They are also interested in the costs of a college education. Many of these questions are answered in this bulletin. If, after reading the contents of this bulletin, a prospective student desires more information about the College, he should visit the campus, or write to Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington. WHITWORTH COLLEGE A GROWING INSTITUTION Whitworth College in the last few years has made marked advances along all lines. Additions have been made to the faculty and to the equipment of the college, so that now standard courses in liberal arts and sciences are offered, with full accreditation in other colleges and universities. The college is accredited with the State Board of Education and with the University of Washington. Good students have found no difficulty in transferring credits earned at Whitworth College to other institutions for undergraduate as well as graduate work. OPENING OF NEW COLLEGE YEAR The new college year 1932-33 opens September 13-14, 1932. The college year is divided into two semesters of eighteen weeks each. The second semester begins January 30, 1933. THE STUDENT GROUP The student enrollment is the largest in the history of the college. The college group 1931-32 is shown in the picture on the opposite pages. The student enrollment for this year exceeds 170. The average annual increase for the last three years has been better than 40 per cent a year. Students en- tering Whitworth are thoroughly prepared to do college work. Many of them are preparing for the various professions such as teaching, law, medi- cine, engineering, and the ministry. Some are planning to take only two years of work at Whitworth and then go on to the professional schools for technical training leading to life work. Others are planning to complete the full four-year course at Whitworth. A maximum total enrollment of 225 is being provided for, for this next year-200 at the opening of the new year, with a class of 25 at the mid-year in February. TEACHING STAFF The teaching staff at Whitworth College is made up of men and women thoroughly prepared in the best graduate schools of the country to teach the subjects of their departments. There are twenty-two instructors on the staff this semester, teaching more than sixty classes. The enrollment by departments is as follows: Biology 30, chemistry 26, Christian education and philosophy 53, classical languages 25, dramatic art and public speaking 129, education 45, English 107, history and political science 62, home arts 13, mathematics and physics 52, modern languages 40, music 97, secretarial science 5, social science 132. PRE-PROFESSIONAL COURSES AT WHITWORTH COLLEGE The courses are so arranged at Whitworth College that any young man or woman may get at least the first two years of his or her college training lead- ing to a chosen profession. This is true regardless of the vocation selected. Courses in Pre-Law, Pre-Medicine, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Engineering are espe- ciall y recommended. PRE·ENGINEERING COURSE As an example of the Pre-Professional work the Pre-Engineering course is given below: Students making a better than average grade in these subjects may be able to complete the engineering course in some of the best engineering schools with two years of additional work. It would take longer for others to complete the requirements for the engineering degree, depending upon their ability. Other schools will require three more years of engineering work for the degree, and some schools require that the full four years be spent with them.

Students who are in the lower one-fourth of the graduating class may be admitted on probation. Those not graduates of accredited high schools may gain admission for full freshman standing by passing the College Entrance Board examination.

Twelve additional credits from subjects accepted by an accredited high school are necessary. Not more than eight credits may be offered from voca- tional subjects. In addition. the student is expected to give two references who can speak as to character and worthiness. ADVANCED STUDENTS An increasing number of advanced students are making application for admission to Whitworth ColIege. Advanced standing is granted where the work has been done in accredited institutions and the character of the work justifies the credit. Careful attention is given that the student may be guided into fields of learning where the course will-build upon the work done in previous study and fit into the interests of the individual student. WHAT DOES IT COST TO GET A COLLEGE EDUCATION? The cost at Whitworth College is reduced to the minimum. For those who live in the Spokane area and can stay at home, the total cost for the year, actual college expenses, should not exceed $225. For those who board and room on the college campus, the total cost should not exceed $500. Why go away to college where it will cost several times the amount you would spend at Whitworth College? Do at least two years of your work in your own home community, thereby saving enough money to pay a whole year's expenses in a technical or finishing school. Phone Glenwood 04/7 or write the college office for information. Figures and facts will be gladly given.
