The administrative authorities are anxious that those students should not only have a profitable sojourn in our universities, but should retain pleasant associations of them. The Institute of International Education is therefore glad to publish this bulletin which will facilitate the entrance and study of these students, and enable them to avoid some of the obstacles to a happy orientation in our universities. In this way may be realized the object for which it exists, namely, the development of international good- will by means of educational agencies. Stephen P. Duggan Director THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Educational Facilities in the United States for South Africa?! Students INTRODUCTION Towards the end of 1920 a Federation of South African students in America was formed with the threefold pur- pose of— 1. Disseminating information to South African stu- dents intending to pursue their studies in American insti- tutions concerning the educational faciHties in this country ; 2. Meeting and assisting students and other South Africans on their arrival in this country; 3. Maintaining South African ideals and uniting at least once or twice a year to celebrate a national holiday like Dingaan's day, etc. Owing to the ever-increasing amount and variety of inquiries from students in South Africa who wish to pursue their studies in this country the following pamphlet was drawn up by the above mentioned Federation with the generous assistance and under the auspices of the Insti- tute of International Education (419 West 117th Street, New York) . Though it is merely a general statement touching only the essential points like: When to come? How much will it cost? Can I earn my way through? Where to go? How long will it take me? What work done in South Africa is recognized here?, . . . we nevertheless hope Institute of International Education that the Information given will be of assistance and guidance to Intending students In their preparation for and choice of prospective studies in this country. Those desiring more detailed information will be able to find it In the libraries of the universities and university colleges; In the agricultural colleges and In the education departments of the four provinces and in the Union Educational Department. When to come The academic year of the American universities begins in September and ends In June. The year is usually divided into two semesters : (a) the winter semester which runs from September to February ist and {b) the spring semester which usually begins the very next day and continues till June. It is therefore essential for all South African students, especially undergraduates, to arrive here not later than the end of August so as to start in at the beginning of the academic year. Only in rare instances is it possible to fall in with advantage in Febru- ary in the middle of the year's work. During the four moiith's summer vacation which runs from about the middle of June, most of the larger uni- versities have a summer session of about six weeks during the months of July and August. Some of the far western universities open In August and close in May, Chicago University divides its aca- demic year into four quarters beginning in September and including the summer session. If a student landing In a sea-port like New York or Boston is unacquainted with anybody In that city who can meet him, he will be met by a South African at the docks If he sends in good time the name of the steamship line and of the boat and probable time of arrival to the General Secretary of the South African Students' Educational Facilities for South African Students 5 Federation, Care of The Inter-collegiate Cosmo- politan Club, 2929 Broadway, New York. This is the Federation's permanent address. How much will it cost? Although expenses vary according to the place where a man studies; living being cheaper in a small university town than in a big city, and also cheaper in a western or middlewestern than in an eastern university, the least that a student must at present be prepared for is £joo per annum during his stay in America, everything except his ship expenses being included. Tuition fees in the larger universities vary from about $300 downward. These can be ascertained in each par- ticular calendar. Single rooms, rented per week, cost on an average $250 for the whole year in the cities and somewhat less in the smaller university towns like Ann Arbor, Ithaca, Champlain, New Haven, Princeton, etc. Laundry is always extra. Meals have mostly to be taken at the restaurants and amount to about $350 per annum. Some students cook their own meals and thereby decrease these expenses somewhat. Only rarely can board be had together with rooms. As an example, women studying at Teachers College, Columbia University, can get room and board for about $460 for the academic year. Students should note that the above figures are all given for a twelve-month year. When figures are given in the calendars for an academic year students should remember that that covers only about eight months. Students ought to locate on the map the university where they intend to study, so that they may get an idea of the number of miles of railway travel that will be involved. It costs almost as much to travel from New York to a Western university as it costs to come from England to America. Institute of International Education Can I Earn My Way Through? This becomes increasingly difficult owing to the present economic situation. In the past several students have succeeded in getting part-time work. For example, some who take commercial courses in the evening earn during the day and at the same time gain experience in practical business. In the long summer vacation many go out to work on farms and succeed in covering their living and travelling expenses during that time with perhaps a small sum to the good at the end. For those specializing in Education, tutoring has been a means of earning a little extra. There is a special demand in the schools and uni- versities for part-time teachers who are proficient in science and mathematics. Certain kinds of hospital work often bring in a little remuneration for medical students. Waiting at restaurants or helping in libraries have also been means of earning money. At all the large universities there are student employ- ment bureaus whose sole function is to aid students in this way. It must be remembered, however, that if a student does extra evening work to any great extent during the aca- demic year he does proportionately less college work. (See Credit System.) Lastly, it is very important for a student to remember that he cannot wholly rely on what he may earn. It takes considerable time before he gets used enough to his new surroundings to find any job. In every case, no student must \'enture to come out for study here, unless he has at least provided for himself financially for the first six months. How Long Will It Take Me? This will depend on the kind of profession or course a student wishes to take and on his previous education. Educational Facilities for South African Students 7 The professional courses differ in their requirements as will be seen below under the different headings : Engineer- ing, Medicine, Education, etc. The following remarks may, however, give a general idea of the American university degrees and of the so- called "Credit System" of hours or points in a given course. Where it takes three years college work for a Bachelor's Degree in South Africa, most of the larger American universities require four academic years for an A.B., B.S., or Ph.B., one to two years extra for the Master's Degree (with, or without a thesis) and one and one-half to three or more years after the Master's for the Ph.D. — depending entirely upon the educational background of an individual candidate and upon how far he has already advanced in his special problem or thesis before entering the university. The reasons for this will be made clear presently. THE CREDIT SYSTEM Students from foreign countries are not a little confused when reading about points and credits in the American university calendars. Therefore, a short word of explana- tion may be necessary in this connection. A particular course in the calendar is put down as counting two or three or more points (or hours) per semester or session, as the case may be. This represents roughly the amount of time of work in lectures and in preparation that is expected to be devoted to it. A student "gets his points" {i. e., passes his course) if he has both attended regularly, done the work, and passed the examination in this par- ticular subject at the end of the semester. The average student takes about fifteen points per semester. This will lead him to complete the one hundred and twenty points that is normally required for the Bachelor's Degree in four years. (At the rate of thirty Institute of International Education points a year.) In some universities tuition fees are a fixed sum per semester; in others again, like Columbia, Chicago, etc., they are proportional to the number of points taken. In some State colleges no fees are charged to a student after he has been a resident in the country for one year. This system enables students to work almost at any rate they please within the limits of human possibility. Some students who do outside work to earn a living carry proportionally less points, and it will take them cor- respondingly longer to get the full number of points required for a degree. Other students, with ability and energy enough to devote every possible moment to study- ing, may considerably shorten their period of study by carrying more than the average number of points per semester and by attending Summer-sessions where from six to eight points per session may be earned. It is, how- ever, advisable that during the first semester students do not take more than the normal number of points, since it usually takes some time to become adapted to the new conditions of work. When, therefore, a calendar says that it requires a minimum of sixty to seventy-five points post graduate work for the Ph.D., candidates must remember that whatever time is devoted to the Ph.D. thesis must be added to the two years or m.ore; and this will vary, as has been said before, with the difficulty of the problem and the amount of work already done upon it. If candi- dates prefer to work on their dissertation contemporane- ously with their class work (as very many do) it will only mean that the required number of points will be spread out over a longer period of time than an individual puts in on his work. In the case of the higher degrees the number of points are given simply as a general indication of the time and Educational Facilities for South African Students 9 work that will be involved. It is not prescribed in any sense nor in every case is it strictly adhered to. In each individual case it depends entirely on the general status of scholarship attained, and on the judgment of the faculty of the department in which a candidate is majoring as to whether he is fully qualified to proceed to the final ex- amination, or not. In most cases the number of points indicated will be a bare minimum. THE RECOGNITION OF SOUTH AFRICAN DEGREES For entrance into college the matriculation certificate is recognized throughout, as is the Senior Certificate in cases where students are going to specialize in unacademic fields like agriculture, domestic science, business, etc. When a student has a Bachelor's degree from any of the universities of Cape Town, Stellenbosch, South Africa, or the old Cape of Good Hope, he is given at once the status of a graduate student and allowed to proceed with post-graduate work. As regards the length of time and amount of work required for the succeeding degrees, the Master's and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees, it will, as has been said above, in every case depend on individual merit, the amount of work already done in the particular field, and whether the student has had the proper constitu- ent courses in his background which will warrant him to go on in the professional courses. Thus, for example, a stu- dent wishing to major in engineering must have had kindred subjects like mathematics, etc., for his B.A., or a student majoring in commerce must have had the required grounding in (say) history and languages as constituents of his collegiate work. As will be seen later, the entrance requirements for some of the professional courses are only two years of college work instead of a Bachelor's degree. Recognition of this will also depend on its being of the required prepara- lo Institute of International Education tory nature. Details of these requirements will be found in the catalogues of the various universities. In general the minimum requirement for entrance into any profes- sional school is two years' college w^ork or graduation from a French L^^cee or German Gymnasium. (N.B. It cannot, however, be urged too strongly that students in every case bring along with them their certificates, a detailed statement of the amount of work they have done, together with the calendar of the university or college in which they studied.) MEDICINE South African students wishing to pursue the study of medicine in the United States must take into account the regulations of the South African Medical Council regard- ing the recognition of foreign medical degrees. At present only the following American medical colleges are recog- nized by the Medical Council in South Africa: Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Tufts, Yale, Jefferson Medical Col- lege, Bellevue Hospital Medical College, Rush Medical College, University of California Medical College. Under the existing regulations South African students would do well to select one or another of the above-named institu- tions in which to pursue their studies. While all the colleges above belong to Class "A," there are a number of very high class "A" colleges which have been omitted, and it is to be sincerely hoped that the South African Medical Council will amend their regulations in such a way as to include several other institutions which afford excellent opportunities for the study of medicine. Concerning the requirements for a medical degree in the United States, Dr. N. P. Colwell, Secretary of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association, writes as follows: "In reply to your recent request we will state that to Educational Facilities for South African Students 1 1 obtain the degree of Doctor of Medicine from any of the reputable medical schools of the United States now re- quires a course of from seven to ten years, following com- pletion of the secondary school course. This includes from two to four years devoted largely to the natural sciences ; four years in the strictly medical sciences; and an addi- tional one or two years devoted to a hospital intern- ship. Attention is called, also, to the fact that about twenty of our leading medical schools are now limiting their enrolments and are matriculating only from fifty to one hundred students each year in the entering classes. This limitation is fixed since the colleges feel that the best medical training could not be furnished for larger classes. The details of the requirements for the degree are set forth on pages 5 to 8, inclusive, of the pamphlet entitled "Choice of a Medical School." Copies of this pamphlet have been sent to the medical college libraries in South Africa, as well as to all the universities and uni\^ersity colleges in South Africa. DENTISTRY The entrance requirement for any of the thirty schools of dentistry in United States of America is at least the completion of high school or the South African matricula- tion. The chief schools of dentistry are at the Universi- ties of Harvard, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota. Only the degrees of the first three are recognized in South Africa. The course leading to Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) at Pennsylvania and Michigan; or Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) at Harvard, requires four academic years df study. Harvard requires, however, one year of college work beyond Matriculation as entrance to the four year course. 12 Institute of hiternational Education EDUCATION Most of the larger American universities like Columbia, Chicago, Harvard, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio State University, New York University, Yale, Leland Stanford, etc., have also professional schools of education which require four years after high school for the Bachelor's Degree in Education. Most of the South Africans, however, who come to this country for study in education have already graduated, and, therefore, we shall limit our remarks chiefly to the post-graduate facilities in this country. Much the same regulations as regards length of time, and amount of work required for the degrees of A.M. and Ph.D. dealt with on pages 7 and 8, are of application here. The post-graduate study of education has been made a specialty in several of the larger graduate schools of edu- cation like Teachers College in Columbia University and the Chicago, Harvard, etc., Schools of Education, where there are facilities for studying the subject in almost every phase. In the treatment of education special stress is laid on its practical application to school-work and to society, and on the actual scientific procedure involved in the case of specific problems. It is perhaps desirable that a student decide in which of the following fields his major interest lies: historical and comparative education; philosophy or psychology of education; administration; scientific measurement; statistics; supervision and class-room practice; sociology; vocational; teachers' training; rural; secondary, ele- mentary or kindergarten, etc., and select his courses accordingly. It is desirable that one who wishes to work for the Ph.D. have some definite problem in mind, and not come to Educational Facilities for South African Students 13 study merely education In general. This will enable him from the start to select and correlate his courses round a central core in so far as they assist in and bear upon the ultimate solution of the problem. For the Ph.D., how- ever, a fairly broad basis is necessary in history, philosophy, and psychology of education and kindred fields as a foun- dation to start from. An examination on these has to be passed before a student is allowed to become a candidate for Ph.D. When he takes this examination does not affect the total length of time for the Ph.D. It is moreover desirable that students have at least some practical experience in teaching, a general knowledge of educational conditions in South Africa, and preferably the T. I. certificate before coming over. Experience has shown that such students are in a better position to dis- criminate between the essential and the unessential amongst the great variety of courses offered. Teachers College, Columbia University, has just announced that a student who has the T. I. certificate or any other post- graduate professional course comprising two academic 3'ears of training in South Africa is entitled to admission as a graduate student at a standing equivalent to the Master's degree. A great part of the work in education involves the visit- ing of the largest and best schools in the city and the neighborhood where such students and especially those from foreign countries are very cordially received and conducted around as well as assisted in gaining whatever information is wanted. This has been found by foreign students to be exceedingly valuable. It is suggested that students bring no ordinary text books, since the libraries supply all the copies needed; what is wanted, however, is material dealing with South African education such as reports, pamphlets, etc., of which there is usually a great dearth here. More detailed 14 Institute of International Education information will be found in the calendars of the schools of education in the above mentioned Universities. HOUSEHOLD ARTS AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE In connection with the schools of education like Teach- ers College and in many of the larger state agricultural colleges, specialization is made in household arts, domestic science, physical education, nursing and health work with a view to training teachers in these subjects. The entrance requirements are matriculation or senior cer- tificate, after which it takes four years, or three years plus summer school work, for a B.S. degree. Collegiate work already done in South Africa in the preparatory subjects is recognized provided that detailed statements of the same are produced. Certain certificates and diplomas are issued to those who have completed certain courses but who were unable to stay the full four years for the B.S. The details of the regulations and courses offered may be seen in the Teachers College announcement for the School of Practial Arts, and in the calendars of the various state universities. It is perhaps advisable for students staying a few years to attend for one session at least one of the larger state agricultural colleges like Cornell, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, etc., so as to get the subject from a slightly different point of view. THEOLOGY A first class school of theology offers a three year course to college graduates and confers the degree of B.D. or S.T.B. There are schools, however, that do not require the full college course for entrance. Certain schools of theology are denominational: An- dover Theological Seminary and Oberlin Theological Seminary (Congregational) and the Catholic University of America (Roman Catholic) . Some are connected with Educational Facilities for South African Students 15 universities, as in the case of Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and the University of Chicago, while others such as Union Theological Seminary in New York, McCormick, and Drew Seminaries are independent. Princeton which has in the past been most frequently visited by South African students requires the B.A. degree for entrance requirement and recognizes each year of theological stud}^ taken in South Africa so that the minimum time of residence at Princeton for the B.D. degree is one year. One year study after the B.D. gives the degree of M.S.T. Those not having the B.A. degree but who have com- pleted their theological studies in South Africa may attend the theological courses at Princeton, and, though not gaining any degree may get a certificate on the work completed. For such students as have completed their theological studies in South Africa, Princeton has in the past given free tuition and free room, plus an allowance of $150 per annum. All that a student had to pay was $12 per annum for light and heat, and $5.50 per week for board. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Those wanting to be trained as teachers in physical education will do well to write to any of the following schools which are amongst the best in the country: The Sargent School, Cambridge, Massachusetts. This school requires completion of high school as entrance requirement. The course of training is three years but it gives no degree, only a diploma. The University of Wisconsin: high school graduate entrance requirement; and a four years' course leading to B.S. Teachers College: Columbia Uiiiversity, New York. The Department of Physical Education. Entrance re- 1 6 Institute of International Education quirement high school graduation. Course four years leading to the B.S. degree with diploma in teaching.

For men only. Various courses of different length and en- trance requirement given. A four years' stay gives the degree of Bachelor of Physical Education (B. P. E.). MUSIC For a student coming to the United States to study mu- sic, for an all-round education in the subject it would be well to go to some representative institution such as the Institute of Musical Art, 120 Claremont Avenue, New York, Frank Damrosch, Director; or the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Massachusetts, George W. Chadwick, Director; or the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Mt. Vernon Place and Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland. Further West, is The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, Ohio. Recently Ithaca Conservatory of Music, Ithaca, New York, W. G. Egbert, Director, has come to the front as an excellent place for the study of violin having probably two of the finest teachers on their faculty. The musical departments of such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Northwestern, Evanston, Illinois, would give fine oppor- tunities, especially along the line of composition. For a person who wishes to specialize in some one instru- ment, and who is already well advanced, it would probably be better to go to some good artist that could be found in cities like New York or Boston. It would, however, be wiser for a foreign student to get in touch with some Edu'cational Facilities for South African Students 1 7 university department of music for consultation and advice. COMMERCE AND BUSINESS The typical requirement is a four-year course after high school leading to the degree of B.S. The first two years are generally taken up with ordinary academic college work; and the last two devoted to technical subjects designed to give general preparation for business. The entrance requirements to the professional business schools of Columbia University, Amos Tuck School, Dartmouth College, Wharton School, Pennsylvania, are generally two years college work; and Harvard admits only college graduates. The B.S. or M.B.A. is gained after two years' professional study. South Africans having, therefore, either two years' college work, or having attained the B.A. degree (which is perhaps preferable, since that will guarantee him en- trance into any business school) will be able to gain the M.S. in business in two to two and one-half years and the Ph.D. in perhaps three to four years. One who has, for example, the B. Com. from Johannesburg will probably take it in a shorter time. A student who has matriculation or senior certificate, or perhaps only one year college work behind him, may work for a business diploma by taking Extension Courses to the value of seventy-two points in the evening, and working during the day to gain practical experience and at the same time to earn a living. A certificate in professional accounting may also thus be gained through extension work in about three years after matriculation. In every case, the amount of time required will depend on the amount of work a student does on the outside and on the amount he is able to put in on his college work. Institute of International Education Columbia and New York Universities as business schools have the advantage of being right in the world's greatest commercial center, and afford unique oppor- tunities for practical experience. From the various calendars of Harvard, New York University, Columbia, etc., may be seen the character of the courses offered in business administration, banking, corporation finance, economics, accounting, advertising, salesmanship, etc. JOURNALISM This requires a four-year course after high school, and leads to B.Litt. or B.J. The first two years are mainly devoted to social science, and English. The last two years are devoted to such courses as reporting, interview- ing, editorial and feature writing, and the study of inter- national relationships, etc. Columbia is one of the best equipped and Missouri one of the oldest schools of Journalism in the United States. AGRICULTURE South African students wishing to study agriculture in the United States of America will, no doubt, be able to secure all the necessary detailed information by writing to the principals of any of the agricultural schools, or to the dean of the college of agriculture of either the Uni- versity of Stellenbosch, or the Transvaal University College. At all of these institutions there are at least several members of the staff or faculty who studied in the United States of America, and they will gladly furnish the required information. Agriculture is mostly the monopoly of the state univer- sities and land grant colleges. The typical course for the B.S. degree takes four years after high school. Educational Facilities for South African Students 19 VETERINARY MEDICINE A three-years course after high school leads to the degree of V.D.M. Cornell requires a four-year course and has clinical facilities. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO AMERICAN SCHOOL OF FORESTRY (By Dr. J. W. Tourney, Dean Yale Forestry School, New Haven, Conn.) American schools that offer courses in forestry leading to a degree may be divided into those that offer a four-year undergraduate course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry and those that offer the degree of Master of Forestry for two or three years of technical training based upon three or four years of undergraduate collegiate work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Philosophy. Men from foreign countries that come to America to study forestry, if they desire to enter an undergraduate school should come here after the completion of their high school course or its equivalent. In this case a con- siderable proportion of the work required is in pre-forestry subjects which include mathematics, language, science (botany, zoology, geology, chemistry, physics) mechanical drawing, and economics as well as other general cultural subjects. As a rule less than one-half the work is in technical forestry. On the other hand men who come here to study forestry after the completion of three or four years of collegiate work or its equivalent in their own country can immediately take up their technical training to the exclusion of other subjects provided they ha\^e completed in their undergraduate work the pre-forestry subjects mentioned above. They can become candidates for the degree of Master of Forestry given after two years 20 Institute of International Education of technical studies provided they have previously com- pleted the essential pre-forestry subjects and have had a minimum of three years of undergraduate collegiate training. Men who come with a Baccalaureate Degree but without the essential pre-forestry training should expect to remain for three years in order to complete the prescribed work for the Master's degree. As a specific illustration, if a man should come here from South Africa for training in forestry he can enter Yale or any other of the better grade of American schools as a candidate for the Master's degree in a minimum of two or three years if he already holds a Baccalaureate degree from a recognized institution in his own country. The degree is attainable in two years if he has covered all the essential pre-forestry subjects in his undergraduate course and in three years or possibly a little less if he has not. If he comes here without collegiate training he should not expect to receive the degree of Master of Forestry under a mini- mum of five years of collegiate work. If he comes without a Baccalaureate degree from a recognized college but with one or two years of collegiate work the time required will be proportionately shortened. APPENDIX The following extracts from an article on "Statistics of Registration of Thirty American Universities" — published in School and Society (January 29, 192 1), will be of interest to the prospective student.
