Freshman Rhetoric
1947-1948
You are expected at the beginning of the course to make
yourself thoroughly familiar with all items in this manual —
preceding the calendar — and will be held responsible for the
observation of all directions and regulations here given.
Objectives
Freshman Rhetoric is designed to help you develop, for use in
college and afterward, the ability (a) to understand and evaluate
what you hear and read, and (b) to write and speak intelligibly,
effectively, and convincingly.
Directions for Preparing Manuscripts
Write on standard theme paper, one side only, with ink, and get
clearly legible results. Do not use notebook paper.
If themes are typed, unruled white paper, 8J/2 x 11, of medium
weight should be used, and lines should be double-spaced ; thin or
flimsy paper will not be accepted.
Write the title of each theme at the top of the first page beginning
on the first ruled line, and capitalize the first letter of each important
word. Leave a space equivalent to one blank line between the title
and the beginning of the theme. Leave a margin of one and a half
inches at the left side and a margin of one inch at the right side of
each page.
Indent the first line of each paragraph about an inch.
Number the pages of every theme over two pages in length.
Draw a horizontal line through words to be disregarded by the
reader; do not enclose them in brackets or parentheses.
Fold themes once, lengthwise to the right, and endorse them on the
lines provided for that purpose.
Each endorsement must give, in the following order:
1. Name of course, number of section, and name of instructor;
2. name of student (last name first) ; 3. date on which theme is
written; 4. theme number in Arabic numerals; 5. title of theme.
The correct form is given below:
Rhetoric 1, Al — Mr. Jones
Smith, John
November 2, 1947
Theme 1
Why I Came to College
Directions for Handling Themes
Late themes will not be accepted by the instructor except by special
arrangement. Unless you are ill, this arrangement should prefer-
ably be made in advance. Delayed themes may not be made up at
the rate of more than two a week, and will not be accepted within'
the last two weeks prior to the last class meeting.
No one who is delinquent in the written work of the semes-
ter will be given credit in the course.
Themes are to be revised in red ink or red pencil and returned to
the instructor at the next meeting of the class after they are received.
You should mark the date of revision below the grade or comment on
the back of the theme.
Themes should not be rewritten unless the instructor so directs.
When a theme is rewritten, the new copy should be endorsed like
the original as to number and date, should be marked in red ink
"Rewritten" just below the endorsement, and both the original and
the rewritten copies, folded separately, should be returned to the
instructor.
Credit is not given for themes until they are returned in
revised or rewritten form for filing.
You should make copies of papers you wish to preserve, as themes
are kept on file until the close of the year and are then destroyed.
Honesty in Written Work
Your endorsement on a theme is considered a pledge that it is an
honest specimen of your writing proficiency. If you submit papers
which are not genuine evidence of your own ability, you are thwarting
your instructor's efforts to diagnose your writing ailments and to cure
them. Moreover, a student guilty of plagiarism will be dropped from
the course without credit and, on a second offense, expelled from the
university. Bear in mind that your object in this course is to achieve
proficiency through constant practice and through the development of
your ability to criticize your own work. Your instructor considers your
impromptu themes and your composition on the final examination the
best evidence of your success in achieving proficiency in writing even
under stress.
1. Do not literally repeat, without acknowledgment, phrases, sen-
tences, or larger units of discourse from another writer or from
your own previous compositions.
2. Do not use another's main headings or general plan, or an
expansion or a synopsis of another's work unless specifically
advised to do so by your instructor.
3. Do not permit your work to be copied in whole or in part by
another student.
4. Do not allow anyone other than your instsructor to correct or
revise your papers at any stage in their composition. Bring this
warning to the attention of scholarship advisers and others who
may offer to "help" you.
A literary debt may be acknowledged by incidental reference to
the source, either (a) by means of a phrase in the text, or (b) by use
of a footnote.

Value of Grades
As nearly as possible, a fixed standard of grades is maintained
throughout each semester. Thus a theme written in September is held
to the same requirements as a theme written in January. Students
who acquaint themselves with the objectives of the course and who
strive to attain them are likely to experience a definite improvement
in their grades as the semester advances. The standard is higher in
the second semester than in the first. In general, Rhetoric 2 is as much
beyond the Rhetoric 1 level as Rhetoric 1 is beyond the high school
level, with a corresponding change in the value of grades.
Theme grades range from A to E. Plus and minus signs attached
to grades are often temporarily helpful, but signify nothing in the
final record. You should ask your instructor to explain grades and
comments which you do not understand.
A: A theme is graded A if it is of exceptional merit in form and
content. Excellence of any kind — freshness of treatment, interest,
originality in thought — will be given due recognition, but it must,
in this course, be accompanied bv accuracy and soundness in detail
of structure. The instructor is quite as anxious to read interesting
or brilliant themes as you are to write them.
B: A theme definitely better than the average in form and content,
but not of the highest excellence, is graded B. The grade indicates
that the instructor is very favorably impressed.
C: C is the average grade. A theme graded C is mechanically accurate,
offers some variety of sentence construction and effectiveness of
diction, is satisfactorily paragraphed, is satisfactorily organized as
a whole, and is at least fair in content.
D: D indicates the lowest quality of work for which credit is given.
It is an unsatisfactory grade and often indicates a grave doubt in
the mind of the instructor. It is therefore a danger sign.
E: A grade of E means work too inferior for credit. Errors to be
specially guarded against are listed below. You are cautioned
against repeating errors in successive themes.
Faults in the details of writing:
Misspelled words
Sentence fragments
Comma splices
Sentences with violent changes in construction
Straggling sentences
Unclear or illogical sentences or diction
Bad errors in grammar
Faults in form and content:
Carelessness in the preparation of manuscript
A marked failure to paragraph properly
Straying from the subject
A marked lack of coherence
Inadequacy of content
Spelling Test
Your proficiency in spelling will be determined by your themes
and, in addition, by a special spelling test (or tests) based on the
section on spelling in the rhetoric text. In this test you are expected to
make a grade of at least ninety per cent. This statement does not
mean that if you make a grade, let us say, of eighty-eight per cent,
you will fail in the course. In general, however, illiterate spelling is
regarded as a sufficient cause for failure. A low grade in the test and
poor spelling in themes are therefore to be guarded against.
As you work on your own spelling difficulties, make full use of
pages 9, 27, and 45, below.
Conferences
You are urged to consult your instructor whenever you need advice
regarding your rhetoric work. Occasionally instructors call students
in for conference. Such conference appointments are a regular part of
the course, and absence from them is regarded as a serious delinquency.
Proficiency Examinations
At the beginning of each semester, a proficiency examination in
Freshman Rhetoric will be offered by the English Department.
Students who fail the Rhetoric 1 proficiency examination will be
denied admission to Rhetoric 1 and may prepare to pass the test at a
later date (1) by enrolling in Rhetoric 0, a one-semester, non-credit,
remedial course, (2) by tutoring, or (3) by independent study and
practice in writing. Students who do exceptionally well on the
proficiency examination will be granted exemption from Rhetoric 1
with three hours of credit. Likewise, students will be released from
Rhetoric 2 with three hours of credit by passing a Rhetoric 2
examination. Students who prepare for these examinations should note
that the proficiency examinations in Rhetoric 1 and 2 will be equivalent
to those given at the end of the semester in the respective courses.
According to a University ruling, a proficiency examination may not
be taken to remove a failure in a course.
Final Examinations and Semester Grades
Final examinations in Rhetoric 1 and 2 are primarily tests of
proficiency in English. Your instructor expects your final examination
paper to demonstrate conclusively that you can, and will henceforth,
write correctly and effectively even under pressure. In deciding on
your semester grade, your instructor does not average your theme
grades and indulge in mathematical calculations involving themes,
talks, recitations, tests, etc. On the basis of all such evidence, he
tries to determine just how proficient you are after a semester's study
and practice. He will ignore low grades made at the first of the
semester if work done later indicates genuine and permanent im-
provement; and he will likewise ignore high early grades if later
work shows increasing carelessness and lack of effort. Your instructor
is always willing to explain grades but he is not allowed to change
them.
Green Caldron
The Green Caldron is a magazine in which appear some of the
themes written by students in Rhetoric 1 and 2. A faculty committee
makes the final selections from the work chosen by individual instruc-
tors. The themes chosen are not all A themes necessarily, but all are
good, and each will be noteworthy as an illustration of at least one
6
principle of successful writing. Four issues appear during the year,
and to each issue at least one class recitation is devoted. You, therefore,
are expected to provide yourself, at the times indicated in the Calendar,
with copies of the magazine. They may be obtained at the Illini
Union Bookstore, 715 S. Wright Street.
Supplementary Reading
One important aim of the course is to encourage good reading.
In Room 104 of the University Library are shelved all the books listed
in the Manual on pages 63-95. In accordance with plans announced
by your instructor, you will be asked to read and report on several
books each semester.
Research in the Library
The following suggestions and regulations may be helpful to
students in using the library effectively for research themes.
1. Read your Library Handbook.
2. Start collecting material for your paper more than two weeks
before it is due. Otherwise, the books you want may already be in
use and cannot be procured in time to help you.
3. Plan to use the library in the morning and early afternoons of
weekdays rather than Saturday afternoons, when the crowds are
always largest. Many of the various departmental libraries you may
be referred to are apt to be closed on Saturday afternoons.
4. If you are going to write a theme in the field of music, for
instance, go directly to the Music Library for your material instead
of starting in the General Library. You will undoubtedly find in
the Music Library much more appropriate material than you would
find in the General Library. You will have the advantage of asking
the advice of the Music Librarian and of selecting your books from
open shelves rather than from catalog cards.
5. The catalog in the General Library Building includes the
holdings of all campus libraries. If the catalog card indicates that
all copies of the book you want are in a library outside of the General
Library Building, go directly to the library indicated.
6. If the catalog card indicates copies both in the General Library
Building and other campus libraries, you will often save time by
going directly to the campus library, especially if the Circulation Desk
is crowded.
7. Notice on the catalog card the date of publication of the book.
If it was published before 1900, library regulations will not permit
you to take it out of the building. Doubtless, you will prefer to use
more recently published materials, anyway.
8. Newspapers are generally unavailable for undergraduate student
use.
9. When using Readers Guide and other indexes, copy exact
reference the first time an article is used. Much time is wasted by
looking up references several times. They are often hard to trace.
10. If you are asking for a volume of a periodical at the Circula-
tion Desk, be sure to write on your call slip both the volume number
and the date of the issue you want. The year is not enough, for large
magazines like Life are bound four sections to a year.
11. Many periodicals are kept on open shelves in the Reference
Room. Check with the chart at the Reference Desk to see if the
particular volume you want is available before sending a call slip
through at the Circulation Desk.
12. Periodicals may be used only in the Library.

Rhetoric 0 Objectives
Rhetoric 0 is planned to prepare you for admission to Rhetoric 1.
In it you will study assignments designed to give you a working
knowledge of grammar, correct sentence and paragraph construction,
and punctuation. You will also be encouraged to enlarge your vocabu-
lary and to improve your spelling. You will write many short compo-
sitions, which will be analyzed by your instructor and which you will
revise and correct. You will analyze the writing of others and thereby
develop powers of criticism and an awareness of standards which will
help you improve your own writing.
You should bear in mind that Rhetoric 0 is not a required course.
It is offered by the University to those willing to work to overcome
their writing handicaps. By applying yourself you should be able to
pass Rhetoric 0 and thus gain admission to Rhetoric 1. // you are
negligent in doing the assigned work, you will be dropped from
Rhetoric 0 and will thus lose the assistance the University has
offered you. Instead of gaining admission to Rhetoric 1 by passing
Rhetoric 0, you may attempt to do so by passing a proficiency test
offered at the beginning of the next semester. If, by the beginning of
your third semester, you have not gained admission to Rhetoric 1, you
will be obliged to withdraw from the University.
A committee of three Rhetoric Staff members will study your
Rhetoric 0 final examination to determine whether you have developed
the proficiency necessary for admission to Rhetoric 1. If the committee
approves your admission to Rhetoric 1, your instructor will then
determine your semester grade on the basis of work done throughout
the semester.

Rhetoric 1 Objectives and Plan
Rhetoric is primarily concerned with the written and oral expression
of ideas based on personal observation and experience. It is designed
to develop in you the ability (1) to express easily, accurately, and
effectively the ideas and problems that arise in your own experience,
(2) to read with understanding and pleasure, (3) to listen to others
and understand the purpose, direction, and detail of what they are
saying, and (4) to speak effectively and without embarrassment.
To achieve these objectives you will be asked to write an average of
a theme a week and to read some of your compositions aloud to the
class.
Weeks 1-3: Preparation.
Review of fundamentals.
Three themes. These are diagnostic. On the basis of your
work on them you may be advised to withdraw from
Rhetoric 1 and to enroll in Rhetoric 0.
Weeks 4-15: Observational exposition.
Paragraphing.
Reading of models in exposition, with attention to means
of making experiences and procedures clear and inter-
esting.
Study and practice in outlining.
Expository themes reporting experiences, processes, activi-
ities, etc. One long composition.
Oral or written appraisal of outside reading.
Concurrent study of basic principles of correct composi-
tion, with particular attention to spelling, punctuation,
agreement, and reference. This phase of the course may
be expanded or reduced by individual instructors accord-
ing to the needs of particular classes.

Rhetoric 2 Objectives and Plan
Rhetoric 2, expecting a higher standard of achievement than that
prevailing in Rhetoric 1, is primarily concerned with analytical and
argumentative exposition. It is designed to perfect the abilities you
developed in Rhetoric 1 and to develop in you the ability (1) to digest
and evaluate the ideas of others, (2) to investigate and report the
results of such investigation, (3) to test the arguments of others, and
(4) to present your own arguments logically and persuasively.
NOTE: A student who receives a semester grade of C or D in
Rhetoric 2 is required to take an English qualifying examina-
tion at the end of his sophomore year, and, if he fails the
examination, to take Rhetoric 5, a remedial course for upper-
classmen. A passing grade on the examination or in Rhetoric
5 is required for graduation.

READING LIST
The books on this list are shelved in the Freshman Reading Room
(Room 104 of the University Library). This entire room is given over
to the use of students in Rhetoric 1 and 2 in order to encourage good
reading among freshmen. The books are arranged on the shelves in
the same order in which the titles are listed below. You are expected
to select your books directly from the shelves with the aid of a card
file containing brief descriptions of all books on the list. A librarian
is always in the room to help you in the selection of books. Your
instructor will make suggestions and specify requirements or limitations
to apply to the preparing of reports for your section. (See p. 7.)
Hours of the Freshman Reading Room are as follows: Monday
through Friday, 9 to 12, 1 to 6, and 7 to 10; Saturday, 9 to 12, 1 to 6.
The room is closed on Saturday nights. When it is closed, books may be
returned to North Reserve.
Books may be taken out for one week (with certain exceptions
which may circulate for a longer time) and are renewable unless
previously reserved by another student. By leaving your name at
the desk, you may reserve a book in circulation and you will be
notified when it is available for your use. The fine for overdue books
is twenty-five cents a day until the book is returned.
The latest numbers of the Saturday Review of Literature and the
book review sections of the New York Herald Tribune and the New
York Times as well as a complete file of the Green Caldron are
available for use in the Freshman Reading Room.
