SCHOLARSHIPS.

Applications for scholarships should be filed with the Dean not later than September fifteenth. All scholarships except the Kendall Scholarship and the University Scholarships are awarded for one year only, but they may be renewed. Any student holding a scholarship who fails to obtain a general average of 85 per cent on the work of any term or whose deportment is unsatisfactory will be reported to the President's Council, and in the absence of extenuating circumstances the scholarship will be revoked.

Scholarships for Competition.

The University offers the following scholarships to be awarded on competitive examination. Candidates for these scholarships take the May entrance examinations for the undergraduate course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts or the degree of Bachelor of Science, as they shall elect, and on the results of these examinations the scholarships are assigned. Holders of these scholarships are expected to pursue a regular course in the Department of Arts and Sciences leading to a degree. No scholarship is awarded to a candidate whose examination average is below 80 per cent.

KENDALL SCHOLARSHIP.-The Kendall Scholarship, founded by the late Hon. Amos Kendall, is annually conferred on that member of the graduating class of any of the Washington High Schools who attains the highest average in the entrance examinations. This scholarship continues throughout the undergraduate course, and the student holding it pays only the matriculation, library, laboratory, and graduation fees.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS.-The University offers also six scholarships, each continuing throughout the undergraduate course, to be awarded annually to members of the graduating classes of any of the Washington High Schools. The scholarships are divided, so far as the general averages will permit, among the several schools in proportion to the number of students in attendance upon each. Three scholarships are offered to young men and three to young women. These scholarships continue throughout the undergraduate course, and students holding them pay only the matriculation, library, laboratory, and graduation fees.

Scholarships for Assignment.

DAVIS SCHOLARSHIP.-This is the income of a fund of one thousand dollars given to the University in October, 1869, by Hon. Isaac Davis, of Massachusetts.

Mary Lowell StonE SCHOLARSHIP.—This scholarship was founded by a woman in memory of a woman student of science. It consists of a fund of two thousand dollars, the income from which is to be paid to needy women students of science in the University.

MARIA M. Carter ScholarSHIP.-This is the income of a fund of one thousand dollars given to the University in 1871 by Mrs. Maria M. Carter.

FARNHAM SCHOLARSHIP.-This is the income of a fund of one thousand dollars given to the University in 1871 by Mrs. Robert Farnham.

Ministerial Scholarships.

Students in regular courses preparing for the Christian Ministry, and not yet ordained, are exempt from tuition charges. Such students pay the matriculation, library, laboratory, and graduation fees.

Students in regular courses who are children of clergymen financially dependent wholly or in part upon their parents are exempt from onehalf of all tuition charges. Such students pay the matriculation, library, laboratory, and graduation fees.

DAVIS PRIZE SPEAKING.

The Davis Prize Speaking is held in University Hall on the Tuesday after the Easter holidays. The Davis Prizes were founded by Hon. Isaac Davis, of Massachusetts, in 1847. The original endowment was five hundred dollars, "proceeds of which will afford three premiums, in cash or gold medals, of the value of $5, of $10, and of $15 annually— these premiums or prizes to be distributed annually to such members of the Senior Class as shall have made the greatest progress in elocution since their connection with the College."

The award of these three prizes is determined by a public speaking contest, in which the participants deliver original orations. Senior students wishing to enter the competition should report to the Dean of the College not later than five weeks before the contest, and submit their orations not later than three weeks before the contest. The prizes. are awarded by a committee consisting of three members, selected by the Executive Faculty of the College.

ENOSINIAN SOCIETY.

The Enosinian Society, a literary association, to which any University student is eligble, meets regularly for the purpose of improvement in debate and composition.

This society had its beginning March 6, 1822, during the first session of Columbian College, when a number of students held a meeting "for the purpose of establishing a debating society."

RELIGIOUS WORK.

The student movement in Association work is represented by the Young Men's Christian Association of the University, which was organized in the fall of 1905. The Association plans and conducts religious work among the men of the University. The Association calendar includes Bible study clubs, a weekly chapel service, and occasional men's meetings.

Similar lines of religious work are conducted among the women students by the Young Women's Christian Association of the College.

A chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was organized March 10, 1910, and a charter has since been granted.

Lectures and discussions on the subject of Christian missions are conducted by members of the College Faculty.

THE COLLEGE CHAPEL.

The College Chapel is held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, at 12 o'clock, throughout the academic year. These chapel services are conducted by the Faculty. On Friday at 12 o'clock there are two services, conducted respectively by the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association.

The Dean of the College will confer with students as they may desire on questions concerning their welfare and will coöperate with them in all ways to make the college life one of personal helpfulness.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MECHANIC ARTS.

The session of 1910-1911 begins Wednesday, September 28, 1910.

ADMISSION.

Every applicant for admission is required to present a testimonial of good character, and also a certificate of standing and regular dismissal from the school or college which he has attended or from the tutor with whom he has studied.

Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class may present certificates of admission or take an examination in the required subjects. Certificates, in lieu of any or all examinations, will be accepted from schools whose work is attested by well-prepared students admitted to the University in previous years, and from schools desiring coöperation with the University, that present evidence of affording adequate preparation in the required subjects. The Secretary of the University will, on application, furnish certificate blanks to the principals of such accredited schools.

The certificate of the College Entrance Examination Board will be accepted in so far as the subjects specified meet the requirements for admission.

The certificate of the Washington high schools covering all the requirements for admission admits students without examination to the courses of the Freshman year.

The certificates of all schools accredited to the University will be accepted in so far as they meet the requirements for admission.

The general requirement for admission is a four-year high school course, or its equivalent, consisting of five recitations per week in four or more topics. The high school studies which may be presented in satisfaction of the requirements of admission are given on pages 47-53 of this catalogue.

Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class in the College of Engineering are required to present fifteen units for admission, distributed as follows:

NOTE-The modern language requirement may be satisfied by presenting four units in one language, or two units in French and two units in German. Students who present four units in one language will study the other language two years in College. Students who present two units in French and two units in German will study each language one year in College.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING.

Candidates for admission to advanced classes in any department are examined in all indispensable preliminary studies.

Due credit is given for properly certified courses of study pursued in other colleges and universities.

ADMISSION TO SPECIAL COURSES.

All the courses of instruction are open to students of suitable age and attainments who wish, without reference to any degree, to pursue special studies. Candidates must show that they are familiar with the subjects preliminary to the studies which they wish to pursue.

COURSES FOR A DEGREE.

Three courses of study are offered:

I. CIVIL ENGINEERING.

II. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
III. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.

These courses occupy four years each, and lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, in Electrical Engineering, and in Mechanical Engineering, respectively. Graduate courses of one year under the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the George Washington University are open to those who receive the above degrees, and lead, respectively, to the degrees of Civil Engineer, Electrical Engineer, and Mechanical Engineer.

The courses in engineering are planned to give the student a thorough understanding of the theory underlying engineering practice, and such a practical knowledge of the instruments and methods of his particular profession as will enable him to apply the theory properly. In all the courses a thorough training in mathematics, pure and applied, and in drawing and descriptive geometry is required as the basis of the analytical and graphical study of engineering topics. Much stress is laid on the work in the drawing-room and laboratory. The work is planned to give him a thorough knowledge of principles upon which he may build, and by which he may be able to solve the new problems he meets in practice.
