GENERAL INFORMATIONHISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

In 1863, eighteen years after the Christian Brothers first came

to the United States, the development of Catholic education in the

Diocese of Philadelphia had created the need for a Catholic college

within the limits of the city. To that end, a group of eminent

priests and laymen, led by the Most Reverend James Frederick

Wood, later Archbishop of Philadelphia, obtained a charter for the

incorporation of La Salle College from the Legislature of the Com-

monwealth of Pennsylvania. The Christian Brothers' Academy,

which had been organized during the previous year as a part of St.

Michael's parochial school, became the nucleus of the new college.

By 1929, when it was moved to its present site, the College had

already outgrown three previous locations. And almost as soon as

the College and Faculty buildings were occupied, ground was broken

for the field house, which was ready for use early in 1930.

Since then the continued growth of the academic and athletic

programs of the College has necessitated additional facilities. These

include McCarthy Stadium, built in 1937 and named for John A.

McCarthy, a generous benefactor of the College; McShain Hall,

dedicated in 1940 and named for John McShain, another generous

benefactor; Leonard Hall, the student union building, completed in

1947 and named for Brother Gervald Leonard, whose devoted serv

ice to the men of La Salle College has endeared his memory to all

who knew him; and Benilde Hall, a new building with facilities for

nine classrooms and offices for members of the faculty. It is named

for Blessed Brother Benildus, the second Christian Brother whomthe Holy See has seen fit to consider for canonization. A new Li-

brary building, designed to house more than 100,000 volumes and to

provide ample research and study facilities for the students and faculty

of the College is scheduled to be formally dedicated and ready for

use in the fall term, 1952 (see perspective in center of catalog).

There are no living accommodations on the campus for out-of-town

students, but such students are able to obtain accommodations with

private families in the immediate vicinity. Two modern dormitory

buildings of collegiate-Gothic architecture are now under construc-

tion and will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1953 (see per-

spective opposite pages 46 and 47).

16


English (four years) 3 units

Mathematics:

Elementary Algebra 1 unit

Plane Geometry 1 unit

History 1 unit

Natural Science 1 unit

2Modern Language 2 units

The remaining six units must be in academic subjects. However,

applicants for the Business Program may submit commercial subjects

such as Business Law and Bookkeeping. Typing is not acceptable.

It is recommended that applicants for the Science and Mathematics

Program have high school Mathematics through Trigonometry.

When the applicant's credentials have been reviewed and ap'

proved by the Committee on Admissions, he is advised of the date

set for any entrance examinations that he may be required to take.

In general, these examinations include tests of ability and aptitude,

language qualification, and reading comprehension. College Board

Entrance Examinations may be substituted for the La Salle College

Entrance Examinations. As soon as the results of the entrance exami'

nations have been evaluated, the applicant is notified regarding his

admission status with the college. If he has been accepted, he is sent

certain preregistration material, together with a medical examination

form to be filled out by his family physician.

A satisfactory interview confirms his acceptance.

Admission of Veterans

Veterans are admitted to the Freshman class on the same general

basis as non'veterans. However, due weight is given to the prospec-

tive student's military experience, which may be sufficient to over-

come deficiencies in his high school record and to obviate the require

ment for certain of the entrance examinations. The veteran follows

the same application procedure as the non-veteran, but must submit,

in addition, a certificate of eligibility from the Veterans' Administra-

tion.

The deadline for most World War II veterans starting a course

of education was July 25, 1951. The G.I. bill provided generally

that training must have been initiated by July 25, 1951, or four

2 The two units must be in the same foreign language (French, German, Italian, Spanish,

etc.); a student may be admitted to the College even though he cannot meet the foreign

language requirement, but he must, in that case, take two years of modern foreign language

(French, German, Italian, or Spanish) in College, without receiving credit for the first year.

20 La Salle College

years after a veteran's discharge, whichever is later; and it must be

completed by July 25, 1956. Veterans are subject to the 1951 and

1956 cut'off dates, but there are the following exceptions:

1. Veterans discharged after July 25, 1947, have four years

from date of discharge in which to begin G.I. bill training. However,

they must finish by June 25, 1956.

2. Veterans who enlisted or re-enlisted under the Armed Forces

Voluntary Recruitment Act (between October 6, 1945, and October

5, 1946) are not bound by either deadline. Instead, they have four

years from the end of that enlistment or re-enlistment period in which

to start, and nine years from that time in which to complete their

course of training.

3. Veterans who enlisted on or after June 27, 1950, regardless

of where they served, are eligible for one and one-half days educa-

tion or training for each day of service. The maximum training per-

mitted is 36 months, which is four school years.

Veterans who served both in World War II and since June 27,

1950 are eligible for further education and training benefits under

the new law providing the total period received does not exceed 48

months. Thus, a World War II veteran who received 36 months of

training under the original bill is limited to a maximum of 12 months

additional training under the new law. If he received the full 48

months training under the World War II law, he cannot receive any

additional education or training benefits even if his later service

would ordinarily have entitled him to 36 months.

Admission with Advanced Standing

La Salle College will admit a student who has attended another

college provided his scholastic record is satisfactory in every respect.

A student desiring to transfer to La Salle from another college fol-

lows the same general procedure as an entering Freshman, except

that a transcript of his college work must be submitted in place of the

high school record and that he need take no entrance examinations.

Veterans who have pursued special training courses during mili-

tary service may be admitted with advanced standing, provided the

courses they have taken in service approximate courses included in

the program of their choice at La Salle. Records in these courses are


evaluated in accordance with the procedures that have been sug'

gested by the American Council on Education.

Students admitted with advanced standing must complete the

senior year in residence at La Salle College in order to be eligible for

a degree.

THE COLLEGE TESTING PROGRAM

After the student has been admitted, he is advised by the Col'

lege Guidance Center of the day on which he is to appear for addi'

tional tests that are designed to assist him in evaluating himself and

in helping him to correct any habits or deficiencies that may have an

adverse effect on his college career. The specific tests administered

are an Interest Inventory, to determine whether or not the student's

measured interests are the same as those he claims to have; an Adjust'

ment Inventory, to determine whether or not the student has personal

problems that may detract from his attention to his college work;

a Study'Habits Inventory, to determine whether or not the student

has developed those habits of organisation and concentration that

will enable him to derive the greatest benefit from his college career;

and a Reading Test, to determine whether or not the student has

difficulty in comprehending written materials—which play such a

large part in the college learning process.

After these tests have been administered and scored, each stU'

dent is called back to the Guidance Center for a personal interview.

He is then apprised of the results of his tests and of any difficulties

that he may encounter. If the need for them is indicated, the stU'

dent may be given additional aptitude and ability tests. Those stU'

dents who show deficiencies in study habits and/or in reading com'

prehension are given special assistance during the Freshman year.

After the student has completed his tests and interviews with

the Guidance Center, he is given an appointment for a personal

interview with the Dean of the College. During this interview, any

information which may have bearing upon the student's college

performance is made a matter of record and the student is given the

opportunity to select the courses that he wishes to take within his

chosen program of studies.

22 La Salle College

Language Placement Tests

A Freshman may continue the modern language studied in high

school or elect the elementary course in a new language. If he elects

the language previously studied in high school, he is required to take

the placement test during the Freshman Orientation Program. Astudent who does not qualify in the language placement test must

register for the elementary course either in the language previously

studied or a new language. Students registering for the Bachelor of

Science Degree in Business Administration may elect Sociology in

place of a modern language. College credit is given for the elemen-

tary course in foreign language only when the language has not been

previously studied in high school.

The Freshman Orientation Program

All entering Freshmen are required to report two weeks before

the opening of classes in September. Part of this two-week period

is taken up with the administration of the language placement tests

described above and with the mechanics of registering for courses

for the Fall term. The bulk of the time, however, is given over to

an intensive one-credit course in College Orientation.

The subject matter of this course consists of such topics as

study habits, note-taking, time-budgeting, and other aspects of col-

lege study, and of the aims, ideals, customs, and traditions of La

Salle. In addition, the National Freshman Testing Program is

administered.

This testing program measures the abilities and general develop-

ment of each student in comparison with entering college freshmen

throughout the United States, thus providing the student with an

excellent opportunity to shape his college program, both curricular

and extra-curricular, in such a manner as to strengthen any weak

points that have been revealed by the tests. (This testing program is

followed up at the end of the Sophomore year by the National Soph-

omore Testing Program, the results of which are made available to

the student before he selects his program for the last two years of

college. These results show him whether or not he has improved

his relative standing in the country's college population and whether

or not he has succeeded in overcoming any weaknesses that were

revealed by the Freshman Testing Program.)


This combination of tests and interviews makes available to the

student the best objective measuring services that have so far been

devised, with the purpose in view of helping him to achieve that

adjustment which is so essential to happiness and success in life

—

as well as in college.

THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR

The scholastic year is divided into two full semesters of sixteen

weeks each. Semesters ordinarily commence in September and

February.

REGISTRATION

At the end of each school year, students select the courses which

they wish to take during the following academic year. These selec-

tions are limited by the requirements set forth in the section on

Programs of Study. Elective courses must have the written ap-

proval of the Course Adviser for the curriculum which the student is

following, and deviations from requirements or changes in curriculum

must have the written approval of the Dean.

Actual registration for courses, except in the case of Freshmen,

takes place in the week preceding the resumption of classes. Fresh'

man registration is included in the program of the two weeks preced'

ing the beginning of classes.

No student may register for more than eighteen semester credit

hours of work without the permission of the Dean.

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES

The last week of each term is set apart for examinations.

Examinations at other times are given whenever the instructors deem

advisable. A progress report on each student is submitted to the

Office of the Dean at the middle of each term. Permanent records

are made only of the final course grades. To determine the final

course grades, recitations, written work and the final examina-

tion are considered. In recording the final grade for each course,

the following system is employed: "A" (superior), "B" (very good),

"C" (average), "D" (passed), "F11

(failure), "I" (incomplete), 3

3 The incomplete grade is given to a student who has not complied with all the require-

ments of a course. It is not given to a student who has failed. An incomplete grade becomes

a failure if it is not removed before the third week of the succeeding term.

24 La Salle College

"W—" (withdrawn),

4 "N" (conditional) .

5 Course grades are issued

at the end of each term.

A semester credit hour is defined as one hour of lecture or recita-

tion, or the equivalent of two hours of laboratory time per week for

one term. The number of quality points per course is the product of

the number of semester credit hours and the grade. An "A" grade

is equal to three quality points per credit hour; a "B" grade, two

quality points per credit hour; a "C" grade, one quality point per

credit hour. Grades lower than "C" do not merit quality points.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTSOR SCIENCE DEGREE

The candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts must have

completed course work equivalent to 128 semester hours and have

attained a quality point score of 128. He must have completed

the prescribed work in the Lower and Upper Divisions as described

under the section Programs OF Study. The Bachelor of Science

degree is conferred on those students who complete all of the above

requirements in the Area of Business Administration.

All students must complete the senior year in residence in order

to be eligible for a degree.

ATTENDANCE

All students are expected to attend classes regularly. An allow-

able number of absences is permitted to provide for conditions be-

yond the control of the student. Cumulative absences of more than

two weeks or consecutive absences of more than one week in any

course are regarded as excessive. The instructor of the course will

deal with such cases in accordance with the circumstances which

necessitated the absence and will notify the Dean's office in either

case. A student who is absent to excess and without good reason is

4 Withdrawal grades are "WX," "WP," "WF." An explanation of these grades is

given in the student handbook.

5 The conditional grade is given at the end of the first term of a two-term course when

the work of the first term has been too poor to merit a passing grade, but when the student's

attitude and progress in the course indicate that he may be able to pass the work of the

second term. If the student then receives an "F" grade for the second term, the "N" for

the first term also becomes an "F"; if he receives a passing grade ("A," "B," "C," or "D"),

his grade for the first term becomes a "D" and he receives whatever grade he has earned

for the second term. Two-term courses are designated in the section AREAS OF INSTRUC-TION by an asterisk (*) before the course number.


given a grade of "F." Attendance is noted from the first regular

class meeting regardless of the time of registration.

WITHDRAWALS

A student who withdraws from the College must submit a writ'

ten statement to that effect to the Dean. In the event that a student

withdraws without submitting the above notification, except where

parents or guardian have made a similar request in writing, honorable

dismissal is not granted. The date of filing a notice of withdrawal is

considered as the date of withdrawal in all cases.

'

SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS

Recipients of academic scholarships must maintain a "B11

aver'

age; otherwise the scholarship is forfeited.

DELINQUENT STUDENTS

Whenever, in the opinion of the Committee on Academic Stand'

ing, a student shows by poor scholarship that he is no longer profiting

by the educational program of the college, he will be asked to

withdraw.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

An organised physical training program is provided for all

Freshmen. Every student, except those enrolled in the Reserve Officer

Training Program, must participate in the minimum requirement of

one period per week of systematic exercise under the supervision of

an instructor. Students whose physical condition does not permit

strenuous exercise are permitted to substitute a milder program.

Exception to the minimum requirement is made only in extreme cases

of incapacity. A physician's certificate is required for any exemption

from the full program.

26 La Salle College

THE RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING PROGRAM

The primary purpose of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is

to produce commissioned officers for the Organized Reserve Corps

and the Regular Army.

R.O.T.C. instruction is divided into two phases: the Basic Course

and the Advanced Course. The Basic Course consists of two aca-

demic years of instruction (MS 101 a, b; 202 a, b). All freshman

and sophomore students who meet the following requirements are

required to enroll in the Basic Course. They must be:

1. Citizens of the United States;

2. Physically qualified under standards prescribed by the De-

partment of the Army;

3. Accepted by La Salle College as a regularly enrolled student;

4. Not less than 14 years of age and under 23 years at the time

of enrollment;

5. Pass such general survey or screening tests as may apply.

Students who have had previous military service or training may re-

ceive credit for the first year, or, both years of the Basic Course if the

previous service or training is substantially equivalent to that part of

the Basic Course for which credit is given.

Those students who have successfully completed the Basic Course

and who are selected by the President of the College and the Profes-

sor of Military Science and Tactics, may be enrolled in the Advanced

Course. Elegible students enrolled in the Basic or Advanced Courses

may be deferred from induction into the Armed Forces.

The Advanced Course consists of two academic years of instruc-

tion (MS 303 a, b; 404 a, b) and six weeks of training in a summer

camp for artillery students conducted at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Three

hours per week are devoted to military subjects during the Basic

Course, and five hours per week during the Advanced Course.

Students do not receive any pay while pursuing the Basic Course.

As a member of the Advanced Course, students receive approximately

$27 per month, and, while at summer camp, receive approximately

$75 per month, plus food, lodging, uniforms, equipment, medical care

and travel pay to and from the camp.

Uniforms, textbooks and equipment are issued to the students at

the beginning of each school year and must be turned in by the stu-


dents at the end of the school year. Textbooks are issued for military-

subjects only. Uniforms must be worn one day each week.

Students are required to maintain a satisfactory scholastic stand'

ing in all subjects to remain in the advanced R.O.T.C. course. Dueto the fact that the enrollment quota decreases throughout the four

year course, it may be necessary to drop some students even though

they have made a passing grade in military subjects. Therefore, it

behooves each R.O.T.C. student to make the highest grade possible.

Upon satisfactory completion of the R.O.T.C. course, students

will be eligible for a commission in the Organized Reserve Corps. Afew outstanding students will be eligible for a commission in the

Regular Army.

Prospective students who desire information concerning the

Reserve Officers1

Training Program should communicate with the

Professor of Military Science and Tactics, La Salle College, Phik'

delphia 41, Pennsylvania.

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS

Regulations

All tuition, fees, and other expenses are to be paid within ten

(10) days after the beginning of the current term, or an arrangement

must be made with the Bursar of the College within the same period

for the establishment of a deferred payment plan. The Bursar of

the College issues and makes all adjustments on all student bills.

Tuition and fee bills are mailed to the address indicated on the stU'

dent's registration card. Each student is responsible for receiving his

own bill. If a tuition bill is not received within ten (10) days after

registration, the student should apply at the Bursar's office for a

duplicate.

Deferred Payments

Provision is made under a deferred payment plan for students

who may have difficulty in meeting their total expenses in advance.

The student is required to enter into a contract 1 whereby he agrees to

pay his Tuition, General Fee and the Carrying Charge Fee for De'

ferred Payment in four (4) equal installments per term. Under this

agreement oncfourth of the total expense must be paid within ten

(10) days after the beginning of the current term.

A fee of $5.00 per term is charged for servicing deferred payment accounts. If the total expense is paid within sixty days of

signing the agreement the deferred payment fee will be waived.

1 In all instances where a deferred payment plan is requested, the student or, if he is a

minor, his parent must sign a note for the unpaid balance and the signer will be strictly

responsible for making payments when due.

The privilege of dividing payments is not to be construed as an arrangement whereby a

student may contract for less than a full term of work in the courses for which he registers

or be relieved of any part of his tuition obligation.

30 La Salle College

Refunds

Students who withdraw from the College or from a part of their

program of studies for a satisfactory reason before the end of the fifth

of tuition.

Obligations

No student who is delinquent in the payment of tuition or other

fees, or against whom the College holds record of indebtedness, will be

given a diploma of graduation or a transcript of record, until such

indebtedness has been paid. A student, who owes tuition or other

fees at the close of the term, will not be permitted to take his term

examinations nor to receive credit for that term.

ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

Student groups, whether organized for academic, social, ath'

letic, or religious purposes, are an integral part of a well balanced

collegiate program. La Salle College recognizes this and provides

opportunities for the wholesome development of social relationships

that accord with the Christian ideals of the College. All organiza'

tions must be approved by the College faculty and each must include

an adviser who is a member of the faculty. A satisfactory academic

standing and an interest in the affairs of the organization are the

general requisites for membership.

PUBLICATIONS

The major student publications of the College are the La Salle

Collegian and the Explorer. The former is the weekly newspaper,

which serves both as a workshop for students interested in journalism

and as a vehicle for disseminating information to the student body.

The latter is the yearbook published by the members of the graduating

class to serve as a record of college life and of the outstanding events

of the year. A literary magazine, four quarters, is published quar-

terly during the academic year, aimed at focusing the practice and

appreciation of writing in the Catholic tradition and aimed more par'

ticularly at fixing a channel of expression for Faculty, Alumni, and

Students of La Salle College, the Brothers of the Christian Schools,

and selected outside contributors.

ATHLETICS

La Salle College supports a limited program of intramural and

intercollegiate athletics that is designed to meet the needs and serve

the best interests of the entire student body.

Facilities are provided so that all interested students can partici'

pate in intramural touch football, basketball, tennis, baseball, soft-

ball, volleyball, and swimming. In addition, intercollegiate basket-

ball, baseball, tennis, track, crew, swimming, soccer, and golf teams

are maintained.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES

The Chapel of La Salle College provides a convenient center

both for personal meditation and for group worship. Its facilities

and the services of the College Chaplain are available to the student

body at all times. Holy Mass is offered every morning before the

first class. The College marks special events by observances such as

the Mass of the Holy Ghost at the beginning of the school year and

the Military Mass in honor of St. Barbara, the Patroness of Artillery-

men. Each student is given the opportunity of making a retreat with

the members of his class.

There is a student organization, the Adoration Society, which

provides an opportunity for students to show special devotion to the

Blessed Sacrament by maintaining a continuous student vigil of prayer

in the College Chapel during the day.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY

Before a student receives his degree from La Salle College he

must demonstrate that he has mastered the important concepts and

techniques of his field of specialization and that he appreciates the

relationship of his field of specialization to the whole field of knowl-

edge. Experience has shown that this end can best be achieved by

organizing the four years of college study into two parts:

During the first two years (the Lower Division), emphasis is

placed upon general courses, such as English Composition and

Literature, Logic, Rational Psychology, Modern Languages, and

Religion, which constitute the heart of a liberal education. At the

same time the student takes those courses that are prerequisite to his

specialized work.

During the latter two years (the Upper Division), emphasis

is placed upon specialized courses in the student's chosen field of

endeavor. At the same time, he is taking courses, principally in

Philosophy, which lend significance and meaning to his specialized

work.

A wide choice of fields of specialization is available to the stu'

dent entering La Salle College. However, the arrangement described

above makes possible the organization of all these fields of specializa-

tion into three basic programs: the General or Liberal Arts Program,

the Science and Mathematics Program, and the Business Program.

Each provides the elements of a liberal education; each prepares the

student for the pursuit of one of several specialized curricula during

the last two years of his college work.

THE GENERAL OR LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM1

The student who wishes to obtain the degree of Bachelor of

Arts in any of the following fields should apply for admission to the

General or Liberal Arts Program:

l Upper Division curricula and course descriptions for Economics, Education, Govern-

ment, History, and Sociology are listed in the section AREA OF HISTORY AND SOCIALSCIENCE; for Classics (including Greek and Latin), English, and Modern Foreign Language

(including French, German, Italian and Spanish), in the section AREA OF LITERATURE; for

Philosophy and Religion, in the section AREA OF PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION.

THE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS PROGRAM6

The student who wishes to receive the degree of Bachelor of

2 Students who wish to become certified as public school teachers must also designate the

principal subject in which they wish to achieve certification, whether Classics, English, History,

Modern Foreign Languages, or Social Studies. Students who wish to achieve certification in

General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics should apply for admission to the

Science and Mathematics program for their Freshman and Sophomore years.

3 Courses in Religion are not required of non-Catholic students; instead, a two-hour,

two-term course in Basic Philosophy is required.

4 Students who make less than a qualifying grade in the language placement test or whopresent less than two units of modern foreign language from high school are required to take

elementary language during the Freshman year and intermediate language during the Sophomore

year. Students who plan to go to graduate school after completing their course at La Salle are

urged to take French or German as their foreign language because of the importance of these

languages in graduate study.

5 Students may choose between General Biology and College Algebra 6? Trigonometry;

students who have not had Trigonometry in high school are encouraged to elect General

Biology. Algebra and Trigonometry or Mathematical Analysis is recommended to Economics

students.

6 Upper Division curricula and course descriptions for Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,

Physics, and Psychology are listed in the section AREA OF NATURAL SCIENCE ANDMATHEMATICS.


Arts in one of the following fields should apply for admission to the

Science and Mathematics Program:

Biology Mathematics

Chemistry Physics

Psychology

The student who wishes to enter a medical, dental, or similar

professional school must follow the curriculum in Biology or Chem'

istry. The College will not alter its program to enable a student

to meet the entrance requirements of a professional school that ad'

mits students with one or two years of college training. For that

reason, students who intend to enter such professional schools are

advised to ascertain the requirements of the school of their choice

before selecting their program at La Salle College.

Students desiring to pursue the specialized curricula of the

Science and Mathematics Program must complete the courses listed

THE BUSINESS PROGRAM12

The student who wishes to receive the degree of Bachelor of

Science in Business Administration in one of the following fields

should apply for admission to the Business Program:

Accounting Industrial Management

General Business Industrial Relations

Marketing

The Accounting curriculum is designed to ground the student

in all of the accounting processes that he will need in entering busi-

ness, in preparing for the examinations for Certified Public Account'

ant, or in entering a graduate school of accountancy. The General

Business curriculum is designed to prepare the student to enter the

business world well-equipped with a general knowledge of the prin-

ciples that govern business operations, or to enter a graduate school

of business.

The other three Business curricula are more specialized. The

Industrial Management curriculum stresses the economic, ethical,

psychological, and social factors that enter into the organization and

operation of a business establishment; these factors are integrated

with specialized courses in such subjects as Time and Motion Study,

Industrial Relations, and the like. The Industrial Relations cur-

riculum is very similar except that the emphasis is placed upon per-

sonnel relations and labor organization. The Marketing curriculum

stresses the economic, ethical, psychological, and social factors that

enter into advertising, salesmanship, and the other aspects of stimu'

lating and meeting the demand for the products of industry.

Students desiring to pursue the specialized curricula of the

Business Program must complete successfully the courses listed below

during the four terms of the first two years:

12 Upper Division curricula in Business and course descriptions for Accounting, Business

Law, Finance, Industry, Insurance, and Marketing are listed in the section AREA OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

LOWER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS

In order to qualify for admission to the Upper Division, the

student must complete the work of the Lower Division with a

minimum of 64 semester credit hours and a minimum of 64 quality

points. Furthermore, he must make grades of "C" or better in

those courses which are prerequisite to the advanced work in his

chosen field of concentration.

Under unusual circumstances a student may be permitted to

change from one Lower Division Program to another only when his

record indicates that he may profit by such a change. Permission

must be obtained from the Dean. In any case of this type the student

enters the Upper Division on a probation basis. This may entail

taking approved summer courses or an additional semester in college.

UPPER DIVISION REQUIREMENTSThe general requirements for the completion of any of the

Upper Division curricula are the successful completion of 12 hours

in the required Philosophy courses and a minimum of 32 hours in

courses in one Area of Instruction, plus sufficient other courses to

bring the total number of semester credit hours to 64, which, with

13 Students who present two units of modern foreign language from high school may

elect Sociology or they may take the language placement test in an effort to qualify for

intermediate language. Students who present less than two units of modern foreign language

from high school must take elementary language during the Freshman year and intermediate

language during the Sophomore year.

14 Accounting students take Intermediate Accounting (202 a, b); Finance students take

Money and Credit (Finance 301); General Business, Industrial Management and Industrial

Relations students take Principles of Business Organization and Industrial Management (Indus'

try 301-302); and Marketing students take Principles of Marketing (Marketing 301 a, b).

15 In general, this elective should be a non-Business subject.

4 ' La Salle College

the 64 hours earned on the Lower Division, gives the student the

required total of 128 for the four years. There is the further

stipulation that the 64 hours earned on the Upper Division must be

in courses that have been designated as Upper Division courses for

the curriculum which the student is following.

As shown in the sections that follow, the requirements of a

balanced curriculum in some Areas of Instruction are so exacting as

to preclude any election of courses by the student. Where electives

are permitted, they may be taken only with the written consent of

the Course Adviser for the curriculum involved.

AREAS OF INSTRUCTIONThis section includes all of the Upper Division curricula and

the description of all courses arranged according to Area of Instruc-

tion. In general, courses numbered in the one and two hundreds

are Lower Division courses and are offered during each academic

year; courses numbered in the three and four hundreds are Upper

Division courses and are offered as frequently as the needs of the

students may require.

An asterisk (*) before the course number designates a two-term

course; that is, a course in which the second term must be completed

in order to receive credit for the first term's work.

PREPARATION FOR MEDICINE

The large number of students who desire to prepare for medicine has

placed emphasis upon the science program of the College. To meet the

needs of these students a special program of concentration which fulfills the

basic requirements of The Association of American Medical Colleges is pro-

vided. Medical schools which are members of this Association uniformly

require for admission the following courses:

General Inorganic Chemistry 8 s.c.h.

Organic Chemistry 4 s.c.h.

Physics 8 s.c.h.

Biology 8 s.c.h.

English Composition and Literature 6 s.c.h.

In addition to these basic courses, many medical schools specify certain

special courses. It is advisable, therefore, that the premedical student famil-

iarize himself with the exact requirements of the school to which he will

apply.

A prospective medical student' may concentrate in Biology or Chem-

istry and, at the same time, meet the requirements for medical school. Only

those students who do better than average work in the premedical courses

shall qualify for a favorable recommendation from the faculty.

PREPARATION FOR DENTISTRY

The basic requirements for admission to most dental schools are the

same as those for admission to medical schools. The special courses, how-

ever, vary with each school. It is recommended, therefore, that the prospec-

tive dental student acquaint himself with the requirements of the school which

he plans to enter.

A prospective dental student may concentrate in Biology or Chemistry

and, at the same time, meet the requirements for dental school.
