social events, or topics of the day. In addition, college news,
editorials, and official announcements make this feature of
activities very valuable. Positions on the editorial and busi-
ness staffs of the paper are attained by competitive work.
"The Cauldron"
"The Cauldron" is the year book of the School. The Senior
Class is responsible for its publication, the members of the
staff are chosen through competitive work. The book is ready
for distribution in the latter part of the second semester. It
contains the usual review of the year's work and activities, a
complete history of all classes in the School, all their functions,
socials, pictures, etc. It also contains a complete biographical
sketch of each member of the graduating class, therefore is a
souvenir highly prized in later years by graduates.
The Handhook
Issued at the beginning of each year, the purpose of the
Handbook is to help promote an early intimacy with the
scope of college life. The book is of special interest to new
men as it contains detailed information concerning all the
organizations of the School. Schedules, a daily diary, songs,
cheers, and important dates in the college calendar make the
book of great value to upperclassmen.
66

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Student Activities Fund Committee
In order to help finance the foregoing student activities, a
Student Activities Fund Committee has been formed, con-
sisting of the Chairman of the Student Activities Committee,
the Editor-in-Chief of The Northeastern Tech, and the Presi-
dent of the Athletic Association. Members of the faculty in-
terested in these branches of the activities are also on this
committee. The Committee apportions the Student Activities
fee among the various activities.
Student Council
This is the student governing body, and comprises the lead-
ers of the various classes, organizations, clubs, and teams.
It acts as a supreme student governing body. It has jurisdic-
tion, under proper supervision of the Faculty, over all student
matters, such as customs, privileges, or such other matters
which can properly be decided upon by such a body.
The Senate
The Senate is an honorary society composed of men who
have shown exceptional ability both by high scholastic stand-
ing and a live interest in student activities.
The Inter-Fraternity Council
Elected representatives from each fraternity, as well as a
non-fraternity representative from each division, make up the
Inter-Fraternity Council. This body has preliminary juris-
diction over laws governing the regulation of fraternities and
clubs in the School.
Professional Societies
The students in the various curriculums are organized as a
professional siciety, known as the Northeastern University
Engineering Society, for the closer association of the students
of the school, and for the discussion and consideration of
various problems and new knowledge in the engineering field,
which would not ordinarily come into their regular courses.
67
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Meetings are held every week at which the society is addressed
by members of the society and by engineers of prominence.
There are four sections of the society, the Civil, Mechanical,
Electrical, and Chemical Engineering Sections. These sections
are affiliated either by individual membership or as a section
with the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers, and the American Chemical Society,
thereby procuring for the individual that most valuable asso-
cation with the successful practicing engineers of the com-
munity, and the various problems discussed by them.
Annual Prizes
Prizes are awarded annually for excellence in the various
departments of school activities. Such prizes should stimulate
the interest of the student to attain a high proficiency in some
branch of undergraduate endeavor.
Public Speaking
Cash prizes of fifty, twenty-five, and ten dollars respectively
are ofl^^ered yearly for excellence in the presentation of orig-
inal speeches before the School at a regular student mass
meeting. All students are eligible to compete for these prizes.
The regulations for the contests are published in the Nortlt-
eastern Tech early in the year.
Engineering Conferences
The Department of Engineering Practice awards annually
silver trophy cups to two men in each of the professional de-
partments who deliver the best addresses upon engineering
topics before regular meetings of the engineering society. All
regular juniors and seniors are eligible to compete for these
cups.
The Boston Y. M. C. A.
Northeastern University is conducted by the Boston Y. M.
C.A., and though non-sectarian, it is thoroughly Christian in
68
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
character. Students are encouraged to participate in the ac-
tivities of the Student Christian Association of the University,
so far as is consistent w^ith their own particular religious
beliefs. However, a student should not hesitate about enter-
ing the School because of religious faith, no attempt being
made to influence one to participate in activities which are con-
trary to the tenets of his particular religion.
The Northeastern Christian Association
The purpose of the Northeastern Christian Association is to
deepen the spiritual lives of Northeastern men through the
building of Christian character, to create and promote a strong
and effective Northeastern University spirit in and through a
unified student body, to promote sociability within the school
and to emphasize certain ethical, social, civic, intellectual, eco-
nomic, physical, vocational and avocational values.
Any man of good moral character, who is either a student
in regular standing or a member of the faculty of Northeastern
University, is eligible to membership in the society. It is hoped
that as many students as can do so will participate in its ac-
tivities.
Social Science Club
This club is organized for the purpose of bringing before
the student body men conspicuous in the various branches of
the social sciences. The talks are open to all members of the
school body.
Northeastern University Club
The Northeastern University Club of Boston was organized
in the spring of 1921, with graduates of the Schools of Law,
Commerce and Finance, and Engineering as charter members.
The purpose of the Club is to promote social activities among
the alumni of Northeastern University; to perpetuate the
Northeastern spirit in the business life of the community; to
give to their Alma Mater the benefit of the experience of the
alumni in the school and of their experience in business and
professional activities since their graduation.
69
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
The Qub has a suite of rooms at the Hotel Bellevue which
is well adapted for conferences, social events and furnishes a
meeting place for the alumni.
Any man of good character, twenty-one years of age or
over, who is a graduate of any of the Schools of Northeastern
University granting a degree or who has attended such schools
for a period of two full years is eligible for membership.

70
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
The School grants the degrees of:
Bachelor of Civil Engineering.
Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering.
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering.
Bachelor of Chemical Engineering.
To receive a degree in engineering the student must be a
resident of the School for at least one year, immediately pre-
ceding the date on which he expects to graduate. He must
complete the prescribed studies of the four years, and pass
final examinations, if required, on subjects included in his
curriculum. In addition to this, he must complete satisfactorily
a schedule of Engineering Practice under the supervision of
the Faculty. The student must, also, prepare a thesis as de-
fined elsewhere in this catalog. All theses and records of
work done in preparation of theses, are the permanent property
of the School.
The credits required for the degree are as follows :
Engineering curriculum _ _ _ - 164 credits
Engineering Practice or General Subjects
during sophomore and junior years - - 48 credits
Engineering Practice during senior year - 20 credits
Total credits required for degree - - 232
All subjects in the engineering curriculum are required.
One hundred and sixty-four credits are granted for the satis-
factory completion of the equivalent of this curriculum.
Twenty-four credits are granted for the satisfactory comple-
tion of one year's work at Engineering Practice during each
of the sophomore and junior years, and 20 credits for work
during the senior year. Two credits are granted for the
satisfactory completion of each of the general subjects which
are offered on the full-time plan. Credits are granted only
at the close of the school year.
The degree of the School represents not only the formal
completion of the subjects in the selected course of study, but
also the attainment of a satisfactory standard of general
71
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
efficiency. Any student who does not show in the fourth-year
work of his curriculum that he has attained such a standard,
may be required, before receiving the degree, to take such
additional work as shall prove his ability. A fee of $10 is
required of all candidates for a degree. This fee must be
paid at the beginning of the second semester.
Positions Held By Graduates
The graduates of the School have been able to secure posi-
tions of the same grade, commanding the same salaries, as the
graduates of other technical schools. Graduates of the school
now occupy positions as construction engineers, power plant
engineers, electrical engineers, designing draftsmen. State and
Federal employees under Civil Service, and instructors. The
success of those who have been graduated from the School is
the best evidence of the value and thoroughness of the train-
ing offered.
72 i
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
PROGRAM OF STUDIES
General Statement
The Engineering and Full-time curriculums are given on
the following pages. The first year, it will be observed, is
practically the same in all curriculums. A few exceptions
are made where students need special elementary training in
their professional subjects, in order to be of more service
to their employers while on Engineering Practice.
The regular school year comprises two terms of ten weeks,
with an additional period of four weeks for freshmen. The
first ten-week term for each division is called the First Sem-
ester; the second ten weeks, the Second Semester; and the ad-
ditional four-week period for freshmen, the Summer Term.
Three additional periods of five weeks each are required
of students on the full-time plan. These periods are known
as First, Second and Third Terms, and occupy the intervals
between the regular engineering terms. (See page 82)
In the following tabular summary of curriculums (P. 74-82)
each course is followed by two numbers : the first under the
column marked "CI," indicates the number of class hours of
recitation, laboratory, drawing room, or field work a week ;
the second number, under the column marked "Out" indi-
cates the number of hours of "outside preparation" that have
been assigned as the minimum weekly requirement for each
course. The work is so planned that the student will be re-
quired to spend from forty-eight to fifty-two hours per school
week in preparation and class work.
The number preceding each course is a subject index num-
ber referring to the Synopsis of Courses, beginning on page
(84.)
Those courses preceding by indicate general subjects.
The work which is under the direction of the General Depart-
ments is designated as follows: 01. Department of English;
such as 02, Department of Mathematics ; 03, Department of
Physics ; and 04, Department of Drawing, etc.
The subject numbers beginning with 1 indicate subjects
pertaining strictly to the Department of Civil Engineering ;
subject numbers beginning with 2, to the Department of Me-
chanical Engineering ; 3, to the Department of Electrical En-
gineering; 4, to the Department of Chemical Engineering; and
5, to Administrative Engineering.
73
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
CIVIL ENGINEERING
The Civil Engineering curriculum is designed to give the
student a thorough foundation in those subjects which form
the basis of a technical engineering education, and special
training in those subjects comprised under the term "Civil
Engineering." The student receives theoretical and practical
training in the sciences upon which professional practice is
based.
Civil Engineering covers such a broad field that no one
can become expert in its whole extent. It includes topograph-
ical engineering, municipal engineering, railroad engineering,
structural engineering, and hydraulic and sanitary engineering.
It covers land surveying, the building of railroads, harbors,
docks, and similar structures ; the construction of sewers, water-
works, roads and streets ; the design and construction of gir-
ders, roofs, trusses, bridges, buildings, walls, foundations, and
all fixed structures. All of these branches of engineering rest,
however, upon the relatively compact body of principles, and
in these principles the students are trained by practice in the
class room, drawing room, the field, and the testing laboratory.
The curriculum is designed to prepare the young engineer
to take up the work of design and construction of structures,
to aid in the location and construction of steam and elec-
tric railways, and to undertake intelligently supervision of
work in the allied fields of mining, architectural, and electrical
engineering, and general contracting.

CURRICULUM II. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Mechanical Engineering Curriculum is designed to give
the student a broad foundation in those fundamental sub-
jects which form the basis for all professional engineering
practice, and especially to equip the young engineer with a
knowledge of the various phases of Mechanical Engineering.
The curriculum embraces instruction by text-book, lecture,
laboratory, and workshop practice, with special reference to
the following branches : applied mechanics, heat engineering,
industrial engineering, hydraulic engineering, applied electri-
city, machine design and experimental engineering.
The instruction aims to develop in the student the ability
to think clearly and logically in the application of fundamental
principles to engineering problems. The class-room work in
the professional subjects is arranged with due regard to mod-
ern industrial conditions, in order that the student may con-
nect theory with practice and appreciate the necessity of both
in order to become a successful engineer. With this in view,
special courses are given involving a discussion of problems
which have presented themselves to the students and requiring
a familiarity with the contents of current engineering periodi-
cals. At all times it is sought to develop self-confidence in the
student, and he is encouraged to take the initiative.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Probably none of the branches of scientific knowledge has
been so markedly modified during the past decade as that
relating to Electricity, nor has any other exerted such a pro-
found influence upon the scientific thought of the period. A
science, like a planet, grows in the main by a process of in-
finitesimal accretion. Its theory is built like a cathedral through
additions by many builders of many diflferent elements, and
this is pre-eminently true of Electricity. It is absolutely essen-
tial that the electrical engineer who hopes to make a success
of his work should be able to grasp readily and absorb effec-
tively the meaning and content of the many scientific memoirs
recording the results of research bearing upon and directly
influencing his chosen branch of engineering.
He must have a thorough appreciation of physical theory,
a clear understanding of chemical principles, and a broad work-
ing knowledge of mathematics. It is essential that each student
planning to take this curriculum should realize the fundamental
necessity of obtaining a solid grounding in these three sub-
jects upon w'hich the success of his future work will definitely
hinge, nor can he be too strongly urged to include physics in
his high school preparatory course if he hopes to avoid diffi-
culty in the earlier years.
It is not the purpose of the curriculum to attempt the im-
possible in aiming to turn out electrical engineers, fully trained
in all branches of the science, especially as it is becoming
daily more diflferentiated and specialized. The curriculum is
designed rather to lay a broad and secure foundation for future
progress along the lines of activity which may particularly
appeal to each individual student and give him a good working
knowledge of the essential principles which underlie each of
the more specialized branches of professional w'ork.
Parallel with the theoretical work runs a carefully planned
course of laboratory instruction which is intended to develop
the student's power of accurate observation, of planning work
and methods of procedure for himself with due regard to
saving of time and labor and precision of the results attained.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
"The Chemical Engineer is a professional man experienced
in the design, construction and operation of plants, in which
materials undergo chemical and physical change."
It is only within the last decade that the chemical industrial
enterprises have realized that the design, construction and
operation of the chemical plants should be placed in the hands
of men who are familiar with the chemical phases of the
plant.
The purpose of this curriculum is to train students so that
they might be prepared to fill the demand for men competent
to build and operate manufacturing industries, based upon
chemical principles at their maximum efficiency. The profes-
sional work of the curriculum falls naturally into three groups :
First, courses which provide a knowledge of the fundamental
principles of chemistry. Second, those courses which furnish
a knowledge of mechanical engineering. Third, engineering
practice in which the student becomes familiar with the many
applications of theoretical principles.
The laboratory work has been planned not only to famil-
iarize the student with many types of chemical compounds
and apparatus, but also to train the student to be an exact
and logical thinker, and to encourage a desire for the appli-
cation of his knowledge and training to the investigation and
solution of the many problems which modern industry pre-
sents.

SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION
Instruction is given through lectures and recitations, by
practical exercises in the field, in the laboratories, and in the
drawing rooms. These exercises are of great educational
value, therefore form the foundation of each of the four cur-
riculums. In many branches the instruction given differs
widely from available texts in which cases notes on the lec-
tures and laboratory work are usually issued to the students.
Besides oral examinations in connection with the ordinary
exercises, written examinations are held from time to time.
In the following pages will be found a more or less detailed
statement of the scope of the subjects offered in the various
curriculums. The subjects are classified, as far as possible,
related studies being arranged in sequence. The subjects are
numbered for convenience in consulting the various curricu-
lums. A complete table of the Subjects of Instruction will
be found at the end of the catalog. Under each subject is
given a list of the courses required as pre-requisite for that
subject. These requirements are vital to a clear comprehension
of the advanced work. In some cases, the required prepara-
tion may be taken simultaneously but must be completed before
further advanced work is undertaken.
Students electing a subject must complete that subject
in order to be considered as a candidate for a degree.
By careful consideration of the curriculums, in connection
with the following Synopses of Courses, the applicant for a
special curriculum may select, for the earlier part of that
curriculum, such subjects as will enable him to pursue later
those more advanced subjects which he may particularly desire.
Applications for exception from the required preparation as
stated in connection with each subject described below, will
be passed on by the Faculty.
The topics included in the list which follows are subject to
change at any time by action of the School authorities.
83
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
SYNOPSES OF COURSES
In the following synopses under each course, "curriculums"
refers to the four principal curriculums of Civil I, Mechanical
II, Electrical III, and Chemical IV. In the case of curricu-
lums I and II two options are open to the students, the straight
Engineering option, which is designated by a subscript 1 on
the curriculum number, and the Administrative option, which
is designated by a subscript 2. For example, I^ refers to
option 1 of Curriculum I. "Full-time" following the word
curriculum indicates that the course is open only to students
admitted to the full-time plan. The courses themselves are
arranged in groups according to the departments in which the
course is given.
The "year" refers to the time when the subject is ordinarily
taken under the regular schedule, "both semesters" referring
to both the First and Second Semesters, and "Summer Term"
referring to the four-week term starting in June or in August.
"Preparation" gives the courses by number which the stu-
dent must have taken previously to the advanced courses, un-
less stated exceptions are made in which case both courses
may be carried simultaneously. Under the number of "hours
per week," "CI" refers to the hours of class room or labora-
tory work and "Out" to the hours of outside preparation. The
main body of the synopsis shows in a brief form the ground
covered by the course. At the end of the synopsis is given
the names of the instructors for that particular subject; the
first named being in charge.

The theory and practice of government in the existing forms
of national organization in the United States and Great Britain.
The relations between the executive, the legislature, and the
judiciary will form the basis of investigation. In the lectures
additional illustrative material will be taken from France,
Switzerland, and Canada. It is hoped that the men will look
on the study of government, not as academic but as practical,
through constant reference to contemporary men and affairs.

The connecting link between the industry and the class room.
The third and fourth-year men of each curriculum meet in
four separate groups for nine of the ten meetings, during each
period. Each student, in turn, gives a thirty to forty-five
minute talk on some particular topic of engineering interest.
This talk becomes the subject of discussion by the whole
class, and the problem is considered in as much detail as seems
best to the instructor.
For the tenth meeting of each period all courses meet to-
gether in Bates Hall and hear some speaker on a technical sub-
ject of live interest to all engineering students.
The marks for the reports written each period while at work,
and the marks for the individual talks, are averaged in due
proportion to find the grade due the student.

052-1 THESIS
Ciurriculums : All
Fourth year, hoth semesters
Preparation: Technical subjects
One hour per week
Each student who is a candidate for graduation must, dur-
ing his senior year, prepare and present a thesis, the satisfac-
tory completion of which is a pre-requisite for receiving a
degree from the School of Engineering. By "thesis" is meant
an essay involving the statement, analysis, and solution of some
problem in pure or applied science. Its purpose is to demon-
strate a satisfactory degree of initiative and a power of
original thought and work on the part of each candidate for
an engineering degree.
The subject of the thesis is to be decided in conference be-
tween the candidate and that faculty member of the profes-
sional department to whom he is assigned for supervision in
thesis work, final approval, however, resting with the head of
the department. This subject may be one of structural design,
research, testing, study of a commercial process, etc., but in
no case would a mere resume of prior knowledge and a dis-
cussion of the present state of the matter be acceptable. This,
it is true, must normally be made, but in addition thereto there
must be a certain amount of work planned and executed, aimed
toward the extension of the present field of information as
regards the subject chosen.
In many cases the student presents an individual thesis.
However, in nearly equal number, acceptable subjects will be
found necessitating the co-operation of at least two men, either
of the same or sometimes of different professional departments.
In such cases, each man is primarily responsible for a certain
part of the work, while also making himself wholly familiar
with the entire problem ; and the completed thesis must show
clear evidence of the evenly-balanced co-operation and labor
of the men concerned.
The completed thesis will be examined for acceptance or
rejection from the technical viewpoint by the professional de-
partments interested, and then forwarded to the Dean's office,
the final approval of the thesis resting with the Dean.
Upon acceptance, the thesis becomes the property of the
School of Engineering, together with all apparatus and material
98
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
used in connection therewith, except that hired or borrowed, or
which was already the personal property of the candidate. It
is not to be printed, published, nor in any other way made pub-
lic except in such manner as the professional department and
the Dean shall jointly approve.
For all further information, the candidate for the degree is
referred to the "Directions for Theses," which he must obtain
from his professional department at the beginning of his senior
year.
The arrangement of hours shown in the curriculums may
be varied to suit the requirements of each department.

Curriculums: All Preparation:
First year, both semesters Two hours per week
All first-year students are required to take Physical Train-

but by obedience to natural laws. It is very essential for the
student to acquire good habits of life. The work in the gym-
nasium is of the body building type, with plenty of competition.
Regular classes in calisthenics are held under an able physical
instructor.
Students who are members of the varsity squad in any of
the major sports may be excused from Physical Training upon
petition to the Faculty, providing the petition is supported by
the certification of the athletic coach and physical director.
Upon petition of a student to be excused from Physical Train-
ing, owing to physical disability, favorable action will be taken
by the Faculty only when said petition is accompanied by a
physician's certificate, verifying the disability.

FOREWORD
The Student and the School
Northeastern University recognizes and stresses the fact that the
student of business is going to be not only a business man, but also a
business man keen enough to understand that for his highest success he
must perform his duties as a citizen.
The following recommendation from a master in one of the Bos-
ton Schools concerning a student in the School of Business Adminis-
tration describes the type of manhood which Northeastern University
seeks :
"In all my twenty years' teaching experience, I have never seen a
better boy. I would trust him with anything. I would employ him in
anv capacity. There are very few boys to-day that I would be willing
to say that of. I can not recommend him too highly."
Personal efficiency— skill, knowledge, ability that commands re-
spect; power which directs business, upbuilds communities, enriches
life for others — that strength of mind and Christian character the
School of Business Administration stresses above all else in the life of
every student who comes under its influence.
Students who lend themselves willingly to such an influence con-
stitute the bulk of the student-body. The School will continue select-
ing that type for its enrolment.
UNIVERSITY INFLUENCE IN COMMERCE
AND INDUSTRY
In unusual periods of rapid business expansion highly capable
men working up from the bottom may reach the station of executive
control in a comparatively short time. But in the normal run of busi-
ness, for the untrained man, the road from first employment to the
executive desk is long and uncertain in spite of the fact that business
increasingly needs capable executives. Statistics show that about
ninety per cent of college-trained business men rise to large-salaried,
responsible positions, in contrast to twenty-five per cent of the non-
college-trained. The reasons for this marked difference appear in the
following sections:
/. Breakdown of the Apprenticeship System
Before the Industrial Revolution, when business was less complex,
men were not professionally trained for commerce but came to under-
stand "a business" rather than "business as a whole." This under-
standing came not through scientific analysis of fundamental principle?
but through mastery of detail in a particular organization by a long
and slow progress gained from a succession of minor positions. Such
apprenticeship methods were adequate to provide leaders in a period
when business itself groped its way in the same trial and error fashion.
//. Modern Business Demands Upon Executives
But everywhere to-day business men are compelled to seek a more
fundamental knowledge of their problems. Just as in the professions
of law and medicine, executives are demanding higher standards of
training in their employees, because certain basic principles have
gained recognition as controlling factors. Mere knowledge of facts
and mere acquaintance with detail may prove adequate for mechanical
phases of business; but broad knowledge of universal principles and
ability to apply these are unfailingly demanded of the executive who
is to control production, distribution, or administrative policies.
///. University Education in Commerce
Business Schools are essentially the same as other professional
schools such as those of law, medicine, and engineering. University
instruction in the science of business has narrowed the wide gap be-
tween employee and executive. University instruction in business has
passed the uncertain period of experiment; it has demonstrated con-
cretely the fact that through such instruction young men can master
details of business more quickly than they otherwise could, at the same
time getting a grasp upon basic principles impossible to gain readily
except through university training.
Ex-president Eliot of H^arvard, speaking of business education
some years ago, said: "I believe commerce and industry in their
higher ranges to be eminently intellectual pursuits, and I know of no
other intellectual calling for which a professional school is not now
10
provided. To deny that young men may be systematically trained for
industry and commerce is to assert that industry and commerce are
merely imitative arts to be acquired only by seeing other people do the
tricks and then practicing them. In industry and commerce all things
are become new; and new methods of preparing young men for these
occupations must be invented with discriminating foresight, established
with prudence, and maintained with liberality."
All these facts do not mean that graduates of the college of busi-
ness administration will at once be able to assume important adminis-
trative positions. These graduates must continue to work hard, study
hard, and plan hard ; but because of their intimate knowledge of fun-
damentals and of interlocking factors in business — Economics, Busi-
ness Cycles, Corporation Finance, Factory Administration, Accounting,
Commercial Law, Production, Distribution, Advertising, Sales Man-
agement — they can forge ahead more rapidly into the executive rank.
The reason is patent. Intricacy of organization and complexity of
operation of the present day business render it increasingly difficult
for experience alone to provide that broad perspective of organiza-
tion as a whole, which clarifies the functions, principles, and policies
of administration. This broad perspective demands not mere facts,
but also an attitude of mind — that executive power which can initiate
plans and put them into effective operation. In plain words, that point
of view and that habit of mind characteristic of sound executive think-
ing and judgment result not so surely from experience in details as
from thorough knowledge of universal principles. Business leader-
ship demands precisely that executive attitude of mind; the Univer-
sity purposes to develop it.
"It used to be the fashion to study medicine by cleaning the doc-
tor's horse and buggy, grinding his drugs, and driving him around to
make his calls; and the study of law by copying deeds and briefs in a
lawyer's office and reading books taken from the lawyer's little library
in the intervals of clerical labor; but the world has now learned that
there is a better way of studying medicine and law — namely, by going
to a professional school, where progressive, systematic, instruction
rapidly developed is to be had."
No one would now study medicine or law in the old way. The
same fact applies to education for business; professional training in
principles as well as in detail is required. Such training is best gained
in the university. Within the last fifty years, primarily because of the
industrial revolution which made business intricately complex and
which wrecked the old apprenticeship system of preparing for a busi-
ness career, business has become a profession and collegiate commer-
cial education has become a professional education just as that of med-
icine and law. Colleges recognize the fact that to-day business de-
mands managers, not rank and file. While executives must grasp the
meaning of detail, they must much more comprehend detail in the
light of those broader principles affecting all business. Hence, as in
11
law and medicine, business education prepares for a profession, not
for a mere job, although the job may be the starting point.
In fine, modern business requires men of broad vision and large
mental grasp upon the facts and principles combined in industry and
commerce. Business has become more nearly a science, business ad-
ministration a profession. The university offering commercial educa-
tion prepares for business as a science and as a profession — and in no
other light whatsoever.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Background
To meet the demands of modern business for broadly educated
executives, American universities have, since 1897, quite generally es-
tablished departments of business administration. Some have organ-
ized separate schools. All have recognized the fact that these schools
cannot supplant experience; rather they supplement it by re-enforcing
detail-knowledge, gained through individual experience, with the broad
knowledge of universal principles accessible through recorded experi-
ence of thousands of executives and through the study of the economic,
psychological, and sociological principles underlying experience.
Northeastern University, early recognizing the demands of mod-
ern business, established the Evening School of Commerce and Finance
in xMarch, 1907.
This School at first emphasized particularly training for Profes-
sional Accountancy. As soon as experience justified the curriculum in
this control field, the University addressed itself to the problem of
constructing equally scientific curricula in business administration, the
executive field. Experience has justified this step also.
Day School with Distinctive Purpose
For some time, officials of the University had purposed to estab-
lish a distinctive Day School of Business Administration. Conducted
by the Boston Young Men's Christian Association, Northeastern Uni-
versity is signally characterized by the spirit of service to the com-
munity. Since the building of rational and strong Christian character
constitutes one of the most distinctive services that education can ren-
der to society, and since the University, through its operation under
the influence of the Young Men's Christian Association, possesses an
environment peculiarly adapted to the moulding of strong Christian
character, the School of Business Administration was designed to fos-
ter the development of such Christian manhood.
Nevertheless, the School is absolutely non-sectarian. While brief
religious exercises, with attendance voluntary, are held at the school
assemblies, conducted by religious leaders in various denominations,
students are encouraged to participate in these and in other religious
activities only so far as is consistent with their own particular religious
beliefs. A student should not hesitate about entering the school be-
cause of religious faith, no attempt being made to influence one to
participate in activities which are contrary to the tenets of his par-
ticular religion.
Since sound business rests not alone upon sound character, but
also upon sane business principles, the Day School was organized not
only to seek every available outlet for individuality and personality,
but also to provide as scientifically sound business education as pos-
13
sible. In other words, in order that emphasis upon Christian character-
building and upon education might be properly balanced, the School
was also to lay the utmost stress upon developing a conservative and
sane type of university education in fundamental facts and principles
of business — of Accounting, Economics, Law pertaining to business
organization and operation. Business Statistics, Industrial Finance, In-
dustrial Management, Distribution, Banking, and related subjects.
In the light of that distinctive purpose, the Board of Governors
of the University authorized a new Day School of Business Adminis-
tration. The doors opened formally in September, 1922, to a body of
thirty-nine students carefully selected.
So marked were the results of the first season that the second year
opened with one hundred students.
Specific Educational Aims
The following aims, partially responsible for the recognition ac-
corded the School, constitute its educational policy:
First, to offer that type of education which will enable the
student to select more advisedly the field best suited to his apti-
tudes.
Second, to build for breadth and thoroughness in preference
to over-specialization with its narrowing effects; therefore, to
eliminate haphazard selection of courses, by requiring concentra-
tion upon a balanced, carefully co-ordinated curriculum; and,
thus, to provide an adequate background for later specialization.
Third, in accordance with the highest development in educa-
tion for business, to provide primarily a sound knowledge of fun-
damental business facts and principles through systematic study
of basic business methods.
Fourth, in fine, to develop habits of scientific thinking essen-
tial to sound judgment; to develop analytical power, because of
its effectiveness as a method of approach to the executive's prob-
lems.
Methods of Instruction
In order that these aims may be realized, the School has rejected
the traditional lecture methods. Of course, there must always be lec-
tures; nevertheless, where possible, the problem and the case method
obtain instead. Sheer textlDook reading is almost valueless; students
tend to accept without question what the textbook presents. Instead,
they should learn to analyze every proposition, to challenge unsup-
ported assertions, to think independently, and to support their think-
ing with logic and facts.
Hence, concrete problems and cases which executives have faced
in Accounting, Marketing, Organizing, and the like, constitute the bulk
of class work. Students analyze problems, break them into their con-
stituent parts, discover and list the factors for and against possible
solutions, and work out a logical conclusion. In class they discuss
14
their work with their instructor in the light of his broader knowledge
and, also, whenever possible, of the experience of executives who have
actually faced these problems and have drawn their own conclusions
and put- them into operation. Thus the student can project his own
judgment against the experiential background of business.
Such a method tends to develop an executive attitude. No lecture
or mere reading of textbooks can do so. Students gain skill and facil-
ity in solving problems by actually solving hundreds and thousands of
them, thereby accumulating a ripe experience seldom open to the petty
employee buried in routine and mechanical detail. What counts in
business, as elsewhere, is not solely whether one possesses so much
knowledge, but whether one can through his knowledge logically and
effectively solve the problems he confronts, or even prevent problems
from arising. Experience in solving typical problems provides a back-
ground for anticipating and forestalling similar ones as well as for
solving otliers that mav arise.
'&
Size of Classes
Mere smallness of numbers in class work has slight significance.
Some of the least effective education goes on in many small classes and
some extremely effective education characterizes many large classes.
There are certain types of studies which commonly require small
classes. Numerous other studies are presented with equal effectiveness
in large classes. For example, law schools in general have bulky
classes; yet the teaching of law represents by and large effective edu-
cation. This fact is equally true in the fields of Economics, History,
and Accounting.
Accordingly, in those subjects which require presentation through
small groups the classes will be correspondingly small. On the other
hand, in those subjects which may be presented with equal effective-
ness in large groups the classes will be larger. The nature of the
work involved and effective teaching in the broadest sense constitute
the determining factors in each case.
Student Body
Students are carefully selected. They must present at least fif-
teen units of credit from approved public high schools or private
academies of corresponding rank; they must offer grades ranging from
"pass" to honor grades: they must present evidence of participation
in their school's activities; thev must present character recommenda-
tions from fa) some teacher familiar with their work and character
(b) some school official other than the teacher, and (c) two disinter-
ested business men. In the final determination of a student's admis-
sion, data from all sources are taken into account. No student will
be admitted unless evidence indicates that he can profit thereby.
15
EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE AND CURRICULA
A. Educational Guidance
Northeastern University includes in its responsibility to students
not only scientifically constructed courses of instruction but also, to
the extent of its power, scientific educational guidance.
This guidance and study should go hand in hand. The student
should not be left to grope his way blindly; every facility of educa-
tional research should be placed at his disposal both to help him
bridge the gap between high school and university methods and also
to eliminate as far as possible the terrific wastage of time involved in
the trial and error approach to choosing a career.
The School of Business Administration from the standpoint of
student guidance utilizes the following methods:
1. Special Lectures.
Assemblies are held at regular periods, upon which attendance of
students is required.
At these assemblies lecturers, each a specialist in a distinct field,
lay before the student the results of their experince. The lecturers are,
for the most part, prominent business and professional men. They
are selected in such a way as to present to the students the broader
phases of human relationships and to lead to an appreciation of the
complex problems of social life and of the necessity for broadly
trained citizenship.
In many instances special lecture periods culminate in an open
forum in which students have the privilege of asking questions on par-
ticular points brought out by the lecturer.
2. Lectures on Orientation.
A student coming from a secondary school to a university finds
that his whole life has undergone a sudden change.
Educationally he is thrown upon his own responsibility in the
matter of discipline and study ; socially, he has entered an entirely dif-
ferent environment with conflicting claims; financially, he is chal-
lenged with a more independent administration of his personal affairs;
morally, he finds new temptations and perplexing questions which he
must successfully meet. Further than this, if not continuing to live at
home, he finds that he has not that ready counsel and advice of his
parents which he has had up to this time.
To help students adjust themselves to these new conditions a se-
ries of lectures on which attendance is required, presents those topics
vital in student life, and offers opportunities for students to secure
counsel on their personal problems.
3. Field Trips and Surveys.
As constantly as possible, in all study, practical operations should
be linked with theory. To provide that combination, certain courses
involve field trips to business organizations and industrial concerns
16
where students make surveys of location, equipment, organization, and
methods. Such vital contact results from the co-operation of certain
commercial and industrial concerns which invite inspection of their
plants and study of their problems and methods. Thus, not infre-
quently, the manager or president of an organization reveals to these
students plans, problems, and methods that books cannot touch. In
turn, the students utilize the knowledge, experience, and facts so gained
as the basis of written reports, of analysis, and of criticism, in the
light of those fundamental principles studied in class.
4. Business Experience.
Valuable as these trips and surveys are they do not test the stu-
dent's business ability and interest. Therefore, in addition to practical
surveys, actual business experience is deemed fundamental during the
course of a student's training both as a supplement to his studies and as
a preparation for business activities. For this reason students are
required to have had thirty weeks of practical business experience be-
fore being eligible for the degree. This experience may be secured
during the summer vacations.
The University, while not definitely promising employment to
students, will assist to the best of its ability in placing both under-
graduates and graduates in desirable positions.
5. Personnel Analysis.
In connection with each of the preceding elements of guidance,
the School makes an intimate study of the student's personality, inter-
ests, and ability. A student, at the time of admission or shortly there-
after, will meet the following requirements:
(a) To take a Test of General Intelligence.
(b) To have a personnel analysis on the basis of:
(1) A carefully drafted questionnaire.
(2) A personal interview with the Dean or a faculty ad-
visor.
(c) To furnish references from whom may be obtained infor-
mation which may be of value in the analysis of the indi-
vidual student.
On the basis of the data secured, which take into account the vari-
ous factors of the student's personal history, the School offers guidance
along the following lines:
fa) Personal Development.
Each student is assigned to an advisor who confers with him from
time to time throughout the school year. This advisor has available
for guidance in counseling a student, the informationn which has been
assembled in the School office. Attention is not only given to the
problems of the student in connection with his studies, but the service
is extended to include advice upon any problem in which advice is
needed and desired, the aim being to guide the student to the fullest
possible personal development.
17
(b) Individual Ability.
The school record of each student is carefully analyzed in the
light of what could reasonably be expected of him, considering his
previous school record, his score on the psychological test, and the
other factors in his case. If he is not doing his best work, an investi-
gation is made to determine and eliminate the causes. If he is doing
as well as could be expected or better, he is encouraged to continue to
do so. In other words, each student is held to the most effective work
possible through advice, encouragement, and assistance.
(c) Business Career.
On the basis of the historical record of each student and his ac-
complishment in the university, the student is given definite counsel
and advice as to his adaptability to business and the general field in
which he is most likely to succeed. This guidance is presented care-
fully not with the purpose of choosing for the student, but rather of
assisting him to think through his problem and make a choice for him-
self.
(d) Change of Goal.
Students obviously not adapted to the type of work offered, will
be definitely and frankly advised to change their goal and type of
training. In some instances, this change will necessitate transfer to
another institution.
This five-fold plan of guidance constitutes the chief contribution
of the School from the standpoint of helping the student to measure
himself and to choose his career. Equally constructive methods are
involved from the viewpoint of that educational training, which while
helping the student to make his choice more advisedly, will also pre-
pare him to meet more successfully the demands of the business he
enters.
18
B. Curricula
Basic Courses
Analysis of the courses listed in the first two years will reveal
those subjects which are deemed fundamental in the scientific approach
to business, from the viewpoint of executive direction and control.
They constitute that ground work which is pre-requisite to the devel-
opment of the executive. These courses are prescribed for all students.
Such ground-work is necessary in the first two years because of six
fundamental facts:
First, since all students expect to specialize sooner or later in a
particular field, those subjects offered in their first years of college
must be of such nature as to equip each student with that ground-work
upon which his field of specialization rests. The basic courses re-
quired in the first two years are designed to supply that essential
equipment.
Second, colleges throughout the country recognize their freshman
year as the critical period for students. A large number of young men
who have formulated purposes may develop interest in a goal for
which they are not preparing specifically or ttiey may change their ob-
jective altogether and transfer to an institution which meets their new
demands. This transfer should be effected with a minimum loss in
time and in subject matter for credit in the college to which the student
goes.
Third, educational statistics show that for one reason or another
a large percentage of students withdraw after their first or second year,
leaving college altogether. These men should receive the highest values
possible for such a short period. Hence, broad and underlying prin-
ciples of administration rather than technical processes should con-
stitute their first two years' study.
Fourth, statistics indicate further that a large percentage of fresh-
men and sophomores who remain in colleges are groping their way
uncertainly toward a career. Their highest welfare demands time and
opportunity for exploration in the field of business. Therefore, broad,
constructive, vocationally directive courses should characterize their
introduction to business administration.
Fifth, about fifty per cent of sophomores in colleges and univer-
sities formulate a career decision before their junior year. Numbers
of these students undergo radical changes before or within the next
year. Their foundation must be sufficiently broad to allow for that
shift in career with a minimum loss in time and value. Accordingly,
a fundamental ground-work, basic to administration in the chief fields
of business and industry, should result from their first two years in
college.
Finally, accumulated statistics show conclusively that few emi-
nent business men have remained throughout life in the field which
marked the beginning of their career. For example, out of fifty of this
country's most successful business men, thirty-nine are in fields far
19
different from those in which they began. In other words, about four
of every five or eighty of every hundred change their work from once
to many times before gaining success. Therefore, a student's back-
ground should be broad and deep, enabling him to meet any unusual
opportunity in any phase of business presenting itself to him.
Such a background the student finds in the prescribed work of the
first two years preceding the period of specialization.
In the light of the foregoing facts, all students will receive a
thorough grounding in underlying principles of business administra-
tion before final specialization in anv of the main divisions of busi-
ness such as Accounting. Finance, Industrial Management, Marketing,
as well as for the specific work of the cost accountant, auditor, office
manager, advertising manager, credit man, sales manager, personnel
manager, and other executives.
The following outline of the prescribed work in the first two
years presents those subjects which are deemed fundamental to spe-
cialization in any of the main fields of administration in business and
industrv:

GENERAL VIEW OF CURRICULA
In presenting outlines of the various curricula open to students,
the School calls attention to the fact that such outlines are tentative.
Business is not static: it never stands still. No curricula can be
considered final. They must be elastic because business principles
are so. because each field of business permits a broad range of special-
ization, and because each student has a peculiar approach to his
specific field. No curriculum can exhibit the range of study-combina-
tions possible for the most intensive specialization.
Each of the five curricula which follow presents in the first two
years those subjects deemed pre-requisite as a broad, fundamental
background to more specialized study. On page 19 appear six pri-
mary reasons lor prescribing these courses for all students.
In the last two years there are few absolute prescriptions. All
students have unrestricted choice of curricula: in fact, under proper
conditions, upon approval of the Dean, a student in his third and
fourth years, may major in two fields and minor in a third. In these
cases, of course, certain prescriptions obtain in order to insure proper
co-ordination and balance of subject-matter, since each business field
demands intimate knowledge of its particular problems and methods.
^X ith equal reason, there are elective subjects which belong more
naturally to one field than to another. On the other hand, within each
field there is opportunity for so high a degree of specialization that no
curriculum can adequately present the possible range of studv involved
or permissible.
Accordingly, in reviewing the general outlines which tollow of
curricula in General Business. Industrial Management. Marketing,
Finance, and Accounting, the reader should bear in mind that these
outlines beyond the second year are suggestive, not final, and that there
are other combinations of courses equally pertinent.
21
CURRICULUM I.
General Business
Only a small percentage of students have definite ideas as to the
particular field of business which they desire to enter. Furthermore,
many students, not caring to specialize, desire a preparation for gen-
eral business.
To such students the General Business Curriculum offers a thor-
ough training in those fundamentals deemed pre-requisite as a gen-
eral knowledge of business which will render a student, after comple-
tion of his studies, capable of adapting himself more successfully to
whatever business he enters.
It is a well recognized fact that comparatively few successful busi-
ness men round out their career in the same field of work in which they
begin. Hence, for the student who has been unable in his third or
even his senior year to decide upon a carefully planned and specific
work, there is ample preparation in the general curriculum. Too much
stress perhaps has been laid upon the necessity of specialization, and
doubtless much misapprehension has arisen from this emphasis. To-
day is the day of the specialist; yet that specialist, except in work
lending itself to mechanical expression, becomes a better specialist in
proportion to the breadth of his preparation.
These facts find apt illustration in several professional fields.
Few would question the necessity of a broad training in medicine for
the eye, ear, or nose specialist. Much more severe exactions are now
placed upon the dentist. The Corporation lawyer must have a broad
legal background. Likewise, the student preparing for a business
career, if undecided as to his particular field, may strengthen himself,
through the general curriculum, to meet any opportunity that arises.

CURRICULUM II.
Industrial Management
The curriculum in Industrial Management is planned to give a
general executive training and also to afford specialization in the par-
ticular field of production.
Students who desire to become managers, assistant managers, or
superintendents in industrial concerns, are advised to take this curric-
ulum, as are also those who wish to specialize in industrial account-
ing. The chief aim of this course is to give that broad training in ex-
ecutive management essential to diplomatic, forceful, efficient control
of the human factor in industry, as well as of the mechanical phases
of manufacturing methods. Scientific management is absolutely neces-
sary: short cuts, motion study, time measurement, quality-quantity
production and other practices and principles. But a knowledge of
the human element, a knowledge of psychology, an intimate acquaint-
ance with sociology, are far more important, especially in large or-
ganizations.
The first two years, prescribed, provide a broad knowledge of
business as a whole. The last two years, providing specialization
through elective courses, develop an intimate acquaintance with the
physical and personal problems of industrial management together
with a detailed knowledge of control routing, costs, labor problems,
industrial organization, sales co-ordination, related principles and
practices.
This curriculum lends itself admirably to a combination of theory
and practice, through a large number of field trips to important in-
dustrial concerns where problems of location, equipment, organiza-
tion, and management may be profitably surveyed.

CURRICULUM III.
Marketing
This curriculum is designed for those who plan to enter whole-
saling, retailing, advertising, salesmanship, or other fields of selling.
A basic training in business as a whole is required the first two years;
in the last two years specialization is advisable.
The most difficult phases of marketing relate logically to prob-
lems of selling. These problems were comparatively simple before
the industrial revolution. The development of power machinery made
old marketing methods useless in general ; large scale, specialized pro-
duction not only demanded new and larger markets, or more intensive
development of existing markets, but also required a thorough-going
reconstruction of marketing methods.
Despite the fact of reduced distribution costs, complexity of the
world's economic structure has increased production costs. A signifi-
cant problem for marketing, therefore, is that of cost reduction. To
reduce cost in manufacturing is not primarily the work of distribu-
tion agencies; nevertheless, in order to overcome the handicap of
heavy costs, many agencies have assumed the producer's functions.
Conversely, many producers have assumed marketing functions in an
effort to cut costs. Producer and distributor must now develop greater
efficiency in methods, each understanding generally the work of the
other.
Only scientific study of marketing agencies, of their problems,
and their relation to production and finance, together with a compre-
hensive grasp of commerce and industrv as a whole, can assure low-
ered expense and increased efficiencv in methods.

CURRICULUM IV.
Finance
The curriculum in Finance is designed for those students who ex-
pect to engage in some phase of commercial or investment banking, or
of business finance. It ofters opportunities for both general business
training and specialization in the (icltls of banking, finance, invest-
ments, and related fields.
After two years of ground work in business fundamentals, this
course provides specialization in the problems of organizing and finan-
cing business and industrial enterprise: knowledge of the sources of
capital, of acquiring capital for organizing or expanding, of banking
methods and management, of credit, of failures and bankruptcy and
their causes. From tlie administrative point of view, that is of the
bank executive, are presented matters of limitation of activities, or-
ganization, personnel. Federal Reserve System, loan and credit poli-
cies, trusts, syndicates.
Particular stress is laid upon the promotion and expansion of cor-
porations, the underwriting of syndicates, and of sound accounting
principles, together with their relation to state and federal powers.
lAigicallv linked with these problems are those of investment banking,
foreign exchange, public utility finance, and municipal financial prob-
lems.
This curriculum also involves an intimate studv of the broad field
of Bank Administration.

CURRICULUM V.
Accounting
With the growth in complexity of business, accountants bulk more
and more important in the organization and operation of a successful
business enterprise. Increasingly tliere is a demand for well trained
men both in the fields of industrial and conunercial accounting and in
the profession of public accounting.
This curriculum, therefore, to prepare students for accounting
positions in large corporations or for the public profession of account-
ing, is designed especially for those who desire to become Certified
Public Accountants.
In this curriculum the background of total business organization
should be stressed to the uttermost. The whole field of accounting is
intricately linked witli both commerce and industry; constructive ac-
counting has to consider peculiar demands made by various concerns;
interpretation of accounts oftentimes depends, not alone upon an ac-
counting principle, but upon a principle of business administration or
of business law; the consulting accountant frequently has to formulate
or reshape the entire administrative, financial, or marketing policy
and programs of a concern about whose particular business he may
have known nothing. The fact that many producers and wholesalers
have cut down their advertising campaigns and devoted their energies
to "dealer help"' in matters of accurate accounting of all kinds illus-
trates the intimate connections of accounting with business.
Accountancv of the highest type demands all those powers com-
monly assigned to executives: initiative, power of analysis, breadth of
view, resourcefulness, sound judgment. The course prepares stu-
dents with such qualities for the work of the cost accountant, auditor,
office manager, advertising manager, credit manager, or sales manager,
and also for other executive positions.

OTHER CURRICULA
Students desiring to take combinations of courses other than
those outlined in the regular curricula may do so, provided their se-
lections meet the approval of the Dean and the hour requirements for
the degree.
Two Year General Business Leading to Junior Certificate
The Two Year General Business curriculum, leading to the Junior
Certificate is planned for those students who cannot pursue the four
year curriculum. Since the basic courses in business administration
have been placed in the first two years of all curricula, this special
two-vear curriculum coincides in the main with the work prescribed
for all men in the first two years. However, where desirable, logical
elections mav be made upon the Dean's approval, particularly in the
second year.

Single Courses
A single course or combination of courses may be taken by spe-
cial students who have met the admission requirements for special
students (see page 40), and who do not desire to take a full program.
The programs of such students must, in each case, be approved by the
Dean.
Combination of Day and Evening Courses
Affiliation with the Evening School of Commerce and Finance
permits, in the upper years, an unusually broad range of elective
studies for purposes of specialization. Certain prescribed work is
offered only through the Evening School, especially those courses of
such extremely specialized nature that few day school students would
be enrolled in them. In other cases, when practical business experi-
ence counts heavily in the instruction, students will be required to
take such courses in the evening under teachers who bring their every-
day experience to bear on the problems of study.
When students desire a course not offered in the dav school but
offered in the evening school, if such course meets the requirements as
to elective work, permission to take it in the evening must be obtained.
In the event of conflict of courses, one course involved may be taken
in the evening.
In general, the credit for evening courses will not be identical
with that of like subjects in the day school; but in the instance of
courses offered only in the evening school and required for the day
school students the credit w'ill be given for a full course or a half
course in the day school upon completion of a full course or half
course as the case may be in the evening school. Each case must meet
the approval of the Dean of each school.
Alternation, Omission, or Change of Courses
The school reserves the right to alternate, omit, or to change any
course or courses offered in any curricula, without formal notification.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The worthwhileness of wholesome, active, recreational life both
social, religious, and athletic, is recognized by the school officials.
Students are encouraged to form organizations which will stimulate
the best types of activities. In fact, student activities form a natural
part of the college life, and add to the student's all-round develop-
ment much that no mere course of studies alone can give him.
The following list is representative of those activities in which
the University encourages students to participate.
Athletics
There are three types of athletic activities under the direction of
the School: (Ij competitive sports such as baseball, basketball, track,
swimming, wrestling, soccer, and tennis; (2) recreational activities
which involve but a slight amount of competition and no organized
competition, including all phases of gymnastics particularly; (3) and
corrective exercises.
1. Competitive Sports.
All forms of organized competitive athletics recognized by the
University are under the general direction of the Northeastern Univer-
sity Athletic Association. The Athletic Association consists of all
students of the Schools of Engineering and of Business Administration.
At the head of the Association is the General Athletic Committee,
consisting of certain members of the Faculty and the student officers
of the Athletic Association, the latter elected from the student body.
This committee has charge of the administration of athletics, subject
to the approval of the Faculty Committee on Athletics.
Under the guidance of efficient athletic coaches, track, basketball,
and baseball teams are formed. Schedules are arranged with other
colleges for home games and games abroad. The association also
encourages soccer, wrestling, swimming, interclass baseball, and ten-
nis teams. Interclass and interdivision meets are held during the year.
2. Recreation and Health.
Recreation and good health are essential to success in the studies
of the School and in later business careers. Freshmen, unless on
part-time employment, or physically incapacitated, are required to take
at least two hours per week of physical recreation, which is provided
in connection with the gymnasiums, swimming pool, tennis courts, and
other facilities. Upper classmen are encouraged to make use of these
advantages in order to keep in good physical condition. There is no
charge for participation in organized athletics. In case, however, upper
classmen take part in freshman gymnastic exercises or desire other
privileges of the Recreation and Health Department, the usual fee
must be paid by such student to the department.
3. Corrective Exercises.
All freshmen in the School receive one to three thorough physical
examinations per year by the university expert. They are then grouped
for physical exercise according to their condition.
35
Swimming Pool
Bowling Alley
36
Where deemed advisable, the School will require that students
take a prescribed amount of special, carefully designed physical exer-
cises at regular intervals for the purpose of correcting defects.
Social Life
The social life of the School centers chiefly in five types of en-
tertainment.
The first is that of class activities. Classes hold regular get-
togethers, with cheering, singing, music, jokes, and acquaintance-mak-
ing. Occasionally the freshman class entertains upper classes; and
annually, soon after the opening of school, the upper classmen enter-
tain the first year students, providing one of the most enjoyable occa-
sions of the year.
The second form of social entertainment is a Hallowe'en party.
This is an annual affair which promises much enjoyment of the most
wholesome sort.
Informal dances constitute the third form of social life. These
are infrequent, yet sufficient to meet the normal demands of concerted
college life, because many of the students attend dances held by their
community groups.
Perhaps the most important social event of the year consists in
Home Folks Day. Most colleges have "get-togethers" of students, but
few or none attempt to bring student and family together at the college.
Nothing is more helpful to the student than the intimate interest of his
father, his mother, his brother, his sister, in his college life. Accord-
ingly once each year the faculty and students devote one day to a se-
ries of entertainments in which the Home Folks share. There are
dramatic presentations, minstrel shows, athletic contests, speeches,
tours of the University buildings and grounds, parlor acquaintance-
making, followed by a banquet and later a dance which lasts until
midnight. Parents and students are agreed that this occasion is ex-
ceedingly worth while.
Finally, in order that the utmost informality and cordiality may
exist between the administration and the students, the Dean sets aside
certain Home-Social Hours. He and his family keep open house and
cordially invite to their home individual and group visits of students
and members of the faculty, at the following hours:
1. From 7:30 to 10:00, during the evening of the first Wednes-
day of each month.
2. From 3:30 to 6:00, during the afternoon of the fourth Sun-
day of each month.
Clubs
The chief club activities relate to the dramatic club, the minstrels,
the orchestra, the glee club, and the band. These constitute an impor-
tant value in the rounding out of a four-square manhood.
37
Religious Life
Because of the fact that the School is absolutely non-sectarian and
has in its enrolment members of various religious faiths, the program
of religious activities has to be and should be very broad and generous.
At the same time it must be utterly sincere and non-compromising on
broad principles. No part of the religious program is compulsory, or
so narrow as to exclude anyone.
The chief agency for organizing and carrying out such a program
is the Student Christian Union, organized by and composed of stu-
dents particularly interested in this type of activities. The Dean of
the School acts in an advisory capacity to the Union.
The main purpose of the organization is to develop rational and
strong Christian character by bringing students together from the
service point of view. Students help one another, in many ways which
cannot properly be listed in a catalog, to develop that four-square
manhood which is essential to a democratic civilization.

4. Withdrawals and Refunds:
Students who are forced to withdraw from the School are re-
quested to notify the school office in writing to the effect that they are
withdrawing and giving their reasons for doing so. This notification
should be given promptly.
As the School assumes the obligation of carrying the student
throughout the year when the student registers, and as the University
provides the instruction and accommodations on a yearly basis, the
Executive Council of the University has ruled as follows:
A. Applications for refunds must be presented within sixty days
after withdrawal from the School.
B. Credits and refunds will be granted only as stated below:
1 . The unused portion of the tuition paid by the applicant
may be placed in suspense and used at some future time
to apply upon the tuition of any school in Northeastern

in the application meet the approval of the Committee
on Refunds, and on the further condition that the credit
be used within two years.
2. Cash refunds of unused portions of tuition paid by the
student may be granted only in cases when students are
compelled to withdraw on account of personal illness.
The application must be accompanied by a satisfactory
certificate from the physician.

has been filed, no refund is made of the five dollar matriculation fee.
39
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL
Admission Requirements
J. Regular Students
An applicant for admission as regular student in candidacy for
the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree must meet
the following requirements:
(a) He must furnish satisfactory credentials showing that:
1 . He is a graduate of an approved high school or school
of equal grade,
or
2. He has completed satisfactorily fifteen units of sec-
ondary school work in such a school,
or
3. He must satisfactorily pass entrance examinations cov-
ering fifteen units of secondary school work.
(b) He must be of satisfactory character.
(c) He must satisfy the Committee on Admission through in-
terview and a personnel analysis, or by such other means as
the Committee may deem desirable, of his general fitness
to undertake the work of the School.
II. Special Students
A Special Student, who is not a candidate for the B. B. A. de-
gree, may be admitted to the School at the discretion of the Commit-
tee on Admission provided he meets the following requirements:
(a) He must be at least twenty-one years of age.
(b) He must have had some business experience.
(c) He must give satisfactory evidence of his general fitness to
undertake the work of the School.
Those admitted as special students cannot become candidates for
the B. B. A. degree unless at the time of admission they met all re-
quirements for entrance as a candidate for the degree.
Only a limited number of special students will be admitted in any
one year.
///. Part-Time Students
Under exceptional circumstances regular students may be per-
mitted to take less than a complete program. Work taken in this man-
ner will be credited toward meeting the requirements for the degree.
IV. Advanced Standing Students
Students who have successfully completed regular courses of in-
struction in a school of business administration of a recognized col-
lege or university may receive not exceeding three years' advanced
standing credit upon presentation of a satisfactory certificate showing
the courses completed. Admission is open in the fall and at mid-year.
40
Registration
Registration consists of two things:
(1) Filing application for admission to the School.
An applicant for admission should file a formal application as
soon as he has decided to seek entrance to the School. The blank at
the close of this catalog may be used for this purpose. Additional
blanks may be obtained from the School office. The early filing of
the application renders it possible to adjust matters affecting the stu-
dent's status in advance of the opening date of School, and is highly
desirable both from the standpoint of the student and that of the ad-
ministration. Applications may be filed through the mail: or person-
ally, the applicant calling at the School. A five dollar matriculation
fee is payable when the application is filed.
(2) Formal Registration.
Formal Registration consists in reporting at the School office on
the registration date (see page 3 of the catalog) and filling out the
required forms. At this time the Dean, or a member of the faculty,
will interview" each student and so far as possible adjust all matters
with regard to his status.
In case the applicant has not filed his application for admission
prior to the date of registration he may do so at this time.
Late Registration
In exceptional circumstances students may be permitted to regis-
ter after the opening date of School, provided they have not lost so
much work as to render admission to the School inadvisable. Business
principles dictate that students should by all means avoid late regis-
tration. Students registering a week or more late must pay a post-
registration fee of So. 00.
-D'
Mid-Year Registration
Under certain conditions, applicants for entrance at mid-year may
be admitted, especially in the case of ( 1 ) students applying for ad-
vanced standing, ( 2 ) students who have graduated from high school
at the mid-term, and ( 3 1 special students. Should those in the first
two groups complete the requirements for graduation at some succeed-
ing mid-term, they would be nominally graduated, but would not for-
mally receive the degree until the June following.
41
RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Marking System
The following system of grading tlie results of a student's work
has been adopted by the School:
A 90%— 100% Excellent
B 80%— 89% Good
C 70%— 79% Fair
D 60% — 69% Passed (provided the number of D grades
does not exceed 30% of the student's total
number of grades).
F below 60% Complete failure: one re-examination per-
missible; if this is failed the course, if
prescribed, must be repeated; if elective,
may be repeated or may be replaced by
a closely related subject, on approval of
the Dean,
In addition to attainment so far as the content of the course is
concerned, individual ability will be taken into account and each stu-
dent will be expected not only to secure passing marks in his courses,
but also to do that grade of work which it is reasonable to expect from
his particular ability. In other words, if a student has the ability to
do A work, but actually does only C work, he is obviously not achiev-
ing what he should. In such a case, the faculty will exercise every effort
to encourage and elicit that type of work commensurate with the stu-
dent's ability.
Examinations — Term Work
1. Mid-year examinations will be given in all courses during the
week following the close of the first semester. In the case of half
year courses the mid-year examinations will be the final examinations.
Class sessions are omitted during the examination period.
2. During the two weeks following the close of the second se-
mester, final examinations will be given in each course, excepting
those which were concluded the first semester.
3. All of the required term work in certain courses must be com-
pleted and submitted before the student may take the mid-vear or final
examination in the course.
Re-examinations
Students who receive a grade below 60% in a course will be
permitted to take a re-examination in the course the following Septem-
ber, If a student fails in the re-examination he must, if the course is
prescribed, repeat the course; if he passes he will be credited with a
final grade of 60% in the subject. The fee for each re-examination
is $3.00.
A re-examination cannot be taken to raise a grade.
42
Promotion and Classification of Students
Classilication in, and promotion to, the various classes of the
School is dependent upon the attainment of the credit indicated below
in each case:
For Sophomore standing (with freshman conditions) 12 hours credit
For Junior standing (with sophomore conditions) 27 hours credit
For Senior standing (with junior conditions) 42 hours credit
Reports of Students' Progress
Reports of students' progress are issued regularly four times in
each school year: the first of December, February, April, and June.
The School will also be glad to furnish j)arents or students, at times
other than the dales upon which regular reports are tendered, full in-
formation with regard to status. In event the work of a student is un-
satisfactory, the School will notify both the student and his parents
of the fact, and will attempt to discover and eliminate the causes.
Attendance Requirements
The following are the rules relating to attendance:
1. Students are allowed not to exceed six unexcused absences
in a three-hour course which runs throughout the year; and
not to exceed three unexcused absences in a three-hour course
which runs for one semester only.
2. Satisfactory excuses must be tendered for each absence in
excess of the maximum of unexcused absences. In case ab-
sences are due to personal illness a physician's certificate
should be left at the school office.
3. Five per cent will be deducted from the original grade of a
student in a course for each unexcused absence in excess of
the total number allowed for that course.
4. Students who are more than five minutes late in entering a
class or who leave class five minutes early will be marked
absent.
Requirements for the B. B. A. Degree
A candidate for the Bachelor of Business Administration degree
must satisfy the following requirements:
(a) He must have met all of the admission requirements and
have been admitted to the School as a regular student in
candidacy for the degree.
(b) The unit of credit is the "hour": for example, a course pur-
sued three times a week throughout the year would give
three hours' credit, a course two times a week throughout
the year, two hours' credit, etc. A laboratory period of two
hours shall count as one hour's credit toward the degree.
A student to be eligible for the degree must complete
courses which will allow him the following minimum
credit: —
43
First Year 15 Hours
Second Year 15 Hours
Third Year 15 Hours
Fourth Year 15 Hours
Total required for degree 60 Hours
Credit for a course implies the completion of the term work in
the course with a grade of at least D and the securing in the final ex-
amination of the course a grade of at least D. except that 70% of the
total number of courses must be passed with the minimum grade of C.
(c) He must meet the attendance requirements of the School.
( See above I .
(d) He must have had at least 30 weeks of practical business
experience before the degree is granted. This business ex-
perience may be obtained by work pursued during the sum-
mer vacations.
Requirements for the Junior Certificate
To secure the Junior Certificate a student must satisfy the follow-
ing requirements :
(a) He must have met all of the admission requirements of stu-
dents who are admitted to the School as candidates for the
B. B. A. degree.
(b) He must complete courses which Avill allow him the follow-
ing minimum credit:
First Year 15 Hours
Second \ear 15 Hours
Total Required 30 Hours
(c) He must make the required attendance upon class sessions.
(d) He must have had at least fifteen weeks' business experi-
ence before the Certificate is granted. Students will be
able to meet this requirement during the summer vacations
between the first and second years of the course.
Conduct
It is assumed that students come to the School for a serious pur-
pose, and that they will cheerfully conform to such regulations as
may from time to time be made. In case of injurv to anv building, or
to any of the furniture, or other property of the School, the damage
will be charged to the student, or students, known to be immediately
concerned: but if the persons who caused the damage are unknown,
the cost for repairs may be assessed equal Iv upon all the students of
the School.
Students are expected to behave with decorum, to obey the regu-
lations of the School, and to pay due respect to its officers. Conduct
inconsistent with the general good order of the School, or persistent
44
neglect of work, if repeated after admonition, may be followed by dis-
missal, or, in case the offense be a less serious one, the student may be
placed upon probation. The student so placed upon probation may
be disrriissed if guilty of further offense.
It is desired to administer the discipline of the School so as to
maintain a high standard of integrity and a scrupulous regard for
truth. The attempt of any student to present, as his own, any work
which he has not performed, or to pass any examination by improper
means, is regarded as a most serious offense, and renders the offender
liable to immediate expulsion. The aiding and abetting of a student
in any dishonesty is also held to be a grave breach of discipline.
45
GENERAL INFORMATION
Buildings
The school is housed in the buildings of the Boston Young Men's
Christian Association, which are the finest structures of their kind in
America. The buildings are located on Huntington Avenue, in the
section of Boston noted for its institutions of learning. The schools
and colleges within their vicinity have an annual attendance of fifteen
thousand students. The location is easily accessible from all parts of
the city and suburbs, and is practically free from distracting influ-
ences.
The impression one gains from looking at the buildings (240 x
200 X 90 feet) from the front is that of one large structure. As a
matter of fact, however, there are six buildings, each on its own foun-
dation. With the exception of the front and west side, the buildings
are comparatively low, connected by corridors and bridges. This ar-
rangement provides exceptionally fine light and air to all of them.
The six buildings are as follows: Administration, Assembly Hall,
Recitation, Natatorium, Gymnasium, and Vocational.
Administration Building.
In the Administration building, besides various offices, there are
libraries, class rooms, reading and social rooms.
Assembly Hall.
The Jacob P. Bates Hall has a seating capacity of five hundred.
A large stage, suitable for entertainments of all kinds is available. The
hall is equipped with a motion picture machine. The regular assembly
exercises and the lectures of the school are held here.
Recitation Building.
The Recitation building is 196 feet long and 58 feet wide and six
stories high. In the basement are the heating and ventilating plant.
The first floor is taken up with game, social and club rooms, and a
small assembly hall seating one hundred and fifty. On the second
and third floors are located class rooms. The fourth floor contains a
science lecture room completely equipped, a physics laboratory, three
chemical laboratories, three drafting rooms, two recitation rooms, and
department offices. The fifth and sixth floors are used as dormitories.
Natatorium.
This building is located between the Assembly Hall and the Gym-
nasium, and is easily accessible from the locker rooms of the latter.
The swimming pool is 75 feet long by 25 feet wide, and is under a
glass roof, admitting floods of sunshine. The pool is supplied with
filtered salt water from an artesian well, and is heated to the proper
temperature by an elaborate system of pipes. Altogether the Nata-
torium is one of the finest of its kind.
Gymnasium.
This structure is known as the Samuel Johnson Memorial Gym-
nasium, the funds of which were provided by the relatives of the late
Samuel Johnson. The gymnasium provides the following facilities:
46
three gymnasiums, a twelve-lap running track, two large exercise
rooms, boxing and wrestling rooms, handball and squash courts, bowl-
ing alleys, showers, steam baths, massage rooms and electric cabinet
baths. •
The School of Business Administration occupies well-appointed
and well-lighted class-rooms, and has the use of the library, reading
room, parlors, gymnasium, swimming pool, and other facilities. In
fact the Y, M. C. A. buildings afford the students those exceptional
advantages accruing from an advantageous location in the heart of an.
educational community.
Outdoor Facilities
The outdoor facilities are exceptional for an urban university.
Adjoining the buildings is a large field equipped for athletics: with
four tennis courts, outdoor gymnasium, handball court, basketball
courts, jumping pits, board track, cinder track with a hundred-yard
straightaway, and baseball and football fields.
Libraries
1. The General Libraries of Northeastern University and of the
Boston Y. M. C. A., consisting of several thousand carefully selected
volumes. In these libraries the students of the School have available
for their use necessary books on business administration and allied
subjects, together with current business periodicals and the leading
business services. The reading room of the library is open from 9:00
A. M. to 10:00 P. M. daily.
2. The Boston Public Library. All members of the School,
whether resident or non-resident students, have the privilege of taking
books from the Boston Public Library and of using the library for
general reference and study. Inasmuch as this is one of the best in
the country, it presents unusual opportunities to the students. Within
a few minutes' walk from the School, it enables students to have un-
limited reference at any time to books and periodicals bearing upon
business subjects.
Residence
It is much more satisfactory for students to live within easy access
of Boston. The saving of time and effort more than offsets any in-
creased expense.
There are limited accommodations at very moderate rates in the
dormitories of the Y. M. C. A. Rooms may be had separately or in
groups, with a common reception room. The price varies from $2.25
per week upwards. Since board costs about $8.00 per week, a student
may obtain room and board for from $10.25 per week upwards.
Though not required, residence in Boston is advantageous, since
thereby the student gains the opportunity of using the college facili-
ties outside of class hours, of conferring readily with his instructors,
of more intimately sharing in the activities of college life.
The School officials have no jurisdiction in the matter of dormi-
47
tory assignments. Students should write the House Secretary of the
Boston Y. M. C. A. for rooms in the dormitories.
A registry of suitable rooms in the nearby houses is maintained
for the convenience of students desiring accommodations outside the
dormitories.
Northeastern University Club
The Northeastern University Club of Boston was organized in the
spring of 1921 with graduates of the School of Law, Commerce and
Finance, and Engineering, as charter members.
The purpose of the Club is to promote social activities among the
alumni of Northeastern University; to perpetuate the Northeastern
spirit in the business life of the community; to give to their Alma
Mater the benefit of the experience of the alumni in the School and of
their experience in business and professional activities since their
graduation.
Any man of good character, twenty-one years of age or over, who
is a graduate of any of the Schools of Northeastern University, grant-
ing a degree, or who has attended such schools for a period of two full
years, is eligible for membership.
History of Northeastern University
The incorporation of Northeastern University of the Boston
Young Men's Christian Association in March, 1916, marked the cul-
mination of a notable development. The University is the realization
of an ideal carefully worked out and persistently followed for many
years. One of the first lines of endeavor of the Boston Young Men's
Christian Association, after its establishment in 1851, was the open-
ing of evening classes for young men. It was not, however, until 1896
that the actual foundations for the University were laid. The larger
number of courses offered require a more comprehensive organization.
Gradually the courses were grouped under separate schools and addi-
tional courses were offered to complete the curriculum of each school.
The School of Law, established in 1898, was incorporated in 1904
with degree granting power. Founded in 1907, the School of Com-
merce and Finance was authorized in 1911 to confer the degrees of
Bachelor and Master of Commercial Science. The School of Engineer-
ing was opened in 1909 and given power in 1920 to confer the follow-
ing degrees: Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Mechanical
Engineering, Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, and Bachelor of
Chemical Engineering. The School of Business Administration was
opened in September, 1922, and has the right to grant the degree of
Bachelor of Business Administration. In addition, the Evening Poly-
technic School, the Huntington School for Boys, the Northeastern Pre-
paratory School, the Automotive School, and the Vocational Institute
are conducted under the administration of the University. In March
1923, the University was granted general degree granting power by
the Massachusetts Legislature. Divisions of the University offering
evening instruction have been established at Worcester, Springfield,
Bridgeport, New Haven, and Providence.

THE SCHOOL OF LAW
THE STUDY OF LAW
With the growing complexity of American civilization due to
an unparalleled development in commerce and industry has
come an increased demand for men who are well trained in the
law and who combine with the knowledge of law the highest
type of ideals and the best legal ethics.
The law treats of nearly every phase of human relationship.
It prepares a student to deal effectively with men and affairs;
it trains him to think, to think straight, to think a proposition
through to the end and then to act in accordance with judg-
ment based on a clean-cut, unbiased analysis of the facts. This
habit of analytical thinking and judicial action is indispensable
to the practitioner of law. It is equally indispensable to business
men, those in political life, and to all who would render the
most efficient service to society.
A large number of the most successful men in nearly every
field of activity have had a training in law; and the demand for
such men is constantly increasing and will continue to increase
with the economic and social evolution of the country.
Law Schools have rendered an inestimable service in the
past; they will render an even greater service in the future.
From the law schools of to-day must come the leaders of to-
morrow. Justice is the keystone of the arch of modern civiliza-
tion — the lawyer, as an officer of justice, is charged with the
preservation and maintenance of all that is true and noble in
human society.
"Above all, a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved
reputation for scrupulous fidelity to private trust and public
duty, with the vigor and openness of an honest man and a
patriotic and loyal citizen." (Canon of Professional Ethics,
Massachusetts Bar Association.) Law Schools must devote
themselves to training lawyers who, either in the profession or
in other fields of activity, will be efficient and effective in the
actual business in which they are engaged, and who will have as
ideals in their work, justice and service to mankind.
THE FOUNDING OF THE SCHOOL I
1
Massachusetts has maintained for a considerable period of^
time two of the most prominent day law schools in America — '
the Harvard University School of Law and Boston University!
School of Law. These schools, however, were not, and have;
not been able to reach a very large group of highly intelligent
and ambitious employed men who desire advancement eitheri
through preparing for the legal profession or through a law]
training which might be applicable in their business careersJ
Prior to 1898 there was a persistent demand for an evening law|
school which should be thorough in its instruction and con-j
ducted in such a manner that its graduates would stand well at|
the Bar and be recognized as men of professional attainment andj
ethical standards. In response to this demand Northeastern;
University School of Law was established in 1898 through the'
co-operation and under the active guidance of the late Hon. J
James R. Dunbar, the late Prof. James Barr Ames, Dean of the
Harvard University Law School, and Mr. Samuel Bennett,
then Dean of the Boston University School of Law.
Divisions of the Northeastern University School of Law have
been established as indicated below. The nature and quality of \
work offered in these divisions is the same as that offered in
Boston — the work being under the same supervision and
administration as the Boston work.
From the outset the Worcester Division of the Law School
admitted women to its classes. Springfield, in 1921, decided to
admit women, effective with the entering class of September of
that year. In January, 1922, the trustees of Northeastern
University, acting upon the recommendations of the corpora-
tion of the School of Law, voted to admit women to the school ;
in Boston and in all of the Divisions, subject, so far as the :
Divisions were concerned, to the approval of the local boards.
This step of the trustees was taken after very careful considera-
tion of the points involved, acting upon the advice of leading
legal educators, upon the basis of a persistent demand that
women be admitted to the School and upon the experience of
outstanding law schools in co-education: it being found that
10
h
with the exception of Harvard and Columbia, where women
have not been admitted, all of the leading law schools of the
country are admitting women, with excellent results, to their
classes and in full candidacy for their degrees. In view of the
fact that classes in the School are already as large as are de-
sirable, only a limited number of mature women who are
especially qualified by experience and training to pursue a law
course will be admitted to the School each year.
WORCESTER DIVISION
In April, 1919, the Worcester Division School of Law was
ofTicially established and formally announced. Classes did not
commence, however, until September of the same year. An
Advisory Committee has been of material assistance in guiding
the affairs of the School locally and in the selection of the
Faculty. The response on the part of the public to the opening
of the Worcester Division is best evidenced by the enrolment
during the past five years. The entire four-year program is
offered. Since the opening of the School in Worcester, women
have been admitted as regular students and have made a
creditable record in the School.
SPRINGFIELD DIVISION
The Springfield Division of the School of Law, established in
May, 1919, was the second division of the School to be formed.
The late Chief Justice Marcus P. Knowlton expressed a great
interest in the founding of the Springfield Division when the
matter was first proposed in 1915, but, with the coming of the
war, plans had to be postponed. The Advisory Committee has
been of much assistance in the establishing of this Division and
in the selection of the Faculty. Springfield and vicinity have
given splendid support to this Division as is indicated by the
student body. The complete curriculum is being given. Women
are admitted as regular students.
11
PROVIDENCE DIVISION
At a meeting held in Providence early in May, 1920, a group
of the leading members of the Rhode Island Bar requested
the Directors of the Providence Y.M.C.A., to consider the
establishment of a division of Northeastern University School
of Law in Providence. This meeting was followed two weeks
later by a more representative gathering of the Bar at which
the request was repeated. Steps were immediately taken
by the Y.M.C.A. to meet this request and in October, 1920, the
Providence Division School of Law was opened.
Much very helpful assistance and guidance have been given
by the Advisory Committee and a very capable Faculty has
been secured. During 1924-1925 the complete four-year curricu-
lum will be offered. Women are not admitted to this Division.
The following resolution was adopted by the Board of Direc-
tors of the Providence Chamber of Commerce on May 13,
1920: "Resolved, that the Committee of 100 of The Providence
Chamber of Commerce welcomes the establishment of a Branch
of Northeastern University in the City of Providence, be-
lieving it gives an additional opportunity for the education of
employed men."
12
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SCHOOL
From the outset the School developed around the following
basic principles:
1. A non-proprietary evening law school with high scholastic
standards — devoting all of its resources to building up the best
type of evening law school.
2. The case method as a basis of instruction: supplemented
by lectures and review quizzes.
3. A Faculty made up of men who are graduates of the best
law schools, who have achieved success in the legal profession,
and each of whom possesses, further, the qualifications of a
teacher.
4. A sound course of study.
5. High professional ethics and a preparation for the legal
profession, not only in a narrow sense, but in the broader sense
of service to mankind.
6. Impartial administration — whereby the rules relating to
attendance, grading, examinations and scholarship are im-
partially enforced.
It is a matter of experience on the part of Northeastern
University School of Law that the principles enumerated above
can be complied with on the part of evening law schools and
must be complied with by this type of school; provided the work
of these schools is to have any warrant for continuance. An
evening law school, such as Northeastern University, which
carefully selects its Faculty and its student body, organizes a
sound course of study, and insists upon the highest possible
ethical standards, can be of incalculable value to society through
the training of men who will become efficient leaders. With the
tendency from a republican representative form of government
to a democratic form of government, in which the people are
directly responsible, it is more than ever imperative that men
be trained who are capable of the highest type of efficient
leadership. It is to this ideal that evening law schools should
consecrate their efforts and it is this ideal to which North-
eastern University has consecrated its efforts.
13
SUCCESSFUL CAREER
The School has proved to be a success. Approximately six
thousand one hundred students have been enrolled, including
business executives, clerks from the offices of leading attor-
neys; clerks and officers from every court in Boston; state,
city, and government officials; teachers and students from other
law schools; and a large number of able men engaged in various
other lines of activity. About 86 per cent of the graduates have
passed the bar examinations in Massachusetts, or in other
states, and of the remaining 14 per cent, the larger number are
business or professional men who have not intended to enter
upon the practice of Law and, for that reason, have not
attempted the bar examinations. When these figures are con-
sidered in relation to the fact that of 614 men recently examined
in Massachusetts only 38 per cent were successful, the success
of Northeastern University in preparing for admission to the
bar is apparent.
Various reports, alumni letters and other sources of infor-
mation evidence the fact that those who have completed the re-
quired course of study have profited immeasurably by the
training which they have received.
INCORPORATION
In January, 1904, a bill was introduced into the Massachu-
setts Legislature seeking the incorporation of the School, with
the power to grant the degree of Bachelor of Laws. The rapid
passage of this bill by the legislature, and the cordial recogni-
tion and endorsement of the School by the bench, the bar, and
the heads of our day law and other professional schools, testify
in no uncertain terms to the position the School occupies in the
educational activities of the Commonwealth.
THE STUDENT BODY
Four general groups of students are pursuing the prescribed
course in the School of Law:
1. Those who are preparing for the legal profession.
2. Those who are studying law as a means of a more efficient
14
functioning in business. With the increased complexity of
business organization due to large scale marketing, large scale
production, and the development of means of communication
in the form of railroads, and telephone and telegraph, it is
certain that no training can be of greater value to business
executives than a training in law.
3. Students who are uncertain as to their life work and are
taking the law as a "finding" course. The study of law, because
it deals with practically every phase of human relationship, is an
excellent means by which a young man can analyze himself
and come to a definite decision concerning his life work.
4. A comparatively large number of the students are taking
the study of law for informational and cultural purposes.
The 'Student body is drawn mostly from business and pro-
fessional men, although almost every vocation is represented-
For the most part the men are relatively mature — a recent
survey showed 20 per cent of the student body to be over 30
years of age and 38 per cent of the student body 26 years or
older. The contact with one another of students from various
fields of activities and of widely ranging ages is of considerable
value as an aid to the development of those personal qualities
which tend to make for social efficiency. Over 34 per cent of the
students have had at least one year of college work prior to
entering the school — a large number of these college men
having received degrees.
It is felt that the admission of women, effective September,
1922, has added a valuable element to the student body and has
furnished opportunities for law study to a group of highly
efficient women who desire personal advancement and a life of
professional service. The success of women students in the
leading law schools of the country, with the exception of
Harvard and Columbia where they have never been admitted,
is such as to leave no room for doubt as to the advisability of
admitting them to the study of law. Universal suffrage and the
consequent opening up to women of various public offices have
made it more than ever desirable that women be permitted to
15
enter upon the study of law in preparation for more efficient
community and political leadership and for active professional
practice.
METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
There are three methods of instruction employed by law
schools: The lecture method, in which the instructor gives a
presentation exercise and assigns cases to be read; the case
method, in which cases are assigned to be read in advance, and
later discussed and commented upon in class; and a combination
of these two systems, in which the instructor's lecture or
presentation of the essentials is followed by the discussion of
cases previously read.
Twenty-six years' experience has led the School of Law to
adopt a modification of the third method, namely: Lecture, or
citation, and discussion, supplemented with written tests and
systematic quizzes. The value of this method is clearly demon-
strated by the success of the students at the bar examinations
and later in practice.
THE FACULTY
The success of the Law School can be attributed, in large
measure to two factors: First, to impartial administration
whereby the rules relating to attendance, grading, examinations
and scholarship are strictly and impartially enforced; and
above all, to the Faculty, which is made up of men, many of
whom have graduated from their respective law schools with
scholastic honors, and all of whom have been successful in the
legal profession. The contact of the students with practising
attorneys of broad experience, liberal training, and high
ethical and professional standards has proved of inestimable
value; and has resulted in the development of a school which
has been to the highest degree successful.
16
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The following are the admission requirements to the School
of Law:
1. The applicant must be at least eighteen years of age.
2. The applicant must be of good moral character.
3. A student entering as a candidate for the LL.B. degree
must furnish satisfactory credentials showing that:
a. He is a graduate of an approved day high school, or a
school of equal grade,
or,
b. He is a graduate of an institution of recognized colle-
giate grade,
or,
c. He has completed satisfactorily fifteen units of second-
ary school work in an approved day high school or in a
school of equal grade,
or,
d. He must pass satisfactorily entrance examinations
covering fifteen units of secondary school work.
or,
e. Men of maturity and business experience, who, while
they have had a certain amount of high school work
have minor technical deficiencies in previous training,
must pass a Thorndike Test of General Intelligence for
high school graduates, which is used for admission to
colleges and professional schools, with a score indicating
the general intelligence expected of high school gradu-
ates, and must meet such further requirements as the
Committee onAdmission may prescribe. Applicants who
desire to take the examination must in each case secure
permission from the Dean to do so.
17
4. A limited number of special students, not candidates for
the degree, may be admitted to the School at the discretion of
the Committee on Admission and the Dean. Such students
must furnish satisfactory evidence of maturity and of ability to
pursue a law course. Those admitted as special students can
in no way be subsequently re-classified as regular students and
receive the LL.B. degree.
The attention of men who, because of previous education,
cannot enter the Law School as regular students in candidacy
for the LL.B. degree is directed to the following rules of the
Bar Examiners of Massachusetts:
a. "All applicants who are graduates of a college, or who
have complied with the entrance requirements of a
college, or who have fulfilled for two years the require-
ments of a day or evening high school or a school of
equal grade, or who have an education equivalent
thereto, shall, so far as their general education is con-
cerned be deemed qualified to be admitted to the Bar,
and shall be considered eligible to take the regular law
examinations."
b. "The rule of the board as to term of study of the law
will be satisfied by four years' study in any
approved evening law school having a four years'
course . . ." By this rule an applicant need not be a
graduate of an evening law school — four years' study
being sufficient to meet the Bar requirements in
Massachusetts.
In view of the above rules of the Massachusetts Bar Exami-
ners, men who possess maturity, experience, and general fitness
for the legal profession may enter upon the study of law and
meet the Bar requirements, even though they do not possess
educational qualifications required of students who are candi-
dates for the LL.B. degree. Such special students as are ad-
mitted to the School will be furnished certificates of completion
showing the courses which they have pursued and the grades
which they have attained while members of the School.
18
5. Women are admitted to the School under the same con-
ditions as men, that is, under the admission requirements as
outHned above.
ADVANCED STANDING
Candidates for admission to advanced standing should file
their applications and credentials regarding previous study of
law with the Dean. After consideration of the standing of the
school and the nature and extent of the applicant's attendance
and scholarship thereat, the School authorities will apprise the
applicant of his status as a student upon entering the Law
School.
One or two years' attendance at an accredited three-year
day law school may be counted as a part of the required four-
year period of school attendance.
APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION
Applications for admission to the School should be filed as
early as possible in order that the case of each applicant may be
thoroughly investigated and his status definitely determined
before the opening of School. Furthermore, on account of large
enrolments, it has been found necessary to limit the size of
the entering class: for this reason, also, it is vital that those who
wish to be assured of admission to the School, file their
applications well in advance of the opening date.

The application fee is payable only once, on initial entry to
the School.
WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS
Students who are forced to withdraw from the School are
requested to notify the School office in writing to the effect that
they are withdrawing, giving their reasons for doing so. These
notifications should be given promptly.
As the School assumes the obligation of carrying the student
throughout the year when the student registers, and as the
University provides the instruction and accommodations on a
yearly basis, the Executive Council of the University has ruled
as follows:
21
A. Applications for refunds must be presented within sixty
days after withdrawal from the School.
B. Credits and refunds will be granted only as stated below:
1. The unused portion of the tuition paid by the applicant
may be placed in suspense and used at some future
time to apply upon the tuition of any school in
Northeastern University. This is done, provided the
reasons set forth in the application meet the approval
of the Committee on Refunds, and on the further
condition that the credit be used within two years.
2. Cash refunds may be granted only in cases where
students are compelled to withdraw on account of
personal illness. The application must be accom-
panied by a satisfactory certificate from the
physician.
In the event of withdrawal after initial application for ad-
mission has been filed, no refundment is made of the five dollar
appHcation fee. If a student is forced to withdraw, because of
non-acceptance by the School, he will be refunded one-half of
the application fee, or two and one-half dollars.

Owing to the delay each year on the part of the students, and
the consequent rush on the opening night, those desiring ad-
mission are requested to register during the two weeks previous
to the opening of the School.
For application blanks for admission to the School, or for
further information, address the Dean of the Law School.
It is of the greatest importance that students attend the
lectures from the opening night and receive credit therefor.
In order to receive attendance credit students must enroll and
arrange for the payment of their tuition. After the application
blanks have been filed in the office of the Law School, letters
have to be written and credentials have to be obtained and acted
upon before the students' status can be determined. This
necessarily requires considerable time. Manifestly, students
should not wait for the status reports but should enroll and
commence work at the beginning of the school year.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
ATTENDANCE UPON LECTURES
1. The student must attend at least one-half of the lectures
and review quizzes in a course in order to be permitted to take
the examination therein. No exception is made to this rule.
2. If the student attends at least three-fourths of the lectures
and review quizzes in a course, he is entitled to take the ex-
amination therein and will pass if he attains a grade of 60
per cent.
3. If the student attends between one-half and three-fourths
of the lectures and review quizzes in a course, he must furnish
satisfactory excuse to the Committee on Attendance for the
absences under three-fourths in order to be permitted to take
the examination therein; and, further, he must attain a grade
of 70 in order to pass in such examination.
4. A student must have an aggregate attendance of at least
two-thirds of all the lectures and review quizzes scheduled for
him in a given year in order to be enrolled the year following as
a regular student.
5. A student must have an aggregate attendance of at least
two-thirds of all the lectures and review quizzes scheduled for
him in his entire curriculum in order to qualify in attendance for
his degree. No exception is made to this rule.
6. In order to receive credit for attendance a student must
be present in the classroom during the entire period, unless,
upon satisfactory excuse, his presence for a shorter period is
accepted by the Committee on Attendance.
EXAMINATIONS
One final examination is regularly given in each course at the
close thereof.
One make-up examination is regularly given each year in
each course, those in Senior subjects in the spring and those in
Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman subjects in September.
24
(See schedule for September, 1924, on page 2.) Moreover, a
student may take as a make-up any mid-year or final examina-
tion regularly given in the course in which he is conditioned.
A student who fails in the mid-year or final examination in a
given course receives credit for only 60 per cent even if he
obtains a higher grade in a make-up examination in that course.
If a student, for good cause, does not take the examination
given at the close of a course, he will be permitted to take it
any time thereafter when an examination in that subject is
regularly scheduled; and, since that will be his first examination
therein, he will receive full credit for whatever grade he attains.
The receipt of a passing mark in a course precludes a student
from another examination therein.
A fee of two dollars is charged for each condition examination
taken by a student. This sum must be paid on or before the date
of the examination and no man will be admitted to any con-
dition examination until the fee has been paid in full. Students
desiring to take condition examinations should report to the
School Office to make necessary payments and to receive ad-
mission cards to the examinations. This rule does not apply to
men taking, as make-up examinations, the regular examinations
given at the close of a course.
In order to be permitted to take an examination in a course,
the student must qualify in attendance. (See attendance
regulations.)
TESTS
A system of tests is maintained whereby two tests are
regularly given in each full year course and one test is regularly
given in each half-year course. In each of the two tests in a full
year course a maximum of five points is obtainable toward the
student's final grade or in both tests combined a maximum
aggregate of ten points is obtainable toward a student's final
grade. In the half-year courses the one test that is given is
longer than is the test in a full year course, a maximum of ten
points being obtainable in the half-year courses toward a
student's final grade in the particular course in which the test
is taken. In each instance the remaining ninety points is ob-
25
tainable by work in the regular examinations given at the con-
clusion of the courses.
If a student does not take certain of the tests when they are
regularly scheduled, he will be permitted to do so at any time
thereafter when the test in the subject is given, with the re-
quirement, however, in a full-year course, that a man who has
missed the first semester test must take a first semester test as a
make-up, and a man who has missed a second semester test must
take a second semester test as a make-up. If a make-up test is
the first trial which a man has made, he will receive credit for
whatever grade he obtains.
The receipt of three points in a test in a full-year course pre-
cludes the student from taking a corresponding test in that
course. If a student received less than three points in a test in
a full-year course, he will be permitted to take the correspond-
ing test in that subject when it is regularly scheduled, but will
receive credit for only three points even though he obtains a
higher grade.
In the single test in a half-year course a student who has
received six points in the test cannot take another test in that
subject. A student who receives less than six points in the test
given in a half-year subject will be permitted to take the test
again when it is regularly scheduled, but will receive credit for
only six points even though he obtains a higher grade.
SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS OR TESTS
Under no conditions will special examinations or tests be
given in a course. Students desiring to take examinations or
tests must either take the regular final examinations or tests or,
in case of examinations, the regular make-up examinations in |
the subjects in which they desire to be re-examined.
MARKS
For relation between attendance and marks, see pages 24
and 25.
With respect to grade, a student is entitled to a degree if he
obtains at least 60 per cent in all courses scheduled in the entire
26
four-year curriculum or if, failing in one Senior subject, he
obtains an average of at least 65 per cent in all courses so
scheduled; provided always that his attendance is not such as
to require 70 per cent as a passing mark.
It will be noted from the foregoing that attendance affects
the student in two ways; viz., (1) in qualifying to take examina-
tions in his respective courses, and (2) in qualifying for the
degree.
The required period of attendance at the School is four
years, except for students entering with advanced standing.
A student qualifies for cum laude distinction if he obtains an
average of at least 85 per cent in all courses scheduled in the
entire four-year curriculum.
Grade reports are mailed to the students from the ofTice of the
Dean, or of the divisional director in cases of divisional schools.
LAW CONDITIONS
No student who fails to pass the examinations of his class will
be permitted to continue with the class, except by special
permission. Any student who during two successive years shall,
fail to pass a sufficient number of examinations to enable him,
in the opinion of the Committee on Administration, to proceed
to a higher class may be dropped from the rolls of the school.
No student, who fails on account of law conditions, to re-
ceive his degree in due course, will be permitted to remove his
conditions and quahfy for the LL.B. degree by examination
only, later than one year following the graduation of his regular
class, or other than by actually taking over and passing
examinations in all of the courses in which he has failed. Per-
mission to repeat courses and the conditions under which such
work can be taken will be decided upon by the Committee on
Administration in each individual case.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE
In order to qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Laws, a
student must meet the following requirements:
Be at least twenty-one years of age at time of receiving the
degree.
27
Comply with admission requirements.
Make the required attendance upon lectures.
Obtain the required marks in all courses scheduled for the
degree.
Note. Candidates for graduation should file their applica-
tions together with their graduation fee in the Law School
office not later than March 1st of the year in w^hich they expect
to receive their degree.

In addition to the formal lectures the students meet regularly
throughout the year for a systematic review of the material
covered by the regular lectures. In Boston the Freshmen meet

MOOT COURT
In connection with the course on Practice, a Moot Court is

cordance with the practice prevailing in the State courts.
Students are designated to act in the capacity of clerks, at-
torneys, parties and of others who regularly make up the
personnel of the usual court organization.
Instruction of a practical nature is thus given to the students
in matters pertaining to practice. They are shown what steps
have to be taken preliminary to the trial and how to take them;
they have the intricate procedure of the trial visualized for
them; and they are made to carry out in detail all measures
which need to be taken supplementary to the trial in order to
reahze the benefits of a successful issue or to safeguard the
rights of clients in case of an adverse decision.
In a word, the purpose of the Moot Court is to give the
students actual experience in using in a practical way the
knowledge of the law which they get in the other courses of the
curriculum.
SPECIAL LECTURES
Special lectures are offered from time to time on subjects not
included in the regular program of instruction. These lectures
38
are open to members of the Law School without additional
expense.
BAR EXAMINATION REVIEW
{Twenty-four Sessions)
Ample provision is made for reviewing the work of each year
in our regular School schedules; and, at the close of the full
course — just previous to the bar examination — the whole field
of the law is covered by a systematic review of great value to
the students. Mr. Asa S. Allen, Associate Dean of the Law
School, is most effective in this review work in Boston, and his
classes are attended, not only by Northeastern students, but by
graduates of the other New England Law Schools.
In order to make the work of our Law School as valuable as
possible, an arrangement has been made whereby each regular
member of the Senior Class in Boston may attend this review
course without additional expense.
This opportunity for free instruction will be available to
students but once, and then only upon the presentation of a card
of admission signed by the Dean. Graduates of other law schools
who desire to take this review course will arrange personally
with Mr. Allen.
Adequate bar reviews are conducted in each Division of the
School by competent instructors.
39
GENERAL INFORMATION ,
HISTORICAL SKETCH '
The incorporation of Northeastern University of the Boston
Young Men's Christian Association in March, 1916, marked the
culmination of a notable development. The University is the
realization of an ideal carefully worked out and persistently
followed for many years. One of the first lines of endeavor of the
Boston Young Men's Christian Association, after its establish-
ment in 1851, was the opening of evening classes for young men.
It was not, however, until 1896, that the actual foundations for
the University were laid. The larger number of courses offered
required a more comprehensive organization. Gradually the
courses were grouped under separate schools and additional
courses were offered to complete the curriculum of each school.
The School of Law, established in 1898, was incorporated in
1904 with degree granting power. Founded in 1907, the School
of Commerce and Finance was authorized in 1911 to confer the
degrees of Bachelor and Master of Commercial Science. The
School of Engineering was opened in 1909 and given power in
1920 to confer the following degrees: Bachelor of Civil Engi-
neering, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of
Electrical Engineering, and Bachelor of Chemical Engineering.
The School of Business Administration was opened in Septem-
ber, 1922, and has the right to grant the degree of Bachelor of
Business Administration. In addition, the Evening Poly-
technic School, the Huntington School for Boys, the North-
eastern Preparatory School, the Automotive School, and the
Vocational Institute are conducted under the administration of
the University. Divisions of the University offering evening in-
struction have been established at Worcester, Springfield,
Bridgeport, New Haven, and Providence.
BOOKS
Case-books are required in the courses. These books may be
purchased by the student in many cases from the University
book store, in other cases directly from the publishers at their
Boston offices. If convenient, the books of the Law Library
40
may be used in the building. It is advantageous for a student to
own the books, however, in order that he may better employ his
hours at home.
Notes, note-books and general supplies may be obtained at
the book store at reasonable rates.
LAW LIBRARIES
Boston
The Law Library, located in the Y. M. C. A. Building at
Boston, is large, well-equipped and comfortably furnished. In
it may be found case- and text-books on all of the subjects
taught in the School, as well as on related subjects, the National
Reporter System, the State Reports of Massachusetts and New
York, the Enghsh Reports, United States Supreme Court
Reports, Corpus Juris Cyc, encyclopedias of law, etc. Additions
of standard law books of value to the students in their law
studies are being made regularly to the Law School Library, the
equivalent of over 5,000 volumes having been added in a single
year. A library is so essential to the success of a law school
that a great deal of attention to it is necessary in order to
insure that it is well-equipped and efficiently administered. For
this reason the Northeastern University officials are particu-
larly alert to meet the needs of the situation and to pro-
gressively build up an excellent and thoroughly practical Law
School Library which may serve as a working laboratory for the
students.
The library is open daily from 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m.
Worcester
The Worcester Division has made a good start toward
building up an excellent Law Library. A special library room
has been provided. New books are being added each year so
that the students may have the best material at their disposal.
Through the kindness of Mr. John Saxe, his Law Library of over
three hundred volumes has been made available for the stu-
dents. A full set of Massachusetts Reports, Acts and Resolves,
Digests, Case-Books, Text-Books and other valuable material
is available.
41
Springfield
Springfield is fortunate in having access to the splendidly
equipped law library of the Hampden County Court House. It
has, however, for the immediate convenience of its students a
library of several hundred volumes within its own building. Full
sets of Massachusetts Reports, Acts and Resolves, Digests,
Corpus Juris and Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure, and Case-
Books are available. Other valuable material is also on its
shelves through gift or loan of Faculty and friends. This in-
cludes material not only on American law but many sets of old
English Reports.
Providence
A small but well selected Law Library is available for all
Providence students. New volumes are being added regularly.
A full set of the Rhode Island Reports, Standard Case-books,
Statute Books and other valuable reference material has been
placed in a specially fitted room to which students have easy
access during the day or evening.
By special arrangement the Supreme Court Law Library is
open at least one evening each week for the use of students.
BUILDINGS
The School of Law is housed in the Y. M. C. A. Buildings in
Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and Providence. Each of these
buildings is of modern construction and offers excellent and
varied facilities for the use of the students.
CLASSROOMS
Adequate, well-lighted, heated and ventilated classrooms are
provided.
DORMITORIES
In each Y. M. C. A. Building are dormitory facilities where-
by students may secure comfortable, and well furnished rooms
at a minimum price. There is a congenial atmosphere of
fellowship and of social life in the dormitories, and opportuni-
ties are available for forming the best type of friendships.
42
PHYSICAL CULTURE
Each building has unexcelled facilities in the nature of
gymnasiums, swimming pools, and bowling alleys. Opportuni-
ties are provided for practically every physical activity. School
of Law men are urged to avail themselves of the opportunities
for physical training. It is especially necessary that men who are
employed during the day and studying in the evening take
some kind of adequate exercise in order that they may do the
most effective school work.
REDUCED GYMNASIUM RATES TO STUDENTS
In order to insure the use of the gymnasium and to bring it
within the means of all students, reduced rates are granted to
students.
OTHER RECREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
Other recreative opportunities of a widely varied nature are
offered in the form of billiard rooms, libraries, game rooms, and
other facilities. In fact the Y. M. C. A.'s in which the School of
Law is located are equipped for almost every type of clean,
virile, and wholesome activity.
SOCIAL LIFE OF THE SCHOOL
The constant association with other men of outstanding
ability from nearly every type of human activity is of in-
calculable value to the student of law. In addition to the usual
classroom contacts men are also brought into contact with one
another through special lectures, class dinners, and other school
functions which are highly profitable and pleasurable.
THE Y. M. C. A.
Northeastern University is conducted by the Young Men's
Christian Association and, though non-sectarian, is thoroughly
Christian in character. Students are encouraged to participate
in the activities of the Student Christian Association of the
University, so far as is consistent with their own particular
43
religious beliefs. However, a student should not hesitate about
entering the School because of religious faith, no attempt being
made to influence one to participate in activities which are
contrary to the tenets of his particular religion.
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Students are cordially welcomed and urged to participate in
all the activities of the Y. M. C. A. — it is hoped that they will
feel free to do so to the largest extent possible. In connection
with the various departments of each Association, an ample
social and religious program is provided, so that all men should
be able to find that type of activity in which they are most
interested. Full information may be received on inquiry.
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY CLUB
The Northeastern University Club was organized in
the spring of 1921 with graduates of the Schools of Law,
Commerce and Finance, and Engineering as charter members.
The purpose of the Club is to promote social activities among
the alumni of Northeastern University; to perpetuate the
