5 HISTORY AND PURPOSE THE N ew York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations was established in 1944 by act of the N ew York State Legislature. It is the first institution of its kind in the country. The School has three major functions: undergraduate and graduate instruction; extension; and research; and information. It began its first teaching term on November 5, The Legislative Committee which recommended the establishment of the School stated its purpose in the following terms: "One of the most im portant ways of improving industrial and labor relations is to bring together, in a common training program, representatives of both labor and industry. W hat is important here is not merely attendance at the same institution or in the same school, but rather mutual and cooperative analysis of the problems common to both groups. These representatives of industry and labor will later on meet around the council table as negotiators for their respective interests, often as spokesmen for alternative points of view or policies. If they have become acquainted w ith one another through a common training program, that in itself would be a valuable step toward mutual understanding and appreciation of differing attitudes. U nderstanding and good-will are engendered by the sharing of a common background of experience. A common background is one very specific contribution which such a school could make to the future stability of industrial and labor relations. The School is equipped to provide training for those who look forward to professional careers in industrial and labor relations. The first two years of the undergraduate course include the principal social sciences, English, and public speaking, together with introductory courses in economics, labor economics, and accounting. The last two years are devoted to an intensive study of the technical subjects essential to effective professional service in the field of industrial and labor relations in government, in industry, and in labor organizations. The graduate curriculum offers advanced training in industrial and labor relations. It is conducted through seminars and field research. Relevant courses in other divisions of the University are open to graduate students majoring in the areas of concentration offered by the School.

6 Many responsible leaders in government, industry, and labor have indicated to the School that there is a growing need for persons trained at the college and graduate levels in the principles and procedures applicable to effective labor-management relations. Although professional training of the kind offered by the School is developing in other institutions, its program is perhaps the most comprehensive and intensive available today. The location of the School at Cornell University, moreover, provides broad opportunities for study in related fields. Students, both undergraduate and graduate, will find many possibilities for further specialization in particular aspects of industrial and labor relations through the various course offerings available in the University. The increasing participation and interest of government in labormanagement relationships over the past fifteen years has opened many new careers in government service. Both industrial concerns and labor unions are, moreover, utilizing a larger number and range of specialists in various activities within their organizations. New careers of a specialized nature are continuously developing. Industrial Education is a rapidly expanding field both in vocational and technical schools and colleges and in industry. The School offers a broad program of graduate training in Industrial Education in close cooperation w ith the School of Education of Cornell and with the State Department of Education.

7 SELECTION OF STUDENTS B ECAUSE of limited housing and teaching facilities, the School s enrollment in September 1946 has been limited to 248 undergraduate and 12 graduate students. The inquiries and applications during the first year indicate that many more students will wish to enter than can possibly be admitted. Consequently, a careful individualized selection procedure is necessary. In selecting students, the School s Committee on Admissions will endeavor to secure geographic representation of all parts of N ew Y ork State. A limited number of students from other states and other nations will be admitted. The School will seek to maintain a balance in its student body of those interested in careers in government, labor, and management. Because of the housing situation for women at Cornell, for the time being, the School is obliged to limit the enrollment of women. The Committee on Admissions will select students in terms of the following criteria: 1) Academic preparation: Evidence of the satisfactory completion of the secondary school curriculum is required. Fifteen units of academic subject matter, including English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Language are recommended. Since the first two years of the curriculum are heavily weighted with the social sciences and demand heavy reading assignments, the applicant should be able to read rapidly and w ith understanding a wide variety of materials. In exceptional cases, mature applicants who have not completed high school may satisfy entrance requirements by submitting evidence of intellectual ability gained through individual study or work experience. Such students will be classified as special students until they demonstrate to the satisfaction of the School their ability to carry successfully the academic program of the School. 2) Personal Qualifications: Demonstrated ability to work cooperatively with other individuals and groups and for leadership in promoting these cooperative relationships will be given substantial weight by the Committee on A d missions. Representatives of the School will interview all applicants, either at Cornell or at designated centers in N ew York State. The interview, together with records of high school or other activities, which indicate qualities essential to effective professional service in industrial and labor relations, will be considered in the final selection of candidates.

8 3) W ork Experience: Evidence of work experience in government, labor, or management, either on a full-time or a part-tim e basis, is desirable. Students who have not had work experience will be required to spend their first summer in gainful employment. The School follows the admission procedure of Cornell University as described on pages of the General Inform ation bulletin of the U niversity. The official application blanks (listed below) can be obtained from the Director of Admissions, Cornell University. In addition, each applicant is required to submit a 500-word statement (preferably typewritten) indicating his background and interest in the field of industrial and labor relations. The required materials are: 1) Form A for students entering college for the first time, or Form A2 for students who have attended college. 2) Form B. Principal s report on character and personality. 3) Form C. Secondary school record to be supplemented w ith Regents reports, College Entrance Examination Board reports, etc. 4) Two recommendation forms. 5) Certificate of vaccination. 6) H ealth record. 7) Official transcripts from any other collegiate institution, which the applicant had attended. 8) 500-word statement of interest in industrial and labor relations. 9) Money order or check for $25 deposit on registration, which is returned if the candidate is not accepted. (Veterans need not submit this deposit.) The above materials, required of all applicants, must be in the hands of the Director of Admissions by the following dates: For spring term: December 1, For fall term: March 1, The Committee on Admissions of the School will begin the review of applications on the above dates and will as speedily as possible notify all persons of the decisions. TRANSFER FROM O TH ER IN STITU TIO N S The School will accept a limited number of students who have attended other collegiate institutions. Such transfers are, however, usually costly to the individual in terms of credit, since the program of the School is highly prescribed.

9 THE UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM THE following outline of the curriculum indicates its scope and specialization. Complete course descriptions can be found on pages It will be noted that the curriculum of the School is prescribed in great detail. There are, in fact, only 21 elective hours in the four-year program. Most of the courses of the first two years are offered by the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Space and staff limitations preclude immediate expansion in this field. SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES Since all regular students of the School spend their summers in work training, the full curriculum is not offered in the Summer Session of the University.. To place the facilities of the University at the disposal of those persons who have a part of the summer free for study, the Summer Session offers courses ranging from one to six weeks in length. Beginning with the summer of 1947, the School of Industrial and Labor Relations will offer a limited number of courses designed to meet the needs of persons in government, industrial, and labor organizations. Prospective students should apply to the Director of the Summer Session for the Announcement which will be available about February 1,

11 TH E U N D ERG RA D U A TE CURRICULUM 11 LIBRARY In spite of the acute problem presented by the depletion of publishers stocks during the war, satisfactory progress toward building up an adequate book collection in the field of industrial and labor relations has been made. At the same time, the organization of a current periodical, newspaper, and serials collection has been under way. Two im portant collections of noncurrent books and documents have been acquired and additional materials are being constantly added. It is expected that the collection at the School will eventually take its place as one of the most complete in the country. V ISITIN G LECTURERS The School regularly brings to the campus leaders who are engaged in industrial and labor relations in government, labor, and management groups. These men and women usually lecture to the student body and are available for informal discussions. In addition, the Mary Donlon Lectureship provides funds for outstanding speakers on workmen s compensation and related social security subjects.

12 WORK-TRAINING PROGRAM E VERY candidate for the undergraduate degree from the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations must have completed thirty weeks of work-training (or its equivalent) off the campus. These programs are designed to give the trainees first-hand experiences w ith the viewpoints, problems, and procedures in the conduct of industrial and labor relations. D uring the first summer (after the Freshman year) students, who have not had previous work experience in industry, will be expected to spend at least ten weeks in gainful employment in industry. This part o f the required work-training is being waived for all veterans. The student will be responsible for securing the job in industry or business, but the School will assist in every possible way. The gainful employment should preferably be in a factory or office. D uring the second and third summers, every student will be required to work for ten weeks each summer in a governmental organization, a labor union, or with management. The School, in cooperation with employers, will place the trainees on jobs during the last two summers. A trainee will usually be paid by the employer the standard wage for the job which he does. Students who have possible contacts with prospective employers can secure the permission of the School to work in a specific organization. However, students should confer with the office of the Director of Student Personnel before approaching any employer. D uring the summer of 1946, more than 100 students were engaged in work-training programs. A lthough most of the students were located in New York State, others worked in Colorado, Maine, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, and Alaska. Students were employed in federal and state governmental agencies, local and international union offices, and in industrial and commercial establishments.

13 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS STU D EN TS who complete successfully the prescribed curriculum, worktraining, and the Military Science and Physical Training requirements of the School will receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in industrial and labor relations. In order to maintain good standing in the School and to be eligible for graduation, the student must have an average of at least 70% in all subjects. The passing grade of the University is 60%. M ILITARY SCIENCE A N D TACTICS All able-bodied first-year and second-year male students, except veterans, who are American citizens and candidates for a baccalaureate degree, are required to complete two years of basic M ilitary Science and Tactics in the early terms of residence; otherwise, the student will not be permitted to register again in the University without the consent of the faculty. Students who have completed the Basic Course, or who have had one year of service with any of the armed forces, are eligible for enrollm ent in the advanced course. Six months of service with the armed forces credit students with one year Basic Course for Advanced R. O. T. C. requirements. NAVAL RESERVE OFFICERS TRA IN IN G CORPS A limited number of undergraduate male students are enrolled in the N. R. O. T. C. at Cornell. N. R. O. T. C. students in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations must fulfill all the requirements of the School, plus the 24 hours of required courses in Naval Science and Tactics. PHYSICAL TRA IN IN G All undergraduate students, except veterans, must complete four terms of work, three hours a week, in physical training. The requirement in physical training is a requirement of the first four terms and postponements are to be allowed only by consent of the Committee on M ilitary Science and Physical Training. Exemptions from the requirement may be made by the University Faculty Committee on Military Science and Physical Training when it is

14 recommended by the Medical Office or because of unusual conditions of age, residence, or outside responsibilities. Students who have been discharged from the armed forces may be exempted. For students entering with advanced standing, the number of terms of physical training required is to be reduced by the number of terms which the student satisfactorily completed (not necessarily including physical training) in a college of recognized standing.

15 EXPENSES T U IT IO N A N D FEES TU IT IO N is free to undergraduate students who, at the time of their admission, are, and, for at least 12 months prior thereto, have been bona, fide residents of the State of N ew York. All students pay University fees. Out-of-state regular students pay tuition of $150 a term or $300 for the academic year, plus University fees. Out-of-state students enrolled on a part-time basis pay a tuition fee of $15 a semester hour ($45 for a 3-credit course). University fees: First term Other terms Final term Matriculation......$13.00 Laboratory and Library $10.00 $10.00 Administration H ealth and Infirmary* Student Union* Physical Recreation* Graduation * F or'a statement of the privileges given in return for these fees, see the General Information bulletin. Tuition and other fees become due when the student registers. The University allows twenty days of grace after the last registration day of each term of the regular session. LIV IN G COSTS Living costs for men can not be stated w ith the same degree of certainty as regular University charges since they depend, to a degree, upon the individual s standard of living. The following estimates may be helpful to the individual in making his plans. These estimates do not include University fees, travel expense, clothes, incidentals, or amusement:

16 Room... Board... Laundry Books and supplies Per W eek $ Per Term o f 18 W eeks $ In planning for a normal academic year of two terms, the prospective student should double these figures. All women students (except those who receive special permission from the Counselor of Students) are required to live in University residential halls. The fixed charge for board, room, and laundry in women s residences is $665 for the regular academic year of two terms. There are limited housing facilities for married students in temporary University accommodations and in the city of Ithaca. N o student should, however, bring his fam ily to Ithaca until he has made definite housing arrangements.

17 SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID BOOKLET describing all the scholarships and loan funds of the University can be obtained from the Counselor of Students. There are opportunities for part-time work in University operations. In addition to the University resources, the School has the following scholarship funds. Inquiries should be directed to the Director of Student Personnel: Amalgamated Clothing W orkers Scholarship: Grants of $200 to $500 a year are made to needy and able undergraduate students. Daniel Alpern Memorial Scholarship: Grants of $100 to $500 a year are made to needy and able undergraduate students.

22 THE GRADUATE CURRICULUM * HE School offers the following areas of specialization at the graduate level: Collective Bargaining, M ediation, and A rbitration; Human Relations in Industry; Industrial and Labor Legislation and A dm inistration; Labor Union Organization and Management; Personnel M anagement; Social Security; and Industrial Education. Admission to graduate standing is determined by the Graduate School. In general, undergraduate specialization substantially equivalent to that offered by the School is a prerequisite for admission to the Graduate School. An applicant s work experience and other relevant activities will also be taken into account. Subject to the over-all limitation of the number of students which the School may admit, graduates of accredited institutions who are without the necessary undergraduate specialization may apply for admission as special students. If such students are admitted, a period of from one to three terms is usually required in order to fulfill requirements for admission to the Graduate School. The School offers an opportunity for candidacy for the degrees of Master of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations (M.S. in I.L.R.) and Ph.D. Students concentrating in the field of Industrial Education will, upon successful completion of the requirements for the M aster s Degree, receive a Master of Science in Education. Residence, language, and other requirements for each degree will be found in the Announcem ent of the Graduate School ( ) at pp. 9ff. and pp. 18 ff., respectively. In general, a minimum of two terms of residence for the M.S. and six terms of residence for the Ph.D. degree are required by the University. (For the Ph.D. degree, a maximum of two terms of work may be done in absentia). For the M.S. degree, four courses in each term, or their equivalent, in addition to the preparation of a thesis, will usually be required. Courses may be selected in other divisions of the University. A wide range of specialization within the field of industrial and labor relations is, therefore, possible. For the Ph.D. degree, field experience or internship may be included as part of the candidate s research program. Details as to courses, thesis, examination requirements, and other procedural matters, may be determined by the applicant upon admission to graduate standing in the School. *See also the A nnouncem ent of the G raduate School ( ) pp

27 TH E GRADUATE CURRICULUM 27 IN D U STRIA L ED U C A TIO N OR several years Cornell University has been offering a program of F graduate study in the field of industrial education. This program has been concerned with the preparation of teachers, supervisors, and administrators for the field of industrial education. Much of the work was aimed toward meeting the needs of persons engaged in the field of industrial education in the public schools of the State; some of it dealt with the problems of training in industrial organizations. In the spring of 1946, this program of graduate study in industrial education was transferred from its previous location in the College of Agriculture, and is now an integral part of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Students working in this field may undertake programs of study leading to the M aster of Science in Education degree, or the Doctor of Philosophy degree. The M.S. in Education degree is administered jointly by the Graduate School and the School of Education. In carrying forward this program, the work is planned jointly by the School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the School of Education. The requirements for the Master of Science in Education degree are somewhat different from those required for the Master of Science in industrial and labor relations. Details of these requirements will be found in the Announcement of the School of Education. The M.S. in Education degree requires two terms of residence or the equivalent in summer session attendance. U nder a recent ruling of the Graduate School, a student may complete up to 12 semester hours of approved graduate study offered in extension under certain conditions. As the program of graduate study in industrial education is concerned with meeting the needs of persons engaged in work in the public schools, the summer session and extension programs are important parts of this work. The courses in industrial education offered during the regular school year are open to qualified upperclass undergraduate students as well as those pursuing graduate work. Courses numbered in the hundreds are open only to graduate students. The offerings planned for are as follows: IN D U S T R IA L A N D T E C H N IC A L E D U C A T IO N IN T H E U N IT E D STATES (IL R ) 80. F all term. C redit tw o hours.

29 EXTENSION The extension program of the School is designed to offer courses in the field of industrial and labor relations to labor, management, government, and civic groups throughout the State. In addition, on-campus institutes are being planned to accommodate those persons who are not in a position, because of their responsibilities, to spend a long period of time away from their work. Members of the resident faculty and of the extension faculty will participate in the extension and institute program. Persons interested should address their inquiries to the Director of Extension, School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Correspondence courses are not being offered at the present time. RESEARCH AND INFORMATION The research program of the School covers not only matters of a current informational nature arising largely from specific inquiries on the part of government, labor, and management, but also embraces long-range projects. The research activities of the School s staff are coordinated through the office of the Research Director. Cooperation w ith public and non-public agencies in this field is planned. Moreover, through thorough planning of graduate theses topics, an integrated program of research is being developed cooperatively by the School and other divisions of the University. This activity, supplemented by coordination w ith the research programs of other universities, will prove helpful in the establishment of a comprehensive research program. A t a relatively early date, an inform ational bulletin and other similar media for the dissemination of research inform ation in industrial and labor relations will be published.
