I.—THE ACADEMICAL DEGREES

Are, first, that of Proficient in certain special departments
of a school; second, that of Graduate in a school; third,
that of Bachelor of Arts; and fourth, that of Master of
Arts of the University of Virginia.

The degree of Proficient, conferred in a certificate of proficiency,
applies only to those branches of some of the schools
which by the regulations the student is allowed to attend
separately. These are Geology and Mineralogy, Medical
Jurisprudence, Physiology, Political Economy, National
Law, Constitutional Law and Government, and Anglo-Saxon.

The degree of Graduate in a school embraces, in the school
of Ancient Languages, the Latin and Greek Languages; in
that of Modern Languages, any two of the languages taught
in the school, except Anglo-Saxon; in that of Mathematics,
all the studies of the school, except the Mixed Mathematics;
in that of Natural Philosophy the same, omitting Geology
and Mineralogy; in that of Moral Philosophy the same,
omitting Political Economy. The degree of Graduate is
also conferred in each of the languages separately, and in
the Mixed Mathematics.

None are admitted to these degrees who fail to give satis-
factory evidence of their attainments at the public examinations
and the examinations for graduation.
