NORMAL COLLEGE OF NEW YORK CITY 
 
 AIM AND ORGANIZATION 
 
 The Normal College is intended for the higher education of young 
 women residing in any borough of New York City, who are prepared 
 to profit by its opportunities. It aims especially to educate those who 
 desire to enter the service of the city as teachers in the public schools. 
 It also includes students who are seeking an education for its culture- 
 value, -without the expectation of teaching; in many cases these also 
 eventually become teachers. Tuition, use of text-books, laboratory sup- 
 plies, etc., are free to all students. 
 
 The Normal College organization includes 
 
 1. The College proper, or Department of Arts and Sciences, with 
 a course which may be completed in three, or, if preferred, in four years. 
 
 2. Kindergarten Training Course; two years for high school grad- 
 uates, one year for college graduates. 
 
 3. High School Department; four years; its succession of subjects 
 the same as in the City High Schools. 
 
 4. Training Department; including a Kindergarten, a primary and 
 a grammar school; its course being the full eight years elementary course 
 of the public schools of New York City. It is used also as a model and 
 practice school for the training of teachers. 
 
 DEVELOPMENT 
 
 The Normal College of New York City was established in 1870, and 
 was given in 1888 the right to grant degrees, by charter from the State 
 of New York. 
 
 Admission was by annual examination in June, until February, 1904. 
 After the adoption of the half-year, instead of the year, as the unit of 
 promotion, the first entrances under the present system were admitted as 
 follows : into the first college year, from our own high school in February, 
 1907; from other high schools in February, 1906; and the first February 
 admissions into the first term of our own high schools in February, 1904. 
 
 Successive changes and extensions in the course of study have resulted 
 in graduations as follows : 
 
 1888-1901 inclusive, graduation with the degree of A.B., upon com- 
 pleting a voluntary “Academic Course” of five years; or graduation with 
 diploma upon completing a “Normal Course” of four years. 
 
 Graduation upon a compulsory five-years’ course began June, 1902; 
 the last class so graduating being that of June, 1905. 
 
 5 
 
Graduation upon a six -years’ course; the first voluntary graduates 
 of the six-years’ course were of June, 1903; the first compulsory, of 
 June, 1905; and the last compulsory, of June, 1907; a small number, a 
 “Special Graduating Class,” still remaining to graduate in accordance 
 with the provisions of the six-years’ course, in June, 1908. 
 
 With the extension of the course to seven years, a division was made 
 into a collegiate course of three years, preceded by a high-school course 
 of four years. For the latter, the City High School Course of Study, 
 with certain modifications regarding electives, was adopted in 1903. 
 
 Voluntary seventh-year graduations began in June of 1905 ; the first 
 compulsory seventh-year class being that of June, 1908. 
 
 Beginning Januarj^, 1902, all students entering college have been 
 required to complete this seven-years’ course; i.e., three years of college 
 following upon four years of the high school. 
 
 THE COLLEGE COURSE 
 
 1. For graduation with the degree of A.B., the Normal College 
 requires the satisfactory completion of work amounting to 60 points 
 (reckoned by the year; or 120 points if reckoned by the half year, or 
 20 weeks) ; that is, an average of 20 hours (recitation or equivalent) per 
 week for 3 years, or of 15 hours per week for 4 years. A “point” or 
 “credit” is the equivalent of recitation work of one hour (or period of 
 not less than 45 minutes) a week for a year; the recitation period being 
 understood to imply at least an equal period used in preparation. 
 
 2. Prescribed work is expected to occupy the first college year chiefly 
 or entirely, with an increase of optional subjects afterward. 
 
 3. Threefold composition of the course. The 60 “points” required 
 consist of three fundamental elements in nearly equal proportions, as 
 follows : 
 
 (a) Prescribed work (required of all students), about 20 points. 
 
 (b) Elective group of related subjects, to be continued for three 
 
 years, about 19 to 23 points. 
 
 (c) Optional and technical work, not necessarily connected with 
 
 the preceding, about 17 to 21 points; 13 points of this 
 may be taken from the technical subject of pedagogics, 
 which is itself an optional subject, not required of those 
 not intending to teach. 
 
 6 
 
4. Required work. For purposes of general culture, the course pre- 
 scribes to all students the following requirements : 
 
 (a) English (language, literature and composition), 3 hours for 
 
 2 years, following upon four years’ work in the High 
 School. 
 
 (b) Latin, 3 hrs., 1 yr. (except to students electing the Mathe- 
 
 matics or Science courses), following also upon four 
 years’ work in the High School. 
 
 (c) Science, 3 hrs., 1 yr. Geology is chosen because furnishing 
 
 a proper basis for the comprehension of those evolu- 
 tionary processes which lie at the basis of modern thought. 
 
 (d) History (Modern and Medieval History of Europe), 3 hrs., 
 
 1 yr., following upon 3 years’ work in the High School. 
 
 (e) Acquaintance with both French and German; three years’ 
 
 work in one of these languages being required for en- 
 trance; at least one year’s work in the other language is 
 required after entering. 
 
 (f) Practically all students also take courses of one-half year 
 
 each in Logic and Psychology; also in History of Edu- 
 cation and in the more technical subjects listed under 
 Pedagogics. 
 
 5. Elective Group to be chosen, in addition to the preceding required 
 subjects, to secure particular training in some one group of related sub- 
 jects and to permit the opportunity for guided specialization along the 
 line of the student’s aptitude and choice. It is believed that the range of 
 choice should not be unlimited, nor permit the dissipation of the student’s 
 energies over a series of totally unrelated subjects. Instead, a coherent 
 group of subjects is provided, either in classics, modern languages, natu- 
 ral science, or mathematics, and one of these groups must be chosen by 
 each student, to be pursued for the three years of the course, and consti- 
 tuting about one-third of her college work. The elective groups are in 
 outline, as follows : 
 
 (a) Mathematics ; Solid and Spherical Geometry, Plane and 
 
 Spherical Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra, Analytics, 
 Calculus, Advanced Physics ; with equivalents in Ad- 
 vanced Chemistry and other optionals accepted. 
 
 (b) Modern Languages; Advanced French, with subordinate 
 
 work in German ; or Advanced German, with subordinate 
 work in French. 
 
 / 
 
(e) Classics; Latin and Greek; Roman and Greek Life, and 
 Comparative Philology, or equivalents. 
 
 (d) Science; Physiology, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology, 
 Anthropology, History of Science. 
 
 6. Pedagogics. Training for the teacher’s profession is furnished 
 as an optional, open to all students, but not compulsory upon those who 
 do not intend to teach : 
 
 X 1st year. Logic and History of Education, each 3 hours for 
 one half year. 
 
 Y 2d year. Psychology, 2 hours ; Educational Classics, 1 ; with 
 1 hour Practice in 2d half year. 
 
 Z 3d year. Principles of Education, Class Management and 
 General Methods (4 credits) ; Model Lessons and Prac- 
 tice (1 credit) ; besides Special Methods in Drawing, 
 Music, Sewing and Physical Training (2 credits). 
 
 7. Optionals. A series of optional subjects (see Tabular Views) are 
 provided, from which the student may make selection in addition to her 
 choice of elective group. Modifications or additions, among optionals and 
 electives, may be made by the Faculty in response to sufficient need : and 
 the student enters upon her course with that understanding. Every stu- 
 dent who would graduate in three years must take sufficient optional 
 work to make her program average at least 20 points or credits each 
 year.

SYNOPSIS OF COLLEGE COURSES 
 
 College courses printed in this Bulletin have been already in operation 
 in 1907 or earlier, with exception of the few marked §. 
 
 Half-year courses, as a rule, are arranged in consecutive pairs, each 
 pair constituting a year’s work; in which the work must be continued 
 throughout the year in order to count toward graduation. In Latin, Greek, 
 Mathematics and Natural Science, however, a part or all of the half-year 
 courses count separately; such courses are marked by the dagger (f). 
 
 Note that certain courses here printed as extending through the year 
 may occasionally be given in half a year only, with doubled periods. 
 
 Modifications and additions, among optionals and electives, may be 
 occasionally made upon vote of the Faculty. 
 
 Note that where the word “hours” is used, it refers to number of 
 periods per week. The numbers given (in Tabular Views, etc.) are the 
 number of credits or points assigned to the subject and usually are the 
 same with the number of its recitation periods per week. Numbers with 
 an asterisk prefixed call for one additional period o-f unprepared work; 
 
 those with the double-dagger ($) require two additional periods. 
 
 Courses are numbered in semi-annual succession or by the half-year. 
 
 Numbers 1-10 are reserved for use in the High School Department. 
 
 Numbers 11+ are reserved for successive college courses ; the numbers 
 11-12 locate a subject in the 1st or 2d term of the 1st year; 13-14 in the 
 2d year; i.e., 3d and 4th terms; 15-16 in the 3d year; i.e., 5th and 6th 
 terms. 
 
 Numbers 21+ are reserved for parallel or additional courses, 21-22 in 
 the 1st year, 23-24 in the 2d, 25-26 in the 3d, etc. 
 
 Numbers 31+ are occasionally used for other supplementary courses 
 in a similar manner. 
 
 Numbers 1+ are used of certain college courses which are not liable 
 to confusion with subjects in the High School, as Psychology 1-2. 
 
 Courses marked R.-S., etc., are courses which are not in continuous 
 series with certain similar courses in the High School ; as German when 
 begun in the 1st term of 1st college year, which is known as German R. 
 
 Early letters of the alphabet, as A, B, etc., are used chiefly to desig- 
 nate subdivisions for recitation purposes; as the recitation groups English 
 11+ 11», etc.

 here printed, going into effect in full, for the 1st to 5th terms inclusive, 
 with September, 1907, and for the 6th, 7th and 8th terms with September, 
 1908. 
 
 Classes in all of the following High School Courses have been already 
 organized or are now, June, 1907, in course of instruction; excepting those
