Introduction This is a guidebook to be used by you throughout your entire career at The University of Iowa. It is prepared so you may know what the University is, what it offers you, and what your responsibilities are as a student. This handbook contains the answers to many questions that will arise during your experiences in the University. Study it and keep it handy. Much of the information is of general interest to you in your life both in the classroom and in extracurricular participation. Part of it contains rules of the University which each student is expected to know and follow. No one can give you an education . Some of the things in the University will interest you and be of more value to you than others. You must make the choice. Each student who comes to the University has something to contribute, and it is our hope that each who leaves will carry away something which will make his life better, more productive, and richer for his experience here. The University. Many people make up the University. To help you understand its organization, the handbook lists the Regents, who govern the institution and represent the people of the state, and the administrative officials of the total University and its ten colleges. The University of Iowa is almost as old as the state and is its largest institution of higher education. It is supported to a considerable degree by state tax revenues, and its students come in large part from Iowa, with a representation for every state in the Union and many foreign countries. When we speak of The University of Iowa we are talking essentially about people - students, faculty, administrators, alumni- but also about a place. This particular place is a campus of 1,300 acres and nearly 100 buildings, located in Iowa City. The Iowa River flows through the heart of the campus, picturesquely separating the health sciences, law and fine arts campuses, and the men's residence halls on the west from other units of the University east of the river - the Colleges of Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Dentistry and the Graduate College, the School of Journalism, Iowa Memorial Union the University Library, and the women's residence halls. The Old Capitol Building is truly the symbol and heart of The University of Iowa campus. It served as the first capitol of the State of Iowa and before that was headquarters for the Territory, beginning in 1840. This beautiful and historic building houses the University administration and is in continual use for lectures, meetings, and doctoral examinations. To twentieth century Iowa students, this nineteenth century structure adds a tangible link with the earliest days of a state whose pioneer lawmakers assumed, ad one of their earliest responsibilities, the founding of this University, 1
