Entered as second- class matter Novemoor 4, 1942, at the Postoffice at Black - Mounta. in, North Carolina, under the Act of August 24, 1912. Black Mountain College Bulletin V()! ume V Number 3 April 1947 To educate today, then, must mean to broaden outlook and to provide a setting where theory can be confronted with evidence, a laboratory where thought can be tested by action. Black Mountain College as a community is such a laboratory. The College, from its beginning, has recognized and sought to develop the special functions that a community can serve in general education. While carrying on the traditional disciplines of college education, the College seeks to combine. the cultivation of imaginative thought with training in accurate reasoning; it attempts to develop foresight by emphasizing the search for fundamental principles that underlie transitory forms, and to show that knowledge must be linked with a will to act. It can reveal to what ends cooperation and competition each lead, and · bring into balance work directed toward inJividual development and work done in the general interest of a group. As a liberal arts college Black Mountain College is necessarily concerned with the essential problems of the times. Today these problems are world- wide. They have grown beyond the horizons of individual, group or nation. But they must be understood by individuals and solved by individuals. This generation will have acute need of both vision and practical competence. 1 2 ORGANIZATION The College is one of the few in the United States to be owned by its faculty and entirely controlled by its teachers and the student body. The faculty has ultimate control of College property and educational discipline. The College has neither trustees nor the usual administrative officers, such as president and deans. The faculty elects from its membership a Board of Fellows which administers the finances and makes faculty appointments. Student officers attend faculty meetings dealing with the general affairs of the College. The chief student officer, the moderator, is a legal member of the Board of Fellows during his period of office. As such he has full voting power and an equal voice with the other eight members. Community problems are occasionally brought to the general community meetings for discussion, and in so far as possible, for settlement. The meetings, attended by all members of the staff, their families and the students, are in character much like the New England town meeting. Questions that come up in connection with the daily life of the total community are referred to a Community Council, representing faculty, staff, students, and all other members of the community. YEAR ROUND PROGRAM The year at Black Mountain College is divided into specified academic tenns and into free periods at Christmas, Easter, and the beginning and end of summer. Continuity in the life of the community is maintained year round in work on the fann, general maintenance, and administration. This means that a portion of the community arranges to remain during vacations to keep the plant going, also regarding these periods as valuable opportunities for independent work and study. The first semester will begin at 8: 30 a. m., September 17, 1947. Christmas free period will extend from noon December 13, 1947, to 8: 30 a. m., January 7, 1948. The first semester will end February 4, 1948. The second semester will begin 8: 30 a. m., February 12, 1948. The spring free period will extend from March 27 to April 5, 1948. The second semester will end June 16, 1948. Summer session dates to be announced. COMMUNITY WORK PROGRAM All members of the community devote some of their time to practical work. This includes the routine tasks of maintenance plus such work as planting, tending and harvesting crops, and the clearing of forest land for pasture. Some experience leading to the acquirement of skills in building and construction is obtainable through activities in connection with necessary maintenance and repair. The College anticipates building soon; and lumbering, surveying, and building of models have been engaged in. Students contribute to and are responsible for many aspects of running the community. 3 ADMISSION TO THE STUDENT BODY The College has never had fixed regulations concerning the age or scholastic background of applicants for admission, since it has preferred to consider each individual case upon its merits. As a rule the prospective student presents college preparatory credits, five references, and a transcript of previous work. If grades are low, there must be some compensatory evidence. The Admissions Committee, which is composed of both faculty and students, looks for seriousness of purpose in the applicant. Experience shows that. students who have arrived at a desire for self- directed work, as well as for a certain freedom of pace and sphere within which to study, are the people who benefit most from Black Mountain College. In the student body there are usually a number with . specific aims who have transferred from other colleges. In the case of such transfers it is often found that Black Mountain College asks more of the student in terms of self- discipline and capacity for sustained work than his previous college experience did. Each applicant states why he wants to come to Black Mountain and what he expects to get from it. His desire to contribute to community life is always a consideration. A faculty advisor is appointed for each entering student. After the first semester the student may choose his own advisor. A comprehensive examination is made available each year to those students who wish to find out how they stand in general knowledge and maturity, as evaluated by the' faculty. At the time the student presents his plan of work toward graduation, he is given a detailed examination of his total preparation for the undertaking. Admission to candidacy for graduation is granted upon approval of the graduation plan if the student meets high standards of competence in academic work, initiative and responsibility in community work, and sensitivity in the arts. GRADUATION When a student has completed his plan of study, he asks to be examined for graduation. If the Faculty find the student's work satisfactory, they invite an outside examiner to the College. The examiner usually requires seven three- hour papers covering the student's field of study. These are followed by oral examinations. One of the papers concerned with a special problem may be presented in thesis form. In the arts, exhibitions or performances may take the place of some of these papers. Graduation is decided upon by the Faculty. The decision is based upon the report of the examiner and the student's entire record. Black Mountain College confers no degree. The work demanded for graduation is equivalent to that required for a Bachelor of Arts degree at colleges and universities of long established standing. In the past, outside examiners have come from Duke University, Columbia, Bryn Mawr, University of North Carolina, Princeton, St. John's Col- 4 lege, Harvard, Yale, Antioch, University of Wisconsin, and other institutions. GENERAL INFORMATION Black Mountain College is situated in the heart of the Great Craggy Mountains of Western North Carolina, a section noted for its climate and scenery. Because of the altitude - 2,400 feet - the summers are usually cool, particularly at night. The College campus with its farm and a little lake is just off U. S. Highway 70, three miles from the town of Black Mountain. The railroad station, Black Mountain, is on the scenic Southern Railroad Line from Salisbury to Asheville. Direct Pullman cars run from New York to Black Mountain. The City of Asheville is fifteen miles from the College. The college lake is bordered on the south by the dining hall, with a dining porch; on the north, by the Studies Building erected with student and faculty labor. The living quarters of the college students include two dormitory buildings with bedrooms for two, three and more persons, and four temporary housing units supplied reo cently by the government. Members of the Black Mountain College community take care of their own rooms. At Black Mountain College teachers and students live on the campus. They have their meals together in the dining hall. Thus there is a constant personal contact of students and teachers. The college farm supplies milk, meat, and vegetables to the college kitchen. Clothing appropriate for walking in the mountains and for working outdoors should be provided, as well as ordinary city clothes suitable for this climate. Evening dresses are worn at dances and concerts. FIELDS OF STUDY Each year study is conducted in the four broad fields of the Arts, Language and Literature, Mathematics and Science, and Social Studies. Specific courses vary from year to year according to faculty in residence, student demands, and needs. These courses are supplemented by tutorials and informal study groups, which handle materi · al not included in the formal schedule. Training toward independent and self · directed work is an aim of Black Mountain College. Students are advised to make a schedule that will give them time to do outside work on their own. They are also advised, at least in a long range way, to balance their programs between reading, making, and doing. The following courses were given during 1946 · 1947. They represent, within limits, the area covered during a year. Courses for 1947- 1948 will be announced shortly before 5 the heginning of the fall term. Students interested in taking certain courses at a certain time should inquire whether such courses are to he given. In the Arts, work was conducted in Painting, Drawing, Woodworking, Voice, Piano, Ensemhle, Introduction to Music, Harmony, Counterpoint, Prohlems of Musical Form and Structure from Gregorian Chant to Bach, A Capella, Chorus, Bookhinding, Weaving, Writing. Spontaneous groups of interested students and faculty studied Art History, and conducted play readings. In Languages, French and German were cultivated through contact with foreign- hred faculty and students; elementary Latin was provided in the curriculum. Courses in Literature included American Literature hefore 1860, Shakespeare, Literary Criticism, Thomas Mann, Modem Prose Fiction. Mathematics and Science stressed hoth theoretical and lahoratory considerations: Mechanics and Mathematical Analysis, Mathematics, Physics of Maintenance Work, Statics, Introduction to Theoretical Chemistry. Courses in Social Studies were given in psychology, sociology, economics, history, philosophy: Human Relations, Psychology of Social Issues, Dynamics of Learning, Cultural History of the Greek Wodd, Cultural History of the Medieval Wodd, Race Prohlems, Comparative Religion, World Today, Historical Introduction to Present- Day Economic Analysis, International Economics, Introduction to American Lahor, Seminar in Economics, American Civilization, Foreign Policy of the United States since 1900, Philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, Prohlems of Philosophy, History of Extraordinary Communities. Study of Farming, hoth theoretical and practIcal, was conducted under the supervision of the two college farmers. Shorthand and typewrItmg were taught informally at the college office. The faculty at Black Mountain College teach what they wish, considering need as well as preference; therefore curriculum can be only approximately predicted. Study is not wholly a matter of participation in the courses scheduled for any given term. There is the opportunity to engage in work of a widely various kind, depending upon the initiative of the student and the facilities availahle. Also it is a part of the life here for people who are interested to get together, and, for example, to read plays or to conduct additional experiments in psychology, or to dance, or to experiment with printing at the college print shop, or to do research in Commuity. These things are 6 not provided in advance; when they happen it is because the individuals who are here create them. Classes are conducted in a variety of ways at Black Mountain College: by laboratory practice, by lecture, by discussion, by seminar, by tutorial, by connection with the operation of the place itself. Instructors differ widely in approach and personality. But it seems to be true that though materials and methods differ, there is a kind of common gain from the close and loving pursuit of different subjects. So the quality of study, rather than the number of COUNes, measures the development of taste, judgment, workmanlike habits of thinking and producing, dexterity, thoroughness, imagination, confidence.

Bill should write for details. * An increase of 15 per cent over the year ' 46-' 47, to meet increased costs; subject to change only if necessitated by further increase of costs. $ 5.00 $ 25.00 $ 25.00 $ 10.00 $ 10., 00 the balance $ 200.00 3/ 5 of balance Application fee Contingency deposit Examination for graduation Fee for late payment of any bill Community Council assessment, not to exceed On admission, to complete financial contract On entrance, September 17, 1947 Opening day of second semester, February 12, 1948 The application fee must accompany application for admission to the College and is not refundable. The Contingency Deposit is due on entrance, and must be maintained while a student is in attendance; but any unused portion of it is refunded upon graduation or withdrawal. Bills are payable on the date of the bill and if not paid within ten days are subject to the fee for late payment. The Community Council assessment, expended at the discretion of the Community Council in the general community interest, varies with needs, but in no case exceeds $ 10.00. As stated above, the inclusive fee of $ 1600 is intended to cover all of a student's expenses except those that are purely personal, and the following occasional items: Students who are unable to pay this fee are referred to the section below on financial assistance. It is the specific desire of the College that students otherwise qualified should not be excluded for financial reasons.' The College cannot guarantee that a place will be reserved for any student unless $ 200.00 has been deposited with the College at the time the regular Financial Agreement is signed. This Agreement, signed both by the student and by the person responsible for payment of fees, completes the admission and makes it effective. The deposit is not refundable except at Faculty direction if the student withdraws later. Black Mountain College charges one inclusive fee for tuition, room, meals, use of laboratories, studies, music and art lessons, lectures and concerts. This fee is $ 1600 for the regular academic year of two semesters.* It is intended to cover all of a student'os expenses except those that are purely personal, and certain occasional items lis1: ed below. It is payable as follows: 12 13 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Believing that a cross- section of American life, economically as well as geographically, contributes to the educational value of the College, and realizing that ability to pay the full fee is in no sense a criterion of the student's desirability, the College tries to make financial assistance available to qualified students who need it. Ideally, and in so far as possible practically, admission to the student body is made to depend upon personal merit. The Admissions Committee decides upon each applicant, in the first instance, quite independently of financial considerations. Unfortunately, lack of endowment and limited resources do not permit full expression of this principle, since a certain gross income must be maintained from student fees in order to meet the operating expenses of the College. Those who can are required to pay full fee. Others pay as large a share of the full fee as they can reasonably afford to, the deficiency being made up chiefly from gifts to the College. In order to arrive at a fair figure, those who cannot afford the full fee of $ 1600 are required to make an annual confidential statement of their financial resources on a blank furnished for the purpose by the College. On the basis of this statement the Student Fees Committee grants assistance up to a maximum amount of $ HOO; that is to say, under no circumstances should the prospective student expect that his net fee will be less than $ 500. There is no provision for students' working their way through College. No distinction of any kind is made between students on the basis of what they pay. All work done by students is voluntary and without reference to their financial status. OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION Each applicant, before his admission can become effective, must submit a satisfactory Financial Agreement, signed both by the student and by the person responsible for payment of fees, and accompanied by the regular deposit of $ 200.00. A new Agreement must be signed in advance each year that the student remains in the College. The College reserves the right to alter the fees from one year to the next in the light of changed circumstances. No student may enter or remain in residence while any financial arrangements for the current year are pending. For personal expenses students should have $ 30 to $ 45 per semester exclusive of transportation. There are available a few tuition scholarships whereby a limited number of students who cannot pay the minimum fee are enabled to attend the College for less. The College is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to students' property arising from any cause. 14 STUDENTS 1946- 1947 Adams, Henry B. Adamy, Edward N. Albright, Neil K. Amero, Richard W.
