GENERAL INFORMATION The Organization of the University includes the Colleges (Senior and Junior) of Arts, Literature, and Science; the Graduate School of Arts and Literature; the Ogden (Graduate) School of Science; the Divinity School, the Law School; Courses in Medicine, the School of Education, the College of Commerce and Administration. Faculty and equipment.-The faculty numbers three hundred and thirtyseven, the libraries contain 402,503 volumes. The University owns ninetyfive acres of land in Chicago and has about forty buildings. Location of the University.—The University grounds lie on both sides of the Midway Plaisance between Washington and Jackson parks, six miles south of the center of Chicago. Electric cars, elevated trains, and the Illinois Central suburban service reach all railway stations. Incoming students are urged not to leave orders for the transfer of their baggage at the depots, unless they have secured rooms. To avoid delay and storage charges, baggage checks and orders for transfer of freight may be left at the Information Office in Cobb Hall, where provision is made for caring for baggage until lodging is secured. Inquiry for mail should also be made on the first call at the Information Office. Many important letters and telegrams for new students and visitors come to that office at the beginning of each quarter which must later be returned to the sender or sent to the dead letter office because of the general neglect to leave instructions for University mail. The University year is divided into quarters: the Autumn (October, November, December); the Winter (January, February, March); the Spring (April, May, to the middle of June); the Summer (from the middle of June, July, August). For the year 1914-15 the exact dates for the opening of the four quarters are: Summer Quarter, June 15, 1914; Autumn Quarter, October 1, 1914; Winter Quarter, January 4, 1915; Spring Quarter, March 29, 1915. Students are admitted at the opening of each quarter; graduation exercises are held at the close of each quarter. The unit of work and of credit is a major, i.e., a course of instruction involving four or five recitations or lecture hours per week for a full quarter, or double that number of hours for a term of six weeks. A minor is one-half a major. Normal work is three majors per quarter, or nine per year of three quarters. Degrees.-The University confers in the Graduate Schools the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and of Master of Arts and of Science; in the Colleges, the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, of Science, and of Philosophy; in the Divinity School, the degrees of Bachelor of Divinity, of Master of Arts, and of Doctor of Philosophy; in the Law School, the Degrees of Doctor of Law and Bachelor of Laws; in the College of Education, the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, of Philosophy in Education, and of Science in Education; in the College of Commerce and Administration, the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. Fellowships, scholarships, student service, etc.-By virtue of endowments and special appropriations, fellowships and scholarships and service afford stipends or tuition to a number of able and deserving students. The University also maintains a bureau for obtaining outside employment. The Board of Recommendations.-The University maintains a bureau for the recommendation of its students to teaching positions. During last season over six hundred persons received appointments through the services of this bureau. This service is rendered by the University without charge and is extended both to those seeking initial positions and to those already located who are worthy of promotion to better places. ROUTINE OF ENTRANCE A. CREDENTIALS Application should be addressed to The University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill. When presenting himself for admission to the University, the student should bring his card of admission credits (blank form is furnished upon application), if he is entering from a secondary school; his letter of dismissal and an official statement concerning his previous work, if he is entering with advanced standing from another institution (see p. 104); his diploma or other official evidence of graduation if he is entering the Graduate Schools. Undergraduates present their credentials at the office of the University Examiner; graduate students report at the office of the Deans of the Graduate Schools. Detailed directions will be furnished as to the mode of registering for courses of instruction desired. B. MATRICULATION AND REGISTRATION I. Time of registration.—1. Students in residence will register for the following quarter on the days announced on the Bulletin boards and in the Weekly Calendar. 2. Students (except Freshmen) entering the University for the first time, or resuming work after absence for a quarter, will register on the first day of the quarter. 3. In the Autumn Quarter, Freshmen should attend the meeting of entering students, Wednesday, September 30, 1914, at 9:30 a.m. II. Order of procedure for new students.-New undergraduate students will: 1. In case they come from a secondary school or another college, present credentials to the Examiner and secure a Course Book (certificate of admission). This should be done by correspondence. New students should send their credentials to the Examiner at least two weeks before they come to register. 2. Present health certificates duly signed by a regular physician, certifying to normal health, recent vaccination, etc. 3. Matriculate in the office of the Dean of the School or College to which admission is desired. Matriculation is granted on presentation of the proper certificate of admission entitling the student to enter the University. As evidence of membership the student is given a matriculation card. This card should be retained under all circumstances, as it must be shown whenever membership in the University is to be demonstrated. 4. Register, in the same office, for the courses of study desired for the ensuing quarter. For this purpose the student will be given a registration card for the quarter, on which, after consultation with the Dean, the courses desired will be entered. 5. Pay the University fees for the ensuing quarter. In order to do this the student will present the matriculation card and the proper registration card at the office of the Cashier, Press Building, Room 1. On payment of the fees the Cashier will stamp the matriculation card and return it to the student, together with a receipt for tuition fees and for laboratory fees (if any). Tuition and other fees may conveniently be paid by check to the order of The University of Chicago, provided the necessary registration cards accompany the check. Details as to fees will be found below. The names of the students will be sent to instructors as entitled to attend classes only after the fees have been paid, as above specified. Graduate students follow the above procedure, but report to the Deans of the Graduate Schools instead of to the Examiner. III. Changes in registration.—After the first day of the quarter change of registration is permitted only (1) with the consent of the Dean, and (2) on payment of a fee of one dollar for each instance of change. In case of changes necessitated by the University, no fee is required. IV. Required physical culture.—Junior College students are required to take continuous work in Physical Culture, and will register each quarter for a course in that Department. Senior College students take courses in Physical Culture during at least four quarters, and will in no case omit to register for a course in that Department except after securing the written approval of the director of Physical Culture and presenting the same to the Dean at the time of registration. FEES FOR MATRICULATION, TUITION, ETC. A. Matriculation fee.-The matriculation fee is $5, and is required of every student on entrance to the University. B. Tuition fee.-1. The tuition fee is $40 per quarter for regular work (three majors or their equivalent); there is no reduction to those taking only two majors. 2. A reduction is made in case of students taking only one major (or equivalent), one-half the full tuition fee being charged. 3. All tuition and laboratory fees are due on or before the first day of each quarter, and payable without extra fee up to the end of the fifth day of the quarter. All fees are payable to the Cashier, Press Building, Room 1. C. Fines, etc.-For failure to pay tuition fees within the first five days of the quarter a fee of $5 is added to the bill. D. Laboratory fee. Students in all laboratory courses pay a laboratory fee of $5 a major. Ten dollars ($10) is the maximum charge for laboratory work in any one department (M. and DMj. courses will be charged in proportion).
