Address all communications to UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE, Academic Department, 115 West Broadway. The University does not offer any courses in studies prepara- tory for college. There are several good secondary schools in Louisville, and three good public high schools, in any of which students may receive adequate preparation. Classes for beginners in the ancient and modern languages are organized in the col- lege, however, for the benefit of those who may wish after enter- ing the University to commence the study of these languages, but these courses do not count for honors and may not be taken to remove an admission condition. Undergraduate and graduate courses are offered in sixteen departments. 3 General Information, The University. The University of Louisville was chartered by an act of the Legislature of Kentucky approved February 7, 1846, and was given power to establish “all the departments of the University for the promotion of every branch of science, literature, and the liberal arts.” The Colleges of Medicine and of Law in the University have been in active operation since that time. The present Literary Department was opened in September, 1907, and comprises the College of Liberal Arts and the Graduate School of Liberal Arts. The University of Louisville has about seven thousand alumni from all of its schools. Co-Educational. The College of Liberal Arts is co-educational. 4 University Calendar, College of Liberal Arts.

Students desiring to add to their resources may do so by finding remunerative employment for a part of their time; but this privilege is granted only by consent of the authorities of the University. 6 Requirements for Admission. A student is not eligible for admission (examinations) until he has completed the full course of a good high school, or its equiva- lent. Reckoning one year’s work of daily recitations for nine calendar months as a unit, a student must be able to show proper credentials for eighteen units of such work before he becomes a candidate for admission. Of the eighteen units required, four- teen are prescribed and four are elective. The certificates of the high schools of Louisville, New Albany, Jeffersonville, and others of acceptable rank will admit the holder without examination. 1. Prescribed subjects, fourteen units, as follows: 1. Mathematics, three years, three units. 2. English Language and Literature, three years, three units. 3. Six points, distributed between two foreign lan- guages. 4. Science, one year, one unit. 5. History, one year, one unit. 2. Elective subjects, four units. The four units of elective subjects may be chosen from almost any studies taught in a good high school, either in equivalent subjects not mentioned in the prescribed list above, or in advanced work in the prescribed elementary branches. Certificates. Students entering from other institutions must have certificates of honorable dismissal, and the amount of work done must be properly certified, both as to time and subjects. If the admission requirements of the University are satisfied, and if the school from which the certificate is offered belongs to the class accredited by the University, the candidate will be admitted without examination. Conditioned Students. In some instances students who have not entirely completed their preparatory work may be admitted 7 on condition in the deficient subjects, but they must remove the conditions by making up the deficiencies in some preparatory or high school. All admission conditions must be removed before the student enters upon the work of the second year. Special Students. Students of proper age who desire work in any department of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may be admitted as special students upon the recommendation of the head of the department in which work is sought. The recommendation of the instructor is based in each case upon a satisfactory examination of the applicant. Advanced Standing. To entitle a student to advanced stand- ing, (1) a letter of honorable dismissal from the last institution attended, (2) a certificate of work in a college the curriculum and entrance requirements of which are equal to those of the University, and (3) an examination covering courses previously taken, are all necessary. In special cases examination may not be insisted on. Degrees. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers three under- graduate courses and three graduate courses ; the undergraduate courses are the Classical, the Philosophical, and the Scientific, the first two of which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and the last one to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The graduate courses are in the Classics, Science, and Phi- losophy, and lead to the degree of Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy, respectively. The two courses leading to the Bachelor's degree in the arts are practically equivalent, and are also equivalent to the course leading to the Bachelor’s degree in science. The three courses require almost the same quantity of work and about the same amount of time, but they differ somewhat in the character of their training. The undergraduate classical and philosophical courses require for completion four years of work equivalent to eighteen hours a week each; the undergraduate scientific course requires four years of twenty hours a week, including laboratory work. 8 Of the graduate courses, the classical and scientific each re- quire one year of work, equivalent to sixteen hours a week from the Bachelor’s standing, and lead respectively to the degree of Master of Arts and Master of Science; the philosophical course requires two years’ work, together equivalent to thirty-two hours a week from the Master’s standing, and other special conditions, and leads to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In a general way, the first two years’ work in all the under- graduate courses is prescribed and the remainder is elective ; that is, estimating the work in an undergraduate course as sixteen units, eight units are prescribed and the others are elective. Enough of the fundamental work of the course is prescribed to preserve its essential unity, while sufficient choice is permitted to enable students to gratify individual tastes and purposes. The following rules govern the granting of degrees: 1. No credit is given for work done in absentia. 2. All candidates must be in good standing in every depart- ment in which credits are desired. The Master’s degree is conferred only upon such candidates as have attained the Bachelor’s degree in this University, or in some other institution of equal grade. 4. A candidate for the Master’s degree must make an aver- age of eighty-five in every department in which he works. 5. Candidates for a degree must spend at least the last year of their course in residence at the University. 6. No candidate is admitted to graduate courses without the consent of the Committee on Graduate Courses. 7. No course counted for a baccalaureate or professional degree will be counted toward a Master’s degree. 8. For the Master’s degree a major and at least one minor subject, comprising a graduate course of work equivalent to six- teen hours a week for one year, must be chosen by the advice and consent of the Committee on Graduate Courses ; and a thesis, approved by the head of the department in which the major sub- ject is pursued, must be submitted not later than one month before Commencement. 9 9. The Doctor’s degree requires not only a graduate course of work equivalent to sixteen hours a week for two years from the Master’s standing, but also special conditions satisfied only with the consent of the Committee on Graduate Courses. Honors. Undergraduate candidates for a degree making an average of 90 or more are designated as honor students. The first honor is awarded to the honor student making the highest average mark, and this student becomes the valedictorian; the salutatory is awarded to the student who is next highest in rank, and the class address to the student who ranks third. io Departments and Courses of Instruction. 1908 — 1909 .
