The Academic Schools comprise the Schools of Languages, Literature,
Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Astronomy, History, Economics, Philosophy,
Education, Journalism, and Public Speaking. In the undergraduate courses
of these Schools is comprised the work of the College, leading to the degrees
of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science; in the graduate courses is
comprised the work of the Department of Graduate Studies, leading to the
degrees of Graduate in a School, Master of Arts, Master of Science, and
Doctor of Philosophy.

A full statement of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts
and Bachelor of Science will be found under the College (pages 153-158); of
the requirements for the other academic degrees, under the Department of
Graduate Studies (pages 161-162).

Designation of Courses.—In the detailed account given in the following
pages of the courses offered in the Academic Schools, courses which have
no credit value toward a degree are designated by numbers alone. All
other courses are designated by letters, which have the following signification:

A: a course for undergraduates, with a credit value toward a baccalaureate
degree of three session-hours, to which students who enter with
advanced standing are entitled, under the conditions set forth on page 150.

B: a course for undergraduates, with a credit value toward a baccalaureate
degree of three session-hours, except in the case of courses in the
natural sciences, which, unless otherwise stated, have a credit-value of six
session-hours, each.

C: a course for undergraduates and graduates.

D: a course for graduates.

A term-course is a short course covering only one of the three terms
into which the academic year is divided. Such a course has credit value as
part of an elective-at-large, but not as part of a group-elective.

The Leander McCormick Observatory is situated upon Mount Jefferson,
which furnishes an unobstructed horizon. The principal building is a rotunda
forty-five feet in diameter, which contains the great Clark refractor
of twenty-six inches aperture. The instrument and building are the gift of
the late Leander J. McCormick, Esq., of Chicago. The telescope is fitted
with micrometer, photometer, and a plate-holder for stellar photography.
The computing rooms adjoining contain clocks, chronograph, machines for
measuring astronomical photographs and spectrograms, and an excellent
working library. In a smaller building are a three-inch transit and a six-inch
equatorial.

The members of the Visiting Committee of the Leander McCormick
Observatory are:

  • THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY.

  • THE RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY.

  • MR. ROBERT H. MC CORMICK, JR.

The Purpose of the School of Education.—In the rapid development of
educational science and the resulting attention given to the improvement of
the several phases of public education, it is important that all who are interested
in the growth of this great agency of democracy, generally or professionally,
be given ample opportunity to study its underlying principles,


131

Page 131
organization and most practical applications. Those who aim to teach or
to administer public-school affairs require instruction and training in the
scientific principles and in the technique of their calling. The study of
the principles, ways and means of formal education is incumbent on all
citizens who earnestly seek an intelligent and conscientious balloting on
public school affairs. For these reasons the courses in the School of
Education aim to supply the needs of the two classes of citizens referred to.

Besides those courses which, as contributing toward a liberal education,
may be advantageously included in programs of study leading to the cultural
academic degrees (see pp. 156-157), the School of Education offers a
wide range of courses for the professional training of teachers and public
school administrators. One curriculum is offered leading to the degree of
B.S. in Education (see p. 158), and one curriculum leading to a teacher's
certificate only.

1. Students receiving the B.S. in Education will receive the Professional
Collegiate Certificate issued by the Department of Public Instruction of
Virginia.

2. A student who cannot complete the requirements for the B.S. in
Education, or who must delay the completion of them, may elect the following
two-year course which leads to a Teacher's Certificate issued by the
Department of Public Instruction of Virginia. This work may later be
credited toward the B.S. in Education. The course, comprising 30 session-hours,
embraces the following requirements:

(a) From the School of Education: Education B2, B3, B6, and B7 or
B8. Total: 12 session-hours.

(b) From the other Academic Schools: One modern language course
from Group I, and one course each from Groups II, III, IV and V. Total:
18 session-hours.

Courses for Teachers in Service.—Saturday courses in any subject
offered in the school of Education will be arranged for teachers in service,
if requested by at least five teachers. Degree credit will be allowed on the
same basis as in regular courses, provided that not more than one and one-half
session-hours of credit shall be given for the work in any course for
one year.

Recommendation of Teachers.—The recommendation of teachers is in
charge of the Bureau of Appointments, through which positions are secured,
not only for students in the School of Education, but for other students
who are known to be fitted to fill vacancies reported. In response to requests
from the proper authorities, teachers are recommended for positions
as instructors in colleges and normal schools, as superintendents, as supervisors
in special subjects, as principals or department teachers in high
schools, and as principals of elementary schools. The demand for teachers
has been greater than the supply. Correspondence in regard to this matter
may be addressed to the Bureau of Appointments, University, Virginia.

as to exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same time offers
a large variety of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens
show all the different kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character
and the formation in which they occur; the collection of fossils,
plaster casts, maps, etc., is exceptionally fine, and fully illustrates historical
geology. In mineralogy the principles of the science are made plain by
well-chosen suits of specimens, models of crystals, etc. The general collection
of minerals contains all the important species, and many of the rarer

Latin D1: Latin C1 or C2 prerequisite.—This course extends through
three years and is intended for those who desire to specialize for one, two or
three years in classical philology. It contemplates especially the needs of those
who choose Latin as their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If
the candidate's major be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required,
since the language, literature, and life of the Romans are saturated with Greek
influence. If the candidate's major be Romanic, the technical Greek requirement
is waived as far as practically possible, and he is guided into the history of
the Roman popular vernacular, the common source of the Romanic tongues, and
into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the Vulgar Latin in literature.

For the sake of first-hand access to important modern authorities in Latin


143

Page 143
philology, the candidate is required to have a good reading knowledge of German
and French.

It is the aim of this course to prepare the candidate to investigate independently
the sources of our knowledge of the language, monuments (literary
and objective), and life of the Romans. The following is, therefore,
an outline of the course: I. In Language: Elements of comparative
grammar; introduction to Latin historical grammar; systematic grammar;
reading of epigraphic and literary monuments illustrating the history of the
Latin Language. II. In the Literary and Objective Monuments of the Romans:
Reading of authors in groups systematically planned to illustrate the literary life
of the Romans; history and interpretation of texts; elements of palaeography,
epigraphy, numismatics, topography and remains. III. In Roman Life: Constructive
study of Roman culture-history; reading of authors illustrating the
development of Roman civilization; study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history.—Friday,
Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh.

For summer-school courses in Latin on which college credit is allowed,
see p. 238.
