ADMISSION TO GRADUATE SCHOOL Persons who have obtained a baccalaureate degree from a college of good standing, and desire to follow advanced courses in scientific, literary, or historical subjects, or to, take advantage of the opportunities for individual investigations here afforded, may be admtted to the Graduate School. Women are admitted, with the consent of the professors under whom they wish to work, on the same terms as men. Advanced students are received whether they are candidates for a degree or not, and they are permitted to attend such lectures and exercises as they may select. On entering the university they are expected to present their diplomas and certificates from the institutions with which they have been connected, and also letters of introduction. They are not examined by the university for admission, but each instructor satisfies himself of the attainments of those who wish to enter his classes. REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS The degree of Master of Arts is offered to students who have obtained the baccalaureate degree from a college of good standing, have then followed courses of university study under proper guidance for at least two years, and have satisfied the requirements mentioned below.* *It is understood that the University work for one of these years may be distributed through two or more years, in cases where the student can devote only a part of his time to study. 5 6 Requirements for Degrees The Board of University Studies reserves the right to decide in each case whether the preliminary training has been satisfactory, and, if any of the years of graduate work have been passed by the candidate away from this University, whether they may be considered as spent in accordance with these regulations. At least one academic year must be passed in this Uni- versity, and in every case this must be the one immediately preceding the final examinations, unless special permission to the contrary is granted by the Board of University Studies for some extraordinary reason. The candidate for the degree must make formal appli- cation to the Board of University Studies at least one aca- demic year before he expects to present himself for his final examinations. In this application he must state the subject which it is his intention to pursue as his principal study, and in his choice of additional subjects he must be guided by the advice of the professor in charge of his principal work. In order to obtain the degree the candidate must satisfy two requirements: 1. He must prepare an essay upon a subject approved by the Board of University Studies. This must be com- pleted and submitted to the Board at least four weeks before the time of the final examinations. Two referees will then be designated who shall present to the Board a written report. This essay shall be prepared for presentation to the Board in the manner prescribed for the dissertations submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 2. If the report on the essay is satisfactory, the candidate will then be admitted for the final written examinations. The candidate is, however, permitted to take at the end Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 7 of any academic year examinations on the subjects followed during that year, or at the beginning of the next year. In case these are passed in a satisfactory manner, he will not be examined further in these subjects. The names of candidates found worthy of the degree will be submitted to the Board of Trustees, and with their approbation the degree will be publicly conferred. THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is offered to students who, after obtaining the baccalaureate degree from a college of good standing, have followed courses of university study under proper guidance and without serious distractions for at least three years, and have satisfied the requirements mentioned below. The Board of University Studies reserves the right to decide in each case whether the preliminary training has been satisfactory, and which, if any, years of graduate work not spent in this university are to be considered as spent in accordance with these regulations. At least one academic year must be passed in this Uni- versity, and, except in extraordinary cases, the one immedi- ately preceding the final examinations. PRINCIPAL AND SUBORDINATE SUBJECTS To become a candidate for the degree the student must select a subject on which he intends to concentrate his efforts and must place himself under the guidance of the professor in this subject. This is called his “ principal 99 study. With the advice of the professor and subject to the approval of the Board of University Studies, the student must choose two 8 Degree of Doctor of Philosophy other studies, known as “ subordinate ” subjects, which he must follow. These are called the “ first subordinate ” and the “ second subordinate,” and the two should represent one year’s work, two-thirds of this being devoted to the former. ACCEPTANCE OF THE CANDIDATE A student who wishes to be considered a candidate for the degree must make written application to the Board of University Studies, upon a form provided for this purpose at least one academic year before he expects to present himself for his final examinations.* Before this application can be accepted, he must satisfy the University examiners that he is able to translate at sight French and German journals and monographs relating to his principal subject. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Certain examinations, as outlined below, must be passed by the candidate, in order to obtain the degree; but the distinctive requirement is the presentation of evidence that the candidate has carried to successful completion an original investigation in his principal subject upon a theme approved by his chief professor. The results of this investigation must be embodied in a dissertation, and submitted to the Board of University Studies. REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE DISSERTATION a. The dissertation must be prepared for presentation to the Board of University Studies in accordance with *A student who has been admitted as a candidate for the de- gree of Doctor of Philosophy, will be considered to have satisfied the requirements for admission to courses leading to the degree of Master of Arts. Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 9 instructions to be obtained from the Registrar, and to every such dissertation must be appended a brief biographical sketch of the author. It must be submitted to the Board at least four weeks before the examinations in the principal subject. b. The Board shall designate two or more referees, who shall make a written report on the dissertation. REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE EXAMINATIONS f a. The candidate shall be subjected to written exami- nations in his principal subject, and, whenever practicable, in both his subordinate subjects. The results of the exami- nations shall be reported in writing to the Board of University Studies; and, if these reports and the report on the disser- tation are satisfactory, the candidate shall be admitted to an oral examination in his principal and first subordinate subjects before the Board, or a section of it. b. The written examinations in the subordinate subjects may be taken at any time during the candidate’s residence at the University, subject to the judgment of the examiners. c. In the written examinations no session shall exceed five hours. In the oral examinations before the Board, the time allotted shall be one hour; and three quarters of this shall be devoted to the principal subject. OTHER REGULATIONS Before the candidate is admitted to the oral examination he must signify his intention, in the event of his receiving flf a student who has absolved the examinations required for the degree of Master of Arts in this University, becomes a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, he may, at the discretion of the professors, be excused from any further written examinations in the particular courses in which he has already passed. 10 Degree of Doctor of Philosophy the degree, to print his dissertation in full or in part, and to satisfy the requirements specified below. If the dissertation is not printed in full, an abstract must be prepared or a portion selected with the approval of the professor, which shall contain when printed not less than twenty-four octavo pages. One hundred and fifty printed copies of the dissertation must be presented to the University within one year of the time when the degree is conferred. These must have the pre- scribed title page and must contain the biographical sketch. The candidate is advised to have these printed copies ready for presentation before the date for the conferring of the degree; otherwise a deposit of $50.00 with the Treasurer of the Univer- sity must be made. This deposit is returned when the printed copies are presented to the University. If these have not been received within the year specified, the Board of University Studies may declare the deposit forfeited and may apply the amount in printing the dissertation or a part of it. CONFERRING OF THE DEGREE The names of the candidates found worthy of the degree will be submitted to the Board of Trustees, and with their approbation the degree will be publicly conferred. PHILOSOPHY I. General Plan of Work Students having philosophy for their principal subject may either carry on most of their work within the traditional group of philosophical disciplines or form new groupings of studies traversing the usual, departmental lines. It is con- sidered important by this department that prospective teachers of philosophy should, in any case, have a broad general traning either in the humanities or in the natural or social sciences, and should be able definitely and fruitfully to correlate their philosophical studies and teaching with at least one other province of inquiry. Candidates for degrees in philosophy are therefore advised to decide early in their residence in which of the following groups they will chiefly work : I. General systematic philosophy. II. Logic and scientific methodology. III. Ethics. IV. The history of philosophical systems and of philo- sophical ideas in literature and in the sciences. Candidates who elect I will have most of their work for their principal subject in philosophy, while taking the usual two subordinates in other subjects. Those specializing in II, III, or IV may be required to pursue studies in the other philosophical subjects, but may also take an equal amount of suitably correlated work in other departments, which will 11 12 Philosophy be credited towards the requirements in the principal subject. Those who elect II, for example, should take courses in psy- chology, in mathematics, and in at least one of the experimen- tal physical sciences and in its history. Those who specialize in III should do some work in political science and econo- mics; and those who specialize in IV should carry on some studies in the history of literature and the history of scientific hypotheses. Some courses cognate to these groups, to be given in other departments in 1911-1912, are indicated below; others may be found by consulting the Register of the University. II. Courses A. The following courses in philosophy are announced for the year 1911-1912: 1. Seminary: Individual Work. Part of the time of every student admitted to candidature for a higher degree in philosophy should each year be devoted to individual work upon authors or topics determined after consultation with the Director of the Seminary, with special reference to the student’s interests, capacity, and previous training. This work will consist of systematic reading, methodical analysis of problems, the presentation of a con- nected series of fortnightly or monthly papers, and frequent conferences with the professor charged with the oversight of the student’s work. The final paper in the course will, if of a suitable character, be read before the Graduate Conference of the department. Such individual study need not and preferably should not be confined to the subject of the can- Philosophy 13 didate’s dissertation. Students having philosophy for a sub- ordinate subject may be admitted to similar work at the discretion of the Director of the Seminary. 2. British Empiricism. This course traces the development from Locke to Hume, showing the relation of the theory of knowledge propounded in Locke’s Essay to Berkeley’s idealism and also to the Treatise of Human Nature. One hour a week through the year. Professor Griffin. 3. Continental Philosophy since Kant: Fichte and Schel- ling. A survey of the development of the Critical Philosophy of Kant and its reception is followed by a special study of the systems of Fichte and Schelling. This study is based on the Grundlage der gesamten Wissenschaftslehre and the Grundlage des Naturrechts of the former, and the Ideen zu einer Philosophie der Natur and the System des transcen- dentalen Idealismus of the latter, besides several minor writings of both. The aim of the work is not only to trace the immediate influence of Kant’s thinking, but also to secure a critical appreciation of the principles guiding the construction of systems of philosophy. One hour a week through the year. Professor Buchner. 4. Contemporary Tendencies in Metaphysics and Episte- mology. An exposition and critical examination of current move- ments, with especial reference to the diverse doctrines going under the names of pragmatism, humanism and instrument- alism ; to the present status of absolute idealism ; to the realistic revival ; and to recent theories concerning the 14 Philosophy place of the time-process in reality. Lectures and collateral reading. Two hours a week through the year . Professor Lovejoy. 5. British Ethics from Hobbes to Price. The psychology, ethics and political philosophy of the Leviathan ; the antagonism to Hobbes represented on the one hand by Cudworth and Clarke, and one the other by Shaftes- bury and Hutcheson; Butler’s conception of the nature and office of conscience; the happiness of society and the phe- nomena of sympathy as applied to ethical theory by Hume and Adam Smith respectively ; the phase of rationalistic ethics represented by Richard Price. One hour a week through the year. Professor Griffin. 6. The Ethical Theory of Distribution. Examination of the doctrines of ethical theorists concern- ing the distribution (in distinction from those concerning the nature) of the good; analysis of the conception of equality in its ethical bearings, and of the conception of justice, and of the apparent antagonism of ethical principles involved in these two; discussion of the ethics of the com- petitive process in itself and as a device for determining distribution; application of these analyses to the questions of the distribution of political power and the distribution of wealth. One hour a week through the year. Professor 'Lovejoy. B. The following courses of interest to students of philoso- phy will be given in related departments during 1911-1912: Principles of Political Philosophy. The course deals with the nature and the ethical signifi- Philosophy 15 cance of the State. The principles of political obligation are discussed, and the characteristics and attributes of the State as a juristic body are determined. Three hours a week , first half year. Professor W. W. Willoughby. Political Theories and. Political Literature in France in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. French political theories during the period covered, as explicit in literature and implicit in political practice, will be analyzed and criticized. One hour a week through the year. Professor W. W. Willoughby. Mediaeval Jewish Philosophy. Readings in Maimonides and Bachyah (in Hebrew) with lectures and collateral reading. Dr. W. Rosenau. (Work in Jewish mediaeval philosophy for students unable to read Hebrew will be arranged if the demand is sufficient). Voltaire: Le developpement de ses idees philosophiques et esthetiques. One hour a week through the year. Associate Professor Terra- cher. C. The following courses in Philosophy are provisionally announced for the years 1912-1914: Greelc Philosophy before Plato.

Professor Griffin. The Psychology of the Moral Consciousness. Professor Lovejoy. PSYCHOLOGY I. General Plan of Work The graduate student in psychology, after he has obtained suitable general training, may specialize in human experi- mental psychology, animal behavior, or psychiatry (Dr. Meyer). The first year of graduate study is devoted almost exclusively to preparation for research — to the training courses in experimental and comparative psychology, and to the courses in physiology, neurology and experimental zoology connected with the subordinates. The student taking his principal subject in psychology is urged, as a rule, to choose his first and second subordinates among experimental zoology, physiology and anatomy (neurology). Tinder certain con- ditions, however, philosophy and education may be selected. A good general training in philosophy is presupposed; and a part of the time given over to the principal subject may be devoted to courses in philosophy having a special psycho- logical interest. A subject for independent investigation is chosen usually at the beginning of the second year. This subject may lie in any of the three fields specified above. Advanced studies in general psychology and in laboratory technique are pursued during the second year along with the remaining courses in zoology and physiology necessary to complete the require- ments for the first and second subordinates. The third year of the student’s work is given over largely to the completion of the dissertation; to frequent conferences 17 18 Psychology with the instructor in charge of the dissertation; and to be- coming familiarized with the literature in the field of experi- mental psychology. An effort is made to keep this year fairly free from formal work. A certain amount of work in psychiatry, however, is required of all students in their third year who are candidates for the doctorate. Those expecting to specialize in the field of pathological psychology are urged to pursue their medical studies along with their graduate work in psychology. With the joint con- sent of the Board of University Studies and the Medical Board, candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in psychology desiring to take their first and second minors in anatomy (including both neurology and histology under this head) and physiology may, after having received that degree, continue their work in medicine and receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine in three years instead of the usual four, provided they have been registered as medical students during the time devoted to the subordinates in anatomy and physiology. In other words, the work done in anatomy and physiology will absolve the requirements for both first and second minors for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in psychology, and at the same time count as one full year’s work in medicine. Johns Hopkins students registered in medicine, desiring to take the Ph. D. degree in psychology after having taken the degree of M. D., may then register in psychology and offer the work already done in anatomy and physiology as first and second subordinates. II. Laboratory Equipment The psychological laboratory occupies a part of the third floor of the biology building. In all, eleven class- and re- Psychology 19 search-rooms are available. One of the largest of the rooms has been set aside for dark-room work, and is equipped with modern photometric apparatus. The shop is located in the physics building and is occupied jointly by physics and psychology. A small yard for housing the larger mam- mals is located in the rear of the biology building. The laboratory is especially equipped for furthering in- vestigations in vision; space-, rhythm- and time-perception; memory and association; and in reaction-time. A complete equipment of very fine compound lenses, prisms, Rowland gratings, spectrophotometers, automatic arcs and heliostats makes it possible, for the first time, it is believed, for Ameri- can students in psychology to study the main phenomena of color vision with spectral light. An apparatus for measuring the energy of all monochromatic light stimuli has recently been installed. This consists of a standardized selenium cell (J. W. Giltay, Delft, Holland) of high sensibility; a Leeds and Northrup galvanometer; three 10,000-ohm resis- tance boxes, and a 2 5- volt storage battery. With this device, the energy of light stimuli may be measured and reproduced with great ease and accuracy. A large pendulum exposure apparatus recently devised by Dr. Dunlap has been built for use in reaction-, rhythm- and memory-work. The equipment of standard pieces, while not large, has been carefully selected. Mention may be made of the fol- lowing pieces for the study of audition: a complete set of Konig universal resonators ; AppumTs Tonmesser, and Stern’s Tonvariator; thirty tuning forks mounted on resonance cases, four electrically driven forks, two differential forks ; two Zimmerman adjustable pipes, the Galton whistle and a Whip- ple model air-tank. Corresponding apparatus for the study of the other senses and of memory and association are available. 20 Psychology The apparatus for the study of animal behavior has been carefully selected, and standardized according to the recommendations made in the report of Professors Yerkes and Watson ( Behavior Monograph No. 2, 1911). The laboratory of experimental zoology, under the direction of Professor Jennings, is well equipped for the study of the behavior of lower organisms. Taking the two laboratories together, equipment is at hand for the study of the behavior of both vertebrates and invertebrates. The establishment of the Phipps psychiatric clinic, under the direction of Dr. Adolf Meyer, affords the psychological students at Hopkins unique opportunity for clinical instruc- tion in psychopathology, for the first-hand study of cases, and for research. The buildings for the psychiatric clinic are now in process of construction. The clinic will probably be ready for the admission of patients and for the instruction of students in the spring of 1912. III. Courses A. The following graduate courses are announced for 1911-1912: 7. Introduction to Experimental Psychology. The course deals in the first and second trimesters largely with auditory and visual sensation ; and in the third trimester with memory and association. It is designed to give the student opportunity to gather first-hand acquaintance with experimental problems and technique, and to orient himself in the literature on sensation, memory and association. Lectures and laboratory exercises, six hours a week. Dr. Dunlap. Psychology 21 8. Experimental Psychology ( Research Course). Several of the classical experiments in psychology are repeated, and advanced laboratory technique is introduced. The subject of experimentation depends somewhat on the individual interests of the members of the class. As the work advances, special problems are undertaken. It is in this course that the student usually finds the subject for his dissertation. Lectures at indeterminate intervals; laboratory work daily through the year. Professor Watson and Dr. Dunlap. 9. Introduction to Comparative Psychology. The experiments in this course are designed to show the animal’s method of solving problems (habit-formation, imi- tation, etc.) and the use it makes of its senses (discrimi- nation). The lectures are devoted to a discussion of the literature on the behavior of the higher vertebrates. Lectures two hours weekly through the year; laboratory work about twelve hours weekly. Professor Watson. 10. Comparative Psychology (Research Course). A purely laboratory course. Special research problems are assigned early in the year. Conference two hours a week through the year. Professor Watson. 11. Advanced General Psychology. Selected chapters in James’s Principles of Psychology are first examined. Titchener’s two books, The Experimental Psychology of the Thought-processes , and Feeling and At- tention, are read and discussed. The attempt is made to contrast the various theoretical standpoints of the different investigators in psychology. Two hours a week through the year Professor Watson. 22 Psychology 12. Psychological Journal Club. Articles apearing in the current English, German and French periodicals are reported upon. The presentation of reports of progress in individual research is required from time to time. B. The following courses in related departments are to be given in 1911-12 : Psychiatry. (1) General Course, with lectures and de- monstrations. First Trimester, Wednesday, 12 to 1, and Saturday afternoon. Dr. Adolf Meyer. (2) Special Topics in Psychiatry. One afternoon weekly, second trimester. Dr. Meyer. (3) Clinical demonstrations. Second trimester. Dr. Farrar. Physiology. Lecture and Laboratory course. The work consists of a systematic course of lectures, covering the sub- ject of animal physiology, experimental work in the laboratory, demonstrations and recitations. The lectures are illustrated by experiments and demonstrations in the lecture room. Recitations are held on the subject matter covered by the lectures and laboratory work. Lectures three times weekly, October to January ; laboratory work twelve hours a week for one trimester. Professor Howell, Dr. Hooker and Dr. Snyder. Neurology. Lectures and laboratory work, winter trimester, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 2-5; Wednesday and Fri- day, 2-3. Professors Sabin and Mall and Dr. Evans. Psychology 23 Experimental Zoology. The course in 1911-12 will be devoted to genetics, or the experimental study of heredity, variation, and evolution. Lectures three hours weekly, first half-year. Professor Jennings. General Physiology of Animals. This course deals with the chemical and physical properties of organisms, the rela- tion between animals and their environment, and such funda- mental organic processes as metabolism, growth, movement, response to stimuli, behavior. The work will be confined chiefly to the invertebrates. The second-half -year will prob- ably be devoted mainly to animal behavior. Special problems in this or related lines may be taken up for investigation by the student. Three lectures or conferences and two laboratory periods weekly through the year. Associate Professor Mast. Physics. Optics. This course gives the student a thor- ough knowledge of experiments dealing with fundamental principles, as well as of experiments involving the use of modern types of optical instruments, such as the plane and concave grating, Michelson and Fabry and Perot interfer- ometers, polarimeters, etc. Two afternoons, one half-year. Dr. Pfund. C. The following courses in Psychology are provisionally announced for 1912-14: Courses 8, 9, 10 and 11 will be repeated. Psycho-physics. An introductory treatment of mental meas- urements. The Weber-Fechner law will be tested in at least 24 - Psychology two different sense fields. Stimulus- and difference- limens will be determined. Eight hours weekly in the laboratory ; no lectures. Professor Watson. Homing in animals. A critical discussion of the litera- ture on the methods employed by animals (especially ants, bees, wasps and birds) in finding the way home. One lecture weekly through the year. Professor Watson. Attention and Feeling. A critical presentation of the more important results obtained in this field by recent investigators. Two hours weekly , first half-year. Dr. Dunlap. Space and Time-perception. A critical and constructive treatment of the experimental methods in these fields, with especial attention to apparatus and technique. Two hours weekly, second half-year. Dr. Dunlap. EDUCATION The graduate work in education is designed to meet the needs of those students who are preparing to give instruction in the history, principles and practice of education in colleges and normal schools, as well as the needs of those who are planning to enter upon the various forms of school super- vision. It also seeks to meet the needs of those students in the University who, while specializing in the subjects they intend to teach, wish to have an acquaintance with the principles underlying all educational activity. The work offered in education is closely related to that given in psychology and philosophy. A thorough knowledge of the history of educational theory is required for the more critical and constructive effort undertaken in the philosophy of education. The general principles of psychology are given an application to education and teaching. The psychol- ogical laboratory is open to those whose training enables them to carry out investigations on special topics in mental development under school conditions. The program of sub- jects and courses for the individual student, however, is determined chiefly in the light of his special interests. Courses A. The following Courses are announced for 1911-12: 13. Seminary. The work of the year will be a study of the history and principles of secondary education. Two hours a week through the year. Professor Buchner. 25 26 Education 14. Educational Psychology. In this course, which is a continuation of the one given in 1910-1911, attention will be paid to the psychology of school activities. One hour a week through the year. Professor Buchner. B. The following Courses in Education are provisionally announced for 1912-1914: History of Educational Theories and Practices. Professor Buchner. Philosophy of Education. Professor Buchner. Educational Psychology. Professor Buchner. Administration of Different Forms of Schools. Professor Buchner. GENERAL INFORMATION Graduate Conference Meetings are held as occasion may arise, especially towards the close of the academic year, for the presentation of the results of the work of members of the department, for hearing papers by visitors or others not connected with the department, and for the informal discussion of important recent publications. Libraries The University Library numbers approximately one hundred and fifty thousand bound volumes. The books relating to philosophy, psychology and education are, for the most part, placed in the Department Seminary Room. The department library is supplied with files and current numbers of the principal philosophical and educational periodicals and virtually all the psychological periodicals in English, French and German, and with the most essential works in philosophy, education and human and animal psychology. The Peabody Library, numbering over one hundred and seventy thousand volumes, is in convenient proximity to the University build- ings, and is a valuable supplement to the library resources of the University. The Enoch Pratt Free Library, numbering upwards of two hundred and seventy thousand volumes, is also available to students.

Every student is required at entrance to pay a registration fee of five dollars and deposit ten dollars as caution money, the latter being repaid to him when he leaves the university, if there are no charges against him. Fees for limited attendance Persons engaged in other pursuits — such as clergymen, lawyers, physicians, — who are able to give only a portion of their time to study, and who are prepared to follow graduate courses, are permitted to attend certain courses of lectures, not exceeding five weekly, or to work in a scientific laboratory at such times as may be arranged with the Director thereof, on the payment, at entrance, of fifty dollars for the year, besides the registration fee and caution money. For a course of lectures not exceeding five weekly, with accompanying laboratory work, the fee is sev- enty-five dollars per annum.

Living Expenses The University at present is unsupplied with dormitories. Desirable rooming and boarding places are situated near the University. A list of such places known favorably to the University officials is kept on file and can be supplied upon request. The cost of living in Baltimore is exceptionally low. Two graduate students both report the following as their actual necessary expenses during the academic year 1910- 1911: Tuition, 36 weeks, Board and room, 36 weeks. Laundry, 36 weeks, $150.00 198.00 36.00 Total, $384.00 FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS Fellowships by Courtesy The Academic Council may, at their discretion, by special vote, enroll as Fellows by Courtesy — (а) Gentlemen who are, or who have been, teachers in colleges and other like institutions, and who wish, for brief periods, to avail themselves of the opportunities here afforded for study and for the use of books and labora- tories. (б) Holders of fellowships in other colleges, during their residence here. (c) Those who have been fellows of this university and desire to continue in residence. Fellows by Courtesy will not be exempt from the payment of fees, except by a special vote. University Fellowships Twenty fellowships, each yielding five hundred dollars but not exempting the holder from the charges for tuition, are annually awarded. Ho specified number of these is per- manently assigned to any one department. The system of fellowships was instituted for the purpose of affording to young men of talent from any place an opportunity of con- tinuing their studies in the Johns Hopkins University in any subjects while looking forward to positions as professors, teachers, and investigators, or to other literary and scientific vocations. The fellowships are given to young men who wish 30 Fellowships and Scholarships 31 to follow systematically through the year the instruction of the teachers here engaged, and those who are appointed are expected to proceed to the degree of Doctor of Philo- sophy. The appointments are made not merely in recognition of good work already done, but as aids and incentives to good work in the future; in other words, the fellowships are not so much honors and prizes bestowed for past achievements, as helps to further progress and stepp ing^stones to intellectual careers. The fellowships are intended particularly for young men desirous of becoming teachers of science or literature, or of devoting their lives to special branches of learning which lie outside of the ordinary studies of the lawyer, the physician, and the minister. Each candidate is expected to submit his college diploma or other certificate of proficiency from the institution where he has been taught, with recommendations from those who are qualified to speak of his character and attainments. He must also submit orally or in writing evidence of his past success in study and of his plans for the future, together with examples of his literary or scientific work. Testi- monials from former instructors unaccompanied by such examples of the applicant’s own work will as a rule not be regarded as affording adequate evidence concerning the appli- cant’s relative eligibility for appointment to a fellowship. The examination is in a certain sense competitive, but not with uniform tests, nor by formal questions submitted to the candidates. First, the head of a given department con- siders, with such counsel as he may command, the applicant’s record. The professors then collectively deliberate on the nominations made by individual members of their body. The list upon which they agree, with the reasons for it, is finally submitted by the President of the University to the Executive 32 Fellowships and Scholarships Committee, and by them to the Trustees for final registration and appointment. The applicants are notified of the result by means of a printed list of the successful candidates. The absence of candidates from Baltimore has been no bar to their appointment, in cases where adequate evidence of their claims has been presented; but it is obvious from the nature of the case, that graduate students residing in Baltimore must have better opportunities than others of making their powers known to the appointing board, and during the last few years the number of persons appointed, who had not previously been resident here, has been very small. Regulations 1. The application must be made prior to May 1, in writing, addressed to the President of the University, and he will refer the papers to the Academic Council, by whom the nominations will be made to the Board of Trustees, at their meeting in June. There is no prescribed form of application. 2. The candidate must give evidence of a liberal education, such as the diploma of a college of good repute; of decided pro- clivity towards a special line of study, such as an example of some scientific or literary work already performed; and of upright character, such as a testimonial from some instructor. 3. The value of each fellowship is five hundred dollars. The holder is not exempt from the charges for tuition. In case of resignation, promotion, or removal from the fellowship, payments will be made for the time during which the office shall have been actually held. The Johnston Scholarships These scholarships, of which there are three, known as the Henry E. Johnston Scholarship, the James Buchanan Johnston Scholarship, and the Henry E. Johnston, Jr. Fellowships and Scholarships 33 Scholarship, were founded by Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, of Washington, formerly of Baltimore, in memory of her husband and her two sons. They are awarded annually by the Trustees on the recommendation of the Academic Council. The stipend of each scholarship is the income of thirty thousand dollars. They are offered primarily to young men who have given evidence of the power of independent research in any branch of learning. The holders of the scholarships will be expected to devote themselves to study and research in their chosen subjects, though they may be required to do some teaching. Each one will be designated as the “ Holder of the Johnston Scholarship.” Regulations Candidates for the Johnston Scholarships must make applica- tion, in writing, to the President of the University before the first of April. The applications must be accompanied by such evidence of the candidates’ fitness as they may be able to pre- sent. The President will refer the papers to the Academic Council, by whom the nominations will be made to the Board of Trustees at their meeting in May. Holders of the scholarships may not engage in teaching else- where. The scholars will be appointed for one year; but, if their work should prove satisfactory, they will generally be reappointed. University Scholarships For the encouragement of scholarship among those who have taken the baccalaureate degree and wish to continue their studies here, a number of University Scholarships are annually bestowed, as stated below: 1. Fifteen scholarships are open about the first of Janu- 34 Fellowships and Scholarships ary to graduates of this or of other institutions, who have been studying here during the previous part of the session. Those who wish to be candidates must make formal appli- cation to the President, about the middle of December, stating where they have been previously trained and what studies they have pursued in this university. He will appoint a committee of five to consider the applications, and, with the aid of such evidence as may be obtained, to make nominations to the Board of University Studies. 2. These scholarships entitle the holders to free tuition and are tenable for one year. They do not carry exemption from laboratory fees. 3. They are awarded as honors, and those who are dis- posed, for the benefit of others or for any other reason, to waive the pecuniary emolument, or who are desirous of studying elsewhere, may do so and still have their names retained on the honor list. Those who receive the emolument will be expected to pursue their studies exclusively in this university. 4. The Board will reserve appointments, if worthy candi- dates do not offer. Hopkins Scholarships In the will of the founder of this university, the Trustees are requested to “ establish, from time to time, such number of free scholarships in said university as may be judicious, and to distribute the said scholarships among such candidates from the States of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, as may be most deserving of choice, because of their character and intellectual promise, and to educate the young men so chosen free of charge.” Forty-six such scholarships have Fellowships and Scholarships THB LIBRARY OF AUG 1 R m the been established ; of these fifteen are awarded by the Academic Council to students from Virginia, and fifteen to students from North Carolina, who have already received a creditable baccalaureate degree or its equivalent. Applications, in accor- dance with a prescribed form, must be filed at the President’s office prior to May 1.
