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 persis-
tently 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 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 191 1 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 Engineer-
ing. 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
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 Massachusetts
Legislature. Divisions of the University offering evening in-
struction have been established at Worcester, Springfield, New
Haven and Providence.
In fifteen 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-
15
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
ments of scholarship and character, equipment worth thou-
sands of dollars, a highly-trained and able faculty, and an
enrollment of over eleven hundred students. Young men of
moderate financial resources may receive college engineering
training, defray part of their expenses, and in addition become
familiar with the actual practice of their profession.
BOSTON
Many advantages from its location in Boston accrue to the
students attending Northeastern University. The Boston
Museum of Fine Arts, which is located within a few blocks of
the University, contains one of the greatest collections of paint-
ings, sculptures, and other objects which confer unsurpassed
opportunity for artistic education and enjoyment. Boston is an
important musical center and is visited by many lecturers and
men of note.
Points of historical interest including the Old North Church
in which the famed signal lanterns were hung; the Old State
House in which famous leaders of the Revolution attended
to matters of state, the Old South Meeting House and Faneuil
Hall, the rendezvous of the Revolutionists, sites of the Boston
Massacre and Tea Party, and the present capitol of the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts add much to the attractiveness
of Boston as an educational center. Located in Charlestown is
Bunker Hill Monument of Revolutionary fame.
In Cambridge, which is located just across the Charles
River, are found former homes of Longfellow and Lowell, the
Elm under which Washington took command of the American
Army, Harvard University, and other points of historical
interest.
Passing through Cambridge and Arlington is the road lead-
ing to Lexington and Concord along which the British soldiers
retreated after the first battle of the Revolution.
Boston's park system and reservations of the Metropolitan
District Commission afford splendid opportunity to enjoy
nature, scenery, and pleasing environment.
Railroad and other transportation facilities afford many and
convenient means of communication with the immediate and
more distant parts of the country.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Object of the School of Engineering
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 charac-
teristic, executive ability, without which his life probably
would be spent on the lower levels of industry.
The fundamental aim of the Northeastern University School
of Engineering 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 ofters five branches of engineering: civil, me-
chanical, electrical, chemical and administrative. 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 development 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 ob-
tained by prescribing the principal studies which the student
is to pursue.
17
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 alter-
nate at the plant of the employing firm. This procedure is re-
peated 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-
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. The greatest value can be derived from such courses
by the student only by continuing work with the firms offering
this type of training for at least one year subsequent to gradua-
tion. Statistics show that from thirty to thirty-five per cent of
each graduating class remain with their co-operating em-
ployers after graduation.
i8
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Engineering Practice Reports
The correlation of practical and theoretical work is further
promoted by required report writing. These engineering prac-
tice reports are written during the working periods by all co-
operative students. Subjects of these reports are selected by the
student after discussion with a member of the Engineering
Practice Department and must be approved by him. The re-
ports are designed to encourage the observational and investi-
gative qualities of the students and to help them to appreciate
more fully the extent and value of their experience. In fact,
they are short theses, rather than reports of work done by the
student in the plant. They are corrected by the Engineering
Practice Department and are discussed with the student dur-
ing the next following school period. Exceptionally valuable
results have been obtained from these reports in the past. The
value derived must necessarily be directly proportional to the
conscientious and intelligent concentration by the student
upon this phase of the work.
Engineering Practice Grades
Complete and detailed records are kept of the engineering
practice of each student. A progress grade is given for the
engineering practice completed to the close of each school
semester. It is based upon the written reports, the employer's
reports obtained by cards at the end of each working period
and by occasional personal interviews, and upon the general
attitude of the student toward all of the features of his engineer-
ing practice. It is not possible to secure a degree unless this part
of the course is completed satisfactorily.
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. Engineering practice is not required of freshmen
but will be provided for those who prefer to be assigned by the
School.
Some students prefer to secure their own positions. In such
cases, alternates will usually be furnished by the School, if
desired. Such individual arrangements are entirely acceptable
19
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 demon-
strated 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. The men under whose supervision the students have been
doing work are almost unanimous in their approval of our plan.
The enthusiasm, earnestness and intelligence the students
show in the performance of their duties is a subject of comment
among the employers.
Assignment to Engineering Practice
A student is assigned to an engineering practice job by the
following routine : He is given general information in regard to
the work, the hours, the location, the rate of pay, etc. If the
job seems acceptable, he is given a copy of the Engineering
Practice Regulations governing co-operative work and is re-
quired to sign the agreement referred to therein. He is then
given a card of introduction and sent to the employer for
personal interview. During the interview with the employer
the student is expected to acquaint himself with further details
of the nature of the work and the conditions under which he
will be expected to work. He may then accept the position
subject to his acceptance by the employer. The latter indicates
his acceptance or rejection of the student by marking the
introduction card and returning it by mail to the school. It is
expected that no student will accept placement by the School
unless he intends to continue throughout the year in school and
with the firm 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 by previous arrangements with the School. In
all cases of absences from engineering practice, whether avoidable
or not, the student or a member of his family is required to notify
by telephone immediately the EMPLOYING FIRM and the
SCHOOL. Failure to do so is sufficient cause for dismissal.
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
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 counse 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.
During periods of business depression or seasonal cessation
of certain industries when it may be impossible for the School
to provide satisfactory employment for all students, a student
may be required to attend school and take additional school
work along with the full-time students. The passing of the re-
quired number of courses taken under such circumstances will
prevent lapse of credit toward the degree as the result of being
out of work.
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Credit obtained on the full-time plan cannot be substituted
for deficient credit on the co-operative plan and engineering
practice credit cannot be substituted for deficient credit on the
full-time plan.
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 regular inter-
vals 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.
$12 per week for the first and second years.
14 per week for the third year.
16 per week for the fourth year.
Ordinarily on the special training courses 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 is set. All employers are requested to pay
whatever rate the student proves himself worth. The average
is $18 to $20, even for men of exceptional ability, because the
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.
Massachusetts General Laws 1921, Chapter 149, Section 95:
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
"No minor over sixteen and under twenty-one shall be em-
ployed in a factory, workshop, manufacturing, mechanical or
mercantile establishment, or in a public or private bowling
alley, pool or billiard room, bootblack stand or establishment,
barber shop, or in the construction or repair 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 herein-
after 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
(i) 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
effective automatically, 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 employer 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
23
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
different assignment during his trial week is expected to stay
on the job until reheved 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 during working hours of
engineering practice periods in student activities must petition
the Engineering Practice Department, in order that the neces-
sary 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
Practice 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.
(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
departments, but must of necessity be varied in accordance
with the needs of those departments.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 association, 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 who 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 leader-
ship. This demand is a logical development in the evolution of
engineering education. "The Federated American Engineering
Societies, therefore, speaking for the engineering profession,
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 leader-
ship— high character, integrity, initiative, common-sense,
executive ability and resourcefulness — the university must
offer the best educational advantages.
Northeastern University recognizes its obligation in this
matter, and therefore offers in addition to its regular engineer-
ing courses an opportunity for a liberal education which is
designed to give the future engineer the broad training requi-
site to a successful career.
At present, work is offered in economics, literature, public
speaking, ethics, history, government, psychology, business
administration, industrial finance, commercial law, and soci-
ology. These courses are planned to make the engineer articu-

late, to acquaint him with the social and industrial conditions
which he.must sooner or later face, to give him an understand-
ing 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 life, and to awaken in him the vision of future
possibilities by introducing him to the best thoughts of the
ages.
Purpose of Full -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 organi-
zation and effective distribution as related to modern individ-
ual and social existence are germane in this schedule. In no
case, however, is it anticipated to develop 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, but no student may register for a full-time
course which duplicates a course offered in his engineering
curriculum. On this plan, the students attend school three
additional periods of five weeks each, each year.
Divisions
Students electing this plan are assigned to Division "AA" or
"BB." Division AA men enter the school with Division A
and take the same work as is offered 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
33
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
weeks until the students have had a total of four engineering
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 alternate
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 14 and will complete
their work May 15. Sophomores and juniors in Division B will
return to school October 19 and will complete their work
June 19.
All students, co-operative as well as full-time, are required to
work with co-operating firms during the senior year beginning
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-
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.
34
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Broader Liberal Eklucation
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-time course success-
fully pursued for five weeks.
Credit Requirements
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. 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.
Condition or Make-up Examinations in Liberal Courses
No condition or make-up examinations are given in the
liberal courses. Students failing to receive a passing grade in one
or more courses are required to repeat the work or substitute
some other full-time course during the year in which the
student is registered for full-time work. Deficiencies in the
required number of credits in the full-time course cannot be
made up by taking additional engineering practice. Neither
35
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
can a deficiency in engineering practice be made up by sub-
stituting credit received for work done in the full-time subjects.
When to Elect Full-time Plan
Students planning to avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded 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 in
remunerative employment, if he so desires.
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 317 schools :

ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT
Field Instruments of Civil Engineering
For work in the field, the Civil Engineering Department pos-
sesses various surveying instruments, representing the princi-
pal makes and types in general use.
The equipment includes four surveyor's compasses, two
Keuffel & Esser transits, five Buff & 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, lining rods, 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 for astronomical observations. For higher survey-
ing 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 modern machines
run by steam, gas, water, and electricity.
Under the steam apparatus located in the laboratory may be
included a fifty-horsepower uniflow steam engine of the latest
design on which a complete engine test may be run. This
machine is equipped with a prony brake for measuring the out-
put. A surface condenser is connected into the exhaust line
with the engine. A Chicago steam-driven air compressor is
set up so as to make complete tests on both the steam and air
ends of the machine. This is also tied in with the surface con-
denser. A Warren steam pump is arranged to run a standard
pump test, being connected with a low level jet condenser on
the steam end and a rectangular weir on the water end for
measuring the quantity of water delivered by the pump. A
40
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
twelve-horsepower single stage steam turbine to which is
direct connected an absorption dynamometer or water brake
so as to run a complete test on the turbine unit is available.
Other steam driven apparatus includes a steam pulsometer
pump and a steam injector.
The hydraulic equipment in the laboratory includes a two-
stage centrifugal pump with a dual drive or separate drive as
may be desired. The drive is direct from a D. C. motor or else
direct from a Lee single stage steam turbine. Other machines of
a hydraulic nature are a triplex power pump, motor driven; a
hydraulic turbine of the Pelton Wheel type, a triangular and a
rectangular weir for measuring quantity of water, besides the
necessary tanks, platform scales, and hook gages.
Under the gas laboratory equipment may be listed a Fair-
banks-Morse ten-horsepower gas and oil engine, so set up that
tests may be run using various kinds of fuels and complete
test data obtained ; a Ford automobile engine arranged to run
tests with different fuels and carburetors; and a gasoline air-
plane 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, CO2 recorder and other equip-
ment necessary for complete power plant tests. The plant
consists of four horizontal return tubular 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 separators; and four three-wire
generators, three of which are driven by Ridgeway reciprocat-
ing 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
efficiencies of various fuels, obtain the efficiency of modern
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 appli-
ances of a modern power plant. Apparatus is also availabJe for
slide valve setting, gauge testing, measuring flow of air, steam,
41
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
and water, prony brake testing, determining the quality of
steam by means of a throttling calorimeter, test on air blower,
and friction of drives.
Electrical Measurements Laboratory
This laboratory is equipped with apparatus of two distinct
types, first that planned fundamentally for teaching the princi-
ples of measurement and, second, that which is used in teach-
ing advanced standardizing methods as well as for keeping 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 deflection and substitution
methods, voltmeter methods for high resistance, insulation re-
sistance, specific resistance, use of slide wire and Wheatstone
bridges, electrostatic capacity, Poggendorf's method of E. M.
F. comparison, 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 type 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 another 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.
Last summer there were added, first a complete Reichsan-
stalt daylight type photometer equipment, and second a
Westinghouse oscillograph with full equipment; also a capacity
bridge working to one micro-micro- Farad. Micro ammeter,
standard wave meter and other equipment for radio measure-
ments; so that the laboratory is now ready for practically any
work in electrical measurements outside the absolute deter-
minations as carried on in National standardizing laboratories.
42
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
The instrument room is supplied with 60 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 8 polyphase and 12 single-
phase indicating wattmeters each of double current and double
voltage ranges.
For direct current working there are 54 voltmeters (of triple
range) ammeters and millivoltmeters of the above makes.
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 is equipped with 48 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 com-
pound 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 lo-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 H. P.

For transformers there are six single-phase G. E. type H
units wound for 550 volts primary and 220/1 10 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

6o-watt nitrogen filled tungsten lamps, and a pair of 550/220,
no 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
throughout the school year as the occasion arises so that a
complete up-to-date list cannot 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.
There are also speed governors and Tirrell regulators, both

found desirable at any particular time.
Chemical Laboratories
The laboratories are arranged in four units, one for each of
the general branches of chemistry; i. e., inorganic, analytical,
industrial and organic. To meet the requirements of the in-
organic 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. Con-
nected with this laboratory is a modernly equipped balance
room.
This special equipment includes a Freas electric dr^'ing
oven, a Kimley electro-anaylsis apparatus, an Emerson bomb
calorimeter, an Orsat apparatus for gas analysis, a Saybolt
viscosimeter. New York State flash point tester, a MacKey oil
tester, a Babcock milk tester, a Hoskins electric combustion
furnace, a Shriver type filter press, a vacuum filter pump, a
Holtzer Cabot motor generator unit, and an Allen-Moore
electrolytic cell.
The laboratory for organic work is especially equipped with
steam lines for distillation purposes, besides the usual steam
baths, drying closets, vacuum and compressed air lines and
hoods. The common chemicals, including acids, bases and salts,
are available 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
apparatus can be readily obtained.
Industrial Chemistry Laboratory
The laboratory for industrial chemistry is fitted for carrying
out processes on a semi-industrial scale, providing ample
opportunities for research.
The laboratory contains necessary equipment for verification
of laws of filtration, agitation, heat control, gas absorption
under varying manufacturing conditions. There is also in-
cluded equipment for studying electrolytical processes includ-
ing electrolysis, electroplating and electroforming.
45
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 Laboratory
The Physics Department has a large laboratory completely
equipped with all necessary apparatus for the experimental
work that is required of the students, as well as that required
for lecture demonstration. The apparatus and equipment
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
accessories, lenses, photometer, air thermometer, and a full
set of weather bureau apparatus, including barograph, thermo-
graph, hygrometer, barometer, maximum and minimum ther-
mometers, 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
University Library, which includes a large collection of
engineering texts, reference books, and current periodicals on
engineering and scientific subjects, and in addition there is a
general library of several thousands of carefully selected
books. The reading room is open from 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m.
daily.
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.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Equipment for Physical Training
Northeastern has exceptional facilities for all-round physical
training. The gymnasium with its i2-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,
basketball court, jumping pits and a track with a loo-yard
straightaway; baseball and football fields. Interclass contests
are arranged in basketball, baseball, tennis, indoor and out-
door 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
engineering 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.
One year of high school physics will be required of all
applicants for admission after the school year 1925-1926.
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 September 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. The
diploma of an accredited high school is accepted as evidence of
scholastic qualification for admission, if the applicant has
been graduated in the scientific, classical, or college prepara-
tory course and has included the five required units. A unit is
the credit given to a secondary school subject performed dur-
ing four or five periods, of not less than forty minutes, a week
throughout an entire school year, except English, in which case
one year's work is equivalent to three-fourths of a unit. Credit
in units is never allowed on certificates of tutors. Certificates
of entrance examinations passed for admission to other
48
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
colleges and technical schools may be accepted in lieu of
entrance examinations. The Committee on Admission re-
serves the right to require a candidate to present himself for
examination in any subject that the Committee on Admission
may deem necessary. Credits offered in fulfilment of the
entrance requirements cannot again be applied in lieu of
credits which are ordinarily received during the college
course. Students who obtain admission 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 sophomore work.
Specific Requirements for Admission
The applicant must offer all of the Required Subjects listed
below:

Special Students
In exceptional cases students who are not high school gradu-
ates 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 work, 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.
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.
50
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
By writing the School, prospective appHcants 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 exami-
nations, if possible, in order that any deficiencies then existing
may be made up in September.
The time of examinations is as follows:
10:00 A.M. to 12 M., English,
10:00 A.M. to 12 M., Algebra,
I :oo P.M. to 3:00 P.M., Plane Geometry.
During the current year the examinations will be given on
the following days: January 15, 1925; June 11, 1925; Sept. 10,
1925; January 21, 1926.
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 en-
trance conditions, or requiring further preparation for the
entrance examinations, may avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity 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.

DETAILED INFORMATION
Location
The School is housed in the three buildings of the Associa-
tion, 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 ths? business and residential
sections. A map is shown on page 64.
Transportation
The chief railroad centers of Boston are the North and South
Stations. From the North Station board a car going to Park
Street at which junction transfer to any Huntington Avenue
car which will discharge you close to the main entrance of the
school building. At South Station board a Cambridge subway
train for Park Street Under, there change to a Huntington
Avenue car and alight at Gainsborough Street a short distance
from the Main Building of Northeastern University.
Residence
It has been found to be much more satisfactory for the
student 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.
Residence in Boston is advisable as it gives the student
opportunity to use the college facilities outside of class hours,
and to confer more 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 report for early work if
necessary, which is often impossible if the student lives at a
distance from Boston. Moreover, residence in Boston gives the
student close connection with the activities of college life.
Dormitories
At present the School does not maintain dormitories, how-
ever provision is made to secure rooms in the vicinity of the
School or in the Y. M. C. A. dormitory — whenever possible —
52
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
for all students who desire such reservation. For information
relative to housing write the Director of Housing.
We are compelled to make argeements with the landladies
who furnish accommodations for our students. The School
endeavors to exercise due consideration and care for the stu-
dent's welfare while in residence at school. These combined
facts necessitate the adoption of rules and regulations pre-
sented herewith.
1. Assignments will be made when the student registers.
2. Students may inspect rooms before accepting an assign-
ment; after reaching a decision same must be reported to the
office of the Director of Housing, Room 463M.
3. Students who accept room assignments must retain same
for the period of their residence during 1 925-1 926, unless
given permission, by the Director of Housing, to change.
4. Section i. All students living in Boston, — whether
assigned by the Director of Housing or securing accommoda-
tions without such aid — must fill out a room registry card in
the office of the Director of Housing. This does not apply to
students living at home.
Section 2. Students living at home or with relatives
must notify the Director of Housing if a change is made which
involves rooming elsewhere than at home or with relatives.
5. Rooms secured by students will be inspected; if dis-
approved by the committee, the student will be requested to
find other accommodations or to accept assignment by the
School.
6. Students are expected to observe the general accepted
decencies of life and proprieties of American citizenship.
7. Violation of any of the above rules is considered a breach
of discipline and will be dealt with accordingly.
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.
53
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
Scholastic Year for Seniors
Seniors of either division, who are candidates for a degree
in the current year, must have completed all academic work;
class assignments, 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). 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
2. Mechanical 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 two dollars ($2) 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
arrange 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 Laboratory
All students taking chemical laboratory work are required
to make a deposit of ten dollars ($io) at the beginning of
each year, from which deductions are made for breakage,
rentals, and destruction of apparatus in the laboratory. Any
unused portion of this deposit will be returned to the student
at the end of the school year. In case the charge for such
breakage, rentals or destruction of apparatus is more than ten
dollars ($io), the student will be charged the additional
amount.
Students enrolled in the curriculums in Chemical Engineer-
ing will be charged a laboratory fee in accordance with the
following rates:
Course Fee
41-2 Inorganic Chemical Laboratory $10.00
42-2 Qualitative Analysis Laboratory 10.00

These fees are intended to cover power, normal wear in use
of equipment, other than measuring instruments, fuses, etc.
In no case do they cover damage to instruments caused by mis-
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.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Engineering Laboratory
Students taking courses in engineering laboratory will be
required to pay a laboratory fee of $2 per year.
Testing Materials Laboratory
Students enrolled in the course in testing materials labora-
tory are charged a laboratory fee of $2 per year.
Student Activities Fee
Each student in the School is charged a student activities
fee of fifteen dollars ($15). Freshmen pay $10 of this fee
at the time of registration and $5 with the second payment
on tuition. Upper class men pay five dollars ($5) on 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 University 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 University assumes the obligation of carrying the stu-
dent throughout the year. Instruction and accommodations
are provided on a yearly basis, therefore no refunds are granted
except 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, books,
suppHes, 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.
No student is justified in assuming that the Engineering
Practice Department will "take care of his expenses" or
53
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
guarantees to supply him with work sufficient to meet all his
needs.
A student should have on hand at the time of registration a
reserve fund adequate to provide for immediate needs or
unexpected contingencies. This should ordinarily amount to
at least the first year's tuition plus the student activity and
other fees, room rent and board for several weeks or a total of
about $300.
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 them 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 Administrative Committee 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 at3proved 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 term. Exceptions may be made in
59
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
certain courses where, in the opinion of the instructor, examin-
ations are not necessary.
Condition examinations will be given in all subjects during
the week of July 12, 1926, and the week of September 6, 1926.
Condition examinations are not given for courses in which no
final examination was given.
Special examinations may be arranged for only by vote of
the Administrative Committee and for all such examinations
the University requires the payment of a special fee of five
dollars ($5).
Probation
Students are placed on probation either by the Executive
Committee or the Administrative Committee. 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 Administrative
Committee, 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 P^r 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.
60
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
A mark of FF denies the privilege of taking a condition
examination, and the course must be repeated.
A mark of I is used for intermediate grades only and signi-
fies 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
privilege 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.
Absences 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
student has received permission from the Director of Student
6z
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 adyiser.
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 re-
peated 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 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
62
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
examination by improper means, is regarded as a most serious
offense, and renders thie 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 upper classmen is somewhat
different and tends more toward consultation and suggestion
bearing on the student's plans and probable work after
graduation.
Men engaged in student activities are assigned to special
advisers, who keep a constant watch over the academic prog-
ress of the student.
Relation of Students to General Public
Non-resident students are temporarily guests of Boston and
therefore must respect the wishes, rights, and laws of the
public, whose hospitality the students accept. If accused of
conduct unbecoming a gentleman and such accusation be
substantiated upon investigation, the offender may be sus-
pended or expelled from the School.

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 the treasurers elected in the
various classes, has general supervision over all social functions
of the School. It aims to further the interests of such organiza-
tions 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 super-
vision of 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.
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 Faculty Committee on
Athletics, appointed by the Deans of the Schools. This com-
mittee must approve all general policies in regard to athletics,
in particular, schedules and absences from school due to
athletics. The General Athletic Committee, consisting of
certain members of the Faculty and the coaches and captains
of the various teams, has charge of the administration of
athletics.
Under the guidance of efficient athletic coaches; track,
basketball, baseball, soccer, and wrestling teams are formed.
Schedules are arranged with other colleges for home games
and games abroad. Interclass baseball, tennis, swimming, and
other sports are also encouraged. Interclass and interdivision
meets are held during the year.
66
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Mass Meeting
Every Friday, from 12 to i, mass meetings are held. Atten-
dance 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 under the direction of the
Department of Student Activities.
The "Northeastern Tech"
The students issue a weekly paper called the Northeastern
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 business
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 Handbook
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 upper classmen.
Student Activities Fund Committee
In order to help finance the foregoing student activities, a
Student Activities Fund Committee has been formed, con-
67
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
sisting of the Chairman of the Student Activities Committee,
the Editor-in-Chief of The Northeastern Tech, and the Secre-
tary 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 consists of members
elected from each curriculum and from each class, as well as
the leaders of the various classes, organizations, clubs, and
teams. It acts as the supreme governing body. It has juris-
diction, under proper supervision of the Faculty, over all
student matters, such as customs, privileges, and such other
matters as 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 society, 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.
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
68
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
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
association 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, ten, and three prizes of five
dollars each are offered yearly by Arthur S. Johnson, the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, for excellence in the
presentation of original 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 Northeastern 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 Northeastern Union
Northeastern University is conducted by the Boston
Y. M. C. A., and though non-sectarian, it is thoroughly
Christian in character. The purpose of the Northeastern
Union is to carry out the work of the Christian Association
within the University. It endeavors to deepen the spiritual
lives of Northeastern men through the building of Christian
character, to create and promote a strong and effective North-
eastern University spirit in and through a unified student
body, to promote sociability within the school, and to em-
69
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
phasize certain ethical, social, civic, intellectual, economic,
physical, vocational, and avocational values.
All students are encouraged to participate in the activities
of the Union, as no matter what their religious faith, the v/ork
of the Union is entirely non-sectarian. No attempt is made in
any way to influence one to participate in any activities which
are contrary to the tenets of any particular religion. A good
moral character is the only requirement for eligibility to
membership. It is hoped as many students as can will partici-
pate in this ideal extra curricula work.
The Union organizes various branches. One of its most con-
spicuous branches is the Social Science Organization, which
endeavors to bring before the student body leading men who
are foremost in the various branches of the social sciences.
These talks are open to all members of the school body and
are held at a time when the entire student body can attend.
Moral and Religious Influences
Many of the churches of Boston have cordially thrown open
their doors to students providing special programs, dis-
cussions, hikes, conference hours and so forth.
Through the Northeastern Union students are informed of
the location, hours of service, religious activities and special
attractions of all the churches of Boston.
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.
^'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

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
efficiency. Any student who does not show in the fourth-year
71 ■
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 $io is
required of all candidates for a degree. This fee must be
paid at the beginning of the second semester.
Graduation with Honors
Honors are based upon excellence of scholarship main-
tained by students while in residence. Two honorary distinc-
tions are conferred upon properly qualified students at
graduation.
1 . Those who complete all scholastic work with an average
above ninety per cent are graduated with high honor.
2. Those who complete all scholastic work with an average
between eighty and ninety per cent are graduated with
honor.
Students graduating with honors must have been in resi-
dence at least two years immediately preceding graduation.
Positions Held by Graduates
The graduates of the School have been able to secure
positions of high grade, commanding proportionate salaries.
Positions as construction engineers, power plant engineers,
electrical engineers, designing draftsmen. State and Federal
employees under Civil Service, and instructors are now held
by graduates of the School. The success of those who have
been graduated from the School is the best evidence of the
value and thoroughness of the training offered.
72
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 Semes-
ter; 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 84).
In the following tabular summary of curriculums (pp. 75-84)
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 Synopses of Courses, beginning on page 86.
Those courses preceding by o indicate general subjects. The
work which is under the direction of the General Departments
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 i 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
Engineering; 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 topographi-
cal 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,
waterworks, roads and streets ; the design and construction of
girders, 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 labora-
tory. 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 railways and high-
ways and to undertake intelligently supervision of work in the
allied fields of mining, architectural, and electrical engineering,
and general contracting.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Mechanical Engineering Curriculum is designed to give
the student a broad foundation in those fundamental subjects
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, draft-
ing and designing room practice, with special reference to the
following branches: applied mechanics, heat engineering,
industrial engineering, hydraulic engineering, applied electric-
ity, machine design and experimental engineering.
Along with the theoretical work, there runs a well planned
laboratory course which is expected to develop the students'
initiative and instil accuracy. The students perform the tests
themselves on the machines such as engines, compressors,
pumps, and other power plant equipment, and make reports on
the results obtained.
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
modern industrial conditions, in order that the student may
connect 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 engineer-
ing periodicals. At all times it is sought to develop self-confi-
dence in the student, and he is encouraged to take the initiative.
The Mechanical Engineering Department trains men
capable of designing, erecting, testing, organizing and manag-
ing. The department aims to produce trained engineers, whose
knowledge of fundamentals, technical theory, and engineering
judgment qualify the young graduate to develop in the
engineering field and ultimately hold positions of responsibility.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Probably none of the branches of scientific knowledge has
been so markedly modified during the past decade as that
relating to Electrical Engineering, nor has any other exerted
such a profound influence upon the scientific thought of the
period. A science, like a planet, grows in the main by a process
of infinitesimal accretion. Its theory is built like a cathedral
through additions by many builders of many different ele-
ments, and this is pre-eminently true of electricity. It is abso-
lutely essential that the electrical engineer who hopes to make a
success of his work should be able to grasp readily and absorb
effectively 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 funda-
mental necessity of obtaining a solid grounding in these three
subjects upon which the success of his future v/ork will
definitely hinge, nor can he be too strongly urged to include
physics in his high school preparatory course if he hopes to
avoid difficulty 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 differentiated 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 work.
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 and electrical 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 familiar-
ize 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 application of
his knowledge and training to the investigation and solution of
the many problems which modern industry presents.

ADMINISTRATIVE ENGINEERING
Engineering and industry have developed simultaneously,
thus the engineer who understands the underlying principles of
business is in great demand. Moreover, the successful engineer-
ing firm must have business experts on its staff. Engineering
severed from the industrial and economic world is an utter im-
possibility. This dual development of engineering and business
has given rise to a distinct branch of engineering which requires
men who understand the technique of engineering and at the
same time have the vision and liberality of progressive business
men.
Many men fill high executive positions and administrative
offices without having had technical training, but they have
acquired by experience and by private study the scientific
knowledge required in their positions. Training in both business
and engineering is a double asset to a young man. Some young
engineers have neither the aptitude nor the special ability for
a strictly scientific career; and some are ambitious to take up
administrative work. The number of high technical positions,
though large in the aggregate, is relatively small in comparison
with the number of graduates. The majority of them must face
the alternative either of filling routine positions or qualifying
themselves definitely for administrative positions. Engineering
students fitted to make the most of their opportunities should
not only be trained as scientists, but should also have first-
hand knowledge of the problems of production, exchange,
finance, government, labor and business principles.
The object of this curriculum is to prepare for executive and
managerial positions for which a knowledge of engineering
principles and methods is pre-requisite. Administrative engi-
neering is not intended for those who expect to become pro-
fessional engineers in the field of design and construction, nor
for those who expect to fill executive positions in which a
knowledge of engineering equivalent to that ordinarily gained
in any one of the other engineering courses is pre-requisite.

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 five cur-
riculums. In many branches the instruction given differs
widely from available texts in which cases notes on the lectures
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 prerequisite for that subject.
These requirements are vital to a clear comprehension of the
advanced work. In some cases, the required preparation 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.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
SYNOPSES OF COURSES
In the following synopses under each course, "Curriculums"
refers to the five principal curriculums of Civil I, Mechanical
II, Electrical III, Chemical IV and Administrative V. "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 laboratory
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.

This course is the connecting link between the industry and
the class room. The third and fourth-year men of each curricu-
lum 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
subject 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.

Fourth year, both semesters One hour per week
Each student who is a candidate for graduation must, during

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 pro-
fessional 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 or prior knowledge and a discussion
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 towards 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 prim.arily 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 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 public 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.

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 Boston schools, concerning a student in the School
of Business Administration, describes the type of man-
hood which Northeastern University seeks:
" In all my twenty years' teaching experience, I have
never seen a better boy. I would trust him with any-
thing. I would employ him in any capacity. There
are very few^ boys to-day that I would be willing to say
that of. I cannot recommend him too highly."
Personal, social, and civic efficiency — skill, knowl-
edge, ability that command respect; 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 constitute the bulk of the student body. The
School will continue selecting that type for its enrolment.
UNIVERSITY INFLUENCE IN COMMERCE
AND INDUSTRY
Here and there, highly capable men working up from the bottom
may, without a college education, reach the station of executive
control in a comparatively short time through industriousness and
genius. But in the normal run of business, 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.
Statis^cs show that about ninety per cent of college-trained
business men rise to large-salaried, responsible positions, in con-
trast to twenty-five per cent of the non-college-trained. The
reasons for this marked difference appear in the following sections :
I. Revolution in Business Organization and Methods
Before the Industrial Revolution, when business was very simple,
men were not professionally trained for commerce but came gen-
erally to understand primarily the practices of a business rather
than the underlying principles of all business which determine the
practice of a particular organization. This understanding came
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, perhaps, adequate in a
period when the bewilderingly complex organization of modern
business did not exist.
II. Modern Business Demands upon Executives
To-day, our highly complex business organization, for the sake
of efficiency, demands of the worker a marked degree of specializa-
tion, while compelling the executive to be both a specialist in some
one field and at the same time a master of organization and admin-
istrative principles.
Since the worker must be limited to a special job, he has but a
slight opportunity to get that range of experience and broad
knowledge of business which alone can advance him to the higher
positions. The untrained employee almost invariably learns only
the details of his own job. This acquaintance with mere facts and
detail may prove sufficient for mechanical performance ; but broad
knowledge of universal principles and ability to apply them are
9
unfailingly demanded of the executive who is to shape the policies
of manufacturing concerns or of wholesale and retail houses.
Everywhere to-day business men are compelled to a deeper
understanding of the principles underlying business operations.
The paths of business are strewn with wreckage caused by the
fact that many untrained minds have ventured beyond their
special job. So sharp is competition, so great is the demand for
fundamental and broad knowledge of business principles that our
national and local Chambers of Commerce have been reorganized to
help meet the demand; manufacturing and merchandising associa-
tions have been overhauled to function as a medium of exchange of
knowledge; labor unions have undergone vital changes resulting
in a plan to establish labor colleges for the study of economic and
sociological principles underlying industry and life; and great
institutions of business research with vast wealth behind them
have been organized to place at the elbow of the executive those
tools without which his program is largely one of guesswork.
College instruction in the science of business has helped to reduce
guesswork to a science and has thereby narrowed the wide gap
between employee and executive. College instruction in business
has passed the uncertain period of experiment; it has demon-
strated concretely the fact that through such instruction young
men can master details of business more quickly than they other-
wise could and, at the same time, can get a grasp upon broad and
basic principles impossible to acquire from the day-by-day job.
There is marked evidence of these facts. First of all, thousands
of business houses contribute liberally to colleges of business
administration and cooperate with them in the guidance and
placement of graduates and undergraduates. Chambers of Com-
merce throughout the world heartily cooperate with such colleges,
many in fact depending upon these institutions to supply trained
Chamber of Commerce secretaries. Indeed, in some universities,
business men have endowed special schools as a source of supj)ly
for higliiy trained men. Some concerns, at a distance from these
schools, finding that their employees could not through experience
alone advance regularly to minor and major executive positions,
established schools of their own.
TTT. Professional Education Demanded
There are at least five conclusive proofs that to-day a high ]:)ro-
fessional business education is demanded as against the old-time
threadbare commercial training. First, educational history shows
10
that no highly special kind of education ever arose except to meet
a growing need. That l)eing true, the rapid development of pro-
fessional collegiate business education throughout the country
since 1880 is unmistakable proof that the need exists, for business
education is a highly special type of education. Secondly, many
non-collegiate business schools which formerly stressed primarily
Itusiness arithmetic, stenography, bookkeeping, typewriting, and
other elementary forms of business, have on the whole shifted
their emphasis from these minor factors to the major aspects of
business organization and administration. In the third place,
many such schools, not permitted by the government to confer
degrees, broadly advertise courses of college grade. Finally,
business itself has advanced from a position of insignificance to a
l)rofessional rank that commands the utmost respect of all; and
at the same time business practices have come under the direction
of great economic, social, ethical laws which mark the field as a
])rofession.
IV. High Professional Education Provided by the School
OF Business Administration
Ex-president Eliot of Harvard, 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 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 main-
tained with liberality."
These facts do not mean that graduates of the college of business
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 knowl-
edge of fundamentals of business organization and practices as a
whole, of interlocking factors in business — Economics, Business
Cycles, Corporation Finance, Factory Administration, Accounting,
Commercial Law, Production, Distribution, Advertising, Sales
Management — they can forge ahead more rapidly into the
executive rank.
11
The reason is patent. Intricacy of organization and complexity
of operation of present-day business render it almost impossible for
experience alone to develop that broad perspective of organization
as a whole without which a director of business hazards ruin.
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 thinking
and judgment result not so surely from experience in details as
from thorough knowledge of universal principles. Executive
leadership demands precisely that attitude of mind; the Uni-
versity purposes to develop it.
"It used to be the fashion to study medicine by cleaning the
doctor'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 medi-
cine and law — namely, by going to a professional school, where
progressive, systematic instruction rapidly developed is to be had."
The same fact applies to education for business; professional
training is required in principles as well as in detail.
Such training is best gained in the university. Within the last
fifty years, primarily because of the industrial revolution which
made business intricately complex, business has become a profes-
sion and collegiate commercial education has become a professional
education just as that of medicine and law.
Colleges recognize the fact that to-day business demands
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 law and medicine, business education prepares for a pro-
fession, 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 administration a profession. The university offering
commercial education prepares for business as a science and as a
profession — and in no other light whatsoever.
12
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
established departments of business administration. Some have
organized separate schools. All have recognized the fact that
these schools cannot supplant experience; rather they supplement
it by reenforcing detail knowledge, gained through individual
experience, with the broad knowledge of universal principles
accessible through recorded experience of thousands of executives
and through the study of the economic, psychological, and socio-
logical principles underlying experience.
DAY SCHOOL WITH DISTINCTIVE PURPOSE
For some time, officials of the University had purposed to
establish a distinctive Day School of Business Administration.
Conducted by the Boston Young Men's Christian Association,
Northeastern University is signally characterized by the spirit
of service to the community. Since the building of rational and
strong Christian character constitutes one of the most distinctive
services that education can render to society, and since the Uni-
versity, 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 foster the development
of such Christian manhood.
Nevertheless, the School is absolutely non-sectarian. While
lirief religious exercises, with attendance voluntary, are held at the
school assemblies, conducted by religious leaders in various denom-
inations, 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
al)out entering the school because of religious faith, no attempt
l)eing made to influence one to participate in activities which are
contrary to the tenets of his particular religion.
Since sound business rests not alone upon sound character, but
also upon sane business principles, the School was organized not
13
only to seek every available outlet for individuality and person-
ality, but also to provide as scientifically sound business educa-
tion as possible. 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 devel-
oping 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, Industrial Management,
Distribution, Banking, and related subjects.
In the light of that distinctive purpose, the Board of Governors
of the University authorized a new School of Business Adminis-
tration. The doors opened formally in September, 19'2'2, to a body
of thirty-nine students carefully selected.
So marked were the results of the first year that the second
opened with one hundred students, the third with one hundred
seventy-five, necessitating a restriction upon the freshman enrol-
ment for 1925-26.
SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL AIMS
The following aims, partially responsible for the recognition
accorded the School, constitute its educational policy:
First, to offer that type of education for business which will
enable the student to select more advisedly that field of business
best suited to his aptitudes.
Second, to build for breadth and thoroughness in preference to
overspecialization with its narrowing effects; therefore, to elimi-
nate haphazard selection of courses, by requiring concentration
upon a balanced, carefully coordinated curriculum; and, thus, to
provide an adeciuate background for later sjjecialization.
■ Third, in accordance with the highest develo])ment in education
for business, to provide primarily a sound knowledge of funda-
mental business practices and principles through systematic study
of basic business methods.
Fourth, in fine, to develop habits of accurate thinking essential
to sound judgment; to develop analytical ])ower, because of its
effectiveness as a method of a])proach to the executive's i)roblenis.
14
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In order that these aims may he reaHzed, the School has rejected
the traditional lecture methods. Of course, there must always
be lectures; nevertheless, where possible, the problem and the
case method obtain instead. Sheer textbook reading is almost
valueless; students tend to accept without question what the
textbook presents. Instead, they should learn to analyze every
proposition, to challenge unsupported assertions, to think inde-
pendently, and to support their thinking 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 constituent parts, discover and list the factors for and
against possible solutions, and work out a logical conclusion.
In class they discuss their work with their instructors in the light
of the latters' broader knowledge and, also, whenever j)ossible, of
the experience of executives who have actually faced these prob-
lems 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 facility 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 mechani-
cal 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 background for anticipating
and forestalling similar ones as well as for solving others that
may 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 retiuire small
classes. Numerous other studies are presented with equal effec-
tiveness in large classes. For example, law schools in general have
15
bulky classes; yet the teaching of law represents by and large
effective education. 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 effectiveness 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
fifteen 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; they must present char-
acter recommendations from (a) some teacher familiar with their
work and character, (b) some school official other than the teacher,
and (c) two disinterested business men. In the final determina-
tion of a student's admission, data from all sources are taken into
account. No student will be admitted unless evidence indicates
that he can profit thereby.
16
EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL 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 edu-
cational 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 and
preparing for it.
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 experience. The lec-
turers 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
particular points brought out by the lecturer. Conferences may
also be arranged with him for discussing personal problems.
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
different environment with conflicting claims; financially, he is
challenged 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 con-
tinuing 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.
17
To help students adjust themselves to these new conditions a
series 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.
In addition, all freshmen are required to take a half-year course
in the problem method of study, deducing therefrom the principles
of study in general and methods of application.
3. Personal and Group Surveys of Business
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 where students make surveys of location,
equipment, organization, and methods. Such vital contact re-
sults from the cooperation of certain commercial and industrial
concerns which invite inspection of their plants and study of their
problems and methods. Thus, not infrequently, the manager or
president of an organization reveals to these students plans,
problems, and methods that books do not commonly 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
student's business ability and interest. Therefore, in addition to
practical surveys, actual business experience is deemed funda-
mental during the course of student's training, both as a supple-
ment to his studies and as a preparation for business activities.
Tor this reason students are required to have had thirty weeks of
practical business experience before 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 l)oth under-
graduates and graduates in desirable j)Ositions.
-5- Business Research
Second-year students take one course in the study and analysis
of business fields witli resjiect to oi)portunities, limitations, de-
mands. Each person selects a limited number of vocations for
study. This course enables the student to decide more wisely
18
ill regard to his career and, accordingly, to choose his field of
sj)ecialization more advisedly for the last two years of his college
education.
6. Personnel Analysis
In connection with each of the preceding methods of guidance,
the School makes an intimate study of the student's personality,
interests, and ability. A student, at the time of admission or
shortly thereafter, 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
adviser.
(c) To furnish references from whom may be obtained informa-
tion which may be of value in the analysis of the individual
student.
7. Guidance
On the basis of the data secured, which take into account the
various factors of the student's personal history, the School offers
guidance along the following lines :
(a) Personal Development. Each student is assigned to an
adviser who confers with him from time to time throughout the
school year. This adviser has available for guidance in counseling
a student the information 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.
(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 investigation 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. Each student, on the basis of his historical
19
record of his college grade, of his personal analysis, and of his
accomplishment in the university, acquires a much more definite
knowledge as to his adaptability to business and the general field
in which he is most likely to succeed. This guidance is presented
carefully not with the purpose of choosing for the student, but
rather of assisting him to analyze his problem and make a choice
for himself,
(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 sevenfold plan of guidance constitutes the chief contribu-
tion 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 prepare him to meet more successfully the
demands of the business he enters.
20
ORGAXIZATIOX OF CURRICULA
BASIC COURSES
Analysis of the courses listed in the first two years will reveal
those subjects which are deemed a fundamental approach to further
specialization in the study of business, from the viewpoint of
executive direction and control. They constitute a groundwork
for the development of the executive. These courses are pre-
scribed for all students.
Such groundwork 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 business field, those subjects offered in their first years
of college must be of such nature as to equip each student with that
groundwork upon which his field of specialization rests. The
basic courses required in the first two years are designed to supply
that essential equipment.
Second, colleges throughout the country recognize their fresh-
man 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 they may
change their objective 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 principles of administration rather than technical
processes should constitute 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 charac-
terize their introduction to the study of business administration.
Fifth, while a fair number of sophomores in colleges and uni-
versities formulate career decisions before their junior year, num-
bers of these decisions undergo radical changes before or within
the next year. The foundation must be sufficiently broad to allow
for that shift in career with a minimum loss in time and value.
21
Accordingly, a fundamental groundwork, 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 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. There-
fore, a student's background 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 adminis-
tration before final specialization in any of the main divisions of
business 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 special-
ization in any of the main fields of administration in business and
industry.

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 tenta-
tive. In the last two years students specializing in one field may,
upon the Dean's approval, elect related courses from any other
field.
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
specialization, and because each student has a peculiar approach
to his specific field. No curriculum can exhibit the range of study
combinations possible for the most intensive specialization.
Each of the four curricula which follow presents in the first two
years those subjects deemed prerequisite as a broad, fundamental
background to more specialized study. On page 21 appear six
primary reasons for 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 coordination and balance of subject matter,
since each business field demands intimate knowledge of its particu-
lar problems and methods. With 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 study involved or permissible.
Accordingly, in reviewing the general outlines which follow of
curricula in Distribution Management, Industrial Management,
Financial Management, 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 almost
equally pertinent.
In the case of students who are uncertain as to the field of their
choice, it is suggested that they specialize in Distribution Manage-
ment because this field represents the largest single field of com-
mercial activity and because it offers an unusually broad range of
study.

Curriculum I
DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT
This curriculum is suggested for those who plan to enter whole-
saling, retailing, advertising, salesmanship, or other fields of selling.
The basic training in business as a whole is required the first two
years; in the last two years specialization is permissible.
Since only a small percentage of students have definite convic-
tions as to the field of business they desire to enter, and since the
field of distributing represents the largest single field of commercial
activity, it is recommended that most students specialize in Dis-
tribution Management. This suggestion is particularly pertinent
for those who are uncertain as to their choice.
The most difficult phases of marketing relate logically to prob-
lems of selling. These problems were comparatively simple before
the introduction of power machinery and the development of mass
production. This development made old marketing methods
useless in general; large scale, specialized production not only
demanded new and larger markets, or more intensive development
of existing markets, but also required a thoroughgoing reconstruc-
tion of marketing methods. Hence the sweeping revolution in
selling organizations and in policies and methods of distribution.
Not only the earlier, time-worn sales methods of manufacturers
have been swept away, but retail merchandising and wholesale
distribution have undergone and are yet undergoing profound
changes in management and in operation.
Despite the fact of reduced distribution costs, complexity of the
world's economic structure has increased production costs. A
significant problem for marketing, therefore, is that of cost reduc-
tion. To reduce cost in manufacturing is not primarily the work
of distribution agencies; nevertheless, in order to overcome the
handicap of heavy costs, many agencies have assumed the pro-
ducer's functions. Conversely, many producers have assumed
marketing functions in an effort to cut costs. Producer and dis-
tributor must now develop greater efficiency in methods, each
understanding generally the work of the other.
It is necessary to face unflinchingly the problems of mass dis-
tribution no less than of mass production. Chain store o})erations
— chain specialty stores, chain wholesale stores, chain department
stores — these highly complex agencies of distribution must be
studied with utmost care.

Curriculum II
INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT
The suggested curriculum in Industrial Management is to give a
general executive training and also to afford specialization in the
particular field of production.
Students who desire to become managers, assistant managers, or
superintendents in industrial concerns, are advised to take this
curriculum. The chief aim of this course is to give that broad
training in executive management essential to diplomatic, forceful,
efficient control of the human factor in industry, as well as of the
mechanical phases of manufacturing methods. Scientific manage-
ment is absolutely necessary: 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 acquaintance with sociology, are equally
important, especially in large organizations.
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 personnel problems of industrial management
together with a detailed knowledge of control routing, costs, labor
j)roblems, industrial organization, sales coordination, related
principles and practices.
This curriculum lends itself admirably to a combination of
theory and practice, through a large number of field trips to indus-
trial concerns where problems of location, eciuipment, organization,
and management may be profitably surveyed.

Curriculum III
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
The suggested curriculum iu Finance is designed for those
students who expect to engage in some phase of commercial or
investment banking, or of business finance. It offers opportuni-
ties for both general business training and specialization in the
fields of banking, finance, investments, and related fields.
After two years of ground work in business fundamentals, this
course provides specialization in the problems of organizing and
financing business and industrial enterprises: 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 the administrative point of
view, that is of the bank executive, are presented matters of limi-
tation of activities, organization, personnel, federal reserve system,
loan and credit policies, trusts, syndicates.
Particular stress is laid upon the promotion and expansion of
corporations, the underwriting of syndicates, and of sound account-
ing principles, together with their relation to state and federal
powers. Logically linked with these problems are those of invest-
ment banking, foreign exchange, public utility finance, and muni-
cipal financial problems.
This curriculum also involves a study of Bank Administration.

Curriculum IV
PROFESSIONAL AND MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING
The field of Accounting probably produces more executive heads
of business enterprises today than advance from any other one
agency.
With the growth in complexity of business, accountants bulk
more and more important in the organization and operation of a
successful business enterprise. Increasingly there is a demand for
well-trained men, both in the fields of industrial and commercial
accounting and in the profession of public accounting.
This curriculum, therefore, while preparing students for account-
ing positions in large corporations, for public accounting, and
ultimately for administrative positions as well, designed more
especially for those who desire to become professional accountants,
nevertheless provides an excellent background for future adminis-
trators.
In this curriculum the background of total business organiza-
tion is stressed to the utmost. The whole field of accounting is
intricately linked with both commerce and industry; constructive
accounting has to consider peculiar demands made l)y various
concerns; interpretation of accounts oftentimes depends, not alone
upon an accounting principle, but upon a principle of business
administration or of business law; the consulting accountant fre-
quently 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 adver-
tising campaigns and devoted their energies to "dealer help" in
matters of accurate accounting of all kinds illustrates the intimate
connections of accounting with business.
Accountancy 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
students with sucli (|ualities for the work of the cost accountant,
auditor, office manager, advertising manager, credit manager, or
sales manager, and also for other executive positions.

TWO-YEAR GENERAL BUSINESS CURRICULUM
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-year curriculum coincides in the main
with the work prescribed for all men in the first two years. How-
ever, where desirable, logical elections may 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
special students who have met the admission requirements for
special students (see page 43), and who do not desire to take a full
program. The programs of such students must, in each case, be
ap[)roved by the Dean.
32
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 courses may be
taken in the School of Commerce and Finance, especially those
courses of such extremely specialized nature that few day school
students would be enrolled in them. In other cases, when practical
business experience counts heavily in the instruction, students may
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 day 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 will 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 noti-
fication.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The constructive values of wholesome, active, recreational life —
social, religious, and athletic — are 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
development much that no mere course of studies alonecan 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 University: (1) competitive sports such as baseball, basket-
ball, track, swimming, wrestling, soccer, and tennis; (2) recrea-
tional 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
University Athletic Association. The Athletic Association con-
sists of all students of the Schools of Engineering and of 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 administra-
tion 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 associa-
tion also encourages soccer, wrestling, swimming, interclass base-
ball, and tennis teams. Interclass and interdivision meets are held
during the year.
2. Recreatiox and Health
Physical training is definitely classified as a regular freshman
course for which no additional charge is made. It is as much a
35
SWIMMING POOL
HOWLING ALLEY
part of the freshman year as is any other course, and a passing
^>;r;ule must be made for credit. No unexcused student will be
i'laduated who has not made his credits in physical training.
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
piovided in connection with the gymnasiums, swimming pool,
tennis courts, and other facilities.
Upper classmen are encouraged to make use of these advantages,
although physical training is not a required course beyond the first
>'( ar. 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
I'louped for physical exercise according to their condition.
Where deemed advisable, the School will require that students
take a prescribed amount of special, carefully designed physical
exercises at regular intervals for the purpose of correcting defects.
SOCIAL LIFE
The social life of the School consists principally of the following
activities:
The first is a reception given by the Faculty to the entire student
body.
The second is that of class activities. Classes hold regular
get-togethers, with cheering, singing, music, jokes, and acquaint-
ance-making. Occasionally the freshman class entertains upper
classes; annually, soon after the opening of school, the upper
classmen entertain the first-year students, providing one of the
most enjoyable occasions of the year.
The third variety of social entertainment is the Freshman Dance.
This annual affair, scheduled to occur within the first six weeks of
school, affords much enjoyment of the most wholesome sort.
Informal small group dances constitute the fourth variety of
social life. These are infrequent, yet sufficient to meet the normal
37
demands of concerted college life, because many of the students
attend dances held by their community groups.
The annual "Junior Prom" constitutes one of the most distinc-
tive functions of the year. This is a formal occasion in which
students, faculty, and friends take part.
Perhaps the most distinctive 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. Accordingly once each year the faculty
and students devote one day to a series of entertainments in which
the Home Folks share. There are dramatic presentations, min-
strel 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 iniique in tone, in
spirit, in value.
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 keej:* 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 Sunday
of each month.
THE BULLETIN
The student publication, The Bulletin, appears monthly. It
ranks high in ideals and influence.
CLUBS
The chief club activities relate to the dramatic club, the orches-
tra, the glee club, and the band. These constitute an important
value in the rounding out of a four-square manhood. All work
individually and collectively to furtiier various occasions of the
school year, such as dances, entertainments, and Home Folks Day.
38
FRATERNITIES
At present three fraternities hold charters from the School,
operating in a spirit of close cooperation. These fraternities are
the Phi Beta Alpha, the Alpha Sigma Phi, and the Kappa Zeta
Phi.
Each has a faculty adviser, elected by its members and approved
l)y the School. Each agrees in its charter to foster high scholar-
ship and to develop school loyalty, with especial attention to any
member who fails to meet academic or other requirements. No
student is eligible for a bid unless his academic record averages at
least C — .
The operation of all fraternities is supervised by the Inter-
Fraternity Council, composed of two members from each fraternity,
the Dean of the School sharing in all deliberations of this body.
HONOR FRATERNITY
There is one Honor Fraternity.
Its purpose is, through its membership determined on the basis
of personality, a broad program of activities, and high scholastic
standing, to foster high attainment in study and in activities
and to develop that high ethical and professional code which
increasingly characterizes business men.
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 pro-
gram is compulsory, or so narrow as to exclude anyone.
The ciiief agency for organizing and carrying out such a program
is the Student Christian Union, organized by and composed of
students particularly interested in this type of activities. The
Dean of the School acts in an advisory capacity to the LTnion.
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.
The chief functions of the Union, in organized form, are:
39
(1) Developing leadership through study and participation in
School and community activities which demand and develop
leadership; (2) assisting new students to find suitable housing
accommodations and controlling the housing program of the
School; (3) establishing among the students groups to study
life problems and leading or finding leaders for these groups; (4)
visiting any students who are sick or injured and helping them in
every way possible; (5) studying the stress universally laid upon
personality and character and fostering programs of self-develo])-
ment from the standpoint of Christian manhood.

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 to give 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 Uni-
versity 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
University. This is done, provided the reasons set
forth in the application meet the approval of the Com-
41
mittee 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.
In the event of withdrawal after initial application for admission
has been filed, no refund is made of the five-dollar matriculation fee.
42
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
I. 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 inter-
view 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. degree,
may be admitted to the School at the discretion of the Committee
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.
III. 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 reciuirements for the degree.
IV. Advanced Standing Students
Students who have successfully completed regular courses of
instruction in a school of business administration of a recognized
43
college or university may receive not exceeding three years' ad
vanced standing credit upon presentation of a satisfactory certifi
cate showing the courses completed. Admission is open in the fall
and at mid-year.
REGISTRATION
Registration involves two steps:
1. Filing A'pplication for Admission to the School An applicant
for admission should file a formal application as soon as Ite 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 afi'ecting 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
administration. Applications may be filed through the mail;
or personally, the applicant caUing at the School. A five-dollar
matriculation fee is payable when the application is filed.
2. Formal Registration. Formal registration consists in re-
porting at the School office on the registration date (see page 2 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
register after the opening date of School, provided tliey liave not
lost so much work as to render admission to the School inadvisable.
Business principles dictate that students should by all means avoid
late registration. Students registering a week or more late must
pay a post-registration fee of $.>.()().
MID- YEAR REGISTRATION
Under certain conditions, applicants for entrance at mid-year
may be admitted, especially in the case of (1) students applying for
advanced standing, (2) students who have graduated from high
school at the mid-term, and (3) special students. Should those in
the first two groups complete the requirements for graduation at
some succeeding mid-term, tliey would be nominally graduated,
but would not formally receive tlic degree until the June following.
44
RULES AND REGULATIONS
THE MARKING SYSTEM
The following system of grading the 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 reexamination 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
student will be expected not only to secure passing marks in his
courses, but also to do that grade of work which it is reasonable tc
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 achieving what he should. In such a case, the
faculty will exercise every effort to encourage and elicit that typei
of work commensurate with the student'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 examina-
tions. Class sessions are omitted during the examination period.
2. During the two weeks following the close of the second
semester, 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 l)efore the student may take the mid-year
or final examination in the course.
46
REEXAMINATIONS
Students who receive a grade below 60% in a course will be
permitted to take a reexamination in the course the following
September. If a student fails in the reexamination 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 reexamination is $3.00.
A reexamination cannot be taken to raise a grade.
PROMOTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Classification 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) . . 15| 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 parents or students, at times
other than the dates upon which regular reports are tendered, full
information with regard to status. In event the work of a student is
unsatisfactory, 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
absences are due to personal illness a physician's certificate
should be left at the school office.
47
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 w^ho 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
pursued 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 regularly count as one hour's credit toward
the degree. Under certain exceptional circumstances labo-
ratory work may count hour for hour as credit toward the
degree. A student to be eligible for the degree must com-
plete courses which will allow him the following minimum
credit :
First year 18| hours
Second year 15 hours
Third year 15 hours
Fourth year 15 hours
Total required for degree .... 63^ 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
examination of the course of 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.)
(d) He must have had at least 30 weeks of practical business
experience before the degree is granted. This business
experience may be obtained by work pursued during the
summer vacations.
48
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE
To secure the Junior Certificate a student must satisfy the fol-
lowing requirements:
(a) He must have met all of the admission requirements of
students who are admitted to the School as candidates for
the B.B.A. degree.
(b) He must complete courses which will allow him the following
minimum credit:
First year 15 hours
Second year 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 experience
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.
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT REGULATIONS
Students doing part-time work may be required to carry fewer
courses. Any student whose employment distinctly lowers his
performance in study, as exhibited in the academic reports, will be
required to drop either his employment or a part of his college
work. During the freshman year no student who can possibly
afford should attempt heavy part-time employment. Statistics
show conclusively that this division of time and energy almost
invariably results disastrously. It is far wiser to continue school-
ing at least one year more than to dissipate one's energies and
thought.
CONDUCT
It is assumed that students come to the School for a serious
purpose, and that they will cheerfully conform to such regulations
as may from time to time be made. In case of injury to any build-
ing, 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 equally upon all
the students of the School.
49
Students are expected to behave with decorum, 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 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 gra^•e
breach of discipline.
.50
GENERAL INFOR]MATION
BUILDINGS
The school is housed primarily in the buildings of the Boston
Young" ]Men's Christian Association, which are the finest structures
of their kind in America. In addition it leases a part of the Hunt-
ington Building, adjoining Symphony Hall.
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 distract-
ing influences.
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
foundation. With the exception of the front and west side, the
buildings are comparatively low, connected by corridors and
bridges. This arrangement provides exceptionally fine light and
air to all of them.
The six buildings are as follows: Administration, Assembly Hall,
Recitation, Xatatorium, 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
plants. 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
51
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
Gymnasium, 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 sup-
plied with filtered salt water from an artesian well, and is heated
to the proper temperature by an elaborate system of pipes. Alto-
gether the Natatorium 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 : three gymnasiums, a twelve-lap running track, two large
exercise rooms, boxing and wrestling rooms, handball and squash
courts, bowling 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 excep-
tional 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
L 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 adminis-
52
ration and allied subjects, together with current business periodi-
•als and the leading business services. The reading room of the
il)rary is open from 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. daily.
^2. The Boston Public Library. All members of the School,
vs'hether resident or non-resident students, have the privilege of
taking books from the Boston Public Library and of using the
ibrary 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 unlimited 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 increased 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
:.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
facilities 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-
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 near-by 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 Northeast-
ern spirit in the business life of the community; to give to their
53
Alma Mater the benefit of the experience of the ahimni in the
School and of their experience in business and professional activi-
ties 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,
granting 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
culmination of a notable development. The University is the
realization of an ideal carefully worked out and persistently fol-
lowed 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 Uni-
versity were laid. The larger number of courses offered require
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 191 1 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 x\d-
ministration was opened in September, 1922, and has the right to
grant the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. In addi-
tion, the Evening Polytechnic School, the Huntington School for
Boys, the Northeastern Preparatory 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 instruc-
tion have been established at Worcester, Springfield, 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.
I 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
I actual business in which they are engaged, and who will have as
ideals in their work, justice and service to mankind.
9
THE FOUNDING OF THE SCHOOL
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 either
through preparing for the legal profession or through a law
training which might be applicable in their business careers.
Prior to 1898 there was a persistent demand for an evening law
school which should be thorough in its instruction and con-
ducted in such a manner that its graduates would stand well at
theBar and be recognized as men of professional attainment and
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.
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
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
officially 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
since its establishment. 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. The complete four-year curriculum is 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
' jasic principles:
1. A non-proprietary evening law school with high scholastic
itandards — devoting all of its resources to building up the best
I ype of evening law school.
2. The case method as a basis of instruction: supplemented
)y lectures and review quizzes.
3. A Faculty made up of men who are graduates of the best
aw schools, who have achieved success in the legal profession,
md each of whom possesses, further, the qualifications of a
eacher.
4. A sound course of study.
5. High professional ethics and a preparation for the legal
)rofession, not only in a narrow sense, but in the broader sense
)f service to mankind.
6. Impartial administration — whereby the rules relating to
ittendance, grading, examinations and scholarship are im-
)artially enforced.
It is a matter of experience on the part of Northeastern
Jniversity School of Law that the principles enumerated above
;an be complied with on the part of evening law schools and
nust be complied with by this type of school; provided the work
)f 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
>ound course of study, and insists upon the highest possible
ithical standards, can be of incalculable value to society through
:he training of men who will, become efTicient leaders. With the
:endency from a republican representative form of government
0 a democratic form of government, in which the people are
iirectly responsible, it is more than ever imperative that men
De trained who are capable of the highest type of efficient
eadership. 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 sever
thousand four hundred and sixty students have been enroled^
including business executives, clerks from the offices of leading
attorneys; 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 eni
gaged in various other lines of activity. About 84 per cent of th(
1,042 graduates in Boston have passed the bar examinations ir
Massachusetts, or in other states, and of the remaining 16 pej
cent, the larger number are business or professional men wh(
have not intended to enter upon the practice of Law and, foi
that reason, have not attempted the bar examinations. Whei
these figures are considered in relation to the fact that of 61^
men recently examined in Massachusetts only 38 per cent wen
successful, the success of Northeastern University in preparing
for admission to the bar is apparent.
Various reports, alumni letters and other sources of infer
mation evidence the fact that those who have completed the re*.
quired course of study have profited immeasurably by th<
training which they have received.
INCORPORATION
In January, 1904, a bill was introduced into the Massachu
setts Legislature seeking the incorporation of the School, witl
the power to grant the degree of Bachelor of Laws. The rapic
passage of this bill by the legislature, and the cordial recogni
tion and endorsement of the School by the bench, the bar, anc
the heads of our day law and other professional schools, testify
in no uncertain terms to the position the School occupies in th(
educational activities of the Commonwealth.

Four general groups of students are pursuing the prescribec
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
iinctioning in business. With the increased complexity of
lusiness organization due to large scale marketing, large scale
reduction, and the development of means of communication
Q the form of railroads, and telephone and telegraph, it is
ertain that no training can be of greater value to business
xecutives than a training in law.
3. Students who are uncertain as to their life work and are
aking the law as a " finding" course. The study of law, because
: deals with practically every phase of human relationship, is an
xcellent means by which a young man can analyze himself
nd come to a definite decision concerning his life work.
4. A comparatively large number of the students are taking
' he 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
'urvey showed 20 per cent of the student body to be over 30
ears of age and 38 per cent of the student body 26 years or
Ider. The contact with one another of students from various
elds of activities and of widely ranging ages is of considerable
alue as an aid to the development of those personal qualities
/hich tend to make for social efficiency. Over 39 per cent of the
Indents have had at least one year of college work prior to
ntering the school — the larger number of these college men
aving received degrees.
It is felt that the admission of women, effective September,
922, has added a valuable element to the student body and has
Lirnished opportunities for law study to a group of highly
fficient women who desire personal advancement and a life of
rofessional service. The success of women students in the
?ading law schools of the country, with the exception of
larvard and Columbia where they have never been admitted,
o such as to leave no room for doubt as to the advisability of
dmitting them to the study of law. Universal suffrage and the
onsequent opening up to women of various public offices have
lade it more than ever desirable that women be permitted to
15
enter upon the study of law in preparation for more efTicien
community and political leadership and for active professions
practice.
METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
There are three methods of instruction employed by la\
schools: The lecture method, in which the instructor gives
presentation exercise and assigns cases to be read; the cas
method, in which cases are assigned to be read in advance, ani
later discussed and commented upon in class; and a combinatio:
of these two systems, in which the instructor's lecture c
presentation of the essentials is followed by the discussion c
cases previously read.
Twenty-six years' experience has led the School of Law t
adopt a modification of the third method, namely: Lecture, c
citation, and discussion, supplemented with written tests an
systematic quizzes. The value of this method is clearly demon
strated by the success of the students at the bar examination
and later in practice.
THE FACULTY
The success of the Law School can be attributed, in larg
measure to two factors: First, to impartial administratio
whereby the rules relating to attendance, grading, examination
and scholarship are strictly and impartially enforced; an
above all, to the Faculty, which is made up of men, many c
whom have graduated from their respective law schools wit
scholastic honors, and all of whom have been successful in th
legal profession. The contact of the students with practisin
attorneys of broad experience, liberal training, and hig;
ethical and professional standards has proved of inestimabl
value; and has resulted in the development of a school whic
has been to the highest degree successful.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The following are the admission requirements to the School
)f 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.
*A unit represents a year's study in any subject in an approved day secondary school,
jonstitutinjg approximately a quarter of a full year's work. A four year's day secondary
ichool curriculum is regarded as representing not more than sixteen units of work.
17
4. A limited number of special students, not candidates fo
the degree, may be admitted to the School at the discretion o
the Committee on Admission and the Dean. Such student
must furnish satisfactory evidence of maturity and of ability t
pursue a law course. Those admitted as special students cai
in no way be subsequently re-classified as regular students am
receive the LL.B. degree.
The attention of men who, because of previous education
cannot enter the Law School as regular students in candidac;
for the LL.B. degree is directed to the following rules of th
Bar Examiners of Massachusetts:
a. "All applicants who are graduates of a college, or wb
have complied with the entrance requirements of ;
college, or who have fulfilled for two years the require
ments of a day or evening high school or a school o
equal grade, or who have an education equivalen
thereto, shall, so far as their general education is con
cerned be deemed qualified to be admitted to the Bai
and shall be considered eligible to take the regular la\"
examinations." j
b. "The rule of the board as to term of study of the la\
will be satisfied by four years' study in an^
approved evening law school having a four years
course . . ." By this rule an applicant need not be ;
graduate of an evening law school — four years' stud^
being sufficient to meet the Bar requirements u
Massachusetts. \
In view of the above rules of the Massachusetts Bar Exami
ners, men who possess maturity, experience, and general fitnesi
for the legal profession may enter upon the study of law anc
meet the Bar requirements, even though they do not posses;
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 completior
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
outlined 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
'fday 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.

case of women (not including gymnasium and natatorium
privileges).
Men duly enroled in the School are allowed reduced rates in
the case of the gymnasium and natatorium.
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
application 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.
22
ENROLMENT
Owing to the delay each year on the part of the students, and
lie consequent rush on the opening night, those desiring ad-
lission are requested to register during the two weeks previous
3 the opening of the School.
For application blanks for admission to the School, or for
irther information, address the Dean of the Law School.
It is of the greatest importance that students attend the
ictures from the opening night and receive credit therefor,
n order to receive attendance credit students must enrol and
rrange for the payment of their tuition. After the application
lanks have been filed in the office of the Law School, letters
ave to be written and credentials have to be obtained and acted
pen before the students' status can be determined. This
ecessarily requires considerable time. Manifestly, students
hould not wait for the status reports but should enrol and
ommence work at the beginning of the school year.
23
RULES AND REGULATIONS
ATTENDANCE UPON LECTURES
1. The student must attend at least one-half of the lecture
and review quizzes in a course in order to be permitted to tah
the examination therein. No exception is made to this rule.
2. If the student attends at least three-fourths of the lecture
and review quizzes in a course, he is entitled to take the 63
amination therein and will pass if he attains a grade of 6
per cent.
3. If the student attends between one-half and three-fourtlj
of the lectures and review quizzes in a course, he must furnis
satisfactory excuse to the Committee on Attendance for th
absences under three-fourths in order to be permitted to tak
the examination therein; and, further, he must attain a grad
of 70 in order to pass in such examination.
4. A student must have an aggregate attendance of at leaj
two-thirds of all the lectures and review quizzes scheduled fci
him in a given year in order to be enroled the year following
a regular student.
5. A student must have an aggregate attendance of at leas
two-thirds of all the lectures and review quizzes scheduled fo
him in his entire curriculum in order to qualify in attendance fc
his degree. No exception is made to this rule.
6. In order to receive credit for attendance a student mus
be present in the classroom during the entire period, unlesj'
upon satisfactory excuse, his presence for a shorter period i
accepted by the Committee on Attendance.
EXAMINATIONS
One final examination is regularly given in each course at th'
close thereof.
One make-up examination is regularly given each year ii
each course, those in Senior subjects in the spring and those i]
Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman subjects in Septembei
24
See schedule for September, 1925, on page 2.) Moreover, a
! tudent may take as a make-up any mid-year or final examma-
ion regularly given in the course in which he is conditioned.
A student who fails in the mid-year or final examination in a
riven 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
jiven at the close of a course, he will be permitted to take it
iny time thereafter when an examination in that subject is
•eaularly scheduled; and, since that will be his first examination
herein, he will receive full credit for whatever grade he attains.
The receipt of a passing mark in a course precludes a student
rom another examination therein.
A fee of two dollars is charged for each condition examination
'.aken by a student. This sum must be paid on or before the date
l)f the examination and no man will be admitted to any con-
iition 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-
nission cards to the examinations. This rule does not apply to
nen taking, as make-up examinations, the regular examinations
^iven 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 coi
elusion of the courses.
If a student does not take certain of the tests when they ai
regularly scheduled, he will be permitted to do so at any tim
thereafter when the test in the subject is given, with the n
quirement, however, in a full-year course, that a man who hi
missed the first semester test must take a first semester test as
make-up, and a man who has missed a second semester test muji
take a second semester test as a make-up. If a make-up test :
the first trial which a man has made, he will receive credit fc
whatever grade he obtains.
The receipt of three points in a test in a full-year course pr(
eludes the student from taking a corresponding test in the
course. If a student received less than three points in a test i
a full-year course, he will be permitted to take the corresponc
ing test in that subject when it is regularly scheduled, but wi
receive credit for only three points even though he obtains
higher grade.
In the single test in a half-year course a student who ha
received six points in the test cannot take another test in tha
subject. A student who receives less than six points in the tes
given in a half-year subject will be permitted to take the tes
again when it is regularly scheduled, but will receive credit fo
only six points even though he obtains a higher grade.
SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS OR TESTS
Under no conditions will special examinations or tests bj
given in a course. Students desiring to take examinations o
tests must either take the regular final examinations or tests or
in case of examinations, the regular make-up examinations ii'
the subjects in which they desire to be re-examined.
MARKS
For relation between attendance and marks, see pages 2'^
and 25.
With respect to grade, a student is entitled to a degree if h(
obtains at least 60 per cent in all courses scheduled in the entin
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 qualify 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 2nd of the year in which they expect
to receive their degree.

Students are designated to act in the capacity of clerks, a
torneys, parties and of others who regularly make up tl
personnel of the usual court organization.
Instruction of a practical nature is thus given to the studen
in matters pertaining to practice. They are shown what ste]
have to be taken preliminary to the trial and how to take thei]
they have the intricate procedure of the trial visualized f(
them; and they are made to carry out in detail all measun
which need to be taken supplementary to the trial in order 1
realize the benefits of a successful issue or to safeguard tH
rights of clients in case of an adverse decision.
In a word, the purpose of the Moot Court is to give tH
students actual experience in using in a practical way tli
knowledge of the law which they get in the other courses of th
curriculum.

{Twenty-four Sessions)
Ample provision is made for reviewing the work of each year
n the regular School schedules; and, at the close of the full
jourse — just previous to the bar examination — the whole field
l!)f the law is covered by a systematic review of great value to
.he students. Mr. Asa S. Allen, Associate Dean of the Law
jjichool, is most effective in this review work in Boston, and his
lasses are attended, not only by Northeastern students, but by
graduates of the other New England Law Schools.
In order to make the work of the Law School as valuable as
)0ssible, 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
itudents but once, and then only upon the presentation of a card
)f 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORICAL SKETCH
The incorporation of Northeastern University of the Bosto
Young Men's Christian Association in March, 1916, marked th
culmination of a notable development. The University is th
realization of an ideal carefully worked out and persistentl
followed for many years. One of the first lines of endeavor of th
Boston Young Men's Christian Association, after its establisl
ment in 1851, was the opening of evening classes for young mei
It was not, however, until 1896, that the actual foundations fc
the University were laid. The larger number of courses offere
required a more comprehensive organization. Gradually th
courses were grouped under separate schools and addition?
courses were offered to complete the curriculum of each schoo
The School of Law, established in 1898, was incorporated i
1904 with degree granting power. Founded in 1907, the Scho(
of Commerce and Finance was authorized in 1911 to confer th
degrees of Bachelor and Master of Commercial Science. Th
School of Engineering was opened in 1909 and given power ii
1920 to confer the following degrees: Bachelor of Civil Enga
neering. Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor c'
Electrical Engineering, and Bachelor of Chemical Engineerins
The School of Business Administration was opened in Septem
ber, 1922, and has the right to grant the degree of Bachelor c
Business Administration. In addition, the Evening Poly
technic School, the Huntington School for Boys, the North
eastern Preparatory School, the Automotive School, and th
Vocational Institute are conducted under the administration o
the University. Divisions of the University offering evening in
struction have been established at Worcester, Springfielc
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 theii
Boston offices. If convenient, the books of the Law Librar3
40
lay be used in the building. It is advantageous for a student to
wn the books, however, in order that he may better employ his
ours at home.
Notes, note-books and general supplies may be obtamed at
he 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
t may be found case-and text-books on all of the subjects
aught in the School, as well as on related subjects, the National
=leporter System, the State Reports of Massachusetts and New
i?'ork, the English Reports, United States Supreme Court
=leports. Corpus Juris Cyc, encyclopedias of law, etc. Additions
)f standard law books of value to the students in their law
studies are being made regularly to the Library. A Ubrary 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-
squipped and efTiciently administered. For this reason the
Northeastern University officials are particularly alert to meet
the needs of the situation and to progressively 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.
A full set of Massachusetts Reports, Acts and Resolves, Digests,
Case-Books, Text-Books and other valuable material is avail-
able.
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, i
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 isi
open at least one evening each week for the use of students.
BUILDINGS
The School of Law is hotised in the Y. M. C. A. Buildings ini
Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and Providence. Each of these)
buildings is of modern construction and offers excellent andt
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
ymnasiums, swimming pools, and bowling alleys. Opportuni-
ies are provided for practically every physical activity. School
f Law men are urged to avail themselves of the opportunities
DT physical training. It is especially necessary that men who are
mployed during the day and studying in the evening take
ome kind of adequate exercise in order that they may do the
lost effective school work.
REDUCED GYMNASIUM RATES TO STUDENTS
In order to insure the use of the gymnasium and to bring it
v'ithin the means of all students, reduced rates are granted to
tudents.
OTHER RECREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
Other recreative opportunities of a widely varied nature are
)fTered in the form of billiard rooms, libraries, game rooms, and
)ther facilities. In fact the Y. M. C. A.'s in which the School of
l,aw is located are equipped for almost every type of clean,
v^irile, 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.
j 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 Association, so far as is consistent with
their own particular religious beliefs. However, a student
43
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 fmd 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
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 Uni-
versity granting a degree or who has attended such schools for ai
period of two full years is eligible for membership.

Statement Involving New Standards of the
School of Commerce and Finance for the B. C. S. Degree
Nortlicastcru Uuivcrsily through its Evening School of Couihrtcc ami
Finance is desirous of rendering the largest and most effective service to
its student body, to the community at large, and lo the business interests of
New England.
In order to render this service the University has considered for some
lime wherein the school miglit increase its educational offerings through
enriching its curriculum and its instruction. After a very careful compara-
tive study of the School of Commerce and Finance with other leading business
schools of collegiate grade, the Board of Governors of the University has
adoi)ted the following standards for the future operating basis of the school:
Firxt — Eft'ective with the entering class of September 192G, the hour require-
ments for the B. C. S. degree -will be sixty semester hours of classroom
instruction plus twenty-four semester hours of satisfactory business
experience, thus adding one full year to the requirenu'nts for the
degree.
SecinnJ — Eft'ective with the entering class of Sejitember 1!)2T, the hour recpiire-
mcnts for the B. C. S. degree will be seventy-two semester hours of
actual classroom instruction plus twenty-four semester hours of satis-
factory business experience. This increase in hours means that it will
take six years instead of four, as at present, for the average student
to complete the requirements for the degree. The program "bf a student
will consequently be very much enriched.
77/ /■(•(/ — Concurrent with the increased offerings a new curriculum is to become
eft'ective in September 192(). This curriculum is being made a matter
of exhaustive study through a scientific approach which will insure the
maximum co-ordination between the academic work of the school and
actual business. Several groups of prominent business men are render-
ing marked assistance in the study now being made. Students who are
not candidates for the B. C. S. degree but who desire shorter courses
will find that their needs are met in the new curriculum, logical stop-
ping points of completed work being available; those who complete
a systematic two year course of study will be awarded a Certificate
of Proficiency; those completing a four year systematic course of study
will be granted a Diploma; those who complete the full requirements
for the degree will be awarded the B. C. S. degree. Further than this
there will be ample opportunity for those who desire single courses in
specialized fields.
As a result of these new requirements the school will be in a position
to offer a greatly enriched program and to render a more eft'ective and per-
manent service through a broader as well as a more highly specialized training
for business.

THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE AND FINANCE
EDUCATION FOR BUSINESS
The industrial stage of economic evolution which had its begin-
ning in the latter part of the 18th century thru discoveries which
led to the development of power and machine industry is char-
acterized by the following significant changes in the economic
organization of society :
a. Large scale production, marketing and distribution.
b. The corporation as the most effective business unit.
c. The extensive development of the credit basis of exchange,
only 4% of the business of the world being now transacted
thru a cash medium, thus necessitating the rise and growth
of complicated banking and credit institutions.
d. The development of extensive means of communication
such as: the telephone, the telegraph, railroads and steam-
ship lines.
e. The break-down of the apprenticeship system and the de-
crease in trade heredity.
f. The specialization of industry, the technical subdivisions of
labor and the growing complexity in the mechanical processes
coupled with a marked concentration and integration of
industry.
g. \ marked growth in the complexity of commercial organiza-
tion and in problems effecting large scale marketing and dis-
tribution.
h. The narrowing margin of profits which makes necessary an
increasing elimination of inefficiencies and waste in business
and industry.
These significant changes have led to an increase in the demands
which society makes upon educational institutions. For illustra-
tion, a recent statement of the National Industrial Conference
Board in session in New York City declares that with all that the
existing training agencies can do, there will be a dearth of 200,000
trained executives in business and industry in the United States
alone by 1930. Trade and commercial schools have sprung up,
and more recently, and in increasing numbers, colleges and uni-
versities have established schools of commerce and business ad-
9
ministration and of engineering for the purpose of meeting the
need for trained men in commerce and in industry.
At first these schools of business offered only isolated, unrelated
courses, which were not developed into systematic and well-co-
ordinated curriculums, except in accounting, where a well-estab-
lished body of principles was developed early into the science of
accounting leading to the recognition of the field as a distinct
profession. Recently, however, attention has been directed to
other phases of business with the result that the underlying prin-
ciples of business have been discovered thru a study of basic
problems; and business in its broadest aspects has been evolved
into a distinct science and a profession.
Until recently young men and women desiring to enter business
started in a minor clerical position and worked up thru the several
departments of an organization until they had thoroly mastered
the details of some one job in which they might best function.
Today, however, the process of trial and error has become ex-
tremely dijQBcult and impractical, if not impossible, because of tlu-
magnitude of business enterprises. One who is to acquire that
knowledge of business which will enable him to make the best use
of his abilities and advance most rapidly, must supplement business
experience by a thoro and systematic study of business which will
give:
a. A command over the basic principles underlying business as ;i
science.
b. The development of definite marketable skills thru training
in the application of these principles to typical business
problems and situations.
c. The development of a habit of thinking which assures clear
analysis and sound judgment in meeting business problems.
A study of the causes of business failures reveals the values of
trained leadership and makes evident the need of a thoro under-
standing of the basic principles underlying business management.
The chart on page 11 compiled by Bradstreet's is the result of a
study of the causes of the 19,159 failures in the United States in
1923.
In the light of these facts it is imperative that the business man,
irrespective of his official capacity in an organization, should
have a thoro understanding of fundamental jjrinciples and their
application to business conditions. Proper training in the prin-
ciples and practices of business procedure will eliminate a large
percentage of business failures.
10
This training can best be acquired by those who are employed
during the day, in evening schools of commerce and business admin-
istration under trained instructors who are also experienced busir
ness men. Such a training wnll insure, on the part of capable
students, the broad business point of view and that knowledge of
sound business principles and methods which will lead to positions
of responsibility and to opportunities for increased service.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
Northeastern University was among the first institutions in the
country to recognize and meet the demand for education for busi-
ness as outlined above. The School of Commerce and Finance
was established in March, 1907, and was incorporated with the
power to grant the B.C.S. and M.C.S. degrees in 1911. With
the active co-operation and support of leading educators and busi-
ness men, among whom was Edwin Gay, then Dean of the Harvard
Graduate School of Business Administration, the curriculums and
programs of study were carefully planned with a view of providing
the most effective and feasible training in business for employed
men. From the beginning the School was successful and soon
established an enviable reputation for thoro work in all depart-
11
ments and has steadily maintained a position of progressive leader-
ship in the field of education for business.
Since the establishment of the School a large number of regular
students have been enrolled, of whom 719 have received the B.C.S.
degree and 15 the M.C.S. degree. A distinctive service also has
been rendered to those who have been enrolled in the special
courses and who have not been candidates for a degree.
For several years the School has laid especial emphasis upon
the curriculum in Professional Accounting. At present 101 C.P.A.
certificates are held by graduates of the School.
More recently, the School officials, appreciative of the fact
that business was rapidly becoming a profession, have extended the
scope of activities of the School of Commerce and Finance to
include a basic training and specialization in the various fields of
business management and marketing — aiming to furnish, on the
one hand a thoro training in the fundamentals, and, on the other
hand, specialized training in the particular field of the student's
interests and abilities. The success of the business management
and marketing curriculums, as well as the continued outstanding
success of the accounting curriculum, has been such as to justify
the extension of the work of the School to include these larger fields.
DIVISIONS
Divisions of the University are located in the Young Men's
Christian Associations at Worcester, Springfield, Providence, New
Haven and Bridgeport. In each of these Divisions the School of
Commerce and Finance is conducted and a complete program
leading to the B.C.S. degree is offered, altho owing to the diversi-
fied needs of the different cities, not all the courses or curriculums
given in Boston are conducted in the Divisions. The standards
of work, the admission requirements, and the regulations in the
Divisions are identical with those required in Boston — the work
being under the same supervision and administration as that in
Boston. The Faculty for each Division is selected with care,
approved and supervised by the administrative authorities of the
School and the University. The content of the courses are alike
in practically all cases, except where there may be sufficient reason
for deviating from the approved course; such deviations, however,
l)eing approved only after a careful consideration of the elements
involved.
12
Students completing the required courses in the Divisions are
granted the B.C.S. degree upon graduation.
Students who find it necessary to transfer from one Division to
another, or from Boston to a Division, or vice versa, may do so
with credit for work already completed. Those contemplating
such transfers should notify their local School office before making
the transfer.
THE STANDARDS OF THE SCHOOL
The School of Commerce and Finance is an evening school of
recognized standing and is operated in accordance with the follow-
ing standards:
a. A carefully co-ordinated and well-developed program which
gives the student a basic understanding of sound business
policies and principles from which he develops a definite
marketable skill in business practice.
b. The development of opportunities of training in specialized
fields which will meet the needs of men interested in such
fields. The School is more interested in providing a thoro
training in fundamental principles in these fields than in
furnishing a detailed technique most of which can best be
secured thru daily contacts and experience in a business
position.
c. The combination of business experience and organized busi-
ness knowledge, so that the student develops the abilities
of applying business principles as taught in the classroom to
the daily occupation in which he is employed.
d. The selection of the most competent and experienced faculty.
Only those men who are qualified by experience to give
advice and guidance in their respective fields, and who know
how to impart effectively in the classroom business prin-
ciples and their application, are employed.
e. The development of an appreciation of the value of ethical
and moral standards and practices in business.
f. A non-proprietary evening collegiate school of business with
high scholastic standards devoting all its resources to the
training of mature men of worthy character and ambition
for positions of aggressive leadership in business.
13
METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
The instruction of the School is based upon the presentation
and discussion of business problems from which general principles
are deduced. These principles as deduced are tested and applied
in turn by the student in his solutions of problems assigned for
home work, in written reports, and in daily experiences and con-
tacts in business. In so far as possible the problems are drawn
from actual business conditions and are so arranged that the
student may have the opportunity to study the conditions creating
the problem and to formulate a solution.
Frequent short tests are required. These tests are given with
the purpose of aiding the student in the analysis of a problem
under pressure and the crystallization of his thinking upon specific
fundamental principles that have been deduced from problem
assignments.
To a certain extent, depending upon the course and the time
available, written reports and analyses are required of all students
pursuing courses that are adaptable to such a method. These
reports often require special study and investigation of a business
problem where facts and data are gathered, the conditions ana-
lyzed and a presentation made of the findings with conclusions
and recommendations.
The best available text books are used in all courses where books
are needed. Materials have been especially prepared to meet
the needs of specialized fields.
THE FACULTY
The Faculty of the School of Commerce and Finance is made up
primarily of business and professional men who have had excellent
training and a wide experience in the subjects which they teach.
Many of these men are devoting much time to a scientific study of
business and have been selected for the Faculty because of their
positions of leadership in their particular field of specialization.
The ability to impart knowledge and experience to the student
in a scholarly manner and at the same time so that the student
grasps the content and principles involved, and the interest
and sympathy with the students who are devoting their evenings
to serious educational purposes are prerequisites of all instructors
in the School. The contact of the student with business men of
14
such broad experience, liberal training, and high moral and pro-
j fessional standards has proved of great value; and has been one
of the chief factors to which the success and development of the
School may be attributed.
THE STUDENT BODY
The student body is drawn largely from business and com-
mercial organizations, altho almost every occupation is repre-
sented. The wide association of a student with men and women
from the many different fields of business and industrial activity
which may be found represented in the School is a valuable aid in
the training for a business career.
The following chart shows the representative occupational
groupings now in the School.

Admission of Women
Women are admitted to the School under the same conditions
as men, that is, under the above admission requirements.
Advanced Standing
1. By Transfer of Credit
Credit for advanced standing in the School may be given for
work completed in other approved colleges and universities if
20
such work is similar in content and character to corresponding
courses in the School of Commerce and Finance, but under no
conditions will more than thirty-six semester hours of transfer
credit be allowed toward the Bachelor's degree. Irrespective of
the amount of credit earned in other institutions, students must
complete at least one year's work (twelve semester hours) in the
School before receiving the degree. Candidates for advanced
standing must file certificates upon which transfer credit may be
based with their application for admission. A copy of a marked
catalog of the institution from which transfer is sought should
accompany the transcript of record showing those courses for which
credit is desired.
For the Master's degree not more than four semester hours
credit by transfer will be accepted. Work offered for such credit
must meet the approval of the Committee on Admission.
2. By Examination
Applicants who are seeking admission to the School and who
desire to secure Advanced Standing Credit toward the degree
must meet the following conditions :
a. A written application for examination, on proper forms
secured from the School office, must be presented to the
Dean. In arriving at its decision, the Committee will take
into account previous training, business experience, and other
factors showing the applicant's preparation and ability in
the subject or subjects in whch Advanced Standing Credit
is sought.
b. A grade of 75 per cent must be obtained in the examination
in order to secure credit for a subject.
c. Not more than twelve semester hours of Advanced Standing
Credit toward the degree will be allowed by means of
examination.
d. The same subject cannot be offered both for admission credit
and as a basis for an advanced standing examination.
Advanced Standing in certain cases may be secured by exami-
nation so as to complete a four-year curriculum in three years.
Applicants who have had satisfactory training or experience in
bookkeeping, or accounting, are frequently able to secure advanced
standing credit in Accounting 1-2 and in some cases Accounting
21
3-4, and by taking examinations in other required subjects or be-
taking added subjects each year can meet all requirements for the
degree in three years.
REGISTRATION
Students are urged to register early in the season and avoid
the rush and delay that comes during the opening week. The
School can give each individual better service in completing
registration if this is attended to before the opening week. Stu-
dents should file their application for admission without delay so
that their status may be determined as early as possible. Tran-
scripts showing previous education must be secured by the School
ofiice and the application must be acted upon by the Committee
on Admission before a student's status can be determined. This
naturally requires considerable time. All students who have aj)-
plied for admission and have not been notified as to their status
before School begins should report for class work upon the opening
week of School unless notified to the contrary.
Each student entering the School for the first time should follo^^
this procedure in completing registration :
1. File the application for admission accompanied by the five
dollar ($5.00) application fee, either in person or by mail,
on the blank provided by the School office.
2. Report to the School office in person on or before the opening
of School to fill out such additional enrollment forms as are
required. At this time the student should arrange his pro-
gram of work and as far as possible adjust all matters regard-
ing his status.
LATE REGISTRATION
Students should avoid late registration. It is fundamental
that they be present at the first class sessions if they are to he
most successful in their studies for the year. Those who find it
necessary to register late may be permitted to enter the School
provided they have not lost so much work as to render it impossibl<^
for them to proceed with the courses.

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 and to give their reasons for doing so. This
notification should be given promptly.
As the School assumes the obligation of carrying the student
thruout the year when the student registers, and as the Uni-
versity 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. Cash refunds may be granted in cases where students
are compelled to withdraw on account of personal
illness. The application must be accompanied by a
satisfactory certificate from a physician.
2. In case a student is regularly employed during the

employer or compelled to change his working hours
so as to prevent his continuance in the School, a refund
may be granted, provided the application is accom-
panied by a satisfactory statement from the firm.
3. Tuition not refunded or used may be applied upon
subsequent courses pursued in the School, providing
such courses are taken within two years from the
date of withdrawal of the student.
C. The application fee is not refundable, except in case a

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
A. Candidates for the Bachelor of Commercial Science degree
must satisfy the following requirements :
1. Make formal application for graduation in the year in which
they plan to receive the degree, at such time and upon such
forms as may be required by the School office.
2. Must have met the admission requirements and have been
admitted to the School as a regular student in candidacy for
the degree.
3. Must have secured a minimum credit of seventy-two sem-
ester hours. (A semester hour is the unit of credit which
indicates satisfactory completion of one sixty minute period
of classroom work or its equivalent per week for one semester
of seventeen weeks. A course which meets 120 minutes per
week thruout one semester receives a credit value of two
semester hours.)
a. At least forty-eight semester hours credit either thru
advanced standing or thru satisfactory completion of
courses in the School.
b. Not more than twenty-four semester hours credit for
successful business experience. This credit is given on
the basis of not more than eight semester hours per
year. The interpretation of what comprises successful
business experience is left to the discretion of the Dean,
who will take into consideration the nature of the
experience and the responsibility attendant thereto.
Where the experience is of such a nature as to warrant
giving either partial or no credit, the student may be
required to take additional courses to complete the
required number of seventy -two semester hours or the
degree may be withheld until the student secures the
necessary business experience. In allowing credit for
business experience frank recognition is made of the
general business training which the student is acquiring
in his daily occupation. The daily vocation becomes
the laboratory in which the principles taught in the
classroom are applied.
25
B. Candidates for the Master of Commercial Science degree
who hold a Bachelor of Commercial Science or an equivalent
degree in business must meet the following requirements:
1. Make formal application for the degree not later than
November 1 of the year in which they enter upon graduate
study.
2. Must complete two years of resident study embodying a
minimum credit of twenty-fovir semester hours, of which
four semester hours credit is allowed for the thesis. Not
more than four semester hours credit will be accepted by
transfer of credit from recognized collegiate Schools of
Business.

Dean not later than November 1 of the school year in which
the candidate expects to take his degree. The thesis must
give evidence of original study and research and must be
completed and filed on or before May 15 preceding Com-
mencement with the Board of Examiners appointed by the
Dean. Two bound typewritten or printed copies of the
thesis must be presented in prescribed form for the School
and the Library.
5. Pass an oral examination given by a Board of Examiners
appointed by the Faculty. Such an examination may be
based upon the specialized field of research and study fol-
lowed in the presentation of the thesis, and upon the rela-
tionship of that specialized field to business in general.
C. Candidates for the Master of Commercial Science degree
who hold the A.B., S.B., Ph.B., LL.B. or other recognized degrees,
not in the field of business, must meet the following requirements
in addition to Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 under B above:

ORGANIZATION OF CURRICULUMS
PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES
The curriculums of the School have been planned with a twofold
purpose: First, to give an organized scientific knowledge of the
basic principles and conditions underljdng business; and second,
to give classroom instruction so intensely practical and workable
that the student gains an intimate knowledge of the everyday task
at which he is now engaged or will be engaged in order that he may
acquire that technical knowledge and training which combined
with the scientific knowledge of the basic principles will be con-
ducive to successful accomplishment in actual business.
In each of the four-year curriculums of Business Management,
Marketing, and Professional Accounting, the first year is constant
thruout and has been so designed as to give a basic introduction to
the fundamental principles underlying all business activity. The
mastery of these principles is so important that all students are
required to pursue the first and second-year courses as listed.
In addition to the four-year curriculums leading to the degree,
one and two-year curriculums affording specialization are offered
in Boston and in some of the Divisions.
^Vliile students are admitted to single courses and while special
curriculums will be laid out to meet the needs of individual stu-
dents, nevertheless each student is advised to undertake one of the
organized curriculums outlined below which have been co-ordinated
and balanced so as to give the most effective business training.
Before entering the School and during the course of his work in the
School it is desired that each student confer with the Dean or other
School officials with respect to his program, his vocational prob-
lems, and his progress both in School and in his daily employment.
The Divisions are not offering all the curriculums which are
given in Boston. The needs are different in the different cities
and it has been found inadvisable to attempt to offer the same
number of curriculums in all cases. The required courses in such
curriculums as are offered in the Divisions are the same as those in
Boston, the electives varying to some degree.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
(Formerly Business Administration Curriculum)
The Committee on Waste in Industry appointed by Herbert
Hoover, President of the Federated American Engineering Socie-
ties, points out that 50% of the responsibiUty for the waste in
industry can be placed at the door of management and less than
25% at the door of labor. While similar studies of such an in-
tensive and extensive nature have not been made in the fields of
finance, distribution, accounting, and transportation, it is to be
very much doubted whether any of these fields have reached even
the degree of efficiency in management found in industry. A
recent study made by the Society for Electrical Development shows
that 47 men were employed in distribution as contrasted with 19
in production.
In view of the above facts the necessity for trained executive
leadership and managerial ability in business is apparent and
needs no argument.
The purpose of this Management Curriculum is to develop the
capacity of the student to perform the functions of business man-
agement, namely. Planning, Organizing, Deputizing, and Super-
vising. "Management," as this curriculum defines it, "is the
art and science of co-ordinating men, money, material and equip-
ment so that a high degree of beneficial results will accrue to
society."
This training is designated for those who hold or wish to occupy
positions as sales managers, office managers, management engineers,
general managers, superintendents, and other departmental and
junior executive positions. This curriculum develops those abili-
ties and gives a knowledge of those principles that are peculiar
to management and will be exceedingly valuable to that individual
who has already acquired or is acquiring skill in his occupation
but who desires an additional background for the study of Manage-
ment as related to his occupation.

PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING
The professional dignity surrounding the work of the pubUc
accountant and the reward of satisfaction that accrues from render-
ing a distinctive professional service to society are compensations
not measured in financial returns. The junior accountant just
entering the profession will do well if he receives $100 to $150 a
month. Even this basis of compensation assumes specialized
training. In time, when he receives his C.P.A. certificate, his
income should be from $3000 to $5000 per year with the possi-
bility of even higher financial rewards as he becomes more experi-
enced and mature.
In many respects the future in private accounting is more
attractive than is public practice. Large, as well as smaller, con-
cerns are constantly searching for trained leadership for positions
of controller, treasurer, or chief accountant. Men are wanted
for these positions who are willing to assume at the beginning less
attractive and responsible positions but who will thru the demon-
strations of their abilities in and knowledge of organized business
forge ahead to the larger responsibilities.
Technical training in accounting is only one of the necessary
requirements for professional and financial success in the profes-
sion. It is most essential that a thoro knowledge of accounting
be combined with an intelligent working knowledge of the funda-
mental principles of business organization and management. The
student of accounting must be trained in business law, business
organization and management, economics and finance, all of which
are used constantly and directly in the practice of accounting.
Maximum success as an accountant or an executive cannot be
realized without a thoro understanding of the fundamental prob-
lems and principles of business embodied in statistics, finance,
business law, industrial management, marketing, and English.
This Accounting Curriculum has been carefully designed in
accordance with the above ideals, and with a view of preparing
men for the accounting profession, and the C.P.A. certificate.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Joint Commission of Agricultural Inquiry of the Sixty-
seventh Congress in its Report on Marketing and Distribution
says, "The Commission is convinced that the problem of distribu-
tion is one of the most important economic problems before the
American people and that only thru its solution can there be an
equitable adjustment among agriculture, industry, transportation,
labor, finance and commerce. The solution of the problem of
distribution must be secured thru a betterment of methods and the
elimination of wastes and uneconomic practices. A better system
of distribution can only be hoped for thru a more intelligent
study of methods, facilities and purposes."
A recent study made by Swift & Company based on the necessi-
ties of life, produced by forty factories and sold by large and small
dealers, gives the following interesting figures of the distribution
of the consumer's dollar:
Manufacturing cost 37c.
Manufacturer's selling expense 12c.
Manufacturer's profit 4c.
Wholesaler's expense 10c.
Wholesaler's profit 3c.
Retailer's expense 28c.
Retailer's profit 6c.
Summarizing the above shows that 13% goes to profits, 50% for
marketing expense and 37% into raw materials and manufactur-
ing cost.
It is quite evident from the above data that the problem is one
needing the most thoro attention, thot and study, not from the
viewpoint of production but from that of distribution and mar-
keting.
This curriculum is designed to give the student that necessary
background of the economics, the policies, management and
methods of distribution in order that he may be able to take a
larger part in the leadership that will be expected of our business
men within the next decade in solving this important economic
national problem.

SPECIALIZED TWO-YEAR CURRICULUMS
Many students feel that they cannot spend the time required
to complete a four-year curriculum, but desire an intensive train-
ing of a specialized nature. To meet the needs of such students,
special two-year curriculums have been prepared offering oppor-
tunity for such specialization. Credit toward the related four-
year curriculum is allowed if the student should later decide that
the degree is desirable.
Upon the completion of twenty -four semester hours of class work
and twelve semester hours of satisfactory business experience in
any one of the following curriculums, the student will be granted
the Certificate of Proficiency in the chosen field of specialization.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT
The business achievements of the retail merchant, whether of
the large or the small store, are to be wholly measured in these
days of competition in accordance with his ability to rise to his
opportunities.
38
The public wants service and is willing to pay for the right kind
of service. It wants convenience and ease in shopping. Indi-
vidual tastes and styles must be satisfied. The local merchant
must realize that he is an integral part of the community, and has
the first call upon his neighbors provided his business is conducted
upon a sound business and service basis.
This curriculum aims to get at the fundamental problems of the
retail merchant, to help the student arrive at satisfactory solutions
of his difficulties and to assist him in developing more effective
business methods.

the purpose of accounting. He is asked to study the balance sheet
and the statement of profit and loss before attempting to make a
complete record of accounts. Accounting, as usually taught in
its elementary stages, calls for a large amount of detail journalizing,
posting, etc., which when once mastered soon becomes monotonous

complexity and diversity of subject matter serve as a thoro and
final review of the whole field of accounting.
In addition to such major subjects as consolidated balance sheets

tion, statements of affairs, this course gives attention to profes-
sional ethics and practices, management of accounting offices, and

training and experience to benefit thereby.
Ten hours of class work are devoted to a review of Business Law.
The remaining time is devoted to accounting and auditing. Typi-
cal C.P.A. problems are assigned for home work and class discus-
sion. As a part of the instruction in law, accounting and auditing,
the class is required to sit for examination under as nearly similar
conditions as the regular C.P.A. examinations. The papers are
carefully graded and returned to the student. In the limited time
allotted, the class is required to work under pressure in order that
the review may be comprehensive and thoro. The success of
47
candidates in recent C.P.A. examinations is evidence of the thoro-
ness and value of the Quiz as a basic preparation for the exam-
inations.
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (B)
The principles of organization and management of business
enterprises remain practically constant in all types of business.
With the complexity and the rapidly changing conditions of
modern business, the functions of administration and management
must be clearly defined and maximum economies effected. Thru
the problem approach, these courses aim to train the student to
supplant guess work and trial and error processes with organized
and scientific knowledge and management abilities.
Business Administration B 1-2
Two hours each week thruout the year. Credit, 4 semester hours.
This course is designed as an introductory survey of the whole
field of Business Management and Administration. In this study
the student becomes acquainted with the outstanding features of
the work of the executive and the relationships of the various
functions operating within the business unit. The student is
first introduced to the underlying economic principles of business
m^agement and administration. Later, he studies those factors
which the business manager must control and how this control
is to be accomplished.
In addition to the initial brief presentation of concrete eco-
nomic principles, the course proceeds by a discussion method
employing questions, problems and cases to acquaint the student
with the three broad problems of business.
1. The establishment of jjolicies with the setting of goals.
2. The planning and setting up of an organization to carry out
these policies in order to arrive at the goals.

consequently many inefficient and half-developed reports are the

fully planned, and written in accordance with the basic laws of
unity, coherence and emphasis. All papers and reports are read

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 persistently fol-
lowed 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 de-
grees 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, and
has the right to grant the degree of Bachelor of Business Adminis-
tration. 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 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.
LIBRARIES
1. The students of the School in Boston have available for
their use the reference library of the University, consisting of
several thousand carefully selected volumes. In this library are
necessary books on business administration, accounting, marketing,
65
and industrial management for the use of the students of the
School. The generally library of the Boston Y.M.C.A. is available
for student use. Current business periodicals and the leading
business services are also provided. The reading rooms of the
library are open from 9 :00 a.m. to 10 :00 p.m. daily.
In the Divisions at Worcester, Springfield and Providence small
libraries are being built up with the most modern books upon busi-
ness subjects.
2. All members of the School in Boston, whether resident or
non-resident students, have the privilege of taking books from the
Boston Public Library and of using the Library for general refer-
ence and reading. The same privilege is accorded the students of
the Divisions for the use of the Libraries in their respective cities.
EXPENSES FOR BOOKS AND MATERLVLS
The expenses for books and materials varies according to the
course or group of subjects taken. The minimum is approximately
$3 and the maximum about $20 for a year.
NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY
1. Of change of address.
2. Of withdrawal from any course — otherwise the fee for that
course will be charged.
3. Of withdrawal from the school, giving date of the last
lecture attended.
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 Association so far as is consistent with their
own particular 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
66
tree 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
Bnd that type of activity in which they are most interested. Full
information may be received on inquiry.
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
The worthwhileness of wholesome social activities among
students is recognized by the school authorities, and students are
encouraged to form organizations which will stimulate the best
types of social activities. The evening school student naturally
finds the time which he can give to activities outside of his required
work limited, and for this reason his program of activities must be
selected with care and judgment.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
While the School does not definitely promise employment,
every effort is made to render the most effective type of service,
to students and alumni alike. This phase of service is in charge of
the School office and all requests for placement or men to fill
positions should be referred to the office. In Boston the Alumni
Association co-operates with the School authorities in handling
the placement work.
BUILDINGS
The School of Commerce and Finance is housed in the Y.M.C.A.
buildings in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Providence, New
Haven, and Bridgeport. The locations of these splendid facilities
are convenient in all cases to main lines of transportation and are
in or near the heart of the business centers of these cities.
PHYSICAL TRAINING
Each building has excellent facilities in the nature of gym-
nasiums, swimming pools, and other recreative privileges. School
of Commerce and Finance men are urged to avail themselves of
the opportunities for physical training. Men who are employed
in office or indoor occupations and who are pursuing a strenuous
67
evening program of training and study should plan to take some
adequate and systematic form of exercise in order that they may
not impair their health and that they may do the most effective
work.
REDUCED GYMNASIUM RATES TO STUDENTS
In order to bring the use of the gymnasium within the means
of every student, special reduced rates are granted.
OTHER RECREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
Other recreative opportunities of widely varied nature are
offered in the form of billiard rooms, libraries, game rooms, social
rooms, etc. The Y.M.C.A.'s in which the School is located are
equipped for almost every type of clean, virile, and wholesome
activity of interest to men.
ALUMNI CLUBS
Northeastern University Club.
The Northeastern University Club of Boston was organized inii
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 North-
eastern 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 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
granting a degree, or who has attended such schools for a period
of two full years, is eligible for membership.
Alumni Association (Boston)
The Alumni Association of the School of Commerce and Finance
sustains a vital interest in the School and the work of the Uni-
versity. Membership is open to any graduate of the School. A
number of social and fellowship gatherings are held each year.
The Alumni News Bulletin is issued each month and carries items
of general interest to all alumni.

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 persis-
tently 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 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 191 1 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, Bachelor of Chemical Engineering and
Bachelor of Administrative Engineering. The School of
Business Administration was opened in September, 1922, with
the right to grant the degree of Bachelor of Business Adminis-
tration. In addition, the Evening Polytechnic School, the
Huntington School for Boys, the Northeastern Preparatory
School, the Department of University Extension, 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.
The Evening Polytechnic School was founded in 1913.
Although many evening technical courses had been offered
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
before, the regular standard curriculums in Engineering con-
sisting of three continuous years of study had not been
estabHshed. The School now offers five curriculums in Engi-
neering in addition to special courses. The School is well
equipped to carry on the Engineering work; has a faculty
consisting of experienced and able engineers and educators;
and an enrollment of over three hundred students.
Object of the School
Students are given a thorough training in the fundamental
sciences of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and in the
important applications of the principles of these sciences to
the several branches of engineering. Much stress is laid on
the development of the ability to apply the acquired knowl-
edge 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.
Many men in various lines of industry feel the need of
special instruction in Engineering, either to advance in their
chosen occupation, or to enable them to change their positions
and get into work of an Engineering nature.
To such men the School offers a wide variety of regular
Engineering curriculums, and in addition, special instruction
for those who desire it. The Engineering curriculums require
attendance three evenings a week, during a period of three
years. Only fundamental subjects which meet standard
requirements are pursued.
Three- Year Engineering Curriculums
Regular three-year curriculums, leading to a diploma, are
offered in the following branches of Engineering:
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
I Civil Engineering
II Mechanical Engineering
III Electrical Engineering
IV Chemistry
V Structural Engineering
Special Courses
Special courses, which may be found described in detail in
the latter part of this catalog, are offered by the School.
Requirements for Admission
The work carried on in the regular curriculums assumes that
the entering student has had previous training in Elementary
Algebra to quadratics, Plane Geometry, and has a good
ground-work in English. An entering student should have
completed at least the equivalent of one or two years' work in
a standard high school. Those who have completed a full
high-school course should be well fitted to carry on the courses
and derive the maximum benefit from the work.
Men who have finished grammar school, but who have not
had the requisite previous training in Mathematics and
English, may attend the Evening Courses of the Northeastern
Preparatory School, and should be able to get in one year the
necessary preparation for entrance to the Polytechnic School.
There are no entrance examinations, but each applicant for
admission is required to have an interview with the School
officials.
The qualifications of each applicant will be ascertained and
he will be advised as to the work he is qualified to undertake.
Should a student prove to be unable to carry on his studies
successfully, he may be required to discontinue any subject in
which he is deficient, and complete such preparatory work as
is deemed necessary before being re-admitted to the subject in
question.
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
Condition Examinations
Special condition examinations in any subject which stu-
dents have taken and failed will be given by the School during
the second week of April. All students who desire to take
condition examinations are requested to file a petition at the
school office on or before April i, in order that arrangements
for the examinations may be made. Each student taking a
special condition examination is required to have made a pay-
ment of $2 for the examination and to present his receipt
as a card of admission to the examination.
Tuition Fees
For each year of the regular three-year curriculums, the
tuition fee is sixty dollars. The tuition fee includes membership
in the Association, and is payable as follows:
One-half upon entering the School
One-fourth on Monday of the tenth school week
One-fourth on Wednesday of the eighteenth school week
The tuition fee for special courses will be found on page 54.
Refunds
The College assumes the obligation of carrying the student
throughout the year. Instruction and accommodations are
provided on a yearly basis, therefore, no refunds are granted
except in cases where students are compelled to withdraw on
account of personal illness. The application must be accom-
panied by a satisfactory certificate from a physician.
Laboratory Fees
All students taking courses in the Chemical and Electrical
Laboratories are charged laboratory fees in accordance with
the following rates: Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (26),
$10; Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (28), $10; Organic
Chemistry Laboratory (30), $15; Direct Currents Laboratory
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
(22), $5; Alternating Currents Laboratory (24), $5. These fees
are payable on entrance and do not cover breakage or de-
struction of apparatus. They are non-returnable.
An additional chemical laboratory deposit of $10 must be
made when a desk is assigned to a student. At the close of the
school year the cost of equipment, broken by the student or
not returnable, will be deducted from this amount and the
balance refunded. Students failing to check up their desks
upon leaving school will be charged $1 extra.
Books and Supplies
All supplies may be purchased from the University Book
Store at cost of five (5) to twenty (20) dollars per year.
Supplies for the freshman year aggregate somewhat more
because a set of drawing instruments must be obtained.
Membership in the Y. M. C. A.
The yearly tuition fee for regular students includes member-
ship in the Boston Y. M. C. A. This fee is not included in the
tuition for special students.
The Boston Y.M.G. A.
Northeastern University is conducted by the Boston
Y. M. C. A., though non-sectarian, it is thoroughly Christian
in character. Students are encouraged to participate in the
activities of the Student Christian Association of the Univer-
sity, so far as is consistent with their own particular religious
beliefs. However, a student should not hesitate 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
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
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.
Transfers
No student is permitted to transfer from one course to
another without consulting the school officials beforehand and
receiving a transfer order.
Absences
No "cuts" are allowed. A careful record of attendance
upon class exercises is kept for each student. Absence from
regularly scheduled exercises in any subject will seriously
affect the standing of the student. It may cause the removal
of the subjects from which he is absent from his schedule and
the listing of these subjects as conditioned subjects. In case he
presents a reasonable excuse 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 shall designate.
Reports of Standing
An informal report of the student's standing is issued at the
end of the first term, and a formal report, covering the year's
work, is issued at the close of each year.
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
13
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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.
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 be graduated.
No subject is to be dropped, or omitted, without the approval
of the Dean.
A special student is permitted to attend the School, subject
to the approval of the Dean, and to take such courses as the
School offers. Special students are not eligible for a diploma.
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 I is used for intermediate grades only and signi-
fies that the course may not have progressed sufficiently far
14
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
to give a grade or that the student has not had time to make
up work lost through excusable absences.
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 diploma 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.
Requirements for Graduation
To receive a diploma 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 be graduated. He must
have completed the three years of prescribed work of his
chosen curriculum, and to have passed such final examinations
as are required in the respective courses.
Students Admitted with Advance Standing
Students who, upon admission, were granted provisional
advance standing, but have not presented evidence of their
eligibility to such advance standing, shall not be granted the
diploma of the School.
Residence
It has been found to be much more satisfactory for the
student to live, if possible, within easy access of Boston. 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 per week upwards. Since board costs about $8 to $io per
15
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
week, a student may obtain room and board for from $12 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 scholastic work.
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.
The General Activities Department of the Y. M. C. A.
maintains 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 begins each year in September and
continues for fourteen weeks. The second semester of fourteen
weeks follows immediately upon its close and ends in April.
Location
The School is housed in the three buildings of the Associa-
tion, the Vocational Building on St. Botolph Street, in the
rear of the Main Buildings, and the Huntington Building
opposite the Main Buildings.
The buildings are located on Huntington Avenue, just
beyond Massachusetts Avenue, and are within easy access to
the various railroad stations, and the business and residential
sections. A map is shown opposite page 16.
Elective Subjects
Students electing any course not included in their curricu-
lum will be required to take all examinations in that course
and to attain a passing grade in it before they will be eligible
for a diploma.

EQUIPMENT
Field Instruments of Civil Engineering
For work in the field, the Civil Engineering Department
possesses various surveying instruments, representing the
principal makes and types in general use.
The equipment includes four surveyor's compasses, two
Keuffel & Esser transits, five Buff & 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 astronomi-
cal 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.
Testing Materials Laboratory
This laboratory is equipped with a 50,000 pound Olsen Test-
ing Machine, by means of which experiments in tension, com-
pression, shear and cross bending can be conducted.
For testing the gradations of concrete aggregate and the
fineness of cement a Ro-Tap Sieve Shaker, with a special
timing device has been installed.
These machines together with accessory tools and appliances
provide complete means of testing the strength of steel, iron,
wood and concrete specimens, subjected to all kinds of stress
that are met with in construction, or manufacture.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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 uniflow
engine of the latest design is available for making a complete
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.
Under the hydraulic equipment in the Laboratory may be
listed a triple power pump, motor-driven, a hydraulic motor of
the Pelton 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 lo-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 gasoline
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, CO2 recorder and other equip-
ment necessary for complete power-plant tests. The plant
consists of four horizontal return tubular 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 separators; and four three-wire
generators, three of which are driven by Ridgeway reciprocat-
ing steam engines, and the fourth is directly connected to a
Westinghouse Parsons turbine.
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
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
efficiencies of various fuels, determine the efficiency of modern
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 modern 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 princi-
ples of measurement and, second, that which is used in teach-
ing advanced standardizing methods as well as for keeping
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 meth-
ods, voltmeter methods for high resistance, insulation resis-
tance, specific resistance, use of slide wire and Wheatstone
bridges, electrostatic capacity, Poggendorf's method of
E. M. F. comparison, 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
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
current transformer, Weston Laboratory standard triple
range voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter for alternating
current work and all necessary galvanometers carried on
Julius suspensions.
There have been added, first a complete Reichsanstalt day-
light type photometer equipment, and second a Westinghouse
portable oscillograph with full equipment; so that the Labora-
tory is now ready for practically any work in electrical
measurements outside the absolute determination 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 milli voltmeters of the above
makes. There are 30 standard shunts of ranges from 10 to 100
amperes with uniform drops of 50 millivolts to go with the
millivoltmeters.
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
summer of 1922. Its floor area was increased by sixty per cent,
and the apparatus rearranged 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.
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
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 ma-
chinery 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 com-
pound generators, which will still work as shunt machines.
One set is driven by a large Sprague motor with double ex-
tended 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 lo-kilowatt, 230-volt
motors and used principally for parallel operation and similar
work. A large 230-volt, 12-kilowatt., 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-kilowatt (80 per cent p. f.)
3-phase 230-volt alternator driven at 60 cycles by a 25-H.P.
Westinghouse motor, a 7.5-kilowatt 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.
Two 12-kilowatt (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 avail-
able for use either as synchronous generators or as motors.
A 5-kilowatt Holtzer Cabot machine with three rotors, making
it available as either a squirrel cage, wound rotor, or synchro-
nous 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-kilowatt
Holtzer three-phase synchronous converters, and a Westing-
house 7.5-kilowatt two-phase motor.
For transformers there are six single-phase G. E. type H
units wound for 550 volts primary and 220/110 volts secon-
dary. Two sets of transformers with Scott transformation taps,
a Type R. O. constant current transformer primary winding
for 220/190 volts and secondary for 6.6 amperes, 310 volts
23
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
maximum fitted with a load of 80 candlepower 6.6 amperes
60-watt nitrogen filled tungsten lamps, and a pair of 550/220,
no volts G. E. three-phase transformers of 7.5-kilowatt
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
throughout 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 Labora-
tory service are cut clear from any other service whatsoever
and potential is controlled from the laboratory.
For the second class of tests there are a laboratory standard
Wheatstone bridge, Kelvin bridge, fittings for using the Carey-
Foster method, two Leeds Northrup potentiometers (a high
and low resistance one) with auxiliary apparatus as volt
boxes, certified standard cells, standard shunts, standard cur-
rent transformers, Weston Laboratory standard A. C. volt-
meter of triple range, ammeter (also of triple range), watt-
meter, 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 9 single-
phase indicating wattmeters each of double current and
double voltage ranges.
For direct current working there are 41 voltmeters (of
24
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
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 miUivolts to go with the
milHvoltmeters.
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
calorimeter, an Arsat apparatus for gas analysis, a Saybolt
viscosimeter. New York State flash point tester, a Babcock
milk tester, a Hoskins electric combustion furnace and a
Shriver type filter press.
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
apparatus 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
^5
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
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
equipment includes verniers, levels, vacuum pump, spiro-
meter, planimeters, spheremeters, calorimeters, thermometers,
pyrometer, sonometer, spectroscope, spectrometer, balances,
standard gram weight, lecture table galvanometer, optical
disk with all accessories, lenses, photometer, air thermometer,
and a full set of weather bureau apparatus, including baro-
graph, 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 engi-
neering and scientific subjects, and also the general library of
the Association.
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 of the Public Library, which enables
students 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 faciHties 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,
basketball court, jumping pits and a track with a 100-yard
straight-away ; baseball and football fields.

CURRICULUMS OF STUDY
General Statement
Schedules of the various curriculums are given on the
following pages. The work of the first year is practically the
same for all curriculums. A few exceptions are necessarily made
to meet the student's need of elementary training in his
professional subjects.
The school year consists of twenty-eight weeks of class
work and examinations. The twenty-eight weeks are divided
into two semesters of fourteen weeks each. The subjects in
the curriculum outlines on the following pages have been
arranged by terms. Opposite each subject will be found the
number of sixty minute periods devoted to class, recitation,
laboratory, or drawing-room work. The number in parenthe-
sis, following the subject, is the number by which that subject
is identified in the descriptive matter under "Subjects of
Instruction."
When a student elects a curriculum, he is required to
complete all subjects in that curriculum in order to receive a
diploma. No subject may be dropped or omitted without the
consent of the Dean.

I. CIVIL ENGINEERING
The purpose of this curriculum is to give the student an
education in those subjects which form the basis of all branches
of technical education, and a special training in those subjects
comprised under the term "Civil Engineering." It is designed
to give the student sound training, both theoretical and
practical, 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 Topographical
Engineering, Municipal Engineering and Railroad Engineer-
ing. It covers land surveying, the construction of sewers,
waterworks, roads and streets. All these branches of Engi-
neering rest, however, upon a relatively compact body of
principles. The students are trained by practice in the class
room, drawing room, and the field.
The curriculum is designed to prepare the young engineer to
take up the work of assisting in the location and construction
of steam and electric railways, sewerage and water-supply
systems, etc.

II. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
This curriculum is designed to give a foundation in those
fundamental subjects which form the basis for all professional
engineering practice, and especially to equip the young engi-
neer with a knowledge of the various phases of Mechanical
Engineering. The course embraces instruction by textbook,
lecture, and drawing room.
All the mathematics required in the designing of machinery
is given during the first two years so as to prepare for the
designing and engineering courses given during the third year.
The sequence of subjects from those of an elementary nature
to Heat Engineering, Machine Design, and Power Appliances
is arranged so that the student may have a complete under-
standing of the advanced courses.
The curriculum affords training in the methods, and gives
practice in the process of construction, which develops in the
student the capacity for thinking along mechanical lines, thus
enabling him to base all his work upon fundamental principles
already learned, rather than upon empirical rules. It gives
the student a good theoretical training and meanwhile devotes
sufficient time to the practical work, so that he may become a
proficient engineer, both in theory and in practice, in the vari-
ous branches of Mechanical Engineering.

III. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The applications of electricity have developed rapidly in
recent years, and students are required to have a good working
knowledge of Mathematics and Physics. It is essential that
students planning to take this course should realize the funda-
mental necessity of obtaining a solid grounding in these sub-
jects.
The instruction has been carefully balanced between reci-
tations, lectures, home work, reports and laboratory tests in
order to develop in the student the power of perception, of
rational thinking, and of applying theoretical principles to
practical problems.
It is not the purpose of the curriculum to attempt the im-
possible— to turn out fully trained engineers in any of the
various branches of the science. It is designed to lay a thorough
foundation for future progress along the lines of work which
may particularly appeal to the individual, and give him an
adequate working acquaintance with the essential principles
which underlie each of the more specialized branches of
professional activity. Parallel with the theoretical work runs a
carefully planned course of laboratory work which is intended
to develop the student's powers of planning work for himself.

IV. CHEMISTRY
The growth, within the last few years, of the chemical in-
dustry in this country has created a new interest in the science
of chemistry. An increasing demand for chemists who possess
a comprehensive and intimate knowledge of the general and
special fields of the science is felt more and more keenly. The
chemist should be thoroughly trained in the methods of re-
search, in order that he may improve the old and initiate new
methods of production.
The objective of the first year is to give to the student a
thorough knowledge of Inorganic Chemistry with particular
emphasis upon those topics which are necessary for a proper
understanding of other branches of chemistry.
Theoretical instruction in Qualitative and Quantitative An-
alysis is given the second year. Both lectures and recitations
are used in the instruction of these subjects. Students pursuing
this course begin with the determination of simple substances
and gradually progress to more complex commercial products.
In Organic Chemistry special emphasis is laid on organic
synthesis, preparation of dye intermediates, finished dyestuffs
and compounds of commercial importance.

V. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
The purpose of this curriculum is to give the student a
special training in those subjects included in the term "Struc-
tural Engineering." It is designed to give the student sound
and thorough training in the science upon which professional
practice is based.
Structural Engineering covers such a broad field that no one
can become expert in its whole extent. It includes the design
and construction of girders, columns, roofs, trusses, arches,
bridges, buildings, walks, dams, foundations and all fixed
structures and movable bridges. It includes a knowledge of the
relative merits of the design and construction of buildings,
bridges, and structures composed of different materials used
by the engineer, such as concrete, reinforced concrete, timber,
cast iron, and steel.
The curriculum is so arranged as to prepare the young engi-
neer to take up the work of assisting in the design and con-
struction of structures; to undertake intelligently supervision
of erection work in the field ; and general contracting.

SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION
Instruction is given by means of lectures, recitations, prac-
tical exercise in the field, laboratories, and drawing rooms.
Great value is set upon the educational effect of these exer-
cises, which constitute the foundation of each of the courses.
Text-books are used in many subjects, but not in all. In many
branches the instruction given differs widely from available
text-books, and in most of such cases, notes on the lectures
and laboratory work are furnished 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 detailed statement of
the scope of the subjects offered in the various courses. The
subjects are classified, as far as possible, related studies being
arranged in sequence.
The subjects are numbered, or numbered and lettered, for
convenience of reference in consulting the various curriculum
schedules.
Required courses, and those pre-requisite thereto, must have
been successfully pursued before any advance course may be
taken. In order to carry properly the more advanced subjects,
the student must have become proficient in all the elementary
subjects. Some studies, specified as being required in prepara-
tion, may be taken simultaneously. The student must complete
such subjects before starting on more advanced work.
By careful consideration of the curriculum schedules, in
connection with the following description of subjects, the
applicant for a special course may select, for the earlier part of
that course, such subjects as will enable him to pursue later
those more advanced subjects which he may particularly
desire.
The topics included in the list which follows are subject to
change at any time by action of the school authorities.

35
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
given by lectures and recitations in the following subjects:
rate of change, differentiation, maximum and minimum, inte-
gration, definite integrals, with application to the determina-
tion of mean value, area, volume, center of gravity and
moment of inertia. Problems are assigned to illustrate the use
of all the formulas studied in class.
5. Practical Physics
Preparation: 1
This course consists of one lecture and one problem period
each week throughout the freshman year. Instruction is given
in the practical application of the laws of Physics. Each lecture
is accompanied, as far as possible, by lecture table experiments
on large-sized apparatus, built especially for this course so that
the student may actually see a demonstration of the truth of
the various laws, thus enabling him to grasp more readily the
underlying principles. This course includes the study of the
mechanics of solids, liquids, and gases, heat and its effects,
and the principles of light and sound. Practical problems
covering each phase of the work are given throughout the year
which are designed to fix in the student's mind the principles
taken up in the lectures. The problem period gives the student
a more thorough understanding of the application of the
principles discussed in the lectures by the solution of practical
problems.
6. Mechanical Drawing
The course is planned to meet the requirements of a class
composed of students who have had no previous instruction in
drafting and also for those who may have had one or two
years' work in preparatory schools.
Instruction is given in the proper care and use of drawing
instruments, T-square, and triangles, and about twenty draw-
ings are made, including geometrical constructions, ortho-
graphic and isometric projections, development, dimensioning,
and lettering, thus giving the student a thorough training in
the fundamental principles of mechanical drawing so that he
may easily do the drafting required in his professional course.
36
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL

almost entirely individual, permitting the student to progress
at a rate commensurate with his own ability.
7. Surveying
Preparation : 2
This course is devoted to the study of surveying instru-
ments, the methods of making surveys, the methods of plotting
surveys as completed maps, and the solution of problems in

construction and use of various plans with which the surveyor
should be familiar.
8. Topographical Drawing
Preparation: 6
The first half of the course is devoted to a study of the vari-
ous conventional symbols used in the drawing of topographical
maps. Each student is required to familiarize himself with
these symbols and make an inked drawing containing several
of them. Reasonable proficiency in the use of and application
to maps is expected. The latter part of the course is given over
to the making of a contour map from field notes, then applying
typical problems of earthwork, such as figuring volumes,
balancing cuts and fills, grading, etc.
9. Highway Engineering
Preparation : 7
The course is outlined to give the student the principles and
practice of modern highway engineering. This is not entirely
a lecture course, for much time is given to the discussion of
the relative merits of numerous phases of the subject. The
first part of the course considers the preliminary investigation,
design, drainage, foundations, and layout, for gravel, earth
and broken stone roads, including the use of bituminous
materials. The latter part of the course considers several classes
of pavements, including bituminous concrete, bituminous
37

This course consists of instruction in the computation and
methods of laying out simple, compound, reverse, vertical and
easement curves; frogs, switches, and turnouts; the compu-
tation of earthwork from cross-section notes; setting slope-
stakes and general consideration of more advanced problems of
Railroad Engineering. Special emphasis is laid on field notes
and field methods.
1 1 . Railroad Engineering Drawing
Preparation: 6, 10
The first semester is devoted to the construction of a plan
and a profile of a preliminary survey for a railroad. This is
made from field notes of an actual survey and each student
decides on his own location by the aid of a mass diagram.
Comparisons are made as to the total cost of each student's
location. The second semester is devoted to the design and
lay-out of a typical railroad yard as located at the end of a
division. This includes the design of reversed curves, ladder
tracks and the proper entrance to an engine round house. The
course is supplemented by lectures.
12. Applied Mechanics

study is^made of the strength of shafting and springs; com-
bined stresses in beams subjected to tension, compression,
bending and torsion; also of the strength of hooks, columns
and thin hollow cylinders, and brief consideration of strains
and the relation of the stresses on dififerent planes in a body.
Kinematics and dynamics are also taken up, including the
uniform and varying rectilinear motion, centrifugal force,
work, power and kinetic energy.
The methods of testing and the strength of various materials
used by the engineer is also taken up in this course. The
methods of manufacturing, properties and uses, of materials
used in mechanical engineering work, such as iron, steel, and
concrete are carefully studied.
15. Structural Drawing

The course in structural drawing consists in the working out
of various graphical problems of mechanics on the drawing
board, drawing standard sections of structural steel shapes,
structural details and the preparation of drawings, represent-
39
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
ing simple structures. The purpose of this course is to familiar-
ize the student with detailed drawings and teach him where
and how to dimension structural parts on working drawings.

The course in structural design consists of work in the draw-
ing room. It is a continuation of the course in structural
drawing given in the second year, and includes the execution of
elementary structural design, taking up in a practical way the
principles of the course in Theory of Structures. Each student
is given data for various problems, the designs for which he
works out in the drawing room, making all necessary com-
putations and executing all drawings necessary for the prep-
aration of complete designs of a number of engineering
structures.
18. Engineering Drawing

tools such as shapers, slotters, and planers.
40
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
19. Machine Design
Preparation: 14, 18
This course aims to give the student practice in the applica-
tion of theoretical principles previously studied and at the
same time acquaint him with the many practical details which
must be considered in design work. The problems taken up in
the early part of the course are of a static nature, while the
later problems involve dynamic stresses. The problems of the
course vary from year to year, but the following are typical of
the designs taken up; arbor press, hydraulic flanging, clamp,
crane, air compressor, punch and shear, stonecrusher, etc.
In each design the constructive details are carefully con-
sidered with special attention to methods of manufacture,
provision for wear, lubrication, etc. The work is based on
rational rather than on empirical methods, the student being
required to make all calculations for determining the sizes of
the various parts and all necessary working drawings.
20. Heat Engineering
Preparation: 4,5
In order to satisfactorily understand the operation of the
modern power plant it is essential that the theoretical princi-
ples be thoroughly understood. The course is, therefore, in the
main theoretical but at all times the practical application of the
principles under discussion are kept in view.
The first part of the course covers the laws of perfect gases,
the laws of vapors, the use of the steam entropy table, heat
transmission and combustion. The rest of the work covered is
the application of these principles to air compressors, re-
frigeration machines, steam power plants and internal com-
bustion engines.
21. Direct Currents, Lectures
Preparation: 5
This course of lectures, recitations and problems during the
second year deals with the subject of electrical phenomena in
general, and then goes on to apply these principles to the
direct current motor and generator, the greater stress being
41
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
laid upon the operating characteristics of the various appli-
ances dealt with. The course closes with some consideration
of the three-wire system of distribution and calculation of
voltage drops leading to the proper arrangement and sizes of
feeders and mains.
22. Direct Currents, Laboratory
Preparation: 21 (taken concurrently)
This course is not to be taken by a student who is not at the
same time taking (or who has not previously taken) Course 21,
unless the student desiring to take it passes satisfactorily an
examination upon the entire subject matter of the preparatory
course.
The experiments given herein are intended to supplement
and illustrate that course as well as give the students an
understanding of the principal methods of electrical testing.
Each student is required to furnish a complete report, in-
cluding theory, method of procedure, numerical results and
conclusions drawn, for each experiment he performs.
The work in the Laboratory will not begin until after about
eight of the lectures in Course 21 have been completed, or until
the instructor in that course feels satisfied that sufficient theo-
retical progress has been made for the student to handle the
laboratory apparatus and circuits with safety and use them
intelligently.
23. Alternating Currents, Lectures
Preparation : 2 1
A course of lectures, recitations, and problems during the
senior year dealing with the principles of electro-magnetism
electro-statics, variable currents, and harmonic currents, in-
cluding both single and polyphase circuits. With this as a
foundation, a careful, thorough and detailed discussion of the
construction, theory, operating characteristics and testing of
the various types of alternating current machinery is made.
The subjects covered being transformers, synchronous genera-
tors, synchronous motors, parallel operation of alternators,
42
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
synchronous convertors, polyphase induction motors, induc-
tion generators, single phase induction motors and commu-
tating alternating current motors.
24. Alternating Currents, Laboratory
Preparation: 22 and 23 (taken concurrently)
This course is taken in connection with the corresponding
class room work in alternating currents, and the experiments
performed are related to that work.
Since the work is considerably more complex and difficult it
is even more necessary that the student have adequate prep-
aration, and he must either take Course 23 concurrently (or
have already taken it), or pass a satisfactory examination
upon the entire subject matter.
The Laboratory instruction will begin after five of the lec-
tures in Course 23 have been covered.
25. Inorganic Chemistry
A course of experimental lectures on the fundamental laws
and principles of inorganic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on
the study of elements, compounds and theories, which form a
basis for more advanced courses in chemistry. Problems of a
physio-chemical nature involving the gas laws; application of
Avogadro's Hypothesis; the law of definite proportion; elec-
trolytic dissociation and the law of mass action are assigned
and discussed in class. Important physical principles including
a study of the mechanics of solids, liquids and gases; heat and
its effects; and elementary electricity are also given considera-
tion.
26. Inorganic Chemistry, Laboratory
Preparation: 25
By performing a number of selective experiments it is de-
sired to develop a spirit of initiative, self-reliance, and research
on the part of the student. It is important that the student
performing the experiment observe what happens; consider
why it happens; and predict the action of similar substances.
The laboratory course is run in conjunction with the lectures,
43
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
and experiments which verify principles discussed in class are
included. By the preparation of elements and compounds such
as oxygen, hydrogen, the halogens, hydrochloric acid, copper
sulphate, etc., it is hoped to cultivate a scientific attitude and
habit of thought on the part of the student. Neat and satis-
factory notes are considered an essential part of the course.
27. Analytical Chemistry, Lectures
Preparation: 25
This course takes up the rudiments of qualitative and quan-
titative analysis. In qualitative analysis not only the pro-
cedures used in the detection of the common elements are
studied, but also the general principles involved, including
hydrolysis, solubility product, amphoteric electrolytes, laws
of solutions, and the general facts of inorganic chemistry. In
quantitative analysis half of the time is devoted to gravi-
metric analysis including chloride, sulphate, and phosphate
determinations. The other half of the time is devoted to
volumetric analysis as illustrated by acid and alkali determi-
nations, oxidation methods involving bichromate, permanga-
nate, and iodine solutions, and the methods of volumetric
precipitation. Special attention is given to the solution of
numerical analytical problems of a practical nature.
28. Analytical Chemistry, Laboratory
Preparation: 27
The qualitative laboratory course consists of a series of pre-
liminary experiments illustrating principles and giving an op-
portunity for practice in writing equations. The analysis of
unknown substances is undertaken, beginning with solutions
and simple salts, and later analyzing minerals, pigments, slags,
alloys and various commercial products, such as boiler com-
pounds, cleaning powders, glass enamels and similar inorganic
compounds. The course in quantitative analysis includes the
calibration of burettes, the use of analytical balances, and a
limited number of typical gravimetric and volumetric analyses
in which great stress is laid on the accuracy, care, and integrity
necessary for successful quantitative work.
44
EVENING POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
29. Organic Chemistry
Preparation: 27, 28
This course is devoted to lectures in the general principles
and theories of organic chemistry, the methods of preparation
and the characteristic reactions.
The student who is planning to fit himself for a life work in
chemistry should take up organic chemistry in the spirit of
respect of the magnitude and complexity of the subject. He
must go through the difficulties and not over or around them.
The subject is presented in a sufficiently elementary manner so
as not to be beyond the grasp of the student in his first course
in organic chemistry, yet comprehensive enough in that it
covers the entire field by taking up practically all of the im-
portant groups of compounds.
Emphasis is placed on the study of unsaturation, the in-
fluence of structure and substituents on the activity of the
radicals.
30. Organic Chemistry, Laboratory
Preparation: 29
This course includes two kinds of laboratory practice:
(a) Organic preparations. In this the student becomes
familiar with the more common methods of manipulation and
the more important synthetic processes, while the application
of theory to the work in hand is constantly emphasized by
regular conferences with individual students.
(b) Identification of Pure Organic Compounds. This part
of the work has a similar educational value to that afforded by
Qualitative Analyses in the inorganic field, and the student is
expected to overcome all sources of error so as to acquire
confidence in his results.
38. Architectural Drawing I
An elementary course, including the fundamental principles
underlying all kinds of mechanical and architectural drawing;
geometrical problems; orthographic and isometric projections;
classical moldings; Roman alphabet and roof problems.

Northeastern Preparatory School
HISTORY
Northeastern Preparatory School, formerly called the Even-
ing Preparatory School, was founded in 1897, to meet the
demand for instruction by men employed during" the day.
Since then the School has grown steadily, until today it oifers
work of the same standard as that maintained by day sec-
ondary schools. The school has prepared men for Harvard,
Yale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown, Boston
University, Tufts, Dartmouth, Northeastern, and other col-
leges. Some of these men have obtained their entire prepara-
tion here ; others have completed preparation begun elsewhere.
The enrollment has increased from fewer than fifty students,
at the beginning, to one thousand. To keep pace with this
growth, the School has gradually developed a large and effi-
cient teaching force; to do more thorough and intensive work,
it has standardized and carefully outlined the courses of study.
Mere numbers, however, afford no index to the worth of a
school. Tliat worth is determined rather by the quality of
work the institution performs and this in turn depends on
the character of its teachers and its students. The staff of
Northeastern Preparatory School consists of college and uni-
versity trained men of large teaching experience who know
and are in sympathy with the aims and purposes of the stu-
dents. These latter constitute a body of earnest men who
have entered upon their educational work as a part of the
business of life, rather than as a social accomplishment, and
they come, in the main, from homes in whicli the habits of
industry and economy are habitually fostered. They feel
the necessity of increasing their vocational opportunities and
usually enter the evening school with definite aims for the
future. Practically all the students are engaged in work
during the day.
AIM
The aim of Northeastern Preparatory School is to prepare
young men of intense purpose for colleges, scientific schools,
or the advanced schools of Northeastern University, or to
[8]
help them better their business positions. The subjects offered
are those commonly given in the eighth grade of a grammar
school and in the four years of a day high school. The amount
of school work covered in each subject, during any two terms
of sixteen weeks each, is the same as covered in a year of a
standard day high school. This is made possible by the de-
tailed and efficient organization of courses, by emphasis upon
important points, and also by the earnest attitude of our
students.
EQUIPMENT
The location, surroundings and physical appointments of a
school are of primary importance. The location should be
healthful, accessible and attractive ; buildings should be heated,
lighted and ventilated so as to promote the health and prog-
ress of students at all seasons of the year.
The buildings occupied by Northeastern Preparatory School
fulfill these requirements. Their location on Huntington
Avenue, in a section of Boston noted for its institutions of
learning, makes them accessible from all parts of the city and
suburbs, and free from outside influences which distract the
attention. On looking at the buildings from the front, one
gains the impression of a single large, square structure, but
there are in reality six buildings, — Administration, Assembly,
Educational, Natatorium, Gymnasium and Vocational, — each
on its own foundation, connected by corridors and bridges.
This arrangement ^ives them all good light and air, and makes
for close co-operation among the various units.
The equipment of the classrooms is excellent. The rooms
are airy, well lighted and ventilated, and comfortable in tem-
perature both summer and winter. They have slate black-
boards, roomy seats, individual desks, and wall tints that are
restful to the eyes. The School is adequately supplied with
maps and charts.
The laboratory equipment is tlioroughly modern and is
extensive enough to furnish material for many students work-
ing at the same time. There are three chemical laboratories
and one physics laboratory. The mechanical dra^Wng room
is unusually large and has every convenience for work of all
grades,
[91
ADMISSION
Any 3'oung man of good moral character, regardless of
occuj^ation or creed, who has completed at least six grades
of a grammar school course, or the equivalent, may enroll in
the School.
Courses adapted to the needs and education of such appli-
cants are offered each term. It is not advisable, however,
for one younger than fifteen years of age to register, for the
courses are adapted to those who are more mature and are
physically able to work during the day and to study at night.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
The diploma is granted upon completion of fifteen units,
of which at least four must have been earned in the North-
eastern Preparatory School. Candidates are expected to com-
plete four years of English, which count as three units toward
the diploma or college-entrance requirements.
A unit of work, as counted by the College Entrance Exam-
ination Board, is the amount covered in a single standard
subject during a year's work in a standard day high school,
the equivalent of which is covered by this School in two terms
of sixteen weeks each.
The courses described in this catalogue form the entire
offering of the School. Most of these are scheduled every
term ; a few in alternate terms or every third term. An an-
nouncement is made in advance of each registration period of
the courses for the following term, together with the days and
hours when each class will meet. Any secondary school sub-
ject, however, will be offered if six or more men wish to take
it, even if it does not appear in the announcements or in this
catalogue.
CERTIFICATES
A suitable certificate is issued after a student has com-
pleted a course with a satisfactory grade. Students are en-
couraged to obtain as many of these as possible. Each one
denotes a definite accomplishment in a particular subject.

SPECIAL COURSES
Tlie Northeastern Preparatory School offers in addition to its regular
college-preparatory courses several special courses which are as com-
plete in themselves as those that require a longer time for completion.
These special programs have been arranged with the idea in mind
that they will help men in a very definite way to prepare themselves
to occupy a good position in a chosen field. The courses follow :
Course T-1. This is a course especially arranged for men
engaged in the trades who wish to improve their knowledge of

♦Offered in the Northeastern Polytechnic School.
fOffered in the Northeastern School of C'ommerce and Finance.
Other special programs may be arranged to meet any par-
ticular need. Students who feel that they need instruction
not covered by the above courses should consult the principal
of the school.
[ir>]
Subjects of Instruction
Note: The courses of the school are arranged in ''iiuits."
A unit is ordinarily the amount of work covered in a single subject
taken four or live times a week for a year in a standard day liigh
school.
In this school a unit may be covered in eacli subject in two terms
of sixteen weeks each. For instance, History 2a and History 2b, each
being a term's work, constitute a unit in History. Each is equivalent
to a half-year's work in high scliool. This holds for all subjects except
English.
Students carry one, two or sometimes three subjects at a time.
Fifteen units, properly selected (see pages 13-15), are required for
graduation.
ENGLISH
The English courses are especially planned to develop broad, sound
habits of thought, alert intelligence, and direct and clear expression.
The instruction in literature and composition is conducted according to
college methods adajtted to preparatory scliool standards; the lecture
system is employed in preference to recitation ; and the nurture mind
accordingly finds ample material for thoughtful and progressive effort.
Among the chief topics treated are the practical elements of com-
position and rhetoric, the nature of style, the origin and development
of the chief literary forms, and the appreciation of English classics.
Fundamental principles of thoughts and expression are emphasized
throughout the course ; thoroughness is insisted on. Technicalities are
avoided ; enthusia.sm, understanding, and persistence are fostered.
English A. — This course is for those who need drill in
clementarv spelling, punctuation, grammar, letter-writing,
and oral reading. The aim is to })repare tlie student for the
first-year course in high school.
English la, lb. — This course is introductory to the essen-
tials of composition, and emphasizes the practical problems in
grammar, sentence structure, and clear expression; Prose
classics are read botli to give training in thoughtful and ap-
preciative reading and to scrye as models for the composition
work. Much attention is })aid to spelling.
ExGi-isir 2a, 2b. — This is designed to aid the student in the
study and appreciation of literature in its relation to other
literary, oi- historical, events. Course 2a deals chronologically
[16]
with British literature. Course 2b takes up the literary mas-
terpieces written by Americans. Much attention is paid to
the best expressions of contemporary thought.
English 3a, 3b. — This is a course in advanced composition,
the purpose of which is to enable the student to express him-
self effectively. It insists upon clear, forceful presentation,
accurate and coherent thinking, and the careful study of stim-
ulating models. The principles of punctuation, grammar, and
letter-writing are briefly reviewed. This course may follow
lab.
English 4a, 4b. — The purpose of this coui'se is to aid the
student in the acquiring of that appreciation of the master-
pieces of literature which the college entrance examinations
demand. This work is supplemented by lectures and carefully
revised written reports.

tice course in speaking, reading, and writing, designed for
foreign-born men of education who already possess some
knowledge of English but who wish for greater proficiency
and accuracy.
LATIN

entrance examinations. In the first year, they aim to give a founda-
tion in grammar which will make possible and profitable the study of
Latin texts in the other years.
Latin la, lb. — This course embraces the elementary gram-
mar, with easy translations and drills on inflections.
Latin 2a, 2b. — Course 2 requires translations from Caesar,
with frequent assignments in Latin composition. The latter
involves a review of constructions and forms, and application
of the rules of syntax.

INIanilian Law, and for Archias are read. Grammar review
and Latin compositions also are included.
Latin 4a, 4b. — This course requires translations from Vir-
gil's "Aeneid," and advanced Latin composition.
FRENCH
The courses in French are planned with tlie puri)Ose of giving to
students (1) an appreciative comprehension of B^i-ench, both as litera-
ture and as a spoken language; and (2) a sufficient knowledge to fit
them for advanced work in higher schools. The essentials of the
grammar are mastered by continued drill and constant application.
The attainment of good pronunciation receives careful attention, and
from the beginning the student is trained to understand spoken French.
French la, lb. — The "New Chardenal Frencli Grammar'*
is used, with selected readings. Emphasis is placed on pro-
nunciation and the acquiring of a vocabulary.
French 2a, 2b. — This course continues the study of the

lecture-room discussion and demonstration of the fundamental
principles and facts of inorganic chemistry, on tlie one hand ;
and, on the other, experimental work in the laboratory by
the students individually. This latter is closely supervised,
and the student is required to do his work neatly, observe
results carefully, and endeavor to reason from these results
to legitimate conclusions. He must also keep S3^stematic rec-
ords of this work, as directed. At least forty-five experiments
are performed.
Commerce and Industry. — A stud}^ is made of the various
countries in relation to their commercial intercourse. The
student is familiarized with the principal waterwa3^s, cities,
products, imports, exports, etc.
COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS

NOTE
The courses described in the foregoing form the entire curriculum
of tlie Scliool. Most of tliese courses ai-e offered every term ; a few in
alternate terms or every third term. An announcement is made in
advance of each registration period of the courses scheduled for the
following term, together with the day and hour at whicli each class
will meet. Any secondary scliool subject, however, will be offered if
six or more men register for it, even if it is not listed on tlie announce-
ment or in this catalogue.

General Information
School Year
The school year is divided into three terms of sixteen weeks
each. The fall term includes the period from September to
January, the spring term from Januar^^ to May, and the
summer term from May to September.
The work is so conducted that in any two terms the student
may complete a full year of high school work in any subject.
By attending full calendar years, a four-year high school
course can be completed in from tliree to five years, according
to the number of subjects carried by the student.
Beginning classes are offered each term in a variety of sub-
jects. It is possible for a student to enter the School at the
beginning of any term, and to select courses suited to his
individual advancement. Several half-courses are also offered
each term.
The school sessions are held on week-day evenings, except-
ing Saturday, from 7 to 10 o'clock. A student's schedule
ma}^ include 1, 2, or 3 evenings a week, depending on his
selection. As a rule, subjects are scheduled for two evenings
a week. It has been found that because the students are
mature, and in earnest, they can do the work of a course in
fewer recitation periods than customary in a day high school ;
therefore, classroom work is concentrated and intensive. It
must be remembered, however, that the major part of the
work is done outside the classroom.
Examinations
FiXaminations are held in all subjects at the close of each
term. If a student pursues a course part of the term and
then drops it, no record of his standing in that course is kept
at tlie office. Students are advised, therefore, to pursue
courses in full and take all examinations, since later, for col-
lege entrance or for business, they may need an official rating.
While the scholarship of students is determined largely by
[25]
means of examinations, ^-et regularity of attendance and faith-
ful performance of required work are considered essential.
Term examinations are modeled after college examinations.
Attendance upon at least 75 per cent of the classes is re-
quired for admission to the examinations.
The passing mark is D — (60 joer cent).
A student marked E (conditioned) may enroll in the course
immediately following, upon condition that he remove his de-
ficiency by special examination earl}'^ in the next term. A fee
of $3 is required for each such examination regularly sched-
uled.
Vocational and Educational Guidance
It is the intent of the School to advise carefully all its
students, so tha.t the subjects selected for study shall be of
most benefit to the student, in relation to his ultimate voca-
tional aim, or to his more immediate educational purpose.
The School realizes that some men come to it to get help in
bettering their business positions, others tol broaden their
general education, and still others to be directed to a college
or technical school. To each is given advice which will best
meet his educational need.
Credit from Other Schools
Students who have begun their high school work in other
approved institutions may obtain credit for that work toward
the diploma of this school by presenting a certified transcript
of record from the school previously attended.
Admission to College
A few colleges will admit students on the diploma from
this school. A large number of colleges will accept a special
certificate from this school. A few colleges (notably Harvard,
Yale, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) re-
quire certain examinations from all candidates, and this school
prepares for those examinations.
To obtain a certificate, a grade of 80 per cent is required
in each subject.
[26]
Special Students
Some of our students do not expect to enter higher institu-
tions of learning. To these the School offers special com-
binations of subjects which will benefit them in the work in
which they are engaged during the day.
Special Summer Courses
Several intensive courses carrying a full unit credit each
are given each summer in Boston and Worcester, particu-
larly for the benefit of students in college or preparing for
college who have admission requii-ements to work off.
Scholarships
As an aid to worthy men who desire an education and are
unable to pay in full even our slight charges, a limited num-
ber of scholarships has been provided, which will be judi-
ciously distributed. Application should be made to the prin-
cipal of tlie school.
Text Books
Students buy their own books and printed outlines of
courses. Students taking Mechanical Drawing must furnish
their own instruments and supplies. The book store keeps on
hand all books and supplies used in the School.
Library
The School has excellent facilities for study in the library
and reading room of the Association, which is equipped with
dictionaries, encyclopjedias, and special texts for carrying on
the work of the school effectively.
Tutoring
The school office is in touch with capable teachers who will
give individual instruction to men who desire private lessons
either for rapid emergency work or in any courses which are
not on our schedule. Arrangements are made through the
office.
School Gatherings
At intei^als, the students of the school meet in a general
assembly. Opportunity is given to hear an address by some
[27]
business or professional man and to meet other members of
the school. The annual "Get-togethei-" is held in March.
The Y. M. C. A.
The Northeastern Preparatory School is conducted by the
Young Men's Christian Association and, though non-sectarian,
is thoroughly Christian in character. Students are encour-
aged to participate in the activities of the Association, so
far as is consistent with their own particular 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 con-
nection 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.
Students' Tickets
Half-fare tickets on the Boston Elevated Railroad may be
obtained on applications issued at the school office.
The railroad systems entering Boston issue student's tickets
to men under twenty-one years of age. Applications for these
may be obtained at a railroad office and signed at the school
office.
Gymnasium
Students in the Northeastern Preparatory School may se-
cure ])rivileges in the Department of Recreation and Health at
a special student's rate. There are also special rates for men
who wish the use of the pool and showers during the summer
months only. Particulars may be obtained at the office.
Tuition Rates
The rates are made for each subject, for a single term only,
so that students are charged exactly in proportion to the
instruction.
[•28]
Standard academic courses, witli the exce])tion of Physics
and Chemistry, meeting two hours per week; $15.00 for the
first course, and $13.00 for each in addition thereto. For

The laboratory fee for Chemistry or Physics is $5.00 for
each half course. A deposit of $5.00 also is required for Chem-
istry to cover breakage, the unused ])ortion to be returned at

School and the student upon his first payment of tuition.
[2!)]
Refunds
Since the Scliool assumes the obligation of carrying tlie
student throughout the term for which he registers, and since
the School provides the instruction and accommodations on a
term basis, the Committee on Refunds has ruled as follows :
A. Applications for credits or refunds must be presented
within thirty days after withdrawal from School.
B. Credits or refunds may be authorized solely as stated
below :
1. 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 a physician.
2. Tlie unused portion of the tuition paid by the appli-
cant may be placed in suspense and used at some
future time by the applicant to apply upon tuition
in any school in Northeastern University, provided
it is used within two years. This action is taken pro-
vided the reasons as set forth in the application meet
with the approval of the Committee on Refunds.
C In every case of withdrawal, a registration fee of $3.00
plus tuition to the date of last attendance will be re-
quired. Laboratory fees may not be refunded or
credited.

NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
GENERAL INFORMATION
History of Northeastern University
The incorporation of Northeastern University of the Boston
Young Men's Christian Association in March, iqi6, 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
establishment in 1851, was the opening of evening classes
for young men. It was not, however, until i8q6 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 com-
plete the curriculum of each school.
The School of Law, established in i8q8, was incorporated in
iqo4 with degree granting power. Founded in iqoy, the
School of Commerce and Finance was authorized in i q 1 1 to
confer the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Commercial
Science. The School of Engineering opened in iqoq and was
given power in iqio to confer the following degrees- Bachelor
of Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering,
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, Bachelor of Chemical
Engineering and Bachelor of Administrative Engineering.
The School of Business Administration was opened in Septem-
ber, iq22, with the right to grant the degree of Bachelor of
Commercial Science. In addition, the Evening Polytechnic
School, the Huntington School for Boys, the Northeastern
Preparatory School, The Department of University Extension,
and the Vocational Institute are conducted under the ad-
ministration of the University. In March, iq23, the University
was granted general degree granting power by the Mass-
achusetts legislature.
The Northeastern Automotive School was established in
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
iqo} to meet the ever-increasing demand for automobile in-
struction. Courses of six to twelve weeks duration, offered
either day or evening, meet the needs of owner, chauffeur,
salesman, and mechanic.
OUR PURPOSE
' You have doubtless, often heard it said that the only way
to learn a trade is to serve time as an apprentice, to learn
by actual practice, and that the only way to learn the automo-
bile business is to get a job in a garage and work it out by
hard knocks. This same idea used to prevail concerning doc-
tors, lawyers, architects, and, in fact, all the professions; but
who would now think of trusting an important case or project
to a professional man who has not completed a special course
of training in some well-recognized school? The practical
part of the profession is very essential, but how much more
valuable it is if founded upon theory. It is not enough to
know that a certain operation will cause a certain effect, an
expert should know why this effect is obtained.
The automobile is one of the most complicated machines in
the hands of the general public today. Every part has been
specialized, every wearing contact fitted to a small fraction,
every adjustment properly made, not only in the unit itself
but in relation to the whole machine. An improperly adjusted
or poorly fitted unit may ruin the whole machine and what
owner or garage-man is going to risk a five thousand dollar
machine in the hands of an inexperienced man?
The garage mechanic is paid for what he can do and not
for what he can teach some understudy. The garage owner's
reputation rests upon his ability to put out work in an effi-
cient, speedy and economical manner. Almost anybody can
wash a car, change tires, fill with oil, gas and water, but when
it comes to the finer adjustments and delicate repairing it is
the expert who does the job and draws the expert's wages. If
the understudy never gets a chance at these more technical
jobs, how is he to learn to do them? Herein lies the function
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
of the Automotive School. It gives the student opportunity
to learn the more technical jobs, phases, and elements.
The only object of our course is to teach, very definitely
and concretely, the theory back of every operation and process
in the modem automobile. This theory is impressed upon
the mind by the use of the actual parts and sections in full
operation — nothing is left to the imagination.
It is possible for a man to read law in a law office long enough
to enable him to pass the bar examination; it is possible for
a young man to work in an architect's office long enough to
enable him to undertake the plans and specifications of a small
building; it is possible for a man to learn the automobile
business in a garage; but these are entirely too long and ex-
pensive methods. A little time and money spent in learning
the fundamentals of the business under expert instruction
will save years of time, and thousands of dollars in earning
power. A course in our school is an investment, not an expense.
THE COURSES
It is perfectly natural that the oldest Automotive School
in America should have evolved the best and most efficient
methods of instruction. Our courses are the result of years of
study and experience. Every lecture and shop lesson is covered
by a printed outline, so both teacher and student know exactly
the context of the day's work, and the general sequence of
subjects. Written examinations are given at short intervals
so we may check up on any student who is not getting all he
should; special help is given those students who seem to have
difficulty in grasping any phase of the subject.
THE INSTRUCTORS
Our teachers are selected from among the men who have
had years of experience in their respective trades. Only men
of highest character and with teaching ability backed with
years of experience are found on our staff. Our policy is to
6
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
give definite, thorough and practical instruction, and to
present the subjects in such a clear, concise manner that they
can be mastered by anyone of average intelligence and wil-
lingness to learn.
NEED FOR MEN
I Examine the "Want Ads" of any of our papers and you
will see just what the situation is. Very rarely do you see an
auto mechanic advertising for a position, whereas there are
always calls for competent repair men. If you are consider-
ing the repair business read the following questions and answers,
they will help you decide.
1. Am I capable? This is rather a personal question and
one you will have to determine largely for yourself. An inter-
view with the Principal or Registrar of the Automotive School
1 will help you, and will place you under no obligation. Your
personal adaptability, experience, ambition and preference
should enter into your decision.
2. What of the future? Examine the following statistics
prepared by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce
and see what the future holds for the thoroughly prepared
man, either as mechanic, salesman, chauffeur, garage owner
or service man.
Automobiles and trucks registered in 1923 15,092,177

10. Boots and Shoes 866,81 7,000
The Automobile Industry is not only the third largest in
the world, but it is developing much more rapidly than any
other. When we realize that there were only 3,700 cars in i8qq,
and fourteen million in 1923, we get some idea of the future
of the industry.
All of these cars, tires, batteries, and accessories must be
kept in condition, and it is here that the efficient repairman is
greatly in demand.
The demand will increase with increased production. The
successful garage man will be the one who has the reputation
of being up-to-date, always ready, and capable of handling new
problems. A future in the repair business depends absolutely
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
upon the man. If a man is capable, efficient, honest, and am-
bitious, he can set his own goal, and make of his success what
he desires; the opportunity is open.
3. What returns may I expectl The average repairman
who is working under supervision earns from $5 to $10 a day;
but when he is able to take over the supervision of men, and
is an expert in shooting troubles, his earning power is greatly in-
creased. The man who owns his own shop can make his income
equal his ability; as far as the opportunity is concerned there
is no limit. If one is an auto mechanic only, he has a certain
capacity ; if he can handle batteries also he has a greater capacity ;
if he specializes in starting and lighting and ignition his field
is greatly enlarged. There is a great opportunity just now, in
the smaller towns, for the well-equipped, all-around repairman,
who can handle any job that might come in: mechanical,
electrical or otherwise. In these communities there is an oppor-
tunity to work up a remunerative and independent business.
4. How shall I learn this business? You naturally want
to learn the business in the shortest possible time. There is
only one way to do this, and do it right. You must put you-
self in the hands of expert experienced teachers, whose busi-
ness it is to teach you both theory and practice, who will give
you abundance of experience on all makes of cars, and under
the same conditions you will find when you are on the job.
No garage man is going to take time, from a commercial job,
to show an apprentice the details of the electric units, for in-
stance, but this is precisely our job and business.
SCHOOL INFORMATION

Residence
It has been found to be much more satisfactory for the
student to live within easy access of Boston, 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 Association dormitories. These rooms may be had
separately or in groups with a common reception room. The
price varies from $3.00 per week upwards. Since board costs
about $8.00 to $10.00 per week, a student may obtain room
and board for from $1 2.00 per week upwards.
Residence in Boston, though not required, is advisable as
it gives the student opportunity to use the school facilities
outside of class hours, and to confer easily with his instructors
about his work. It also gives him a greater possibilty of em-
ploying his out-of-class hours for profitable employment.
Moreover, residence in Boston gives the student the close
connection with the activities of the school and the Association.
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. The General Activities Department main-
tains a registry of suitable rooms in the nearby houses for the
convenience of students desiring accommodations outside of
the dormitories.
BOSTON
Boston still retains her reputation for being the center of
learning on this continent. In the immediate vicinity are
other institutions of higher learning, such as Harvard, Boston
University, Tufts, Massachusets Institute of Technology,
etc., together with a dozen or more special and technical schools.
Students from out of the city will find it well worth their
time to see and study these points of interest. Tourists come
thousands of miles at a cost of hundreds of dollars to see what
you may see for practically nothing.
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
Boston is recognized by everyone to be one of the most
beautiful and interesting cities on the American continent.
Boston proper has a population of over 800,000 and Greater
Boston, made up of some forty cities and towns within a radius
of twelve miles, has a population of i ,qoo,ooo. It was first settled
in 1630, and ever since has been a leading spirit in the develop-
ment of our country.
Among the points of historical interest might be mentioned:
Bunker Hill Monument, marking the location of the Battle of
Bunker Hill; Old North Church, from which Paul Revere ob-
served the lantern signals; The Home of Paul Revere; Street
on which the location of the Boston Massacre is marked; Old
South Church ; Faneuil Hall ; Old State House ; Boston Common ;
Public Gardens; Navy Yard, etc. Boston is also noted for its
beautiful buildings and parks. Trinity Church on Copley Square
is a beautiful example of Romanesque style of architecture.
The Public Library nearby is one of the most beautiful library
buildings in the world. It contains more than i ,000,000 volumes,
and is open to the public every day. It was erected in 1895 at
a cost of $2,500,000. The Art Museum is always an interesting
place to visit. It is a comparatively new building, erected at a
cost of $1 ,200,000, and as a whole is excelled only by the Metro-
politan Museum of New York City.
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
General
Students who have a good grammar school education may
be admitted to the various courses in the Automotive School.
Parents and guardians are advised that it is generally for
the ultimate advantage of the student not to enter under the
age of sixteen years. Every applicant must be prepared to fur-
nish references as to his character and ability, and must present
evidence that he may reasonably be expected to make a success
of his courses. He must be willing and able to work hard, both
mentally and physically.
Provisional Acceptance
When, for any reason it is deemed advisable, the School re-
serves the right to place an entering student upon probation, for
a period of one to twelve 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 that he has
accomplished and his conduct during this probationary period.
Admission
The courses are of from six to twelve weeks' duration and are
so arranged that new students may enroll every third Monday
in day classes and every sixth Monday in evening classes.
Books
Reference books are not required, but we strongly recom-
mend that every student secure a copy of a standard text-
book in each of the courses. These will be of inestimable value
in future work. They range in price from $3.00 to $6.00.
Toob
Practically all tools are furnished free of charge by the school,
but none of those used for the special ignition and repair courses.
In these courses each student is required to purchase a standard
set of tools, which we are able to furnish for about $15.00.
Each student is furnished a locker in which all tools, supplies,
and clothing are kept.

SYNOPSES OF COURSES
PRINCIPLES OF AUTOMOBILE REPAIRING
This is a six-weeks day course or a twelve weeks evening
course for the professional chauffeur, salesman, or owner who
wishes more than an ordinary knowledge of the ma^in points
of a car. This course gives a thorough knowledge of every
part of an automobile and gives it in detail.
The following subjects are covered :
Utilization of Heat of Combustion
Topics covered are: Use of gasoline as a fuel, theory of
explosion, utilization of heat created by combustion. Com-
pression testing, valve grinding, an intimate study of the
parts and their relationship to each other. The operative prin-
ciples involved in the modern automobile engine are studied
in the laboratories.
Engine Principles
A study of the principles of operation is made of two-cycle
and four-cycle engines. Tests are made on engines of the two
four, six, eight and twelve cylinder types. Special atten-
tion is given to sleeve-valve motors by means of cut away
models and running engines. Several experiments are made
in valve timing of four, six, and eight cylinder engines together
with an exhaustive study of the sleeve-valve mechanism and
crank case construction.
Dismounting and Rebuilding Principles
Correct methods of systematic dissembling of the modern
automobile mechanism are worked out by every student.
The storage and recording, replacement and refitting of en-
gine parts are carefully studied. Each student is required to
refit, scrape and adjust connecting rod and main bearings,
fit and install new piston rings making correct allowances for
expansion under heat. The cutting and fitting of the common
15
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
types of gaskets to insure tight joints in water, oil, and gasoline
are thoroughly taught.
Cooling and Oiling Systems
The construction, operation and repair of the thermo sy-
phon, pump and air cooling methods are studied regarding
their relative efficiency. A comparative study of automobile oils
and lubricants is made with a view of determining which
type is best suited for the different parts of the automobile.
The distribution of the oil to the various parts of the engine
is followed up. A study is made of the non-return splash,
circulating splash and full force feed systems. The results of
too much and insufficient oil are demonstrated together with
the methods of removing excess carbon deposits.
Fuel Systems
The air pressure, gravity and vacuum systems of gasoline
supply are operated under actual and test conditions. The
adjustment and repair of these systems are fully covered. Every
commonly used carburetor is dissembled, studied and adjusted,
generally under actual working conditions.
Ignition Systems
The student thoroughly masters the principles of electrical
circuits paying particular attention to direct currents. The
underlying principles of all ignition systems including storage
batteries are fully covered. The application of Ohm's Law
to the ignition circuits is studied. Electromagnetic induc-
tion, transformers, circuit breakers, distributors, timers, auto-
matic spark, advance regulators, polarity switches and resis-
tance units in all phases of operation are mastered by students.
In connection with this subject, laboratory experiments are
made upon Delco, Remy, Ford, Atwater Kent (both open
and closed circuits) and Connecticut ignition systems. The
student is thoroughly trained to locate and remedy ignition
troubles through actual practice. Students are required to

completely rewire and put in correct running condition entire
ignition systems.
Storage battery construction, operation, charging and main-
tenance is thoroughly covered, and its relationship to other
parts of the electric system is fully shown.
Ignition by means of magneto is studied. Experiments are
made upon units of the Ford, Dixie, Bosch and Eisemann
types. Studies are made of timing, care and adjustment of
four and six cylinder types of magnetos. The application of
magneto ignition to trucks as well as pleasure cars is covered.
Lighting and Starting Systems
Single and double unit as well as one and two wire systems
of the six and twelve volt types are used by our students for
study. After mastering the theory upon which these sys-
tems operate, laboratory work is conducted upon Delco,
Remy, Gray and Davis, Auto-Lite, Wagner, North East,
Bijur and Westinghouse units.
As far as appears advisable the experimental work is carried
on under actual working conditions. Adjusting headlights to
conform to legal requirements is fully shown. The study of
electrical systems is greatly facilitated by a generous use of
charts, photographs and diagrams. The student is trained to
quickly locate and remedy such electrical troubles as would
come within the range of the general garage mechanic.
Power Transmission and Steering Mechanism
The operation, construction, advantages and disadvantages
of the cone, dry disk and wet disk clutches are studied in detail.
Adjustments, care and repair of the common types of clutches
are demonstrated in the laboratory. The various types of
sliding gear transmission, Kelsey Friction Drive Transmission
and the Ford Planetary Transmission are all studied in detail
both as to construction, operation, care and repair. The different
methods of controlling gears under various operating conditions
are given special attention with emphasis upon means of brak-
ing a car through them in emergencies.
17
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
Universal joints of metal and fibre are studied and their
relative advantages and disadvantages discussed. The vari-
ous methods of final drive such as center shaft, double chain
and worm are intensively studied and results of different gear
ratios upon the various parts of driving mechanism observed.
The differential gears of various types are dissembled and re-
assembled in the laboratory, after their construction and
operation have been thoroughly dealt with in the lecture room.
Every student thereby has the opportunity to see for himself
the results of certain forms of driving, its strong and weak
points, and consequently obtains many ideas on how to avoid
expensive mistakes.
The different types of rear axles are studied exhaustively
so that the student should be fully capable of taking down,
repairing and reassembling any rear axle assembly made.
Steering mechanism of the worm and gear, worm and sector,
and split nut types are studied in reference to the construction,
operation and care. Vulcanizing is taught all students before
the completion of their course.

NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
STARTING, LIGHTING AND IGNITION COURSE
The demand for the skilled automotive electrician and the
great opportunities open for large numbers of properly trained
men in this field have only been realized during the past few
years by the public. Heretofore, the garage mechanic had to
do his own part of the automobile repairing as well as the
electrical work required on the automobile. However, with
the more recent progressive achievements made in automotive
ignition, lighting and starting, the electrical work on gasoline
motor propelled cars is of such magnitude as to provide steady
employment to vast numbers of men in this one line. A person
intending to follow automotive electrical work, in order to
make a successful beginning, must properly prepare him-
self. The training necessary should include the theory and
principles of the gasoline engine, the theory of the fundamen-
tal principles of electricity, an understanding of the principles
of mechanics, the construction of all the various electrical
units, the electrical wiring and connections of all the systems
in popular use and the application of these branches of
knowledge.
Our course of study of automotive electricity is based on
the knowledge and training expected of the electrical worker
in the service station. By presenting the subjects in a clear
and concise manner with the aid of up-to-date laboratory
equipment, new apparatus, special testing instruments, charts,
lectures and instructors with years of teaching experience
in this work, the students are enabled to readily understand
the work, even in its advanced phases. The student is then
given practical work in the actual dismantling of units, test-
ing and repairing. The course of study is comprehensive in
all details, covering lectures and practical instruction. The
student individually works out problems on the construction,
principles, actions, dissembling, assembling, faults, locating,
diagnosing and remedying troubles, overhauling, wiring and
the procedure in complete rewiring of electrical systems.
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
The electrical department has a laboratory of its own and the
lectures are held in one of the special rooms devoted to lecture
work. The classes are divided into divisions, limiting the
size of each class to such a reasonable number of men that
every student can work to the very best advantage and thereby
obtain the most efficient results.
The graduate student will find that upon the completion of
the course the demand for his services will be large in city and
town alike. Where the service stations formerly sent their
electrical work out to a shop that specialized in ignition,
lighting and starting, these service stations now are anxious
to use electrical work on a car as one of the means of drawing
more business to them; hence the need for students to excel
in this line of work and the need of employing men fully capable
of undertaking such tasks in an experienced and thoroughly
workmanlike manner. The theory of electricity, as well as the
repairing of the units mechanically, is necessary to successfully
locate and repair electrical troubles in the most satisfactory
manner and in the shortest space of time. The time a student
spends in this course will be well repaid. The average student
completes our day course in six weeks. For a man to acquire
equal learning by simply attempting to do the work in a commer-
cial shop calling for the constant supervision of a foreman,
with its consequently smaller salary as a result, would be a
task consuming a number of years.
The working conditions of the electrical specialist are
pleasant. The work is comparatively light and clean and
calls for most careful attention and painstaking workmanship
Steady employment may be found throughout all the seasons
of the year. The wages paid the automotive electrician are
excellent and the demand for the automotive electrician is
always enlarging. The highest grade of mechanics enter this
field knowing that it provides for advancement and insures a
successful future. The work taken up in the Automotive
Starting, Lighting and Ignition Course is outlined briefly as
follows :
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
Elementary Electricity
A study is made of elementary electricity, methods of
generating, of conducting and connecting up electrical units
and systems. The principles of the gasoline engine are studied
in the lecture room and in the special gasoline engine laboratory
where the engines are in actual operation. The principles of
mechanics are taken up in both the lecture and laboratory
class-rooms and the different mechanical and electrical terms
are discussed.
Problems and Calculations
Worth-while consideration is given to such topics as the
electrical units of measurements and electrical measurements,
including thorough study of the different terms used in electrical
work both in the conducting of current and the measure-
ments of electrical pressure, current flow, electrical measuring
instruments and the different subjects in connection with
these topics. The topical outline follows: Direct and alternating
currents, potential, current-resistance, conductors, insulators,
terminals, switches, volt, ampere. Ohm, coulomb, watt, fall
of potential, hydraulic analogy, terminal voltage, grounds,
voltmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, resistance and line loss, short
circuits, rheostat, voltage drop, ampere hour, specific con-
ductivity, power unit, candlepower, conductance, and polarity.
A study is made in detail of resistances and Ohm's Law,
simple circuits, series and parallel circuits. The student must
qualify for success in the testing of work as follows: simple
circuits, resistance coils, series and parallel circuits, one and
two wire systems, voltage and amperage tests, effect of electric
current flow, polarity of the circuit, voltage drop, calculating
wire sizes, and resistance units and devices.
Storage Batteries
The theory of the primary and secondary or storage bat-
teries, covering in detail the construction, actions and results
after the assembling of the batteries and the connecting into
their working circuits is taken up. The accompanying is a
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
brief outline of the subject matter covered : Electrolyte, plate,
element, hydrometer, dry cell, storage battery, charging equip-
ment, specific gravity, care of storage batteries, testing storage
batteries and storage battery capacity, sulphation, repairing
and replacing batteries, emergency repairs to battery, adding
distilled water, repairing terminals, heavy discharge tests, low
batteries, charging battery from outside source, battery troubles,
voltmeter tests, cadmium tests and repairing storage batteries.
If the student so desires he may buy the parts and build in
the laboratory a new battery to be used for any purpose he may
desire. He will be required to do his own lead burning, and, in
fact, everything in connection with its being put into service.
Magnetism
Magnetism is gone into intensively, dealing first with the
fundamental principles, actions and laws. Time is devoted to
experiments in connection with this subject to bring about a
clear understanding of problems and their application, show-
ing the relationship of current flow to magnetism and vice
versa, dealing with magnets, magnetism, law of magnets,
polarity of magnets, magnetic circuit, bar, bell and U shape
magnets, permanent magnet, magnetic field, lines of force,
permeability, retentivity, magnetic materials, recharging
magnets and the magnetic compass.
Electromagnetism is taken up to familiarize the students
with the theory and practice involved in obtaining magnetism
of varying strengths, difference between permanent and tem-
porary magnets, accumulative and differential action, sole-
noids, compass and hand rules, polarity of electromagnets,
magnetic fields, etc.
Electromagnetic Induction
Problems for practice are given to the students in elec-
tromagnetic induction, such as induced pressures, self and
mutual induction, strength of induced pressures, means of reg-
ulating induced pressures and measurements of induced
pressures and currents.
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
Automatic Cutouts
The study of automatic cutouts will be given to show
the action of the cutout or relay, voltage windings, tracing
cutout circuits, testing of cutouts, adjustments, cutout or
relay troubles, points of care and testing for defective cutouts.
Generators and Field Windings
Continuation of induction principles will be taken up in
the theory and practice of generator work dealing with the
construction, types of generators, field windings, brushes,
brush positions, brush spring tension, generator insulations,
field excitation, field fuses, repairing generators, testing field
and armature windings, replacing of the parts of the units,
internal connections of the units and rewiring of the genera-
tor systems.
Current Regulation
Fundamentals involved in generator output, voltage, and
current regulation are thoroughly discussed in the lecture
room and the laboratory. Special emphasis is placed on such
topics as inherent regulation, reverse series, third brush,
r constant current, constant voltage, vibrating relay, thermostat
control, mechanical and independent control regulation,
regulator adjustment and the care of regulators. The students
make their own tests on the different units, among which are
the following: Atwater Kent, Auto-lite, Bijur, Bosch, Delco,
Dyneto, Gray and Davis, North East, Remy, Simms-Huff,
Splitdorf, Wagner, and Westinghouse.
Armatures and Armature Windings
A thorough study of armatures and armature windings in
automotive use is made by the students, consisting of arma-
ture construction, data on armature windings, testing arma-
tures, locating open or short circuited or grounded amiature
coils, lap and wave windings, laminations, commutators and
commutation, turning down commutators, undercutting mica,
soldering armature leads, insulations, wedges, replacing
23
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
armature bearings and points of care to use in replacing spacer
and oil retainer washers.
Starting Motors
The operation of starting motors and starting motor circuits
are studied and practical tests are made to acquaint the students
with the construction, action, and requirements of the different
parts and various phases of starting motor principles. Windings,
armatures, brushes, switches, cables, cable terminals, bearings,
alignment, installing, repairing, types of starting motor drives,
torque tests, counter-electro-motive force, gear ratios and
lubrication are also taken up.
Motor-generators are studied to show their application
to the automobile, their electrical connections, internal and
external, terminal insulations, windings, regulation, current
consumption while a motor and current delivered while a
generator. The students are required to take test bench readings,
to disssemble, test, assemble and make final readings of the
efficiency of the units. Students also discuss motor-generator
troubles, their location and repair.
The subject of motor and engine connections consists of
the construction, action, care and repair of the following
units and parts : over-running roller clutch, double over-running
roller clutch, friction clutch, direct coupled, belt, chain and
friction drive; non-automatic pinion shift, automatic pinioni
shift and electro-magnetic pinion and bendix drives. The students
are also taught the purpose, requirement and location of the
different units and parts.
Lectures and laboratory work are given dealing with the
magneto and its relations to automotive ignition, study-
ing low and high tension magnetos, the construction, princi-
ples, actions, care, troubles, tests, wiring, connections, drives,
installation, alignment and timing of magnetos on the auto-

distributors, brushes, bearings, circuit breakers, condensers,
recharging magnets, applications of the numerous tests for
the different parts of the magneto, overhauling, repairing
and the replacement of defective, worn or broken parts of units.
A continuation of automotive ignition is made in the study
of battery ignition, considering the different systems, such as
Atwater Kent, Bosch, Connecticut, Delco, Ford, North East,
and Remy. Also the principles of low and high tension systems
are taken up and studies made of the following: jump spark
vibrator and master vibrator coils, open and closed circuit
type ignition systems, primary and secondary windings,
timers, distributors, different type coils and systems, fuses,
resistance units, thermostat automatic switches, polarity
switches; ignition system for four, six, eight and twelve cylinder
engines; setting distributor rotor, timing of battery ignitions,
spark advance, condenser construction and action, testing
condenser, testing coils; the care, repairing, rewiring and in-
stalling battery ignition systems are all thoroughly studied.
The operation of spark control embraces such subjects
as set spark, manual spark control, automatic and semi-auto-
matic spark advance or control. The following features are
dealt with in detail: timing of ignitions, distributors, set-
ting of interrupter cam, firing orders of engines, wiring dis-
tributor to firing order of engine; care, lubrication, testing,
repairing and replacing of spark control systems.
An intensive survey is made of electric lamps and light-
ing systems covering such subjects as lamp filaments, lamp
bases, lamp voltages, dimming devices, calculating wire sizes,
explanation of wiring diagrams, fusing lighting circuits, light-
ing switches, junction boxes and junction blocks, protective
devices, refiectors, focusing, insulating lighting wires, repairing
and cleaning lighting switches, replacing lamp connectors,
25
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
installing new lamp bulbs, adjusting and cleaning lamps, re-
pairing lighting wire terminals, lighting system troubles and
rewiring of lighting systems.
Proper attention is given to battery charging, with discus-
sions on the action of batteries while being charged and dis-
charged. Methods of charging, voltages ,charging rates, effects
on batteries given too high or too low a charging rate while in
the car or on the charging bench, results of a battery not being
properly charged, resistances used in battery charging, use of
voltmeter and ammeter in battery charging, discharging a
battery, use and connections of rectifiers, mixing of electrolyte
and points of care in battery charging.
The students are taught the use of electrical instruments,
the construction, calibration and connecting up of the instru-
ments to obtain correct readings, the principles of the different
types, testing, replacing and care of instruments. They are
required to make the tests with the different instruments
so as to become familiar with the use of the ammeter, voltmeter
millivolt and milli-ammeters, high rate discharge meter,
cadmium testing meters, etc.
Electrical signals and accessories are discussed in the lecture
room and laboratory and the student learns the construction,
repairs and installation of electric horns, bells, buzzers and
warning alarms, signals and signal indicators, spot lights
electric heaters, electric vulcanizers, trouble lamps and in-
dicators, their installation and care.
Thorough analysis of electrical tests and locating trouble
is gone over with the students to show the practical pro-
cedure in the making of a test, taking up the study of diagrams
and their use while testing electrical systems and the diagnosis
of electrical troubles of units when installed in the car and
when on the test benches. Various tests are made for locat-
ing troubles or faults in batteries, battery and magneto igni-
tion, generators and starting motors, lighting systems and
accessories, windings, brushes, commutators, cutouts, regula-
tors, and horns.

ADVANCED AUTOMOBILE REPAIRING AND
GARAGE MANAGEMENT
In this course the student is taught the use of the garage
mechanic's tools. He is also taught to grind chisels, punches and
other tools used in his work. Correct methods of chipping and
filing and key fitting are demonstrated. Experience is secured
in boring and threading with taps and dies, also drawing out
broken drills and reamers. Experience is obtained in simple
machine turning, threading, chamfering, filing and polishing.
The use of the drills, shaper, and milling machine as used in
work on automobile parts is studied. In this course is applied
the knowledge gained in the course of Principles of Automobile
Reparing.
Late model automobiles that have been wrecked or other-
wise damaged are received in our repair shop. The student
determines the extent of the repairs needed to fully restore
the machine to perfect running condition. Sometimes this means
a complete dissembling of the machine until the frame is
the only part not taken to pieces. As the automobile is dis-
sembled each part is cleaned and inspected for wear and the
student is instructed what use is made of each particular part.
In overhauling a rear end the student is taught how to adjust
the master and pinion gears. When the bearings are damaged
to such an extent that they must be replaced he carries on the
work. Brakes and their adjustments are thoroughly covered
by every student. Transmissions are dismantled, the gears
inspected, and if worn they are replaced and the whole trans-
mission reassembled and placed in the car. The different
types of clutches are studied and all parts must be thoroughly
understood by the students. The refacing of cone and disc
clutches is also taken up.
A student is not only instructed in the adjustment of all the
other bearings of the car but he is also given the motor upon
which he is to do all the work of refitting the main crank
shaft bearings, both old and new bearings, grinding valves,
27
NORTHEASTERN AUTOMOTIVE SCHOOL
fitting new piston rings, new wrist pin bushings, oversize
wrist pins, connecting rod bearings, oversize valves, valve
guides and all moving parts. He is also taught where to use
gaskets and of what material to make gaskets when used for
water, oil and gasoline joints. The student is taught the con-
struction of the gear and plunger oil pump and how to keep
them in repair; also the water pump.
A student in this course is continuously undergoing the
actual experience of completely overhauling an automobile
from radiator to tail light. At the same time study is made
of each part until he understand its use and repair. Not
only does he overhaul the machine but he is taught the proper
way to tow a car or if beyond towing how to load the wreck
so as to move it to the garage. He is taught to determine the
amount of damage and the probable cost of repairs. After
a machine has been repaired the students under close super-
vision give it a road test and tune it up to give the best results.
Throughout the course stress is placed upon the systematic
dissembling of the modern automobile mechanism. The storage
and recording, replacement and refitting of parts are carefully
studied. Special emphasis is placed upon the necessity of rapid,
accurate and thorough workmanship by every student. He
must be trained to assume responsibility.

AUTOMOBILE DRIVING COURSE
This course is offered only to students who have completed
one or more other courses in the school
All our driving lessons are given on regular standard touring
cars with standard shift, equipped with a double set of brake
and clutch pedals to enable the instructor to take immediate
control in case of emergency. Special facilities are afforded for
giving instruction on Ford cars.
Each lesson is a full hour in length and is given in all condi-
tions of traffic in order to give that self-reliance and depend-
ability so necessary to the good driver. By the experimental
method each student is taught the proper methods of starting
and stopping, turning, backing, parking, and all the traffic
regulations. Seven hours or about loo miles of actual driving
under expert supervision is given before the student is taken
to the State Board of Examiners to get his license. No extra
charge is made for the use of the car or trip to the examiners,
and if the student fails in his first trial, he is given the use of
the car for another trial without extra charge. Everybody
driving a car in the State of Massachusetts must pass this
examination and possess the regular license.

ELEMENTS OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
Offered upon completion of other courses,
if enrolment warrants
This course is four weeks in duration and is designed to
equip a man with such engineering knowledge as will allow
him to advance into a supervisory position in the automotive
field. His grasp of mathematics is strengthened by individual
attention on the part of his instructors until he is prepared to
carry on the mathematical work involved in the study of the
principles of Automotive Engineering. Early in his course
the student is taught to use and construct a wide variety of
graphs and charts representing various phases of work in the
automotive field.
Heat and cold in its effect upon various metals and liquids
common in the automotive work is taken up in lecture and
laboratory. Latent heat, freezing, vaporization, thermometry,
expansion and contraction, hardening, tempering and anneal-
ing are all investigated by the student. Friction and the prob-
lem of lubrication together with methods of efficient cooling
are studied.
Power transmission through levers, screws, gears, pulleys
and methods of calculating the forces involved are covered by
all students. Measurement of surfaces and solids in the prac-
tical application of plane and solid geometry are made. The
measurement of power delivered by engines of varying types
is carried on by means of prony brakes. Stresses and strains
in automobile construction as well as simple methods of calcu-
lation are worked out.
Students are taught thoroughly the principles of shop
sketching and the elements of mechanical drawing. Elements
or machine design are also studied and each student is re-
quired to make a complete design applicable to the automotive
industry.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our twenty years of experience has taught us what our
Automotive School should stand for and what should be ex-
pected of it. We therefore assume responsibility as follows:
1. To teach thoroughly the principles of automobile con-
struction, repair, upkeep, and operation.
2. To illustrate these principles by definite, concrete ex-
amples and demonstration on the apparatus itself.
3. To keep on hand, for student use, all types of necessary
equipment to illustrate principles of construction and operation
of internal combustion engines, chassis, oiling and cooling
systems, starting and lighting systems, clutches, transmissions,
differentials, etc.
4. To give commercial experience in a real commercial
garage, on real commercial jobs, such as the student will be
called upon to do when he gets out into the world.
5. To give willing, expert instruction, by sympathetic in-
structors who are always ready to help.
6. To limit the enrolment in each class to a number suffi-
ciently small to give every student the maximum opportunity
to get a first-hand, personal knowledge of every phase of the
work.
7. To conduct all our business dealings in a businesslike
way, so the student may become accustomed to business opera-
tions in the automotive industry.
8. To be your personal advisor in any way in which we may
be able to help you. We are only too glad to give vocational,
personal, or business advice to our students.
q. To conduct our school on an economical basis, and to
give instruction for the least amount of money consistent with
efficiency.
10. To make it our business to give value for every dollar
received thus making every student a booster for our school.
