This subject must be chosen not later than the beginning of the junior year. TRAINING FOR TEACHERS Students who take certain required courses in the Department of Education receive upon graduation the University Certificate of Qualification to Teach, which entitles them to teach in all public schools of the state without examination. Grades earned at the State University in teachers’ certificate subjects are accepted in lieu of the regular state or county examinations, and are accredited to the certificate. Attendance at the State University education courses satisfies the law enacted by the last legislature which requires the completion of a twelve- weeks normal course as a prerequisite for a teacher’s certificate. UNIVERSITY LIFE The University is a place for men and women to work. Its object is to increase in its members their ability to do useful work and their capacity for en- joying the durable satisfactions of life. Many forms of activity and amusement have a legitimate part in University life; but their importance must never be so exaggerated as to hinder or obscure the main purpose. There is no place in the University for the insincere, the trifler, the loafer, or the incompetent. “If we are not here to do our best, the sooner we are away the better for all parties.” The Relation of Student and Adviser. Each student is assigned to a member of the faculty who acts as his adviser. Advisers assist the student in selecting and arranging his course of study. Ad- visers are always ready to discuss any matter, whether — 4 — or not directly concerned with University work, that is of interest or of moment to the student. Conduct. The University expects its members to show at all times and places the fullest respect for order, morality, personal honor, and the rights of others. Every mem- ber of the University carries the reputation of the University with him wherever he goes. Four-Quarter Plan. The University year is divided into four quarters of about twelve weeks each, extending over the whole year except the month of September. This plan en- ables a student who carries a normal amount of work to complete a college course in three calendar years instead of the usual four and at the same time have a month’s vacation each year. Reserve Officers Training Corps. All freshmen and sophomore men are members of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Members of the corps are eligible for special military training during the summer months. Students who have completed the required course are eligible for membership in the advanced course during their junior and senior years ; reserve officers commissions are open to those who complete the advanced course. Positions After Graduation. The deans of the professional schools keep in close touch with employers. There is a Board of Recom- mendations for teachers ; there are many more de- sirable positions than graduates to fill them. The University Campus and Missoula. The campus is located in a setting which is ideally picturesque ; it has been beautified by elms and maples and numerous other varieties of trees and shrubs, and by the cultivation of broad expanse of lawns. Imme- diately back of the group of University buildings is Mount Sentinel, itself a part of the campus, rising 2,000 feet above the campus level. To the south and west rise the rugged peaks of the Bitter Root moun- tains ; to the north is the jagged horizon formed by 2 So c g GO P AS o o cd 3 2 C5 cd S3 0) > •a iJJD Ho .8 S> § ^ R « S te) k <0 a V. <5 §> I 3* •§ s to -So 5 5q Names and addresses of friends who wish to attend college. the Jocko and Hellgate mountains, and between these ranges are the fertile Missoula, Bitter Root and Rat- tlesnake valleys. Earning One’s Own Way. Any young man or woman with good health, good habits and reasonable ability can work his own way through college. Many of those who make the greatest success both in college and in future life have earned their own way. Such students enjoy the highest re- spect and regard both of their fellow students and of the faculty. These cautions should be noted : A student coming to the University for the first time should by all means have sufficient money to pay expenses until he gets well started in his studies and has time to make connection with some profitable work. It is usually wise for a student who earns his own way to take less than the normal amount of college work even though this lengthens his college course. The University maintains an employment bureau conducted by a student employment secretary whose services are free to all students. Those who do not need to earn their own way should not undertake to do so, as the opportunities for student employment are naturally limited, and should be reserved mainly for those who can go to college only by supporting themselves. Athletics: The University maintains intra-mural athletics to the greatest possible extent. In the wom- en’s department full-scheduled tournaments are held for both co-ed organizations and the class teams and the men hold inter-fraternity, inter-class and inter- college contests. The women’s division competes in hockey, soccor football, basketball, indoor baseball, track and tennis while the men hold contests in foot- ball, baseball, basketball and track athletics. Athletic competition is allowed only after* a com- plete medical and physical examination. Intercollegiate athletics are maintained in the Uni- versity in football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, and wrestling. The University is a member of the — 8 — Northwest Collegiate Athletic Conference and plays most of the members of this conference in all of the above named sports. EXPENSES Fees: Tuition is free to all students. The following fees are required : Registration Fee, $10, payable annually in advance by each student in attendance during the autumn, winter or spring quarter. Students in regular attend- ance during the summer quarter pay a registration fee of $10. Returned soldiers are granted Military Service Scholarships which entitle them to remission of fees, except the Associated Students fee and laboratory deposits.

Registrar’s office keeps a list of approved rooms. APPLICATION FOR ROOMS IN RESIDENCE HALLS Applications for reservations of rooms in Craig Hall, the women’s dormitory, should be sent to the Registrar — 9 — of the State University, accompanied by a check or money order for ten dollars as a deposit. This deposit will be applied on the rent. On account of the demand for rooms early application should be made. The reser- vation may be cancelled by notifying the Registrar not less than a week before registration day in which case the fee will be refunded. Women students who do not live in Craig Hall must live in rooms approved by the University. A list of such rooms can be obtained from the Registrar. TRAVELING FARE REFUNDS Students of the State University whose residences are in the state of Montana may obtain traveling fare refunds once each year in accordance with the reg- ulations of the State Board of Education when the round trip fare exceeds five dollars by the most direct route. Only railroad fare, steamboat fare, and stage fare, actually paid, are to be refunded (no taxi, bag- gage, transfer, excess baggage charge, parlor or sleep- ing car fare, meals, hotel bills, or tips to be included). Important: In order to secure a refund the student is required to present receipts for the fares paid. These must be obtained when tickets are purchased or fares paid. Receipts should be filed at the Registrar’s office at the time of registration. WHEN TO ARRIVE. New students should arrive in Missoula a day or two before registration day in order to be ready for their University work.
