Although the courses announced and the regulations given are fairly continuous from year to year, neither of them is valid beyond the succeeding year, for before the end of the succeeding year a new catalogue will have been is- sued, superseding all previous catalogues. Ordinarily a student may expect to be allowed to se- cure a diploma or a degree in accordance with the re- quirements of the curriculum laid down in the catalogue in force v^^hen he first entered the College (see regula- tions) or in any subsequent catalogue published while he is a student; but the faculty reserves the right to make changes in curricula and in regulations at any time when in its judgment such changes are for the best interests of the students and of the College.

Interpreting this to meet the demands of modern society upon the teacher the staff believes that each student accepted for registration should be given an opportunity to develop optimally as a person, citizen and teacher. To this end it is expected that before he is recom- mended for certification each prospective teacher shall have attained the following major competencies: 1. A sufficiently comprehensive acquaintance with and appreciation of the cultural heritage and the vast body of knowledge which need to be mediated to the young to enable them to live more effectively. 2. Desirable personal traits such as emotional stability, sincerity of purpose, love for children, initiative, de- pendability, tolerance, social adaptability, and effec- tive habits of work. 3. An adequate understanding of the nature and nur- ture of children ; of the physical, m.ental, social, and emotional development of youth through the years of formal schooling ; of the way their interests and attitudes shift during the process of maturation (to- gether with the implications for teaching) . 24 East Carolina Teachers College 4. Knowledge of the principles of learning and the techniques of teaching, together with demonstrated skill in the art of guiding the educational experi- ences of children. 5. Reasonable mastery of the materials of instruction in the field of his particular interest. 6. An understanding of the responsibilities, opportuni- ties and ideals of the teaching profession together with a knowledge of desirable personnel relation- ships in the school and community. 7. A functional philosophy of education and life. DISCIPLINE In conducting a college for young men and women who are about to assume the responsibilities of so serious and dignified a profession as teaching, there should be no occasion for arbitrary and iron-clad rules. Each student should attend promptly and faithfully to every duty and have due consideration and regard for the rights and privileges of others. No rules are made by the College authorities except those necessary to govern routine work, but if the student is found to be falling behind in his studies, neglecting his duties or exerting an unwholesome influence, prompt steps are taken for his amendment. If a student does not show a disposition to conform to high standards of con- duct he is not considered a good prospective teacher ; and if he is found unresponsive to instruction and counsel he is requested to withdraw from the College. The student is given the maximum of freedom commensurate with the orderly administration of such an educational institu- tion as this. He is given every encouragement and ample opportunity to develop self-direction in modern coopera- tive society. In the spirit of the institution is found the discipline of the College. General Information 25 STUDENT GOVERNMENT To promote a sense of personal responsibility in the students of the College a Student Government Associa- tion has been inaugurated, subject to the approval of the president of the College and of an advisory board. This organization adopts such regulations as concern the en- tire student body. The association has so administered its duties as to merit the approval of both faculty and students. HEALTH There is a central heating and lighting plant that pro- vides steam heat and electric lights for all the buildings. All those things necessary for sanitary conditions are of the best type procurable. The College gets its water from the City of Greenville. The city owns its waterworks and has the water examined frequently, thus insuring its purity. In short, the college life of each student is made as comfortable as can be, and every possible pre- caution for health is taken. The health conditions in the College from the first have been entirely satisfactory. MEDICAL ATTENTION The college physician maintains an office in the in- firmary. Regular clinics are held twice daily under the supervision of the physician, and medical services are available at all times on call by the infirmary supervisor. All students living in the dormitories and all day stu- dents who subscribe to the infirmary services by pay- ment of the medical fee are admitted to the clinics and to the infirmary wards at the discretion of the physician. Two resident nurses are in charge of the infirmary. A well-equipped building adequately meets the needs of student health. Every student, following admission, is given a thor- ough physical examination. Satisfactory evidence of suc- cessful smallpox vaccination is required of all students. 26 East Carolina Teachers College It is expected that in so far as is possible corrective measures will be taken for the defects found. The infirmary supplies many common drugs without charge to the student and such services as the staff may render are without charge. Additional services (consul- tations, special nurses, operations, special drugs) recom- mended by the attending physician and approved by the student's parents or guardian must be paid for by the student. STUDENT'S OUTFIT Each student living in a college dormitory is expected to bring for her own use the following articles : Two pairs of single sheets, one pair of blankets, two counter- panes, two pillowcases, six towels, covers for dresser and table, a spoon, and a glass. Only single beds are used. Note : The college laundry stamps each student's wash with a personal mark for identification. BUILDINGS Administration Building.

Home Management House. Prior to 1936 a portion of Jarvis Hall was used for practice purposes for the course in home management. In 1936, on the completion of the new infirmary, the building formerly occupied as an infirmary was converted into a home management house and has since been used for that purpose. It con- tains ten rooms, which allows separate rooms for a group of seniors and an instructor, as well as ample space for entertaining. It also contains an apartment where a smaller group lives on a lower income level. The units of work on each level are run simultaneously. Laboratory School.

The regular bulletins are the annual catalogue, the summer school bulletin, and two others that deal with some phase of teacher training. Recently bulle- tins have dealt with Student Activities, Prognostic Value of High School Grades, Recent Studies by Faculty and Advanced Students, and the Alumni Association. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The Teco Echo, the college paper, is published weekly by the students. It carries the usual college and alumni news, and is designed to furnish an outlet to student expression on all matters pertaining to their educational development. The Tecoan is the college annual. It is published by the students at the close of each regular school year. Pieces O'Eight, a quarterly magazine, is devoted to fiction, humor, and general student activities. 30 East Carolina Teachers College ORGANIZATIONS It is the policy of the College to encourage campus or- ganizations that have for their purpose the building of character, personality and scholarship. The following is a list of such organizations : Association for Childhood Education Beta Kappa Chapter of Pi Omega Pi The Teachers Playhouse College Band College Chorus College Orchestra Commerce Club Emerson Society English Club French Club (Phi Sigma) Home Economics Club Industrial Arts Club International Relations Club Jarvis Forensic Club Lanier Society Mathematics Club Phi Sigma Chapter of the Sigma Pi Alpha Poe Society Robert H. Wright Chapter of the Future Teachers of America Science Club Student World Federalists The Alumni Daughters and Sons Varsity Club Verse Speaking Choir Veterans' Club Women's Athletic Association Women's Chorus Young Men's Christian Association Young Women's Christian Association The Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations The religious interests of the College are centered in the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associa- tions. The Young Women's Association was organized in 1909 and the Young Men's in 1939. Since that time both of the organizations have done very effective work in promoting high ideals among the students. Regular devotional meetings are held to which all members of the student body and the members of the faculty are invited. The organizations have their own building for re- ligious and social activities; and they sponsor a reading room where students may come at their pleasure to read or study. Each year these associations send delegates to the Southern Student Conference held at Blue Ridge, North General Information 31 Carolina, where methods for bettering the coming year's work are studied. These associations render efficient aid in meeting new students and in the organization of the College at the opening of the fall quarter. WESTMINSTER FELLOWSHIP As the name ''Westminster" stands for the Presbyterian Creed, so the word "Fellowship" suggests the friendships formed as Presbyterians worship, play and study together on our campus. The Presbyterian Church is about five blocks from the campus, and the College students have their own special Sunday class with their own Student Director. BAPTIST STUDENT UNION For several years the Baptist Student Union has been active in promoting and unifying the several voluntary religious activities of students in the two local Baptist churches. The denomination provides a Student Center and a full-time Secretary to work with the College group. The B. S. U. seeks to give attention to the individual, spiritual, and social needs of students and encourages at- tendance at church services. CANTERBURY CLUB The Canterbury Club is the organization for College students belonging to the Episcopal Church. It meets for breakfast each Sunday morning following early Com- munion Service. At Christmas the Club sponsors a party, and in the spring, one week-end is spent at Camp Leach near Washington, N. C. The club is affiliated with the Association of Canterbury Clubs which is the stu- dent section of the Church Society for College Work of the National Council of the Episcopal Church. THE WESLEY FOUNDATION The Wesley Foundation is the Methodist Church at work on the College campus. The objective of the en- 32 East Carolina Teachers College tire program is to bring students to know God through Jesus Christ and to express His spirit in all life's rela- tionships. The Methodist Student Center located just across the campus on East Fifth Street is a "Home away from home," offering the students Christian fellowship, relaxation, understanding, sympathetic guidance and in- spiration for Christian living. The Counselor, Miss Mamie Chandler, lives in the Center and welcomes the students at any time. Jarvis Memorial Methodist Church welcomes the stu- dents to all its services, and provides a special class for students in the Church school. CHRISTIAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Christian Student Association was organized on the campus last year for student members of the Disciples of Christ. The Student Center or "church home" is lo- cated at 515 East Eighth Street. The C. S. A. has as its purpose spiritual guidance and practice in church stew- ardship. CATHOLIC STUDENTS DISCUSSION CLUB The Catholic Students Discussion Club meets once a week. Topics of timely interest are discussed from their religious aspect. The local group is a part of a state-wide organization recently formed. COLLEGE CHAPEL Voluntary chapel services are held each Tuesday at 12 o'clock noon in the Austin Auditorium. Various clergy- men and religious leaders are invited to speak at these services. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION On June 5, 1912, the Alumni Association of the College was organized by the classes of 1911 and 1912, formu- lating as its purpose — "to develop a spirit of cooperation among its members, to increase a spirit of loyalty to its General Information 33 Alma Mater, and to promote the general welfare of the institution." A regular meeting of the Association is held on Alumni Day of each commencement. Alumni headquarters — one large room on the main floor of the Austin Building partitioned to include an office, a filing room, and a reception room — was pro- vided and furnished by the Administration in February 1940; and a general full-time secretary for the Asso- ciation was employed by the cooperation of the Associa- tion and the College. In 1944, the secretary's salary, travel and office maintenance were included in the Col- lege budget. The assistant's salary was provided by the Alumni Association. Later, salary for assistants was placed in the College budget. Since its organization the Association has made sev- eral gifts to the College, among which are the memo- rials — the Kate R. Beckwith Gateway; the Austin Loan Fund; the Wilson Memorial; a contribution to the Rob- ert H. Wright Loan Fund; and the establishment of a loan fund in honor of the four original members of the faculty who served until retirement — Miss Maria D. Graham and Miss Sallie Joyner Davis, retired in 1945, and Miss Mamie E. Jenkins and Miss Kate W. Lewis, retired in 1946. In 1940 the Association began the annual presentation of a symbolic alumni award to a graduate in recognition of achievement. The first recipient was Miss Pattie Dowell, who was the first registrant and the first gradu- ate of the College and who has achieved much in the field of teaching. The other recipients of the award are Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart Bennett (1941), Miss Bonnie C. Howard (1942), Mrs. Alia May Jordan Holland (1943), Mr. Robert Sugg Fleming (1944), Mrs. Annie Laurie Brinkley McDonald (1945), Mr. Robert A. "Bob" Eason (1946), Mr. Clifton Britton (1947), Mrs. Elsie Morgan Rogers (1948), and Dr. Malene Grant Irons (1949). In the fall of 1947 Homecoming Day was observed for the first time in many years. Plans are being made to 34 East Carolina Teachers College make this an annual affair. Saturday, October 14, 1950. has been set as the next Homecoming Day. The officers of the Association are elected every two years. Those serving for 1949-'51 are Mildred Harrison Bullard, president ; Ella Moore, vice-president ; and Ruth White, treasurer. The District Vice-Presidents are elect- ed on even years. The present officers are Mrs. Eliza- beth Stewart Bennett, Western District; Stanley Scar- borough, South Piedmont District; Baxter Ridenhour, Northwestern District; Mrs. Leola Pleasant Lassiter, North Central District; Miss Grace Smith, Northeastern District; and Miss Bessie Fay Hunt, Southeastern Dis- trict. BUREAU OF FIELD SERVICES Through the Bureau of Field Services the College is prepared to offer to the public schools and to teachers in service in North Carolina guidance in conducting educational workshops, a small number of extension courses, aid in educational clinics in special fields, speakers for special occasions, assistance in educational surveys and curriculum studies, and consultation on special problems. The College welcomes requests for assistance in any of the projects mentioned above. The service it can give is limited by the faculty teaching load on the campus. The Bureau endeavors to spread the services it renders as widely as possible over Eastern North Caro- lina rather than concentrate it in a small area. Fees for extension courses are set by the Board of Trustees. Necessary expenses for other services ren- dered should be borne by the organization or school unit served since the College budget does not carry an item for this purpose. General Information 35 DEPARTMENT OF AIR SCIENCE AND TACTICS East Carolina Teachers College maintains an Air Re- serve Officers Training Corps Unit. The board of trustees in 1948 entered into an agreement with the Federal Gov- ernment for the establishment of a voluntary Air ROTC Unit. Air ROTC is an elective course of military training for men students who are physically qualified. Air ROTC training consists of a basic course of four quarters, followed by an advanced course of two years. Students in the basic course are furnished, without charge, an officers' uniform, including shoes, and text- books. College credit of two hours per quarter is given. Graduates of the basic course are eligible to take the advanced course. Students in Air ROTC are not subject to the draft if doing good work and when deferred by the Professor of Air Science and Tactics. This defer- ment is effective even in case of war or other national emergency until the college education is completed or otherwise terminated. Men who have had one year or more of active service in the Air Forces, Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, are eligible to apply for admission to the advanced course also. Selection for the advanced course, not to exceed a quota set by the Department of the Air Force, is made by the President of the College and the PAS&T. Students entering the advanced course receive a uniform allowance approximately sufficient to purchase the re- quired officers' uniform and commutation in lieu of ra- tions of approximately $27.00 per month. This allow- ance is in addition to benefits received by the veteran under the *'GI Bill of Rights". Textbooks are also fur- nished free. The advanced course carries college credit of three quarter hours. A student who successfully completes the advanced course and is recommended by the President of the Col- lege and the PAS&T is commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force Reserve. 36 East Carolina Teachers College If a student ranks in the upper one-third of his class in academic standing, he may apply for a regular air force commission. Prospective students who desire further information should write to the Professor of Air Science and Tactics, East Carolina Teachers College, Greenville, North Caro- lina. III.

STUDENT LOAN FUNDS Since the founding of the College in 1909, graduating classes, alumni, organizations, and individual friends of the College have contributed toward loan funds for worthy students. The first gift toward a loan fund was made by the Class of 1911, the first class to be graduated from the College. For more than a decade, each succeeding class made a liberal contribution toward that fund which was called the "Students Loan Fund." The Class of 1922 named their gift the "Wilson Loan Fund." The alumni established the "Beckwith Loan Fund" and the "Austin Loan Fund." During the year 1946 the Alumni Association estab- lished a loan fund of $1,200.00 in honor of Miss Sallie Joyner Davis, Miss Maria D. Graham, Miss Mamie E. Jenkins and Miss Kate W. Lewis all of whom were mem- bers of the first College faculty. 40 East Carolina Teachers College Other donors of loan funds together with present values of those loans are listed below : Fund Total a.

The major portion of the secondary school course ac- cepted for admission should be definitely correlated with the curriculum to which the student is admitted. All students entering from high school who have less than an average grade of "3" on transcripts will be re- quired to take a battery of tests for guidance purposes. Entering students who make low scores on these tests may be required, by their major adviser, to take certain courses without credit as a basis for further work in such fields as English, science, mathematics and social studies.

No credit will be given for courses that carry the lowest passing grade when submitted on transcript from another college. EXTENSION AND CORRESPONDENCE A student is not allowed, except by special permission from his adviser, and then only when he is carrying less than the maximum amount of work, either to begin or to continue correspondence or extension courses while tak- ing work in residence at East Carolina Teachers College. 46 East Carolina Teachers College Moreover, a student enrolled for correspondence or extension work with another college must notify his ad- viser when he is taking such courses.

Students will not receive credit for correspond- ence courses in the major field. Correspondence courses will not be accredited toward the Masters' degree. FRESHMAN REGISTRATION In order to facilitate the process of adjustment which the beginning student must pass through, the College has set up at the beginning of the fall quarter a "Freshman Registration" program for all students who are entering here for the first time.

All students entering the College for the first time are required to be present at all appointments comprising the freshman registration program. SUMMER QUARTER It is the aim of the College to render every service it may to advance the best interests of public education in our State. Realizing that many teachers wish to study after their schools close, that they may better equip themselves for their profession; also realizing that all the schools of the counties do not close at the same time, Admission 47 the College, to meet these conditions, will admit students at the beginning of any regular quarter, and in addition to this it conducts a summer quarter. The summer quarter is equivalent in all respects to any other quarter in the college year. Credits completed in the summer quarter count toward graduation. If there is sufficient demand for any of the courses offered in this catalogue, the course is given. See sum- mer school bulletin for information in detail. V. TEACHER'S CERTIFICATES For Teachers In The Elementary Schools Before any certificate will be issued for teaching in the elementary schools, the records from the institution in which the applicant received his training must show that he has reached a satisfactory state of proficiency in spelling and penmanship.

Teachers' Certificates 55 STUDENT-TEACHING AND PLACEMENT SERVICE Student-teaching is recognized generally as the cul- minating aspect of one's professional preparation for teaching. Adequate facilities for the administration and supervision of this phase of the student's work are pro- vided by East Carolina Teachers College. The campus elementary school, the Greenville High School and sev- eral high schools in the service area of the College are utilized. Before admission to student-teaching the student must have attained classification as a senior in the College and have met all departmental prerequisites. Also he must have accumulated at least as many quality points as he has quarter hours of credit and have a general average of not less than "3" in his major and minor field of preparation. Moreover, a student will not be ad- mitted to student-teaching until he has completed at least two full quarters of work at East Carolina Teachers Col- lege. Furthermore the student must be in good standing on the records in the office of the Dean of Men or Dean of Women. All applications for admission to student-teaching must be made to the Director of Student-Teaching and Place- ment during the registration period of the spring quarter prior to the academic year in which the student-teaching is to be done. Student-teaching outside Greenville will be permitted for credit only in cases where local facilities are inade- quate and then only when the supervisory staff of the College makes all the arrangements with school officials. Students who are preparing for certification complete the student-teaching requirements during a single quar- ter, during which they spend the entire day in the lab- oratory school. As a general policy students will not be permitted to take any course concurrently with student- teaching except Ed. 318s, which is required. Student- teaching is permitted only in the field of major prepara- tion. 56 East Carolina Teachers College Enrollment in the student-teaching courses is com- pleted only when the student-teacher has registered in the office of Student-Teaching and Placement. Placement service is available gratis to alP* graduates of East Caro- lina Teachers College and graduates of other institutions who have completed (or have in progress) at least 15 quarter hours of course work in this institution. All requests by employing officials are referred to the office of Student-Teaching and Placement. Therefore it is imperative that registration in this office be completed promptly if a registrant expects prompt and effective service. ♦♦ Graduates with the A.B. degree are especially urged to register. VI. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS CLASSIFICATION Students working toward the completion of a definite curriculum in East Carolina Teachers College will be registered with a definite classification, as Freshman Primary, Senior Grammar Grade, etc. Students taking a limited schedule of study (not more than eight hours) will be classified as special students. Students having fewer than 45 quarter hours of credit are classified as Freshmen; those with 46 to 98 quarter hours are classi- fied as Sophomores; those with 99 to 151 quarter hours are classified as Juniors; and those with 152 quarter hours or more are classified as Seniors. CREDIT The College operates on the quarter plan. The fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters are each approxi- mately twelve weeks in length. The College is in ses- sion six days a week. Most classes meet three days a week. A quarter hour of credit is earned by one recita- tion period a week for one quarter; three quarter hours of credit are earned in a class that meets three times a week for a quarter, etc. Credit will not be allowed on courses taken which sub- stantially duplicate courses already completed. CLASS ABSENCE REGULATIONS Regularity of class attendance is expected of all stu- dents. Every class absence incurs the loss of some educa- tional value to the student and places an added responsi- bility on both the student and the instructor. Absences in considerable numbers may lead to a lowering of scho- lastic standards. Students are charged with absence from classes missed because of late enrollment. (1) A student may be permitted no more than two un- excused absences in a course during a quarter. 58 East Carolina Teachers College (2) Additional absences may be approved on applica- tion of the student to the Dean of the College. Only illness of the student, serious illness in his immediate family, representation of the College in a recognized activity, or like important matter will be interpreted as an emergency justifying such additional class absence. Application for approval of additional absences must be made within one week after the students return to class. Unexcused absences on the day before or the day after a regular or special holiday will count as "double cuts." (3) A student shall not receive credit for a course in which the unexcused absences exceed two or the total number of class absences equals 25 per cent of the num- ber of class meetings of that course during the quarter except that juniors, seniors, and graduate students who have a grade average of "2" on all previous college work and who have a satisfactory student government record may have 4 unexcused class absences on courses that carry three hours credit or more. It is understood that all work missed due to class ab- sence shall be made up to the satisfaction of the in- structor. In case of emergency-absence under regulation (2) the student will fill out an APPLICATION FOR EMER- GENCY-ABSENCE form, secure the signature of the in- structor or instructors concerned, and return the form to the Dean of the College. GRADES AND SCHOLARSHIP A grade-point system is used to calculate all student scholarship standings. The grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and c are used by this College; 1 is the highest grade given, 4 is the lowest passing grade, and 5 is a failing grade. A grade of c indicates a condition on the course because the student has not completed the requirements of the course. No additional classwork shall be required to complete the course. In quantitative values the grade 1 earns 3 grade points a quarter hour on the course; the grade 2 earns 2 grade Academic Regulations 59 points a quarter hour ; and the grade 3 earns 1 grade point a quarter hour. No grade points are given for a grade of 4, and one grade point is deducted from the student's total for each credit hour failed. After the close of each quarter, reports of the standing of all students in all their studies are sent to parents or guardians. The minimum scholarship requirement is as follows : (a) A freshman must pass some work his first quarter. During his second and third quarters, he must pass at least six hours each quarter. Furthermore, a freshman must pass at least 30 hours during his first three quarters. (b) During the fourth, fifth, and sixth quarters, a stu- dent must pass not less than nine hours each quarter. Moreover, a student who fails to pass a total of 35 hours during this period will be dropped. (c) A student will not be enrolled the third or fourth year if he has failed to earn as many quality points as he has hours. Furthermore, third and fourth year students must pass a minimum of 40 hours for each of the two years. A student who has a shortage of quality points may at- tend summer sessions of this Institution to make up the deficiency, but such deficiency may not be removed through correspondence or attendance at another college. The grade point-credit ratio of transfer students will be considered "1" or average for all credit hours accepted toward the completion of the student's curriculum. No credit will be given for courses that carry the low- est passing grade when submitted on transcript from an- other college. REGULATIONS CONCERNING STUDENTS' PROGRAM All regular students are required to schedule at least 12 quarter hours a quarter. Courses may be dropped within the first four weeks of the quarter provided such changes are approved by the 60 East Carolina Teachers College teacher whose courses are concerned, by the student's adviser, and by the Registrar, If a course is pursued for four or more weeks after registration and then dropped that course will be reported as failed and so counted in arranging the program of work for the next quarter. A student may take eighteen hours without restrictions. To be permitted to take nineteen hours a student must have earned at least a three average in his work of the preceding quarter, and have the approval of his adviser. With the approval of his major adviser and the commit- tee on credits, a student who has earned an average of two in his work the preceding quarter may take twenty hours. No departure from the above regulations may be made without the approval of the committee on credits. All regular students must schedule a minimum of twelve hours a quarter. A student cannot enter courses later than the begin- ning of the second week of the quarter and get credit for such courses. A student may drop courses from his program and take other courses instead, provided such changes are made before the beginning of the second week of the quar- ter and provided also that such changes are approved by the teachers whose courses are concerned, by the stu- dent's adviser, and by the Registrar. A special student, having a schedule of fewer than nine hours, must receive a passing mark on each subject scheduled in order to be eligible for readmission to the next succeeding quarter of the College. A substitution for a required course shall be another course in the same department. A student is not permitted to elect courses whose num- bers are more than one classification removed from the student's own classification, except seniors electing courses numbered below 100 will be allowed no more than two-thirds of the credit such courses carry. Elective courses in any curriculum are decided upon jointly by the student and his major adviser. Academic Regulations 61 The student's major adviser has authority on all curri- cula matters except minor requirements which are di- rected jointly by the minor and major advisers. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Any student who receives a degree from East Carolina Teachers College must have done as much as one year (36 weeks) in residence study in this College. The three quarters need not be consecutive, but the last quarter of residence study previous to graduation must be done in this College. He must also meet the curricula require- ments of the catalogue under which he enters or of some subsequent catalogue, provided that no student will be permitted to graduate under a catalogue issued more than seven years prior to the date of his graduation. No person pursuing a teacher-training curriculum will be graduated from the College who has not fully met all the requirements laid down by the State Department of Certification for the Teacher's Certificate to which his curriculum specifically leads. In order to graduate, all students shall have earned at least as many grade points as they have quarter hours of credit on courses used for graduation, and shall have a general grade average of *'3" or better on courses taken in each major field and in each minor field of study. Grades made on courses taken by correspondence, by extension, and in summer schools other than East Carolina Teachers College shall not be considered. Before receiving a degree from the College or transfer- ring credit to another college a student must satisfy com- pletely the requirements of regular participation in activi- ties courses in Physical Education. When a student changes from one curriculum to an- other he shall notify the Registrar in writing, stating the major he is dropping and the one he is taking up. Before he can take a degree in the curriculum to which he has transferred, he must meet all the requirements of that curriculum at the time he changed or at a later 62 East Carolina Teachers College time. A student who changes curriculum must com- plete three full quarters of work after making the change. Presence at graduating exercises is required, except when permission for graduation in absentia has been granted by the Registrar. A written request for such a permission must be made at least ten days before com- mencement. Application for graduation must be made on a blank provided by the College not later than registration day of the last quarter the student is enrolled in the College. The diploma fee of $5.00 must accompany the applica- tion. Before a student is granted a diploma he is required to pass a test in spelling. Students majoring in primary and grammar grade work must also pass a proficiency test in handwriting. To pass the spelling requirement the student must make a score equal to or better than the eighth grade norm on each of two standard spelling tests. To pass the handwriting requirements the student must equal or better the quality score of seventy on the Ayer's handwriting scale. Passing scores in these tests con- stitute a prerequisite to practice teaching. These tests will be offered and students will be required to take them during the first year in residence. Names of those pass- ing the tests will be reported to the Registrar's office on the form regularly used to report class grades. Upperclassmen whose written work is so poor as to lack clearness and accuracy may be reported by their teachers to the Committee on Standards in Written Com- position and assigned to the English Department for remedial work until their advisers and the Committee are satisfied that they no longer need help.
