THE COLLEGE OF RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE

The College of Religious and Social Science is an organization of undergraduate courses conducted at the University and leading to the degree of Ph.B. It is co-ordinate with the other Colleges of the University. Circulars of information will be sent on application to the Deans of the Divinity School, University of Chicago. The courses in Social Science are under the direction of the instructors in Sociology, and students are permitted to avail themselves of the lectures given by specialists in the Institute of Social Science and Arts, and to receive credits for work done in the Institute.

THE INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND ARTS
TRAINING FOR PHILANTHROPIC AND SOCIAL WORK

(Fine Arts Building, 203 Michigan Ave., Chicago)

OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION

WILLIAM RAINEY HARPER, PH.D., D.D., LL.D., President of the University.
HARRY PRATT JUDSON, A.M., LL.D., Dean of the Faculties of Arts, Literature, and Science.
WILLIAM DARNALL MACCLINTOCK, A.M., Dean of University College.

JOHN CUMMINGS, PH.D., Dean in University College.

GRAHAM TAYLOR, D.D., LL.D., Director of the Institute of Social Science and Arts.

The courses of study and practical training in social and philanthropic work, offered by the University and the specialists co-operating with it, are aimed to meet and increase the demand for efficient helpers, in charitable and reformatory service, both public and private, and in all endeavors to improve industrial, civic, and social conditions and relationships. The intention is not only to provide a basis of general knowledge for intelligent interest and participation in whatever promotes the welfare of the community, but also to offer a more technical preparation for professional and volunteer service in specific lines of organized effort.

The demand for trained helpers is being widely increased by the extension of the civil-service law of merit appointments to public charitable and reformatory institutions, and to city and state inspectorships, and by the growing opportunities and exactions of child-helping agencies, boys' and girls' clubs and probation officers; the management and operation of voluntary philanthropic institutions and the associated charities; the organized movements for civic betterment; the welfare work of industrial establishments; social settlement service, the neighborhood extension of the public schools, and the diversified institutional and educational ministries of the churches and their missions, at home and in foreign fields.

Training in these directions is offered not only through the instruction of those who are at the head of several specialized agencies and departments of knowledge, but also through courses in University College, the School of Education and its manual training, the Department of Sociology, and all other instruction and library advantages at the University.

Charitable, correctional, and social institutions, both public and private, in Chicago and vicinity, will be open to visitation and study under the supervision of the Director, who will hold personal conferences with each student over studies, observation of methods, and participation in the practical work of the city. Assignments will be made to friendly visiting, social settlement appointments, co-operation with probation officers, personal effort for discharged prisoners, and in other lines. A limited number of students may apply, through the Director, for temporary residence at social settlements in Chicago.

The University has equipped a laboratory for statistical research work, in which students are given training in the collection and tabulation of statistical data, as well as in the scientific construction of charts, diagrams, etc.

The John Crerar Library, located near the school, contains the most valuable collection of economic and sociological literature in this country, and is open to the free use of the students. The Chicago Public Library and the Newberry Library, are also close at hand, and the library privileges of the University are at the disposal of the students.

University College Institute courses of study and training are open to: (1) Graduates of high schools, or those giving evidence of equivalent qualifications who wish to prepare themselves for social, philanthropic, and religious work, professionally, or as volunteers. (2) Those now engaged in the service or management of such public or private institutions and efforts who seek to attain higher efficiency and are judged capable of taking the proffered courses. (3) Those duly registered as students in colleges, universities, professional schools theological and lay seminaries, who apply to take one or more courses or attend the Open Lectures.

Registrations should be made in advance, either in person or by correspondence, at University College Office, seventh floor, Fine Arts Building, 203 Michigan Avenue, where inquiries may be made and tuition paid as follows:

For course in Public Charities, 24 lectures

Half course, Dependent, Delinquent, and Defective Children
