ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

Required for Admission to the Department.—A candidate for admission
to the Department of Graduate Studies must have a baccalaureate
degree from a recognized institution of collegiate rank; or, in case the
institution he attended does not confer such a degree, he must present a
certificate of graduation in a course of study accepted by the Academic
Faculty as fully equivalent to that ordinarily required for the degree in
question.

Required for Admission as Applicant for a Degree.—In order to be
recognized as an applicant for a Master's or Doctor's degree, any candidate
who has not received a baccalaureate degree from this university must
secure from the Registrar of the University a blank form, which, when
properly filled out, he must file with the Dean of this department, together
with a catalogue of the institution from which he graduated. If that
institution has (1) a faculty of at least six professors giving their full
time to college or university work, (2) entrance requirements equal to
those of this university, and (3) a course of four full years in the liberal
arts and sciences, the candidate will not be required to take any undergraduate
courses except such as the Committee on Rules and Courses or
the professors in charge of the graduate courses he elects may consider
necessary for the successful prosecution of those courses. If, however, the
institution in question does not meet the three conditions mentioned above,
the candidate's preparation will be carefully considered by the Committee
on Rules and Courses, which will prescribe such undergraduate courses as
are deemed necessary to supply his deficiencies.

REGULATIONS.

Grade.—The grade of a student in any course, either for a term or
for the session, is determined by his class standing and his examination
grade, combined in such proportion as the professor in charge of the
course in question may decide.

Grade Required for Passing.—For passing in any course a grade of
seventy-five per cent is required.

Grade Required for Reöxamination.—A student whose grade for the
session in any course falls below seventy-five per cent, but not below sixty-five
per cent, may, upon the written recommendation of the professor in
charge, be admitted to reöxamination upon that course, or upon such portion
of it as the professor shall determine, during the registration week


8

Page 8
of the following September. The fee for each reöxamination is five dollars,
and must be paid to the Bursar on or before July fifteenth.

An applicant for a degree in any given session, whose grade for that
session in not more than one of his courses falls below seventy-five per cent,
but not below sixty-five per cent, is entitled to be reöxamined before Final
Day upon that course or upon such portion of it as the professor shall
determine. In such cases no reöxamination fee is charged.

Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused
absence is counted as a total failure.

Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, is entitled to a special examination on a date to be arranged
between himself and the professor in charge.

Change of Schools can be made only with the consent of the Dean
and of the professors concerned.

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES.

Graduate in a School.

Any student who successfully completes all the courses offered in any
academic School is entitled to a diploma of graduation in that School.

The Master's Degrees.

A candidate who has received a baccalaureate degree from this university,
or who has fulfilled the conditions above specified under Entrance
Requirements, is entitled to a Master's degree upon his successful completion
of four graduate courses, chosen in accordance with the restrictions
detailed below.

No C course may be counted for a Master's degree unless preceded by
a B course or courses in the same subject aggregating at least six session-hours;
or, in case only one three-session-hour course is offered in that
subject, by one B course in that subject and a second B course in the same
Group, chosen with the approval of the professor in charge of the C course
in question.

No C course which a candidate has offered as part of the work credited
for a baccalaureate degree may be counted for a Master's degree.

A candidate must take at least two graduate courses during the last
year of his work for a Master's degree, and no candidate may receive this
degree until at least one year after he has received his baccalaureate
degree, except by special consent of the Academic Faculty.


9

Page 9

The degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts
who has successfully completed four graduate courses, chosen with the
approval of the Academic Faculty. These four courses must be in at least
three distinct subjects, and in three different academic Schools, except by
special order of the Academic Faculty. Three of the subjects must be
cognate, which means that they must be selected from kindred groups of
subjects, such as, for example, languages and literature, or mathematics
and natural science, or history, economics, and philosophy, or philosophy,
education, and biology.

The degree of Master of Science is conferred upon a holder of the
cultural degree of Bachelor of Science, who has successfully completed
four graduate courses chosen in accordance with the regulations prescribed
for the Master of Arts above.

The degree of Master of Science in a Special Subject, the name of
which is inscribed on the diploma, is conferred upon a holder of the vocational
degree of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, who has successfully
completed four graduate courses selected from among those offered
in his special subject, or from among other courses which meet with the
approval of the professor or professors in charge of his special subject.

Doctor of Philosophy.

A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must hold the
degree of Bachelor of Arts or the cultural degree of Bachelor of Science of
this university, or, if he be a graduate of some other institution, he must
have fulfilled the conditions above specified under Entrance Requirements.
The requirements for the degree are as follows:

(1) A reading knowledge of French and German, attested by the successful
completion of the B courses in these languages, or else by examinations
held at the beginning of the first year of the candidate's work for
the doctorate, by committees consisting of the professor in charge of the
candidate's major subject and the professors of French and German, respectively.
If the candidate fails on one or both of these examinations, he will
be required to enter the appropriate course in one or both of these languages.
No student will be regarded as a regular candidate for the doctorate
until he has fulfilled this requirement.

(2) The successful completion of at least three years of graduate
work in three subjects, to be known, respectively, as the candidate's major,
primary minor and secondary minor. These subjects must be cognate, and
must be chosen, with the approval of the Committee on Rules and Courses,
from at least three academic Schools. The major must be pursued for at
least three years, the primary minor for at least two years, and the
secondary minor for at least one year.


10

Page 10

No C course may be counted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
unless preceded by a B course or courses in the same subject aggregating
at least six session-hours; or, in case only one three-session-hour course
is offered in that subject, by one B course in that subject and a second
B course in the same Group, chosen with the approval of the professor in
charge of the C course in question.

Any student taking a D course in any subject may be required by
the professor, with the approval of the Academic Faculty, to attend such
lectures or courses in any of the academic Schools as the professor may
deem necessary.

Graduate work done in other universities may be accepted in lieu
of resident work, provided sufficient evidence is furnished by examination,
written or oral, or both, that such work has been of a grade similar to
that required here, and has been satisfactorily performed, and provided
also that the candidate takes in this university at least one graduate
course in his primary minor, and does at least one year's resident work
in his major subject.

A candidate who is a professor in a chartered college or university,
of the subject selected by him as major, may be allowed by the Academic
Faculty to spend only two years in resident work. In all cases the work
of the last year of candidacy shall be done in residence, unless the Academic
Faculty shall for special reasons direct otherwise.

(3) A dissertation exhibiting independent research in some branch
of the candidate's major subject. The dissertation must be submitted to
the Academic Faculty not later than April fifteenth of the year in which
the candidate applies for the degree. Moreover, the copy presented for the
Faculty's approval shall be written (typewritten, if feasible) on paper
of prescribed quality and size, shall be bound, and shall have certain prescribed
phrases on the cover and title page. If the dissertation is
accepted by the Faculty as satisfactory, the copy submitted shall immediately
become the property of the University. Before the degree is conferred
the dissertation must be printed at the candidate's expense, and one
hundred copies deposited in the library of the University; or, if this be
impracticable on account of lack of time, the candidate must deposit with
the Bursar a sum of money sufficient to have a hundred copies of the
dissertation printed.

EXPENSES.

The figures in the following table may be taken as fairly accurate
approximations of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling expenses,
or pocket money. Three estimates are given,—a low, an average,
and a liberal, estimate. The difference in the three depends on the difference


11

Page 11
of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and laundry,—in other words,
on the scale of living of the individual student. By sharing a room with
another student, and by practising the strictest economy, a student's expenses
may possibly be reduced below the low estimate.

Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who are granted the
privilege of non-residence during a portion of their candidacy, under the
conditions above stated, are required to register each year during such
period of non-residence, and to pay the annual university fee ($10 for
Virginians, $40 for students from other States).

MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.

Associate Professor Kepner.

Dr. Maneval.

Mr. Taliaferro.

The biological sciences are studied both from a morphological and from
a physiological standpoint. Prominence is given to the histology, and as
far as possible to the cytology and life-histories of the organisms studied,
especially in the advanced courses in each of the two principal sciences,
with a view to the elucidation of the great fundamental laws that underlie
the phenomena of life. The work of the School is designed to meet the
needs of students who desire such knowledge of either Botany or Zoölogy
(or both), and of the methods of biological study, as may properly form
a part of a liberal education; or of those who desire such training as will
fit them for independent work as students or as teachers of either of these
sciences, or for other vocational work therein; and also of those who seek
such acquaintance with the facts and the underlying principles of the biological
sciences as will prepare them for entrance upon the study of Medicine,
or for an intelligent study of the relations of these sciences to the
art of Agriculture.

Each student who enters upon the work of any of the courses described
below is required to provide himself with a small case of dissecting instruments,
a hand lens, a drawing pencil, and a notebook of approved pattern.
Other necessary pieces of apparatus will be issued to each student.

Any course offered in the School of Biology may be withdrawn if not
elected by at least four students.

III. Biology and Agriculture.

Associate Professor Kepner.

Dr. Maneval.

Mr. Taliaferro.

The relations of the biological sciences to Agriculture are so manifold
and the subdivisions of the latter subject so numerous, that it would be
impossible to exhaust the discussion of either in the work of any one year.
Courses consisting in part of lectures and in part of an equivalent amount
of practical work and collateral reading, will be offered yearly as follows:

Botany and Agriculture B1: Botany B1 prerequisite.—The anatomy
and physiology of the higher plants, especially as related to nutrition and
growth; the principles of crop-raising as based on the laws of plant life.
Associate Professor Kepner.

Zoölogy and Agriculture B2: Zoölogy B1 prerequisite.—The parasitic
protozoa, worms, and arthropods; the insects will be considered in
their economic relations, and the anatomy of the domestic animals examined.

For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Analytical Chemistry C1: Quantitative Analysis: Analytical Chemistry
B1 prerequisite.
—The work of this course is also given in three lessons
a week throughout the session, each being followed by four hours or
more of practical laboratory work. After some training in manipulation
and gravimetric estimations, the class pursues volumetric estimations and
a full course in Quantitative Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and
steel, technical products, and so on. Weekly written exercises are required.
As the student advances in the course he is encouraged to undertake original
research and assist in its prosecution; and in determining his fitness
for graduation, work of this kind is considered as having much weight.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 10-11. Laboratory hours by appointment.
The laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during all the
working hours of the day. Analytical Laboratory. Professor Dunnington,
Mr. Brown.

Industrial Chemistry C1: Chemistry B1 or Analytical Chemistry B1
prerequisite.
—The work of this course is given in three lectures a week
throughout the session. A detailed study is made of the chemical principles
and processes of the more important manufacturing industries, upon which,
in large measure, depend the development of the natural resources of the
country.

Among the more important subjects discussed are: the metallurgy
and uses of the principal metals and alloys, and thermit, the manufacture
of acids, alkalies, salts, explosives, glass, pottery and fertilizers: the preparation
and preservation of food, including bread, meat, sugar, etc.; the
chemical arts relating to clothing, such as bleaching, dyeing and tanning;
the chemistry of arts concerning building, including the manufacture of
brick, lime and cement; the production of artificial lights and heating;
disinfectants, soap, paper, etc.

A clear comprehension of all lines of industrial manufacture is the
aim proposed in this course, a preparation needed by students who expect
to enter upon any branch of such work. Since these lectures are designed
to give some accurate information about materials with which every one
is concerned in daily life, it is judged that they will afford a valuable addition
to a general education.

The subjects specially related to Agriculture are treated of in different
portions of this course. There is a weekly quiz and weekly written exercises
are required. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3-4:30; Tuesday, 12-1. Analytical

For Graduates.

Latin D1: Latin C1 or C2, or the equivalent of either, 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
elective for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Roman civilization is
the vital link between the Hellenic and the Romanic, and hence Latin
philology, which is the science of Roman civilization, has vital points of
contact with Greek philology on the one hand and with Romanic on the
other. If the candidate's major elective 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
elective 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.

Plan of Work.—It is the aim of this course, as far as the teaching
force and resources of the School permit, 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 (Giles, supplemented
by Hirt and Sommer on Sounds and Inflections and by Brugmann
and Schmalz on Syntax)—introduction to Latin historical grammar
(Lindsay, supplemented by Landgraf)—systematic grammar (Kühner)
with stylistic exercises, oral and written, in conjunction with Cicero's De
Oratore
—reading of epigraphic and literary monuments illustrating the
history of the Latin Language.


30

Page 30

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
palæography (Johnston, supplemented by Thompson), epigraphy (Lindsay,
supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat), numismatics (Gnecchi, supplemented
by Hill), topography and remains (Platner, Petersen, Huelsen,
Mau. Strack, Furtwængler).

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 (Philippson, Nissen,
Mommsen, Marquardt-Mommsen, Wissowa, Preller-Jordan, Springer-Michaelis
and Winter, Schanz, Windelband, Sandys).

Friday, Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor FitzHugh, Adjunct
Professor McLemore.

Aids.—For the sake of first-hand access to important modern authorities
in Latin philology, the candidate is urged to acquire a good reading
knowledge of German, French, and Italian. Such a mastery of German
and French is imperative.

classic methods of integration are compared with those which flow from
the Theory of Continuous Groups. A similar method is adopted in the
study of the Linear Partial Differential Equation of the First Order. As
far as the time admits, the theories of integration of the Complete System,
as well as those of the General Partial Differential Equation of the
First and Second Orders, will be discussed. Hours by appointment. Professor
Page.

[Only one of the Courses D1 and D2 will be offered in 1915-1916.]

Philosophy D2.—(Open to students who have taken or are taking
Philosophy C1.) The Critical Philosophy of Kant. The greater part of
the year will be devoted to the careful study of the Critique of Pure
Reason and the Critique of Practical Reason. Collateral reading of standard
commentaries and of selected recent literature on the subject will be
required. Special attention will be given to Kant's relation to previous
philosophical systems, to the development of his own philosophy, and to
the interrelation of his three Critiques. Reading of texts, lectures, discussions,
and reports. Professor Lefevre, Adjunct Professor Balz.

Further advanced work in Philosophy, including the critical study of
recent tendencies, will be arranged in accordance with the needs of individual
students.

SCHOOL OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY

Associate Professor Hoxton.

Adjunct Professor Sparrow.

Mr. Trummell.

Mr. Macdonald.

A laboratory fee of five dollars is charged for each course in this
School.

For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Physics C1: General Physics, Selected Topics: Physics B1, and
Mathematics A1 or A2, or the equivalent, prerequisite.
—The work in the
classroom emphasizes the general principles of dynamics and their application
to physical problems, special attention being given to the properties
of matter and thermodynamics. The laboratory work develops the basic
principles of accurate measurement. Laboratory work six hours per week.
Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory. Adjunct Professor
Sparrow.

Physics C2: Electricity and Optics: Physics B1, with the addition
of either Physics C1, Mathematics B2, or B3, or the equivalent, prerequisite.
—Electricity
is given during the first half-year, Optics during the second.
The elements of the classical mathematical theory and outlines of

important modern conceptions are given in the lectures. In the laboratory,
especial attention is paid to methods of measurement and studies of important
phenomena and principles. Laboratory work, four to six hours
per week. Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory. Associate
Professor Hoxton.

For Graduates.

The courses of this grade vary from year to year, ranging over the
more important fields of Physics in a cycle of about three years. The list
given below includes courses which have recently been given and those
which are offered for the coming session.

The formal preparation necessary for these courses varies somewhat
with the nature of the subjects treated. What is necessary is a certain
maturity of mind with reference to the subject. The student who has not
had training in Mathematics equivalent to Mathematics C1 will probably
be unable to follow with profit any D course dealing with the mathematical
side of Physics, while the student who has not had the equivalent of the
corresponding C course in Physics will be unable to pursue a D course dealing
with the experimental side.

Physics D1: Electromagnetic Theory: The mathematical theory of
substantially the same content as Maxwell's Treatise. Adjunct Professor
Sparrow. Given in 1914-1915.

Physics D2: Advanced Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory of Gases:
The mathematical theory and an account of the state of experimental knowledge
of the subject. Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Associate Professor Hoxton. Offered for 1915-1916.

Physics D3: Dynamics: A general course in Dynamics, including
Hydrodynamics and the Theory of Elasticity. Adjunct Professor Sparrow.
Given in 1913-1914.

Physics D4: Conduction of Electricity through Gases, Radioactivity:
Chiefly the experimental side of the subject. Associate Professor Hoxton,
Adjunct Professor Sparrow. Given in 1914-1915.

Physics D5: Theory of Electrons, Electromagnetic Theory of Light:
The mathematical theory and an account of the state of experimental
knowledge of the subject. Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Adjunct Professor Sparrow. Offered for 1915-1916.

Journal Meeting: The Faculty and advanced students in Physics and
Astronomy meet once a week for the presentation and discussion of current
research. The students as well as the professors take an active part in the
presentation of these reports.

The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, specially
designed for and devoted to the work in Physics. The building throughout
is characterized by structural stability. The rooms are abundantly lighted,
while some may be darkened at will. There is a general distribution of
water over the building, while all the rooms are supplied with steam heat,
gas, and electricity.

The equipment includes an exceptionally rich set of demonstration
apparatus, and a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory instruction.
In addition to this there is a special line of electrical and optical
instruments, a 21½-foot concave grating with Rowland mounting, photographic
dark room, liquid air plant, and storage battery, and a machine
shop for the repair and construction of physical instruments. For advanced
work in some lines the facilities offered are excellent.
