The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so 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 the
different kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and the
formations in which they occur. The collections of fossils, plaster casts, maps,
etc., are exceptionally fine, and illustrate 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 ones, in good specimens. In
addition to the above, a beginning has been made of a collection to illustrate
the geology and mineralogy of the State of Virginia, and this is being increased
as rapidly as possible.

The Master's Degree.—A varying number of Romance group courses,
ranging from six to ten hours a week throughout the year, a final oral examination
tion, and a thesis are prescribed for the master's degree. A candidate of average
ability and good training may absolve the requisite number of courses within
one year after the baccalaureate degree. The final oral examination, however,
embraces questions asked and answered in two Romanic languages; and the
candidate whose collegiate work represents one Romanic language only will find
it difficult to acquire in one year the supplementary language and absolve other
requirements. Further, the thesis must incorporate the results (elementary, at
least) of original investigation on the part of the candidate; and unless he already
have at the outset, or find very quickly, a promising subject of investigation, nine
months will prove insufficient for the work.
The Doctorate.—A varying number of Romance group courses, ranging
from fifteen to twenty, distributed over a period of three years after the baccalaureate
degree, are prescribed for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
Romanic Languages. The final oral examination embraces questions asked and
answered in French, Spanish, and Italian. The scope and character of original
investigation presented by the candidate's dissertation must satisfy the Romanic
Faculty as a whole. To facilitate the acquisition of a speaking knowledge of the
third, or supplementary, Romanic language, candidates are granted the privilege
of optional attendance on any French, Spanish, or Italian course in the College.
