In such case he may enter the second course of the language and will be able to fulfill the requirements by taking in addition to the second course live hours of another language. Under no conditions, regardless of the above excep- tions, will a student be permitted to graduate with a total of less than sixty f60j semester hours of purely academic work. Credits earned in the Military and required Physical Education program cannot be sub- stituted for any of the sixty hours. It is important that each student become fully fa- miliar with the general requirements as outlined above. It is the purpose of the Junior College to parallel the first two years work along the practices and require- ments of the better colleges and universities throughout the country. Such schools generally are unwilling for any student to indulge in narrow specialization too early in his academic career. It is better that he have a broad view of the fields of general knowledge. The time for concentration and specialization comes in the professional school, which generally begins at the end of the sophomore year, or else is deferred to the graduate schools. The requirements for graduation from each particular department are listed along with the tabulation of these various courses on another page of the catalog. Scholarship Rating. In addition to a total of sixty hours required for graduation each student also must have accumulated at least one hundred and twenty f120l grade points. For the purpose of arriving at the value of grade points all numerical grades are translated into letter grades based upon a graduated scale from A, which is the highest grade and denotes excellence, down to D, which is barely passing and is unsatisfactory. F denotes failure. The accumulated grade points are arrived at in the following way: 1. For ited with each semester grade of A, the student is cred- four credit points. 2. For each semester grade of B, three credit points. 3. For each semester grade of C, two credit points. 4. For each semester grade of D, one credit point. U81 5. For each semester mark of condition QE, , no credit point. 6. For each semester mark of failure QFQ, no credit point. No student will be permitted to graduate from the college who does not receive during the last semester that he is enrolled in the school an average of two credit points for every semester course offered for graduation. No student entering the Junior College with advanced standing shall be permited to graduate from this insti- tution unless he receives an average of two credit points for each semester course completed while here. Degrees Offered. The title of Associate of Arts is conferred upon all graduates who fulfill the require- ments of the University Preparatory diploma from the Castle Heights junior College, except those who have been enrolled in the pre-Engineering and similar courses. The title Associate of Science will be conferred upon these. The associate degree is a recognized degree conferred by Junior Colleges upon their graduates. Faculty and Curriculum. 1. THE FACULTY- The faculty of the college consists of the president, the dean, and the approved faculty oflicers. Each member is carefully chosen and must hold, as the minimum qualification, at least the Master's degree. Even then he will be permitted to teach only in those subjects in which he has a Major and a strong Minor. In addition to the educational qualifications the fac- ulty oflicer is carefully selected upon his knowledge of youth and especially his understanding and ability to get along with young men and his ability to inspire confidence and leadership. 2. THE CURRICULUM-The curriculum of the Junior College is organized into the following departments of pre-professional courses: Kal LIBERAL ARTS: The Liberal Arts course parallels that which is usually found in the regular approved four-year Liberal Arts Colleges. Here the emphasis is placed upon English, mathematics, foreign languages and the humanities. This course is designed for the pupil who is seeking only a cultural education or for the one who has not yet made up his mind as to what particular profession he wishes to enter later in life. fbl PRE-LEGAL: This curriculum is particularly set up to prepare the student for the actual study of law. All first class law schools today are requiring at least two years of college work along certain approved courses before the student is admitted to the study of law. The junior College's pre-legal course meets the most scrutinizing requirements of such schools. fel PRE-AVIATION: Never before in the history of the country have young men been so much interested in aviation or aeronautics. The government has taken the lead in encouraging this particular phase of our Na- tional Defense program. At present it is possible for a young man, who has completed one year of college

work, to enter the government flying service and obtain his commission in either the Army or Navy within a year, providing his college course of study is accepted and he passes the flying tests. While taking the govern- ment training the cadet receives the same pay and maintenance allowance as the West Point or Annapolis cadet. The pre-aviation course satisfies the scholastic de- mands as an aviation student. If on the other hand he turns to aeronautical engineering he also has the basic course which is required over the first two years. fdl PRE-COMMERCE: Many of the colleges and uni- versities are now requiring at least two years of carefully chosen college work before admitting a student to the school of business or commerce and finance. This, fundamentally, is a sound practice in as much' as it provides for both a cultural and pre-business back- ground.

Such courses as Economics, Accounting, Money Credit and Banking, and Political Science are stressed during these two years. These all conform to the recommendation and requirements of the regular four-year colleges. fel PRE-joURNALIsM: The school of journalism is one of the youngest and fastest growing of all of our professional schools. It affords many splendid oppor- tunities for the training of journalist, newspaper people and advertisers. Two years of college work, however, are generally required for admission to the journalistic schools. Such subjects as written and oral English, social and political sciences, and a-foreign language are the general pre-requisites. The pre-journalism course covers these very subjects to the rigid satisfaction of all such colleges.
