The Role of the University
Brandeis University is named for the illustrious jurist, Louis Dembitz
Brandeis, whose wisdom contributed to every aspect of the welfare of his
country and his people. The founders of the University have been inspired by
the challenge of Justice Brandeis' ideal of what a university should be:
"It must always be rich in goals and ideals, seemingly attainable but beyond
immediate reach . . ."
"It must become truly a seat of learning where research is ■pursued, books
written, and the creative instinct is aroused, encouraged, and developed
in its faculty and students."
"It must ever be mindful that eudcation is a precious treasure transmitted
— a sacred trust to be held, used, and enjoyed, and if possible strengthened,
then passed on to others upon the same trust."
At the inaugural ceremonies in October, 1948, the aims of Brandeis Uni-
versity were stated by the first President, in the form of a three-fold promise.
First, Brandeis will be an institution of quality where the integrity of learning,
of research, of writing, of teaching, will not be compromised. An institution
bearing the name of Justice Brandeis must be dedicated to conscientiousness
in research and to honesty in the exploration of truth to its innermost parts.
Secondly, Brandeis University will be a school of the spirit — a school in
which the temper and climate of the mind will take precedence over the
acquisition of skills, and the development of techniques. Unyielding in the face
of the defeatism which is inherent in the various phases of nihilism, Brandeis
will be a dwelling place of permanent values — those few unchanging values
of beauty, of righteousness, of freedom, which man has ever sought to attain.
Finally, Brandeis will offer its opportunities of learning and of the cultiva-
tion of the heart to all. Neither student body nor faculty will ever be chosen
on the basis of population proportions whether ethnic or religious or economic
Brandeis University came into being because of the desire of American
Jewry to make a corporate contribution to higher education in the tradition
of the great American secular universities which have stemmed from denom-
inational generosity. By choosing its faculty on the basis of capacity and crea-
tivity and its students according to the criteria of academic merit and promise,
the University hopes to create an environment which may cause the pursuit of
learning to issue in wisdom.
The Special Character
The special character of Brandeis, in its undergraduate areas, is difficult to
define because it is not planned to implement any extremist educational phi-
losophy. The University has set itself to develop the whole man, the sensitive,
cultured, open-minded kind of citizen who grounds his thinking in facts, who
is intellectually and spiritually aware, who believes that life is significant and
who is concerned about a going society and the role he will play in such a
society.
[19]
THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY
The University will not give priority to the molding of vocational skills
nor is it partial to the development of specialized interests at the expense of a
solid general background. This should not be construed to mean that what is
termed practical or useful is to be ignored. Brandeis merely seeks to avoid
specialization which is unrelated to the heritage of the Western World — its
humanities, its social sciences, its sciences and its creative arts. For otherwise
it produces fragmentized men with the compartmentalized point of view which
has been the bane of contemporary life.
A realistic educational system must offer adequate opportunity for personal
fulfillment. The ego is precious and it should be protected and enriched. Edu-
cation at Brandeis encourages the drive for personal fulfillment, but only
within the framework of social responsibility.
Thus Brandeis belongs with many of its sister institutions as it strives for
full-orbed personalities, practical enough to cope with the problems of a tech-
nological civilization, yet mellowed by the values of a long historical heritage;
self-sufficient to the point of intellectual independence, yet fully prepared to
assume the responsibilities which society imposes.
University Organization
Brandeis University at the present time comprises the College of Arts and
Sciences, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Summer School.
The College of Arts and Sciences offers instruction leading to the Bachelor
of Arts degrees in the Schools of Creative Arts, Humanities, Social Science and
Science. Regularly matriculated students pursuing courses of instruction under
the Faculty of Arts and Sciences may, upon satisfactory completion of the first
year, continue as candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree.
Introductory and survey courses in all fields provide a foundation for the
student's general education as distinguished from his more intensive pursuit of
knowledge within specialized areas. After the first year's work is satisfactorily
completed, each student will select a provisional field of concentration from
the programs of studies offered by one of the Schools. A full listing of courses
of instruction in the College of Arts and Sciences appears in a later section of
the catalog.
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers courses of study leading
to the master's and doctor's degrees in ten areas: Chemistry, Music, Near
Eastern and Judaic Studies, Psychology, English and American Literature, His-
tory of Ideas, Physics, Biology, Biochemistry and Mathematics. A full listing
of the courses of instruction in these areas appear later in the catalog.
The Summer School of Brandeis University, established in 1957, places
emphasis upon two relatively new developments in summer school study. All
courses are offered within the framework of Institutes embodying unifying
themes. The themes vary from year to year. The thematic approach enables
faculty and students to relate their experience in one course to that in another
and to meet in colloquia and conferences, sometimes cutting across disciplinary
lines.
The other unique feature is the concentration of offerings on the advanced
undergraduate and graduate level.

dressing: Summer School Office, Rabb Graduate Center, Brandeis University,
Waltham 54, Massachusetts.
Ziskind Professorships
To implement its philosophy of education, the University brings to the
campus distinguished academic figures from sister universities both in the
United States and abroad who serve as Ziskind Visiting Professors. This pro-
gram, made possible by the Jacob Ziskind Endowment Fund, enables the
University to supplement its regular teaching staff with the presence of acade-
micians drawn from every major stream of educational thought. Inclusion of
distinguished foreign academicians serves to challenge and stimulate faculty
and students with the introduction of new concepts and new educational view-
points, thus strengthening the entire educational process.
Among the Ziskind Professors are: Erich Heller, Jacob Ziskind Professor of
German Literature; Arnold Hauser, Jacob Ziskind Professor of Fine Arts; Israel
Efros, Jacob Ziskind Professor of Hebrew Literature and Jewish Philosophy;
and Kurt Goldstein, Jacob Ziskind Professor of Psychology.
Lectureships
Private donors and foundations have established lectureships which sup-
plement the established curriculum and bring to campus prominent authorities
from varying fields:
Harry B. Helmsley Lectures
Established for the purpose of reducing barriers that separate races, creeds
and nationalities, the Helmsley Lecture series in 1956-1957 presented Otto
Klineberg, Martin Luther King, Jr., Oliver C. Cox, Ina DeA. Reid, Bruno
Bettelheim, E. Franklin Frazier, Martin D'Arcy, Paul Tillich, Henry Aiken,
Northrop Frye, and Emanuel Rackman.
Sidney Hillman Lectures
Made possible by the Sidney Hillman Foundation, this program has enabled
the University to present series of lectures by the following: Robert Maynard
Hutchins, Max Lerner, Eliahu Elath and Eleanor Roosevelt. The Hillman Lec-
tures for 1957-1958 will be offered by Hon. Lester Pearson of Canada.
Annual Louis Dembitz Brandeis Memorial Lecture
An annual lecture series has been established in commemoration of the
birthday of Louis Dembitz Brandeis, for whom the University is named. These
lectures, open to the public, concern themselves with "the cause of justice and
the rights and dignity of man." Previous Louis Dembitz Brandeis Memorial
Lecturers have been United States Supreme Court Associate Justices Felix
Frankfurter and William O. Douglas, and Irving Dilliard, of the St. Louis Post-
Dispatch, the Honorable Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr., United States District Judge
for Massachusetts, and the Honorable William Henry Hastie, Judge of the Third
United States District Court of Appeals. The 1956 guest was Earl Warren,
Chief Justice of the United States.
[21]
THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY
Ludwig Lewisohn Memorial Lectures
Sponsored by students of the University in tribute to their late teacher, the
1956-1957 series presented Stanley Edgar Hyman, Randall Jarrell, Alfred Kazin,
Malcom Cowley, Maxwell Geismar and Cleanth Brooks.
Foundation for Advanced Studies
It is clearly recognized that a properly functioning university assumes the
dual responsibility of transmitting knowledge to its students and of widening
the boundaries of knowledge available to students and society; and that it is
the normal task of members of the faculty to be teacher-scholars who fulfill
these two responsibilities. To increase the opportunities for research, Brandeis
University has established a Foundation for Advanced Studies through which
support may be provided for scholarly activities of members of the faculty,
distinguished visiting scholars and scientists, and candidates for advanced
degrees.
Anthropology
An annual grant from the Samuel Rubin Foundation supports the program
in Anthropology on the campus and field work in the Middle East designed
to explore the origins of civilization.
Biochemistry
The graduate and research program in Biochemistry, starting in the academic
year 1957-1958 which is described in detail in a later section of this catalog,
is supported by a grant from the Dorothy H. and Lewis Rosensteil Foundation
made to Brandeis University "in support of research in the natural sciences
with primary emphasis in Biochemistry".
Grants in Aid of Research
Grants are made to the University by individuals and by many privately and
publicly supported foundations. These grants have provided materials, equip-
ment, and facilities for research and financial support for advanced students,
research assistants and members of the faculty.
University Activities
The Festival of the Creative Arts
Biennially the University sponsors a Festival of the Creative Arts which
is held in the Ullman Amphitheatre. In the past it has featured the world
premiere of Leonard Bernstein's "Trouble in Tahiti," a choreographed version
of Stravinsky's "Les Noces," the world premiere of Kurt Weill's "Threepenny
Opera," in the English adaptation by Marc Blitzstein, the first presentation
in America of Poulenc's "Les Mamelles de Tiresias," a major art exhibit "Art
on the Campus," and the American premiere of Darius Milhaud's opera "Medee"
and ballet "Salade."
Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council
Brandeis University is a member of the Lowell Institute Cooperative Broad-
casting Council, which sponsors the national award-winning educational radio
[22]
THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY
station WGBH-FM and Boston's pioneer educational TV station, WGBH-TV,
Channel 2. Brandeis, along with Boston College, the Boston Symphony Orches-
tra, Boston University, Harvard University, Lowell Institute, MIT, the Museum
of Fine Arts, the New England Conservatory of Music, Northeastern University,
and Tufts University, makes its teaching facilities available for use by WGBH-
FM and its television affiliate WGBH-TV. As a member of the Lowell Institute,
which develops the programming for both stations, the University extends its
educational facilities and concepts beyond the confines of the campus into the
Boston community.
Harvard-Brandeis Cooperative Research
on Israel's Legal Development:
Harvard University Law School and Brandeis University jointly sponsor
a program designed to codify the law of the State of Israel. Launched several
years ago by Harvard Law School, the new co-sponsorship with Brandeis Uni-
versity will enable continuance of the research until 1959. The program seeks
to stimulate the study of comparative law and legislation; to undertake legisla-
tive research relating to problems raised by bills under consideration in Israel;
and to establish a possible model for similar undertakings relating to the law
of other new or rapidly changing societies.
Brandeis University Creative Arts Awards
The establishment of the Brandeis University Creative Arts Awards was
announced by the University during 1956. Awards are presented annually in
the areas of Theatre Arts, Music, Painting, Poetry and Sculpture. In each of
these fields of the Arts two types of awards are bestowed. Achievement medals
are conferred upon successful artists for outstanding accomplishment during
the year; and grants-in-aid are awarded to young talented persons, in recognition
of their creative ability and encouragement for future study and training. Special
juries are appointed annually in each of the five fields to judge the competition.
Medal recipients for 1956-1957 were as follows: Painting, Stuart Davis; Poetry,
William Carlos Williams; Music, William Schuman; and Theatre Arts, Hallie
Flannagan Davis.
Other Cultural Opportunities
The favorable location of Brandeis University enables its students to enjoy
both the charm of rustic New England life and the advantages of metropolitan
Boston.
Outstanding musical events are offered at Symphony Hall, home of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, at the Boston Opera House and at Jordan Hall.
Valuable art collections and interesting exhibits are found in the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Boston Public
Library, and the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art. Students are urged to
attend the lectures and forums constantly scheduled in the city.
Opportunities for entertainment are also plentiful. With more legitimate
theatres than any city in the nation except New York, Boston is often host to
new plays before they are taken to Broadway. The ballet, the opera and other
similar events are equally accessible.
[23]

University Facilities
Brandeis University, some ten miles west of Boston, is situated on the
southwest outskirts of Waltham, Massachusetts. Adjacent to Wellesley and
near historic Lexington and Concord, the campus overlooks a Greater Boston
suburban panorama. From the eastern Charles River boundary, University
grounds sweep upwards to New England's famed Boston Rock, where Governor
Winthrop and his Massachusetts Colony explorers first surveyed this region.
Brandeis' architectural master plan follows the free forms of rolling terrain,
rock outcroppings, complementary trees and shrubbery. Linked by walks and
roads, buildings of glass, brick and stone contrast colorfully with winter, and
blend with New England's bright autumn, flowering spring and green summer
seasons.
Brandeis is easily accessible. Trains from Boston's North Station stop at
Roberts-Brandeis University Station. Watertown cars run from Park Street
subway station in Boston to Newton Corner, where a Roberts bus may be taken
directly to the campus on South Street in Waltham. By automobile, Brandeis
may be reached from Boston on Commonwealth Avenue (Route 30); from
Exit 45 of Boston's encircling Route 128; or from Exit 14 of the east-west
Massachusetts Turnpike. Road signs at the Route 30 rotary just west of the
Route 128 overpass point to Brandeis University.
♦ Residence Halls
Men's and women's accommodations consist predominantly of double
rooms, some single rooms and larger quarters, and each residence hail has its
own comfortable lounge. Modern laundry and other conveniences are available
to all students. Each resident student should bring blankets, lamps and such
rugs and decorations as are desired. Arrangements for linen and towel service
may be made through the University.
The Castle
On the campus heights near Boston Rock is the University's landmark,
an imposing fieldstone structure designed after medieval architecture. Com-
pleted some time before Brandeis University came into being, the Castle still
attracts many visitors. The interior is completely redesigned to provide modern
living for students, including single and double rooms as well as apartments
for several students.
Schwartz Hall
Duplicating medieval design, this sister structure to the Castle houses 26
students. The lounge, a retreat for reading, relaxation and entertainment, is
furnished in contemporary style and equipped with a radio-phonograph-tele-
vision console.
[24]
UNIVERSITY FACILITIES
Hamilton Quadrangle
This main women's housing and recreational area consists of the Student
Union building and five residence halls surrounding the Anne J. Kane Re-
flecting Pool. Residence halls are a double unit designated temporarily as

Study Halls
Ford Hall
A red brick building near the central campus, Ford Hall contains classrooms,
laboratories, a portion of the faculty and administrative offices, and Seifer Hall,
an auditorium seating approximately 500. This hall is used for lectures, con-
certs, small dramatic performances, Brandeis-Waltham choral rehearsals, and
evening sessions of the Institute of Adult Education.
Sydeman Hall
This annex to Ford Hall houses laboratories, classrooms, faculty and ad-
ministrative offices and a faculty lounge.
Slosberg Music Center
A major structure for the School of Creative Arts, this center contains a
recital hall seating 250, classrooms, office studios, practice rooms, music library,
as well as recording and transcription alcoves. A central, skylighted hall con-
tains changing displays of the University's permanent art collection. Many of
the annual University-sponsored art exhibits are also held here.
Kalman Science Center
Dominating the central campus, the Kalman Science Center contains in-
structional and research facilities for the undergraduate School of Science,
and for advanced work in the Graduate School. Two-thirds of the building's
walls are glass, allowing maximum natural light into classrooms and laboratories.
[25]
UNIVERSITY FACILITIES
Rabb Graduate Center
This unique structure includes seminar rooms, classrooms, a circular glass-
walled lounge, and Graduate School faculty and administrative offices. Air
conditioned, the center also serves ideally for the Brandeis University Summer
School.
The University Library
About to rise on the north campus is the new Goldfarb Library Building, a
three-story glass and brick structure embodying the latest library construction
principles, with a 600,000 volume capacity. Interspersed through open stacks
will be carrells to ensure privacy for researchers. Adjacent to resources pertain-
ing to their fields will be private studies for faculty members of the Schools of
Science, Humanities, Social Science and Creative Arts. Seminar rooms will be
similarly provided in specific research and reference areas. The library will also
contain centralized audio-visual aids, and works of art from the University
collection will be displayed throughout the building.
The present library, located near the central campus, is a gabled fieldstone
structure. Remodeled in 1948 with a three-story stack wing, storage and office
area, its reading rooms can accommodate some three hundred students at a
time. The current collection, devoted primarily to essential instructional, re-
search and reference needs, is enlarging constantly in pace with University
expansion. The University record library, containing close to 2000 albums, is
on the library Music Balcony, where students have the use of record players.
Through the courtesy of city officials, Brandeis students have access to the Wal-
tham Public Library. By arrangement, faculty and students may also use the
Boston Public Library as well as specialized libraries of neighboring educational
institutions.
Recreational Facilities
Castle Commons
Constructed in circular conservatory style, this spacious lounge is centrally
situated on the second story of the Castle, and is a popular gathering place for
students during leisure hours. Ideal for small dances and social functions, its
handsome furnishings include a grand piano, radio-phonograph and television
console, club chairs, divans, desks and bridge tables. The Commons also con-
tains a portion of the University's permanent art collection.
Student Union
The two-story glass wall of this handsome rust-brick structure overlooks
the pool and gardens of Hamilton Quadrangle. The first floor houses a dining
hall, and the second floor a faculty dining room, private dining room, dub
lounge, and music room.

Spacious and comfortable, this glass and brick walled lounge occupies
the major portion of the Student Union upper level. It is used for informal dis-
cussions, lectures, songfests and conferences, and is a popular meeting place
[26]
UNIVERSITY FACILITIES
for students between classes. Throughout the year, works by student and con-
temporary artists are exhibited.
Mailman Student Center
This striking glass, brick and granite structure provides a spacious lounge
for Ridgewood Quadrangle students, a modern recreational room, and lockers
for commuting students. Conveniently adjacent to South Parking area, the
building's broad windows and terraces look out on Ridgewood Quadrangle,
Slosberg Music Center, and the landscaped wooded area gracing the south-
western campus.
The Three Chapels
In the quiet northwest campus are Brandeis University's three chapels.
Traditionally, an educational institution sponsored by a religious faith has
one chapel. Though use is almost invariably open to all students, the chapel
is identified practically and symbolically with the host group.
Brandeis University, however, goes on the assumption that worship is a
matter of mood and spiritual climate, not limited merely to words or cere-
monies. Thus its three chapels serve Protestant, Jewish and Roman Catholic
faiths. A unifying altar serves a large outdoor area where shared functions,
such as Baccalaureate, are celebrated. The University has no doctrinal slant,
official chaplain or compulsory chapel attendance. Student organizations re-
sponsible for services are Hillel Foundation, Newman Club, and Student Chris-
tian Association.
Woodruff Hall
Overlooking the central campus, this white brick building houses the
Office of the President and other administrative units.
Ullman Amphitheatre
Utilizing a natural bowl below the grape arbor, the Amphitheatre contains
a complete stage with full lighting equipment and orchestra pit, several class-
rooms and a faculty office. It is the center of student theatre activity and scene
of the University's Festivals of the Creative Arts.
South Hall
This building, near Ford Hall and the Brandeis Information Bureau, con-
tains the Post Office, Service Bureau and Campus Store. The store is maintained
to provide students with a convenient and economical means of securing
general supplies, books, stationery and refreshments.
Stoneman Infirmary
On the forward slope of the campus near the Castle, the Infirmary houses
a lounge, outpatient clinic, four consulting suites, first-aid treatment room,
and rooms for sixteen bed patients.
[27]
UNIVERSITY FACILITIES

Ill
THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
A. Admission of Students
Principles
Admission to college is not merely a matter of meeting specific require-
ments. Since the number of qualified candidates each year substantially exceeds
the limit that may be registered, the function of the Committee on Admissions
is largely selective. Selection is based solely on merit, without reference to
geography, race, religion, color, nationality, or the social or economic status
of parents. The Committee selects those candidates whom it believes to be best
fitted to and most likely to profit from the University's educational program.
The Committee on Admissions gives weight to the following considerations
in the evaluation of candidates: the secondary school record, including aca-
demic grades, the principal's recommendation, rank in class, test scores, per-
sonality chart, and extracurricular activities; the scores obtained in the Aptitude
and Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board; character
references; impressions gained from a personal interview; the medical and
health report; and the candidate's statement concerning his objectives in
College.
Entrance Requirements
The Committee on Admissions has established certain basic standards for
the guidance of candidates. These standards are not inflexible and will not
be administered so as to eliminate an applicant who is obviously well qualified
to do successful work in the College.
To be eligible for admission to the College, a candidate must have completed
a college preparatory course in secondary school leading to graduation or its
full equivalent. He must have presented satisfactory character references, and
a medical and health report acceptable to the University Health Office. He
should have received the unqualified recommendation of his secondary school
principal. His rank in class should be high, and he should have attained
college certificate grades in at least two-thirds of the courses in his last four
years of college preparation.
An adequate course in preparation for college should include four years of
English (grammar, composition and literature), three years of a foreign lan-
guage (two years each of two languages is acceptable but less desirable), two
and a half years of mathematics ( intermediate mathematics, emphasizing basic
algebraic, geometric and trigonometric concepts and deductive reasoning; sci-
ence concentrators should have, in addition, a year of advanced mathematics),
one year of science (chemistry, physics or biology), and one year of history.
[29]
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
The remaining courses up to the number required for graduation should gen-
erally be in traditional college preparatory subjects. It is recognized, however,
that courses in art and music are of value to students intending to concentrate
in those fields in college.
The Aptitude and Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination
Board are regarded by the Committee on Admissions as a basic measure of an
applicant's fitness for college study, and as the fairest method of evaluating
on a competitive basis the qualification of candidates from different schools
and areas. The general rule is that applicants must take both the Aptitude
and Achievement Tests. Exceptions to this rule may be made by the Committee
on Admissions at its discretion.
It is recommended that the Aptitude Tests be taken in January or February
of the senior year and the Achievement Tests in March, although both sets may
be taken in March. A candidate of exceptional promise may receive a pro-
visional acceptance after the January Aptitude Tests, subject to his subsequent
success in the March Achievement Tests. The College recognizes the desira-
bility of taking the aptitude tests in May of the Junior year, for purposes of
guidance.
Full information concerning the tests and applications therefor may be
obtained from secondary school guidance directors or directly from the Col-
lege Entrance Examination Board, Princeton, New Jersey, or Box 9896, Los
Feliz Station, Los Angeles, California. The candidate should direct the Board
to report his score to the Director of Admissions of Brandeis University. The
choice of the three Achievement Tests will to some extent be governed by
the subjects the applicant is taking in his senior year, but it is generally de-
sirable that the tests cover different areas, including English or a foreign
language, mathematics or a science, and social studies.
Admission to Advanced Standing
Transfer students may be admitted to the sophomore or junior classes of
the College and receive credit for courses satisfactorily completed in other
colleges of acceptable standing and in subjects similar in nature to those
offered in the Brandeis curriculum. Such candidates may be required to take
the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board in
March of the year of the application. It is very seldom that a transfer student
is admitted at the beginning of the second semester, or to more than two years
of advanced standing.
Admission of Special Students
The Committee on Admissions may accept as special students a limited
number of applicants who are not candidates for a degree and who may wish
to elect one or more courses for the study of which they are found to be
qualified. The category of special students is usually limited to those per-
sons not of college age who wish to pursue a limited non-degree program
of study.
[30]
ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
Admissions Procedure
The college year begins in September and new students are regularly
enrolled at that time only. The application blank should be filed about eleven
months before the date of entrance and certainly well in advance of the March
College Board Tests. The Committee on Admissions will act on an applica-
tion when it has received the transcript covering three and a half years of sec-
ondary school work, the College Board test scores, and the essential references
and recommendations.
A personal interview is considered advantageous for both the candidate
and the Committee, and is required whenever practicable. Each prospective
student is urged to visit the campus *nd to make an appointment for an inter-
view in the Office of Admissions, which is open Mondays through Fridays in-
cluding vacation periods but excluding legal holidays. Off-campus interviews
for candidates from outside of New England may be arranged in cases where
it appears that there is a reasonable probability of acceptance.
Upon notification of acceptance, a candidate is required to remit the reser-
vation fee within the time specified, if he chooses to accept the place offered
to him. In fairness to qualified applicants on the waiting list, no place in
class will be reserved for an accepted candidate who has failed to complete his
reservation.
Upon formal notice of admission, all new students will be required to com-
plete a Health Examination Report, Part A of which is to be completed by
the applicant and Part B by his family physician. The admission procedure
cannot be considered as complete until this Health Examination Report has
been approved by the Medical Department.
Inquiries and correspondence should be addressed to the Director of Ad-
missions, Ford Hall, Brandeis University, Waltham 54, Massachusetts.
[31]
THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
B. Scholarships and Financial Aid
Generous benefactors throughout the country have provided Brandeis Uni-
versity with funds for financial assistance to students. A list of these funds
will be found in the Appendices. Grants of assistance are made on a com-
petitive basis of merit; their amount is adjusted to fit the need of the applicant
and is applied to University fees. Prospective students should direct all in-
quiries to Director of Admissions, Ford Hall, Brandeis University, Waltham
54, Massachusetts. Enrolled students should consult the Director, Office of
Student Personnel. Awards to new students will not be made until they have
been accepted for admission to the Freshman Class or to advanced standing, and
all such candidates are required to file a Parents' Financial Statement with the
College Scholarship Service of the College Entrance Examination Board.
Scholarships
Scholarships will be awarded in competition on the basis of high scholastic
attainment, superior character or conspicuous talent. Scholarship stipends will
be adjusted on the basis of individual need as determined by the Committee
on Admissions and Scholarships. A few scholarships covering tuition, board
and room are available to exceptional students.
The National Scholarship Program
In addition to the regular scholarship program, a limited number of
National Scholarships will be awarded to outstanding students. Recipients of
these scholarships will be selected competitively, and the awards will be based
solely upon scholastic record, academic potential, and the results of Aptitude
and Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board. The stip-
ends will range as high as $1500, and will be given in each of the undergraduate
Schools.
Bursary Aid
Applicants who do not qualify for scholarships may be considered for
grants designated as Bursary Aid. The stipends will be determined on the
basis of individual need by the Committee on Admissions and Scholarships.
Loans
Applications for loan funds will be received by the Dean of Students only
from students who have spent at least one year at Brandeis University. Stu-
dents receiving loans must be in good standing.

SCHOLARSHIP AND FINANCIAL AID
Loans are to be repaid in accordance with a schedule agreed upon with
the Comptroller.
Student Employment
In accordance with established policies, part-time student employment
on the campus may be assigned by the Committee on Admissions and Scholar-
ships to students who need additional assistance. The sum of money to be
earned during the school year varies in individual cases. The maximum em-
ployment permitted is fifteen hours work per week. Not all students can be
alloted this maximum amount. Assignment of student employment will be
made by the Office of Student Personnel and will be based upon the individual
abilities of the applicants as well as on the requisitions for student employment
approved for the various departments. Students who do not fulfill the responsi-
bilities of their assignment will be withdrawn from these positions. The Uni-
versity is not able to provide jobs for all students applying for student em-
ployment. The Office of Student Personnel can, on occasion, help interested
students obtain part-time work opportunities in Waltham and the neighboring
communities.

C. Student Services
The Dean of Students is the University Officer responsible for the super-
vising and coordinating of the Office of Admission and all student services
referred to below.
The University makes a policy of encouraging a close relationship between
faculty and students. One of the first acts of the new student is to consult his
faculty adviser about his program of study. This meeting will have been
arranged by the Dean and the staff of the Office of Student Personnel, (Syde-
man Hall ) , who work with each department's student adviser. They familiarize
themselves with the backgrounds of new students and assign them to faculty
advisers who most closely share their probable interests. When students have
questions which are not answered in the catalog, they should feel free to bring
them to a member of the Office of Student Personnel.
The Office of Student Personnel provides several specific services which
are designed to meet student needs. The Dean and the Staff interpret entrance
and orientation week test scores for individual students upon their request
and provide academic, personal and vocational counseling for students seeking
such aid. In addition they work closely with those students who are having
difficulty in maintaining satisfactory academic records.
Class Advisers
The University maintains an arrangement of class advisers. The Assistant
Director of Student Personnel serves as Freshman Class Adviser and is available
for all Freshmen to consult on any matters pertaining to classroom and extra-
classroom matters. The Director of Student Personnel serves as Adviser to all
Sophomore and Junior Class members as well as to the elected officers of these
two classes. The Dean of Students serves as Adviser to the Senior Class and
should be consulted on matters pertaining to Graduate and Professional School
work.
The Administrative Committee
The Administrative Committee of the Faculty reviews academic records
after each return of grades, designates the Dean's List, grants leaves of absence
and withdrawal, establishes the rules and regulations covering student life, and
enforces faculty academic regulations by placing students on warning, proba-
tion, or severing their connection from the University. The Dean of Students
and the Director of Student Personnel are both members of this Committee.
Students who wish to petition this Committee may do so through the Office
of Student Personnel. The decisions of the Administrative Committee are final.
Certain areas of decision have been delegated by the Faculty to the Student
Board of Review which is elected by the student body.
[34]
STUDENT SERVICES
All matters pertaining to housing, permission to live off-campus, summer
employment and placement opportunities and the like are under the jurisdiction
of the Office of Student Personnel.
Automobile Regulations
The University will not allow Freshman students to maintain automobiles
on th§ University grounds. All other students who plan to drive on the campus
must register their cars with the Department of Buildings and Grounds and
are expected to observe all University Traffic and Parking Regulations.
Office of the Registrar
The Office of the Registrar (Ford Hall) secures and maintains the official
records of students. This office conducts registration and arranges the schedules
of classes and examinations. Students who have class or examination conflicts
should consult the Office of the Registrar. At the end of each year students
receive a report of their grades and of their progress toward the degree. This
office issues the official transcript of the University on request, and it serves as
the liaison office between students and Selective Service Boards and the Veterans'
Administration. Foreign students who have visa problems should consult this
office.
The University Health Office
The Medical Director and his staff are responsible for supervision of the
physical welfare of students, including the establishment and enforcement of
infirmary regulations. Payment of the required medical fee entitles students
to treatment available in the new David Stoneman Infirmary, and to par-
ticipate in the benefits of the University Health Insurance Program. Under
this arrangement, the services of the Health Office are supplemented by the
consulting services of medical specialists.
New students in the college as well as the graduate schools are responsible
for submission of the physical report and meeting all requirements of the
Health Office. These include a certificate of inoculation against smallpox.
Since students are not permitted to register until these requirements have been
satisfied, it is strongly recommended that reports be submitted at least two
months before registration. All new students must report for physical exam-
inations at the beginning of each academic year.
The health insurance program helps defray expenses during the academic
year only (September to June) for treatment beyond the scope of the Health
Office. A brochure outlining the details of this program is distributed to each
student at registration, and copies are mailed to parents. It should be noted
here, however, that coverage is not provided for pre-existing conditions, extra-
ordinary cases, psychiatric treatment, optical and dental services or special
materials.
"Within the limitations of the insurance coverage, fees of outside doctors
and hospitals will be processed for payment only when consultations or hos-

STUDENT SERVICES
pitalization have been authorized by the University Health Office in advance
on a form provided for this purpose. The University is not responsible for
off-campus medical and hospital care sought by students or their parents on
their own initiative, or for outside care or consultation which has been
recommended but not authorized by the Health Office. Students are urgently
requested to read the Health Office pamphlet with great care.
The Psychological Counseling Center
The Psychological Counseling Center is located on the first floor of Ridge-
wood 20. The purpose of this service is to assist the students in the solution
of their personal and emotional problems. Those who wish such help can refer
themselves directly to the Center. All communications of the students are held
in confidence by its staff.
Within the limitations of their time, the staff members will also discuss
with the students the results of their psychological tests whenever such a dis-
cussion appears desirable. The Psychological Counseling Center shares the
services of the Psychiatric Consultant to the Health Office.

D. Student Activities
Extra-curricular student activity at Brandeis University is a major part of
campus living. Values and ideas of classroom experience and the traditions of a
democratic society are extended and developed through an intensive program
of imaginative student activities. These activities are no mere adjunct to
formal study, but together with the pursuit of academic disciplines contribute
significantly to the development of intelligent college citizens.
Brandeis students consider themselves a part of a community dedicated to
the advancement of liberal values, the enrichment of life experience and the
deepening of learning. Organized as the Brandeis Student Union, they con-
sider it their prime responsibility to create a democratic student organization
to increase the flow of new ideas and to provide enjoyable and creative recrea-
tional and cultural activities for all students.
The Student Union is the assembly of the entire student body. The Student
Union Council, consisting of elected officers and elected representatives from
each class, meets weekly to conduct its business and supervise its programs.
Many problems of student discipline are placed entirely in the hands of
the Student Board of Review or the Women's Subsidiary Board of Review
which act as judicial bodies.
In addition to overall student organization, each class elects its own officers
to manage various class activities and functions.
Publications
The student publications include The Justice, a newspaper edited and man-
aged entirely by students to cover matters of campus interest; The Turret, a
student literary magazine published several times yearly and The Retort appear-
ing semi-annually with student articles of scientific interest. The Yearbook is
published annually by the Yearbook Club in cooperation with the Student
Union.
Organizations
A broad variety of student organizations exists for all who are interested.
Organizations are open to any matriculated student on the basis of competency
or interest. No exclusive or secret societies may be organized.
Academic interest clubs include the Pre-Medical and Pre-Law Societies, the
Literary Society, Spanish Club, German Club, Hebrew Circle, Le Cercle Francais,
and organizations for those interested in Philosophy, Biology, Chemistry, Mathe-
matics and Physics.
Religious activities are centered in the Three Chapels and are conducted
by the three student religious organizations, the Hillel Foundation, the New-
[37]
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
man Club and the Student Christian Association. In addition, each of these
groups has a chaplain to serve their needs and interests.
Musical, dramatic and similar activities are engaged in by a number of
student groups including the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, the Brandeis Uni-
versity Chorus, the Glee Club, the Drama Club, Modern Dance Club and the
Brandeis- Waltham Civic Symphony Orchestra. An original student production
of a musical comedy nature is presented each year by the Hi-Charlie Association
and the proceeds are used for a student scholarship.
Commuters have their own organization, in addition, to serve their in-
terests. Dormitory residents elect officers and dormitory committees to foster
a social program within the residence halls.
The Brandeis Honor Society, which includes members of the faculty, each
year elects to its membership outstanding juniors and seniors whose academic
achievement is of a distinguished nature.
Athletic Activities
Recognizing the importance of athletics in a sound college educational
program, Brandeis University offers a wide variety of organized sports. All
aspects of college athletics, however, are subordinate to the essential purposes
for which the University exists and must be controlled by educational considera-
tions as determined by the Faculty Committee on Athletics. The athletic pro-
gram exists for the welfare of the student, and for the contribution it can make
to his healthy educational experience. A physical examination is required be-
fore one may participate in any organized sport.
Varsity Athletics
The University fields varsity teams for men in football, basketball, baseball,
track, fencing, wrestling, swimming and tennis. Women engage in varsity
competition in basketball, volley ball, field hockey and fencing. These varsity
squads compete against teams representing colleges and universities which
regard the concept of athletics in the same light as does Brandeis University.
Playing on a home-and-away basis, Brandeis teams have journeyed to, and
have in turn acted as host to, teams from the Midwest, the South and New
England. All home athletic contests are played on campus on Gordon Field.
Marcus Field or in the Shapiro Athletic Center.
Intramural Athletics
Believing in the values of athletic participation for both conditioning and
relaxation, the University has embarked upon a full scale intramural program
for its students. This program centers about the Marcus Field and the Abraham
Shapiro Athletic Center. All students are required to participate in an intra-
mural sport of their choice for a minimum of one year.
The men's intramural program includes football, basketball, softball, and
badminton. Residence Hall and commuter teams have been organized to com-
[38]
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
pete against each other in these sports with the competitive aspects subordinated
to the enjoyment of the game.
Women's activities include archery, fencing, softball, badminton, basket-
ball, field hockey and dance. The Women's Physical Education Department
sponsors the Women's Athletic Council, organized by the students. This
Council is responsible for the women's sports program. Included among the
Council's activities is the Modern Dance Group. Students who have special
talent in modern dance are afforded the opportunity to specialize in more
advanced technique, individual and group choreography, leading towards a
dance concert given in the Spring.

THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
F. Academic Requirements
The College accepts as degree candidates only students who carry a full
program which is five courses per term. Members of the junior and senior
classes who are concentrating in a science may work at the four-course rate
provided that they carry fifteen semester hours credit in each term and are
making normal progress toward their degree requirements.
Permission to take one additional course may be granted by the Administra-
tive Committee of the Faculty to students whose records are above average
and who have special reasons for needing additional credit. There is a fee of
$100. per course for each term of additional elective instruction beyond the
normal five-course rate of work. Students who are required to take a term of
English Composition may be allowed to take, without extra charge, a sixth
course for one term during the year in which they take English Composition,
provided they petition their class adviser and receive approval.
Regularly matriculated students who wish to audit courses should secure
the permission of the instructor.
Class Standing
The minimum number of credits required for advancement to each class
is as follows: sophomore, 30; junior, 60; senior, 90; for graduation, 120. Stu-
dents not accumulating the prescribed number of credits will be listed as un-
classified.
Changes in Courses
All students who wish to make changes in their programs of study must
consult their faculty advisers and obtain formal approval for such changes from
the Office of the Registrar. Students who request such changes after the first
two weeks of instruction of the semester must also obtain the approval of the
Administrative Committee of the Faculty and pay a fee of $5.00 for each change
of courses. Students may not enter a course after the fourth week of a term.
Withdrawal from Courses
Matriculated students who wish to work at less than the required course
rate must consult the Office of Student Personnel and obtain the approval of the
Administrative Committee of the Faculty. Permission to work at a reduced rate
will be granted only in unusual circumstances. Students who wish to withdraw
from a sixth course without academic penalty must notify the Registrar by the
last day of the term on which a lecture or class in that course is given. Students
[43]
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
withdrawing after the first two weeks of instruction from a sixth course for
which tuition is charged, will be charged a prorated fee for the instruction
received.
Withdrawal from the University
A student wishing to take a leave of absence or to withdraw from the Uni-
versity must consult the Office of Student Personnel. Clearance by all admin-
istrative offices and the approval of the Administrative Committee of the Faculty
are necessary to complete this procedure.
Attendance
Starting two weeks after the first meeting of classes, attendance will be
taken and reported in all courses required under the General Education pro-
gram, and in courses numbered below 100 normally open to freshmen.
Freshmen and sophomores in good standing will be permitted no more
than three unexcused absences per course per semester.
Freshmen and sophomores on the Dean's List and all juniors and seniors
in good standing are exempt from the regulations on unexcused absences.
However, it is assumed that these exempt students will meet their academic
obligations with a proper sense of responsibility and accordingly, members
of the Faculty reserve the right to report to the Administrative Committee
the names of any such students who abuse this privilege.
All students on warning and probation are required to meet their academic
obligations and are not permitted any unexcused absences while on warning
and on probation. Instructors are required to report the attendance of all stu-
dents on probation or on warning.
All instructors will report attendance in all classes for all students the day
preceding and the day following a recess of two days or more. Students who
have unexcused absences on such days will be subject to severe disciplinary
action by the Administrative Committee. All students, including those on the
Dean's List, are subject to this regulation.
A student absent from classes because of illness must consult the University
Health Office before attendance is resumed. Students must abide by the rules
governing excused absences for medical reasons as described in the Health
Office pamphlet.
Classes begin at ten minutes after the hour and end on the hour. Tardy
students may be marked absent at the discretion of the instructor.
Grades
Formal grades will be reported to the Office of the Registrar four times a
year. In determining these grades all components of the student's work in
a course will be considered: written work, recitations, laboratory technique
and reports, special -reports or research and final examinations.
[44]
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
The following grades will be used:
A High Distinction
B Distinction
C Satisfactory
D Passing, but unsatisfactory
E Failure
Academic Status
A satisfactory record may contain not more than one D and no E's. Stu-
dents with satisfactory records will be advanced to the next class. At the end
of the Fall term, and at the end of the academic year on the basis of the entire
year's record, the Administrative Committee of the Faculty announces the
Dean's List of honor students according to the following categories. No stu-
dent will have his name placed on the Dean's List who has a D or more than
one C in his record for the period.
Group I Group II
1 C
5 A
3 A 2 B
4 A
1 B
3 A IB
31/2 A

2 A 3 B
4 A
1 c
1 A 4 B
3 A
2 B
B average
In order to be eligible for the degree a student must compensate for any
D beyond two with an A or B.
Whenever a student's grades are unsatisfactory, the Administrative Com-
mittee will notify him and his parents in writing. When there are extenuating
circumstances, no further action is taken. A student is given warning if his
record is not low enough to incur probation. Students who have been warned
will be placed on probation at the next grading unless their work is satisfactory.
A student is placed on probation if his record is seriously unsatisfactory. Such
students will be in danger of dismissal unless their records show marked im-
provement. A student's connections with the University are severed if his record
is so unsatisfactory that the Administrative Committee considers him unable
to meet the academic requirements.
Dismissal or Exclusion
The University reserves the right to dismiss or exclude at any time students
whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable, and without
assigning any further reason therefor; neither the University nor any of its
trustees or officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for its exclusion.
Requirements for the Degree
The Brandeis curriculum is based on a two-fold program — a general edu-
cation curriculum and a coherent program of study within a well defined field
of concentration. The general education curriculum requires the student to
participate in courses which are designed to provide a solid general foundation
[45]
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
of knowledge about our cultural heritage. Thus, in addition to concentrating
in an elected field, the student will be introduced to the major experiences of
cultural history and to those significant concepts and achievements of science
which should be the common possession of educated men and women.
All regularly matriculated students must complete the prescribed work in
the General Education Program. Freshmen will take Humanities 1, Social Sci-
ence 1, one course in the Physical Sciences, and, unless they pass the Proficiency
Examination, a half course in English Composition (la, laR, 2a, or 2aR). The
requirement in the Physical Sciences may be met by the completion of one
course selected from Physical Science 1, Physics 10, Physics 11, Chemistry 10.
(Students who are planning to select a scientific field of concentration should
not elect Physical Science 1.) See Page 43 for permission to take a sixth course.
During their sophomore and junior years, each student will take a further
full course (or the equivalent) which counts towards general education credit,
in each of the three Schools other than the School responsible for his field of
concentration. Only the following courses may be selected to meet this re-
quirement.
School of Humanities
One full course or two half courses selected from the following:
Humanities 2
Any course in English below 90 except English la
Any course in Comparative Literature with the consent of the instructor
Any course in a foreign literature above 10

Concentration Requirement
All matriculated students must pursue and complete work in one field of
concentration, in accordance with regulations established by the School having
jurisdiction over the program selected. Students must choose their field of con-
centration at the end of the freshman year. The requirements for the various
fields of concentration are described in the section which follows.
English Composition Requirement
Proficiency in written expression in English is required. This require-
ment may be met by one term of English Composition, English Composition
la, IaR, 2a, 2aR, or by passing a Proficiency Examination in English Com-
position which will be administered during Orientation Week of the fresh-
man year. Students who are not exempt may, if necessary, postpone the half
course in Composition to the sophomore year only with permission of the
Administrative Committee.
Foreign Language Requirement
The foreign language requirement for a degree is to be met by all students
within three years of matriculation through the satisfactory completion of
Language 10 or its equivalent. The foreign language requirement may be met
by passing a proficiency test. Failure to meet the foreign language requirement
within the stipulated period may cause the student to be placed on probation.
Physical Education Requirement
All matriculated students must satisfactorily complete the required work in
Physical Education during the first year of attendance unless exempted from
this requirement for medical reasons upon the recommendation of the Univer-
sity Health Office and with the approval of the Administrative Committee.
Courses Open to Freshmen
Freshmen will take Humanities 1; Social Science 1; one course selected
from the following: Physical Science 1, Physics 10, Physics 11, Chemistry 10,
a foreign language or literature (requirement may be satisfied by passing the
proficiency test at the beginning of the Fall semester); English Composition 1
(unless exempted) and one elective. Future science concentrators should elect
a science course and mathematics in the freshman year. All students interested
in science may elect a science course in place of Physical Science 1 whether
[47]
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
they intend to concentrate in science or not. Future science concentrators who
wish to elect two science courses in addition to mathematics in the freshman
year may petition the Administrative Committee for permission to postpone
either Humanities 1 or Social Science 1 until the sophomore year. Such peti-
tions must be signed by the instructor in charge of Humanities 1 or Social
Science 1.
In general, students are urged to use their elective course for the purpose of
exploring their future field of concentration. Students will choose their field
of concentration at the end of the freshman year in accordance with the regu-
lations established by the School having jurisdiction over the program selected.
Before making this decision the student should carefully review the information
presented elsewhere in this catalog on Academic Requirements and Fields of
Concentration. More detailed information on the specific courses listed below
as regularly open to freshmen can be obtained by consulting the section on
Courses of Instruction.

THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
G. The Fields of Concentration
The requirements for a Bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Sci-
ences include the completion of a definite field of concentration. Before the
end of the freshman year, each student will choose a provisional field of con-
centration after consultation with a faculty adviser. Plans for concentration
should become definite during the sophomore year and must be approved by
a faculty adviser of the appropriate School. An entering student who has reached
a tentative decision as to his future field of interest should elect the basic in-
troductory course in this area in his freshman year and cover more of the
groundwork in the elective courses of the sophomore year.
The Liberal Arts Approach
The liberal arts approach characterizes the Brandeis curriculum and the
student must not expect to find patterns of courses conceived with specific
vocational goals in mind. At Brandeis the student may obtain a broad and
sound education in liberal arts and sciences Which will prepare him for further
study in specific professional and vocational fields at the graduate level.
On the premise that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for
professional training, the College of Arts and Sciences does not recommend
highly specialized courses for pre-professional students. The liberal arts ex-
perience can simultaneously provide the student with a broad foundation of
culture and with specific knowledge. For example, the prospective civil engi-
neer can obtain a liberal education while establishing a sound foundation in
physics and mathematics. The student interested in a business career has much
to gain from concentrating in economics. The prospective journalist or lawyer
will profit from the rich background of literature, creative writing, history, or
political science. Candidates for teaching positions in primary and secondary
schools can obtain a competency in a subject area while gaining additional
insight from work in psychology. Many of the fields should qualify students to
take Civil Service examinations for junior positions in governmental work.
The work in the undergraduate science programs is comparable to the technical
level of instruction offered by other liberal arts colleges.
Fields for the Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Pre-Engineering, and Other
Pre-Professional Students
The Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical
Association has established, as a minimum educational requirement for students
entering medical schools, three years of college training for the average student,
[49]
THE FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION
and strongly recommends that pre-medical students take the full, four-year
college course. This Council and the Association of American Medical Col-
leges have also prescribed, in addition to English Composition and Literature
(at Brandeis, the English Composition and Humanities requirements are equiv-
alent), a set of minimum requirements for admission to an approved medical
school. These requirements include general and organic chemistry, physics,
and biology, and are readily met at Brandeis by the following courses: Biology
la and lb, Chemistry 10, Chemistry 32, and Physics 10 or 11. However, these
are minimum requirements, and many schools require more than the specified
minimum in certain areas. In order to ensure that such additional or special-
ized requirements can be met in proper sequence within a field of concentration,
pre-medical students should very early arrange their prospective college program
with their adviser. In evaluating candidates for admission, medical schools
attach some importance to recommendations by faculty committees before which
students generally appear in their junior year. Potential candidates are there-
fore advised to arrange their schedule wherever possible so that they have taken
or are in the process of taking the four courses generally required as listed
above, at the time they appear before the Brandeis Committee on Recommenda-
tions to Graduate and Professional Schools. In addition to specific course re-
quirements, most medical schools advocate a broad liberal arts education.
The medical schools do not advocate any specific field of concentration in
an undergraduate curriculum, and the field of concentration is not a determin-
ing factor in admission to medical schools so long as the specific course require-
ments of that medical school are met. While most pre-medical students con-
centrate in chemistry, biology, or general science because of the specific addi-
tional requirements in chemistry and biology of some medical schools, concen-
tration in the fields of humanities, social sciences or creative arts allows ample
electives to satisfy the requirements of most medical schools.
The above generalizations apply in large part to the pre-dental student as
well as to those planning careers as veterinarians, medical technicians and related
fields. Medical schools and dental schools require an aptitude examination,
ordinarily taken by the student in the Spring of his junior year.
Pre-Engineering
The University has arrangements with the Carnegie Institute of Technology
(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts), and the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena,
California) for the benefit of students who wish to combine, a liberal arts
course with education in engineering, science or management. By first com-
pleting three years of work at Brandeis and then two years at Carnegie, M.I.T.,
or California Institute of Technology, a student may meet the requirements for
a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandeis and a Bachelor of Science degree from
Carnegie, M.I.T., or California Institute of Technology. In order to qualify for
the combined plan, a student must have a B average or better during his first
three years at Brandeis, fulfill the General Education requirements at Brandeis,
and include certain prescribed courses in his program.
[50]
THE FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION
The following courses must be taken at Brandeis by students wishing to
be included in the 3-2 plan with the California Institute of Technology: Mathe^
matics 13a, 14b, 23a, 25b; Chemistry 10; Physics 11, 21, 23a, 29c; Biology la,
lb; Economics la, lb; American History 1; English 3a and English 5b or 6b or
7a (which may be counted toward the second level General Education require-
ment in Humanities).
Students wishing to qualify for the 3-2 Plan with the Carnegie Institute of
Technology are required to complete the same science courses as above. In
addition, they must take Physics 24a, Physics 25c, Economics la, lb, and
Psychology la or b.
Preparation far Teaching
While the University does not offer a field of concentration in Education,
it does offer several courses which help meet the teacher certification require-
ments of individual states. Students interested in preparing for careers as
teachers in primary and secondary schools should inform themselves concern-
ing the certification requirements of the state in which they plan to seek
employment and should consult the Educational Adviser.
The courses described elsewhere in the catalogue which help meet teacher
certification requirements are as follows:
Education 10c — Practice Teaching
Philosophy 43b — Philosophy of Education
Psychology 1 11a — Introduction to Statistics
Psychology 15a — Child Development
Psychology 30b — Educational Psychology
Psychology 11 6a — Advanced Child Psychology
Psychology 121b — Tests and Measurements
Social Science 20a — History of Education
Many students are able to meet certification requirements during their four
regular undergraduate years at Brandeis by attending one six-weeks' summer
school session.
Junior Year in France
Brandeis University participates in the Sweet Briar College Junior Year in
France. Under this plan qualified students from colleges and universities in the
United States spend their junior year in France pursuing a course of studies
at the University of Paris. The group is under the supervision of Sweet Briar
College (Sweet Briar, Virginia), which arranges round-trip travel, board and
room in French homes, sightseeing trips, enrollment in courses, and guidance
and supplementary instruction by a staff of native-born instructors. Upon satis-
factory completion of their academic work, the members of the group are
granted 30 hours American college credit, which is accepted by the colleges
and universities participating in the plan, and return to their original institution
with senior status.
[51]
THE FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION
For the present, Brandeis is limiting participation to two students, chosen
on a competitive basis. Minimum requirements are (1) at least two years of
pre-college French, (2) two years of college French (normally French 3a, 3b
and 10), both passed with a grade of B or higher, or the equivalent, and (3)
an academic average of at least C plus in all other work.
Senior Thesis
The senior thesis, upon which the degree with honors may in part be
based, must be submitted to the department or committee administering the
degree before May 1st.

Requirements for Ordinary and Honors Degrees
Concentrators in the several fields administered by the School of Humanities
are required to present a minimum program of seven full courses. Each of these
fields has designated certain courses as specific requirements for concentration.
Candidates for honors may include in their seven courses the course 99c required
for a degree with honors in their field. This course is available only in the
senior year. The balance of the seven full courses is to be selected from the
approved list of elective courses establishd for the respective fields.
To be eligible for honors work a candidate, at the end of the junior year,
must have obtained a grade of B or better in all courses taken for concentration
and an average of C or better in all other subjects. He must also have the
approval of the School Council. At the beginning of the senior year, the can-
didate will enroll in the appropriate course under the guidance of one of the
senior teachers in that area of his field of concentration in which the student
desires to work. Consultations between instructor and student will continue
throughout the academic year. A paper of no less than 7500 words, representing
the results of intensive study, will constitute the final requirement.
[53]
THE FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION
THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE
The School of Science provides the student with the basic scientific training
which will qualify him for entry into graduate school or for work at an inter-
mediate level in a chosen scientific field. The programs in the fields of con-
centration in Science require the student to devote approximately one-half of
his time to courses offered by the School of Science. The student is encouraged
to take such courses outside the School of Science as will best broaden and
further his intellectual growth.
To be eligible for honors work, a candidate, at the end of the junior year,
must have obtained an average of B or better in all courses taken for concen-
tration and an average of C or better in all other subjects. He must also have
the approval of the School Council. Students who are candidates for degrees
with honors in the various programs administered by the School of Science
may be required to take course 99 in their respective fields of concentration.
Brandeis University has been placed on the list of approved schools of the
American Chemical Society. Students who fulfill the requirements for concen-
tration in Chemistry (Pages 96-99) will also fulfill the minimum requirements
for professional training adopted by the American Chemical Society.
Students majoring in Science are urged to elect German or French to fulfill
their language requirements. Students concentrating in Chemistry, who wish
their curriculum to meet the standards of the American Chemical Society, are
required to pass a course in German or to pass a German language examination.

Requirements for Ordinary and Honors Degrees
The minimum program for non-honors candidates in any regular or special
field of concentration is defined in the requirements established for the several
fields. The designated requirement in each field of concentration includes a
half -course of tutorial work (97c).
Students in the School of Social Science who are candidates for degrees with
honors will, in addition to the designated requirements for the several fields,
enroll also in senior research (99). Candidates for honors must have the
approval of the School Council.
All candidates in the various fields of concentration are expected to complete
their program by electing the necessary courses from the list of elective courses
which have been prepared for each field. However, it should be noted that,
with approval, concentrators may also include in their elective program the
equivalent of any one full course from the offerings of the School of Social
Science, except Social Science 1.
Although various aspects and approaches may be given special emphasis,
it is believed that the study and analysis of society and social phenomena should
be regarded as an undertaking containing many facets. It is for this reason that
the courses of instruction offered in the School of Social Science have been
designed to fit into more than one program of concentration and that special
attention has been given to the comparative approach.

Procedure for Admission to Concentration
All candidates are expected to apply for concentration through designated
faculty representatives in the various fields. Candidates should arrange for
interviews with these representatives at which they can present evidence of
capacity to pursue programs of concentration successfully. In the field of Music
there are specific performance and sight-reading requirements listed below
under Music.
Requirements for Ordinary and Honors Degrees
At least seven courses are required for each field, with the additional require-
ment of the approximate 99c course for honors candidates. Candidates for

IV
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
A. General Information
Objectives
The underlying ideal of the Graduate School is to assemble a community
of scholars, scientists and artists, in whose company the student-scholar can
pursue studies and research as an apprentice. This objective is to be attained by
individualizing programs of study, restricting the number of students accepted,
maintaining continual contact between student sand faculty, and fostering the
intellectual potential of each student.
Degrees will be granted upon the evidence of intellectual growth and
development, rather than solely on the basis of formal course credits. Fulfillment
of the minimum requirements set forth below cannot, therefore, be regarded as
the sole requisite for degrees.
Areas of Graduate Study
During the academic year 1957-1958, graduate programs will be offered in
the following areas:
1. Biochemistry
2. Biology
3. Chemistry
4. English and American Literature
5. History of Ideas
6. Mathematics
7. Music
8. Near Eastern and Judaic Studies
9- Physics
10. Psychology
Details of the programs offered in these areas are given below. Specific
course content will be found in Section V of the catalog.
In succeeding years, the program will be extended to cover other areas.
Admission
As a general rule only those men and women who have completed the
normal four-year program leading to the Bachelor's degree with distinction will
be considered for admission to the Graduate School. Graduates of foreign
schools who have completed the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree program
may apply, describing the educational program they have completed.
[57]
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Applicants for admission to the graduate area in Psychology are required
to take the Miller Analogies Test and the Graduate Record Examination, in-
cluding the Aptitude Test portion and preferably one Advanced Test in a field
related to the proposed area of graduate study. Others are advised to take the
examination. Information concerning the Graduate Record Examination is
available from the Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton,
New Jersey, or P.O. Box 27896, Los Angeles 27, California. Testing dates are
November 16, 1957, January 18, April 26 and July 12, 1958. Applications for
these dates close on November 1, 1957, January 3, April 11, and June 27, 1958.
Specific requirements established by each area of study are to be found
below. Each applicant should consult these requirements prior to filing an
application.
Application Procedure
Applicants who wish to enter the Graduate School should write to the Grad-
uate School of Arts and Sciences, stating which Area of Studies they intend
to pursue.
An Application for Admission and catalog will be forwarded to the appli-
cant who should return the completed form at once. The closing date for
receipt of applications is May 15 although exceptions may be granted. (It
should be noted that the closing date for fellowship applications is April 1.
See "Financial Aid," page 60.)
The applicant is also required (1) to arrange for the forwarding of an
official transcript of his undergraduate and any graduate records and (2) to have
forwarded two letters of recommendation, preferably from professors under
whom the applicant has studied in the field of his proposed Area of Studies.
Where necessary, other materials or information will be requested.
Decisions on admission will be made not later than June 15.
Part-Time Students
Applications will be considered for part-time resident study. Such appli-
cants should file with their applications for admission a statement explaining
why full-time residence is not possible, and how rapidly they propose to com-
plete their work.
Special Students
On occasion, properly qualified persons who wish to take courses without
working for a degree will be accepted. Formal application must be filed and
include a statement that admission as a special student is requested.
Fees
The annual tuition fee for full-time students in the Graduate School is
$1,000. This fee is payable in two installments, one-half at registration in
[58]
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
September, and the remainder at the beginning of the second semester. Pay-
ment received after the specified due dates will be subject to a penalty charge
of $10.
Tuition fees for special and part-time students will be at the rate of $125
per course per semester. These fees are payable at registration for each semester.
Graduate students may elect to participate in the University student health
program (see section under "Health") by paying a fee of $40 at registration
at the beginning of the academic year. Information about the program may
be obtained from the Health Office.
Graduate students are entitled to one formal transcript of their academic
record without cost. A charge of $1 will be made for all subsequent transcripts.
A fee of $10 per year is payable by non-resident students who are not using
the facilities of Brandeis University during the period in which they are pre-
paring their Master's thesis or Doctoral dissertation. An additional fee of $100
is payable by Ph.D. candidates in this category in the year the dissertation is
accepted.
A course fee of $200 per year is payable by students who have completed
their residence requirements and are using the facilities of the University dur-
ing the period in which they are preparing their Master's thesis or Doctoral
dissertation.
All candidates for graduate degrees are charged a $10 Graduation and
Diploma fee which is payable no later than June 1.
Report of grades or transcript of records will be issued to students only
after financial obligations to the University have been discharged.
No refund of the tuition fee will be made because of absence, illness or
dismissal during the academic year. If a student withdraws from the University
within 30 days of the beginning of classes, he may petition the Comptroller
for partial refund of tuition. A refund may be denied without any reason for
such denial being stated.
Auditing Courses
The privilege of auditing courses without fee is extended to regularly
enrolled full-time graduate students. The courses may be on either the graduate
or undergraduate level. Students taking less than full-time work may audit
courses by paying for them at the same rate as though they were taken for
credit. Students desiring to avail themselves of auditing privileges may make
the necessary arrangements through the Graduate School Office, and must then
secure the permission of the course instructor.
Housing
The University does not offer graduate housing facilities. The Housing
Office, however, attempts to serve as a clearing house for rooms and apartments
available in Waltham and nearby Greater Boston communities,
[59]
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Dining Facilities
Graduate students may sign for the twenty-one meal contract or the fifteen
meal contract in either the Castle Dining Hall or the Student Center Dining
Hall. Arrangements must be made with the Steward's Office. Individual meals
may be purchased at either dining hall. Light snacks are served at the Bee-Hive
snack bar.
Health
Payment of the optional medical fee entitles graduate students to utilize the
facilities of the Health Office and to participate in the benefits of the Uni-
versity health insurance program.
The health insurance program helps defray expenses during the academic
year for treatment beyond the scope of the Health Office. A brochure outlining
the details of this program may be obtained at the Health Office. It should be
noted here, however, that coverage is not provided for pre-existing conditions,
extraordinary cases, psychiatric cases, optical and dental services, or special
materials.
Within the limitations of the insurance coverage, fees of outside doctors
and hospitals will be processed for payment only when consultations or hospi-
talization have been authorized by the University Health Office in advance on
a form provided for this purpose. The University is not responsible for off-
campus medical and hospital care sought by students or their parents on their
own initiative. Students are urgently requested to read the Health Office
pamphlet with great care.
Every student is required to complete a Health Questionnaire (which is
mailed by the University) before admission to the University. In addition, a
health examination by the University physician must be taken at the appointed
time early in the academic year of admission. Failure to meet this appointment
will result in a fine of $5.
Financial Aid
To help students of promise, awards and work opportunities are available.
These are granted on a competitive basis, the amount of the stipend depending
upon the financial need of the applicant. For consideration, it is necessary to
file the Application for Graduate Fellowship or Teaching Assistants hip, each
year, on or before April 1. In exceptional instances applications submitted at
a later date may be given consideration.
The following opportunities are available:
Scholarships:
Part or full tuition scholarships are available.
Graduate Fellowships:
Graduate fellowships carry stipends up to $2,000 in addition to tuition.
Teaching Fellowships:
Benefactors of the University have established Teaching Fellowships
to enable graduate students to gain teaching experience while continuing

Interested applicants should address the Dean of Students.
Employment:
On occasion the University offers part-time employment to specially
trained personnel. Inquiries should be addressed to the Personnel Office
of the University.
Academic Regulations
Ordinarily, a full-time resident student will register for a number of courses
per academic year, as may be determined by the Area Chairman. Each course
meeting 3 hours per week grants 3 credits per semester.
Registration:
Every graduate student, whether full-time or part-time, must register
with the Graduate School Office at the beginning of each term of his
enrollment, during the period announced for such registration. A study
card must be filed not later than the first day of classes, and must have
the approval of the Area Chairman. A fee of $10 will be charged for
registration not completed at the time specified.
All graduate students must give their local address at the time of regis-
tration and must keep the Graduate School Office informed of any
changes in the address.
Course Standards:
Graduate students will be expected to maintain records of distinction
in all courses.
Withdrawal from the University:
Students who withdraw from the University in the course of or at the
end of an academic year are required to give written notice immediately
to the Graduate School Office, and, in order to resume studies, must apply
for readmission. Transcripts of records will not be issued until clearance
has been obtained from all appropriate departments.
Dismissal or Exclusion:
The University reserves the right to dismiss or exclude at any time
students whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable,
and without assigning any further reason therefor; neither the Uni-
versity nor any of its trustees or officers shall be under any liability
whatsoever for its exclusion.
[61]
Degree Requirements
The following general requirements apply to the awarding of degrees. For
the specific requirements of each Area of Study, candidates should consult the
appropriate section of this catalog.
Master's Degree
In order to qualify for a Master's degree, the candidate must complete the

[63]
B. Areas of Graduate Studies
BIOCHEMISTRY
Professor Nathan O. Kaplan, Chairman
Objectives
The graduate program in Biochemistry leading to the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy is designed to equip the student with a broad understanding of
the chemistry involved in biological processes and to train him to carry out
independent original research. Although the student will be primarily responsi-
ble for a comprehensive understanding of biochemical phenomena, he will be
encouraged to acquaint himself with the disciplines of biology and chemistry.
Research and experimental projects rather than formal course training will be
emphasized. However, the student will be required to register for basic bio-
chemistry, biochemical techniques, intermediary metabolism, and biochemistry
seminars. The choice of advanced biochemistry courses and those of other
scientific disciplines (i.e., organic chemistry, genetics, embryology, etc)
are therefore subject to the particular interests of the student. The choice
of research programs should be in areas under investigation by the faculty:
some of these fields include intermediary metabolism in normal and also tumor
tissues, enzymology, immunochemistry, radiobiology, biochemical genetics, pro-
tein chemistry, plant and virus metabolism, problems in growth and differ-
entiation, photobiology, microbial metabolism, and organic biochemistry.
Admission
The general requirements for admission to the Graduate School, given in
an earlier section of the catalog, apply to candidates for admission to this Area
of Study. The student's undergraduate curriculum should include some funda-
mental courses in biology and chemistry which will be subject to final staff
approval.
Degree Requirements
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Admission to Candidacy
The qualifying examinations must be passed at a level considered satisfac-
tory for this degree. This usually takes place after the second year of graduate
work.
Program of Study
Each candidate for the Doctor's degree is required to complete satisfactorily:
1) The basic courses: Basic Biochemistry, Biochemical Techniques, Inter-
mediary Metabolism, Radiobiology, and at least five of the Biochemistry Sem-
inars. Other courses will be prescribed by the department and will be based on
the individual interest of the student.

BIOLOGY
Associate Professor Harold P. Klein, Chairman
Objectives
The graduate program in Biology is designed to give the student an under-
standing of the fundamental nature of living processes, and to train him to
undertake original research. All students are required to take a group of courses
which will acquaint them with the principles and techniques of differentiation,
genetics, microbiology, and physiology. Upon completion of this "core" cur-
riculum, the student will ordinarily select for more intensive study a research
field in which a facility member is doing active research. At present these
include endocrinology, microbial genetics, microbial physiology, radiobiology.
and virology.
The graduate program is planned primarily to train students at the doc-
torate level. At the discretion of the faculty, students who are not candidates
for the Ph.D. degree may be granted a Master of Arts degree upon completion
of a part of the required program.
Admission
The general requirements for admission to the Graduate School, given in
an earlier section of this catalog, apply to candidates for admission to this Area
of Study. The student's undergraduate record should, ordinarily, include
courses equivalent to those required of undergraduates concentrating in Biology
at this institution. Students who are deficient in some of these subjects, but
with otherwise superior records, may make up their deficiencies in Graduate
School. In exceptional cases, students may be excused from some of these
requirements. However, students with serious deficiencies must expect to be
required to spend extra time in Graduate School.
Degree Requirements
MASTER OF ARTS
The specific requirements for those candidates who wish to pursue a course
of study leading to this degree will be prescribed by a committee.
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Admission to Candidacy
The qualifying examination will be given in two parts — the first to be
completed after the student has taken all the required basic courses. This
[65]
AREAS OF GRADUATE STUDIES
should ordinarily be after about two years of graduate study. The second part,
emphasizing the field of specialization, should be completed before active thesis
work is initiated.
Program of Study
Each candidate is required to complete satisfactorily:
1) The bask courses: Biochemistry 100b, 101; Biology 101a and b, 102a,
103b, 105b.
2) Not less than nine additional semester hours of courses in Biology
numbered 100-290, the specific course sequence to be prescribed.
3) Additional seminar and research courses to be designated.
Thesis
Each student will conduct an original investigation. The subject of research
must be approved by a committee and the professor under whose guidance the
candidate works. In general, the student will be expected to choose a problem
in the field of study in which one of the faculty is himself doing active research.
After submission of the thesis, the candidate will be expected to present
the principal results of his work and its significance during an examination
in defense of his thesis.
Language
A reading knowledge of French and German is required.
CHEMISTRY
Objectives
The graduate program in Chemistry is designed to lead to a broad under-
standing of this subject. All students will be required to demonstrate, knowl-
edge in advanced modern areas of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry.

endeavor and the acquisition of deeper insight into the nature and esthetic
basis of music and the historical development of musical styles and techniques.
Two general fields of study are offered in Music:
[72]
AREAS OF GRADUATE STUDIES
1) Musical Composition
This program leads to the degree of Master of Fine Arts, which
is regarded as terminal for composers, who at this point should be
able to embark upon a professional career.
2) Music History, Analysis and Criticism
This program leads to the degrees of Master of Fine Arts and Doctor
of Philosophy. Students may specialize in one of these three cate-
gories, but are expected to acquire a background in all three.
Admission
Only a limited number of students will be accepted. The general require-
ments for admission to the Graduate School, as specified in an earlier section
of this catalog, apply to candidates for admission to this Area of Study.
Applicants for study in Musical Composition will be required to submit,
in addition to a transcript of their undergraduate records, evidence of qualifica-
tion in the form of examples of advanced work in musical theory and original
work in musical composition. This work should be submitted together with
the formal Application for Admission.
Candidates for admission to the Composition program are expected to be
proficient at the piano or on some orchestral instrument possessing a standard
solo repertoire. Such students should furnish information about this when
making formal application.
Degree Requirements
Language
Group A: French, German, Italian
Group B: Spanish, Latin, Hebrew, Greek (and other languages at the
discretion of the Music faculty).
A reading knowledge of a language from Group A is normally required
of all applicants for admission to a graduate program in Music.
Candidates for the Master's degree specializing in Musical Composition
must possess a reading knowledge of two of the above languages, of which at
least one must be from Group A. (The combination of Italian and Spanish
will not be approved. )
Candidates for the Master's degree specializing in Music History, Analysis
and Criticism must possess a reading knowledge of two languages in Group A.
Candidates for the Doctor's degree in Music must possess a reading knowl-
edge of all three languages in Group A. (In exceptional cases, the Music faculty
may accept a language in Group B in lieu of Italian.)
[73]
AREAS OF GRADUATE STUDIES
Foreign language course credits will not in themselves constitute fulfillment
of the language requirements for advanced degrees. All candidates must pass
language examinations set by the Music faculty and offered periodically during
the academic year. Students are urged to take these examinations at the earliest
feasible date. In case of failure, an examination may be taken more than once.
The language examinations are designed to test the students' ability to make
ready and accurate use of critical and literary works. Normally each examina-
tion will contain three passages for written translation into idiomatic English:
(1) classical or modern prose; (2) classical or modern poetry, often poetry that
has been set to music; and ( 3 ) critical prose dealing with music. Dictionaries
may be used in these examinations.
Instrumental Proficiency
At least moderate proficiency at the piano is required of all candidates for
advanced degrees.
Residence
For the degree of Master of Fine Arts:
Thirty-six semester hours of work at the graduate level completed with
distinction and a thesis are required of all candidates (one course meeting
three times a week for two semesters is counted for six hours' credit ) .
Applicants who have done graduate or advanced work elsewhere may apply
for credit for such work. Under any circumstances a minimum residence of
one year's work at the graduate level is required.
In general, the program should be completed in two academic years. Stu-
dents should take no more than four courses in any one year. It is suggested,
however, that students pursue no more than three courses during the year in
which they take general examinations and submit a thesis. Those students
holding teaching fellowships may reduce their load to two courses.
For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy:
A minimum of forty-eight semester hours of work at the graduate level
completed with distinction is required of all candidates.
In general, the program may be completed in three academic years.
Applicants who have done graduate or advanced work elsewhere may apply
for credit for such work.
General Examinations
Candidates for the degree of Master of Fine Arts will be expected to pass
with distinction a General Examination in musical theory, history, and style
at the time of the completion of their program of study.
Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy will be expected to pass
with distinction a special examination after meeting their language and resi-
dence requirements. They will also be expected, after completion of their dis-
sertation, to defend it in an oral examination.
