REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY To the President of the University: SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the University Faculty for the year 1919-1920. During the academic year 1917-1918 the University's plant and curriculum were employed wholeheartedly in the service of the country engaged in war. In 1918-1919 the University's work was adjusted to the needs of students returned from service on the conclusion of peace. The past year has witnessed the happy restoration of our regular course of studies and normal activities. Many undergraduates who took up arms abandoned their University career after the signing of the armistice, and began at once a vocation; some of them because they felt that after the sacrifice of from one to two years they could no longer afford the time, others because they could not afford the expense, and others because they had lost the inclination, and still others because they could not "get down to study." Of those who returned to the University some are proceeding to the completion of the requirements for a degree, while others are fulfilling these requirements only in part and have become candidates for War Certificates instead of degrees. Thirty-nine undergraduates received this distinction on June 23 at the hands of the President. On March 12, 1920, the University Faculty voted to honor those undergraduates who had served in the World War and had completed a certain part of the curriculum, by enrolling them among the Alumni, and adopted the following form of certificate, in lieu of a diploma, to be awarded to students who, as a general condition, had been in residence two years at the University and had served two years in the armed forces of the United States or her Allies: "To whom these presents in honor of American citizenship may come, Cornell University records that of an undergraduate in good standing in the College of CORNELL UNIVERSITY in recognition of patriotic duty well discharged, awards to him all Date (Signature of the President.") |
