Rhetoric 1 and I
1937-1938
Rhetoric 1 and 2 are intended to teach the student to
express himself with clearness and force. While at the Univer-
sity, he is required to write reports and examinations for vari-
ous courses in almost all departments. Rhetoric 1 and 2 should
assist him to write these reports and examinations correctly
and weH. They also should assist him to express himself ade-
quately in the practical affairs of life after he leaves the Uni-
versity. Clear and accurate expression helps one to transform
knowledge into power.
Objectives of Rhetoric 1
1. Correctness in the mechanics of writing. See RPB,1 Chap. II
on the manuscript; Chap. Ill on fundamentals; Chap. IV
on spelling (including hyphenation, syllabication, and the use
of apostrophes) ; Chap. V on capitalization, italics, abbrevia-
tions, etc.; Chaps. VI and VII on correct forms of pronoun
and verb; and Chap. XIII on punctuation.
2. Exact and concrete use of words. See RPB, pp. 42-52. on the
uses of the dictionary; Chap. XVI on diction; and Quiller-
Couch, On Jargon, in LS.2 pp. 219-233.
3. Effective sentence construction. See RPB, Chap. XII on the
elements of the sentence; Chap. XIV on logical relationships;
and Chap. XV on shaping the sentence. See also the Sug-
gestions for Study in LS, pp. 782-806.
4. Effective paragraphing. See RPB, Chap. XI, and Suggestions
for Study in LS, pp. 757-778.
5. Proficiency in analysis and outlining. See RPB 142-161. The
essays in LS will provide models of various kinds.
6. Clarity and interest in expository writing. There will be
frequent short essays of 350-600 words. The following points
will be emphasized: (a) sources for finding ideas (See Chap.
1. Freshman Rhetoric and Practice Book.
2. Literary Studies for Rhetoric Classes.
I of RPB and Suggestions for Study in LS) ; (b) practice
in the methods of exposition such as definition, illustration,
comparison, repetition, etc. (See RPB, pp. 119-142); (c)
practice in organizing the composition as a whole about a
dominant thesis or idea (See RPB. 142-161). For expository
writing in general, see Suggestions for Study pertaining to
the first three groups of selections in Part I of LS.
Objectives of Rhetoric 2
1. Greater attainments than in Rhetoric 1 in mechanical cor-
rectness, diction, sentence construction, paragraphing,
analysis, and expository writing. Rhetoric 2 is designed to
enable the student to maintain his gains and to advance.
2. Use of the Library. See RPB, Chap. X, for a discussion of
the main works of reference and their use.
3. Analysis of premises and chains of reasoning. See RPB,
Chap. XVIII, and the models in LS, Part II.
4. The writing of longer expository essays (1200-1500 words ). in
addition to frequent short themes. Practice is given in organiz-
ing material of the length of term reports and short articles,
and also in writing description and narration, particularly as
these two types of discourse are serviceable in exposition.
Flexibility in the presentation of ideas is emphasized.

Directions for Preparing Manuscript
Write on theme paper, one side only, with ink, and get
clearly legible results.
If themes are typed, unruled white paper, sy2 x 11, of medium
weight should be used, and lines should be double-spaced; thin
or flimsy paper will not be accepted.
Write the title of each theme at the top of the first page,
beginning on the first ruled line, and capitalize the first letter
4
of each important word. Leave a space equivalent to one blank
line between the title and the beginning of the theme.
Leave a margin of about one and a half inches at the left
side of each page. Do not crowd the right side of the page.
Indent the first line of each paragraph about an inch.
Number the pages of every theme over two pages in length.
Draw a horizontal line through words to be disregarded by
the reader; do not enclose them in brackets or parentheses.
Fold themes once, lengthwise to the left, and endorse them
on the back of the right flap near the top on the lines provided
for that purpose.
Each endorsement must give, in the following order:
1. Name of course and number of section (Rhetoric 1, Al,
for instance) ; 2. name of student (last name first) ; 3. date on
which theme is due; 4. theme number in Arabic numerals. The
correct form is given below:
Rhetoric 1, Al
Smith, James
September 24, 1937
Theme 1
Directions for Handing in Themes
Late themes will not be accepted by the instructor except by
special arrangement. Unless the student is ill, this arrangement
should preferably be made in advance. Delayed themes may not
be made up at the rate of more than two a week, and will not
be accepted within the last two weeks prior to examinations.
No one who is delinquent in more than one-eighth of the
written work of the semester will be given credit in the course.
Themes are to be revised in red ink and returned to the in-
structor at the next meeting of the class after they are received
by the student. The student should mark the theme "Revised'
in red ink just below the grade or criticism on the back.
Themes should not be rewritten unless the instructor so
directs. When a theme is rewritten, the new copy should be
endorsed like the original as to number and date, should be
marked in red ink "Rewritten" just below the endorsement, and
both the original and the rewritten copies, folded separately,
should be returned to the instructor.
Credit is not given for themes until they are returned in
revised or rewritten form for filing.
Students should make copies of papers they wish to preserve,
as themes are kept on file in the theme room until the close of
the year and then destroyed.

Honesty in Written Work
Although most students are honest, a frank discussion of dis-
honest writing will be helpful for those persons who might in-
nocently or unthinkingly step beyond proper bounds. Literary
theft is known as plagiarism and consists in representing as
one's own, ideas or statements which belong to another. Plagiar-
ism is always a serious offense. Dishonesty in written work will
be promptly reported to the faculty committee on discipline. Stu-
dents are therefore cautioned against — -
1. Literally repeating, without acknowledgment, phrases,
sentences, or larger units of discourse from another
writer or from one's own previous composition.
2. The use of another's main headings or of a general plan,
or the expansion of a synopsis of another's work.
3. Permitting one's work to be copied, in whole or in part.
(Students who permit their work to be copied are subject
to disciplinary action.)
A literary debt may be acknowledged by incidental reference
to the source, either (a) by means of a phrase in the text, or
(b) by use of a footnote.
Value of Grades
As nearly as possible, a fixed standard of grades is maintained
throughout each semester. Thus, a theme written in September
is held to the same requirements as a theme written in January.
Students who acquaint themselves with the objectives of the
course and who strive to attain them are likely to experience
a definite improvement in their grades as the semester advances.
The standard is higher in the second semester than in the first.
In general, Rhetoric 2 is as much beyond the Rhetoric 1 level
as Rhetoric 1 is beyond the high school level, with a correspond-
ing change in the value of grades.
Theme grades range from A to E in accordance with the
following explanations. Plus and minus signs attached to grades
are often temporarily helpful, but signify nothing in the final
record. Students should ask their instructors to explain grades
and comments not clearly understood.
A: A theme is graded A if it is of exceptional merit in form
and content. Excellence of any kind — freshness of treat-
ment, interest, originality in thought — will be given due
recognition, but it must, in this course, be accompanied by
accuracy and soundness in detail of structure. The in-
structor is quite as anxious to read interesting or brilliant
themes as the student is to write them.
6
B: A theme definitely better than the average in form and con-
tent, but not of the highest excellence, is graded B. The
grade indicates that the instructor is very favorably im-
pressed.
C: C is the average grade. A theme graded C is mechanically
accurate, offers some variety of sentence construction and
effectiveness of diction, is satisfactorily paragraphed, is sat-
isfactorily organized as a whole, and is at least fair in
content.
D: D indicates the lowest quality of work for which credit is
given. It is an unsatisfactory grade and often indicates a
grave doubt in the mind of the instructor. It is therefore
a danger sign.
E: A grade of E means work too inferior for credit. Errors to
be specially guarded against are listed below. Students are
cautioned against repeating errors in successive themes.
Faults in the details of writing:
Misspelled words
Incomplete sentences (Pf, "period fault")
Commas between sentences (Cf, "comma fault")
Sentences with violent changes in construction (Cst)
Straggling sentences (Co f, "coordination fault")
Unclear or illogical sentences or diction (Cl or Log)
Bad errors in grammar
Faults in form and content:
Carelessness in the preparation of manuscript
A marked failure to paragraph properly
Straying from the subject
A marked lack of coherence
Inadequacy of content
Conferences
Two or more conferences will be held with each student in
each semester. Students are urged to seek additional or special
conferences with their instructors whenever in need of advice.
Conference appointments are a regular part of the course; ab-
sence from them is regarded as a serious delinquency.
Spelling Test
The student's proficiency in spelling will be determined by
his themes and, in addition, by a special spelling test (or tests)
based on the chapter on Spelling in his rhetoric text. In this test
the student is expected to make a grade of at least ninety per
cent. This statement does not mean that if a student makes a
grade, let us say, of eighty-eight per cent, he will fail in the
course. In general, however, illiterate spelling is regarded as a
sufficient cause for failure. A low grade in the test and poor
spelling in themes are therefore to be guarded against.
Proficiency and Special Examinations
At the beginning of semesters, in the weeks preceding regis-
tration for upper classmen, proficiency examinations in Fresh-
man Rhetoric will be offered by the English Department. Stu-
dents who are successful in the Rhetoric 1 examination will be
released from Rhetoric 1 with three hours of credit. Likewise,
students will be released from Rhetoric 2 with three hours of
credit by passing a Rhetoric 2 examination. The grades in pro-
ficiency examinations are "pass" and "not pass," although success-
ful students must receive a grade of C or better. Students who
prepare for these examinations should note that the proficiency
examinations in Rhetoric 1 and 2 will be equivalent to those
given at the end of the semester in the respective courses. Ac-
cording to a University ruling, a proficiency examination may
not be taken to remove a failure in a course.
A failure ordinarily may be made up only by repeating the
course. Special examinations will not be given to make up fail-
ure to write passable themes or to hand in the required number
of themes.
Green Caldron
The Green Caldron is a magazine in which appear some of
the themes written by students in Rhetoric 1 and 2. A com-
mittee of the Rhetoric Staff makes the final selections from the
work chosen by individual instructors. The themes chosen are
not all A themes necessarily, but all are good, and each is
noteworthy as an illustration of at least one principle of suc-
cessful writing. Four issues appear during the year, and to each
issue at least one class recitation is devoted. Every student,
therefore, is expected to provide himself, at the times indicated
in the Calendar, with copies of the magazine. They may be ob-
tained at the Information Office in the Administration Building
(157 W.). Although the writing of poetry is not a part of the
regular program of Rhetoric 1 and 2, good verse will be wel-
comed for publication. Contributions of verse, or of prose vol-
untarily contributed, should be submitted to the instructor.
Supplementary Reading
One important aim of the course is to encourage good read-
ing. In the North Reserve Room of the University Library are
shelved all the books listed in the Manual on pages 44-67. The
8
books are new; and students, for their supplementary reading in
Rhetoric 1 and 2, are expected to use them and not the older
volumes in the stacks. In accordance with plans announced by
instructors, each student is asked to read at least six books,
three each semester. Books not on the list may be read if the
instructor approves.
The books may be taken out for one week, and only one
book at a time. The fine on overdue books is twenty-five cents
for the first hour and five cents for each additional hour until
the book is returned. Students who are in doubt about what
they desire to read may call for and examine two or three
different books. This means extra work for librarians, but they
kindly extend the privilege.
The Library
On the first floor of the Library Building, rooms of interest
to undergraduate students are the North Reserve Room and the
South Reserve Room. The Rhetoric Reserves, as previously
stated, are shelved in the North Reserve Room. On this floor,
also, is the Education, Psychology, and Philosophy Reading
Room containing books placed on reserve by instructors for out-
side reading in certain courses. All books in the Reserve Rooms,
except books for Rhetoric 1 and 2, are for use in the rooms
only, except that they may be taken home at 9 p. m. to be re-
turned at 9 a. m. the following morning.
On the second floor, are located the Main Reading Room in
the front of the Library, the Delivery and Card Catalog Room
extending west from the head of the stairs, the Browsing Corner,
and the Commerce and Sociology Reading Room.
In the Main Reading Room, important reference books such
as encyclopedias, dictionaries, periodical indexes, etc., as well as
current and bound periodicals of general interest, are placed.
The librarians at the Reference Desk in the Main Reading Room
assist students in finding needed information.
At the west end of the Delivery and Card Catalog Room, is
the Loan Department where books are delivered to readers for
home use. The average book is loaned for two weeks and
may be renewed for two weeks more, if not called for. General
reference books such as those in the Main Reading Room,
periodicals, and certain other publications are to be used only
in the reading room.
In the north half of the Delivery Room is the Card Catalog,
which is an index to the books in all the libraries on the campus
and is accessible for general use. Every book in the Library is
represented by a card in this index. In the upper left-hand
corner of the card is the call number, which is also on the book
itself. Books are arranged in the stacks according to their call
numbers. More detailed information about the Card Catalog
may be found in Chapter X of the Freshman Rhetoric and
Practice Book.
Opposite the Card Catalog in the same room, but parti-
tioned off, is a collection of books for leisure reading. This
section of the room is sometimes referred to as the Browsing
Corner.
How to Procure Books
If a student wishes to procure a book from the Library, he
should first obtain a call slip, to be found at the ends of the
tables near the Card Catalog. On this he should copy the call
number, the author's name, the title of the book, and the volume
number of works of more than one volume. The call slip should
then be presented at the Loan Desk at the west end of the room.
When the assistant brings the book from the stacks the student
signs the call slip, which is retained by the Library until the
book is returned. This information concerns the procuring of
books from the main part of the Library. It does not concern
the Rhetoric Reserves, where books are signed for on special
cards at the desk in the North Reserve Room on the first floo:\
If a person does not know how to find a book through the
Card Catalog, or if he does not know what books will give him
certain information, he should ask for assistance at the Refer-
ence Desk in the Main Reading Room.

QUO
If3t/3f Rhetoric 1 and 2
1938 - 1939
Rhetoric 1 and 2 are intended to teach the student to
express himself with clearness and force. While at the Univer-
sity, he is required to write reports and examinations for vari-
ous courses in almost all departments. Rhetoric 1 and 2 should
assist him to write these reports and examinations correctly
and well. They also should assist him to express himself ade-
quately in the practical affairs of life after he leaves the Uni-
versity.
Objectives of Rhetoric 1
In Rhetoric 1, the student should strive —
1. To improve in his ability to write exposition. To this end,
he will be asked, whenever he is assigned a subject, (a) to
find a significant thesis or main idea regarding it; (b) to
divide his exposition into its component parts; and
(c) to develop these parts by definition, by details, by
illustration, by comparison, or by other methods of exposi-
tion so that the thesis or main idea will be interestingly and
clearly presented. The finished exposition should show an
orderly and purposeful progression of thought. Themes will
be from 350 to 600 words in length, with a final longer
theme of about 1200 words.
2. To improve in his ability to use words, sentences, and para-
graphs— that is, (a) to use concrete words that exactly fit his
thought; (b) to write sentences that are clear and forceful;
and (c) to compose paragraphs that adequately develop a dis-
tinct phase of the subject. In Rhetoric 1, the student should
develop a critical sense which will enable him to detect
errors and illogicalities in his writing and to improve it
accordingly.
3. To improve in his ability to read expository prose — that is,
improve in his ability (a) to understand words; (b) to dis-
tinguish between main points and subordinate points; (c) to
see the relation of the parts to each other and to the whole;
and (d) to discover the main idea.
3
Objectives of Rhetoric 2
In Rhetoric 2, the student should strive —
1. To improve in his ability to write term reports and short
articles such as he is called upon to write in various depart-
ments of the University. To this end, he will be asked in
Rhetoric 2 to write, in addition to shorter themes, three
themes 1200 to 1500 words in length.
2. To acquire greater skill and force, than in Rhetoric 1. (a)
in using words; (b) in constructing sentences; (c) in com-
posing paragraphs; and (d) in organizing the composition
as a whole. Rhetoric 2 is to Rhetoric 1, as Rhetoric 1 is to
high school English composition.
3. To broaden his resources for obtaining information and to
improiie in his ability to evaluate prose. To these ends, he
(a) will be familiarized with the main works of reference
in the University Library and (b) will be asked to discover
underlying assumptions, both stated and unstated, and to
apply tests for evaluating the evidence used in the assigned
essays.

Directions for Preparing Manuscript
Write on theme paper, one side only, with ink, and get
clearly legible results.
If themes are typed, unruled white paper, SV2 x 11, of medium
weight should be used, and lines should be double-spaced; thin
or flimsy paper will not be accepted.
Write the title of each theme at the top of the first page,
beginning on the first ruled line, and capitalize the first letter
4
of each important word. Leave a space equivalent to one blank
line between the title and the beginning of the theme.
Leave a margin of about one and a half inches at the left
side of each page. Do not crowd the right side of the page.
Indent the first line of each paragraph about an inch.
Number the pages of every theme over two pages in length.
Draw a horizontal line through words to be disregarded by
the reader; do not enclose them in brackets or parentheses.
Fold themes once, lengthwise to the left, and endorse them
on the back of the right flap near the top on the lines provided
for that purpose.
Each endorsement must give, in the following order:
1. Name of course and number of section (Rhetoric 1, Al,
for instance); 2. name of student (last name first); 3. date on
which theme is due; 4. theme number in Arabic numerals. The
correct form is given below:
Rhetoric 1, Al
Smith, James
September 23, 1938
Theme 1
Directions for Handing in Themes
Late themes will not be accepted by the instructor except by
special arrangement. Unless the student is ill, this arrangement
should preferably be made in advance. Delayed themes may not
be made up at the rate of more than two a week, and will not
be accepted within the last two weeks prior to examinations.
No one who is delinquent in more than one-eighth of the
written work of the semester will be given credit in the course.
Themes are to be revised in red ink and returned to the in-
structor at the next meeting of the class after they are received
by the student. The student should mark the theme "Revised'
in red ink just below the grade or criticism on the back.
Themes should not be rewritten unless the instructor so
directs. When a theme is rewritten, the new copy should be
endorsed like the original as to number and dates and should be
marked in red ink "Rewritten" just below the endorsement, and
both the original and the rewritten copies, folded separately,
should be returned to the instructor.
Credit is not given for themes until they are returned in
revised or rewritten form for filing.
Students should make copies of papers they wish to preserve,
as themes are kept on file in the theme room until the close of
the year and then destroyed.

Honesty in Written Work
Although most students are honest, a frank discussion of dis-
honest writing will be helpful for those persons who might in-
nocently or unthinkingly step beyond proper bounds. Literary
theft is known as plagiarism and consists in representing as
one's own, ideas or statements which belong to another. Plagiar-
ism is always a serious offense. Dishonesty in written work will
be promptly reported to the faculty committee on discipline. Stu-
dents are therefore cautioned against —
1. Literally repeating, without acknowledgment, phrases,
sentences, or larger units of discourse from another
writer or from one's own previous composition.
2. The use of another's main headings or of a general plan,
or the expansion of a synopsis of another's work.
3. Permitting one's work to be copied, in whole or in part.
(Students who permit their work to be copied are subject
to disciplinary action.)
A literary debt may be acknowledged by incidental reference
to the source, either (a) by means of a phrase in the text, or
(b) by use of a footnote.
Value of Grades
As nearly as possible, a fixed standard of grades is maintained
throughout each semester. Thus, a theme written in September
is held to the same requirements as a theme written in January.
Students who acquaint themselves with the objectives of the
course and who strive to attain them are likely to experience
a definite improvement in their grades as the semester advances.
The standard is higher in the second semester than in the first.
In general, Rhetoric 2 is as much beyond the Rhetoric 1 level
as Rhetoric 1 is beyond the high school level, with a correspond-
ing change in the value of grades.
Theme grades range from A to E in accordance with the
following explanations. Plus and minus signs attached to grades
are often temporarily helpful, but signify nothing in the final
record. Students should ask their instructors to explain grades
and comments not clearly understood.
A: A theme is graded A if it is of exceptional merit in form
and content. Excellence of any kind — freshness of treat-
ment, interest, originality in thought — will be given due
recognition, but it must, in this course, be accompanied by
accuracy and soundness in detail of structure. The in-
structor is quite as anxious to read interesting or brilliant
themes as the student is to write them.
6
B: A theme definitely better than the average in form and con-
tent, but not of the highest excellence, is graded B. The
grade indicates that the instructor is very favorably im-
pressed.
C: C is the average grade. A theme graded C is mechanically
accurate, offers some variety of sentence construction and
effectiveness of diction, is satisfactorily paragraphed, is sat-
isfactorily organized as a whole, and is at least fair in
content.
D: D indicates the lowest quality of work for which credit is
given. It is an unsatisfactory grade and often indicates a
grave doubt in the mind of the instructor. It is therefore
a danger sign.
E: A grade of E means work too inferior for credit. Errors to
be specially guarded against are listed below. Students are
cautioned against repeating errors in successive themes.
Faults in the details of writing:
Misspelled words
Incomplete sentences
Commas between sentences
Sentences with violent changes in construction
Straggling sentences
Unclear or illogical sentences or diction
Bad errors in grammar
Faults in form and content:
Carelessness in the preparation of manuscript
A marked failure to paragraph properly
Straying from the subject
A marked lack of coherence
Inadequacy of content
Conferences
Two or more conferences will be held with each student in
each semester. Students are urged to seek additional or special
conferences with their instructors whenever in need of advice.
Conference appointments are a regular part of the course; ab-
sence from them is regarded as a serious delinquency.
Spelling Test
The student's proficiency in spelling will be determined by
his themes and, in addition, by a special spelling test (or tests)
based on the section on Spelling in his rhetoric text. In this test
the student is expected to make a grade of at least ninety per
cent. This statement does not mean that if a student makes a
7
grade, let us say, of eighty-eight per cent, he will fail in the
course. In general, however, illiterate spelling is regarded as a
sufficient cause for failure. A low grade in the test and poor
spelling in themes are therefore to be guarded against.
Proficiency and Special Examinations
At the beginning of semesters, in the weeks preceding regis-
tration for upper classmen, proficiency examinations in Fresh-
man Rhetoric will be offered by the English Department. Stu-
dents who are successful in the Rhetoric 1 examination will be
released from Rhetoric 1 with three hours of credit. Likewise,
students will be released from Rhetoric 2 with three hours of
credit by passing a Rhetoric 2 examination. The grades in pro-
ficiency examinations are "pass" and "not pass," although success-
ful students must receive a grade of C or better. Students who
prepare for these examinations should note that the proficiency
examinations in Rhetoric 1 and 2 will be equivalent to those
given at the end of the semester in the respective courses. Ac-
cording to a University ruling, a proficiency examination may
not be taken to remove a failure in a course.
A failure ordinarily may be made up only by repeating the
course. Special examinations will not be given to make up fail-
ure to write passable themes or to hand in the required number
of themes.
Green Caldron
The Green Caldron is a magazine in which appear some of
the themes written by students in Rhetoric 1 and 2. A com-
mittee of the Rhetoric Staff makes the final selections from the
work chosen by individual instructors. The themes chosen are
not all A themes necessarily, but all are good, and each is
noteworthy as an illustration of at least one principle of suc-
cessful writing. Four issues appear during the year, and to each
issue at least one class recitation is devoted. Every student,
therefore, is expected to provide himself, at the times indicated
in the Calendar, with copies of the magazine. They may be ob-
tained at the Information Office in the Administration Building
(157 W.). Although the writing of poetry is not a part of the
regular program of Rhetoric 1 and 2, good verse will be wel-
comed for publication. Contributions of verse, or of prose vol-
untarily contributed, should be submitted to the instructor.
Supplementary Reading
One important aim of the course is to encourage good read-
ing. In Room 104 of the University Library are shelved all the
books listed in the Manual on pages 42r68. In accordance with
plans announced by instructors, each student is asked to read
at least six books, three each semester. Room 104 is open from
9 to 12, from 2 to 5, and from 7 to 10 o'clock on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays; from 9 to 12 and from
2 to 5 on Fridays; and from 9 to 12 on Saturdays. It is closed
on Friday and Saturday nights, and on Saturday afternoons.
When Room 104 is closed, books may be borrowed from, and
returned to, the North Reserve Room. Books not on the list
may be read if the instructor approves.
The books may be taken out for one week, and only one
hook at a time. The fine on an overdue book is twenty-five cents
a day until the book is returned.
The Library
On the first floor of the Library Building, rooms of interest
to undergraduate students are the North Reserve Room and the
South Reserve Room. The Rhetoric Reserves, as previously
stated, are shelved in Room 104. On this floor, also, is the
Education, Psychology, and Philosophy Reading Room contain-
ing books placed on reserve by instructors for outside read-
ing in certain courses. All books in the Reserve Rooms,
except books for Rhetoric 1 and 2, are for use in the rooms
only, except that they may be taken home at 9 p. m. to be re-
turned at 9 a. m. the following morning.
On the second floor, are located the Main Reading Room in
the front of the Library, the Delivery and Card Catalog Room
extending west from the head of the stairs, the Browsing Corner,
and the Commerce and Sociology Reading Room.
In the Main Reading Room, important reference books such
as encyclopedias, dictionaries, periodical indexes, etc., as well as
current and bound periodicals of general interest, are placed.
The librarians at the Reference Desk in the Main Reading Room
assist students in finding needed information.
At the west end of the Delivery and Card Catalog Room, is
the Loan Department where books are delivered to readers for
home use. The average book is loaned for two weeks and
may be renewed for two weeks more, if not called for. General
reference books such as those in the Main Reading Room,
periodicals, and certain other publications are to be used only
in the reading room.
In the north half of the Delivery Room is the Card Catalog,
which is an index to the books in all the libraries on the campus
9
and is accessible for general use. Every book in the Library is
represented by a card in this index. In the upper left-hand
corner of the card is the call number, which is also on the book
itself. Books are arranged in the stacks according to their call
numbers. More detailed information about the Card Catalog
may be found in Chapter X of Composition for College Students.
Opposite the Card Catalog in the same room, but parti-
tioned off, is a collection of books for leisure reading. This
section of the room is sometimes referred to as the Browsing
Corner.
How to Procure Books
If a student wislies to procure a book from the Library, he
should first obtain a call slip, to be found at the ends of the
tables near the Card Catalog. On this he should copy the call
number, the author's name, the title of the book, and the volume
number of woks of more than one volume. The call slip should
then be presented at the Loan Desk at the west end of the room.
When the assistant brings the book from the stacks the student
signs the call slip, which is retained by the Library until the
book is returned. This information concerns the procuring of
books from the main part of the Library. It does not concern
the Rhetoric Reserves, where books are signed for on special
cards at the desk in Room 104 on the first floor.
If a person does not know how to find a book through the
Card Catalog, or if he does not know what books will give him
certain information, he should ask for assistance at the Refer-
ence Desk in the Main Reading Room.
