DART noun-JUNIUIZ COLLEGE History. The idea of the Junior College is cred- ited to Dr. William Harper, former president of the University Of Chicago, less than a half century ago. His idea was readily accepted by the leading educators the country over and today every state in the Union has given it full and unqualified recognition. No edu- cational institution in America, not even the public high school, has grown as rapidly in pupil enrollment and popularity, as the Junior College. Academically speak- ing, it is not a finishing school where the pupil's educa- tion ends upon graduation. Its purpose is to afford the pupil a wholesome environment in a small institu- tion in which high school graduates may pursue two years of college work under conditions which differ less radically from the high school itself than do those same years in the larger four-year colleges. Experience and statistics show that the number of college failures in the two-year Junior College are less than those in the four-year colleges, a.nd that Junior College graduates usually are better qualified no finish the last two years of college work without the grave dangers of scholastic failure. Some Advantages of a Military Junior College. Some of the advantages of the Junior College, and especially those of the Military Junior Colleges are non- refutable. These may be summed up as follows: HJ TI-IE JUNIOR COLLEGE provides for a well- planned and supervised curriculum paralleling the first two years of the four-year liberal arts school. A diploma is granted upon the satisfactory completion of the work thus providing a stopping place for those wanting some college training but who do not desire or find them- selves unable to spend four years in college. QZJ THE JUNIOR COLLEGE provides for a gradual transition from high school into college thus avoiding the serious and abrupt changes which too frequently come to t.he immature students who have not yet learned to budget either time or talent sufficiently to meet the strenuous demands of the large and frequently over-crowded universities. GJ THE JUNIOR COLLEGE offers to every pupil care- ful guidance in the selection of his course of study thus helping him to a broad cultural education with sufficient knowledge and a strong desire for more advanced study directed in his field of particular choice or professional career. f4J THE JUNIOR COLLEGE provides adequate instruc- tion in an institution particularly adapted under the most favorable environment to the particular needs of the individual. Small classes, supervised study, well- trained teachers whose interest is in teaching younger under-graduates, vocational as well as educational guid- E341 ance, and character building, constitute its fundamental philosophy. In addition to these and many other such advantages Castle Heights extends other peculiar advantages due to t.he organization and supervision such as only a mil- itary boarding school can offer: DJ CASTLE HEIGHTS presents a program of daily activity, both mental and physical, thus enhancing the pupil's social and cultural development by affording him little opportunity to waste his time in idleness on frivolous affairs. Q61 CASTLE HEIGHTS through its well-planned physi- cal program, not only makes it possible, but demands that every boy be taught that a sound body is essential for a sound mind. Health and physical growth are care- fully safeguarded by means of a well-planned and supervised program. f7J CASTLE HEIGHTS by means of its efficient military program affords the unique opportun' for training its students in the development of the hiits of obedience, alertness, neatness, initiative, responsibility and respect for self and others during the period of life when such training forms wholesome habits which are necessary for useful manhood and leadership. QSJ CASTLE HEIGHTS by means of its facilities as a boys' boarding school is carefully supervised twenty- four hours each day. Young men are taught the art of learning how to get along with others. Selfishness is discouraged and altruism is encouraged. Equal ad- vantages and opportunities are offered to all alike. Advancement and recognition are earned only by effort. The worthy is always recognized. Admission Requirements. The requirements for admission to the Junior College are the equivalent of those of the College of Arts and Science of the Uni- versity of Tennessee, or of any of the other recognized colleges or universities of the American Association of Colleges and Universities. A total of fifteen acceptable units is required for admission. Graduates of the fully recognized high school of their respective states who present the required units and who are recommended by their principal or superintendent as capable of doing satisfactory work will be admitted to the college without any further examination. The college is open to young men only and candidates for admission must furnish additional testimonials of good moral character. If a candidate transfers from another institution of higher learning the school from which he transfers must be of equal standing in order to receive any credit for any work thus far completed. Further- more, he must furnish evidence or a certificate of hon- orable dismissal before he will be accepted. In determining the fifteen units of high school credit

During the first semester the theory of production, dis- tribution, and consumption, the principles of banking, and international trade are studied. During the second semester our governmental system is viewed, and an exhaustive survey is made of such prob- lems as unemployment, labor unions, taxes, wages and hours, and tariffs. The student prepares papers on economic problems under careful supervision of the instructor, and in general practical economics supplants theoretical study.
