LETTER. OF TRANSMITTAL. 
 
 Department of the Interior, 
 
 Bureau of Education, 
 
 Washing ton, February 9 , 1917. 
 
 Sir: Various agencies in the United States maintain lists of col¬ 
 legiate institutions whose graduates are given certain academic or 
 professional privileges. Very few of these lists have received wide¬ 
 spread publicity. The criteria in accordance with which the lists 
 are made up vary. Consequently, there is a great and growing 
 uncertainty as to what is meant by the term “ recognized ” or “ ap¬ 
 proved ” or w accredited ” college. It has been felt that a compila¬ 
 tion of such of these lists as are prepared by public or nonsectarian 
 agencies will be useful to educational officers, and in the end will 
 contribute toward the establishment of more definite standards for 
 collegiate work. I have, accordingly, requested Dr. S. P. Capen, the 
 bureau’s specialist in higher education, to prepare such a compilation, 
 which is transmitted herewith for publication as a bulletin of the 
 Bureau of Education under the title “Accredited Higher Institu¬ 
 tions.” 
 
 Respectfully submitted.

ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 The impression prevails that there exists some authoritative classi¬ 
 fication of higher institutions, a classification which has behind it 
 the sanction of the Government. It is true that the Bureau of Educa¬ 
 tion prepared in 1911 a tentative classification of colleges, on the 
 basis of the value of the bachelor’s degree. This document was never 
 formally published, and no effort has been made to correct, in ac¬ 
 cordance with the current changes in institutional standards and 
 resources, the information on which it was based. There is no 
 comprehensive classification of collegiate institutions by any 
 governmental agency. 
 
 Classifications appear to be necessary for various purposes, how¬ 
 ever, and in default of action by the Government those groups of 
 educational officials who need them have been forced to make their 
 own. State departments of education, State universities, educational 
 foundations, voluntary associations, and certain of the larger univer¬ 
 sities which maintain graduate schools, as well as church boards 
 of education and other denominational bodies have for some years 
 gradually been elaborating lists of institutions whose standards they 
 are willing, as the result of special information, to approve. Prob¬ 
 ably the extent to which this process has been carried on has not 
 been generally known. The facts have seemed to the Bureau of 
 Education to be worth recording, both because of their bearing on 
 an important phase of higher education in the United States and 
 for the assistance of educational officers who deal with questions of 
 advanced credits. 
 
 Accordingly, in March, 1916, the Bureau of Education issued a 
 general inquiry designed to secure from various nonsectarian agencies 
 the lists of collegiate institutions approved by each, together with 
 statements of the criteria by which inclusion in each list is deter¬ 
 mined. The material submitted in response to this inquiry is pub¬ 
 lished herewith. To it have been added the lists already in print 
 prepared by certain widely influential organizations. Each list is 
 the latest one which had been issued or prepared by the body in 
 question at the time of the inquiry. A few lists have since been re¬ 
 vised. Owing to the delay attendant on securing returns, the bureau 
 
 5

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 has not attempted to include these revisions, however. 1 The bulletin 
 represents the status of collegiate accrediting by official and semi¬ 
 official nonsectarian agencies as late as April, 1916. 
 
 PURPOSES AND PROCEDURE OF ACCREDITING AGENCIES. 
 
 The lists represent four types of procedure in classification. State 
 universities are generally under the necessity of defining the terms 
 on which students coming from other collegiate institutions (as a rule 
 from institutions in the same State) will be received. Some State 
 universities accredit colleges from which undergraduate students will 
 be accepted on transfer, some accredit colleges whose graduates will 
 be admitted to the graduate school as candidates for advanced de¬ 
 grees, and some accredit colleges on both bases. Their sources of 
 information regarding accredited institutions are various. More 
 or less definite knowledge of the standards of colleges in the home 
 State is commonly possessed by State university officials as the result 
 of visits to these institutions and of past experience with students 
 who have been transferred from them. Where a State university 
 accredits institutions in other States, it is customary to rely on the 
 ratings given by the State universities of those States or by some, 
 trustworthy nonofficial body. 
 
 The lists of institutions accredited by State departments of educa¬ 
 tion contain chiefly the names of universities, colleges, and normal 
 schools whose graduates are eligible to receive certain kinds of 
 teachers’ certificates without examination. Generally, departments 
 of education accredit only institutions in their own States. Some of 
 them have developed more or less adequate machinery for inspecting 
 these institutions. Some depend largely on reports and desultory 
 information. Where the attempt is made to cover a wider territory 
 than a single State, reliance is usually placed on the action of the 
 accrediting bodies in whose bailiwick the institutions in question are 
 located. There are certain exceptions to this method, notably, for 
 example, the practice of the New York State Department of Educa¬ 
 tion, which conducts a painstaking inquiry into the standards of all 
 institutions wherever situated that apply for rating. (The last 
 printed list of institutions recognized by the New York department 
 of education, issued in 1913, is not published here for the reason 
 that it is under careful revision.) 
 
 The lists prepared by voluntary associations, like the North Cen¬ 
 tral Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Asso- 
 
 1 Exception was made in the cases of the lists of the State universities and education 
 departments of the following States, which specially requested the bureau to bring their 
 lists up to date: State universities of Minnesota, Texas, Washington; education depart 
 ments of Illinois, Ohio, Texas, and Washington. 
 
INTRODUCTION.

 ciation of American Universities and by the Carnegie Foundation 
 for the Advancement of Teaching, represent an effort to define and 
 to elevate higher educational standards over wide areas. They are 
 not designed primarily to determine questions of credits or eligibility 
 for official credentials, although this may be a secondary object. 
 Their preparation is based on a detailed study of the standards 
 and resources of the institutions concerned. 
 
 The fourth type of classification is exemplified in the restricted 
 membership lists of certain organizations, like the Association of 
 Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. Collegiate 
 institutions are admitted to membership in these bodies only when, 
 upon investigation by the association’s officers, they are found to 
 meet the prescribed conditions of equipment, support, and academic 
 requirements. The effect of this kind of classification on higher 
 educational standards in the region covered by the association is 
 essentially the same as that of the third type just mentioned. 
 
 CONTENTS OF THE BULLETIN. 
 
 The bulletin is divided into four parts. Part I contains lists of 
 institutions accredited by State universities. At the head of each 
 list the purpose for which the institutions included in it are ac¬ 
 credited and the basis of approval are clearly stated. In those cases 
 where State universities have no formal lists of accredited institu¬ 
 tions, but, in judging the eligibility for advanced rating of candi¬ 
 dates from other colleges, apply definite standards to the institutions 
 from which candidates come, those standards are quoted. If a 
 State institution has no regular formal procedure with reference 
 to students coming from other colleges, that fact is also stated. 
 
 Part II contains lists of institutions accredited by State depart¬ 
 ments of education. Each list is headed by an outline of the purpose 
 and basis for accrediting adopted by the department in question. 
 
 Part III contains lists of recognized or approved colleges prepared 
 by the influential voluntary organizations of secondary and higher 
 institutions referred to above and by the Carnegie Foundation for 
 the Advancement of Teaching. Not all the voluntary associations 
 known to have adopted some sort of academic standards to test eligi¬ 
 bility for recognition or for membership are included in this group, 
 but only those whose sphere of operations is sectional (in the sense 
 of covering several States) or national. 
 
 A secondary purpose of the bulletin is to show the extent to which 
 junior colleges have been established in various parts of the country 
 and recognized by accrediting agencies. The lists of accredited 
 junior colleges are therefore presented separately. As typical of the 
 relationship existing between junior colleges and State universities, 
 the plan of affiliation adopted by the University of Missouri may be 
 cited.

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 COMMENT. 
 
 An examination of the lists as a whole leads to certain generaliza¬ 
 tions in regard to the present status of collegiate classification or 
 standardization. These might be summarized as follows: (1) A large 
 number of agencies are now attempting, for urgent official reasons, 
 to pass on the standing of higher institutions. (2) A great variety 
 of standards is applied. The criteria imposed by some of the classi¬ 
 fying organizations constitute real tests of collegiate resources. The 
 reader of the bulletin can in most cases tell from the summarized 
 statements at the beginning of the lists which may be so regarded. 
 The basis for classification reported by several of the classifying 
 agencies, on the other hand, is very vague. The person who has 
 intimate knowledge of many colleges may believe that a few of the 
 lists have been framed partly by guesswork. (3) Such standardiza¬ 
 tion or classification as has been attempted is for various purposes. 
 (4) There is a tendency for a local standardizing agency (and most 
 are local) to include by courtesy in its lists of recognized institutions 
 all colleges in its district. (5) There is no practical consensus of 
 opinion as to what constitutes that much-talked-of entity, the stand¬ 
 ard college. 
 
 It is hoped that the material in this bulletin will help to give 
 point to future considerations of this important subject, by 
 showing at least what is the present practice of the principal 
 standardizing bodies. It is realized that, numerous as the lists 
 are, some classifying organizations may have been omitted from 
 the bulletin aside from the local associations, universities on pri¬ 
 vate foundations, and sectarian boards, which were omitted by 
 design. 
 
 It should be emphasized that the colleges and universities 
 listed in this bulletin are not accredited or approved by the 
 Bureau of Education. Inclusion in this bulletin does not imply 
 governmental recognition. The Bureau of Education makes no 
 attempt to rate or to standardize the collegiate institutions of 
 the country. 
 
PART I.—INSTITUTIONS ACCREDITED BY STATE 
 
 UNIVERSITIES. 
 
 ALABAMA. 
 
 Recognition of the collegiate institutions of the State by the Uni- 
 versit}^ of Alabama is based on actual knowledge of the institutions’ 
 requirements for admission and graduation; knowledge of the char¬ 
 acter of their equipment and faculty; and the opportunity had by the 
 university of testing the work of students who have transferred from 
 these institutions to the university. Students so transferring are 
 granted full credit for the work completed at the institution previ¬ 
 ously attended, provided they present the equivalent of a high-school 
 diploma and have pursued a course leading to a standard degree. 
 
 Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn. 
 Athens Female College, Athens. 
 Birmingham College, Birmingham. 
 Howard College, Birmingham. 
 
 Judson College, Marion. 
 
 Southern University, Greensboro. 
 Woman’s College of Alabama, Montgomery. 
 
 ARIZONA. 
 
 The University of Arizona does not have a list ot accredited col¬ 
 leges. Advanced standing is granted on the basis of work done in 
 a standard college. “ In general, the basis for recognizing a school as 
 a standard college is a report of the Carnegie Foundation or the 
 North Central Association.” Students from accredited institutions 
 are granted hour-for-hour credit and are given class standing in 
 accordance with the requirements of the university. 
 
 ARKANSAS. 
 
 The following is the practice of the University of Arkansas in 
 dealing with applications for advanced credits of students from insti¬ 
 tutions both within and without the State: 
 
 The University of Arkansas has no fixed and definite list of colleges and 
 universities whose work it accepts or approves. In dealing with institutions 
 outside the State the custom is to call upon the State university of the given 
 State for information, in case the institution concerned is one that is not so 
 well known as to enable us to fix its standing otherwise. 
 
 In the case of students coming from institutions found to be of recognized 
 standing, the custom here is to grant to such students an amount of credit 
 proportionate to the work they have done in the other institution. 
 
 In general, the cases of students coming from those institutions in the State 
 of Arkansas are taken up individually, and they are given a certain amount 
 of credit contingent upon their making good in their university work. 
 
 CALIFORNIA. 
 
 The basis upon which the following list of institutions is made is 
 the experience of the University of California with students coming

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS, 
 
 from certain of them, the lists prepared by the Carnegie Foundation 
 for the Advancement of Teaching and published by the Association 
 of American Universities, the experience of institutions in the Asso¬ 
 ciation of American Universities, and the tentative list prepared by 
 the United States Bureau of Education in 1911. 
 
 Students presenting the bachelor’s degree from any of the ac¬ 
 credited institutions may enter the graduate division of the Uni¬ 
 versity of California without previous evaluation of their credentials. 
 Admission, however, is without classification with reference to can¬ 
 didacy for an advanced degree.

 COLORADO. 
 
 The University of Colorado has no official list of approved institu¬ 
 tions. In estimating the advanced standing to be given applicants 
 the university makes use largely of the tentative classification pre¬ 
 pared by the United States Bureau of Education in 1911. It also 
 consults the State universities or other recognized institutions in 
 the States from which applications for advanced standing come. 
 
 FLORIDA. 
 
 The basis for accrediting institutions by the University of Florida 
 is the fact that the schools maintain the same standard in their 
 courses as the university and that they have adequate facilities, 
 equipment, and endowment for carrying on their work.

 Rollins College, Winter Park. 
 
 GEORGIA. 
 
 The University of Georgia has no list of accredited colleges. 
 
 IDAHO. 
 
 The University of Idaho has no formal list of accredited colleges. 
 It accepts at full credit students from the State universities and such 
 institutions as the University of Chicago, Wellesley College, Harvard 
 University, etc. 
 
 ILLINOIS. 
 
 The University of Illinois has as yet made no formal list of ac¬ 
 credited colleges. With a view to this end two committees, a com¬ 
 mittee of the executive faculty of the graduate school and a committee 
 on the transfer of credits, have been working for two years. Tenta¬ 
 tive ratings have been made, but these are not ready for publication. 
 The rating of institutions will be in accordance with the following 
 standards and regulations: 
 
 1. A graduation requirement of four years (120 semester hours) of collegiate 
 grade. 
 
 2. A minimum entrance requirement of 14 units. By the minimum require¬ 
 ment is meant the smallest number of units with which a student may be per¬ 
 mitted to begin college work, i. e., the nominal requirement minus the number 
 of units of conditions allowed. 
 
 3. A requirement that all entrance conditions must be removed before a 
 student may be permitted to begin a second year of work in the same 
 institution. 
 
 4. Not less than eight distinct departments in liberal arts and sciences, 
 with at least one professor giving full time to college work in each department.

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 5. A minimum scholastic preparation of all college teachers of academic 
 subjects equivalent to graduation from a college of high grade and graduate 
 work equal to that required for the master’s degree of the University of 
 Illinois. 
 
 6. A maximum of 16 semester hours per week required of college teachers. 
 
 7. A maximum enrollment of 30 students in recitation or laboratory sections. 
 
 8. Buildings and equipment of the value of at least $100,000. 
 
 9. A productive endowment sufficient to yield a net annual income of at least 
 $10,000 available for instructional purposes in the college department (liberal 
 arts and sciences). 
 
 10. A library of not less than 10,000 bound volumes in addition to public 
 documents. 
 
 11. Laboratory equipment of a value of not less than $3,000 in physics 
 ($4,000 if work is offered in advance of one-year course) ; $2,500 in chemistry; 
 and $2,500 in biology. 
 
 12. Lighting, heating, ventilation, water supply, arrangement of laboratories, 
 corridors, and closets, and methods of cleaning such as to insure hygienic 
 conditions. 
 
 13. In addition to the foregoing specific requirements, the general standards 
 and spirit of the administration and faculty shall be considered. 
 
 Higher institutions from which students apply for advanced stand¬ 
 ing shall be grouped for the present in seven classes: 
 
 1. Colleges of Class A Plus. —This class shall include institutions which meet 
 in full all the criterions of a standard college (given above). 
 
 Students from institutions rated in Class A Plus shall receive hour-for-hour 
 credit. 
 
 2. Colleges of Class A.—This class shall include institutions which approxi¬ 
 mate the standard set for Class A Plus, but fall short of it in certain particu¬ 
 lars. For example, a college which has but 6 departments instead of 8, or 
 permits two years instead of one for the removal of conditions, or has one or 
 two members on its staff with only a bachelor’s degree, or is slightly short of 
 the standard set for the library or laboratory equipment, would fall in this 
 class. 
 
 Students from institutions rated in Class A shall receive substantially hour- 
 for-hour credit up to a maximum of 30 hours per year, except in specific de¬ 
 partments as may be noted in the rating of the individual institution. 
 
 3. Colleges of Class B. —This class shall include institutions which, while of 
 collegiate character and standards, fall short in more important particulars of 
 the standard set for Class A Plus. 
 
 Students from institutions rated in Class B shall receive approximately three- 
 fourths credit up to a maximum of 24 hours per year, except in specific depart¬ 
 ments as may be noted in the rating of the individual institution. This means 
 that a student who offers three years of work from a college of Class B would 
 receive at the most 72 hours and would have to spend two years to get his 
 degree from the University of Illinois; in other words, it represents a differ¬ 
 ential of one year toward that degree. 
 
 4. Colleges of Class C. —This class shall include institutions which, while 
 organized and designated as colleges, appear to be in reality little more than 
 secondary schools. 
 
 Students from institutions of Class C may receive, in departments to be 
 specifically designated in each case, approximately one-half credit up to a total 
 maximum of 36 hours.

 Indiana University accepts the rating of collegiate institutions 
 given by the State board of education, 1 and equivalent credit is given 
 to students from such institutions, provided their work has been in 
 the subjects belonging to the university college curriculum. Grad¬ 
 uates of these institutions are admitted to the graduate school of 
 Indiana University if, in the judgment of the departments con¬

 KENTUCKY. 
 
 v 
 
 As a member of the Kentucky Association of Colleges, the State 
 University of Kentucky agrees to accept the work done in any or 
 all of the other colleges which are members of the association. The 
 conditions required for membership are as follows: 
 
 Article 1, Sec. 2. Members of the faculty of any other college or university in 
 Kentucky which employs at least six professors, giving their entire professional 
 time to college or university work, and which requires for the baccalaureate 
 degree the completion of a regular four-year curriculum, embracing at least 
 120 semester hours, exclusive of physical training, and which requires for 
 entrance to its freshman class not less than 15 units, approved by the com¬ 
 mittee on accredited schools of this association, and has from tuition and other

 regular funds an income of not less than $15,000 per year, and has accessible 
 to its students a library adequate to the needs of the various departments, 
 systematically catalogued, and has laboratory equipment sufficient for giving 
 at least two years of work in each of the elementary sciences (biology, chem¬ 
 istry, and physics), shall be eligible to membership in this association, and shall 
 be recognized as members upon the acceptance of the institution to which they 
 belong by the executive committee of this association. 
 
 The other members of the association are (September, 1916): 
 
 Berea College, Berea. 
 
 Centre College of Kentucky, Danville. 
 Georgetown College, Georgetown. 
 
 Kentucky Wesleyan College, Winchester. 
 Transylvania College, Lexington. 
 University of Louisville, Louisville. 
 
 LOUISIANA. 
 
 The following constitutes the practice of the Louisiana State Uni¬ 
 versity in accrediting institutions for the acceptance of advanced 
 credits of students transferring from them to the university: 
 
 I. The Louisiana State University has no list of individual institutions the 
 work of which it accepts at a fixed value; but for the purpose of accrediting 
 the work of undergraduates who transfer to this institution, and for the pur¬ 
 pose of admitting graduates who wish to pursue work leading to the master’s 
 degree in this university, it recognizes all institutions which are members of 
 any of the following associations: 
 
 The Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. 
 
 The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. 
 
 The Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States 
 and Maryland. 
 
 The New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. 
 
 Institutions which are not members of the associations named above, but 
 which are members of the Association of American Universities or which are 
 on the accepted list of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of 
 Teaching will also be recognized. 
 
 Those institutions not included in the above lists which, however, offer a 
 four-year college course, after admission requirements amounting to four years 
 of high-school work, may also be recognized. These are for the most part 
 church colleges. In dealing with a student coming to us from one of these 
 institutions, the matter is usually referred to the State university of the State 
 in which the institution in question is located. The Louisiana State University 
 will usually accept the rating given by this State university. 
 
 II. The institution accredited must require for admission four years of 
 secondary work, and must offer a four-year college course leading to the degree 
 of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science. If not a member of one of the asso¬ 
 ciations named above, it must be recognized by the State university in the 
 State in which it is located. 
 
 III. A graduate of a recognized institution will be admitted to graduate 
 standing in the Louisiana State University and will be permitted to qualify 
 for the master’s degree in one year. No work above the grade of the master’s 
 degree is offered by the Louisiana State University. 
 
 Undergraduates coming from recognized institutions may transfer to the 
 Louisiana State University and receive full credit for their work. However, in 
 case of all undergraduates, the Louisiana State University requires that the 
 transferred student meet its specific admission requirements as well as its 
 specific curriculum requirements.

 MAINE. 
 
 The University of Maine accepts students from all colleges that 
 meet the Carnegie standard. Students coming from such colleges 
 have their credits transferred at par. 
 
 MICHIGAN. 
 
 The University of Michigan publishes no list of approved col¬ 
 legiate institutions. Applications for admission on advanced credit 
 are settled on their merits, each case being dealt with individually. 
 The university reserves the right to revise all advanced credit ac¬ 
 counts after a student has been in residence a year. 
 
 MINNESOTA. 
 
 The University of Minnesota publishes no list of approved col¬ 
 leges. It bases its attitude toward the various collegiate institu¬ 
 tions of the State on the reports of investigating committees which 
 it sends out. Institutions which such reports show to have entrance 
 standards corresponding to those of the university, which offer 
 four full years of college work, with equipment and teaching staff 
 comparing favorably with those of the university, are accorded full 
 recognition. Students transferring to the university from these 
 recognized colleges are entitled to corresponding rank at the univer¬ 
 sity, provided that in no case will more than three years of advanced 
 standing be granted to candidates for the bachelor’s degree. Grad¬ 
 uates of the recognized institutions are admitted to the graduate 
 school of the university without examination, the time necessary to 
 secure the master’s degree depending upon the extent to which the 
 student has specialized in his major subject.

 on the 14-unit basis and give four years of work for the bachelor’s 
 degree. 
 
 Millsaps College, Jackson. 
 
 Mississippi College, Clinton. 
 
 Mississippi Industrial Institute and College, Columbus. 
 
 MISSOURI. 
 
 The University of Missouri is a member of the Missouri College 
 Union and as such agrees to accept the credits of students obtained in 
 the other colleges of the union. It also accepts their A. B. graduates 
 for admission to the graduate school of the university, but not with 
 the understanding that they may take the master’s degree in one 
 year. The length of time required for this depends upon the oppor¬ 
 tunities for specialization offered by the institution in the depart¬ 
 ment in which the student has specialized and the advantage he has 
 taken of the opportunities offered. 
 
 Membership in the union is determined by vote of the institutions 
 already members. A committee appointed by the union inspects 
 and reports on all colleges making application for membership, and 
 the action of the union is based on this report.

 NEW MEXICO. 
 
 The University of New Mexico has as yet no scheme for accrediting 
 collegiate institutions. It allows full credit, however, for work 
 done in a State university or an institution that is a member of the 
 North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. 
 Other cases it settles on their merits. 
 
 NORTH CAROLINA. 
 
 The University of North Carolina issues no list of accredited in¬ 
 stitutions of collegiate grade. As a rule applications for advanced 
 standing are dealt with individually. 
 
 NORTH DAKOTA. 
 
 The University of North Dakota recognizes the work of the North 
 Dakota Agricultural College and of Fargo College (both located 
 at Fargo). Credit for credit is given in so far as the subjects 
 covered fit in with the course elected by the student at the university. 
 
 The smaller colleges of the State have not been investigated by the 
 university. 
 
 OHIO. 
 
 The Ohio State University was unable to furnish a list of approved 
 institutions. At the time the bulletin went to press a committee 
 appointed by the university was engaged in inspecting the colleges 
 of the State with a view to preparing such a list, but the work had 
 not proceeded far enough to enable the university to make a satis¬ 
 factory report. 
 
 OKLAHOMA. 
 
 Recognition of collegiate institutions by the University of Okla¬ 
 homa is based upon the requirement of four years of high-school 
 work for admission; upon the maintenance of satisfactory educa¬ 
 tional standards for members of the faculty; upon the character of 
 the courses offered; and upon the possession of facilities for giving 
 these courses. 
 
 The university recognizes the work of the following institutions to 
 the extent of admitting their students conditionally to such standing 
 as the number of these courses and the amount of time spent on them 
 will warrant. After the successful completion of one year of work of 
 a rank corresponding with the standing to which the students have 
 been admitted, the evaluation of their work is revised or made per¬ 
 manent.

 TEXAS. 
 
 Classification of the colleges of Texas was made July 7, 1916, and 
 additions made September 1, 1916, by the classification committee 
 appointed for this purpose by the college section of the Texas State 
 Teachers’ Association, the classification being made with respect to 
 the standards adopted by the college section. 
 
 Colleges shall be grouped in four classes, as follows: 
 
 (1) Colleges of Class A Plus. This class includes institutions which meet 
 in full all the criteria of a standard college as adopted by the college section of 
 the Texas State Teachers’ Association. Students from institutions that are in 
 Class A Plus should receive hour-for-hour credit 
 
accredited by state universities. 
 
 21 
 
 (2) Colleges of Class A. This class includes institutions which approximate 
 the standards set for Class A Plus, but fall short of it in certain particulars. 
 For example, a college which has but 6 separate departments, instead of 7, or is 
 slightly short of the standard set for the library or laboratory equipment, or 
 has one or two teachers having more than 20 hours of classroom work per week, 
 would fall in this class. Students from institutions rated in Class A should 
 receive a maximum of 13 session hours per year, or their work in specified 
 departments may be discounted, as noted in the rating of the individual 
 institution. 
 
 (3) Colleges of Class B. This class includes institutions which, while of 
 collegiate character and standards, fall short in more important particulars of 
 the standards set for Class A Plus. Students from institutions rated in 
 Class B receive approximately three-fourths credit up to a maximum of 11 
 session hours per year, except in specific departments, as may be noted in the 
 rating of the individual institution. (This means that a student who offers 
 three years of work from a college of Class B would receive, at the most, 33 
 session hours, and would have to spend approximately two years in the new 
 institution to get his degree; in short, it represents a differential of one year.) 
 
 (4) Colleges of Class C. This class includes institutions which, while 
 organized and designated as colleges, appear to be in reality little better than 
 secondary schools. Students from institutions of Class C should receive, in 
 departments to be specifically designated in each case, approximately one-half 
 credit up to a total maximum of 7£ session hours per year. 
 
 Minimum requirements for a college: 
 
 1. Entrance requirements should not be less than 14 standard high-school 
 units. 
 
 2. The completion of four years of work of 36 weeks each, with an average 
 of not less than fifteen 60-minute recitations per week. During each year the 
 student may not complete, as a rule, more than one-fourth of the requirements 
 for graduation, except when making up conditions. Should the college have 
 four quarters of 12 weeks each, then a student may graduate in less than 
 four years. At least one year of actual residence work should be required 
 of all students who enter with advanced standing. 
 
 3. The conferring of a multiplicity of degrees is to be discouraged. It is 
 far better for a small institution to build up one good, strong degree. 
 
 4. There should be maintained at least seven separate departments in liberal 
 arts and sciences, with not less than one professor devoting his whole time to 
 each department. 
 
 5. The college should be separate from any academy or preparatory school 
 to the extent of separate faculties and classes. 
 
 6. A faculty properly qualified shall consist entirely of graduates of standard 
 colleges, and each head of a department shall hold at least a master’s degree 
 from a standard college or have attained eminent success as a teacher. 
 Graduate study and training in research equivalent to that required for the 
 Ph. D. degree are urgently recommended. In departments of education, in 
 addition to the above requirements, teachers should have had successful 
 experience in public-school work. 
 
 7. Heads of departments should not receive salaries less than those paid 
 by standard institutions. The average salary paid to members of the faculty 
 is a serious factor in determining the standing of any institution. 
 
 8. The number of hours of work given by each teacher will vary in the 
 different departments. To determine this, the amount of preparation required 
 for the class and the time needed for study to keep abreast of the subject, 
 
22 
 
 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 together with the number of students, must be taken into account; but in 
 no case shall more than 20 hours per week be required, 15 being recommended 
 as a maximum. 
 
 9. The number of students in a recitation or laboratory class should be 
 limited to 30. A smaller number is much to be desired. 
 
 10. There should be an annual income of at least $20,000 from either or 
 all of tuition fees, rent, or endowment. This does not include charges for 
 board. 
 
 11. The library should contain, exclusive of public documents and periodical 
 publications, 5,000 volumes bearing specifically upon the subjects taught. 
 
 12. The laboratory equipment should be sufficient to perform all of the 
 experiments called for by the courses offered in the sciences—sufficiency to be 
 measured by the value of the apparatus—which shall be in chemistry not less 
 than $2,500, in physics not less than $3,500, in biology not less than $2,500. 
 
 13. The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting, heating, 
 and ventilation of the rooms, the nature of the laboratories, corridors, closets, 
 water supply, school furniture, apparatus, and methods of cleaning shall be 
 such as to insure hygienic conditions for both students and teachers. 
 
 14. The character of the curriculum, the efficiency of instruction, the scientific 
 spirit, the standard for regular degrees, the conservatism in granting honorary 
 degrees, and the tone of the institution shall also be factors in determining 
 its standing. 
 
 15. The institution must be able to prepare its graduates to enter recognized 
 schools as candidates for advanced degrees.

 is accepted as standard by the university. 
 
 In the case of students applying for advanced standing from insti¬ 
 tutions outside the State whose reputation is not well known, the 
 universities of the States from which the applicants come are con¬ 
 sulted. 
 
 VERMONT. 
 
 The University of Vermont accepts the credentials of Middlebury 
 College, Middlebury, giving substantially hour-for-hour credit. The 
 work of Norwich University, Northfield, and of St. Michael’s College, 
 Winooski, is given part credit.

 Outside the State the university accepts the work of all institu¬

 Certificate Board and of others maintaining equivalent entrance re¬ 
 quirements. In the case of institutions whose work is not well known, 
 the university seeks information from the nearest approved insti¬ 
 tutions. 
 
 VIRGINIA. 
 
 The University of Virginia does not have a list of accredited insti¬ 
 tutions. Applicants for a master’s or doctor’s degree coming from 
 other institutions are admitted to candidacy for such degree at the 
 university, provided the institution from which they received their 
 baccalaureate degrees fulfill the following conditions: 
 
 (1) That they have a faculty of at least six professors giving their 
 full time to college or university work; (2) entrance requirements 
 equal to those of the University of Virginia, and (3) courses of four 
 full years in liberal arts and sciences. 
 
 Students coming from institutions meeting the above conditions are 
 not required to take any undergraduate courses except such as the 
 committee on rules and courses or the professors in charge of the 
 graduate courses they elect may consider necessary for the successful 
 prosecution of those courses. If, however, the institution does not 
 meet the three conditions, the candidate’s preparation is carefully 
 considered by the committe on rules and courses, which prescribes 
 such undergraduate courses as are deemed necessary to supply his 
 deficiencies. 
 
 WASHINGTON. 
 
 The University of Washington has prepared no list of accredited 
 institutions. In admitting students to advanced standing the uni¬ 
 versity uses as a general guide the tentative classification prepared 
 by the Bureau of Education in 1911. The credits of students who 
 have come from institutions concerning which the University of 
 Washington has little or no definite information are usually sub¬ 
 mitted for evaluation to the State university or some well recognized 
 institution in the State in which the colleges in question are located. 
 
 Following is the practice of the university in dealing with the col¬ 
 leges of the State: 
 
 College of Puget Sound, Tacoma. —Full credit allowed for all work done within the 
 last four or five years. 
 
 Qonzaga College, Spokane. —Liberal arts credits have not been evaluated because 
 students entering the university have gone into some of its professional schools. 
 
 Spokane College, Spokane. —Students accepted on probation for the past six years. 
 
 Whitman College, Walla Walla. —Credits accepted hour for hour. 
 
 Whitworth College, Spokane. —University unable to get complete records of students, 
 due perhaps to recent removal of the institution to Spokane.

 WEST VIRGINIA. 
 
 West Virginia University publishes no list of accredited institu¬ 
 tions. Each case is dealt with on its merits. As regards institu¬ 
 tions outside the State, the university grants all colleges that are 
 in good standing with their own State university any privileges in 
 the way of accrediting that is granted by the university of the State 
 from which the student comes. 
 
 WISCONSIN. 
 
 Students of the State normal schools and of certain colleges of 
 Wisconsin who have fully and satisfactorily covered the requirements 
 of the first two years’ work in the courses they desire to pursue at the 
 university are admitted to junior rank in the college of letters and 
 science of the university. In case of migration at an earlier period 
 than the end of the sophomore year proportional credit is given. 
 Formal inspection of the institutions by university representatives 
 is made of the colleges before such privilege is granted.

 ILLINOIS. 
 
 For the purpose of certificating teachers the Department of Edu¬ 
 cation of Illinois divides the higher institutions of the State into 
 four groups, as follows: 
 
 GROUP I—RECOGNIZED NORMAL SCHOOLS. 
 
 DEFINITION. 
 
 A normal school is an institution whose organization, administration and 
 instruction are determined by one controlling purpose; viz, the education of 
 teachers for the public schools. 
 
 A recognized normal school is an institution employing at least 16 teachers, 
 each of whom devotes more than half of his time to teaching students above 
 the four-year high-school grade, and at least six teachers who devote their 
 entire time to the training of teachers in a practice school. 
 
 It shall require for graduation two full years of normal school work or 24 
 term credits. 
 
 A term credit is the work done in a subject requiring not less than four 
 45-minute recitation periods per week for not less than 12 weeks. 
 
 A year of practice teaching shall include the equivalent of 45 minutes per 
 day for 180 days spent in the actual teaching of pupils in a kindergarten, 
 elementary, or high school under competent and close supervision. 
 
 The recognition of the Illinois State normal schools includes the recognition 
 of their work as normal schools, teachers’ colleges, and special schools.

 GROUP II-RECOGNIZED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. 
 
 DEFINITION. 
 
 An institution to be ranked as a recognized college or university shall have 
 at least six professors giving their entire time to college or university work, 
 the necessary equipment to give a course of four full years of college grade 
 in the liberal arts and sciences, and shall require for admission not less than 
 15 secondary units of preparation in a recognized four-year high school or its 
 equivalent. It shall require for graduation not less than 120 semester hours. 
 
 Graduates of such institutions seeking county or State certificates are 
 required to show credits of at least 3 semester hours in educational psychology 
 and 3 semester hours in the principles and methods of teaching. 
 
 Full recognition of a college or university by the department of 
 public instruction means that all its work relating to the preparation 
 
ACCREDITED BY STATE DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION. 
 
 31 
 
 of teachers will be accepted according to the provisions of the cer¬ 
 tificating law, and that such recognition extends to all departments 
 of the institution. 
 
 The following list of recognized institutions was made upon the 
 basis of information furnished by inquiries and investigations alonsr 
 the lines of— 
 
 1. The relationship of the college to the Federation of Illinois Colleges. 
 
 2. The relationship of the college to the North Central Association of Colleges 
 and Secondary Schools. 
 
 3. The relationship of the college to graduate schools in universities. 
 
 4. Recognition given to graduates of the college by departments of education 
 in other States. 
 
 5. The catalogues and publications of the college. 
 
 6. The answers submitted by the president or registrar to the questions 
 contained in the blanks sent out by the superintendent of public instruction 
 of Illinois. 
 
 7. A visit made by authorized inspectors.

 GROUP III—PARTIALLY RECOGNIZED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. 
 
 (a) Higher institutions of learning offering four years of college work beyond 
 high-school graduation, but failing to meet all the requirements for full recog¬ 
 nition may, upon examination, be granted partial recognition. Certain courses 
 or parts of courses may be recognized, and the students or graduates of such 
 recognized courses may be accorded the privileges granted by law in proportion 
 to the work actually done as compared with fully recognized colleges. 
 
 (b) Such partial recognition shall be granted for only one year at a time. 
 
 (c) Whenever, upon examination, it is found that a partially recognized insti¬ 
 tution has met all the requirements of a recognized college or university, it shall 
 be transferred to Group II.

 RHODE ISLAND. 
 
 The State board of education has no exclusive list of accredited, 
 accepted, approved, or recognized colleges. 
 
 Colleges are accredited, accepted, approved, or recognized by the board of 
 education only for the purpose of qualifying college graduates for certification 
 as teachers, and no reputable college or university maintaining a four-year 
 course for its first degree has been discriminated against in Rhode Island. A 
 college diploma is accepted by the State board of education as evidence of 
 academic education. (Letter of Walter E. Ranger, secretary of Rhode Island 
 State Board of Education, April 13, 1916.) 
 
 SOUTH CAROLINA. 
 
 For the purpose of licensing teachers, the Board of Education of 
 South Carolina has approved the following higher institutions of 
 the State. “ The basis (for approval) is not clearly defined by the 
 State board, but credit is given after examination and approval of the 
 curriculum, equipment, and faculty. A committee is now working 
 on this problem.” (Letter of State Supt. J. E. Swearingen, Mar. 
 15 , 1916 .)

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 TENNESSEE. 
 
 The Department of Public Instruction of Tennessee has no list 
 of accredited colleges. All teachers applying for professional cer¬ 
 tificates must present a transcript of their work from the institution 
 from which they graduated. Certificates are issued as follows: 
 
 1. An elementary certificate of the first grade is issued to all who have 
 completed the academic course of the State normal schools. 
 
 2. A certificate good in all schools, except high schools of the first class, 
 is issued to all who have completed the normal course of the State normal 
 schools. 
 
 3. A high-school certificate of the first grade is issued to all applicants 
 who are graduates of the State university who have completed any six half- 
 year courses offered by the university in psychology, history of education, 
 principles of teaching and school management, not less than two of which shall 
 have special reference to high-school work. 
 
 4. Certificates may be issued to applicants who are graduates of an accredited 
 school. 
 
 An accredited school is defined as follows: 
 
 An accredited school is a college that requires 14 units for entrance and does 
 four years of college work. In addition, the curriculum must include at least 
 two half-year courses in education, one of which must be general methods of 
 teaching. On this work an elementary certificate will be issued. An accredited 
 school for a high-school certificate is one whose course in education is equal 
 to that of the State university as given above. 
 
 TEXAS. 
 
 The following are the minimum requirements for a college or 
 university of the first class as adopted by the State Department of 
 Education of Texas and approved by the college section of the State 
 Teachers’ Association: 
 
 1. Entrance requirements should not be less than 14 standard high-school 
 units. 
 
 2. The completion of 4 years of work of 36 weeks each, with an average of 
 not less than fifteen 60-minute recitations per week. During each year the 
 student may not complete, as a rule, more than one-fourth of the requirements 
 for graduation, except when making up conditions. Should the college have 
 4 quarters of 12 weeks each, then a student may graduate in less than 4 
 years. At least one year of actual residence work should be required of all 
 students who enter with advanced standing. 
 
 3. The conferring of a multiplicity of degrees is to be discouraged. It is far 
 better for a small institution to build up one strong degree. 
 
 4. There should be maintained at least seven separate departments in liberal 
 arts and sciences, with not less than one professor devoting his whole time to 
 each department. 
 
 5. The college should be separate from any academic or preparatory school to 
 the extent of separate faculties and classes. 
 
 6. A faculty properly qualified shall consist entirely of graduates of standard 
 colleges and each head of a department shall hold at least a master’s degree 
 
ACCREDITED BY STATE DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION. 
 
 51 
 
 from a standard college or have attained eminent success as a teacher. Grad¬ 
 uate study and training in research equivalent to that required for the Ph. D. 
 degree are urgently recommended. In departments of education, in addition 
 to the above requirements, teachers should have had successful experience in 
 public-school work. 
 
 7. Heads of departments should not receive salaries less than those paid by 
 standard institutions. The average salary paid to members of the faculty is a 
 serious factor in determining the standing of any institution. 
 
 8. The number of hours of work given by each teacher will vary in the 
 different departments. To determine this, the amount of preparation required 
 for the class and the time needed for study to keep abreast of the subject, 
 together with the number of students, must be taken into account; but in no 
 
 . case shall more than 20 hours per week be required, 15 being recommended as 
 a maximum. 
 
 9. The number of students in a recitation or laboratory class should be 
 limited to 30. A smaller number is much to be desired. 
 
 10. There should be an annual income of at least $20,000 from either or all 
 of tuition fees, rent, or endowment. This does not include charges for board. 
 
 11. The library should contain, exclusive of public documents and periodicals, 
 5,000 volumes bearing specifically upon the subjects taught. 
 
 12. The laboratory equipment should be sufficient to perform all of the 
 experiments called for by the courses offered in the sciences—sufficiency to be 
 measured by the value of the apparatus—which shall be, in chemistry, not less 
 than $2,500; in physics, not less than $3,500; in biology, not less than $2,500. 
 
 13. The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting, heating, and 
 ventilation of the rooms, the nature of the laboratories, corridors, closets, 
 water supply, school furniture, apparatus, and methods of cleaning shall be 
 such as to insure hygienic conditions for both students and teachers. 
 
 14. The character of the curriculum, the efficiency of instruction, the scientific 
 spirit, the standard for regular degrees, the conversatism in granting honorary 
 degrees, and the tone of the institution shall also be factors in determining its 
 standing. 
 
 15. The institution must be able to prepare its graduates to enter recognized 
 schools as candidates for advanced degrees. 
 
 To the holder of a bachelor of arts degree or any higher degree 
 from a first-class college or university, who has completed four full 
 courses in education and pedagogy, may be issued a permanent State 
 certificate.

 WASHINGTON. 
 
 In accrediting institutions for the issuance to their graduates of 
 certificates to teach in the public schools of Washington, the State 
 board of education makes use of the principles adopted by the con¬ 
 ference of chief State school officers of the North Central and Western 
 States, Salt Lake City, Utah, November 17-19, 1910. 
 
 Definition of a standard college or university adopted by the 
 conference: 
 
 To be considered a standard college all of the following conditions must be 
 fully met: 
 
 1. The completion of a four-year secondary course above the eighth grade 
 shall be required for college entrance. 
 
 2. The completion of 120 semester hours shall be required for graduation. 
 
 3. The number of class hours for the heads of departments and for students 
 shall not exceed 20 a week. 
 
 l Not a State school, but accredited on the same basis as State institutions. 
 
56 
 
 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 4. A faculty properly qualified shall consist entirely of graduates of standard 
 colleges, and each head of a department shall hold at least a master’s degree 
 from a standard college or have attained eminent success as a teacher, which 
 success shall be determined by the chief State school officer of the State in 
 which the institution is located. 
 
 5. The library shall consist of at least 5,000 volumes, selected with reference 
 to college subjects and exclusive of public documents. 
 
 6. The laboratory equipment shall be sufficient to establish efficient labora¬ 
 tories in all laboratory courses offered. 
 
 7. The means of support are defined as requiring a permanent endowment of 
 not less than $200,000, or an assured fixed annual income exclusive of tuition 
 of at least $10,000. The college must maintain at least seven separate depart¬ 
 ments or chairs in the arts and sciences. In case the pedagogical work of 
 the institution is to be accepted for certification, the college must maintain 
 at least eight chairs, one of which shall be devoted exclusively to education, 
 or at least to philosophy, including psychology and education. The head 
 of each department shall in no case devote less than three-fourths of his time 
 to college work. 
 
 The 1915 session of the State legislature passed the following law 
 concerning the certification of teachers: 
 
 That graduates of accredited colleges and universities must present evidence 
 that they have completed satisfactorily 12 semester hours in professional study 
 in an accredited institution, or else pass an examination in such professional 
 subjects as the State board of education may direct. 
 
 By a standard normal school is meant a school meeting the follow¬ 
 ing requirements: 1 
 
 1. For entrance, four years’ work above the eighth grade in an accredited 
 secondary school. 
 
 2. For graduation therefrom, two years’ additional work, including a 
 thorough review of the common branches and training in a practice school. 
 
 3. The maintenance of a well-equipped training school for observation and 
 practice, such school to cover work in the eight elementary grades. 
 
 4. The total attendance in the secondary school and in the normal school 
 shall be 216 weeks above the eighth grade; provided, that any normal school 
 may accept satisfactory credits covering 20 weeks’ work above the eighth 
 grade.

 as part of its college organization. In case such school is maintained under the 
 college charter, it must be kept rigidly distinct in students, faculty, and 
 discipline. 
 
 2. The completion of a secondary-school course covering at least the amount 
 of work indicated in section 3 of these by-laws should be demanded of every 
 student seeking admission to college. In measuring the amount of work done 
 by such students the association accepts the valuation of a unit as fixed by the 
 National Conference Committee on Standards, as follows: 
 
 A unit represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school, con¬ 
 stituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. 
 
 This statement is designed to afford a standard of measurement for the work 
 done in secondary schools. It takes the four-year high-school course as a basis 
 and assumes that the length of the school year is from 36 to 40 weeks, that a 
 period is from 40 to 60 minutes in length, and that the study is pursued for 
 four or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances a satisfactory 
 year’s work in any subject can not be accomplished in less than 120 sixty- 
 minute hours or their equivalent. Schools organized on any other than a four- 
 year basis can, nevertheless, estimate their work in terms of this unit. 
 
 3. Fourteen units are required of all students admitted to college. Conditions 
 are allowed to the extent of two units only, and all conditions or deficiencies 
 should be removed before the beginning of the second year in college. College 
 work done to remove conditions must not be counted toward a degree. Stu¬ 
 dents may be admitted either on certificate or on examination, but they must in 
 all cases comply with the above requirements as to the amount of work offered. 
 The association strongly recommends that all candidates be required to offer 
 English and mathematics, and that all candidates for a degree course in the 
 college of liberal arts be required to offer in addition the necessary preparation 
 in two foreign languages. 
 
 4. Special students may be admitted to college without the usual form of 
 examination under the following conditions: (a) They must be of mature age 
 (not less than 20 years is suggested) ; (&) they must not be admitted to classes 
 for which entrance examinations are required unless they pass such examina-

 CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING. 
 
 The conditions established by the Carnegie Foundation in order 
 that institutions may participate in the benefits of the fund are as 
 follows: 
 
 Institutions of higher learning, including colleges, technical schools, and 
 universities, whose work is clearly of college or university grade, may be ad¬ 
 mitted to participation in the benefits of the retiring allowance system sustained 
 by the foundation. 
 
 Academic standing .—In order to be admitted to the retiring allowance system 
 of the foundation, the essential work of an institution must be that of higher 
 education, and of such a character that graduation from a four-year high-school 
 course, or equivalent training, is a prerequisite therefor. 
 
 The term “college” is used to designate, in the United States 1 * * * in¬ 
 
 stitutions varying so widely in requirements for admission, standards of instruc¬ 
 tion, and facilities for work, that for the purposes of this foundation some 
 arbitrary definition of that term is necessary. The following definition, in force 
 in the State of New York, will be employed: 
 
 1 The foundation’s list includes also institutions in Canada and Newfoundland. In this 
 bulletin, however, the names of all foreign institutions have been consistently omitted. 
 
LISTS OF VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS, 
 
 67 
 
 An institution to be ranked as a college must have at least six professors 
 giving their entire time to college and university work, a course of four full 
 years in liberal arts and sciences, and should require for admission not less 
 than the usual four years of academic or high-school preparation, or its equiva¬ 
 lent, in addition to the preacademic or grammar school studies. 
 
 A technical school, to be eligible, must have entrance and graduation require¬ 
 ments equivalent to those of the college, and must offer courses in pure and 
 
 applied science of equivalent grade. 
 
 ******* 
 
 A tax-supported institution must be in receipt of an annual income of not less 
 than $100,000. 
 
 An institution not supported by taxation, in order to meet the requirement 
 in regard to endowment, must have a productive endowment of not less than 
 $200,000 over and above any indebtedness of the institution. 
 
 In addition to the above conditions, the foundation specifies that, 
 in so far as denominational control is concerned, institutions eligible 
 to the benefits of the foundation are— 
 
 Colleges, universities, and technical schools of requisite academic grade, not 
 owned or controlled by a religious organization, whose acts of incorporation 
 or charters specifically provide that no denominational test shall be applied 
 in the choice of trustees, officers, or teachers, or in the admission of students.

 NORTH CENTRAL ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SECONDARY 
 
 SCHOOLS. 
 
 The following constitute the standards adopted by the association 
 for inclusion in its list of approved institutions: 
 
 The standard American college is a college with a four-year curriculum with 
 a tendency to differentiate its parts in such a way that the first two years are 
 a continuation of, and a supplement to, the work of secondary instruction 
 as given in the high school, while the last two years are shaped more or less 
 distinctly in the direction of special, professional, or university instruction. 
 
 The following constitute the standards for accrediting colleges for the present 
 year (1916) : 
 
 1. The minimum scholastic requirement of all college teachers shall be 
 equivalent to graduation from a college belonging to this association, and 
 graduate work equal at least to that required for a master’s degree. Graduate 
 study and training in research equivalent to that required for the Ph. D. degree 
 are urgently recommended, but the teacher’s success is to be determined by the 
 efficiency of his teaching, as well as by his research work. 
 
 2. The college shall require for admission not less than 14 secondary units, 
 as defined by this association. 
 
 3. The college shall require not less than 120 semester hours for graduation. 
 
 4. The college shall be provided with library and laboratory equipment suffi¬ 
 cient to develop fully and illustrate each course announced. 
 
 5. The college, if a corporate institution, shall possess a productive endow¬ 
 ment of not less than $200,000. 
 
 6. The college, if a tax-supported institution, shall receive an annual income 
 of not less than $100,000. 
 
 7. The college shall maintain at least eight distinct departments in liberal 
 
 arts, each with at least one professor giving full time to the college work in 
 that department. * 
 
 8. The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting, heating, and 
 ventilation of the rooms, the nature of the laboratories, corridors, closets, water 
 supply, school furniture, apparatus, and methods of cleaning shall be such as 
 to insure hygienic conditions for both students and teachers. 
 
 9. The number of hours of work given by each teacher will vary in the 
 different departments. To determine this, the amount of preparation required 
 for the class and the time needed for study to keep abreast of the subject, 
 
LISTS OF VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS, 
 
 69 
 
 together with the number of students, must be taken into account; but in no 
 case shall more than 18 hours per week be required, 15 being recommended 
 as a maximum. 
 
 10. The college must be able to prepare its graduates to enter recognized 
 graduate schools as candidates for advanced degrees. 
 
 11. The college should limit the number of students in a recitation or labora¬ 
 tory class to 30. 
 
 12. The character of the curriculum, the efficiency of instruction, the scientific 
 spirit, the standard for regular degrees, the conservatism in granting honorary 
 degrees, and the tone of the institution shall also be factors in determining 
 eligibility. 
 
 13. When an institution has, in addition to the college of liberal arts, pro¬ 
 fessional or technical schools or departments, the college of liberal arts shall 
 not be accepted for the approved list of the association unless the professional 
 or technical departments are of an acceptable grade.

PART IV.—JUNIOR COLLEGES. 
 
 ARIZONA. 
 
 There are no junior colleges in Arizona, but graduates of the State 
 normal schools are entitled to 30 units blanket credit at the Uni¬ 
 versity of Arizona. 
 
 ARKANSAS. 
 
 Crescent College, Eureka Springs, is the only junior college in the 
 State. It has been approved by the University of Arkansas on the 
 basis of the work offered in its courses being equivalent to the first 
 two years of work in the university courses. 
 
 CALIFORNIA. 
 
 The policy of the University of California with reference to 
 students entering from junior colleges is formulated by the recorder 
 of the faculties as follows: 
 
 THE JUNIOR COLLEGE AND THE UNIVERSITY. 
 
 It is the university’s policy to give a year’s credit for a year’s work on the 
 basis of credentials from other colleges, including junior colleges. Wherever 
 there is evidence that the institution is doing a full year of work beyond the 
 high school, the University will endeavor to give 32 units (slightly more in the 
 engineering colleges) and to distribute these 32 units in a way that will 
 equitably meet requirements for the junior certificate and the bachelor’s degree. 
 
 In the university, every lecture or recitation presupposes about two hours 
 of outside preparation. In laboratory courses, the amount of work completed 
 in the classroom is greater, and the amount of outside study relatively less, 
 than in courses conducted by lecture or recitation, but the aggregate amount of 
 work required for a unit of credit is in any case the same. It will therefore 
 be seen that the normal university schedule of 16 units per half year implies 
 about 48 hours per week of studious effort for 18 weeks. It has been esti¬ 
 mated that the junior colleges as they are at present organized may complete 
 32 units per year by requiring five courses concurrently, each class meeting 
 five periods per week in 40-minute periods throughout a 20-week semester. 
 The same result may be obtained by having the classes or some of them meet 
 four periods per week, the periods to be 45 or 50 minutes and the amount of 
 outside preparation for the classwork to be proportionately greater than would 
 be required if the meetings were five times weekly. 
 
 There is, of course, some danger in the situation so long as the university’s 
 test of the applicant’s proficiency is primarily a time test, rather than a 
 knowledge test. But the real unit for the application of the time test should 
 be the unit of studious endeavor in or out of class, rather than the aggregate 
 of hours or minutes spent in the classroom. 
 
 71 
 
72 
 
 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 For a four-study schedule, such as is indicated above, continued for two 
 years, we should expect in the ordinary case to give 64 units of credit. The 
 units of credit assigned to a single subject continued for one year would be 
 eight. 
 
 The successful articulation of junior-college work with university work will 
 naturally depend very largely upon the extent to which the junior college is 
 able to meet the varied departmental requirements of a large university. In 
 some highly specialized departments it may be difficult for the junior college 
 (as for any small institution) to afford adequate preparation. An example 
 would be the field of engineering. Similarly, the work that is now required of 
 premedical students (college laboratory courses in physics, chemistry, zoology, 
 embryology, etc.) is not easily obtainable outside of the universities. Archi¬ 
 tecture and agriculture are in a similar position. 
 
 The following memorandum was furnished by the recorder of the 
 faculties March 24, 1916: 
 
 As to the junior colleges, I will say that we have not yet attempted to make 
 a definite listing. We are still investigating and collecting evidence concerning 
 the organization of these institutions. In the meantime, we deal with the 
 junior colleges, in a general way, just as we deal with other collegiate 
 institutions. We get the chronology of the applicant’s high school and 
 later work and we evaluate the record just as we should evaluate it if it 
 came from an institution maintaining a four-year baccalaureate course. I hand 
 you herewith * * * a list of the junior colleges from which students have 
 already been received in junior standing in the University of California. I 
 suppose it would be quite safe to say of the junior colleges in this list that 
 they are “ accredited.” 
 
 California junior colleges from which students have been trans¬ 
 ferred to the university in junior standing: 
 
 Fresno Junior College, Fresno. 
 
 Fullerton Junior College, Fullerton. 
 Hollywood Junior College, Hollywood. 
 Los Angeles Junior College, Los Angeles. 
 
 Polytechnic Junior College, Los Angeles. 
 San Diego Junior College, San Diego.

 IDAHO. 
 
 College courses at the Idaho Technical Institute (located at Poca¬ 
 tello) are so arranged as to correspond with the first two years’ work 
 of the University of Idaho. 
 
 ILLINOIS. 
 
 The following are the standards and regulations governing the 
 accrediting of junior colleges by the University of Illinois: 
 
 STANDARDS. 
 
 1. The admission of high-school students to junior-college classes should be 
 limited to students of senior standing and of superior scholarship; “ superior 
 scholarship ” being interpreted to mean a rank within the first third of the class. 
 The number of even these picked high-school seniors in any junior-college class 
 should not in any case exceed one-half of the total membership of that class 
 and should ordinarily be limited to one-third the total membership of the class. 
 
JUNIOR COLLEGES. 
 
 73 
 
 2. The teachers in charge of the junior-college work in departments other 
 than manual arts should have a bachelor’s degree and should have had in addi¬ 
 tion at least a year of graduate study in the subject of their department in a 
 university of recognized standing. 
 
 3. The teaching schedule of any instructor doing junior-college work should 
 he limited to a maximum of 20 recitation periods per week (two laboratory 
 periods being counted as equivalent to one recitation period). 
 
 4. The junior-college course should be organized and conducted on a col¬ 
 legiate as distinguished from a high-school basis. College texts should be used 
 and should be supplemented with reference or other outside work of collegiate 
 character, and the amount of ground covered in a semester should approximate 
 that covered in corresponding college courses. 
 
 5. Junior-college classes should be provided with an adequate equipment of 
 space and of available laboratory and library facilities for strictly college work. 
 
 REGULATIONS. 
 
 1. For work done in junior-college classes for which the above standards are 
 approximately met, substantially hour-for-liour credit will be given at the time 
 of the student’s admission to the university, provided that the maximum credit 
 allowed shall not exceed 18 hours per semester. 
 
 2. For work done in junior-college classes for which the above standards are 
 only partially and semisatisfactorily met, substantially three-fourths credit in 
 college hours may be given at the time of the student’s admission, provided 
 that the maximum credit allowed shall not exceed 13| hours per semester. 
 
 3. A student who has been given partial credit on admission under the provi¬ 
 sion of paragraph 2 above may have such partial credit raised to full credit at 
 the end of his first year’s work in the university, provided (1) that he continues 
 in the university any specific subject in which he has received partial credit 
 and makes a grade of not less than 85 in that subject, or (2) if he does not 
 continue any specific subject in the university, that he makes an average grade 
 of not less than 85 in all the subjects of his first year’s work. 
 
 4. For fifth-year or sixth-year work, which is but slightly differentiated by 
 the above criterions from high-school work, substantially one-half credit in 
 college hours may be given at the time of the student’s admission, such credit 
 not to exceed nine hours per semester.

 teachers giving their entire time to teaching a course of two full years of 
 college grade (the equivalent of 60 semester hours in a recognized college) 
 and shall require for admission not less than 15 secondary units of prepara¬ 
 tion in a recognized four-year high school, or its equivalent. 
 
 Students of recognized junior colleges shall be accorded the rights and privi¬ 
 leges of the certificating law.

 MICHIGAN. 
 
 The junior college work of the following institutions has been 
 recognized by the University of Michigan: 
 
 Central High School, Detroit. | Grand Rapids High School. 
 
 MINNESOTA. 
 
 The standards adopted February, 1916, for judging Minnesota 
 schools, offering one or two years of college work, are as follows: 
 
 Under the conditions hereinafter specified the University of Minnesota will 
 recognize toward advanced standing credits earned in a school giving a college 
 course in part, provided such school complies with the following regulations: 
 
 A. GENERAL CONDITIONS. 
 
 1. Amount of work to be recognized. —The maximum amount of college work 
 to be recognized shall be two years, but in no case shall a second year’s work 
 he recognized until a school has for a reasonable length of time demonstrated 
 its ability to do the first year’s work satisfactorily. 
 
 2. Limit to length of time of recognition. —The normal period of recognition 
 shall be one year. Renewals shall he subject to the continued compliance of the 
 school with the standards. 
 
 * * * * * * * 
 
 B. SPECIFIC REGULATIONS. 
 
 * * ***** 
 
 2. Courses to be offered at the school. —At least one full year of college 
 work—that is, 14 to 16 credits—must be offered, consisting of courses in at 
 least four subjects with at least one subject in each of the three groups: Lan¬ 
 guage, science and mathematics, social sciences. 
 
 3. Students. —Students admitted to these courses must be graduates of second¬ 
 ary schools accredited by the university. 
 
 4. Teachers .— (a) Training and experience. All persons giving instruction in 
 such courses shall have done at least one full year’s work in a recognized 
 graduate school (ordinarily one year of gradute work in addition to at least 
 two years of undergraduate study in the subject taught) with special attention 
 to the subjects which they teach, and they must also have at least two years’ 
 successful experience as liigh-school teachers, or acceptable experience as college 
 teachers. 
 
 (b) Subjects and hours. Each instructor shall teach not more than two sub¬ 
 jects in the college division and shall not teach more than one five-period class 
 in the high school. When in the opinion of the committee the college enrollment 
 warrants, he shall give his full time to college teaching. The total amount of 
 his classroom work shall be not more than 17 hours. 
 
 (c) The work of the instructor shall show evidence of ability to stimulate 
 and hold the interest of his students so that they shall attain a mastery of and 
 a proper attitude of mind toward the subject taught. 
 
 5. Library and equipment. —Each department shall be provided with books 
 and apparatus sufficient to carry on its work in a proper manner. The books

 may be in part in a city library if they can be drawn out for students’ use 
 under suitable regulations. For the information of the teacher, to maintain 
 bis interest and to keep him in touch with the spirit of his subject, the list of 
 books must include both large reference works and two or three periodicals 
 representing scientific or research activity in the subject. Provision must be 
 made for reasonable additions to the library, involving an annual expenditure 
 of from $15 to $75 for each study, depending upon the original equipment avail¬ 
 able and the nature of the subject. 
 
 6. Inspection .—Equipment and work of departments in such schools shall be 
 inspected by qualified representatives of the corresponding university depart¬ 
 ments, appointed by the committee on the relation of the university to other 
 institutions of learning after consultation with the departments. These repre¬ 
 sentatives shall report their findings to the committee. 
 
 C. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS WITH ADVANCED CREDITS. 
 
 1. Students entering the university from a school whose work has been recog¬ 
 nized shall be allowed not more than 16 credits for each semester of such work, 
 provided the following conditions are fulfilled: 
 
 (a) All entrance requirements of the particular college in which the student 
 enrolls must be met. 
 
 (b) The student must present a statement showing that the work for which 
 credit is desired was completed in a satisfactory manner, and that he is entitled 
 to honorable dismissal on the basis of his character and conduct. 
 
 (c) All work for which credit is allowed must be in subjects which may be 
 counted toward a degree in the college in which the student enrolls. 
 
 The following high schools have recently begun work in their col¬ 
 lege departments under the above standards: 
 
 Cloquet High School. 
 Faribault High School. 
 Hibbing High School. 
 Jackson High School. 
 
 Rochester High School. 
 Stanley College, Minneapolis.

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 MISSOURI. 
 
 The minimum requirements which a junior college must meet in 
 order to be accredited by the University of Missouri are as follows: 1 
 
 1. The requirements for admission to the work of the college must be the 
 equivalent of those of the college of arts and science in the University of 
 Missouri. 
 
 High-school subjects which are required for admission are designated in terms 
 of “ units.” A unit is the equivalent of a subject pursued five 40-minute 
 periods a week for at least 36 weeks, except that in the cases of physical and 
 biological sciences, and certain other subjects, two or more of the five periods 
 each week must be double periods. 
 
 Fifteen units, the equivalent of a four years’ high-school course, are required 
 for entrance to the college of arts and science. Three units in English, one unit 
 in mathematics, and two units in one foreign language are fixed requirements. 
 The remaining nine may be selected from the following list, in which is indi¬ 
 cated the maximum and minimum number of units accepted in each subject.

 1 Must be preceded by the elementary courses in algebra and plane geometry. Credit for the advanced 
 courses in both algebra'and arithmetic are not accepted in the case of any individual student. 
 
 2 In cases where the study of physiology has been preceded by a year’s study of general biology, botany 
 or zoology. 
 
 3 The maximum amount of commercial and industrial subjects accepted is 4 units. 
 
 2. If a preparatory school is maintained in connection with the college, its 
 work must be approved by the University of Missouri. 
 
 3. The course of study in the college must be two years in length, and the 
 college year 36 weeks. 
 
 4. For graduation from the college, the student must complete satisfactorily 
 60 hours of work, which must be the equivalent of that required in the first two 
 years in the college of arts and science in the University of Missouri. This is 
 as follows: 
 
 (a) Six hours of English; (&) five hours of history; (c) five hours of ancient 
 languages and literature; (d) five hours of modern languages; ( e ) three hours 
 of mathematics or logic; (/) five hours of physical science (astronomy, chem¬ 
 istry, geology and mineralogy, physics) ; ( g ) five hours of biological science 
 (botany, experimental psychology, physiology, zoology). 
 
 These requirements may be waived on the following: 
 
 If the student presents 4 units for entrance in one of the requirements (&) 
 or (c), or 3 in ( d ) or (e), or 2 in (/) or (g), he will be excused from that

 requirement. Such exemptions do not excuse the student from the requirement 
 of a total of 60 hours for graduation. 
 
 By an hour is meant a 60-minute period of class work or a 120-minute 
 period of laboratory work (exclusive of preparatory instruction and study, 
 work upon notebooks that can be done outside of laboratory, etc.), each week 
 for one semester. 
 
 5. Students shall not be permitted to carry for credit work amounting to 
 more than 16 hours a week. 
 
 6. There must be a sufficient number of teachers to conduct the work without 
 crowding the classes or without assigning to individual teachers an excessive 
 amount or variety of work. 
 
 7. All college teachers should have had training equivalent to four years’ 
 work in a standard college, and it is desirable that they should have completed 
 one year’s graduate work. 
 
 8. There must be a laboratory for physical science and a laboratory for 
 biological science, each adequately equipped and sufficiently large to permit 
 easily of individual work upon the part of the students. 
 
 9. There must be an adequate library equipment. 
 
 10. The college must give satisfactory instruction in the work specified in the 
 fourth requirement and in addition must give satisfactory instruction in other 
 courses which the student may take in completing the conditions for graduation.

 There are no institutions in the State which are designated junior 
 colleges. There are, however, certain schools doing two years of 
 collegiate work which are inspected and approved on the same basis 
 as the colleges, and whose graduates are also given the advantage of 
 certification by the department of public instruction.

 The normal schools and one collegiate institution of the State are 
 recognized as junior colleges. Their graduates are given, credit in 
 the University of Oklahoma for such work of the freshman and 
 sophomore years as they have completed. The recognition of these 
 schools and the method of admitting their students to the university 
 correspond to the practice in the case of the colleges.

 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS, 
 
 TEXAS. 
 
 The minimum requirements for a junior college adopted by the 
 Texas State Teachers’ Association, March 7, 1914, are as follows: 
 
 1. It should require not less than 14 standard units for entrance. 
 
 2. It should add thereto two years of college work, or fifteen 60-minute hours 
 per week of recitations each year. 
 
 3. If courses are offered in science, above the academy, then it should have 
 laboratory equipment sufficient for all the experiments called for by such 
 courses—sufficiency to be measured by the value of the apparatus, which shall 
 be, in chemistry not less than $1,000, in physics not less than $2,000, and in 
 biology not less than $1,500. 
 
 4. It should have a library of not fewer than 2,000 volumes bearing specifi¬ 
 cally upon the subjects taught. 
 
 5. It should maintain at least five departments, with a professor exclusively 
 in charge of each. In the nature of the case, other teachers would be required. 
 They might be assistant professors or instructors in more than one department 
 each. As speedily as possible such school should go from five to six and 
 seven, and even more, full professors. The library and laboratories should 
 not lag in constant growth. 
 
 6. No teacher should be required to do more than 25 hours per week of 
 classroom work. 
 
 7. No student should be allowed to do more than 15 hours of classroom 
 work per week on a basis of 60 year-hours for graduation, i. e., as a rule 
 the student should be allowed only one-fourth of his degree work per year, 
 unless a student is a conditioned freshman with only half of his work in 
 advance. A student may take, in addition to 15 hours, a given amount of music 
 or other fine arts. 
 
 8. The equipment of the teachers should be approximately equal to that 
 of college teachers. 
 
 Junior colleges will be grouped in four classes as follows: 
 
 (1) Junior Colleges of Class A Plus. —This class includes institutions which 
 meet in full all the criteria of a junior college as adopted by the college sec¬ 
 tion of the Texas State Teachers’ Association. Students from such institutions 
 should receive liour-for-hour credit. 
 
 (2) Junior Colleges of Class A. —This class includes junior colleges which 
 approximate the standards set for Class A Plus, but fall short of it in certain 
 particulars. For example, a college which is slightly short of the standard set 
 for the library or laboratory equipment would fall in this class. Students 
 from institutions rated in Class A should receive a maximum of 13 session 
 hours per year, or their work in specified departments may be discounted, as 
 noted in the rating of the individual institution. 
 
 (3) Junior Colleges of Class B. —This class includes junior colleges which, 
 while of collegiate character and standards, fall short in more important par¬ 
 ticulars of the standards set for Class A Plus. Students from institutions 
 rated in Class B should receive approximately three-fourths credit up to a 
 maximum of 11 session hours per year, except in specific departments, as may 
 be noted in the rating of the individual institution. 
 
 (4) Junior Colleges of Class C. —This class includes junior colleges which, 
 while organized and designated as colleges, appear to be in reality little better 
 than secondary schools. Students from institutions of Class C should receive, 
 in departments to be specifically designated in each case, approximately one- 
 lialf credit up to a maximum of 71 session hours per year.

 SOUTHERN STATES. 
 
 By-law 6 of the association provides as follows: 
 
 To be accepted as a member of this association a junior college must meet the 
 following conditions: The college work must be the essential part of the cur¬ 
 riculum, and names of college students must be published separately; require¬ 
 ments for admission to college classes must be as in by-laws 3 and 4; 5 require¬ 
 ments for graduation must be based on the satisfactory completion of 30 year 
 hours of work corresponding in kind and grade to that given in the freshman 
 and sophomore years of colleges belonging to the association; the junior college 
 shall not confer a degree, but may award diplomas; the number of teachers, 
 their training, the amount of work assigned them, the number of college stu¬ 
 dents, the resources and equipment of the college are all vital factors in fixing 
 the standard of an institution and must be considered in accepting a junior 
 college for membership. On these points the executive committee shall make 
 regulations, and compliance therewith shall he a condition essential to their 
 recom mend a t i on.
