the Comparative Religion, the Assyrian, and the Egyptian collections occupy the second floor. A large assembly room and administration offices are on the first floor, and a library is on the third floor. The Yerkes Astronomical Observatory at Lake Geneva is situated near Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Its principal instrument is a refracting telescope of forty inches aperture. Advanced students in Astronomy may register for work at the Observatory, spending their whole time at Williams Bay. GYMNASIUMS A. LEXINGTON GYMNASIUM The Lexington Hall Gymnasium is a temporary structure, built in the winter of 1903, for the use of women students. It offers an unobstructed floor space 70 by 71 feet, and is provided with lockers, dressing-rooms, shower baths, and offices. In Ida Noyes Hall, in process of building, will be provided a modern gymnasium for women. B. FRANK DICKINSON BARTLETT GYMNASIUM The Frank Dickinson Bartlett Gymnasium, a memorial to Frank Dickinson Bartlett, has been in use since the Autumn Quarter, 1903. It was formally dedicated on January 29, 1904. The building, with equipment, has cost over $275,000. It is 200 feet long by 80 feet wide. The basement floor contains four large dressing-rooms for the University and visiting teams, shower baths, Turkish baths, rubbing-room, stockroom, vaults, etc. The first floor has space for 1,500 lockers, 25 shower baths, a swimming-tank, Faculty exercising room, and offices. The swimming-tank, of white tile, is 60 by 28 feet-a very convenient size for conducting swimming contests. A gallery with seats for 200 people overlooks the water. The second or top floor is the exercising room; it extends over the whole building, and is entirely free from pillars. A runningtrack, varying in width from 12 feet 6 inches to 16 feet 6 inches, with 13.4 laps to the mile, extends around the walls 12 feet above the floor. The gymnasium has been equipped with the best and most modern apparatus, a large part of which is new in design and was made especially for this building. Provision has been made by multiplying pieces of apparatus for the exercising of large squads of men at one time, with the smallest loss of time to the individual. A large triple batting-cage has been installed for winter baseball practice, and bleachers which will accommodate 1,500 persons have been built for use at athletic meets. C. GROUNDS I. For women.-1. Outdoor Gymnasium. A turfed field, 90 by 60 feet, adjoins the Lexington Gymnasium, and is used when the weather permits for class work and gymnastic games. 2. The hockey field in the northern portion of the block between Woodlawn and Kimbark avenues and Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth streets affords space for hockey courts. II. For men.-The University of Chicago Athletic Field includes two city squares and is fully equipped for all kinds of squad and competitive work. In addition to the above fields and courts there are twenty-eight tennis courts on the campus, which are used by both men and women students. These were built from receipts from the athletic games. A concrete grandstand, 480 feet long and 50 feet high, and a wall surrounding the athletic field have just been completed, at a cost of $200,000. Under the stand are toilet rooms and a racquet court besides locker rooms, baths, team rooms, squash and handball courts.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS OF THE COLLEGES A. ADMISSION FROM SECONDARY SCHOOLS I. GENERAL STATEMENT A student must offer for admission 15 units of credit by examination or by certificate from an approved school from which he has graduated with an average grade in academic subjects (English and groups 1-6; see next paragraph) higher than the passing mark of the school by at least 25 per cent of the difference between that mark and 100. Among these must be (a) 3 units of English, (b) a "principal group" of 3 or more units, and (c) a “secondary group" of 2 or more units. Of the 15 units 7 must be selected from the subjects named in the groups designated below; 5 may be selected from any subjects for which credit toward graduation is given by the approved school from which the student receives his diploma. The principal and secondary groups offered may be selected from the following: (1) Greek, (2) Latin, (3) Modern language other than English, (4) History, Civics, and Economics, (5) Mathematics, (6) Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, General Biology, Physiology, Physiography, Geology, Astronomy. To form a language group the units must be all in one language. In other groups any combination of subjects may be made. Credit is not given for less than 1 unit each in Algebra, Plane Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, or a language. In Latin 2 units must be offered if the subject is to be continued in college. than unit in any subject is not accepted. SUMMARY OF ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS 3 units of English. 3 (or more) units in a single group, 1-6. 2 (or more) units in another single group, 1-6. 2 (or less) units in subjects selected from any of the groups 1-6. [Total 10 units in English and groups 1-6.] Less 5 units selected from any subjects accepted by an approved school for its diploma. Entrance with conditions is not permitted. Excess admission credit does not establish any presumptive claim for advanced standing, unless the student has taken a postgraduate high-school course of at least one semester. II. ADVISORY GROUPING OF SUBJECTS IN PREPARATION FOR ADMISSION The attention of students is drawn to the fact, as explained below, that certain subjects are required which may be taken either in the high school or in the college. It is urgently recommended that as many as possible be taken during the high-school course. Students who are preparing for a professional degree or for specialized work will materially increase the opportunity for freedom of election by adopting the following suggestions for their high-school work. A student is advised to take throughout his last year of high school some subject other than English which will form the basis of the continuation group of his first year in college. Proper subjects for this continuation group are History, Greek, Latin, French, German, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Physiography, and Biology. This study may form part of the principal or the secondary group. LANGUAGE Three units of English are specifically required. The study of foreign languages, both ancient and modern, is best begun in the high school. A reading knowledge of at least one of the modern languages is expected for all degrees and it is extremely desirable that this subject should be taken before the student enters college. Students who intend to specialize in the classics are advised to present 4 units of Latin and if possible 3 units of Greek. Those who intend to enter Law or Medicine, or to specialize in modern languages, are advised to present at least 2 units of Latin. The first two years of Latin are not offered in the Colleges. MATHEMATICS It should be noticed that 2 units or 4 majors of mathematics are required for the college degree. It is desirable that one year of algebra and one of plane geometry should be presented for admission by all students, as these subjects are not at present offered in the Colleges. SCIENCE The 2 units or 4 majors of science required for the college degree may be taken either in the high school or in the college. Students intending to enter medicine should present at least 1 unit of Physics and if possible 1 unit of Chemistry. HISTORY The character and amount of history taken in the high school may be determined by the student in consultation with the school authorities. It should, however, be recognized that if 2 units be taken during the high-school course, the student thereby gains freedom to elect a corresponding number of majors in college. III. TIME OF PREPARATION-ADMISSION UNITS Preparation for admission to a Junior College is expected to cover a period of four years in a secondary school (high school or academy) of high grade. Admission credits are reckoned in units. A unit is a course of study comprising not less than 150 hours of prepared work. Two hours of laboratory work are regarded as the equivalent of one hour of prepared work. Admission to the Junior Colleges of the University may be obtained by one of the following methods: by certificate, by examination, or by a combination of the two methods. 1. Admission by certificate.-Students who present credentials showing graduation from any of the following schools and whose course of study covers the admission requirements indicated above will, upon the recommendation of their respective principals, be admitted without examination: (1) the accredited1 schools of the University, including (a) schools accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges; (b) schools approved by the Board of Admissions after inspection by official representatives of the University; (2) schools approved by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board; (3) schools outside the territory of the associations above mentioned but approved by a leading state university whose standards of admission are substantially the same as those of the University of Chicago. Applications for admission to the Colleges at the beginning of any quarter, accompanied by proper credentials, should be presented to the University Examiner at least one month before the opening of that quarter, and will not be considered, except by special action of the The continuation of any school on the accredited list of the University will depend upon the records made in the University by its graduates admitted on certificate. Board of Admissions, if presented later than two weeks before the opening of the quarter. The University reserves the right to refuse admission to any student whose preparatory work was of such grade as to create doubt of his ability to pursue college work successfully. 2. Admission by examination.-Regular entrance examinations are held twice each year, in June and in September, the June examinations being those of the College Entrance Examination Board. The candidate may, at his option, take his examinations at different times, provided that no examination is valid after three years from the date when taken and that no student shall be admitted to examination at more than three regular periods. Students who present by certificate less than 15 units from an accredited school may complete the requirements for admission by examination. a) The June examination.—The examinations held by the College Entrance Examination Board will be accepted as a satisfactory substitute for the admission examinations held by the University of Chicago. The board's examinations will be held during the week June 14-19, 1915, and the corresponding week of the following year. All applications for examination should be addressed to the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, Post-Office Sub-Station 84, New York, N.Y., and must be made upon a blank form to be obtained from the secretary of the board upon application. Applications for examination at points in the United States east of the Mississippi River, also at Minneapolis, St. Louis, and other points on the Mississippi River, must be received by the secretary of the board at least two weeks in advance of the examinations; applications for examination elsewhere in the United States or in Canada must be received at least three weeks in advance of the examinations; and applications for examination outside of the United States and Canada must be received at least five weeks in advance of the examinations. Applications received later than the dates named will be accepted when it is possible to arrange for the admission of the candidate concerned, but only upon the payment of $5 in addition to the usual fee. The examination fee is $5 for all candidates examined at points in the United States and Canada and $15 for all candidates examined outside of the United States and Canada. The fee (which cannot be accepted in advance of the application) should be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New York to the order of the College Entrance Examination Board. A list of the places at which examinations are to be held by the board in June will be published about March 1 of each year. Requests that the examinations be held at particular points, to receive proper consideration, should be transmitted to the secretary of the board not later than February 1. b) The September examination.-The September examinations are held at the University. Those for 1914 will be held September 8-11. Applications for admission to these examinations should be made to the University Examiner at least thirty days in advance. Each applicant will pay in advance an examination fee of $5. The University Cashier's receipt for this fee entitles the student to admission to examination in as many subjects as he wishes to take at one |
