Synopsis
Excerpt from Of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Va: To the Remonstrance on Recent Changes in the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts
IV. The Faculty may, in their judgment, in lieu of any of these four schools make a combination of any four schools in the Academic Department, which shall be the full equivalent of any of the groups named above.
We consider that the degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia is the highest degree conferred in the United States on undergraduate students. Such it is acknowledged to be by all who are competent to form an opinion entitled to value.
Prof. J. H. Wright, of Harvard, in an article in the Lon don Classical Review for February 2, 1890, says: AS a rule the Master of Arts in the United States means little except that its holder has at some time received a B. A. Degree. At the better colleges the candidate is required to Show that he paid some attention to liberal studies for a year or two after receiving his B. A. Degree. At the Uni versity of Virginia, however, this degree has a singularly honorable position; the conditions on which it is bestowed are severe, and it stands for distinct and high attainments in scholarship.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This text is an open letter by faculty and alumni to the administration of the University of Virginia. The authors of the letter protest the decision to restructure the academic degrees awarded by the university, which included introducing an elective system of study. The authors argue that the restructuring will lower academic standards, render the university undergraduate degree less prestigious, and prioritize the interests of the few over the many. It includes statistical data about low graduation rates of the existing program and arguments from notable figures in the field of higher education. The letter emphasizes that the singular focus on cultivating specialists and technical scholars through the Masters degree had led to a decline in offering a sound and liberal education to the wider student body. The book should be of interest to scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the historical development of educational institutions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
