Hi tory of George Ma on Univer ity

George Mason University is the outgrowth of an extension center for higher education established in orthern Virgin ia in 194 by the University of Virginia . In 1956 the University's Boa rd of Visitors authorized the establishment of a co-educational two-year branch college to supplement extension offerings in orthern Vi rginia. This branch opened in September, 1957, in temporary quart ers at Bailey's Cros roads . It had 17 students and was called The niversity College . The City of Fairfax purchased ISO acres for a permanent branch campus and donated it to the University of Virginia in 1959. Ea rly the following year, th e branch was named for the Virgi nia statesman, George Mason , and was given the status of a conununity college of the University. The first four buildings opened September, I 964. In March , 1966 the General Assembly authorized George Mason to become a four-year degree-granting institution and gave it the long-range rna nd a te to expand into a university of major proportions. Consequently , th e first senior cia s received degrees in June, 1968. Graduate programs began in September 1970, and the first graduate degrees were conferred June, 197 I. In an attempt to meet the State's long-range mandate, the College Board of Control , supported by the citizens of Alexandria , Falls Church, Arlington and Fairfax County , worked to acquire 422 additional ac res. Thus by July , 1970, the size of the campus had reached 572 acres. In January , 1972, the George Mason University Foundation, Inc . acquired the fonner Fairfax High Sch ool property on Route 50 in Fairfax City and this facility is now known as the orth Campus of the University . The Master Plan fo r George Mason University , approved in 196 , provides for an enrollment of IS ,000 by I 985 . The University will be divided into six semi-autonomous colleges each with about 2,500 students. Each college will have a particular academic emphasis and will contain classrooms, dormitories and a student center. Certain facilities, such as the library , research laboratories, administrative and athletic centers will be shared by all colleges. In February , I 972, the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia recommended to the Governor of the Conunonwealth of Virginia that George Mason College of the University of Virginia be separated from its parent institution. The enabling legislation was passed by the General Assembly , signed by the Governor, and on April 7, 1972, the former branch of the University of Virginia became an independent institution under the name of George Mason University . Today George Mason University is planning for its future role as a major center of learning in Northern Virginia.

FACILITIES

THE CAMPUS. Although located just minutes away from the bustle of urban metropolitan Washington , George Mason University's 572-acre campus retains much of the peaceful beauty of the Virgi nia countryside. Nine buildings now dot the campus , located just south of the Fairfax City limits. The University's first four buildings, opened in 1964, are linked by covered walkways and are grouped around a landscaped quadrangle. In the last eight years several more new buildings have been added as the institution continues to expand and develop into a regional university in the Northern Virginia area. Those buildings include the first phase of the Charles Rogers Fenwick Library, a striking piece of architecture; a Lecture Hall , the Arts and Sciences Building, a Physica l Education Building, and a Biological Greenhouse . A Student Union is presently under construction, and current plans call for the University's first residence hall to be ready for occupancy by September, 1974. The development of the Universi ty from 1964 to the presen t essentially represents the completion of Coll ege ! (the College of Arts and Sciences). As George Maso n grows , it will develop a series of six cluster colleges- each college with a distinctive group of instructional, social , and residential buildings. According to the present Master Plan, each college will be expected to serve about 2,500 students. Planning is already under way for the first building of College II (College of Professional Studies), a large addition to the library , and the expansion of the Student Union. These buildings should be ready for use by early 1975. In the development of George Mason's campus, careful attention has been paid to the preservation of as much of th e natural beauty of the area as possible- particularly the many wooded areas of the Campus. Parking areas are located on the perimeters of the campus, and traffic on campus will be held to a minimum. Buildings will be grouped mainly in the center of campus and will be connected by walks and surrounded by groves of trees and park-like recreational areas. In late January 1972, the George Mason niversity Foundation, Inc . signed an agreement with the City of Fairfax to purchase the former Fairfax High School building and some 16 acres of school property . The University is presently leasi ng the building from the Foundation, and the high school property has become known as the University's orth Campus. orth Campus is presen tly serving as the temporary home of College II , the College of Professional Studies.

LIBRARY . The Charles Rogers Fenwick Library is si tuated at the southeastern side of the prese nt complex of campus buildings. The bu ilding, co mpleted in late 1967 , is the first increment of a larger complex planned to provide library services for a rapidly expanding institution. In keeping with it role a the appropriate focus for the dominant intellectual and cu ltural interests of the University , the

http://catalog.gmu.edu Graduate Catalog 1972-1973 George Mason

University GEORGE MASO U IVERSITY building is of classically simple design. At present it is equipped to seat approximately 300 people and house approximately 70 ,000 volumes. Although books are usually selected to support the curricula of the University , other materials of enduring value and general interest are also acquired. The present collection includes over 70,000 books, 8 000 bound periodicals , 100 ,000 microfom1 units, and more than 5,000 pamphlets and maps. Approximately I ,300 current periodicals are received . The library is also a selective depository for publications of the United States Government. The Unjversity library has become increasingly the laboratory in which much of the student's work is done- instead of a single volume, the whole library is now ills textbook. Independent research projects are encouraged as well as critical or creative work in the expectation that all students will learn to use primary sources. To further widen acquaintance with books, the library at George Mason University utilizes an open-shelf arrangement wruch permits direct access to nearly all of the books in the collection and encourages browsing or study. Loan arrangements with other State institutions of rugher education and special libraries make it possible to draw on the many existing resources located in the State. The vast resources of the nearby Library of Congress are open to students interested in specialized fields . Inter-library loans are made from the many libraries in the Wasrungton area. The resources of Virginia's academic and special libraries, as well as other collections in the United States, are available for rapid loans via teletype service. The library is open ninety hours per week.

STUDENT LIFE

LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS. A ftle of housing available in the vicinity of the University for students interested in accommodations is majntained by the University, but the University has no housing facilities of its own at present.

Applications and brochures are available in the Office of the Dean of Students.

PLACEME T SERVICE. For the benefit of the students, the University maintains a job placement office. The Pl acement Office assists

\ 2

http://catalog.gmu.edu Graduate Catalog 1972-1973 George Mason

University CAMPUS AND FACILITIES students in finding full-time employment upon graduation, and assists alumni on a continuing basis. The career placement program emphasizes personal counseling, the use of occupational information, and participation in recruitment programs and career days. In addition this office helps students to find part-time and summer work. A student may also establish a permanent credentials flle which can be made available to prospective employers. Information concerning part-time, temporary and summer jobs is available to students through listings posted on a bulletin board , and through consultation with an employment counselor.

UN IVERS ITY COUNSELl G CENTER. The Center provides specialized psychological services in educational-vocational testing and counseling, and in personal adjustment counsel.ing. These services aid the student in exploring his interests, personal.ity, and achievement level and assist him in making the most of hls opportunities for academic and personal development. The Center is staffed by a professionally trained psychologist. There is no charge for Center services.

HONO R SYSTEM. Until 1972 George Mason University was part of the University of Virginia. As such, the Honor System takes its begin nings back to 1842. As originally formulated in 1842, the Honor System at the University applied only to final written examinations. Through its more than a century of continuous use, the pledge has been extended to all academic work submitted for credit statements made to the faculty, and other declarations of good faith or intent. Considered reprehensible under the System are lying, cheating and stealing. George Mason University established its Honor System on May 14 , 1962. It is recognized and approved as an integral part of the University . The essence of the Code is that a student's word as a member of the University can be accepted without question as truth and that any violation of a student's word is an offense against the Honor Code. All students in the University have the duty as participating members of this comnmnity to report to a member of the Honor Committee any violations of the Honor Code. This duty is of importance not only because it enforces the Honor Code, but also because it gives each student the opportunity to express his respect for personal integrity and an honest academic community. The Honor Committee is to be a group of students elected from the student body whose primary and indispensable duty shall be to instill the concepts and spirit of the Honor Code within the student body. The econdary function of this group shall be to sit as a hearing committee on all alleged violations of the Code. Entering students will participate in an orientation given by the Honor Committee. A statement of willingness to comply with the Honor System is included in the application form for admission to George Mason University. The student body of George Mason University values its unique right and responsibility of self-government and academic honor.

CAMPUS MI ISTRY ASSOCIATION . The Campus Ministry Association is an ecumenical group of clergy and concerned laymen of Judaeo-Christian orientation whose objective is to provide opportunities for service as well as religious, educational and social activities for the University community. It is presently sponsored by the Christian (Disciples), Christian Science, Episcopal , Lutheran , Presbyterian , Roman Catholic and United Methodist Churches. Others are cordially invited to participate. The Association draws on the resources of United Ministries to Higher Education and the Council of Churches of Greater Washington. Chaplains are on campus daily for discussion and counseling with all members of the University community. A counseling and seminar room is available in the East building.

REGULATIO S

CO DUCT. George Mason University is a community of scholars in which the ideals of fre edom of inquiry freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of the individual are sustained . It is committed to preserving the exercise of any right guaranteed to individuals by the Constitution. However, the exercise and preservation of these freedoms and rights require a respect for the rights of all in the community to enjoy them to the same extent. Actions which deprive others of the opportunity to be heard, involve take overs of buildings that materially and substantially disrupt the educational process, incarceration of or assaults on persons, destruction of property and rifling of fLies , are incompatible with the nature and function of educational institutions. A student enrolling in the University assumes an obligation to conduct himself in a manner compatible with the University's function as an educational institution. To fulfLII its functions of imparting and gaining knowledge, the Code of Virginia (Section 23-9 :2) confers upon the University the responsibility for maintaining order with the University and the right to exclude those who are disruptive of the educational process. Further amplification of the Standards of Conduct will be found in the Student Handbook.

MOTOR VEHICLES. Students who use the University parking area must register their car(s) with the University Security Office. Such registration includes proof of insurance coverage, valid operator's license and vehicle state reg.istration card. Each vehicle must display on the left rear bumper the decal obtained for $ 1.00 from the Security Office at time of registration. If more than one car in a family is to be used by the student, each car must be registered . Decals for the second and subsequent cars are furnished without charge. A copy of campus parking rules is available in the Security Office .

FIREARMS. The unauthorized possession, storage, display, or use by students of any kind of ammunition, firearms , fireworks, explosives, air

http://catalog.gmu.edu Graduate Catalog 1972-1973 George Mason

University CAMPUS AND FACILITIES rifles, air pistols or other lethal instruments is prohibited on University property. Any questions regarding this regulation should be directed to the Campus Security Office.

SOLICITORS AND SALESME . Solicitors and salesmen, except on official business with the University , are not permitted on the campus without permission of the Business Office.

NO -ACADEMIC EVE TS A D PUBLICATIO S. Organizations or groups of students wishing to use University facilities for non-academic matters must obtain approval of the Dean of Students. Each request must indicate the name of the organization, the type of event for which the facility is intended and be registered in advance with the Office of the Dean of Students. George Mason University students may publish and/or disseminate publications on campus which are not funded by the Publications Board, if such are not in violation with State or local ordinances. Students should exercise this option responsibly . The University assumes no responsibility for the contents of the material published and/or disseminated. Distribution of publications on campus does not signify that the University necessarily approves or supports the contents of the publications.

CHANGE OF STATUS A D ADDRESS. Each student is required to notify the Recorder of any change of home address, telephone number, change of the name or address of parent or guardian, or change of legal name. When a student's legal name is changed, the Recorder's Office reserves the right to require a certified copy of documents authorizing such change. Such documents will be kept in the student's permanent ftle.

MASTER OF SC I ENCE (BIOLOGY)

The prime objective of the biology graduate program is to offer to qualified students advanced knowledge of recent developments in biology. Initially, the courses are designed to appeal to two types of persons: I . Established biology teachers or other professionals who are interested in furthering their careers. For them, the central theme will be the biology of man and his environment. 2. Research-oriented students who expect to seek first employment on the strength of the Master of Science degree, or who hope to proceed to the Doctor of Philosophy degree at another institution. For these students, the areas of speciality will include systematics, physiology and genetics. Through the use of seminars and independent investigation, greater emphasis will be placed upon original thought and familiarization with current literature than in the undergraduate program. Therefore, students enrolled in upper division undergraduate courses for graduate credit will be expected to cover the work in greater depth than their undergraduate colleagues. A candidate may gain up to eight hours of credit in relevant approved courses in the Department of Mathematics, or in one of the physical sciences, but only with the permission of the department chairmen concerned.
