UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
THE UNIVERSITY AND THE WAR
The University of Florida campus today presents a more extensive and varied pattern
of activities than at any time in its history. Prospective civilian students and their parents,
however, may be assured that the physical facilities and instructional staff for the civilian
program are quite adequate, and that there will be no reduction in the effectiveness of any
phase of this program whether that phase involve professional training or a liberal arts
education.
The position of the University of Florida in the pattern of the national war effort has
become increasingly better defined during the past year. Two primary objectives have
guided the adjustments of the University to the present situation: (1) the maintenance of
the complete program of higher education for civilians; and (2) the delegation of as many
University facilities as possible to specialized war training units.
THE ACCELERATED CIVILIAN PROGRAM.-Not only has the University considered it essen-
tial to maintain its complete civilian program, but also to make this program available to
its civilian enrollment in as flexible a state as possible in order that the individual student
may easily adapt it to his peculiar requirements. The most frequent need of the civilian
student is an intensified program making possible the completion of college work in a period
of time much reduced from normal. The opportunity for this acceleration of program is
provided for, first, by an elaboration of the Summer Session offerings. The Summer Session
now consists of two academic terms so organized as to allow the student to complete a full
semester of college work during the summer. This makes possible the completion of three
semesters work during one calendar year as compared with two semesters work during the
same period in a normal program. A second provision for acceleration of program is avail-
able in connection with the Comprehensive Courses which constitute the major portion of
the General College program. It is possible for the well-equipped student, studying on his
own initiative, to prepare for certain of these examinations and complete the first two years
work considerably in advance of the usual time.
THE WAR TRAINING UNITS.-A decreased civilian enrollment has released certain of the
facilities of the University for conversion to the training of Army units in specialized
courses, not available to the civilian student. At first the facilities released largely con-
sisted of physical equipment of the University, i.e., class rooms, housing and feeding
facilities, etc., but during the past year it has been possible to assign a portion of the time
of certain faculty members for instructional duties with some of these units.
As early as 1939 there was established at the University a unit of the Civilian Pilot
Training Program. This unit was absorbed March 1, 1943, by the 62nd College Training
Detachment of the Army Air Forces. The University furnishes to this detachment instruc-
tional, housing and feeding facilities for 750 men.
During the summer of 1942 the Chemical Warfare Service conducted a training program
at the University, and in September of 1942 an Officer Candidate School with a maintained
enrollment of 500 men was established on the campus. This unit, under the Adjutant
General's Department, prepared men for administrative posts in the Army. This school
terminated its activities June 30, 1943.
On May 20, 1943, Service Command Unit No. 3418 of the Army Specialized Training
Program was activated at the University of Florida with provision for the instruction of
600 Army trainees in several phases of engineering. Beginning in September the number
of trainees will be increased to 900 with a probable further increase in December.
Engineering, Science, and Management War Training courses in Florida are administered
by the University of Florida in cooperation with the U. S. Office of Education. Courses
CATALOG 1943-44
are now being offered in many of the larger centers of population, military activity, and
industry in Florida. The objective of the E.S.M.W.T. program is to provide short courses
of college grade which are "designed to meet the shortage of engineers, chemists, physicists
and production supervisors in fields essential to the war effort." It is not intended as a
substitute for a college program, but provides intensive, specialized training for a specific
activity in the war program.
Men and women employable in a war activity, immediately available for employment
on completion of this training, and capable of performing academic work of college grade
meet the general requirements for admission. High school graduation, or its equivalent,
is the minimum prerequisite. Regularly enrolled college students are not eligible for
E.S.M.W.T. courses unless they expect to secure employment immediately after receiving
the training.
Most of the courses in Florida are given at night and consist of six to nine class and
laboratory hours per week for a period of about fifteen weeks. These courses are designed
primarily to prepare persons now employed for positions of greater responsibility. A few
courses are offered in the daytime on a full-time basis of from thirty to forty-five class and
laboratory hours a week for a period of several weeks for pre-employment training for war
industries or government service. College credit is not given for E.S.M.W.T. courses, but
each trainee receives a certificate on satisfactory completion of a course.
Members of the faculty of the University of Florida prepare the course outlines, supervise
the instruction and do some of the teaching. Additional instructors are selected from other
educational institutions in the State, from industry, and from the armed services on the
basis of training, experience, and personal qualifications.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
ADMISSIONS
GENERAL STATEMENT
Students who are planning to enter the University of Florida for the first time will be
considered for admission as follows:
1. If the student is entering the University from high school and has not attended
college, he will be considered for admission to the General College.
2. If the student is transferring to the University from another college or university
and is presenting less than two years of acceptable college credit for advanced stand-
ing, he will be considered for admission to the General College.
3. If the student is transferring to the University from another college or university
and is presenting two years or more of acceptable college credit as advanced standing
toward a baccalaureate degree, he will be considered for admission to the Upper
Division school or college of his choice provided his record indicates the completion
of college work in the Social Sciences, the Physical Sciences, English, the Humanities,
and the Biological Sciences.
4. If the student wishes to pursue graduate studies, and has been graduated from a
standard college or university, he will be considered for admission to the Graduate
School.
Prospective students are referred to the sections below for more detailed information
on the policies governing and the procedures involved in securing admission to the various
divisions of the University.
The prospective student should determine from the preceding paragraphs the
category in which he may apply for admission to the University. He should then
write to the Office of the Registrar giving his full name and home address and
stating the unit for which he wishes to be considered for admission. Appropriate
application forms and instructions will then be mailed to him.
ADMISSION TO THE GENERAL COLLEGE
FLORIDA STUDENTs.-The following items are considered in admitting students who have
not previously attended college.
(1) Graduation from high school.*
(2) Achievement in high school.
(3) Personal qualities.
(4) Recommendation of high school principal.
(5) Rank on Placement Tests.
Graduation from high school is required. No specific high school units are required;
however, all applicants must pass the Placement Tests before being admitted to the General
*The Beard of University Examiners may in rare cases, when the principal of the high school
the student has attended recommends such action, permit an exceptional student, before graduation,
to take the Placement Tests; if the student passes these tests satisfactorily, he may be admitted
to the General College. Mature students, lacking a lcrmal high school education, but possessing
because of some other training the necessary admission requirements, may petition the Board of
University Examiners for permission to take the Placement Tests and the College Aptitude Test;
upon satisfactorily passing the tests, such students will be admitted to the General College.
CATALOG 1943-44
College. These tests consist of a general psychological test, and achievement tests in the
fields of English, mathematics, social studies, and natural sciences. Attainments in these
fields are possible without specific high school courses and are not guaranteed by the
acquiring of certain high school units.
Certain curricula of the Upper Division require a working knowledge of a foreign
language. Students contemplating entering such curricula could with profit begin this
study in high school.
Students expecting to study engineering need a thorough training in mathematics. An
effort should be made by such students to obtain the broadest possible mathematical train-
ing in the high school.
Students who expect to study architecture or building construction should obtain a
thorough foundation in mathematics and the physical sciences.
NON-FLORIDA STUDENTS.-In addition to the requirements for Florida students, non-
Florida students are required to file preliminary credentials satisfactory to the Board of
University Examiners. The Board then will determine the eligibility of such students to
take the Placement Tests. However, permission to come to Gainesville to take these tests
does not guarantee admission to the General College. Students come to Gainesville at the
risk of being refused admission if the results of the Placement Tests are not satisfactory.
TRANSFER STUDENTS.-The Board of University Examiners will determine the advanced
standing of students entering the University from other colleges. In general, the policies
of this Board will be as follows:
1. All students must present training equivalent to the work of the General
College, and in some cases will be required to pass the prescribed compre-
hensive examinations.
2. Students with poor records from other institutions will not be admitted
to the University of Florida. A student whose average is below "C" should
not apply for admission to the University, and a student whose average is only
"C" is not guaranteed admission.
3. The Board of University Examiners, in the case of transfer students with
high or superior records, may vary the requirements for admission to the col-
leges and professional schools of the Upper Division to the best interest of
the student.
ADMISSION TO THE UPPER DIVISION
FROM THE GENERAL COLLEGE.-After the student has completed the work of the General
College and received a certificate of graduation, he may enter one of the colleges or pro-
fessional schools of the Upper Division by meeting the specific admission requirements
of that college or school. A student remaining in the General College to complete one or
more specific requirements, may, with the approval of the Dean of the College he expects
to enter in the Upper Division, take additional work which may apply on his record in
the Upper Division.
The Board of University Examiners administers the admission requirements of the Upper
Division. Besides the certificate of graduation from the General College, the student must
be certified by the Board as qualified to pursue the work of the college or school he wishes
to enter.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
In addition to the general requirements stated above, the various colleges and schools
of the Upper Division have specific requirements for entrance. These requirements are
listed under the curricula of the several colleges and schools. Students in the General College
may prepare to meet these requirements by taking as electives the courses indicated under
the various curricula presented.
TRANSFER STUDENTS.-All students admitted to the colleges and professional schools of
the Upper Division will be required to meet the requirements for admission to those colleges.
The manner in which students transferring from other colleges to the University may
meet the requirements for admission to the colleges of the Upper Division will be deter-
mined by the Board of University Examiners. In general, the policy of the Board of
University Examiners will be as follows:
1. The Board of University Examiners will always bear in mind the aims of the cur-
riculum of the General College. All students must present training equivalent to
the work of the General College and may be required to pass prescribed comprehen-
sive examinations.
2. Students with average records from other institutions will be required to meet in
toto the requirements for admission to the Upper Division.
3. The Board of University Examiners, in the case of transfer students with high or
superior records, may vary the requirements for admission to the colleges and pro-
fessional schools of the Upper Division, to the best interest of the student.
Students who, for any reason, are not allowed to return to the institution they last at-
tended, or have not made a satisfactory record in the work carried at other institutions, will
be denied admission to the University of Florida. Students with an average below C need
not apply for admission. Students with an average of C or higher are not guaranteed
admission.
SPECIAL STUDENTS.-Only by the approval of the Board of University Examiners may
special students he admitted to the various schools and colleges of the Upper Division.
Special students are never admitted to the College of Law. Application for admission of
these students must include:
1. The filing of satisfactory preliminary credentials.
2. A statement as to the type of studies to be pursued.
3. Reason for desiring to take special courses.
4. Satisfactory evidence of ability to pursue these studies.
ADMISSION TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
To be admitted to the Graduate School an applicant must be a graduate of a standard
college or university and have a foundation in the major subject sufficient in quantity
and quality to be satisfactory to the department in which the student proposes to major.
Immediately preceding the description of the graduate courses offered by any department
will be found a brief statement of the prerequisites for graduate study. The course offer-
ings are arranged alphabetically by department name in the latter portion of the catalog.
If the student is a graduate of a college or university which does not meet standard
requirements or if the quantity and quality of the foundation in his proposed major field
is not completely satisfactory, he may nevertheless be permitted to register provisionally,
and demonstrate by a qualifying examination and a semester's work, his preparation for
and his ability to do graduate work. Such students often will be required to spend longer
CATALOG 1943-44
than the prescribed time in completing the requirements for the degree. It is permissible
for well-qualified students to take courses in the Graduate School without becoming candi-
dates for an advanced degree.
ADMISSION OF WOMEN
The University of Florida is not a coeducational institution. The State institution of
higher learning for women is the Florida State College for Women located at Tallahassee.
Women students are admitted to the University of Florida in the regular session under
the laws of the State provided they meet either set of the following conditions:
1. Women who are at least twenty-one years of age and who have received credit from
a reputable educational institution in at least 60 semester hours of academic college
work shall be eligible to enroll as students in the University of Florida in such
subjects and courses as they are unable to obtain in any other institution under the
supervision of the Board of Control, provided they are able in every way, regardless
of sex, to meet the admission and eligibility requirements of said University.
2. Women who present at least 32 semester hours of acceptable college credits may be
permitted to enroll in the University of Florida as sophomores to study Pharmacy.
To meet this requirement credits in English, botany, biology, mathematics, physical
sciences, and psychology are preferable. Such students must be able in every way,
regardless of sex, to meet the admission and eligibility requirements of the University.
Women students in the General College, under this regulation, are limited in their
selection of courses to those which are prerequisite for admission to the School of
Pharmacy.

covered by the fee assessed, may employ the services of any accredited physician whom
he may select, and utilize the facilities of the Infirmary for the operation. To secure this

must accompany the Application for Room Reservation and be sent to the Director of

receive the service for which the fee is assessed. Failure to pay fees when due makes
registration incomplete and will result in assessment of the $5 late registration fee.

student concerned and a notation concerning the fee or fees being paid. All remittances
must be made payable to the University of Florida and sent to the Office of the Business
Manager except as noted above. The Office of the Business Manager will issue receipts
for all funds received which will indicate the purpose of payment. Students are cautioned
to preserve these receipts and have them available for examination by any University official
concerned.

Students resigning before the dates specified in the University Calendar are entitled
to a refund of all fees except $5 of the contingent fee. This $5 is the cost of service in
registering the student and is never refunded.

TUITION
No tuition, except in the College of Law, is charged Florida students.
Non-Florida students, including those pursuing graduate work, pay tuition of $50 per
semester in addition to the fees charged Florida students.
Classification of Students.-For the purpose of assessing tuition, students are classified
as Florida and non-Florida students.
A Florida student, if under twenty-one years of age, is one: (1) whose parents have
been residents of Florida for at least twelve consecutive months next preceding his registra-
tion; or (2) whose parents were residents of Florida at the time of their death, and who
has not acquired residence in another state; or (3) whose parents were not residents of
Florida at the time of their death but whose successor natural guardian has been a resident
of Florida for at least twelve consecutive months next preceding the student's registration.
A Florida student, if over twenty-one years of age, is one: (1) whose parents are resi-
dents of Florida (or were at the time of their death) and who has not acquired residence
in another state; or (2) who, while an adult, has been a resident of Florida for at least
twelve consecutive months next preceding his registration, provided such residence has
not been acquired while attending any school or college in Florida; or (3) who is the
wife of a man who has been a resident of Florida for at least twelve consecutive months
next preceding her registration; or (4) who is an alien who has taken out his first citizen-
ship papers and who has been a resident of Florida for at least twelve consecutive months
next preceding his registration.
All students not able to qualify as Florida students are classified as non-Florida students.
The status of the classification of a student is determined at the time of his first regis-
tration in the University, and may not thereafter be changed by him unless, in the case
of a minor, his parents move to and become legal residents of this State, by maintaining
such residence for twelve consecutive months. If the status of a student changes from a
CATALOG 1943-44
non-Florida student to a Florida student, his classification may be changed at the next
registration thereafter.
A fee of $10 will be charged all students registering incorrectly. In the case of non-
Florida students, this fee will be assessed in addition to the tuition. In the case of Florida
students who give an out of state address at the time of registration or any other time,
this fee will be charged unless the student files a written explanation acceptable to the
Registrar stating why the out of state address was given and giving proof that his resi-
dence is Florida.
UNIVERSITY RESIDENCE HALLS
Facilities.-There are ample facilities available for adequate housing of civilian students.
University Residence Hall facilities include five halls on the campus (Buckman, Thomas.
Sledd, Fletcher, and Murphree) and certain off-campus fraternity houses (Residence Hall
Units) which have been, or will be, incorporated into the University housing program accord-
ing to the demands for student rooms.
Some spaces may be available for assignment to students in the Residence Halls proper.
depending upon the needs of Army detachments here for special training. Other students
will be assigned to Residence Hall Units, which will be opened as the demand develops.
Director of Residence.-All correspondence and inquiries concerning rooming facilities
and all room reservation fees should be sent to the Director of Residence, University of
Florida.
The Director of Residence is responsible for the supervision of all rooming facilities
operated by the University for students, and, in addition, assists in compiling information
on privately operated facilities off-campus.
Equipment and Services.-In the Residence Halls proper, rooms are classed either as
singles (one room for one student), doubles (one room for two students), triples (one room
for three students), and two-room suites (bedroom and study room for two students).
Rates for these rooms range from $32.00 to $45.00 per student per semester. Furnishings
include single beds, inner-spring mattresses, chairs, desks, dresser units, and waste-baskets.
Students are required to furnish their own study lamps, linens, pillows, blankets, and what-
ever other personal furnishings they may desire.
Room types, furnishings, and rental rates in the Residence Hall Units are approximately
the same as in the Residence Halls proper; in addition, there are lounging and recreation
facilities available in each house. Details of unit locations and individual rooms will be
announced later as necessary preliminary arrangements and surveys are completed.
Applications and Reservations for Rooms.-Each person wishing to reserve a room in
the University Residence Halls or Residence Hall Units should write to the Director of
Residence giving all pertinent information and inclosing a check or a money order for the
room reservation fee of ten dollars. Check or money order should be made payable to the
University of Florida.
All such applications for rooming facilities will be acted upon as soon as the details
of the housing program are arranged. No such application will be acted upon until the
room reservation fee has been paid. It may be impossible to give advance notification of
exact assignments, but each student whose application for a room is accepted may be
assured of a space. No more applications will be accepted than there are spaces available.
If applicants cannot be placed in University operated units they will be referred to
privately operated houses on the approved list and allowed to complete individual arrange-
ments. Room reservation fees will be refunded on request to all applicants who cannot be
accommodated in University units.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
Applications for rooms should be made and reservation fees paid as soon as possible in
order to assure consideration.
Refunds will be made on applications for rooms cancelled by or before Wednesday,
September 15, 1943. Refunds will not be made on such applications cancelled after that
date, unless applicant can show sufficient cause for delay.
Rooms will be available for occupancy not earlier than noon, Saturday, September 11.
1943. Applicants who will arrive before this date or after September 15, 1943, should
notify the Director of Residence in advance. No rooms will be held for occupants after
September 20, unless notification of late arrival has been received.
Checking In.-Students assigned to rooms in University operated units will check in at
the Office of the Director of Residence, Section F, Fletcher Hall. The services of a cashier
will be available there for payment of rents only.
Luggage.-Persons desiring to send heavy luggage ahead may address it to Sledd Hall
Archway Trunk Room where it will be stored. The University accepts no responsibility
for such advance shipments.
Residence Hall Policies and Regulations.-The same general regulations and policies
which have governed student conduct in the Residence Halls in the past will be in effect
in each unit operated by the University. These regulations are based on those principles
of individual conduct necessary to obtain maximum benefit and comfort for all residents,
and include such matters as quiet hours and care of equipment. A copy of specific regula-
tions will be posted in each room and residents will be expected to observe them without
exception.
All students with less than one year of college work shall be required to room in
University operated units as long as rooms are available for assignment to them. How-
ever, students whose parents are residents of the City of Gainesville shall not be subject
to this regulation.
No student may move from a room in the University units to other quarters without
the consent of the Committee of Residence through the Director of Residence.
A student monitor, or monitors, will be assigned to each unit and will be responsible
through the Director of Residence to the Committee on Residence for the maintenance of
proper conduct-in keeping with Residence Hall regulations-by all students in his partic-
ular unit.
Rooms are rented by the school year, not by the semester. Room rent is due and payable
in advance at the beginning of each semester, and University registration may be cancelled
for failure to pay rent as directed.
A student assigned to a room is responsible for its occupancy and rent for the school
year and will not be granted refunds if he withdraws before the end of the year unless
his withdrawal is due to induction into the armed forces, or unless, if his withdrawal is
for other reasons, he furnishes a replacement who is acceptable to the Director of Residence.
The room reservation fee is not a payment on rent but is a separate deposit which is
retained until the student has completed his period of residence, at which time it is re-
fundable less any charges for damages or other unpaid items. The fee will not be refunded
until after the student has withdrawn from the room and the premises have been checked
as to condition.
The University reserves the right to cancel or change any room assignment in the in-
terest of war training groups or for the purpose of obtaining better organization or discipline
among student residents.
CATALOG 1943-44

homes or privately operated rooming houses near the campus. Rates for rooms are approxi-
mately the same as in the University units.
Lists.-Private off-campus rooms are inspected, approved, and listed under the direction
of the Dean of Students. Printed lists of approved houses may be obtained from the Office
of the Dean of Students or from the Director of Residence.

well prepared food at actual cost. Coupon books containing tickets with a monetary value
will be sold at a discount:
$15.00 monetary value coupon ticket ........................................$14.25
5.00 monetary value coupon ticket ....................................... 4.75
SELF-HELP
In view of the fact that there are comparatively few positions on the campus and in the
City of Gainesville, it is strongly urged that no freshman come to the University with the
expectation of depending very largely upon his earnings during his first college year.
The Committee on Self-Help, of which the Dean of Students is chairman, undertakes
to award positions on the campus to deserving upperclassmen.
A few students are employed as laboratory assistants, office workers, waiters, and in
other capacities. Application for employment should be made to the Dean of Students.
REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
A. The student must be making an average of C or its equivalent.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND LOAN FUNDS
The University of Florida is unfortunate in the paucity of the scholarships and loans
which are open to students. Generally, the scholarships and loans which are available are
administered directly by the donors. However, the Committee on Scholarships, of which the
Dean of Students is chairman, collects all information relative to vacancies, basis of award,
value, and other pertinent facts, and supplies this information to interested students. The
Committee also collects information on applicants and supplies this information to the
donors. In some instances, the Committee has been given authority to make the awards
without consulting the donors.
While scholarship, as evidenced by academic attainment, is an important feature in
making awards, it is by no means the only consideration. The student's potential capacity
to profit by college training and to make reasonable returns to society are important con-
siderations in making all awards.
Unless otherwise specified, applications for the scholarships and loans listed below should
be addressed to the Chairman of the Committee on Scholarships and Loan Funds, University
of Florida.
SCHOLARSHIPS
County Agricultural Scholarships.-Provision has been made by a legislative act for a
scholarship from each county-to be offered and provided for at the discretion of the Board

hall and room in the dormitory. Whether such a scholarship has been provided for by any
county may be learned from the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, or the
County Agent of the county in question. If it is desired, questions for the examination will
be provided and papers graded by the University.

average required for consideration by the faculty. Where no mention is made in the college
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
section of this bulletin on the requirements for consideration the student is advised to
consult the dean of the college for detailed information.
For graduation with High Honors the above statement applies, except that in most
colleges some independent work or an examination or both are prerequisite for considera-
tion by the faculty. The student should consult the dean of the college for further in-
formation.
DIVISION OF ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The type of athletic program undertaken by the Division of Athletics and Physical
Education at the University of Florida compares favorably with that in leading universities.
The University of Florida, with eleven other colleges and universities in the states of
Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, is a member of the
Southeastern Conference and is guided by the policies and regulations of that conference.
For the duration of the war the University has suspended intercollegiate athletic com-
petition.
PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAM
The problem of physical fitness is one of the major problems of the War. Because of
this the University of Florida maintains a physical fitness program required of all male
students during their stay at the University. The program includes physical examination
and advice as to needed medical and dental care and a program of physical exercise.
Physical Examination.-Each male student will be required to furnish a report of
physical examination on the form provided for this purpose by the University Physician
before registration for the 1943-44 session can be completed. (This requirement will not
apply to those students who were in attendance at the University of Florida during either
semester of the 1942-43 academic year or the 1943 Summer Session.) Additional physical
examinations will be made by the University Physician when, in his opinion, such examina-
tions are necessary.
The Physical Fitness Program Required of All Male Students.-The physical exercise
program is conducted in regularly scheduled sections meeting three periods per week. The
registration forms for a male student cannot be accepted until he has arranged his schedule
to include one of the regular sections. Students certified for restricted activity by the
University Physician will be given special programs designed to fit their physical condition.
Attendance Required.-The following regulation concerning absences from scheduled
meetings of the Physical Fitness Program applies to all male students.
When a student has accumulated four absences which are not properly accounted for,
he shall be on probation. When a student has accumulated six absences which are not
properly accounted for he may be reported to the Committee on Discipline with the recom-
mendation that he be dropped from the University.
INTRAMURAL AND INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
The second major sub-division of this Department is that in which are included inter-
collegiate athletics. These sports are divided into two groups, generally known as major
and as minor sports. In the major group are football, basketball, boxing, baseball, swim-
ming, and track; and in the minor group, tennis, golf, and cross country. The equipment
includes two baseball diamonds, four athletic fields, twelve handball courts, two indoor
basketball courts, twelve tennis courts, a large outdoor swimming pool, a concrete stadium
CATALOG 1943-44
with a seating capacity of 23,000, and one quarter-mile running track, providing permanent
seats for approximately 1,500.
The function of the Intramural Department is to encourage the entire student body to
participate in organized athletic sports and wholesome recreation. The Department pro-
vides facilities for such competition and recreation; organizes and promotes competition
between students, groups, and individuals; and fosters a spirit of fair play and sportsman-
ship among participants and spectators.
The program of intramural activities includes the following sports: golf, swimming.
horseshoes, touch football, basketball, boxing, diamondball, tennis, handball, track, shuffle
board, ping pong, and badminton.
The proper utilization of leisure time through recreation and play is splendidly expressed
in this program. It is estimated that about seventy per cent of the students take part in
sports sponsored by the Department. There is a decided trend toward the expansion of
recreational facilities for a large group of students as opposed to intense competition for
a few.
The rules of the Southeastern Conference permit member institutions to award scholar-
ships to athletes. Awards are made in the form of board, rent, books and similar items,
instead of cash and may be continued from year to year to those students whose records
prove satisfactory. As a rule, the awards are made only to those unable financially to
attend the University without assistance and whose standards of conduct and scholarship
are worthy of consideration. The awarding of Athletic Scholarships is subject to the
approval of the University Scholarship Committee. Further information may be secured
by writing to the Dean of Students, who is Chairman of that Committee.
BUREAU OF VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE AND MENTAL HYGIENE
A program of vocational guidance is carried on for the students through a series of
tests, interviews, and the application of authentic occupational information. The Bureau
offers a service to those encountering mental difficulties which interfere with their scholastic
work. Further information concerning these services may be obtained from the office of
the Director of the Bureau, Room 110, Peabody Hall.
GENERAL EXTENSION DIVISION
The General Extension Division of the University of Florida offers educational oppor-
tunities and numerous services to persons who are removed from the campus.
The Division represents the Colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Education, En-
gineering, Business Administration, School of Forestry, and the School of Pharmacy of the
University, and the College of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Education and Music
of the State College for Women.
The work is carried on through departments. Formal courses for college credit and
some high school work are offered through the Department of Correspondence Study.
Whenever a sufficient number of students may be enrolled, university classes are offered
by the Department of Extension Classes. Short courses of informal instruction are also
offered to professional, business, trade and civic groups and organizations in an effort to
give them the latest information in their respective fields of interest.
The Department of Women's Activities offers information and instruction on subjects
of particular interest to groups of Florida women. The Department of Auditory Instruction
offers cultural and informational programs through lectures and discussion for the benefit
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
of schools and special groups. Refresher courses, short courses, institutes, and conferences
for professional, occupational, and welfare groups, and other activities of direct value to
organized groups in Florida are conducted by the Department of Citizenship Training.
Through the Departments of Visual Instruction and General Information and Service,
the world of letters and arts and music is carried to thousands in more isolated com-
munities by means of plays, books, package libraries and art exhibits. A picture of the
world and its work is circulated in stereopticon slides and films furnished for instruction
and entertainment. The best in recorded music is provided for work in music apprecia-
tion and culture.
These and the various service functions of the Division establish contacts which enable
the University to aid individuals, organizations and communities, and to contribute to
adult education.
The Division is carrying on numerous war activities: It offers extension courses at re-
duced fees for men in the Armed Forces; it acts as Coordinator of Training for the State
Defense Council; it gives special instruction to help relieve the teacher shortage, and to
prepare new state employees for their work; it conducts short courses in fields of wartime
interest for various groups; and it assists many of the federal agencies in their educational
work in the state.
THE DIVISION OF MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS
The University of Florida, as other Land Grant Colleges, offers instruction in Military
Science as an integral part of its curricula. The unit at the University gives instruction in
Infantry. A staff of army officers and a detachment of enlisted men provide the necessary
personnel for the administration and instruction of cadets and for the maintenance of the
equipment required for the course. For the school year 1943-44, the War Department offers
the Basic course only which consists of the first four semesters. After a student is assigned
to Basic Military he must complete the four semesters of the Basic course in the same
branch unless exempt for physical reason by the University Physician.
MILITARY SCIENCE AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY
Students enrolled in the Basic courses must carry them to completion as a prerequisite
to graduation.
STUDENT EQUIPMENT
Students are issued regulation government uniforms except that the student will be
required to provide, at his own expense, a pair of tan shoes or oxfords of plain design. A
student is held financially responsible for any uniform or equipment issued to him and for
the prompt return thereof when called for. Textbooks and other class room supplies needed
by the student should be purchased by him only after specification by the instructor as to
the texts and other supplies required for the course.
ATTENDANCE REQUIRED
Basic Military Science is scheduled for one or two hours each week for class and two
to three hours for drill. The following regulations will govern the handling of absences
from Military Science class and drill periods:
CATALOG 1943-44
A student enrolled in Military Science who accumulates four hours of un-
excused absences from military class and drill during a semester shall auto-
matically he in a probationary status and warned. If he accumulates more
than six hours of unexcused absences during a semester, the Professor of
Military Science and Tactics may recommend to the Discipline Committee
that he be dropped from the University.
STATUS OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE HAD MILITARY TRAINING AT OTHER SCHOOLS
Students transferring from other Universities with Senior ROTC Units are allowed
college credit for Military Science completed at such institutions to the amount allowed
by the institution from which the transfer is made provided such credit does not exceed
eight semester hours for the Basic course. The eligibility for admission of such students
to Military Science courses at the University of Florida is determined by the Professor of
Military Science and Tactics. Students who have completed some Military Science in
schools having Junior ROTC Units may be allowed to enter that semester of Military
Science at the University of Florida for which their previous training has qualified them
in accordance with War Department Regulations and as determined by the Professor of
Military Science and Tactics. In such cases no college credit can be given for previous
Military Science under the University regulation which does not permit the allowance
of college credit for any work completed in secondary school.
DIVISION OF MUSIC
The Division of Music offers opportunity for membership in three musical organizations:
the University Band, the Glee Club, and the Symphony Orchestra.
All University of Florida students who qualify are eligible for membership in any of
these organizations.
The Band performs at all football games within the State and makes at least one out
of state trip each season. The Band plays at military parades on the campus, gives a
number of concerts and broadcasts during the second semester, and performs at such public
functions as the Gasparilla Celebration, the Governor's Inauguration, etc.
The University of Florida Glee Club is composed of men enrolled in the University who
are interested in choral singing. The Glee Club makes several trips through the State,
particularly during the second semester. Members of the Glee Club are heard regularly
each week over the radio in a broadcast period known as the University Hour.
The University of Florida Symphony Orchestra affords an opportunity for the study
and performance of symphonic and classical music, makes a number of trips through the
State each season and gives a number of concerts and broadcasts on the campus.
Private lessons are offered by the members of the faculty of the Division of Music. These
private lessons are arranged as follows:
1. Orchestra and band instruments, Mr. Brown.
2. Voice, including radio broadcasting, Mr. DeBruyn.
3. Piano, Organ, Harmony and Counterpoint, Mr. Murphree.
Lesson periods are arranged at the convenience of the instructor and pupil. Instructors
may be consulted concerning lesson periods and rates.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 35
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA BAND
A student may elect to combine Band practice and drill with the study of Military
Science and Tactics, in which case he will register for proper basic course in Military
Science and attend theory classes in Military Science, combining Military drill with Band
drill in accordance with the regulations of the Division of Military Science and Tactics.
Completion of the Basic course in Military Science in this manner will satisfy the University
requirements for Basic Military Science.
A student who is physically disqualified for Military Science, or is exempt from Military
Science in accordance with University Regulations, may elect to register for Bd. 111-112
the first year and Bd. 211-212 the second year.
Students will not be permitted to earn more than eight hours (two years' work) in Band,
nor more than a total of eight hours in Military Science and Band. Positively no credit
will be allowed for Band unless the student registers in the regular manner even though
he participates in Band work.
SUMMER SESSION
During the summer months the University operates a twelve weeks Summer Session
organized in two terms of six weeks each. The Summer Session provides a means for
acceleration of program for the students of the Regular Session with a selected list of
offerings from each of the Colleges and Schools.
Since women are admitted to the Summer Session the offerings of the College of Educa-
tion are expanded to include courses of particular interest to teachers in the elementary
and primary fields, and the offerings of many other departments are selected to provide both
graduate and undergraduate courses especially helpful to teachers in both the elementary
and secondary fields. Detailed information is given in the Bulletin of the Summer Session
which is usually published in April.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES
The libraries of the University are the General Library, the Experiment Station Library,
the General Extension Division Library, the Law Libiary, and the P. K. Yonge Laboratory
School Library. The Libraries contain approximately 225,000 books.
The General Library provides facilities for library work in the various courses offered
by the University and for research work in the different fields. It has two large reading
rooms which contain the Reserve Books, the General College Books, and the Reference
Collection. Its stacks are accessible to graduate students and faculty members.
The library has files of the principal American and foreign periodicals of general in-
terest, as well as periodicals of special interest in connection with the work of various
schools and colleges. About 1,500 periodicals are received. Being a depository of the
United States documents, it receives all the publications of the Government.
Among the resources of the library is a special collection of cataloged books and
pamphlets which concern Florida and are written by Florida authors, and a large collection
of state journals received through the courtesy of Florida newspaper editors.

THE FLORIDA STATE MUSEUM
The Florida State Museum was created by an act of the legislature in 1917 as a depart-
ment of the University of Florida.
The main objective of the Florida State Museum is to collect, preserve and interpret
data concerning the history of Florida, both natural and civil. In the natural history of
the state the endeavor is to collect the minerals and exhibit them in connection with their
manufactured products of economics and commerce; to collect the fossils of vegetable and
animal life showing the evolution of life through the geologic ages; to collect specimens
of recent vegetable and animal life illustrating the flora and fauna of the state in connection
with their economic and commercial enterprises. In the civil history of the state the
endeavor is to collect material and data of the works of mankind from the early aborigines
on up through the beginning of civilization to the present time; to maintain exhibits of
artifacts of early man, and exhibits of articles in the economic, industrial and social life
showing the advancement of civilization.
To maintain a department of archives for the preservation of the records of the state;
to maintain a library of publications pertinent to the general and diversified activities of
the museum; to maintain a gallery of art for the preservation and exhibit of portraits of
persons who have been responsible for making Florida a better place to live, and for the
exploitations of works of art for the edification of and as a social center for our citizens;
to maintain a department of museum extension among the schools and communities of
the state; to publish reports, bulletins, and monographs of the progress of the work are
some of the activities for which the Florida State Museum strives, and for which the
law provides.
In carrying on the general activities as above outlined the Florida State Museum now
has a total of 370,034 specimens catalogued at an inventoried value of $414,232.59, the
majority of which have been presented or provided by will. The museum is free to the
public every day in the year.
INSTITUTE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS
The University of Florida established the Institute of Inter-American Affairs on June 2,
1930, to foster better educational and cultural relations between the countries of the Western
Hemisphere.
The Faculty Committee on Inter-American Affairs, appointed by the President of the
University, is the governing body of the Institute and controls the policies and program
with the guidance and recommendations of the Advisory Council, made up of individuals
pre-eminent in their separate fields and especially interested in Inter-American Affairs.
The executive officer is the Director appointed by the President of the University, and
directly responsible to him and to the Faculty Committee for the performance of his duties.
The Institute of Inter-American Affairs was founded with the following specific aims:
(1) to foster international good will between the Americas, (2) to promote the teaching
of Western Hemisphere languages and civilizations in schools, colleges and universities,
(3) to encourage the exchange of students and professors between colleges and universities
of the Americas, (4) to hold conferences and institutes on Inter-American Affairs, (5) to
stimulate specific studies common to the Americas, (6) to promote an interplay of cultural
ideals, (7) to stimulate exchange of ideas, and (8) to advance Inter-American interests
in all fields of human endeavor.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
RADIO STATION WRUF
WRUF, State and University of Florida Radio Station, Florida's limited-time, 850 kilo-
cycle, clear channel station, is operated as a unit of the University. It is a Mutual Net-
work station.
One of WRUF's more important functions is that of furnishing practical experience
to students enrolled in the Radio Broadcasting Training program of the University. The
extent to which this policy is applied is demonstrated by the fact that, until the time of
Pearl Harbor, the operating personnel of WRUF consisted entirely of University students
specializing in radio work, and the effectiveness of this training is demonstrated by the
nationwide reputation which WRUF has achieved for developing some of this country's
leading announcers and radio executives. The various Radio Broadcasting Training Cur-
ricula in addition to providing this practical operating experience require a selection of
courses from many of the departments of instruction of the University. The student is
taught an awareness of the social obligations placed on any medium whose purposes include
public entertainment, information, education, and cultural advancement. He is given the
broadest possible background, to the end that the social implications of radio as a medium
for influencing the public may be recognized and acted upon. These are important aspects
of the program and should be the beginning of the building of a breadth of viewpoint on
the part of the student which he will continue to cultivate by reading and study after he
has completed the training program. For more specific information regarding the Radio
Broadcasting Training Curricula see page 111.
The distinctiveness of Radio Station WRUF for the listener, results from the fact
that its close collaboration with the University in carrying various educational programs
gives it a greater variety of broadcasts than will be found in the case of the ordinary com-
mercial station.
HEALTH SERVICE
Through the Student Health Service the University makes available to any student
physical examinations, health consultations, and medical attention. General service is
provided free of charge, but special fees are charged for services which are individual in
character, such as dentistry, X-rays, laundry in the Infirmary, special drugs and serums,
major surgery, special nurses, etc. No student, however, will be denied service because
of inability to pay these fees.
The University Infirmary and the offices of the Health Service are on the campus. The
Infirmary is open day and night for the admission of patients. The Resident Physicians
live at the Infirmary and their services are available at all hours in case of emergency. The
Dispensary in the Infirmary building is open from 7 A. M. to 7 P. M., during which time
physicians are in attendance and may be consulted. Emergency treatment may be obtained
at any time by reporting to the Infirmary.
It is the aim of the Health Service not only to function as a Health Service and render
preventive measures, but to provide full hospital care in cases of illness. The Infirmary
is rated as a Fully Approved Hospital by the Examining Board of the American College
of Surgeons.
The facilities of the Dispensary are such that any number of students can be given
attention in a day. The Dispensary is maintained to offer conferences with physicians, ex-
aminations, diagnosis, and treatment of minor injuries and illnesses which a student may
suffer. The student is encouraged to use this service freely in order that he may avoid more
CATALOG 1943-44
serious illnesses by the lack of treatment or from improper treatment. In the Dispensary, a
modern, well equipped drug room furnishes drugs to the student without charge. A labora-
tory in connection with the Infirmary and Dispensary is in charge of a trained nurse-
technician, rendering efficient service in prompt diagnosis. The normal capacity of the
Infirmary, 45 beds, can be increased in emergencies. Ample provisions are made for the
isolation of communicable diseases. A completely equipped operating room is maintained
to provide facilities for major surgical operations. The Infirmary is equipped with a mobile
unit X-ray, which is used for the examination of fractures, but the equipment does not
provide sufficient service for an extensive diagnostic X-ray study of the intestinal tract, etc.
This service is made available to students at actual cost of the materials used.
Students enrolling in the University for the first time are furnished by the Registrar's
Office a physical examination form which is to be completed by the family physician and
attached to Registration papers. It is necessary that this physical examination by the home
physician be completed in order that parents may be aware of defects which should be
corrected prior to the student's entrance in the University. The correction of these defects
is necessary in order that he may be in proper physical condition to begin his college work.
On admission, the student is given a careful physical examination by the University
Physician.
There are three principal phases of the activities of the University Health Service:
(1) personal attention, (2) sanitation, and (3) education.
1. Personal Attention.-This division is concerned with the physical examination of
students. A complete record of the physical condition of each student is made and filed
when he is admitted to the University. From this record can be determined, in large
measure, what procedure is essential to keep the student in the best physical condition
during his academic life. The following are some of the phases of the work in the personal
division:
a. Provision for maintaining the health of normal, physically sound students; cooper-
ation with the Department of Physical Education regarding physical exercise; edu-
cation concerning right living; safeguarding of environment.
b. Protection of the physically sound students from communicable diseases; early
detection, isolation, and treatment of all cases of communicable diseases-tuber-
culosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever, smallpox, mumps, etc.
c. Treatment and professional care of all students who are ill or in need of medical
advice or treatment. For extended care by the Health Service it is necessary that
the student enter the Infirmary. Any student may be admitted to the Infirmary upon
the recommendation of the University Physician. To all patients in the Infirmary
the staff will furnish medical and nursing services.
d. Reconstruction and reclamation: correction of defects, advice, and treatment of all
abnormalities.
2. Sanitation.-The student's environment should be made as hygienic as possible.
Hence, this division concerns itself with the sanitary conditions both on and off the campus.
3. Education.-Every student in the University is made familiar with the fundamentals
of both personal and public hygiene. Through personal conferences education in hygiene
and right living is conducted.
VACCINATION
Prospective students are advised to be vaccinated against smallpox and to be inoculated
against typhoid fever. Unless a certificate is presented showing successful vaccination within
five years, students will be vaccinated against smallpox at the time of registration.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
FLORIDA UNION
Florida Union serves a three-fold purpose. It is the official center of student activities
and presents a broad program of recreation and entertainment for the student body; it is
the campus home of faculty, students, alumni, and friends of the University; it aids in
establishing a cultural pattern which will distinguish Florida men. The building is open
daily from 8:00 A.M. until 11:00 P.M. The game room, reading room, lounge rooms, and
various meeting rooms are available to the student body. The offices of the Student Body,
the Y.M.C.A., Alumni Association, and the Publicity Department of the University are
located in the Florida Union. A soda-fountain and the bookstore in the annex offer attrac-
tive service at the most economical prices. A cordial welcome always awaits every student
at the Florida Union.
In addition to its facilities on the campus, the Union operates the University's Camp
Wauburg, located on a beautiful lake about nine miles from the campus. Here students
are offered opportunities for swimming, fishing, and other wholesome outdoor activities.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS
Student Government.-Student government in the University of Florida is a cooperative
organization based on mutual confidence between the student body and the faculty. Con-
siderable authority has been granted the Student Body for the regulation and conduct of
student affairs. The criterion in granting authority to the Student Body has been the
disposition of the students to accept responsibility commensurate with the authority granted
them. Generally speaking, the fields of student activity include regulation of extra-curricular
affairs and the administration of the Honor System.
Every enrolled student, having paid his activity fee, is a member of the Student Body
and has an equal vote in its government.
The University authorities feel that training in acceptance of responsibility for the
conduct of student affairs at the University is a valuable part of the educational growth of
the individual student. The Student Body is practically a body politic, occupying its fran-
chise under grant from the Board of Control and subject to its continued approval.
Student government is patterned on the state and national form of government, but
adapted to the local needs of the Student Body. Powers are distributed into the three
branches: (1) legislative, which is embodied in the Executive Council; (2) judicial, which
is embodied in the Honor Court with penal and civil jurisdiction of all judicial matters;
(3) executive, embodied in the President and shared with the Vice-President and the
Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Body. Members of all three branches are elected directly
by the Student Body once a year.
Student government enacts and enforces suitable laws, and promotes athletics, debating,
publications of the Student Body, entertainments of a general educational value, and such
other activities as the Student Body may adopt. The officers of the Student Body are the
President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, members of the Honor Court, Athletic
Council, Executive Council, Lyceum Council, editors and business managers of student
publications, and student members of the Board of Student Publications.
Debating.-Practice in debating is open to all students through the programs of the
varsity and General College debate squads. This work, which is sponsored by the Debate
Club, is under the direction of the Department of Speech, and culminates in an extensive
schedule of intercollegiate debates.
CATALOG 1943-44
Dramatics.-Any student has an opportunity to participate in several plays which are
presented each year by the Florida Players, a dramatic group under direction of the Depart-
ment of Speech.
Executive Council.-The Executive Council is composed of representatives elected from
the colleges on the campus and in general acts as administrator of Student Body affairs.
The Athletic Council and the Lyceum Council have jurisdiction over their respective fields.
Publications.-The Student Body normally publishes The Seminole, the year book; The
Florida Alligator, the student newspaper; The "F" Book, the student's guide; and The
Orange Peel, the campus literary magazine. For the duration of the war these publications
have been suspended with the exception of The Florida Alligator.
Y. A. C. A.-The purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association is to provide a
medium through which the highest ideals of education and religion may be expressed in
terms of service. The program of the Association is planned to meet definite needs as they
become apparent. There is no membership fee. Any student may become a member by
subscribing to its purpose and contributing to its support. A secretary having extensive
experience with the problems of students is available for counsel and help.
Social Fraternities.-Twenty-one national social fraternities have established chapters at
the University; most of them have already built chapter houses and others have leased
homes. The general work of the fraternities is controlled by the Interfraternity Conference.
composed of two delegates from each of the national fraternities. The national fraternities
at Florida are Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Chi Phi, Delta Chi.

HONOR SYSTEM
The Honor System.-One of the finest tributes to the character of the students at the
University of Florida is the fact that the Student Body is a self-governing group. The
details of the system by which this result is reached will be explained to all freshmen during
the first week of their enrollment in the University. However, each parent, as well as each
prospective student, is urged to read the following discussion of the Honor System, as this
phase of student government forms the keystone of the entire system.
In addition to permitting student legislation on questions of interest to the members of
the Student Body, execution of the laws passed, and the expenditure of student funds, the
governing system at the University gives to the students the privilege of disciplining them-
selves through the means of the Honor System. Inaugurated by some of our greatest edu-
cators in higher institutions of the nation and early adopted in some departments of the
University of Florida, the Honor System was finally established in the entire University in
1914 as the result of student initiative. This plan, having met with the approval of all
officials of the University, was given the sanction of the Board of Control, and student repre-
sentatives were selected by the students to administer the system.
Among the basic principles of an Honor System are the convictions that self-discipline
is the greatest builder of character, that responsibility is a prerequisite of self-respect, and
that these are essential to the highest type of education. Officials of the University and the
Board of Control feel that students in the University of Florida should be assumed to be
honest and worthy of trust, and they display this confidence by means of an Honor System.
The success of the System is dependent upon the honor of each individual member
of the student body in that: (1) he is duty-bound to abide by the principles of the Honor
Code, and (2) he is further pledged to report to the Honor Court such violations of the
Code as he may observe.
Many men coming to the University for the first time may feel hesitant about assuming
this responsibility, inasmuch as early school training has created feelings of antipathy
toward one who "tattle-tales" on a fellow-student. The theory of an Honor System ade-
quately overcomes this natural reaction, however, when it is realized that this system is
a student institution itself, and not a faculty measure for student discipline, and that to
be worthy of the advantages of the Honor System each student must be strong enough
to do his duty in this regard. In this way the responsibility for each mon's conduct is
placed where it must eventually rest-on himself.
The Honor Code of the Student Body is striking in its simplicity; yet it embodies the
fundamentals of sound character. Each man is pledged to refrain from:
(a) cheating, (b) stealing, (c) obtaining money or credit for worthless checks.
On the basis of this Code, students are extended all privileges conceived to be the
basic rights of men of Honor. There are no proctors or spies in the examination rooms, each
student feeling free to do his work, or to leave the room as occasion arises. Secondly,
fruits and supplies are placed openly on the campus, with the confidence that each man will
pay for any he may take. This system makes each man the keeper of his own conscience
until he has proved to his fellow-students that he no longer deserves the trust placed in him.
CATALOG 1943-44
A breach of the System may be flagrant and serious, or it may be extenuated by cir-
cumstances. It may need only mild corrective measures to help the violator obtain a finer
conception of right and wrong; it may need strong measures. To enforce the System
equitably the students have established the Honor Court. The Court is composed of twelve
students and a chancellor all of whom are elected annually from the upper classes of the
various colleges on the campus. Any student convicted by this Court has the right of
appeal from its ruling to the Faculty Discipline Committee. A tribute to the efficiency of
the Honor Court in its existence on the Florida campus is realized in the fact that, since
its establishment, a surprisingly insignificant number of the Court's decisions have been
altered upon appeal.
The penal purpose of the Honor Court should receive less stress, perhaps, than its
educational purpose, which is its most important function. The responsibility of acquaint-
ing every member of the Student Body with the purpose, advantages, and principles of
the Honor System is placed upon members of the Court. In line with this work, members
of the Honor Court participate in the orientation program each year during Freshman Week.
In addition to a series of explanatory talks at that time, special chapel programs are con-
ducted by the Honor Court during the school year. Honor System talks are delivered in
the high schools of the State upon request and at regularly scheduled times each spring,
and radio programs are broadcast especially for the high schools from Station WRUF in
Gainesville. In this way the Honor Court has endeavored to fulfill its responsibility to
the men who undertake the problem of self-government and self-discipline at the University
of Florida.
The parent of every prospective student should feel that it is his responsibility to stress
the paramount importance of honorable conduct on the part of his son while the latter is
in attendance at the University of Florida. Dishonest action brings sorrow both to parent
and to student.
Because University students have proved worthy of the trust and responsibility involved
in administering an Honor System, this feature of student government has become the
greatest tradition at the University of Florida. It must be remembered that inasmuch as
it is primarily a student responsibility, the future of the system rests with each new class
of students entering the University. The University faculty and authorities pledge their
support to the Honor System. Each student must support it, or, in failing to support it
contribute to the loss of this tradition.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTt
The old plan, common in university education under the free elective system, of having
a freshman register in a particular professional school or college on matriculation day
created many problems and left others unsolved. A majority of students were not able to
choose, so they were forced to guess. Indoctrination of a most undesirable type followed
in many cases. Some departments tried to keep the chance entrant and gave him little help
in getting correctly placed in another field. Even regulations were adopted that forced
the student to lose ground if he changed. Narrow specialization followed, and the student
who continued until graduation had little opportunity to make an intelligent choice of his
life's work or to explore his interests and abilities in other fields. Thus while such a
program was undesirable even from the standpoint of those who continued until graduation,
it was infinitely worse for those who dropped out before graduation (in American univer-
sities, about two-thirds of all who enter). This great group carried away fragments and
foundations of advanced material which remained unknown to them.
Thus to the administration and the governing board of the University of Florida it
appears highly desirable that beginning students be given an opportunity to look about,
explore interests, test capabilities, verify tentative choices, and above all, to get that common
body of knowledge needed by all citizens of the Republic whether they be doctors, lawyers,
business men, or engineers. The General College was organized as the university college
to administer this work for freshmen and sophomores.
In a recent survey from the United States Office of Education, Higher Education,
the University of Florida is named along with the University of Wisconsin, the University
of Minnesota, and the University of Chicago as being . key institutions that have had
great influence on the development of the general college." In the same bulletin, the
University of Florida, the University of Southern California, and the University of Chicago
are listed as "typical" of one of the six general patterns now being followed in college and
university reorganization. It is pointed out further that more than fifty-three colleges and
universities now have a program of general education; fifty-two per cent of the state uni-
versities are divided into upper divisions (juniors and seniors) and lower divisions (fresh-
men and sophomores).
PROGRAMS AND COURSES
The program of general education may follow any one of several patterns. There is a
core of comprehensive areas to be studied by all. These are generally referred to as
C-courses. Even from the beginning while a student is working in the comprehensive
fields, he may elect departmental courses to test and discover interest, explore capacities.
and in a very definite way find evidence to guide his future steps. Many departments
and colleges have made adjustments and worked out introductory courses which are in
reality connectives between the C-courses and the highly specialized work of the several
departments. These introductory courses add to the usual foundations material that ex-
plains, evaluates, and indicates the significance of what is being studied.
There is no attempt to survey for freshmen and sophomores these great areas of human
knowledge and understanding. This would give a very thin spread. However, it is possible
to use illustrative material, pick out meaningful ideas, and give the student something very
definite to guide his next steps, whether they be away from the University or deeper into
professional foundations. These areas are:
fDuring the war emergency general education is most vital. It still takes at least four years
for colleges to train engineers, chemists, or ocher technicians. Preceding its long range objectives,
general education strives to present ideas and materials of the present day in such a manner as to
enable one to make desirable next steps. The present complexity demands constant appraisal and
adjustment.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
1. Government, Economics, Sociology, and History (known hereafter as C-1).
2. The Utilization and Understanding of the Physical World (C-2).
3. Communication: Reading, Speaking, and Writing (C-3).
4. Straight Thinking, Propaganda Analysis, Mathematics (C-4).
5. The Humanities: The Culture of Races, the Building of Civilization (C-5).
6. Fundamental Principles of Biological Development (C-6).
7. Elective subjects from Upper Division departments of the field or fields under
consideration for advanced work (total, 22 semester hours).
The average student, with due provision for individual differences, follows the general
plan above. Every spring the University is privileged to give placement tests in every high
school of the State to all seniors. Since many high schools are also trying to acquaint the
student with the common body of knowledge so needed by all, their records along with
the placement test results indicate the variation that should be made in the program
followed by a student at the University. Additional placement tests, similar to the final
comprehensive examinations required in each of the areas mentioned above, are being
worked out at the University to be used as a further aid in determining the pattern a
freshman's program should take.
GUIDANCE
Since the purpose of general education is to replace fragmentation, our program absorbs
much of the responsibility for guidance. Every subject or course of the General College
program is designed to guide the student. During the time he is studying the several great
areas of human understanding and achievement, he is also taking special subjects to test
aptitude, interests, and ability. The program is adjusted to the individual, but there must
be a more substantial basis for adjustment than just a chance whim of the moment. The
material of the comprehensive courses is selected and tested with guidance as a primary
function. While, of necessity, we must look forward to distant goals, the General College
is trying to present materials that are directly related to life experiences and which will
immediately become a part of the student's thinking and guide him in making correct next
steps. Thus the whole program-placement tests, progress reports, vocational aptitude tests,
selected material in the comprehensive courses, student conferences, provisions for superior
students, adjustment for individual differences, election privileges, and comprehensive
examinations-all are part of a plan designed to guide students.
Thus guidance is not attempted at one office by one individual with a small staff.
The whole drive of the General College program is one of directing the thinking of the
student. While the necessary correlation and unification is attempted at the General College
Office, throughout the General College period students consult Upper Division deans and
department heads to discuss future work. During the last month of each school year
these informal conferences are concluded by a scheduled formal conference at which each
student fills out a pre-registration card for the coming year.
By the guidance indicated above, the choice of professional work is held in abeyance
or postponed until the student is better acquainted with his capacity and disposition to
undertake work that will be profitable to himself and society. The students not only avoid
the handicap of narrow specialization but also make more intelligent choices of Upper
Division work, for their decisions are based more upon evidence than upon mere guesses.
Under any system more than one-half of the beginners drop out before graduation. Under
the guidance now provided a student's remaining in or dropping out of the University can be
based upon some evidence in addition to the chance whim, guess, or pressure of circum-
stances. In the areas provision is made from time to time for the constant adjustments
required in higher general education incident to the changing conditions of modern life.
CATALOG 1943-44
The subject matter of the various courses and the methods of presentation are to be
constantly varied in order to awaken the interest of the student, to stimulate his intel-
lectual curiosity, to encourage independent study, and to cultivate the attitudes necessary
for enlightened citizenship.

Except as indicated below, all students take four comprehensive courses the first year
and two the second year. For the remainder of his work the student elects additional
comprehensive courses or courses required by the colleges and professional schools of the
Upper Division (see pages 49 to 52).
The major provisions for individual differences are as follows:
C-1 to C-4, inclusive.-After conference with his advisor, a student
may postpone registration in one of the comprehensive courses (but
only one) until the following year, in order to take a modern language
or other subject that is introductory to the field he is considering for
special study.
C-2, C-4, and C-6.-These courses are elective for those students
who have had three years of laboratory science and three years of
mathematics in preparatory school and whose standings on the Place-
ment Tests indicate superior knowledge and understanding at these
levels.
C-6.-Pre-medical students, pre-dental students, and those who plan
further work in biology or agriculture are advised to take C-6 instead of
C-2 during the freshman year. If a student makes a good record for the
first half of C-6, an additional course may be added to his program the
second semester.
MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY
Entering students who have definitely decided to study medicine or dentistry should
notify the Dean of the General College of this choice in order that a program can be worked
out that will satisfy both the requirements of general education and those necessary to enter
the medical or dental schools. Many medical schools require at least three years of pre-
medical work, or ninety semester hours. Of these ninety hours, about forty are usually
specified, leaving fifty for electives. The American Association of Dental Schools requires
at least two years of pre-dental work, or sixty semester hours-about thirty hours specified.
Students of the University of Florida may easily get all the specified work in the three years'
required pre-medical or the two years' required pre-dental.
luringg the present emergency, substitutions will be permitted that enable a student to prepare
himself in a minimum of time for immediate objectives.

CHOICE OF ELECTIVES AND PREPARATION FOR THE
UPPER DIVISION CURRICULA
Students who are uncertain as to the field of advanced study they wish to enter may,
by choosing as electives introductory courses from various departments of instruction, obtain
helpful information upon which to base a choice of profession or occupation. Students
who have definitely made a choice of occupation or profession and who expect to enter
a certain curriculum of the Upper Division upon graduation from the General College may
profit by following the suggestions given.
Below are listed the specific requirements for admission to certain of the Upper Division
curricula and suggestions as to the best choice of electives for admission to those wh:ch
do not require specific courses. These requirements and suggestions should be used in
connection with the outline of the basic program of the General College (page 48) and
the requirements for graduation from the General College (page 54).
ADMISSION TO THE UPPER DIVISION
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS
After the student has completed the work of the General College and received a certifi-
cate of graduation, he may enter one of the colleges or professional schools of the Upper
Division if he has met the specific admission requirements of that college or school. A
student remaining in the General College to complete one or more specific requirements,
may, with the approval of the Dean of the College he expects to enter in the Upper Division,
take additional work which may apply on his record in the Upper Division.
The Board of University Examiners administers the admission requirements of the
Upper Division. Besides the certificate of graduation from the General College, the student
must he certified by the Board that he is qualified to pursue the work of the college or
school he wishes to enter.
In addition to the general requirements stated above, the various colleges and schools
of the Upper Division have specific requirements for entrance. These requirements are
listed below for the curricula of the several colleges and schools. Students in the General
College may prepare to meet these requirements by taking as electives the courses indicated
under the various curricula presented.

GENERAL COLLEGE REGULATIONS
REGISTRATION
The requirements for admission are found in the first part of this bulletin. Registration
procedure will be outlined in detail in the program supplied the student at his first meeting.
No student is properly registered until all fees have been paid. Fees are paid at the
Business Office, Rooms 102-4, Language Hall.
To drop a course from his schedule, to add a course, or to change a section, a student
should report to the Dean of the General College. Final dates for such changes will be
found in the University Calendar.
Students should notice carefully the registration dates listed in the University Calendar.
Late registration fees will be charged all students registering at any time after the regular
registration period.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOADS
The normal load for a student will be four comprehensive courses, Military Science and
Physical Fitness. A student with a superior preparatory school record is advised to take
five courses, Military Science and Physical Fitness. A student exempt from Military Science
should consult the dean concerning the advisability of taking an additional course.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
ATTENDANCE
If any student accumulates absences or fails to do class work to the extent that further
enrollment in the class appears to be of little value to him and detrimental to the best
interest of the class, it shall be the duty of the instructor to warn such student in writing
that further absences or failure to do class work will cause him to be dropped from the
course with a failing grade. Where possible this warning will be delivered personally;
otherwise, it will be mailed to the student's last University address by the Registrar.
Instructors shall immediately report all such warnings to the Course Chairman or Depart-
ment Head.
Should any absences or failure to do class work be incurred after this warning, the
student will be dropped from the course and be given a failing grade. Should he be
dropped from more than one course his case will be considered by the Committee on
Student Progress who may rule that he be dropped from the University and his record
marked "Dropped for Non-Attendance" or "Dropped for Unsatisfactory Work" as the case
may be.
Also see special absence regulations for Military Science and Physical Fitness under
those headings in this Catalog.
PROGRESS TESTS AND REPORTS
Progress Reports to indicate the progress a student seems to be making in his work
will be made each semester by the Board of Examiners and the instructors. While the
results of progress tests given by the Board in all the basic comprehensive courses are
diagnostic, used for adjustment and guidance, and not added numerically to the results of
the final comprehensive exams to determine a student's standing in any course, actual
experience shows that students who fail to make satisfactory standings on progress tests
also fail to pass the comprehensive examinations. In fact this agreement is so close that
progress tests are sometimes taken to establish a student's standing or credits.
The total Progress Report for each of the basic comprehensive courses includes test
results and instructors' judgments and indicates progress as "satisfactory" or "unsatis-
factory" as judged on the basis of (1) class attendance, (2) apparent effort, and (3) test
results.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
The comprehensive course examinations (of which the student must successfully pass
eight or more to complete the program of the General College) are administered by the
Board of University Examiners and are given in January, May, and August of each year.
A student must be familiar with the work of the various courses and be able to think in the
several fields in a comprehensive way in order to pass these examinations. A total of six
hours, divided into equal periods, will be required for each examination covering a full
year course. Standings on the comprehensive examinations are issued by the Board of
Examiners and are not subject to change by any other agency.
APPLICATIONS FOR COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
General College students who are enrolled in a course at the time the examination is
given need not make application for it. General College students who are not enrolled
in a course at the time an examination is given and who wish to take the comprehensive
examination must apply in writing to the Board of Examiners for permission prior to the
CATALOG 1943-44
last date set for filing such applications. Applications will not be accepted from students
registered in the colleges of the Upper Division. Before the application is accepted the
applicant will be required to furnish the Board of Examiners with proof that this privilege
has not been used to avoid the payment of usual University fees. Applications will be
accepted only for those examinations which are administered by the Board of Examiners.
The Board of Examiners is the only agency authorized to give General College students
examinations by application.
Should a student fail a comprehensive course examination, he may qualify to repeat
the examination by repeating the course or by further independent study. Evidence of
additional preparation must be submitted to the Board of Examiners with the formal
application to repeat the examination.
GRADUATION
When a student has completed his program in the General College and has passed his
comprehensive examinations and met the other requirements of the General College curricu-
lum, he will be granted the Certificate of Associate of Arts. Students with outstanding
records will be granted the Certificate of Associate of Arts, with Honors and with High
Honors as recommended by the Board of Examiners. The General College does not
consider class grades, semester hours, and honor point averages as absolute or as sole
prerequisites to the completion of its curriculum. A full two years' work including Military
Science (or approved substitute if the student is exempt from Military Science) as out-
lined on page 33 must have been completed for the student to be eligible for consideration
for graduation from the General College.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY
A student wishing to withdraw from the University during any semester or at the end
of the first semester should report to the Office of the Registrar and secure a blank to be
executed for this purpose. Failure to comply with this requirement makes a student liable
for dismissal for non-attendance or for failure in studies, and subject to payment of failure
fees when and if he re-enrolls in the University.
FAILURE IN STUDIES
The Committee on Student Progress will consider the record of each student in the
General College at the end of each session, and will report to the Administrative Board
of the General College the names of those students whose further attendance at the Univer-
sity appears to be of doubtful value. The students concerned may be called before the
Committee and the facts of each case will be thoroughly considered before final action
is taken. Failure to attend classes, to take progress tests, or to take the comprehensive
examination at the end of a course may be interpreted as evidence of unsatisfactory pro-
gress. If further enrollment at the University appears to be of little value to a student,
the Committee may advise the parent to withdraw the student.

ORGANIZATION
The College of Agriculture is composed of three divisions:
1. Instruction Division (the College proper)
2. Research Division (Experiment Station)
3. Agricultural Extension Service
THE COLLEGE
The aim of the College is to afford young men the best possible opportunity for gaining
technical knowledge and training in the art and science of Agriculture, thus enabling grad-
uates to become effective producing agriculturists, leaders in educational work, research
workers, etc.
LIBRARIES
The University Library contains many works on agriculture and horticulture. Each
department has a small collection of well selected volumes which are always accessible. In
the Experiment Station Library are bulletins from the United States Department of Agricul-
ture and from the experiment stations of the world, all fully indexed.
DEGREES AND CURRICULA
To enter the College of Agriculture and register for the curriculum leading to the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, students are required to present a certificate of
graduation from the General College, and to have completed the following courses as
electives in the General College:
Acy. 125-126 Agricultural Chemistry
or
Cy. 101-102 General Chemistry
and
Nine hours of electives in Agricultural Courses.
The minimum load for students in the College of Agriculture will average 17 hours a
semester. A total of 68 semester hours on which the student must earn an average of C
or higher will be required for graduation, including Military Science, if elected.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
Students entering the College of Agriculture may take a major in the curriculum in
General Agriculture or in any one of the following departments and divisions:
Agricultural Chemistry Botany, including the departments of
Agricultural Economics (a) Bacteriology
Agricultural Education (b) Botany
Agricultural Engineering (c) Plant Pathology
Agronomy Entomology
Animal Industry, including the Horticulture
departments of Soils
(a) Animal Production
(b) Dairy Husbandry
(c) Dairy Manufacture
(d) Poultry Husbandry
A minimum of 20 semester hours is required for a major in any department.
The head of the department in which a student majors (or his appointee) will act as
the student's adviser, assist the student in arranging his course of study, and make necessary
recommendations to the Dean. The student's courses for each semester are subject to the
approval of the Dean and the department head.
If a student anticipates pursuing graduate work, he will find it helpful to elect as many
basic courses as possible, such as chemistry, biology, mathematics, botany, physics, econom-
ics, and a language. On the other hand, if a student anticipates going into applied agri-
culture: farming, county agent work, farm superintendency, etc., he will find it profitable
to elect as much technical agriculture as possible in departments related to his major work.
CREDIT FOR PRACTICAL WORK
By previous arrangement with the head of the department and the Dean, students may,
during their course of study, do practical work under competent supervision in any recog-
nized agricultural pursuit, and upon returning to the college and rendering a satisfactory
written report showing faithful service, will be entitled to one credit for each month of
such work. Such credits may not total more than three.
Practical work is especially important for students who have no farm experience.
Even though they cannot procure employment under such co.apetent supervision as
will give college credit, they should secure work along the line in which they are major-
ing. Faculty members will assist as much as possible in securing such vacation employment.
GRADUATION WITH HONORS
To graduate with Honors a student must have an honor point average of 3.20 or above
for the Upper Division and be recommended by the Head of the Department in which he
majors and the Dean. The number so graduated shall not exceed 20 per cent of the grad-
uating class.
To graduate with High Honors a student must have an honor point average of 3.50 or
above for the Upper Division, must have done independent work exceptionally well and
must pass a final comprehensive examination with distinction. He must receive the recom-
mendation of the Head of the Department in which he majors and of the Dean. The
number so graduated shall not exceed 5 per cent of the graduating class.
Students eligible for graduation with Honors or with High Honors shall be recommended
by the Heads of the Departments in which they are majoring to the Dean. Students may
complete their qualifications for these Honors upon invitation from the Dean.

ENTOMOLOGY
The curriculum for this department is flexible. Students will be permitted to make
alterations which are deemed of value in their specialized type of training. Students should
confer with the head of the department. The proper selection of electives will enable a
student to train for one of the following phases of the profession: 1. Insects affecting man
and animals, 2. Industrial entomology, 3. Insects affecting fruit, vegetable, and field crops.
4. Legal phase of entomology or plant quarantine and inspection, 5. Forest entomology
and conservation, 6. Research phase of entomology and graduate work, 7. Commercial
entomology and pest control.
Copies of the suggested special curricula for the aforementioned fields of specialization
may be obtained from the head of the department. Ey. 201 (Man and Insects) or Ey.
301 (Introduction to Entomology) are prerequisites or corequisites for all other entomology
courses except Ey. 314.

GENERAL STATEMENT
The work of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts is organized on the basis of
a Lower Division and an Upper Division. Five professional curricula are offered: Architec-
ture, Building Construction, Landscjpe Architecture, Painting, and Commercial Art.
Each curriculum is devised with the intention of giving thorough training in the funda-
mentals of the profession chosen. The project method of teaching, in which related
material is integrated, is employed in every course in the School of Architecture and
Allied Arts, and the projects of the various courses are so integrated that each curriculum,
instead of being a series of separate subjects, is a unified and correlated whole.
Individual instruction is given to each student. Because of the individual nature of
the work, each student passes from one group of problems to the next in varying lengths
of time according to his accomplishments, and irrespective of University time units and
the progress of other students.
ARCHITECTURAL REGISTRATION
The State of Florida, like most of the other states, has prescribed by law the qualifica-
tions for architectural practice and requires the passing of examinations given by a state
board. Properly qualified persons may be admitted to the examinations of the National
Council of Architectural Registration Boards, and many advantages accrue to those who
obtain their registration in this way.
SPECIAL LECTURES
Prominent men from related fields and from the various chapters of the American
Institute of Architects and the Florida Association of Architects are invited to give lectures
which are intended to acquaint the student with the best professional thought and with
the culture of our times.
The semi-annual business meeting of the Florida Association of Architects, which is held
in the rooms of the School, is open to the students. An opportunity is thus provided for
the students to become acquainted with the problems which confront the practicing archi-
tect, particularly in Florida, and to meet potential employers.
GRADUATE STUDY
The degree of Master of Arts in Architecture is offered in the Graduate School. For
further information, see page 114.
*On leave of absence.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
REGULATIONS OF THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND ALLIED ARTS
Advancement.-Advancement in the Departments of Architecture and Painting are made
by vote of the faculty. To be advanced from one course to the succeeding one, a student
must have completed the projects of the course successfully, and must give evidence of
satisfactory accomplishment in all the corequisite courses of his curriculum.
Academic Credit.-The School of Architecture and Allied Arts has dispensed with clock
hours, class grades, and semester hours credit as prerequisites to the completion of its work.
Understanding and demonstrated proficiency are used as a test for granting a degree, rather
than the traditional accumulation of credits.
Student Responsibility.-The student must assume full responsibility for registering for
the proper courses and for fulfilling all requirements for his degree. The faculty will assist
and advise, but the student must take the initiative and assume responsibility for managing
his own affairs.
Elective Courses.-In order that a student may broaden his general or professional edu-
cation beyond the regular prescribed program he may obtain permission to enroll in such
additional courses as he may select.
Student's Work.-All work submitted by students is the property of the School and may
be retained for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruction.
Graduation with Honors.-Students successfully completing the work of the School
shall, according to the character of their work as adjudged by the faculty, receive diplomas
of graduation, of graduation With Honors, or of graduation With High Honors.
DEGREES AND CURRICULA
DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
The Department of Architecture offers instruction in Architecture, Building Construc-
tion, and Landscape Architecture.
Architecture.-The work in Architecture is for students who desire to become architects
or to enter some related field in which utility and beauty are combined objectives. It is the
aim of this course to prepare students to become draftsmen, designers, inspectors and super-
intendents of construction, specification writers, teachers, etc., or ultimately to become
practicing architects or specialists in their chosen fields.
The course in Architecture, while not of fixed duration, will nominally require three
years beyond the General College, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Architecture.
Building Construction.-The work in Building Construction is for students who are
interested in the construction and erection of buildings rather than in their designing, or
who wish to prepare themselves to design the structural parts of buildings, or to carry on
the business of contracting, or to participate in other branches of the building industry.
The course in Building Construction, while not of fixed duration, will nominally re-
quire two years beyond the General College, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Building Construction.
Landscape Architecture.-The course in Landscape Architecture is designed to fit students
for work in the arrangement and preservation of land areas for use and beauty. The aim
is not only to prepare a graduate for immediate usefulness as an assistant to an established
practitioner, but also to lay a foundation for his ultimate independent practice of the
profession.
The course in Landscape Architecture, while not of fixed duration, will nominally require
two years beyond the General College, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Landscape Architecture.

DEGREES AND CURRICULA
ADMISSION
To enter the College of Arts and Sciences students are required to present
a certificate of graduation from the General College and to be certified by the
Board of University Examiners as qualified to pursue the work of the College.
Transfer students who wish to enter the College of Arts and Sciences are
referred to the Board of University Examiners in accordance with the provisions
of the section of this bulletin entitled "Transfer Students," page 15.
THE DEGREES OF BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The curricula which lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science
are alike in all basic requirements.
The requirements for graduation from these curricula are as follows:
A total of sixty-four semester hours, with an average of C or better; in this total must
be included (1) either a Departmental Major or a Group Major as described below, and
(2) at least twelve semester hours, selected with the approval of the Dean or his ap-
pointee, in departments other than those which contribute to the major.
THE DEPARTMENTAL MAJOR
Many students desire or find it expedient to specialize in some one subject-matter field.
Such students should undertake to earn a departmental major.
A departmental major consists of three parts, as follows:
(1) Concentration consisting of not less than 24 and not more than 32 semester hours
in one subject-matter field. This field is called the student's major field. The
head of the department in which the major field is administered, or his appointee,
will act as the student's registration adviser. Each student expecting to earn a
departmental major should consult his adviser regarding choice of courses before
each registration. No courses in the major field in which the grade earned is below
C will be counted toward fulfillment of this requirement.
CATALOG 194344
(2) A reading knowledge of a foreign language or 6 semester hours in a foreign language
course numbered above 100.
(3) Such subsidiary courses from subject-matter fields other than the major field as are
essential to thoroughness of concentration and comprehension. The student should
consult his adviser concerning these courses.
THE GROUP MAJOR
Many students do not need or desire the intensive concentration required in a depart-
mental major. For such students group majors are provided.
A group major consists of two parts, as follows:
(1) A total of not less than fourteen semester courses selected from a group of three
related subject-matter fields, with at least four semester courses in each, and an
average of C or better in each of these fields.
(2) A reading knowledge of a foreign language or 6 semester hours in a foreign lan-
guage course numbered above 100.
BACHELOR OF ARTS
The degree of Bachelor of Arts will be conferred upon those who fulfill the requirements
for degrees with majors in one or more of the fields of Bible, Economics, English, French,
German, History, Journalism, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, Spanish and Speech.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts will also be conferred upon those who fulfill the re-
quirements for degrees with majors in one or more of the fields of Geography, Mathematics
and Psychology when their remaining courses are selected predominantly from the other
fields which lead to this degree.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The degree of Bachelor of Science will be conferred upon those who fulfill the re-
quirements for degrees with majors in one or more of the fields of Bacteriology, Biology,
Botany, Chemistry, Geology, and Physics.
The degree of Bachelor of Science will also be conferred upon those who fulfill the
requirements for degrees with majors in one or more of the fields of Geography, Mathematics
and Psychology, provided their remaining courses are selected predominantly from the other
fields which lead to this degree.
GROUP MAJOR IN INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS
This program of studies provides the student with a many-sided liberal education for
present-day citizenship and at the same time trains him for lines of endeavor that require
specialized knowledge and understanding of the peoples and nations of the Western Hemi-
sphere. Variations in the number and character of specialized courses included in the stu-
dent's program make it possible to concentrate in many different aspects of Inter-American
Affairs, including industrial and commercial, diplomatic and consular, journalistic, etc. Spe-
cial opportunities are available for advanced study through the facilities of the Institute of
Inter-American Affairs of the University of Florida. Students majoring in Inter-American
Affairs are urged to spend at least one semester or two summer sessions in a University
located in one of the countries of Latin America.

DIVISION OF GEOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
The Division of Geography and Geology is organized to provide for instruction and re-
search in geography and geology, to meet the needs of students who wish to obtain some
knowledge of these subjects as a part of their general education; to provide part of the
training for students preparing for business careers and for the United States Foreign
Service; to prepare students for positions as teachers of geography and geology; to train
students for research work: as investigators in governmental service, as experts for com-
mercial, agricultural and industrial firms and as specialists in resources and land planning.
Advanced work in geography and geology is becoming increasingly significant and essen-
tial in the rapid growth of the State of Florida, especially with regard to the discovery and
utilization of natural resources, in agricultural development and in land planning and land
use programs. In geography the University of Florida is peculiarly suited to the study of
sub-tropical geography, the Caribbean region, climatic studies including air drainage and
frost formation, agricultural geography, mapping and cartography, and year around geo-
graphic field work. In geology special opportunities exist for the study of recent sedi-
mentary rocks, shorelines and marine terraces, ground water problems and sub-surface
erosion, paleontology and petroleum geology, and special resources such as phosphate, lime
rock, glass sands, fullers earth, kaolin, etc.

GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Business Administration offers instruction in two different fields: Busi-
ness Administration and Public Administration.
Instruction in Business Administration is designed to provide analysis of the basic prin-
ciples of business. Its purpose is to prepare students (1) to become business executives;
(2) to assume the increasing responsibilities of business ownership; and (3) to act in the
capacity of business specialists.
Business education involves consideration of the following occupational levels: (1) upper
levels composed of proprietors and executives; (2) intermediate levels composed of depart-
ment heads and minor executives; and (3) lower levels composed of clerical and routine
workers. The scope of business education includes preparation for all of these levels. While
the College of Business Administration has organized its curricula in business administration
to prepare students primarily to occupy the upper and intermediate levels, it has not entirely
ignored the lower levels.
The College of Business Administration does not profess to turn out finished business
managers, executives, department heads, or minor executives. Its curricula provide instruc.

tion that will help to shorten the period of apprenticeship for those who expect to enter
business occupations.
Instruction in Public Administration is designed to provide analysis of the basic prin-
ciples of government. Its purpose is to prepare students for public service occupations.
Government has become increasingly complex and requires personnel thoroughly trained
in political science, economics, history, and other related sciences. The program of train-
ing offered supplies fundamental courses in these various fields. It does not equip students
with specific skills; it is designed to provide them with broad training in the structure
and functions of government and to prepare them for readier entry into public life and
occupations.
It is hoped that arrangements in the near future may be made to provide students with
actual experience and initiation into government service through, a limited number of intern-
ships in state and local government.
RADIO TRAINING
Students in the College of Business Administration who are interested in the special
program for Radio Broadcasting Training should see page 111.
LECTURES BY BUSINESS EXECUTIVES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
It is the policy of the College to invite from time to time prominent business executives
and public officials both from within and from without the state to address the students
in business administration and in public administration.
BUREAU OF ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS RESEARCH
The College of Business Administration maintains a Bureau of Economic and Business
Research which provides faculty members and graduate students with an opportunity to
engage in specific types of research work. Its activities are coordinated with the research
activities of the College as a whole.
MEMBERSHIP IN NATIONAL AND REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
The College of Business Administration is a member of the American Association of
Collegiate Schools of Business and of the Southern Economic Association.
PLACEMENT OF GRADUATES
While the College of Business Administration does not obligate itself to secure positions
for its graduates, it operates a placement service and does everything it can to assist
students in securing employment after graduation.
BUSINESS WRITING
Students in the College of Business Administration are permitted to include Eh. 355.-
Business Writing among their electives in Business Administration. Those students found
deficient in English will be reported to the office of the Dean and the Dean may require
them to take Business Writing during the next semester.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
ADJUSTMENTS TO WAR NEEDS
Students in the College of Business Administration may be permitted, subject to the
approval of the Dean, to make certain adjustments in their courses arising out of their needs
for specific types of training in preparation for the armed services.

hours during their first semester, provided they have graduated from the General College
with honors; likewise, they may increase their credit loads to 18 academic semester hours
(9 in summer session) during their second semester, provided they have attained an honor
point average of 3 (B) or more in the preceding semester. The maximum credit load of
all students after their first two semesters is limited to 18 academic semester hours. The
minimum requirement for graduation from the College of Business Administration is 66
semester hours on which the student must earn an average of C or better. To graduate
With Honors, a student must have graduated from the General College with honors and
completed the work of the Upper Division with an average of 3.0 (B) or higher, or in lieu
of graduation from the General College with honors, have completed the work of the Upper
Division with an average of 3.2 or higher. To graduate With High Honors, a student must

from the Office of the Dean.
. Of the 66 semester credit hours required for graduation, not more than six semester
credit hours may be earned by correspondence or extension study. Such credit hours,
furthermore, must be approved for each individual student in advance by the Committee
on Curricular Adjustments.
DEGREES AND CURRICULA
The College of Business Administration offers two degrees: The Bachelor of Science in
Business Administration and the Bachelor of Science in Public Administration. To secure
the first degree students must complete either the Curriculum in Business Administration

CURRICULUM IN COMBINATION WITH LAW
The College of Business Administration combines with the General College and the
College of Law in offering a six-year program of study to students who desire ultimately
to enter the College of Law. Students register during the first two years in the General
College and the third year in the College of Business Administration. When they have
fully satisfied the academic requirements of the College of Business Administration, they
are eligible to register in the College of Law and may during their last three years com-
plete the course in the College of Law. When students have, after entering the College
of Law, completed one year's work in law (28 semester hours with at least a C average),
they may offer this year's work as a substitute for the fourth year in the College of Busi-
ness Administration and receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Adminis-
tration.
The maximum credit load for all students registered for the curriculum in combination
with law is 18 academic semester hours. To graduate With Honors, a student must have
graduated from the General College with honors and completed 70 semester hours on which
he has earned an average of 3.0 or higher, or in lieu of graduation from the General College
with honors, complete 70 semester hours on which he has earned an average of 3.2 or higher.
The curriculum in Business Administration in combination with Law consists of 27
semester hours of required courses and 15 hours of elective courses. The requirements

GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Education considers itself a service institution for the state. It has as
its main purpose the development and the improvement of teaching in all its branches.
Through courses in education, it offers opportunities for study and professional growth;
through the Bureau of Educational Research it offers opportunities for research and the
investigation of all kinds of school problems; through the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School
it offers opportunities for observation and participation in classroom instruction and the
study of problems of child development; and through the Florida Curriculum Laboratory
and other facilities it offers opportunities to total school faculties and individual teachers
for improving their educational programs. There are constantly many valuable contacts
with the public school officials, teachers, and administrators which afford ample facilities for
professional improvement.
THE P. K. YONGE LABORATORY SCHOOL
The P. K. Yonge Laboratory School was established by the State of Florida primarily
as a research and experimental center. As as integral part of the University, it includes
the following staff and facilities: Kindergarten and teachers, six year elementary school
and teachers, six year high school and teachers, a school psychologist, a school nurse, and,
in the fields of music, art, and health and physical education, a staff which works in all
divisions of the school. As a research unit it provides facilities for experiments, investiga-
tions, and many analytical studies. All staff members participate in this work. The school
has three other purposes, viz., to direct the education of the children in the school, to serve
as a laboratory in the pre-service education of teachers, and to serve the schools of the state
in an in-service program of teacher education.
THE BUREAU OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
The Bureau of Educational Research is an integral part of the educational facilities
of the College of Education. It offers many opportunities for research and investigation
of school problems, and its facilities and services may be utilized in a wide variety of
activities. It works with the Laboratory School and College of Education in experiments
and investigations; it works with schools of the state where its services are needed; it
*On leave of absence.
CATALOG 1943-44
assists other University agencies in projects undertaken by the University; it works with
the State Department of Education and Florida Education Association in projects and
research of interest to the state as a whole; it cooperates with out-of-state institutions in
certain types of projects; it cooperates with several other agencies, such as the United States
Office of Education, and the National Educational Association; and it supplies a variety
of materials to schools and individual teachers of the state.
THE FLORIDA CURRICULUM LABORATORY
The Florida Curriculum Laboratory is located on the third floor of the P. K. Yonge
Building. This Laboratory is made possible through the cooperation of the Florida State
Department of Education, the College of Education, and the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School.
The purpose of the Florida Curriculum Laboratory is to serve all individuals and groups
of individuals who are interested in improving the learning experiences of Florida girls and
boys. It provides consultative services, duplicates materials for curriculum work and edu-
cational meetings, and maintains a large collection of books and other curriculum materials.
This collection contains approximately 16,000 pieces of materials, including professional
books, textbooks, pamphlets, bulletins, periodicals, and materials from state and city school
systems. Its facilities and resources make the Florida Curriculum Laboratory especially
valuable as a work-center for persons engaged in curriculum improvement. It is used
extensively by Florida educators in the preparation of curriculum bulletins and serves as a
nucleus for the University of Florida Summer Workshops. The Laboratory seeks to assist
individual teachers in service as well as committees and total school faculties. It welcomes
inquiries concerning problems that face in-service teachers and earnestly endeavors to
provide suggestions that may be useful.
THE SLOAN FOUNDATION PROJECT IN APPLIED ECONOMICS
Through the cooperation of the College of Education, the School of Architecture and
Allied Arts, the College of Engineering and assisting public schools and with the assistance
of grants-in-aid from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Inc., the University of Florida has
undertaken an experiment in applied economics. The object of this experiment is to dis-
cover: First, whether school instruction in concepts and methods of improving housing
conditions will actually improve housing conditions in the community, and second, to
measure quantitatively the extent of such change, if any. Emphasis is placed primarily
on the improvement of housing conditions with the lower-income group of the white popula-
tion. The experiment is administered and directed by the University through an Operating
Committee of the Project. The State Department of Education has approved the Project
and assists in its development. Original plans were made in the early part of 1940 and the
project was initiated during the school year of 1940-41. Funds for the Project, furnished
through grants-in-aid by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Inc., are limited to the prepara-
tion of instructional materials and plans for use in the assisting schools and are not avail-
able for expenditure in the communities. Considerable instructional materials have already
been prepared for use in these schools.
THE INTER-AMERICAN CENTER
The College of Education in cooperation with the United States Office of Education
has established at the University of Florida an Inter-American Demonstration Center for
elementary and secondary schools. Contributing agencies are the United States Office of
Education, the Florida State Department of Education, and the College of Education and
Institute of Inter-American Affairs of the University of Florida. The purpose of the Center
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
is to assist interested schools in developing instructional materials on Inter-American
civilizations, to provide opportunities for the exchange of materials and ideas with other
Centers, and to introduce these into the educational program of other schools of Florida.
The Center is directed by a supervisory committee, appointed by the Dean of the College
of Education, and administered by the executive secretary of the committee who is known
as the Supervisor of the Center. It is hoped that the work of this Center will lead to a
better understanding of and a better attitude toward our American Neighbors.
THE DOE MUSEUM
The Doe Collection and Natural Science Museum is one of the most interesting and
unique parts of the University. It is located in the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School,
occupying the whole third floor of the north wing. It contains one of the largest bird
collections and the most complete collection of birds' eggs in North America. It has 1,250
species and sub-species of eggs, which in their series represent 60,000 eggs. Eggs of 15
kinds of birds now extinct, are in the collection. In addition to the collection of birds
and birds' eggs, the Natural Science Museum also contains a growing collection of marine
shells, land snails, and about 2,000 butterflies. This museum is used for instructional
purposes with children and as a demonstration unit for the use of museum materials in
other schools.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
Library facilities of the College of Education include the Main Library which houses
over 191,000 books, the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School Library, the Curriculum Laboratory
Library, and the Joseph R. Fulk Library of School Administration.
TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES
Graduates of the College of Education are granted certificates by the State Department
of Education without further examination provided that during their college careers they

department heads are eager to confer with students pertaining to their studies and will
assist them in planning their schedules.
The curricula of the College of Engineering are planned to give instruction in the
technical aspects of professional engineering, and in the social and economic phases of
modern industrial life. They are not designed to turn out technical experts but rather to give
students that education which will later enable them to qualify as Professional Engineers
after they have had the requisite practical experience.
After a period of general education, well articulated with subjects basic to Engineering
in the General College, the student enters the College of Engineering. Here he is given
instruction in professional engineering courses and is encouraged to utilize the time allowed
for electives for productive activity in non-technical courses. The individual characteristics
of the student are given consideration and he is encouraged to develop his initiative and
imagination, to devote his spare time to special technical problems in the laboratory, to
study the history and trend of engineering practice as related to social and economic
developments, and to coordinate his efforts to produce an educated man well grounded
in the fundamentals of engineering practice and well equipped to enter the industrial field
and to advance himself in his chosen profession.
The student may select curricula which will give him some specialization in the fields
of chemical, civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical engineering, the Bachelor's degree
being awarded on the basis of such specialization. By choosing elective courses in spe-
cialized fields of radio, aeronautics, air conditioning, management,' design, etc., a still
further degree of specialization can be secured, if he so desires. For each of the curricula,
close coordination between departments gives broad engineering training; and systematic
planning gives the necessary detailed factual information required of engineering graduates.
In order to assist as much as possible in the war effort the College of En-
gineering has adjusted its program and is now offering courses in the Summer
Session. Students can therefore accelerate their program and can graduate in
three years or less. This is brought about, not by the curtailment of necessary
parts of the curricula, but primarily by attendance at summer school. In the
accelerated program the order in which courses are taken is most important. In
order to avoid difficulties with prerequisites students should secure detailed in-
formation directly from the Office of the Dean.

FLORIDA INDUSTRIES' COOPERATIVE PLAN
Several of Florida's industries, under a cooperative arrangement with the College of
Engineering, will employ Florida men in industry at regular intervals during the students'
course at the University. Students are eligible for cooperative employment who are candi-
dates for an engineering degree and who have shown that they are satisfactorily prepared
scholastically; such as, standing in the upper 25% of their high school class or having
satisfactory University grades.
During the months of November or March any student may file an application with
the Dean of the College of Engineering for assignment in industry. Placement will depend
upon the openings available and the industrial experience of the applicant, his scholarship
and personality. Applications may be accepted from men already in industry who wish
to complete their college courses and need college credit of one year or more towards a
degree.
After assignment to an industry, a student alternates with his partner each college ses-
sion. The periods are: February 1 to May 31; June 1 to August 31; and September 1 to
January 31. There are two men on each team so that one man is in the University while
his partner is in industry. During each period in Industry, each student is paid for his
work. This pay should cover necessary living expenses.
Any industry willing to enter or desirous of entering the Florida Industries' Cooperative
Plan should write to the Dean of the College of Engineering, University of Florida.
LABORATORY FACILITIES
The laboratories of the College of Engineering enable the students to secure practical
experience in engineering testing and in general laboratory procedure. Well equipped
