furnishto college officials, to State. boards of education, and to teachers and students, lists of higherinstitutions in allparts of the country whicharerecognized, acceptid, approvedoracgredited bysome agency,local, sectional,ornational. Anoless important purposeis to show theprogresswhich is being made in themovement to standardize collegiate institutions. 1017 It should be empllasizedat the outset that the standards and lists contained in the bulletinarethose of State and voluntary educational agencies.The Bureau of Education merely bringsthem together ill bulletin form for the informationand help ofpersonswhomaylide ifiterffited in them.

PURPOSESAND PROCEDUREOF ACCREDITINGAGENCIES The listsrepresent fourtypes of procedure inaccrediting.State universitiesaregenerally underthe necessityof definingthe terms onwhichstudentscoming fromother collegiateinstitutions (asa rule frominstitutionsin thesameState) willbe received.Some State universitiesaccredit collegesfrom which undergraduaiestu- dents willbe acceptedontransfer;someaccredit collegeswhose graduates willbe admittedto the graduate schoolascandidates for ackanceddegrees; andsomeaccredit collegesonboth bases.Their sourcesof informationregardingaccredited institutionsarevarious. Moreor1esdefinite knowledgeof thestandards ofcolleges in the home Stateis commonlypossessed byState universityofficialsasthe result of visitsto these institutions and ofpast experience with students whohave beentransferred from th.em.WhereaState uni- versityaccredits institutionsin otherStates, it iscustomary to rely onthe ratingsgiven by theState Universitiesof those Statesorby sometrustworthybody.ti The listsof institutiOnsaccredited byState departmentsof education containchiefly thenames9f universities, cólleges,and*teacher- traininginstitutionswtosegraduatesareeligibleto receive certain kinds ofteachers' certificateswithoutexamination.

DIVISIoN OF THE BULLETIN

The present bulletin is dividedinto threeparts.Part I contains it statementof the standards for accreditingcolleges, junior colleges, and teacher-trilininginstitutions recommendedby the Afnerican CouncilonEducationtonational, regional, andSt4e agenciesen- gaged in defining and accreditinginstitutions of iligherlearning. It also) contains thestatements of standards employed 1)3- voluntary national and.regional associationsand lists of the institutionsrecog- nized, Accredited,Orapproved by these agencies.Since the publication of the lastbulletin,in 1922, the NorthwestAssociation of Secondary and Eigher Schools has adoptedthe standardsrecommended by the American CouncilonEducation and has issuedalist of members of the association whichmeet thestandards. Theasso- ciation's list has therefore been addedto this seelion of the bulletin. Three other associations, namely,the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the AmericanAssociation of Junior Colleges, and the American Associationof Teachers Colleges, have recently adopted standaeds for accrediting institutionsapplying for membership in these organization, butsofar they havenotTre- pared lists of instittitions which they accreditedasmeeting the standards.In order, however,tomake the informatin in the bulletin.as completeaspossible the standards of ttese associationshave been included. Part II contains lists of institutions accredited by(a)Stateuni- versities and (b) State adepartments of edtication.At theTead of each list the basis of approval is stated. WhereState universities and State departments of education havenoformal procedure for accrediting institutions and have preparednolists of approved institutions, these factsafementioned. 14 Part. III contains the standards and lists of accredited and classified colleges prepared byanumber of the church boards of education which have been active in this field of work.In most instances these lists have been prepared wit hasgreatcare ashas been exercised by other standardizing agencies.

AMIRICANCOUNCIL ON EDUCATION The followingarethe standards for accrediting colleges, juniór colleges, andteacher-traininginstitutions recommendedby the American CouncilonEducation to national, regional, and State agencies engaged in defining and accred.iting institutions of higher learning: Colleges (Approved by the council at its annual meeting In May, 1922) Definition.The term " college "as usedbelow is understood to&Agnate all institutions of higher education which grant nonprofessional bachelor's degrees.The committee recommends to the various regional and national standardizing agenciesasconstituting minimum requirements thTh.follovring principles and standards which should be observed in accrediting colleges: 1. Admission of students.A college shoulddemandfor admission the satisfactory completion ofafour-yearcourseinasecondary school approved by arecognized accreditingagency orthe equivalent of such,a course.The major portion of the secondary schootcourseaccepted for admission should be definitely correlated with the curriculumto which thestmientisadmittea. 2. Graduation requirernents.A college should require forgraduation the completion ofaminimum quantitative requirement of 120 semester hours of credit(or the equivalent interm hours, quarter hours, points, majors,or muses), with further scholasticquVtative requirements adapted by each institutionto its conditions. 3. Paculty.The size of the facultyshould bearadefinite relation to the type of institution,the numberAr students, and the number ofcoursesoffered.Foracollege ofapproMately100 students inasingle curriculum the facultyshould consist of at least eight heads ofdepartments devoting full timeto college work. With the growth of the studentbodythe/ 'number of full-timeteachers should be correspondingly increased.Thedevelopment of variedeurricula should involve the addltion of further headsof departments. The training of themembers of the faculty of professional rank should includeat least twoyearsof study in their respective fields of teachingin a recognized graduate school.It is desirable that the training of th6head ofa department should be equivalentto that required for the doctor's degree, or should representacorresponding professionalor technical training. A collegeshould be judged Inlarge part by the ratio which the numberof 5 ACCREDITED HIGHER INSTITUTIONS

i. personsof professorial rank with sound training, scholarlyachievement, and successful experience as teachers bears to the total numberof the teaching staff. a Teaching schedules. exceeding 16 hoursperweek per instructor, or classes (exclusive of lectures) ofmorethan 30 students, should be interpretedas endangering educational efficiency. 4. Income.The minimum annual operating income for anaccredited college, exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc., should be $50,000, of which not less than $25,000 should be derived from stable sources, other than students, preferably from permanent endowments.Increase in faculty, student body, andscopeof instruction should be accompanied by increase in incomefro-m endowment.The ilnancial status of each college should be judged in relation

to its educational program. a 5. Builtlings and equipment.The material equipment and upkeep of acollege, including its buildings, lands, laboratories, apparatus, and libraries, and their efficient operation in relation to its educational progress, should also be considered when judginganinstitution. A college should havealive, well-distributed, professionally administered library of at least 8,000 volumes, exclusive of public documents, bearing specifically upon the subjects tafight and withadefinite annual appropriation for the purchase ofnewbooks. 6. Prrparat(frry school.A college should not maintain a preparatory school aspart of its college organization.If suchaschool is maintained under the college charter it should be kept rigidly distinct and separate from the college in students, faculty, buildings, and discipline. 7. Educational Rtandards.--4 determining the standing of a college, e m ph a s is should be placeduponthe character of the curriculum, the efficiency of instruction, tha standard for regular degrees, the contlervatism in granting honorary degrees, the tone of the institution, and itssucce.ss in stimulating andpreparing students to do satisfactory work in recognizedgraduate,professional,or research institutions. 8. Inspectkni.No college should be accredited until it has been inspected and reporteduponbyanagetitoragents regularly appointed by the accrediting organization. Junior Colleges (Approved at 'lie annual meeting of thecouncil in May. 1924) Liefinition,The junior college is aninstitution of higher education which gives two years of workequivalent in prerequisites, scope, and thoroughness to the work done in thefirst two years of a college as defined elsewhere by the American Council onEducation.

1. Admissionofstudents.The requirement for admission should be thesatis- . 4 factorycompletion of a four-year course of studyinasecondary school approved by a recognizedaccreditingagency orthe equivalent of sucha course of study.

Teaching schedules exceeding 16 hoursperweekperinstructororclasses ¡exclusive of lectures) ofmore'than30 students should be interpretedas endangering educational efficiency. 5. Curricsaa.The curricula should provide both for breadth of studyand for concentration and should have justifiable relations to theresourcesof the institution.The number of departments and the size of the facultyshould be increased with the development of varied curricula and the growth of the student body. 6. Enrol intentNo junior college should be accredited unless it hasaregis- tration of not less than 50 students. 7. Inootne.The minimum annual operating income for thetwoyearsof junior college work should be $20,000, of which not less than $10,000should be derived from stablesourcesother than students, suchaspublic supportor permanent endowments.Increase infaculty, student body, andscopeof instruction should be accompanied by increase ofincome from such stable sources.The financial status of each junior college shouldbe judged In relation to its educationalprogram. 8.

Faouity.---Tbe- sizeof facultyshould bear adefinite relation to the pro- gramof the itstitution,the number of students,and the numberofcourses offered. With'thegrowth of the studentbody, thenumber of full-time teachers should be correspondinglyincreased. Membersof the teachingstaff in regular and permanent chargeof classes (exceptteachers ofspecial subjects in elementary schools,including music, drawing,and manual training, andassistants in the trainingschool) should have abachelor's degree from arecognized institution of highereducation and shouldhave had not lessthanone yearof graduate workinagraduate school, or specialtraining supplemented by experience,preferably of at least three years.The training of the head of adepartment shouldbe,(a)in a two-yearinstitution, that required for amaster's degree ; and(b), in an institutionoffering four-year curricula, the doctor's degree, orthe equivalent asrepresented ily a correspondingprofes- sional ort technicaltraiang.In all cases efficiency4f teachingaswellas the amountof graduate workshould be taken into account.A degree-giving institution should bejudged in large partby the ratio which the number of personsof professorialrank with sound training,sciiolarlyachievement, and successful experience as teachersbears to the total number of theteaching staff.(In administeringthis standard, accreditingagencies would not ordinarily expect to makeit retroactive.) A teachingscheduleexceeding 16 hours per week per\instructor, or classes, exclusive of those forlectures;of more than 30 students,should be interpreted asendangeringedicational efficiency. 5. Inoante.The minimumannual operating income for an accreditednormal schoolorteachers college,exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc., should be (a) for institutionsoffeting two-year curricula only not less than $25,000, and (b) for institutionsoffering three-year and four-year curricula not less than$50,000.At least one-half ofthis operating income should be derived from stable sourcesother than students' fees.Increase in faculty, student body,indscopeof instruction should beaccompanied by income from endowment.

(d) Sucha formulated curriculumor announcement of courses in education aswill duly emphasize the technicalcharacter of the preparation for teaching. The American CouncilonEducation isnotanaccreditingagency. Itspurposein defining standards forcolleges, junior colleges, and teacher-training institutionswasto bring aboutsofaraspossible, theuseof uniform standardsby the accrediting agencies alreadyin k the field. flowever,mention should be made of thecouncil's list of colleges and universities published in1920, 1922, and 1925, under thetitle " Accredited Higher Institutions."These listsweremadeupby bringing together the lists of the fourorfive outstanding agencies whichat the timeweremost active in the work of accroilditing colleges and univmities. Thusthe council's list for1925 includes the accredited lists of tfie Associationof American Universities, the North Central Associationof Colleges and Secondary Schools,the Associationof Colleges and Secondary Schools of theSouthern States, the Association of Colleges andSecondary Schools ofthe Middle States and Maryland,and the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools.Theseparate lists of these agencies immediately follow.

ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES The Association ofAmerican Universities published in theproceedings of its 26thannual conference, November 1, 1924, the fol- lowingstatement with reference to the approval of institutions for inclusion inits accepted list: Between the date of theoriginal approval by the Association of American UniversitiesIn1913 of the list of colleges accepted by the CarnegieFoundation for theAdvancement of Teaching and the adoption of thepresent statement of principles,the committee of the association has beengoverned ina general way by the principle that acceptability of institutions would bedetermined t. by their demoistratedability toprepare graduates for admission to standard graduate and professional schools with theexpectation that such students would ordinarilytakeadvaikteddegrees with the minimum amount ofpre- scribed workand in the minimum time prescribed, providedalways they made proper correlation of undergraduate work withgraduate work 11, ./

1,1 ! l';] -; lo ACCREDITED HIGHERINSTITUTIONS The committeeconsiders the performaneeof recent graduates ofinstitutions in the graduate andprofessional schools of the countryto be,fundamental in determiningwhether theinstitution should be includedin tbe approved list of the association.Howerer, the announcedstandards ofaninstitution and its possession offaculty, equiliment, and resourcesrequisite for giving instruction in accordanceWith such standitrds, as well as the wayin which its entrance requirementsand its reqUirementsfordegre-esareadministered, will certainly be taken into account. The committeerecognizes the advantage of a moredefinite statement of principles and standardsof its procedure. On theotherhand,itde:siret to avoid theimplication that it would at once approve anyinstitution which has barely 'come up to thepoint of meeting the minimum of thespecifications adopted by thecommittee.It might, for example, require the maintenance of an acceptable statusforaperiod of three or five years before full recognition would be accorded. The committee acceptsinageneralwaythe statement of principls and standards for accreditingcolleges of the American Council on Education (see pp.5-9), and will expectinstitutions.which apply for places on the accepted list to meet therequirements of this statement pointby pointas aminimum, with themodificatioiisincluded below. NOTZ.The modification of the statementof principles and standards referred to in the last paragraph above im anaddition to standard 4 of the principles and standards of the American Council onEducation.As modified by the association, standard 4 reads: "4. The minimum annual operatingincome foranaccredited college,exclusive ofpa3-me.nt of interest, annuities. etc., should be $50,000, (i1441.iichnot less than $25,000 should be derivedfrom stablesources,other thanshidents, preferablyfronipermanent endowments.Increase in faculty, student body, andscopeof instruction should be accompanied by increa4e in ineume from endowment.(Services of members of the faculty contributed throughper,- manent organizationsforthesupport ofeducation& programsmay becapital- ized in satisfaction. of the requirementforendowment, the estimate of the equivalent to be basedanpayments ordinarily made forsimilar services of instructors correspondingly trained, by institution4 inthesamesection and operating under similar mulitions.)The financial statusof each college should be judged in relation to its educational program."

A college shoùld demand for graduation the completion ofaminimum quantitative requirement of 120 semester' hours of credit (or the equivalentin term hours,quartf:r hours, pofhts, majors,orcourses), with further scholastic qualitaiiverequirements adapted by each institution to its conditions. 3.;Thesize of the faculty should bear á definite relation to thetype of institution, the number of students, and the number of courses.oftered.Foracol- lege of approximately 100 students inasingle'curriculumthefaètiltysh9uld eonsist of at least eight heads of departments devoting full timeto college work. With the gr(iwth of the student body the number of full-timeteachers should be correspondingly increased.The development of varied curricula should involve the addition of further heads of departments. es.
