Barnard / Columbia

[calmom]

<p>I found text as to the original agreement between Barnard and Columbia setting forth the requirements of the degree.</p>

<p>

According to the agreement made January 19, 1900, between the Trustees of Columbia College in the City of New York and Barnard College … it is provided: </p>

<hr>

<p>**That the University will confer the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon the students of Barnard College who shall have satisfactorily fulfilled in Barnard College the requirements of the University Statutess for that degree. ** The courses in Barnard College leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall be determined and administered by its own Faculty, and all examinations for admission to Barnard College and in course shall be conducted under the authority of the Faculty of Barnard College. The diploma shall be signed by the President of the University and by the Dean of Barnard College. The degree of Bachelor of Arts conferred upon the graduates of Barnard College shall be maintained at all times as a degree of equal value with the degree of Bachelor of Arts conferred upon the graduates of Columbia College. The equivalency of the two degrees shall be maintained in such manner as the University Council may prescribe. </p>

<p>That, so long as this agreement is in force, Barnard College shall grant no degrees.
