The Academic Schools comprise the Schools of Languages, Mathematics,
Sciences, History, Economics, Literature, Philosophy, and Education.
In the undergraduate courses of these schools is comprised the
work of the College with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor
of Science; in the graduate courses is comprised the work of the Department
of Graduate Studies, with the degrees of Graduate in a School,
Master of Arts, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The professors
and instructors in the Academic Schools compose the Academic
Faculty, which deals with questions concerning the work both of the
College and of the Department of Graduate Studies.
A full statement of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts and Bachelor of Science will be found under the head of the College;
of the requirements for the other academic degrees, under the Department
of Graduate Studies. In the detailed account of the courses and
equipment of the academic schools, given in the following pages, the
order of the courses in the particular school, and the relation of each
course to the academic degrees of the university, is indicated as follows:
The numeral placed after each course indicates the order of the
course in the particular school; the letter placed after the numeral
indicates the value of the course as a part of the work required for an
academic degree, viz.:
A: the first-year course in a school, in which more than one year's
work is required, if the school in question is elected as one of the subjects
for the B. A. or for the B. S. degree.
B: a course that has full value only as an elective for the B. A. or
for the B. S. degree.
Term Course: A short course of three hours a week for one of the
three terms into which the academic year is divided. Such courses have
a credit value of one-third of a full course, offered as an elective-at-large
for the B. A. or for the B. S. degree, but will not be counted as any
part of a group elective.
C: a graduate course of full value, either as an elective-at-large
for the B. A. degree, for the B. S. degree, for the M. A. degree, or as
a secondary minor for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
D: all graduate courses having full value for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy, either as primary minor or major courses for that degree.
The Academic Schools are here arranged according to the grouping
of subjects for the B. A. and B. S. degrees.
SCHOOL OF LATIN.
Professor Fitz-Hugh.
Mr. McLemore.
Mr. Bishop.
Mr. Cowardin.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The four units
prescribed on page 69 for admission to Latin 1A.
Preparation.—The Latin work of the university finds its logical
place in the public school system as the continuation of the Latin work
of the High School. It presupposes accordingly four years of competent
instruction in Latin, with daily recitations of at least forty minutes
each, and it implies the use of the Roman pronunciation, the habitual
observance of quantity and accent, regular drill in grammar and prose
composition through all preparatory years, elementary reading (Viri
Romæ), Nepos (the Roman Lives), Cæsar's Gallic War, Cicero's easier
Orations, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Vergil's Æneid. If the preparation
of the student justifies it, he will be admitted to advanced standing, with
due credit for all work done elsewhere by him.
Attention is specially invited to the importance of beginning Greek
and at least one Romanic language for all who wish to reap the full
cultural benefit of the university courses in Latin. The Greek illumines
incomparably all parts of Latin study, which bears in turn a like relation
to the Romanic.
General Statement.—The first five courses in Latin are devoted to the
broad cultural study of the language, literature, and life of the Romans.
The culture we enjoy to-day has its source in the culture of the Greeks and
Romans. Greece is the fountain head of civilization, and Rome its universalizer
and transmitter to the modern world: thus Greek culture is
the ultimate, Roman the immediate source of all modern culture. In the
course of the instruction, therefore, the effort is made to exhibit as far
as possible the relation of Roman civilization to the Greek, on the one
hand, and to the Romanic and modern, on the other, and thus to emphasize
the unity and continuity of all human culture. Hence the importance
of the study of Greek and of at least one Romanic language is specially
commended to the student of Latin.
The work is organized in all years as follows:
I. In Language: Systematic study of Latin grammar, with oral
and written exercises in prose composition. One hour a week.II. In Literature: Reading of authors in culture-historical series.
Two hours a week.III. In Life: Systematic study of Roman culture-history in English,
hand in hand with the study of the Latin authors.
Students may enter any of the courses in Latin at the beginning
of any term of the session, and will receive full credit for the course
on completing subsequently the work of the remaining term or terms of
the course in question.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12-1. Cabell Hall. Professor FitzHugh,

Primarily for Graduates.
Course 6D: Course 4C or Course 5C 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 the 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.
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 (Johnson, supplemented by Thompson), epigraphy (Lindsay,
supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat), numismatics (Gnecchi, supplemented
by Hill), topography and remains (Platner, Peterson, Huelson, 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, Preller-Jordon, Springer-Michaelis and
Winter, Schanz, Windelband).
Friday, Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh.
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.
SCHOOL OF GREEK.

for those who choose Greek as their major elective for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy. For admission to these courses, proficiency in
Courses 2A and 3B, or equivalent preparation, is required. The course
4C may be taken as the first year Ph. D. course. At present the additional
work consists of four special courses, each comprising three hours
per week during a half session. The lectures will be employed chiefly
in directing the private study of the students.
The four special courses offered at present are as follows:
I. A course of selected readings extending over the whole field of
Greek literature in the order of historical development. This course is
intended as a general survey.
II. A course in Attic Prose, especially the orators, directed partly
to questions of grammar, and partly to the artistic form and style.
III. A study of the Attic drama, including the special study in class
of the Œdipus Tyrannus of Sophocles and the Frogs of Aristophanes.
IV. A study of the Greek poets, with special reference to music,
rhythm, meter, and structure. The ancient doctrine of meter and rhythm
will be carefully examined, and portions of the Lyric poets, including
Pindar, read in class.
For all the classes of this School private reading is prescribed, and
the examinations will be partly upon this and the work done in class, and
partly upon passages selected from the Greek authors at will.
Text-Books.—Goodwin's Greek Grammar; Goodwin's Moods and Tenses;
Veitch's Verbs; Liddell and Scott's Lexicon (intermediate, and in Course 4C
and above, unabridged edition); Morey's History of Greece; Wright's Greek

these examinations will be given a certificate of proficiency in the work
required in Course 1A or 2A. Advanced standing on the work of Course
1A or 2A will be granted a student entering from a secondary school only
after he has passed here the prescribed examination on the course in
question.
Course 3B: Course 1A prerequisite.
The class devotes three months to Analytical Geometry and six
months to the Differential and Integral Calculus.
In Analytical Geometry, the Cartesian method of representing a
function by points, lines, and surfaces is considered, and a special study
of the conic sections is made. In three dimensions, as far as the time
permits, the straight line, the plane and the conicoids are introduced
and discussed.
In the Calculus a careful study of the functions of one variable is
made, and is followed by the study of functions of two and three variables
as far as the time allows.
In this class both the educational and the practical value of the
topics considered, as well as their importance with regard to all further
work in mathematics, are clearly brought to view. Constant drill at the
board and frequent examination and repetition of principles are insisted
on. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12-1. Cabell Hall. Professor Echols.

Professor Dunnington.
Mr. Woodson.
Mr. Dinwiddie.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
The regular work of this school, constituting a complete course in
Practical Chemistry, is divided into three courses, as follows:
For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: Qualitative Analysis: This course consists of three
lessons a week throughout the session, after each of which the students
spend three or four hours in practical experiments in the Laboratory.
A course in Chemical manipulation is first given, then Blowpipe
Analysis, recognition of Ores, Fire Assaying of Ores of Lead, Gold, and
Silver, and a systematic course in Inorganic Qualitative Analysis,
followed by practice in analysis of salts, alloys, and ores, the examination
of potable water, coal, limestone, clay, and so on, including some
simpler quantitative determinations. Weekly written exercises are required.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 10-11. Laboratory hours by appointment.
Analytical Laboratory. Professor Dunnington, Mr. Woodson, Mr. Dinwiddie.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Course 2C: Quantitative Analysis: Course 1B is 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. Analytical
Laboratory. Professor Dunnington, Mr. Woodson, Mr. Dinwiddie.
The Laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during all
the working hours of the day.
Students may register either for the first course, or for both courses
at the same time; candidates for the M. A. elective are required to
complete both courses. Those who accomplish this are prepared for work
as Analytical Chemists, Assayers, Druggists, or Teachers of Chemistry.
Among the works recommended to laboratory students are: Fresenius' Qualitative
and Quantitative Analysis, A. I. Cohn; J. H. Long's Qualitative Analysis
(3d ed.); Greville William's Hand-book of Chemical Manipulation; Woehler's
Examples for Practice in Chemical Analysis; and Assaying Notes of the
Professor.
Course 3C: Industrial Chemistry.—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
of the principal METALS, the manufacture of acids, alkalies, salts, 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; soap, paper, etc.
A clear comprehension of all lines of Industrial manufacture is the
aim proposed in this course, and this is 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 in different
portions of this course. There is a weekly quiz and occasional written
exercises are required. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3-4. Analytical
Laboratory. Professor Dunnington.
Text-Books.—F. H. Thorp's Outlines of Industrial Chemistry; Huntington
& McMillan's Metals, their Properties and Treatment. Recommended for reference:

of Applied Chemistry: W. E. Roberts-Austen's Introduction to the Study of
Metallurgy: Sadtler's Hand-Book of Industrial Organic Chemistry, etc.
The collections of the University in illustration of the processes and
products of Industrial Chemistry have been procured at much expense
and pains in this country, England, France, and Germany, and are unusually
extensive and good; among the best on this side of the Atlantic.
Students who accomplish the work of classes 1B, 2C and 3C, together
with chemistry 1B, 2B and 3C, are prepared for entering upon work in
these several lines of industry.
Primarily for Graduates.
Course 4D: Advanced Analytical Chemistry.—This graduate course
is designed for those seeking the degree of Ph. D., and also for such
students as desire to increase the range of their experience as analysts,
and to cultivate their powers of original investigation.
It is required for those who enter this course that they shall have
previously completed courses 1B, 2C and 3C in this School and Courses
1B, 2B and 3C in the School of Chemistry, or that they shall have
previously made equivalent attainments elsewhere.
Laboratory work will be conducted daily, and suggestions and due
assistance will be given in its prosecution.
While the work is adapted to the special aims or tastes of each
student, it will in all cases comprise some practice in the more elaborate
processes of analysis, ultimate and proximate organic analysis, some
study in analytical methods and some original problems, also the reading
and the summarizing of extracts from current journals, and, for all
who are seeking the degree of Ph. D., a dissertation embodying the results
of some original research.
The Analytical Laboratory is a building planned and erected for the
purpose. It is warmed throughout by hot water, completely fitted with
the most approved appliances, and stocked with apparatus, models, materials,
and specimens. The main working room is furnished with worktables,
gas, water, and all proper fixtures; smaller rooms are devoted to
weighing, evaporations, assaying, etc.
MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
The biological sciences are here studied chiefly from a morphological
rather than from a physiological standpoint. Prominence is given to
the histology, and as far as possible to the cytology and to the life-histories
(both ontogenetic and phylogenetic) of the organisms studied,
with a view to the elucidation of the great fundamental laws that underlie
in the phenomena of life. The work of the school is designed to meet
the wants 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 in
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 either 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 note-book of
approved pattern. Other necessary pieces of apparatus will be issued
to each student. There is a laboratory fee for materials consumed in
connection with the work of each of the courses. Any student with adequate
preparation may enter either of the undergraduate courses in
Biology at the beginning of any term of the session, and will receive full
credit for such course on completing the work of the remaining term or
terms of the course in question, in the following session.
I. Botany.
Professor Tuttle.
For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: Botany.—In this course a study is first made of the
essential factors of plant structure; this is followed by a brief survey
of the vegetable kingdom, beginning with the algae and ending with the
seed-plants. As each group is discussed in the lectures, as many representative
members as practicable will be studied in the laboratory, including
where possible the important phases of the life-history. The principles
of classification will be considered and illustrated, and as far as
possible applied in connection with the forms studied.
The first term of this course deals largely with the forms of plant life
that are of importance in the management of water supplies, and is
arranged with a view to the needs of students in Sanitary Engineering.
The class is limited for the present to thirty members. Lectures, Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 12-1. Laboratory, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 9-11.
Cabell Hall.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Three courses are offered in Plant Morphology, one of which will
be given each session; each course comprises two lectures and two laboratory
periods of three hours each weekly; participation in the weekly biological
if not elected by at least four students. Lectures on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 1 to 2 p. m.; laboratory periods, Wednesdays and Fridays
from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. Botany 1B or Zoölogy 1B is prerequisite for entrance

of the Fission-Plants: the Green Algae (in the limited sense), the Confervales,
and Charales: the Bacillariales, Brown Algae, and Dictyoltales:
the Red Algae: the various orders of the Fungi, and the Lichens. The
Green Algae will be studied in greatest detail, on account of their morphological
importance as exhibiting a varied and instructive differentiation
of forms from unicellular plants to colonial, coenocytic, and thalloid
plant-bodies; and as the group to which the higher plants are most nearly
allied.
Course 3C: Archegoniates.—The work of this course will comprise
the study of the Liverworts: the Mosses: and the Fern-like Plants. By
far the larger portion of the course will be occupied with the latter, the
anatomy and morphology of the various orders being discussed and studied
at length, together with their relations to the acquisition of the seed-habit.
Course 4C: Spermophytes.—The study of the Seed-Plants will comprise
a discussion and examination of the anatomy, both physiological and
morphological, of the various orders of Gymnosperms and of the two great
divisions of the Angiosperms: and a study of representatives, as far as
possible, of each of the great orders of the latter group: in addition, a few
representative families will be discussed and studied in detail.
II. Zoölogy.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: Zoölogy.—An introductory course in the morphology and
classification of both invertebrates and vertebrates. The course will be
so conducted as to afford to the student a general survey of the animal
kingdom, and to emphasize the principles involved in the formation of
cel-organs, tissues, and complex organs in the various types of animal
bodies. The class is limited for the present to thirty members. Lectures,
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12-1. Laboratory, Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 9-11. Cabell Hall.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Three courses are offered in Animal Morphology, one of which will
be given each session: each course comprises two lectures and two laboratory
periods of three hours each weekly: participation in the weekly
biological seminar is also required. The course for the year may be
and Wednesday from 1 to 2 p. m. Laboratory periods, Tuesday and
Thursday from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. Botany 1B or Zoölogy 1B is prerequisite
for either of these courses. The courses offered are as follows:
Course 2C: The Lower Invertebrates.—In this course a detailed study
will be made of animals representing various classes and orders of Protozoa,
Coelenterata, Platyhelmia, Nemertini, Nematelminthes, Trochelminthes
and Molluscoida, involving their comparative anatomy, their embryology,
and their affinities. Students will be required to collect the
available material of the vicinity for class work; to make a collection of
histological preparations; and to report at regular intervals upon the
progress of their work.
Course 3C: The Higher Invertebrates.—A similar detailed study,
under similar requirements, of animals, representing various classes and
orders of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Annulata and Arthropoda.
Course 4C: The Vertebrates.—A detailed anatomical and histological
study of animals representing various classes, sub-classes, and orders of
the Chordata. The physiology of the organs of the Chordata will be discussed.
Vertebrate embryology as represented by that of the frog and the
bird will be briefly studied. Students will be required to make collections
of local material for class-room work and to make histological preparations
representing the fundamental tissues of representatives of the group.
III. General Biology.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
For Undergraduates.
Term Course in the Principles of Biology.—A course is here offered
which is intended to afford a brief survey of some of the most significant
facts concerning organization, function, and relations of living things:
an insight into the methods of biological study: and as full discussion as
possible of the important fundamental principles deduced from such study
and the important philosophical questions arising therefrom. One lecture
and one laboratory exercise each week throughout the session. This course
may be withdrawn if not elected by at least four students. Hours by
appointment. This course will have a credit value of one-third.
Primarily for Graduates.
Course 5D: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Botany 1B,
Zoölogy 1B, and one of the advanced courses in Plant or Animal Morphology
prerequisite. This course begins with a study of the phenomena of
cell-organization and cell life in both plants and animals: this is followed
by a comparative study of the elements of structure and their embryological
of plant forms: the work of each student is individually assigned in great
measure. It includes practice in the more advanced methods of technic,
and a critical discussion of the microscope and its intelligent use, as means
to the ends in view. It is accompanied by the consideration of the fundamental
laws of General Biology as founded upon cytological study. Hours
by assignment: the number is not limited.
Opportunity will be afforded to individual students for further advanced
work chiefly along the lines of this course.
A biological seminar will be conducted weekly at an hour that will be
assigned at the beginning of the session, participation in which is required
of all students in courses above Botany 1B and Zoölogy 1B.
IV. Biology and Agriculture.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
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:
1B Botany and Agriculture: Botany 1B prerequisite.—In this course
a study will be made of the anatomy and physiology of the higher
plants, especially as related to nutrition and growth; and of the
principles of crop raising as based on the laws of plant life. Professor
Tuttle.

GEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Review and discussion of the more important current geological
literature, and the preparation of papers on special subjects based on
field and library investigations. All instructors and advanced students
in geology are expected to take part in the discussions at these meetings.
Time to be arranged.
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 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 ones, in good specimens. Zoölogy is well illustrated by a fine
and large collection of mounted skeletons, stuffed animals, dried specimens,
plaster casts, etc. In Botany the collections contain charts, papier-maché
models of flowers and fruits, sections of wood, etc.: the bulk of
the collection is in the form of an herbarium, selected from the most important
and interesting botanical regions of the world. 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.
These large and carefully selected collections of geological and mineralogical
objects afford unsurpassed facilities for the full illustration of
the principles taught. As free access to these collections is allowed the
student, he can find in their study an opportunity, rarely obtained, for
gaining a practical acquaintance with natural objects acquired from
various parts of the world, and chosen for their typical character. These
collections are especially useful to students pursuing advanced work in
Geology and Mineralogy.
THE VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The Virginia Geological Survey was established by an act of the
Legislature in March, 1908. Professor Watson was elected, by the State
Geological Commission, State Geologist and Director of the Survey, with
instructions to carry out the provisions of the act. Work is carried on
under his direction and is concerned with a study of the geology and
physical features of the State of Virginia. The varied geology of Virginia
and its diversified resources afford a most attractive field to the
investigator.

All undergraduate students are regarded as members of the college.
Full opportunity has in the past been, and will in the future be, given
to any student to carry out any definite plan of work which he may
have in view on coming to the university, or which may have been prescribed
for him by those under whose direction he is completing his
education. Every student is, however, expected to come to the university
for a definite purpose: and when no well considered plan as above
indicated, has been outlined in advance, and the end in view is that for
which the great majority of students enter college, namely, the attainment
of a liberal education, the student in question will be expected to enter
upon the regular work of the college which leads to the degree of Bachelor
of Arts, or to that of Bachelor of Science.
Special Students.—Applicants for registration who are more than
twenty years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective
courses, must present adequate proofs of good character and of the needful
maturity and training. Such applicants may then be registered by the
Dean of the University as Special Students, and will be admitted without
formal examination to the privileges of the university, but not as candidates
for any titled degree. Such students must in all cases meet the specific
entrance requirements as prescribed for the courses elected by them.
The Group System for Election.
The requirements for each of the baccalaureate cultural degrees,
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, are such as to permit of the
large measure of freedom of election on the part of the individual student
which has characterized the work of the university from the beginning:
such restriction only being placed upon this liberty as is necessary to
insure at the same time the thoroughness and the breadth of culture for
which these degrees stand. In order to secure to the recipient of either
degree in due measure an acquaintance with the methods of study and
of thought characteristic of each of the leading departments of knowledge,
as well as with their subject matter, as far as possible, his courses must
be chosen,—subject to certain restrictions and exceptions detailed below,—
from the following groups of subjects:
GROUP I: LANGUAGES.
Latin: Latin 1A, and Latin 2B or 3B.
Greek: Greek 2A and Greek 3B.
French: French 2B.
German: German 2B.
Spanish: Spanish 2B.
GROUP II: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES.
Mathematics: Mathematics 1A, and Mathematics 2B.
Mechanics: Mathematics 1A, and Mechanics 1B.
Astronomy: Mathematics 1A, and Astronomy 1B.
GROUP III: NATURAL SCIENCES.
Chemistry: Chemistry 1B.
Physics: Physics 1B.
Biology: Botany 1B or Zoölogy 1B.
Geology: Geology 1B or
Economic Geology: Economic Geology 1B.
GROUP IV: SOCIAL SCIENCES.
History: History 1B.
Economics: Economics 1B.
GROUP V: ENGLISH.
English Literature: English Literature 1A, and English
Literature 2B or 3B.English Language: English Literature 1A, and English
Language 1B.English: English Literature 1A, and English 1B.
Biblical History and Literature: English Literature 1A,
and Biblical History and Literature 1B or 2B.Public Speakings 1B (only as elective-at-large).
GROUP VI: PHILOSOPHICAL SCIENCES.
Philosophy: Philosophy 1B (Logic).
Philosophy: Philosophy 2B (Ethics).
Philosophy: Philosophy 3B (Psychology).
Education: Education 1B or 2B.
Detailed information with regard to the A and B courses enumerated
above will be found on pp. 116-155. In each course the instructor meets
the class at least three times a week, for a period of at least fifty-five
minutes: and each course extends through the whole session.
No elective offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered, by the same candidate, for the other
cultural baccalaureate degrees, nor can any work done toward the removal
of conditions of entrance be counted as part of the work required for any
degree.
BACHELOR OF ARTS.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of Virginia is conferred
upon the candidate who has completed the work of thirteen courses
in accordance with the regulations given below.
Regulations Concerning the Bachelor of Arts Degree.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 80), the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, Mathematics 1A; and either Latin 1A, or Greek 2A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete eight B Courses selected
from the six groups given above (p. 157) as follows; two B Courses
must be selected from Group I. and one of these must be either
Latin 2B or Greek 3B; one B Course must be selected from Group
II; two from Group III; one from Group IV, one from Group V,
and one from Group VI.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of two
courses selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section
(3), below, of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A. Mathematics 1A, Latin 1A (or some other
foreign language), and a Natural Science (or Greek 2A, if both
Latin and Greek are selected from Group 1).
(2) Time Required for Obtaining B. A. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) above), are required to undertake
the work of three courses each session; and of only three, unless
normally required for obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Arts by
the candidate who enters without advanced standing is four years.
(See also Section (4), (b), below.)
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
college (p. 80) must devote at least one full session exclusively to
collegiate work here, and must complete the work of at least three
of the required B Courses in this college (Section (1) ). The
programme of studies offered by such candidate must satisfy all
the requirements of the B. A. degree as here established.
(3) Elective-at-large, and Major Group.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected eight B Courses in accordance with Section (1), (b), of
these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, described under the head of
academic schools, pp. 116-155; or any C Course, of which the precedent
B Course has been completed, described under the head of the
academic schools, pp. 116-155.
But in every case the two electives-at-large must be selected from
the subjects of some one of the six groups (p. 157); and this group
is to be known as the candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.
(a) The candidate who offers both B Latin and B Greek from
Group I (p. 157) is required to offer only the elective-at-large
(Section (1), (c) ).
(b) The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section (1),
(a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer in lieu
of the two elective-at-large (Section (1), (c) ), the work of the
first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine, or any three
technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. A. degree and
a professional degree may save about one year of the time required
for both degrees.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE.
The degree of Bachelor of Science of the University of Virginia, as
at present organized in the college, is designed to meet the needs of two
distinct classes of candidates.
The first class consists of those candidates who wish to obtain a
beccalaureate degree representing general culture, but who do not desire,
or are unable, to offer the classical language required of every candidate
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
The second class consists of those candidates who desire to fit themselves,
in not less than four years, to pursue advantageously some vocation,
for which special training in one of the natural or mathematical sciences
is necessary,—such as the vocation of practical chemist, physicist, biologist,
or geologist; or that of teacher of one of the natural or mathematical
sciences, in a high-school or college.
The regulations subject to which the degree of Bachelor of Science is
conferred.—whether as a cultural degree, or as a vocational degree,—are
detailed below. In each case the candidate must complete the work of
thirteen courses.
I. Regulations Concerning the Cultural Degree of
Bachelor of Science.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 80) the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, and of Mathematics 1A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work of eight B
Courses, selected from the six groups given above (p. 157), as follows:
two B Courses must be selected from Group I, and neither
of these shall be a Course in Latin or Greek; one B Course must be
selected from Group II; two from Group III; one from Group IV;
one from Group V. and one from Group VI.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of three
courses selected from the electives-at-large, in accordance with section
(3), below, of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, a foreign language from
Group I, and a Natural Science from Group III.
(2) Time Required for Obtaining the B. S. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) ), are required to undertake the
work of three courses each session; and of only three unless otherwise
authorized by the academic faculty. Hence the time normally
required for obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Science, by the
candidate who enters without advanced standing, is four years.
(See also Section (4), (b), below.)
The candidate who enters, with advanced standing, from another
college (p. 80), must devote at least one full session exclusively to
of the required B Courses, (Section (1) ), in this college. The
programme of studies offered by such candidate must satisfy all
the requirements of the B. S. degree as here established.
(3) Electives-at-large, and Major Group.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected eight B Courses in accordance with Section (1), (b), of
these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, described under the head of the
academic schools, pp. 116-155, or any C Course, of which the precedent
B Course has been completed, described under the head of the
academic schools, pp. 116-155.
But in every case at least two of the electives-at-large must be
selected from the subjects of some one of the six groups (p. 157);
select this group is to be known as the candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.
The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section (1),
(a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer in lieu
the three electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c) ), the work of the
first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine, or any three
technical courses in the Department of Engineering. Thus the
candidate who desires to obtain both the B. S. degree and a professional
degree, may save one year of the time required for both
degrees.
II. Regulations Concerning the Vocational Degree of
Bachelor of Science.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 80) the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, and Mathematics 1A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work in French 2B
and German 2B, and must also complete one B Course from Group
II (p. 157), and two B Courses from Group III. These five courses
should be completed during the first two years of candidacy.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of six
courses selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section
(3), below, of these regulations.
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, either French 2B, or German
2B; and a B Course from Group III.
(2) Time Required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) ), are required to undertake the
work of three courses each session; and of only three unless otherwise
authorized by the academic faculty. Hence, the time normally
required for obtaining the vocational degree of Bachelor of Science,
by the candidate who enters without advanced standing, is four years.
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
college (p. 80) must devote at least one full session to collegiate
work here, and must complete the work of at least three of the
required B or C Courses in this college. The programme of studies
offered by such candidate must satisfy all the requirements of the
vocational B. S. degree as here established.
(3) Major School and Electives-at-large.
At least two years before the date of expected graduation the
candidate must select one of the schools of natural or mathematical
science as his Major, or principal, School; and during the remainder
of his candidacy must pursue work in that school. As subsidiary
to the principal subject thus chosen, he shall pursue such other
courses within the limits of the electives-at-large (see below) as
are deemed most important in his case by the professor or professors
in charge of his major school, and approved by the academic faculty.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or of a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After five B
Courses have been chosen in accordance with Section (1), (b), of
these regulations, the six electives-at-large required are to be selected,
(subject to the restrictions detailed in the first paragraph of this
section), from the lists of B and C Courses described under the
head of the academic schools, pp. 116-155.
(4) Title Conferred with Diploma.
The name of the principal subject selected by the successful candidate
shall be inscribed upon his diploma. For example, the successful
candidate who selected one of the schools of Chemistry as his
major school (Section (3) ), shall receive the title of "Bachelor
of Science in Chemistry."

DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE STUDIES.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D. | President |
| RICHARD HEATH DABNEY, M. A., Ph. D. | Dean |
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
possession of a baccalaureate degree from a recognized institution of
collegiate rank; or, in the case of a graduate of an institution of such
rank that does not confer a baccalaureate degree, presentation of 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.
A candidate entering the university under these conditions will be registered
as a graduate student if he is pursuing one or more graduate courses: he
may, however, be permitted, or, if he is a candidate for a degree who
enters from another college, be required to take in addition such strictly
undergraduate courses as may be desirable or necessary for his purpose.
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:
but a student thus pursuing graduate studies will not be registered as a
member of this department unless he has satisfied the conditions above
stated.
Master of Arts.
The degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia will be
conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts of this university who has completed
the work in four fully organized graduate courses chosen by himself and
approved by the academic faculty; each of which courses must be one in
which the professor regularly meets the class not less than three hours
a week. The four courses must be chosen from at least three distinct subjects
distributed among three different academic schools, except by special
order of the academic faculty; and three of the courses must be cognate.
Students who take such graduate courses in some subjects before receiving
the B. A. degree will not be granted the M. A. degree unless they take at
least two of their graduate courses in the academic year when the latter
degree is conferred.
A description of the courses open to candidates for the master's
degree is given in its proper connection in that portion of the catalogue
which treats of the work of the independent academic schools, pp. 116-155.
The courses indicated are also, in many cases, included among the
advanced courses that may be offered as electives at large for the degree
of Bachelor of Arts: credit can be obtained for any such course in but
one of these capacities by the same candidate; work done for the lower
degree being in no case counted again as part of the work required for
the attainment of the higher degree.
Students holding baccalaureate degrees from other chartered institutions
of learning and desiring admission to candidacy for the degree of Master
of Arts should write immediately to the Registrar of the university and
ask for a blank form of application, to be filled out (partly by the applicant,
and partly by the president of the institution from which the applicant has
received a degree) and promptly returned to the Registrar. When the
Committee on Rules and Courses has duly considered the application, the
applicant will be informed what work he will have to do in order to
obtain the M. A. degree.
In general, the faculty will require that, unless the baccalaureate
degree of the candidate conforms with reasonable closeness to the B. A.
degree of the university in the character of its requirements, the candidate
must take such undergraduate courses here as will supplement
his deficiencies. In particular, the faculty will require the candidate
to take not only the four graduate courses mentioned above, but also
the undergraduate courses in the same subjects, unless the Committee
on Rules and Courses consider that the candidate's work done elsewhere
in one or more of these subjects has been fully equal in quality and
quantity to the undergraduate work required in such subject or subjects
at the University of Virginia. Nor can the candidate be excused from
doing the undergraduate work in any one of these four subjects without
the consent of the professor of that subject.
Master of Science.
The degree of Master of Science of the University of Virginia will
be conferred upon a holder of the cultural degree (p. 160) of Bachelor
of Science, under regulations exactly similar to those under which the
degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts. Candidates
for the degree of Master of Science need, therefore,—in order to
see in detail what will be required of them,—merely substitute the letters
"B. S." for "B. A.," and the letters "M. S." for "M. A.," wherever
"B. A." and "M. A.," respectively occur in the statement (p. 165) of
the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.
Doctor of Philosophy.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Virginia
will be conferred upon the holder of the B. A. or cultural B. S. degree
the holder of a similar degree from some other chartered institution
of learning who possesses a reading knowledge of French and German,
and who completes the prescribed graduate work in three cognate subjects,
chosen by himself from at least two academic schools, and approved
by the academic faculty; this graduate work to be pursued for at least
three years in the major subject, for at least two years in the primary
minor, and for at least one year in the secondary minor subject. It
is also provided that any student taking the second or third year of
graduate work in a 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.
The "reading knowledge" of French and German mentioned above
is intended to enable the candidate to pursue his chosen subjects through
the medium of books and periodicals in the French and German languages.
His ability to do this must be tested at the beginning of the
first year of his candidacy by examinations on these languages in the
presence of a committee consisting of the professor of the candidate's
major subject and the professors of French and German. In case of
failure on either or both of the examinations, he will be required to enter
the appropriate class or classes in one or both of the languages, and will
not be regarded as a regular candidate for the doctorate until he has
fulfilled the requirements in French and German. It is provided, however,
that any student who has already passed on the B course in either
or both of the languages at this university shall be considered as having
the requisite knowledge of either or both of them, as the case may be.
Graduate work done in other universities may be accepted in lieu
of resident work done here, 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, while it shall be possible for a candidate
to get credit in this way for the whole of his secondary minor subject,
every candidate must take here at least one advanced course in his
primary minor, and at least one year's work in his major subject.
It is also provided that a candidate who is a professor, in charge
of the subject selected by him as major, in a chartered college or university,
may be allowed by the academic faculty to spend only two
years in resident work at this university. The graduate work of the
last year of candidacy shall in all cases be done at this university, unless
the academic faculty shall for special reasons direct otherwise.
Upon the completion of the approved courses, the candidate shall
submit to the academic faculty a dissertation exhibiting independent
research in some branch of his major subject. The dissertation must
be submitted not later than April 15 of the year in which the candidate
faculty's approval shall be written (type-written, 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 accepted as satisfactory
by the faculty, this copy shall immediately become the property of the
university. If approved, the dissertation must be printed at the candidate's
expense before the degree is conferred, 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.
The instruction open to candidates for the doctor's degree in each
of the academic schools is described in a preceding portion of the catalogue.
No graduate course can be counted for the doctor's degree unless
the professor regularly meets the class not less than three hours a week.
The conditions on which students holding baccalaureate degrees from
other chartered institutions of learning are admitted to candidacy for
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are as follows.
Each applicant should write to the Registrar of the university and
ask for a blank form of application to be filled out (partly by the applicant,
and partly by the president of the institution from which the
applicant has received a degree) and promptly returned to the Registrar.
When the application has been duly considered by the Committee on
Rules and Courses, the applicant will be informed as to the work which
he, if accepted as a candidate, will have to do in order to secure the
doctor's degree. The general rule will be that unless his baccalaureate
degree conforms with reasonable closeness to one of the cultural baccalaureate
degrees of this university in the nature of its requirements, he
must take such undergraduate courses here as will supplement his
deficiencies. In particular, he will be required to take not only the
graduate work in his three chosen subjects, but the undergraduate courses
as well, unless the faculty is convinced that his work done elsewhere in
one or more of these subjects has been fully equal in quality and quantity
to the undergraduate work required in such subject or subjects at this
university. Moreover, the individual professor of any of these three
subjects may require the candidate to take his undergraduate course.
should he regard him as insufficiently grounded in the fundamental facts
or principles of the subject.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the University for a Virginia student in
the Department of Graduate Studies may be estimated at from $190
a year upward, according to the mode of living; for students from other
states this minimum should be increased by a sum ranging from $90
to $130 for tuition fees. A fuller statement of expenses, including the
tuition, will be found on pp. 97-98.
Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who are granted
the privilege of non-residence during a portion of their candidacy, under
conditions above stated, are required to matriculate and pay the annual
university fee of $40 if not Virginians, and $10 if Virginians, during such
period of non-residence.
For days and hours of lectures and for dates of examinations in the
Department of Graduate Studies, see schedule on next page.

Historical.—Among the original schools contemplated in Mr. Jefferson's
plan for the organization of the University of Virginia was "Law:
Municipal and Foreign; Embracing the General Principles, Theory, and
Practice of Jurisprudence, together with the Theory and Principles of
Constitutional Government." Accordingly the School of Law was established
in 1826, and has been in continuous operation since, even during
the four years of the civil war.
From its inception until 1894, the course comprised the work of a
single year. With the session of 1894-95, a two years' course was inaugurated,
which continued up to the session of 1909-10, when the course
was extended to three years.
The aim of the Department of Law has always been to maintain a
high standard as a requirement for graduation—the degree being conferred
only upon such students as are thorough masters of the prescribed course
of study. This policy has been rigorously enforced, and its wisdom has
been vindicated by the high position which the graduates of the law
of instruction has been extended from time to time to conform to changing
conditions and to meet the increasing needs of the profession. It is confidently
believed that the enlarged course now offered will enable those who
complete it more surely to maintain that rank at the bar which the
University has always expected of her sons.
New Law Building.—The handsome Law Building announced in last
year's catalogue as in course of erection is now practically complete, and
will be ready for occupancy before the close of the session of 1910-11. It
is located between Dawson's Row and the southern end of East Range.
The building is on classic lines, in keeping with the general design of the
other university buildings. It contains on the first floor four large lecture
halls, with convenient offices, cloak rooms, etc., and on the second floor
a stack room, with ample space for books, two commodious reading rooms,
and a number of small private rooms for special work. Liberal provision
has been made for heat, light and ventilation. Special care has been
taken to provide comfortable seats and desks in the lecture halls.
Law Library.—The Library contains about ten thousand volumes.
Its financial resources, from appropriations by the Visitors and from a
recent endowment of ten thousand dollars by Mr. W. W. Fuller, of New
York, make possible the addition of several hundred volumes annually.
The Library contains the English Reports, from and including the Year
Books to date; the United States Supreme Court Reports; reports of all
the American States; the National Reporter System, complete; modern
selected and annotated reports, such as the American Decisions, Reports
and State Reports; Lawyers Reports Annotated; American and English
Annotated Reports; English Ruling Cases, etc.; together with modern
search-books in the form of general Digests (including the Century and
Decennial editions), and the leading Encyclopedias, besides a large collection
of text-books, bound volumes of law magazines, etc. Law students
have all the privileges of the general University Library, containing more
than sixty thousand volumes, without extra charge.
Suggestions as to Preliminary Education.—Students, and their
parents or guardians, are warned that the law is peculiarly an intellectual
profession, and demands for its successful prosecution, whether
at the Law School or in the broader fields of professional life, a well-trained
mind. If it be true that untrained intellects, in rare instances,
under diligent and persistent effort, develop after entrance upon practice,
such exceptional cases but serve to illustrate the rule that out of a given
number of young men entering upon the study of the law, those with
sound preliminary training will have incomparably the advantage, while
those without it will be seriously handicapped, and are likely never to
rise above mediocrity in their profession.
The experience of the Law Faculty—nay, of all law teachers—is,
that the standing and progress of law students are, in large measure,
advised not to begin their legal studies until they have completed an
academic course approximating that ordinarily required for the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. So high a standard, however, is not exacted as a
condition of entrance into the Law School. These conditions are shown
in the following sections.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Regular Students.—Candidates for the degree (Bachelor of Laws)
must have attained the age of eighteen years before entering the department,
must produce a certificate of good character from the school last
attended or other satisfactory source, and must conform to the general
requirements of the university as follows:
For Admission to the Department of Law the candidate must offer
fourteen units as specified below; of these three must be in English,
three in Mathematics, one in History, and the residue selected at will.
The Subjects accepted for Admission and their values in units are
given in tabulated form on the following page. The applicant for admission
may enter either by certificate or by examination.
For Admission by Certificate the candidate must file with the dean
of the university not later than September first a Certificate of Preparation,
made out on the blank form furnished by the university. This
certificate must come from some recognized institution of collegiate rank
or from an accredited high school, but admission by certificate from
accredited public high schools in Virginia shall be extended only to
graduates from four-year high schools. It must bear in all cases the
signature of the head of the school; must specify the character and content
of each course offered for entrance credit; must give the length of time
devoted to the course, and the dates of the examinations; and must give
the candidate's grades in percentages. Each unit in the entrance requirements
is the equivalent of one full year of high-school work, including
five periods a week of at least forty minutes each during not less than
thirty-six weeks, For schools in which the number of periods given to
any study, or the length of the period, is below the standard here specified,
the credit for such study will be reduced pro rata. In the scientific
subjects two hours of laboratory instruction will be counted as the
equivalent of one hour of recitation. High school courses in Physics and
Chemistry, otherwise adequate, will be allowed half credit, when individual
laboratory work is not done by the student or is not attested by proper
note-books filed with the certificate. Certificates of preparation from
private tutors will in no case be accepted; students thus prepared must
in all cases take the Entrance Examinations.
For Admission by Examination the candidate must present himself
for test at the University of Virginia in June or in September, according
to the dates given in the Programme of Entrance Examinations, which
may be had by applying to the Registrar. The examinations are held
under the honor system, no paper being accepted unless accompanied by
the usual pledge. All candidates who take their examinations at the
times appointed are tested free of charge. In case of delayed entrance,
where the grounds of postponement are good, the president of the university
may admit the candidate to a special examination, for which an
additional fee of five dollars is charged. The fee is payable in advance
and is in no case returned. Satisfactory certificates as to character and
age are in all cases required.

Special Students.—Applicants for registration who are more than
twenty years old, reckoning from the birthday preceding matriculation,
and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective courses, must present
adequate proofs of good character and of the needful maturity and training.
Such applicants may then be registered as Special Students, and will
be admitted without formal examination to the privileges of the Law
School, but not as candidates for the degree.
With the admonition that over-zealousness, whereby an ambitious
student is beguiled into the assumption of more work than he can
thoroughly master in a given time, leads to cramming and inaccuracy,
and often to complete failure, the special student is free to select his
own work.
Admission to Advanced Standing.—No credit is given for attendance
at another law school, nor for time spent in private reading. The candidate
for graduation must spend all three years in residence.
Late Entrance.—Registration commences Thursday, September 14,
and the work of the Law School begins promptly on Monday following.
Students are advised that late entrance is a serious hindrance to progress.
The student who enters late must begin his work at the point to which
the work has advanced at the time of his entrance; and credit for three
years' attendance cannot be given unless the student's actual residence
averages at least thirty weeks per session. No registration in absentia
is permissible.
As regards conditions of admission in case of late entrance, reference
is made to the Regulations concerning Registration, as stated on p. 89.
Expenses.—The necessary expenses of a student in the Department
of Law may be estimated at $350 per session of nine months. This
minimum estimate includes all university and tuition fees, board, lodging,
washing and books. An average estimate would be $450 per session,
reckoning board, lodging, washing, and books at a somewhat higher figure.
The University fee applicable to all law students (including those from
Virginia) is $40; and the tuition fee is $100 for the regular work of each
session. For Special Students who desire to take selected courses, the
tuition fee is estimated according to the ratio which the work chosen
bears to the whole.
Three Years' Course.—The course of study embraces three years of
thirty-six weeks each, exclusive of holidays. Residence, for three years,
with an average attendance of at least thirty weeks a year, exclusive of
holidays, is essential to graduation.
Plan of Instruction—The course is planned with a view to acquaint
the student familiarly and practically with the principles of his profession.
and principle, rather than upon memory; it being considered better that
the student follow principle to its legitimate conclusion, though this be
at variance with the decisions of the courts, than that he should arrive
at a faultless result by the exercise of memory or by accident.
The instruction is as thorough as possible, and is given partly
through text-books and lectures, and partly through the study of cases.
While convinced of the value of the combined text-book and lecture
system, which has prevailed for more than half a century in the Law
School, and from which, in the inauguration of the more extended course,
it is not meant in any wise to depart, the Law Faculty have long appreciated
the value which the study of cases possesses, in illustrating the
practical application of legal principles, and in forcing the student to
extract for himself the doctrine which the cases establish. The enlargement
of the course gives opportunity for more emphasis upon this form
of instruction, and the case-book will, therefore, be used more extensively
than heretofore—not as supplanting, but as supplementing, the text-book
and lecture.
The daily oral quiz has long been a marked and, as experience has
proved, a most valuable feature of the system of instruction. As cross-examination
exposes error and develops truth, so the daily quiz enables
the instructor to discover and rectify misconception of legal principles on
the part of the student.
This oral quiz is now supplemented by frequent written tests, the
results of which are carefully recorded, and are considered in estimating
the grade of the student in the final examinations.
Required for Graduation.—The degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.)
is conferred upon such students as have attained the age of twenty-one
years; have satisfied the entrance requirements; have attended three full
sessions of the Law School; and have successfully passed the required
examinations, with satisfactory performance of assigned practical work.
More specifically, the candidate for graduation must have completed
all of the obligatory courses (see Outline of Courses, below), the credit
value of which is six hundred (600) units, and elective courses of at least
the credit value of two hundred and fifty (250) units—or a total of eight
hundred and fifty (850) units. It follows that of the courses termed
`elective,' a required minimum are in fact obligatory—the candidate being
permitted to exercise an election among them.
Candidates for the degree, who in any session have less than one
full year's course to complete, may be required to take such additional
work, and to stand such additional examinations, as shall be prescribed.
OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The entire course of three years embraces 1,000 units (or lecture
periods of one and a half hours each) and to each subject satisfactorily
completed is attached a credit value of one unit for each lecture period
comprised therein. Of the total units, 600 are classed as obligatory and
the remaining 400 as elective. As stated, graduation requires the completion
of all the obligatory courses (credit value 600), plus elective
courses having a credit value of at least 250 units—or a minimum required
total of 850 units.
This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13½ hours)
per week during the first and second years, and eight periods (or 12
hours) the third year. The credit value of course number 4 (see table
below) is 20 units.
Each session comprises 36 weeks, exclusive of holidays, and is divided
into three terms—Sept. 15 to Dec. 23—Jan. 3 to March 21—and March
22 to June 6.
Written examinations are held during the final week of each term,
on the subjects completed during the term. See Schedule of Examinations,
p. 186.

Moot Court.—A Moot Court is organized by the students in the First
Year's course for the discussion of legal questions. Its meetings begin
at the opening and continue to the end of the session, with such interruptions
only as are incident to the proximity of the examinations. Attendance
is voluntary, as presence during the debates is intended to be a
privilege and not a burden. But every candidate for the degree is required
to argue at least one case in the Moot Court. The questions are chosen
by the Law Faculty, one of whom presides over the discussions. Interest
and life are added to the proceedings by the open debate held after the
argument, the presiding judge acting as interlocutor, and leading into the
debate those whom diffidence prompts to silence.
Practical Work.—In the courses of Equity Procedure, Virginia
Pleading & Practice, Code Pleading, Criminal Procedure, and Legal
Bibliography and Brief Making, special stress is laid upon practical work.
In the Pleading and Procedure courses, every student is required to draw,
and submit for correction and criticism, all of the principal pleadings,
orders, decrees, and other forms usual in actual litigation. In the course
on Legal Bibliography and Brief Making, familiarity with Law books and
their use is secured by lectures and demonstrations in the presence of the
books themselves, followed by oral and written quizzes, and finally by
practical tests; and briefs on assigned topics are required to be prepared
according to rigorous standards.
Applications for Degrees.—Candidates for degrees are required, within
thirty days after registration for their third year's work, to file a written
application, on blanks to be obtained at the Dean's office, setting out the
courses already completed, with the credits thereto attached, followed by
an outline of the additional courses offered to complete the requisite
aggregate of credits necessary for graduation.
Prize.—A prize for the best thesis on a subject assigned by the Law
Faculty is awarded annually in a competition open to members of the
third year class, who are candidates for graduation. It is donated by
the Edward Thompson Company of Northport, N. Y., and consists of a
set of the second edition of the American and English Encyclopedia of
Law (32 volumes), of the estimated value of $240.
The Edward Thompson Company Prize for the session of 1909-10 was
awarded to Claiborne Ross McCorkle, LL. B., of Richlands, Va. Subject:

Requirements for Admission to the Department of Medicine.—Applicants
for admission to the Department of Medicine are required to present
the diploma of a recognized institution of collegiate rank; or a certificate
of good standing in such an institution; or the diploma of a recognized
public or private high school having a four years' course, or acceptable
certificates which represent work equivalent in amount and character to
such a high-school course; and, in addition, to present evidence of the
completion of a year's work in an approved institution of collegiate rank,
this work to include satisfactory courses in Inorganic (General) Chemistry
and Biology and one of the following: Physics, German, or French.
The completion of a year's work in Zoölogy or Botany will be accepted
as satisfying the requirement in Biology.
A student may be admitted conditioned on any one of the above subjects
except Chemistry, this condition to be removed before entering on
the work of the second year.
The requirement in Biology may be waived in the case of graduates of
approved colleges and universities.
Further information concerning the character of these requirements
and forms for certificates may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the
Department of Medicine, or Mr. Howard Winston, Registrar, at the
University.
Facilities for and Methods of Instruction.—In recent years many
additions have been made to the laboratory facilities of the Department,
so that there are now well equipped laboratories for the study of Organic
and Physiological Chemistry, Gross Anatomy, Histology and Embryology,
Bacteriology and Pathology, Physiology, Pharmacology, Materia Medica,
and Clinical Diagnosis. These laboratories are all presided over by trained
teachers, to whom teaching and investigation are primary considerations.
The number of hours assigned to the laboratory subjects is quite large and
affords ample time for thorough study of the best methods. The student
is brought into close contact with teachers who are both willing and able
to guide him: he gains a very large part of his knowledge at first hand
things for himself; he becomes self-reliant, a quality essential to the
practice of his difficult profession. Trained in this manner he acquires an
understanding of the medical sciences and the ability to apply the facts
of these sciences to the subsequent study of disease. For these reasons
the great fundamental sciences receive the utmost consideration, constituting
the entire work of the first two years.
The methods of clinical instruction are based upon the belief that
no clinical teaching is efficient which is not governed by essentially the
same principles as those which govern the best laboratory teaching. This
instruction is accordingly designed to enforce with the individual student
a careful, thorough, face-to-face study of disease and its management. The
facilities afforded by the University Hospital and Dispensary are described
on a subsequent page. In the third year, after two sessions devoted to
laboratory training, the student is introduced to the study of disease in
living persons. In the dispensary and in the hospital he learns the methods
of examining patients, of diagnosing their diseases, and of instituting
rational treatment; and he learns these things in much the same way as
he studied in the laboratory, that is to say, by doing them himself under
the direction and criticism of the instructors. This practical training is
accompanied by a systematic study of the various subjects by means of
lectures, text-books, and recitations. With this preparation the student is
ready to enter upon the hospital work in his fourth year. Here he has
advantages for clinical training similar to those enjoyed by internes.
Each clinical patient on admission to the hospital is assigned to a student,
and that patient is regarded as his "case." The student conducts a complete
examination, records his observations in a scientific manner, makes
a diagnosis, states his view as to the treatment indicated, and keeps a
complete record of the case, all under the advice and criticism of the
physician or surgeon in charge. He is expected to keep himself informed
of the progress of the case throughout its course; if it is one requiring
surgical treatment, he assists at the operation, and thus is able to follow
all the procedures of the operator at close range. In addition students
make frequent visits to the wards with the attending physicians and
surgeons, during which visits the nature, treatment, and progress of
various cases are gone over in detail. To carry out this method of clinical
instruction the Hospital had last year over 1,400 cases. Since the number
of students in each class is relatively small, it is clear that the Department
offers capable young men clinical advantages which are distinctly
exceptional.
Opportunities are offered in the fourth year for more extended training
in certain subjects with a view toward possible specialization after
graduation.
At the meetings of the Medical Section of the Philosophical Society
reviews of important articles and results of original research are presented
by the instructors and by invited guests. These meetings are open to the
students.
Regulations.—The records given after the regular examination on a
course, with their explanations, are as follows:
Passed indicates the satisfactory completion of the course and admits
to all dependent subjects.
Conditioned means that to obtain a clear record on the course the
student must pass the next special examination. Failure to take or to
pass this examination is equivalent to a record of "failed." The record
"conditioned" is not given in fourth year subjects, except in case of illness
or other equivalent cause approved by the faculty.
Deficient indicates that part of the work of the course has not been
completed. Upon the satisfactory completion of this work within the time
and in the manner prescribed by the professor in charge the student
receives the record "passed"; otherwise the record is "failed" on the
entire course.
Failed indicates that the course must be repeated; except that when
the laboratory or other practical work has been satisfactorily performed,
the professor in charge may, at his discretion, excuse the student from
repeating the same; and, by special vote of the faculty, the student may
be granted optional attendance upon the course, in whole or in part. In
general a student who is repeating a course will be required to attend all
the exercises of the course, and will not be excused from any exercise
thereof because of schedule conflicts with more advanced work.
Absence from a regular examination, when excused because of illness
or other equivalent cause, gives a record of conditioned; if not excused,
a record of failed.
To pass a regular or a special examination a grade of eighty per cent.
is required. If the grade is less than eighty per cent. but not less than
seventy per cent., the student is entitled to the record conditioned; but
the record "conditioned" is not given in fourth year subjects, except under
the conditions noted above.
No student will be admitted to any subject of the second or the third
year if more than one-third of the work of the preceding years remains
unfinished. If at the beginning of the year his deficiencies have not been
made up by the satisfactory completion of courses at some school approved
by the instructors in charge at this university, he may continue as a
student in the Department of Medicine only by repeating the courses in
which he has failed. In the interpretation of this rule the values of the
subjects of the first and second years are estimated in points as follows:
Anatomy 1, 16 points; Anatomy 2, 5 points; Organic Chemistry, 15
points; Histology, 14 points; Embryology, 6 points; Physiological
Chemistry, 8 points.
Anatomy 3, 16 points; Physiology, 20 points; Bacteriology, 8 points;
Pathology, 20 points; Pharmacology, 8 points.
Students will not be allowed to undertake the work of the third or
fourth year until they have completed that of the first year, save by
special consent of the Medical Faculty.
A student may not take any course, either in whole or in part (as
explained under the above definition of "failed") more than two times.
A second record of "failed" on the same course involves withdrawal from
the Department of Medicine.
Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, who have less than
one full year's course to complete, may be required to take such additional
work and to pass such additional examinations as the medical faculty may
prescribe. This additional work may be selected from any of the courses
given in the Department of Medicine, even when such prescribed courses
have previously been taken and passed by the candidate in question.
Advanced Standing.—Students are admitted to advanced standing in
the second and third years under the following conditions:
1. Satisfaction of the requirements for entrance into this Department.
2. The presentation of a certificate from an accredited school of
medicine showing that the applicant has completed work equivalent to
that maintained by this Department in each subject for which credit is
sought. Applicants complying with these conditions will be admitted to
advanced standing without examination. Applicants who have not completed
all of the work of the year or years preceding that to which they
seek admission are admitted to the Fall Examinations under the conditions
stated in the subsequent paragraph on Examinations. The right is reserved
in every case to obtain satisfactory evidence of the genuineness of a
certificate by correspondence with the proper authority of the school from
which the applicant comes.
No credit can be allowed for time not spent in a regular school of
medicine; except that applicants holding the degree of A. B. or B. S. from
a reputable college or university will be admitted to the second year,
provided their academic course has included the equivalent of the first-year
medical course.
Certificates of Attendance.—Students who attend the whole regular
course of one or more of the four years are entitled to certificates of
attendance.
Requirements for Graduation.—The degree of Doctor of Medicine is
conferred by the University of Virginia upon candidates who have complied
with the entrance requirements of this Department; attended a regular
medical course of four years of at least eight months each, the last two
of which must have been at this institution; and have satisfactorily
completed all of the subjects included in the medical course.
Examinations.—These are in writing, accompanied in many subjects
by individual practical examinations. The regular examinations are held
at stated periods during the session. In addition, examinations are held
each year during the week immediately preceding the beginning of lectures.
To the latter are admitted:
1. Students of the previous session who, from illness or other
equivalent cause approved by the faculty, were unable to present themselves
for examination in any particular subject at the regular time.
2. Students who at the regular examination in any first, second, or
third year subject of the preceding session have attained a grade less than
eighty per cent., but as much as seventy per cent. on one or more subjects,
as explained in a preceding paragraph; or any student who has received
the record of "conditioned" on a course taken in this University.
3. Certain applicants for advanced standing, who satisfy the requirements
stated under "Advanced Standing," and meet the above conditions
of this section.
The Fall Examinations for 1911-1912 begin September eleventh, and
close September sixteenth. Students entitled to admission to these examinations
will be informed of the date of examination by the Dean.
Expenses.—The tuition fees are $110 for the first year, $100 for the
second year, $80 for the third year, and $60 for the fourth year. The
annual expenses exclusive of tuition are $40 for the university fee (which
entitles the student to the use of the library, the gymnasium, to medical
attention, etc.), an average of about $200 for living expenses, and $20
for books.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
In the following description of courses, the number of hours represents
the amount of time each student devotes to the course. In addition
to the hours scheduled in the third and fourth years of the course, each
student devotes a considerable amount of time to practical work which
does not appear in the schedule, but the satisfactory performance of which
is essential to graduation. Thus the taking of histories, the visits to his
cases in the hospital, assisting at operations, attendance upon cases of
labour, the employment of microscopical and chemical methods of diagnosis
in the hospital, require much time which it has not seemed possible to
record in a rigid schedule. It should, however, be stated that each
student in the fourth year gives at least two hundred hours to this
required but unscheduled practical work.
FIRST YEAR.
Anatomy 1.—Six hours weekly until November 1st; twelve hours
weekly from November 1st to the end of the winter term. This course
begins with a systematic study of the bones, on the completion of which a
part (either the head and neck with the upper extremity and thorax, or
the lower extremity and abdomen) is assigned to each student for dissection
and study. For this purpose each cadaver is considered as composed
of four parts; on the completion of this course and Anatomy 3 each
student has dissected a lateral half of the body. Emphasis is placed upon
the benefit to be derived by the student who obtains his knowledge at first
hand and by his own personal efforts. While practical dissection and the
consideration of topographical relations make up the essential features of
the course, there are occasional lectures and frequent recitations, followed
by a final written examination in March. The satisfactory performance
of the laboratory work is essential to a passing grade. Dr. Whitehead.
Anatomy 2.—Six hours weekly during the spring term. This course
consists in a laboratory study of the anatomy of the central nervous
system carried out in considerable detail. The gross anatomy of the
spinal cord and brain is first considered, on the completion of which sections
of the more important regions are studied carefully with the aid of the
microscope. For the purposes of the course the laboratory is well equipped.
Fresh brains are obtained each year from the dissecting material of the
departments; and several excellent series of sections of the cord and
brain both of infants and adults stained by the Weigert-Pal method are
thoroughly used. The laboratory work is supplemented by recitations and
occasional lectures. Dr. Whitehead.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the fall and winter terms. The student's record in the
course will depend upon his recitations, laboratory drawing books, and final
examination, both written and practical. The course aims to acquaint the
student primarily with the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and
organs. Cytogenesis and histogenesis are briefly considered in the case of
many tissues studied; and the relation of the whole subject of histology
to pathology is never lost sight of. The student is also given opportunity
to acquaint himself with the principles and practice of histological
technique. The laboratory is excellently equipped with microscopes,
paraffin baths, microtomes, and various accessories essential to the most
favorable presentation of this course.
A record of seventy per cent. in this course is required for admission
to Physiology, and of eighty per cent. for admission to Pathology. Dr.
Jordan, Mr. Steele and Mr. Williams.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the spring term. The laboratory
work (six hours weekly) is accompanied by lectures, recitations, and
the study of models and text-books. The course aims to give the student
a knowledge of developmental processes, in the light of which he may the
better understand the more abstruse normal conditions of adult anatomy,
as well as many anomalies and variations, neoplasms and malformations.
The close correlation of obstetrics is recognized, and a correct knowledge
of the fetus and its membranes is taught from the embryological approach.
The course is made as practical as possible for the student and practitioner
of medicine. It begins with a consideration of maturation phenomena,
fertilization, segmentation, and the development of the germ-layers. This
study is made chiefly upon the ova and early stages of an invertebrate,
followed by a comparison in an amphibian. The chick is used for the
primary relations of the systems to one another; and this is followed
by the study of pig embryos, where each system is taken up separately
and the organology and histogenesis of its parts are studied. Finally,
the fetal membranes and their relations to the fetus and uterus are studied
in their variations among the amniota. Dr. Jordan, Mr. Steele and Mr.
Williams.
Organic Chemistry.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly,
laboratory work six hours weekly during the fall and winter terms. This
course includes the systematic study of organic chemistry or the chemistry
of the compounds of carbon, with special reference to substances of importance
in their relation to medicine. The object of this course of study
is to familiarize the student with the more important organic compounds
and with the methods at present employed in chemical synthesis and to
lay the foundation for subsequent work in physiological chemistry, pharmacology,
etc., etc.
A record of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to Physiological Chemistry. Dr. Kastle and Dr. Edgar.
Physiological Chemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations and nine
hours of laboratory work weekly during the spring term. This course has
for its object to afford instruction in the fundamentals of physiological
chemistry, especially the chemical structure, properties, and reactions of
the more important compounds with which the student must deal in his
subsequent studies of physiology. The laboratory work, for which ample
facilities are provided, consists of the thorough study of the properties
of the carbonhydrates, fats, soaps, fatty acids, and proteins, and of the
more important members of each of these groups; the composition of blood,
milk, muscle, pancreas, and other organs; the action of the more important
digestive enzymes and of the bile; and the chemistry of the urine.
Accurate quantitative determinations are required of urea (Folin), total
nitrogen (Kjeldahl), uric acid (Hopkins-Folin), ammonia (Folin), sugar
(Fehling and Benedict), and kreatinin (Folin). Other processes of
quantitative analysis, such as the Soxhlet method of fat determination
and the silver nitrate method of determining the total purins, are either
demonstrated or their essential manipulations carried out by the student
himself. The exceptional preparation of students not only in general but
also in organic chemistry makes it possible to acquire in this course both
a clear understanding of the problems of physiological chemistry, and
also skill in the use of the fundamental qualitative and quantitative
methods.
A grade of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to Physiology. Dr. Kastle and Dr. Edgar.
SECOND YEAR.
Anatomy 3.—Ten hours weekly from October 1st through the fall and
winter terms. This course is the continuation of Anatomy 1, and consists
of the systematic dissection and study, by essentially the same methods,
of the parts not studied during the first year. Mr. Waddell.
Physiology.—Four hours weekly of lectures, recitations, and demonstrations
throughout the year; six hours weekly of laboratory work in
the fall and winter terms. The physiology of muscle and nerve; blood
and lymph; the circulation; respiration, secretion; digestion and nutrition;
excretion; the sense organs; and the central nervous system. The
laboratory is equipped with kymographs, induction coils, signals, muscle
and heart levers, tambours, manometers, etc., for thirty men working at
one time in pairs. The work of the laboratory closely follows the lectures
and is an integral part of the study of each subject. The student becomes
practically acquainted with the methods of modern physiological investigation
and is required to hand in tracings or other records together with
full descriptions of his experiments. The satisfactory completion of the
laboratory work is as necessary to a clear record on the course as is the
passing of the final examinations.
Open only to students who have obtained a grade of seventy per cent.
in Histology and in Physiological Chemistry. The satisfactory completion
of the laboratory work of this course is necessary for admission to
Pharmacology. Dr. Hough, Mr. Irvin and Mr. Porter.
Bacteriology and Pathology.—Thirteen hours weekly throughout the
year.
In Bacteriology the student is taught to prepare culture media and
to employ the usual methods necessary for the isolation and identification
of bacteria, and he learns the biological peculiarities of the microörganisms
concerned in the common bacterial diseases.
After a few days have been spent in the making of culture media,
sterilization, etc., the general technic is learned by isolating the bacteria
from the air and from exposed surfaces. Following this, the pathogenic
bacteria are taken up serially. Those receiving special attention are the
bacteria concerned in wound infections, in respiratory and intestinal
diseases, and in tuberculosis.
With several diseases the pathogenic action of the bacteria is studied
directly upon animals, the anatomical changes are observed, the bacteria
are recovered, and the diseased tissues are prepared by the student for
microscopic examination.
The lectures which accompany the laboratory work are designed to
set forth clearly the relation which bacteria bear to disease, to immunity,
and to preventive medicine.
The course in Pathology extends from January to June. The greater
part of the practical work is devoted to the study of the microscopic
changes occurring in disease. This is supplemented by the study of autopsy
material and museum specimens. Wherever it is possible the development
and progress of the lesions are studied experimentally. The practical work
includes the consideration of the vascular disturbances, degeneration, inflammation,
regeneration, and of benign and malignant tumors. The
diseases produced by animal parasites are considered briefly. During the
course the student has an opportunity to learn the standard methods
employed in preparing tissues for microscopic examination, and he is called
upon to witness and assist in the autopsies.
A lecture precedes the practical work each day and in addition selected
topics are discussed more fully in a series of lectures.
Both in Bacteriology and Pathology frequent recitations are held, and
the standing of the student is determined largely from these and from
the character of his daily work.
In addition to the courses outlined above, there will be opportunities
for qualified students to engage in special work.
The work in Pathology is open only to students who have obtained a
record of eighty per cent. on Histology. Dr. Marshall, Dr. Thalhimer,
Mr. Woodberry and Mr. Bray.
Pharmacology.—Five hours of lectures, recitations, and demonstrations
and six hours of laboratory work weekly during the third term.
In this course a study is made of the chemical characteristics and physiological
action of representative drugs from the different pharmacological
groups. The satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of Physiology
is required for admission to the course. For the present year in charge
of Dr. Hough.
Physical Diagnosis.—Four hours weekly during the spring term.
Instruction is given in the principles and methods of physical examination.
Attention is especially given to study of the normal subject. Dr. Flippin.
THIRD YEAR.
Materia Medica.—Three hours of lectures and recitation and four
hours of laboratory work weekly during the first term of the third year.
The more important drugs and preparations of the Pharmacopea, together
with newer non-official which bid fair to attain or have attained considerable
use, form the subject of study. In the laboratory the student becomes
familiar with the pecularities and methods of preparation of the different
preparations of the Pharmacopea, as well as solubilities and other characteristics
of the more important drugs. Especial attention is paid to
chemical and pharmaceutical incompatibility. Prescription writing is
dealt with by lecture and frequent practical exercises. For the present
year in charge of Dr. Lambeth.
Toxicology.—An optional course consisting of one lecture and four
hours of laboratory weekly during the second term. The methods of
separation and identification of poisons. For the present year in charge of
Dr. Kastle.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the fall and winter
terms. In this course the student is made familiar with those modern
laboratory methods which are practically helpful in the diagnosis of
disease. These include, among others, the systematic examination of
blood, sputum, urine, gastric contents, feces, exudantes, transudates, and
milk. The student is not only required to understand the methods employed
in such examinations, but by practice to acquire the skill necessary
for accurate results. The instruction is given in the new Clinical Laboratory,
situated in the north wing of the Hospital. This laboratory is well
equipped with instruments and apparatus, and the wards of the Hospital
furnish ample material for the proper presentation of the subject. Dr.
Flippin and Mr. Cabaniss.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures
and recitations throughout the year; nine hours weekly in the clinics
for one half the session. A systematic course of lectures, supplemented
by work in the Dispensary and Hospital. The class is divided into two
sections, each of which devotes itself for half the year to the medical
service in the Dispensary and also twice a week receives instruction on
selected cases in the wards of the Hospital. There is a general medical
clinic once a week in the hospital amphitheater for the third and fourth
year students. Dr. Davis, Dr. Flippin, Dr. Magruder, Dr. Nelson.
Surgery and Gynecology.—Five hours weekly of lectures and recitations,
and two hours weekly of surgical clinic throughout the session,
with six hours weekly in the Dispensary for one half the session.
The study of Surgery begins in the third year and continues through
the fourth year. In the third year the class room work consists of
lectures and recitations, as arranged in the schedule, in which the Principles
and Practice of Surgery, Surgical Diseases, Surgical Diagnosis, etc.,
are thoroughly discussed. This also includes the surgical specialties,
Orthopedics, Genito-urinary Surgery, etc.
The Dispensary course in the third year gives opportunities for
diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases under close personal supervision.
Experience in dressings, bandaging, anesthesia, and minor surgery is
afforded. Surgical appliances and technique are demonstrated to the
students, divided into small groups.
The work in Gynecology follows closely the outlines already described
for surgery. The general principles of gynecology are taken up in lectures
and recitations. In addition, the dispensary affords practice in palpation,
diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Watts and Dr. Goodwin.
Obstetrics.—Three hours weekly of lectures, recitations, and manikin
demonstrations during the year, supplemented by work with living subjects
in the wards of the Hospital.
The class is divided into sections of five for manikin instruction
and for examination of patients in the Hospital. The manikin course
forms an important part of the work, not only for teaching presentation,
position, and posture, but also the mechanism of normal and abnormal
labor and the application of forceps. When the section is taken into
the wards of the Hospital, the methods of examination, particularly
abdominal palpation, are practiced on the living subject. Dr. Macon.
FOURTH YEAR.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—The same plan is followed in the
clinical work as that already described for the third year, each of the
two sections of the class devoting itself for half the year to the medical
case, thorough examinations made, and management indicated by the
students of each division. The records thus obtained are kept up by the
student assigned to the case, which he is expected to follow until its
discharge. The accuracy and completeness with which this is done constitutes
a large element in the determination of fitness for graduation.
The subjects treated with the approximate division of time between
them are as follows:
Nervous Diseases and Insanity.—Three lectures and recitations
weekly supplemented by clinical work during the fall term. In this
course is given also instruction in electro-therapeutics. Dr. Davis.
Pediatrics.—Three lectures and recitations weekly supplemented by
clinical work during the winter term. This course of lectures is intended
to point out in a brief way how disease is modified by childhood and to
indicate how the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment due to early age
may best be encountered. The principles of infant feeding are emphasized
and the student is taught how to prepare the food. Instruction in the
practical details of the subject is given by work at the Dispensary and
in the wards of the Hospital. Dr. Davis and Dr. Rea.
Dermatology.—A brief course of lectures is given on this subject
embodying a consideration of the commoner diseases met with in medical
practice. At the Dispensary two clinics a week throughout the year
are devoted to the diseases of the skin. The senior class is divided
into sections for the work in this branch. After a brief review of the
anatomic and histologic structure and of the physiology of the skin,
the diseases most commonly met with are discussed.
The clinical material available at the University Dispensary is
utilized to the best advantage to give the students a practical working
knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of affections of the skin.
Dr. Davis and Dr. Rea.
Case Teaching, Medical Ethics and Economics, and Insurance
Examinations.—Two hours weekly during the spring term. Dr. Davis.
Therapeutics.—Two lectures weekly during the second half of the
year, with five hours weekly of ward rounds for one half the session.
The treatment of internal diseases is discussed in a systematic
course of lectures and practically demonstrated in the wards of the
Hospital. Especial attention is given to the clinical side of the teaching
of this subject, the student being required to suggest treatment
for cases assigned to him and to follow closely and make a record of
the results of the therapeutic agents employed throughout the course
of the disease.
The course includes a discussion of the preparation of food for the
sick; demonstrations of the preparation of stupes, plasters, and poultices;
and the methods of giving therapeutic baths, electrical treatment, massage,
and other therapeutic measures. Dr. Flippin.
Surgery and Gynecology.—Two hours weekly of surgical clinic
throughout the session; three hours weekly of ward classes, supplemented
by clinical work in the wards and operating room for one half the session
with each of the two sections of the class.
Instruction in Surgery is carried on by clinics and bedside demonstrations
in the hospital. In the wards the students are assigned cases,
whose histories they must take, make complete physical and clinical
examinations, urine analyses, blood examinations, etc. In the ward rounds
the diagnosis, operative and other treatment, post-operative care of the
cases, complications, prognosis, etc., are discussed in detail. A large
variety of cases is available, and the close contact of the students with
their cases and with the routine of hospital management offer many of the
opportunities that an internship affords.
In the operating rooms the students, in small groups, take part in
the operations, thus acquiring familiarity with technique, anesthetization,
etc. Those of the class who are not assisting, witness the operations, whose
important features are demonstrated to them.
In gynecology the students have the same general work as in surgery,
consisting of the examination and recording of cases in the public wards,
attendance on ward rounds, at which the cases are discussed, and observation
and assistance in the operating rooms. Dr. Watts and Dr. Goodwin.
In addition to the above course, required of all students, the following
elective course is offered in the Department of Surgery.
Surgical Pathology.—Two hours weekly during one half of the year.
The work in this course comprises lectures upon the pathology of surgical
lesions, with especial emphasis upon the clinical diagnosis of tumors and
inflammations, the examination of microscopic sections, and the study
of fresh tissues in the gross, obtained from the operating room. The
purpose of the course is to supplement the general courses in pathology
and surgery, and to acquaint the student with the appearance of fresh
pathological material from surgical cases. Dr. Goodwin.
Obstetrics.—The student attends, under the guidance of an instructor,
the labour cases in the Hospital, is required to prepare the history of
patients, and to follow up the cases through the puerperium. Instruction
is also given in the care of the new born. In addition the student has
the opportunity of attending patients in the outpatient department and
each student is expected to attend at least four cases of labour. Dr.
Macon.
Forensic Medicine.—One lecture weekly during the first term of the
fourth year. Dr. Lambeth.
Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat.—Two lectures weekly
from the beginning of the session to the first of March, supplemented by
regular clinics twice weekly throughout the year and clinical lectures
to sections of the class as suitable cases occur.
No attempt is made to train specialists, but every effort is made
to render the class familiar with such common diseases of the eye, ear,
nose, and throat as the general practitioner meets in his daily work.
To this end the class is divided into small sections and each student is
taught the methods of examination and the use of the ophthalmoscope,
head-mirror, and of the laryngeal and post-nasal mirrors. In the clinics
each patient is assigned to a student who must take the history and
keep the record of that patient; the case is then demonstrated by the
professor in charge, and, if possible, each student makes his own examination
under the personal supervision of the attending physician. Clinical
cases are abundant, and during the year the student sees and handles
practically all the common diseases of the eye, ear, and upper respiratory
tract.
At the operations in the Hospital only as many students are allowed
to be present as can really see and appreciate what is being done.
Valuable work is also given in the dissecting room, where the technic
of operative work is shown in a way that cannot be employed with the
living patient. Students do this work as far as possible for themselves,
especially in tracheotomy and intubation of the larynx.
Finally the attempt is made so to ground the student in the anatomy,
physiology, general pathology, and in methods of examination and treatment
that he may diagnose and treat intelligently many of the cases that
cannot afford to go to a perhaps distant specialist; that he may treat
successfully that large class of emergency cases that first come to the
general practitioner and in which immediate treatment is imperative; and,
lastly, that he may recognize and intelligently refer those cases that
need the services of one specially trained to this branch of work. Dr.
Hedges and Dr. Compton.
Hygiene.—Three hours weekly throughout the year.
The course begins with a historical sketch of the development of
preventive medicine, including short biographical sketches of the pioneers
of Hygiene. With this introduction the story of the natural history
of contagious and infectious diseases, modes of propagation and methods
of prevention engage the attention of the student. With this preparation,
the chemical and bacteriological contamination of food, water, air, and soil
is made an important study. Instruction is also begun in the proper location
special reference to the modern methods of heating, ventilating, and draining.
Notice is taken of the special relations involved in military and naval
hygiene. Dr. Lambeth.
FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH.
The Department of Medicine not only fosters in its methods of
instruction the inductive study by the student himself of the phenomena
presented by the human body in health and disease, but also encourages
the spirit of investigation of unsolved problems of medical science and
practice on the part of instructors and students. During the past few
years there have appeared annually a number of papers from its laboratories
embodying the results of such investigations, and it is the policy
of the department to enlarge this feature of its work in the future.
Students are encouraged to engage in research as they are prepared for
it, usually assisting an instructor in some special study or else conducting
the research under his guidance and advice. For this purpose the
scientific and clinical laboratories offer the necessary facilities and heads
of departments will always be glad to suggest and outline problems for
investigation by any medical student or by others possessing the necessary
training therefor.
The courses in these subjects are given during the present year by Professors
Lambeth, Hough, and Kastle.
THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL.
This Hospital is the property of the University, and is under the
exclusive control of its Medical Faculty. It was designed and is administered
as a teaching hospital, being so arranged that free use can
be made of its clinical material without in any way distributing or violating
the privacy of other patients.
The buildings are arranged upon the pavilion system, consisting
of a central structure, four stories in height, devoted to the purposes
of administration, and two wings. The administration building contains,
on the main floor, reception and consultation rooms, an amphitheater
and private operating rooms, with sterilizing and anesthetizing
rooms attached, and an X-ray room. The upper floors furnish accommodation
for the nurses of the training school, while the basement
contains the heating plant, laundry, kitchen, etc. From this building
corridors in three stories lead out to the wards. These wards, having
a capacity of about eighteen beds each, are beautifully lighted, have
direct indirect hot-water radiators, and forced ventilation. Opening from
each ward on the east is a large protected porch, of great value to
convalescents. The south wing has been in use for several years; the
new north wing, completed in 1907, gives the Hospital a capacity of
about 100 beds. The equipment throughout is new, and conforms in all
respects to the best usage of the day.
During the past year the number of patients has steadily increased,
and the range of influence of the Hospital has been greatly widened,
patients being received from all parts of the State.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that this hospital, with
its associated dispensary, constitutes a valuable adjunct to the teaching
facilities of the Medical School. The variety of cases presented, and
more especially the opportunities offered for a thorough study of the
individual case, afford unusually satisfactory conditions for clinical instruction.
HOSPITAL STAFF.

The Dispensary has been renovated and newly equipped, so that
it now affords the necessary facilities for conducting useful and scientific
clinics. In the past about fifteen hundred cases have been treated
annually, and this number should now increase. The students are
divided into small sections, and are required to examine, record, treat,
and follow each case that comes to the clinic. The work is done under
the close personal supervision of the various instructors, and gives
experience in handling patients which can only be obtained from actual
practice. The work is divided as follows:
| General Medicine, | Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3 to 5 P. M. |
| General Surgery and Gynecology, | |
| Genito-Urinary, | Tuesday and Thursday, 3 to 5 P. M. |

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL TRAINING
SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
This school was established in 1901, and its first class was graduated
in June, 1903. Its aim is to give young women, desirous of acquiring
the art of nursing, the same care and thorough training in their calling
which is now afforded young men studying the science of medicine.
Instruction in the primary branches of medicine is given to pupil nurses
by the professors in the Medical Department of the University of Virginia,
while the clinical instructors at the University Hospital give lectures upon
their respective courses. Three years is the required time for graduation,
and all candidates must enter prepared to go through the full course
of instruction and hospital training.
Candidates for the school should apply in their own handwriting to the
Superintendent of Nurses, University Hospital, University, Va. These
applications must be accompanied by certificates of good character, good
health, and sufficient education to profit by the instruction offered. No
candidate under twenty-one years of age, or over thirty-five, will be
received.

For admission to the regular Freshman Class in the Department
of Engineering the candidate must be at least sixteen years old. He
must present a certificate of honorable withdrawal from the school
last attended, or other valid proof of general good character. And he
must satisfy the Dean of the University as to his adequate preparation
for the work by passing the Entrance Examinations specified below or
by the presentation of equivalent certificates of preparation signed by
the President of a recognized institution of collegiate rank, or by the
Principal of an accredited high school. The topics required for entrance
and their values in units are as follows:
| English A.—Grammar and Grammatical Analysis | 1 |
| English B.—Composition and Rhetoric | 1 |
| English C.—Critical Study of Specimens of Literature | 1 |
| Mathematics A.—Algebra to Quadratics. | 1 |
| Mathematics B.—Quadratics, Progressions, Binomial Formula | ½ |
| Mathematics C.—Plane Geometry | 1 |
| Mathematics D1.—Solid Geometry | ½ |
| Mathematics D2.—Plane Trigonometry | ½ |
| History.—Ancient; Mediæval; English; American (any one) | 1 |
| Electives | 6½ |
| Total | 14 |
The candidate is recommended to include among his electives Physical
Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical Drawing, and Shop-work
(valued at one unit each). Other electives which may be offered are
History (3 units), Latin (4 units), German (2 units), French (2 units),
Spanish (2 units), Botany (half unit), Zoölogy (half unit).
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
The candidate who has satisfied the requirements for entrance as
above defined is matriculated as a student of Engineering and admitted
to the regular Freshman Class. The studies of this class comprise
lecture-courses in Mathematics 1, Chemistry 1, Engineering 1, with
associated laboratory courses in Chemistry, Drawing, Shop-work and
Field-work.
For advancement to the Sophomore Class the student must have
completed at least two thirds of his Freshman work. Upon entering
this class he elects his specialty. The courses thereafter diverge according
as the student is an applicant for a degree in Civil, Mechanical,
Electrical, Mining, or Chemical Engineering. Programmes of study
for each degree are given below.
The courses are so ordered that the specified entrance requirements
are adequate for the work of the Freshman Year. Each succeeding year
presupposes the completion of the work for all the foregoing years.
Students are advised to adhere strictly to the regular programmes.
The arrangements specified in them have been carefully planned and are
the best. Departures from the curriculum will in almost every case
produce conflicts in lecture hours or laboratory periods and may cost
the student a year's time. Haphazard election is discouraged and in
extreme cases will be prohibited. No student will be registered for a
course unless in the opinion both of the Dean and of the professor his
preliminary training has fitted him for the profitable pursuit of that
course.
Students are especially advised against the attempt to crowd too
many studies into their scheme of work, and are warned that admission
to advanced courses will be granted only to those who have adequate
mathematical and scientific training to profit by them. Men overloaded
with work, too great in volume or in difficulty for their powers, suffer
inevitable discouragement and incur almost certain failure.
Every candidate for a degree in Engineering will be required at the
beginning of his graduating year to submit to the Dean some subject
for independent study suited to the student's especial course and aims.
After such subject has been approved by the Dean and the Professor
in charge, the student will be expected to carry out for himself the
necessary literary and laboratory researches and to present his results
in the form of a Graduating Thesis. Such thesis must be typewritten
on standard sheets, 8 by 10½ inches, bound in a proper cover, and
handed in for final approval not later than May 25th. All necessary
computations and drawings must accompany the thesis. Serious weight
will be given to this work in estimating the student's fitness for graduation.
MATHEMATICS.
Mathematics 1. [Page.]
In Trigonometry, a complete course in Plane and Spherical Trigonometry
is pursued with constant drill in the solution of problems, and
exercises in the use of logarithms.
In Algebra, the work begins with the Progressions and proceeds with
the study of the Binomial Formula, Convergence and Divergence of
Series. The study of Inequalities and Determinants prepares for the
Theory of Equations with which the course is closed.
In elementary Analytical Geometry the study of Cartesian and
Polar Coördinates is followed by numerous exercises on the graphical
representation of equations. Special attention is given to the straight
line and the representation of the general equation of the first degree
in two variables. The course is intended to prepare for the fuller
study of the Analytical Geometry of the conic sections. Lectures, 9-10,
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Mathematics 2. [Echols].
The subject matter of this course consists of the Analytical Geometry
of the Conic Sections beginning with the circle; Differential Calculus;
Integral Calculus. It is expected to conclude the work in Analytical
Geometry early in November and then to take up the Differential Calculus
which is discussed until the March examinations. The last term of the
session is devoted exclusively to the Integral Calculus. Applicants for
advanced standing must pass a written examination on the topics of
Mathematics 1. Lectures, 12-1, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
PHYSICS.
Physics 1. [Hoxton].
General Physics.—This course includes Elementary Mechanics, Sound,
Light, Heat, Electricity and Magnetism. Instruction is given by textbooks
and lectures accompanied by experimental demonstrations. In
addition, recitations, solution of illustrative problems, and written reports
upon quantitative laboratory work done by the student are required.
Lectures, 11-12, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Laboratory, 9-11, Monday,
Wednesday.
Physics 2. [Hoxton].
Electricity and Magnetism.—The elements of the Mathematical
theory are developed, free use being made of the methods of the calculus.
The lectures begin, however, with fundamental principles of the subject.
Laboratory work more advanced than that in Physics 1 will be required,
occupying the student from four to six hours a week, and calling for the
more exact measurement of the chief physical quantities concerned.
Lectures, 1-2, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Laboratory, 3-5, Tuesday,
Thursday.
CHEMISTRY.
Chemistry 1. [Bird].
This class meets three times a week for lectures and works six
hours a week in the laboratory. It studies the fundamental principles of
of the time to the significant phenomena of Inorganic Chemistry. At
appropriate places the foundations of Analytical Chemistry are taught
and such special exercises are given as will emphasize the more important
chemical properties of the structural materials of Engineering, fuels, and
so on. No previous study of Chemistry is demanded; but to students,
who have received preliminary instruction in a chemical laboratory, the
exercises assigned are of a somewhat more advanced type. Lectures, 10-11,
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Laboratory, 12-2, Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday.
Chemistry 2. [Kastle and Edgar].
This course consists of two divisions: Part I in Organic Chemistry:
Part II in Physical Chemistry. The class meets three times a week for
lectures and works six hours a week in the laboratory. For Part II no
knowledge of the Calculus is required. Lectures, 9-10, Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday. Laboratory, 3-5, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Chemistry 3. [Bird].
This is a course in Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. There are three
lectures a week and at least nine hours a week must be devoted to
laboratory studies. Hours by appointment.
Analytical Chemistry 1. [Dunnington].
This course consists of three lessons a week throughout the session,
after each of which the students spend three or four hours in practical
experiments in the Laboratory. A course in Chemical Manipulation is
first given, then Blowpipe Analysis, Recognition of Ores, Fire Assaying
of Ores of Lead, Gold, and Silver, and a systematic course in Inorganic
Qualitative Analysis, followed by practice in the analysis of salts, alloys,
and ores, and the examination of potable water, coal, limestone, clay, and
so on, including some simpler quantitative determinations. Weekly written
exercises are required. Lectures, 10-11, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Analytical Chemistry 2. [Dunnington].
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. This course is primarily one in Quantitative Analysis.
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. Lectures, 10-11,
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
The laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during
all the working hours of the day.
Industrial Chemistry. [Dunnington].
This course is concerned with the applications of chemistry to the
purposes of human life. It examines in detail the chemical principles
and processes specially involved in the more important arts and manufactures;
as for example the Metallurgy of iron, steel, copper, and all
the important metals: the Manufacture of limes, cements, mortars, and
other building materials: the Chemistry of explosives, lubricants, paints,
and other preservatives. Exercises in chemical computations are regularly
required. Lectures, 3-4, Monday, Wednesday, Friday; 12, Tuesday.
The collections of the University in illustration of the processes

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS.
Written Examinations are held at the end of each term covering the
work of that term and the results of these examinations, combined with
the student's class standing, give his Term Grade.
Regular Reports are sent out at the end of every term to the student's
parent or guardian. These state for each course followed the term grade
and the number of absences. Further comment may be added by the
Dean or the Professor, if it appears probable that such comment would be
helpful to the student. Parents are urged to examine these reports carefully,
and to exert such parental influence as may seem needed to establish
and confirm the student in habits of industry and order.
Special Reports are sent to parents at the end of each month for
students delinquent in attendance or studiousness and for delinquents only.
When a student is making steady progress and showing due diligence in
his work only the regular reports are sent. The receipt of a special report
is evidence that, in the judgment of the Faculty, prompt and pointed
parental admonition is urgently needed.
Re-examinations are held during registration week in September. To
these re-examinations the Faculty will admit, on the recommendation of
his professor, any student of the previous session who in any course fell
below the pass mark of seventy-five per cent., but made at least sixty-five
per cent. at the regular examination. For every such re-examination
the student must pay to the Bursar on or before July 15th a fee of $5,
which fee is in no case returnable. The student who fails in any course
and does not make up his deficiency on re-examination will be required to
register anew for that course and attend the lectures and pass the regular
examination, unless relieved by special vote of the Faculty. The Dean will
send to every student eligible for re-examination a programme of the dates
of the September examinations.
DEGREES.
Upon the completion of the four years' course as defined in any one of
the Programmes of Study and the presentation of an acceptable graduating
thesis the Faculty will award to any student in regular and honorable
standing the appropriate Degree of Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer,
Electrical Engineer, Mining Engineer, or Chemical Engineer. In each
programme will be found the Topics of Study for the several years. The
hours for lectures and laboratory exercises will be found in the Schedule.
The dates for the examinations are given in the Examination Programme.

and laundry; the average is $25 a month, the minimum $18, and a reasonable
maximum $32. Books and Drawing Materials will cost about $80 for the
four year course. Incidental Expenses ought to be kept within modest
bounds; the above estimate is sufficient; large allowances of pocket money
promote idleness and attract companions of the baser sort. No allowances
are made for clothing or traveling expenses, which vary too much to be
introduced into any general estimate.
The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40);
Tuition and Laboratory Fees ($100); Contingent Deposit ($10); Books
and Instruments ($20); and one month's Living Expenses ($32-18). The
student will need at entrance about $200.
SPECIAL COURSE IN HIGHWAY ENGINEERING.
In recognition of the growing interest in Good Roads in Virginia and
the immense economic importance of the construction of such roads in all
parts of the Commonwealth, the courses of instruction relating directly
to this topic have been grouped together to form a Special Course in Highway
Engineering. This course is given in the Spring Term and embraces:
A. Location, Construction and Maintenance of County Roads and of
City Streets and Pavements, with laboratory tests of road
materials. [Newcomb].B. Plane Surveying with especial reference to land and topographical
surveying and to highway location. [Newcomb].C. Topographical Drawing, embracing contoured maps, colored topography,
map lettering, tracing and blue printing. [Hancock].D. Structural Drawing, with especial reference to county road bridges,
and to culverts and retaining walls for highways. [Thornton
and Gallalee].E. Field Surveying, with the adjustments and uses of the compass
transit, level and plane table. [Newcomb and the field
assistants].
The regular fees for this special course aggregate $40.00, but to a
limited number of adequately prepared applicants, citizens of Virginia,
nominated by the County Board of Supervisors of their respective counties,
free scholarships will be given. Such students pay only a registration
fee of $5.00, for the use of field instruments and laboratory apparatus.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCED STANDING.
Applicants from other colleges will be admitted provisionally to
advanced standing as candidates for a degree in Engineering upon presentation
of proper certificates covering the courses for which credit is desired.
Such certificates must be filed with the Dean, and must be acceptable both
to him and to the professors in charge of the accredited courses. The
certificate must bear the official signature of the head of the college; must
specify the character and content of the course followed by the student;
must give his marks, which should not fall below the standard seventy-five
per cent. of this University; and must recommend the student as worthy
of admission to the University of Virginia in respect of both character
and scholarship. The final validation of such a certificate is effected by
the successful completion of the courses attended in this university.
The programme of studies offered by such a candidate for his degree
in Engineering must satisfy all the requirements for that degree as here
established. He must devote at least two full sessions to engineering
studies in this university.
Credits on Practical Work will be allowed to applicants, who have
accomplished successfully courses in Drawing, Field-Work, or Shop-work
equivalent to those given in this university, or have acquired in professional
practice the training which these courses represent. To secure credit for
such work the student must make written application to the Dean of the
Department, and with this application must file the certificate of the chief
draftsman or other officer under whom the work was done.
Applicants for admission to the Engineering Department, who are over
twenty years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective
courses, must present adequate proofs of good character and of the
needful maturity and training. Such applicants are then registered as
Special Students, and are admitted without formal examination to the
privileges of the university, but not as candidates for any titled degree.
HUMANISTIC STUDIES.
Students, who have enjoyed the benefits of sound preliminary training
in good high schools, are advised in all cases to enrich and liberalize their
professional course by the introduction of humanistic studies.
Under the elective system of this university it is easy to plan a
schedule of work for a well-prepared marticulate, which will at the end
of six years give him in addition to his professional degree the general
culture degree of Bachelor of Science or of Bachelor of Arts. The additional
courses required are two languages (elected from French, German,
and Latin), one historical science (History or Economics), English Literature,
or Biblical History and Literature, and one philosophical science
(Logic, or Ethics, or Psychology).
The following is a sample schedule leading at the end of six years to
the two degree of B. S. and C. E.:
First Year—
Mathematics 1A, Eng. Lit. 1A, German 1A, Chemistry 1B.
Second Year—
Mathematics 2B, Eng. Lit. 2B, German 2B, French 1A.
Third Year—

The courses printed in italics are those added from the College.
DRAFTING ROOMS.
The drafting rooms are abundantly lighted and are provided with
solidly constructed tables with locked drawers for instruments and
materials. Each student is assigned to a table and has a drawer for his
exclusive use. The regular Drawing Classes execute each one plate a week
under the supervision of the Instructor in Drawing. The more advanced
students have such additional drawings assigned by their respective
professors as are needed for the full development of the courses of study.
Careful attention is given to the training of the students in lettering,
in the conventional signs of mechanical drawing, in the proper lay-out
of drawings, and in neat and accurate execution. Exercises are required
also in tracing and in blue-printing, the rooms for which are conveniently
arranged and in close contiguity to the drafting rooms. While, however,
technical dexterity is demanded, the graphical method is taught and used
primarily as a powerful and indispensable instrument of research, the
thoughtful mastery of which is essential for the instructed Engineer.
The construction and theory of the Polar Planimeter, the Slide Rule,
and the Pantograph are carefully taught, and the student is trained in the
practical use of these appliances for the rapid and accurate production of
estimates and copies from finished drawings.
SHOPS.
The Shop Equipment is throughout of the best quality, the machines
being all from good makers and of sizes ample for the purposes of instruction.
A full outfit of hand tools is maintained at all times. Each
shop is equipped for the instruction of a squad of sixteen students, this
being as large a number as one instructor can properly direct at once.
The Machine Shop is provided with four first-class engines lathes,
illustrating the practice of the best American makers; with a planer, a
shaper, two drill presses, a universal drilling machine (Brown and Sharpe),
and a universal grinder (same makers); also with a gas forge for tempering
tools, a cut-off saw for metal rods, an emery wheel, and so on.
The Wood Shop is furnished with several small lathes, a large pattern
maker's lathe, a jointer, a planer, a saw bench for slitting and cross-cutting,
a band-saw, jig-saw, and a wood trimmer for pattern making.
The Foundry has a cupola furnace for working cast iron, a brass
furnace, a core oven, and all needful accessories for moulding and casting;
the blast for the cupola is furnished by a special blower, driven by a small
high-speed steam engine.
The Forge Room is equipped with Buffalo down-draft forges; and the
necessary smith's tools; the draft is furnished by an engine-driven blower,
and the exhaust is operated by a fan driven also by the engine.
Shop instruction is given for its educational value. The purpose of
this Department is to train engineers, not artisans; and the claims of
the shops are not permitted to infringe on the truly vital functions of the
laboratories, the drafting rooms, and the lectures.
FIELD INSTRUMENTS.
The outfit of Field Instruments contains compasses, transits, and levels
of various approved makes; a solar transit, furnished also with stadia
wires and gradienter for tachymetric work; hand-levels and clinometers
for railway topography; plane tables; a sextant; together with an
adequate supply of leveling rods, telemeter rods, signal poles, chains, tapes,
pins, and so on. For hydraulic work and hydrographic surveys a hook
gauge and a current meter are provided. All students are instructed in
the theory and adjustments of the field instruments and in their practical
use in the field. They are also required to make up their field-books in
standard forms; to reduce their surveys and execute all the necessary
profiles, plans, and maps; and to determine lengths, areas, and volumes
both from the maps and from the original notes. Polar planimeters are
provided for facilitating such estimates and a pantograph for making
reduced copies of finished drawings.
ROAD MATERIAL TESTS.
In the Road Material Tests the machines used are mainly those
devised by Dr. Logan Waller Page, director of the United States office
of public roads. For measuring the strength of the stone cylindrical
samples are cut out with a diamond drill and tested under impact and in
a 40,000-pound compression machine. The resistance to abrasion is
measured on fragments of the stone, rotated in heavy cast iron cylinders
mounted on their diagonals. The binding power of the dust is measured
by impact tests on cylindrical briquettes formed under heavy hydraulic
pressure. The dust for these briquettes is produced in a ball mill fed with
fine stone broken in a small crusher. This part of the testing outfit has
been installed largely by the generous aid of Dr. Page. Useful experimental
researches on the road-building rocks and gravels of Virginia are carried
out with it each year, as well as class demonstrations of the standard
tests for road materials.
LABORATORY WORK IN STRENGTH OF MATERIALS.
The Sinclair Laboratory for work in Strength of Materials.—This
was founded on the original donation of Mrs. John Sinclair, of New
York City, as a memorial to her late husband. The collection has since
100,000 pounds capacity, arranged for tensile, compressive, and transverse
tests; an Olsen torsion machine of 50,000 inch pounds capacity; an Olsen
compression machine of 40,000 pounds capacity; a Ewing tester for the
elasticity of rods; hand machines for testing rods and wires under pull
and small specimens of timber and cast iron under transverse loads; Fair-banks
and Olsen cement testers of 1,000 pounds capacity each; apparatus
for torsional tests on both long wires and short wires; together with the
necessary accessory apparatus for utilizing these machines.
LABORATORY AND FIELD-WORK IN HYDRAULICS.
The equipment for this work comprises a steel tank for weir experiments
with adjustable bronze notches; a hook gauge for accurate measurement
of surface levels; a cast-iron stand pipe for experiments on efflux
with adjustable bronze orifices; a series of pipes with bends, elbows, and
tees for measuring pipe friction; and the proper manometers and gauges
for reading pressures. For the field-work the outfit of field instruments
has been enlarged by a current meter of modern construction and a set
of hollow copper ball floats for direct stream velocity measurements.
ENGINE AND BOILER TESTS.
The Steam Engine Tests are made on the high-speed Ball engine,
which operates the shops. This motor has been specially equipped for the
purpose. It receives steam from the main line through a Sweet separator;
humidity determinations are thus made twice—once by a separating calorimeter
before the steam enters the separator, and again by a throttling
calorimeter as it enters the cylinder. It is fitted with proper indicators,
and permanent indicator rigging so that at any time cards may be taken
and the indicated horse-power determined. In like manner a rope friction
brake is so arranged that it may be at once applied for the determination
of brake horse-power. Connections are so made with a Wheeler surface
condenser that the engine may at will be operated either condensing or
non-condensing. Provisions are made for measuring the temperatures and
the amounts of the condensation water and the condensed steam produced
during the run. With these data a complete heat balance of the experimental
run is attainable.
For Steam Boiler Tests the boilers of the university heating and
lighting plant are available. The department is equipped with the necessary
apparatus—thermometers, gauges, steam calorimeters, fuel calorimeters,
gas analyzers, scales, tanks, and so on. Students of Mechanical Engineering
are taught by practical lessons in the boiler room the standard methods
for boiler trials, and the class makes each session at least one complete trial.
The Gas Engine Tests are made on an Otto machine of 15 I. H. P.
and 12 B. H. P. This is also provided with its friction brake, indicator
and provision is made for observing not only its amount but the initial
and final temperatures. Gasoline or alcohol is used as fuel, and is run
in from a graduated wrought-iron bottle, so that the amount consumed is
determined. The heating power is obtained by an independent test with a
Rosenhain calorimeter. Samples of the burnt gases are drawn from the
exhaust pipe and analyzed in an Orsat gas apparatus. With these data,
and the observed numbers of revolutions and explosions, the heat balance
is worked out.
The Refrigerating Tests are made on a Remington Ice Machine of one
ton capacity. This is an ammonia compression machine driven by an
electric motor. Instead of brine, plain water is used, heated by a steam
jet to 100 degrees and then cooled down to 40 degrees by the machine. A
run is first made with the pipes empty in order to determine the friction
horse-power. The ammonia is then turned on and the run is made under
load. In both cases the power consumed is measured both by watt-meter
and by am-meter and volt-meter readings. The tanks are accurately
calibrated and careful measurements of the temperature are made through
the run. Indicator cards are also taken from the ammonia cylinders and
the number of revolutions is registered by counter. With these data the
mechanical and thermodynamic performance of the machine are figured out.
LABORATORY WORK IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The Scott Laboratory of Electrical Engineering.—This laboratory was
initially equipped and endowed by Mrs. Frances Branch Scott, of Richmond,
Va., as a memorial to her late son, an alumnus of this university. During
the past year, 1910, the equipment has been substantially increased
through the generosity of the Hon. Charles M. Crane, of Chicago, Ill., a
friend of the university.
In addition to full sets of electric meters with the appliances for
testing and calibrating them, galvanometers of the best modern types,
standard cells and resistances, standard condensers, and other pieces of
apparatus for minor tests, it contains numerous pieces of the very best
construction. Such are the Wolff Potentiometer, the Siemens and Halske
Thomson Double Bridge, the Koepsel Permeameter, the Duddell Double
Projection Oscillograph, the Station Photometer with Lummer-Brodhun
screen, the Carey-Foster Bridge and others.
For the work in machine testing there are a number of direct current
generators and motors, series, shunt and compound, an interpole motor, a
double current generator, a two phase alternator, a General Electric experimental
test set for alternating current comprising a generator furnishing
single, two, three, six or twelve phase current and in addition offering
three types of induction motors with all necessary starting and controlling
devices, a single phase repulsion motor, a two phase induction motor, two
a constant current transformer, a frequency meter, power factor indicator,
synchronism indicator, ground detector and the auxiliary apparatus used
in testing these machines.
The laboratory is being rapidly arranged with a system of universal
plug and receptacle connections to facilitate the setting up of all experimental
combinations.
The laboratory work is carried on in squads or groups of two or
three students and the work is so arranged that each student will become
familiar with all the details and connections of any particular test. A
most important feature of the laboratory instruction is the required
preparation of a preliminary report on each experiment before the actual
test is carried out. These preliminary reports are written up in the
classroom at assigned hours and consist of a complete résumé of the test
under discussion. The object, the theory, the scheme of connections necessary,
the choice of measuring instruments and all auxiliary devices needful
for the proper performance of the experiment are here worked out and
this preliminary report is handed in for correction or approval. After
approval the test is assigned for a definite laboratory hour and the work
is then carried through. A final report is then handed in consisting of the
preliminary and the additional data in tabulated and in graphical form.
Such a final report comprises a complete text on any given experiment
and will prove of great value in later work in commercial fields.
It is recognized that the outlined method for laboratory work is of
the greatest benefit to the student inasmuch as it requires a thorough
understanding of any given test, and at the same time inculcates habits
of self-reliance and a spirit of originality which cannot prove to be other
than beneficial in the later work when the engineer must rely upon his
own ingenuity to a great extent.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings devoted wholly or in part to the work of the Department
of Engineering are the following:
The Mechanical Laboratory is the main seat of the instruction in
technical studies. It is 180 by 70 feet and contains on the main floor
the Dean's office and the offices of the three adjunct-professors; the main
lecture room; the laboratory of electrical engineering; and the drafting
room for the First and Second Year students. Above are a smaller drafting
room for advanced students, and blue-print and photographic rooms. Below
on the ground floor are another classroom, the reading-room, the testing
laboratory, the wood shop, the metal shop, apparatus and store rooms, the
tool room, and the students' lavatory.
The Power House is a single-story building 110 by 40 feet. In addition
to the university boiler plant and the electric lighting plant this contains
horizontal return-tubular boilers, each of 140 horse-power. The lighting
plant consists of three electric generators directly connected to high-speed
engines, the respective capacities being 25, 50, and 75 kilowatts. The
whole plant is available for purposes of instruction, study and experiment.
The Laboratory of General Chemistry, situated at the southern end
of West Range, is one of the older buildings recently remodelled and
fitted up for the work of instruction in undergraduate chemistry. It is
furnished with all the necessary apparatus and supplies, and is comfortably
heated and lighted. The engineering students, who are taught in a separate
section, have three hours in lecture each week and six hours in the laboratory.
The work is specially adapted to their needs. The room used for
work in Organic Chemistry is at the northern end of West Range.
The Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry is 150 by 60 feet. It is a
single-story building, containing the lecture room, the laboratory of
analytical chemistry, the rooms for assaying, the balance rooms, the offices
and private laboratories of the professor of Industrial and Analytical
Chemistry, and a number of store rooms. These contain not only the
usual laboratory supplies, but an extensive collection of specimens, illustrating
very completely the processes and products of industrial chemistry,
and of especial interest to engineering students.
The Geological Museum is 120 by 50 feet. It is a three-story building.
The main floor is devoted to the very extensive geological collection of
specimens, charts, relief maps, and so on. The gallery above contains an
equally good collection of minerals and numerous models of typical
crystallographic forms. The upper floor contains the lecture rooms and
the new laboratories of Economic Geology. In the basement are stored
subsidiary collections and new material accumulated in more recent
geological surveys.
The Physical Laboratory faces the Mechanical Laboratory on the
opposite side of the quadrangle, and has almost the same proportions. The
main floor contains the lecture room, the professors' offices, the laboratory
of experimental physics, and the store room for the very large collection of
apparatus used in the lectures. On the ground floor is the laboratory of
theoretical electricity, the storage battery room, a well-equipped shop for
the repair and manufacture of apparatus, and numerous smaller rooms
for the work of graduate students.

The Department of Agriculture is founded on the gift of one hundred
thousand dollars by the late Samuel Miller, of Lynchburg, Va.; this
sum having been given to establish a fund, the income of which should
be applied, as far as practicable, to the maintenance of experiments
in agriculture, training in the art of farming, and instruction in those
sciences which underlie that art, as well as in their practical relations
thereto. Since the income in question is manifestly inadequate to provide
for all these important ends in an efficient manner, it has become necessary
for those directly charged with its administration to decide how
it can be most usefully applied within the limits indicated.
Agriculture is the art of cultivating the soil with a view to profit;
as usually applied, the term implies the successful raising and marketing
of crops of plants or of animals, or of their products. Its theory
is based directly upon the sciences of Chemistry, Botany, and Zoölogy;
and also, but less directly, upon the allied sciences of Physics, Mechanics,
and Geology. Education adapted to the prosecution of this vocation
calls, therefore, at the outset, for sound and thorough instruction in
these sciences; and subsequently for the discussion of its principles
and processes as based upon them. The experience of some years has
shown conclusively that neither agricultural experimentation nor instruction
in the routine of farm work can be profitably conducted here
with the means at command; nor is such application of these means in
accordance with the needs or expressed desires of students who come to
the university for the purpose of entering this department.
It seems wisest, therefore, as well as most consonant with the other
functions of the university, to apply the income of this fund to the
enlargement, as far as possible, of the opportunities here afforded to those
who desire to acquire a knowledge of the sciences on which the art of agriculture
is based, and of which it is the practical application; to understand
their theoretical principles, as well as their economic relations; and to be
capable of following their progress in all its bearings. Instruction is therefore
offered in this department to all who desire such training in the
descriptive and experimental sciences as this would imply, together with a
knowledge of the closely affiliated mathematical sciences, and of the
accordance with the following plan:
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
General Entrance Examination, or admission to the university by certificate
or diploma, as stated in a preceding portion of this catalogue.
Based upon this preparation the degree of Bachelor of Science will
be conferred upon students who satisfactorily complete one B course
each in Physics, General Chemistry, Botany, Zoölogy, Geology, and Analytical
Chemistry; together with an advanced course in each of any three
of the Schools represented by these courses; of one B course (to be elected
by the student) from the group of mathematical sciences, viz., Pure
Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Astronomy; and of the B courses
in French and German. The B courses are the same as, or the equivalent
of, the B courses described in a previous portion of this catalogue; the
advanced courses in the various scientific Schools have also been previously
described.
Agricultural Chemistry.—There is offered in connection with Course
3C (p. 135), in Analytical Chemistry a course of lectures in Agricultural
Chemistry, including a discussion of the chemical and physical properties
of the atmosphere, of soils, and of plants; the chemistry of the processes
of vegetable life so far as they are related to Agriculture; the chemical
composition and preparation of manures; the chemistry of stock feeding,
and of fungicides and insecticides. This course is open without charge
to students who have registered in Analytical Chemistry, to Virginia
students, and to farmers who are not matriculated students.
For Reference: Johnston's elements of Agricultural Chemistry; 17th edition;
London, 1894.
Practical Biology and Agriculture.—For courses in Practical Biology
and Agriculture see the Miller School of Biology, p. 136.
In this department, as in the college, the order in which courses
are taken is left largely to the discretion of the student: it is important,
however, that the more general or introductory courses be completed before
advanced work in any line is entered upon. The following is therefore
suggested as a convenient arrangement for a four years' course
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science as given in this department
under the conditions above stated: it is also intended to indicate the
large freedom of election from among the advanced courses in the Natural
Sciences that is open to the student in this department: it should, however,
be borne in mind that this is intended only as a suggestion and
not as in any sense a prescribed curriculum. It assumes that the student
pursuing it or a similar schedule has already completed (here or elsewhere)
the A courses in Mathematics, German, and French: if either of
these has not been completed, it should be included as an additional
course in either the first or the second year.
The courses named in the first years are all required, save in the
case of Mathematics 3B, for which substitution may be made of either
Astronomy 1B or Applied Mathematics 1B. The courses named in the
first two years should as a rule be completed in those years, though not
necessarily in the order suggested.
First Year:
German 1B; Physics 1B; Botany 1B;
Second Year:
French 1B; Chemistry 1B; Zoölogy 1B;
Third Year:
Mathematics 3B; Analytical Chemistry 1B; Geology 1B;
Fourth Year:
Elective; Elective; Elective.
The advanced courses from which the electives (here assigned to
the fourth year) may be chosen are as follows:
Botany and Agriculture 1B; Botany 2C, 3C, or 4C; Zoölogy and
Agriculture 1B; Zoölogy 2C, 3C, or 4C; Geology 2C; Economic Geology
3C; Analytical and Agricultural Chemistry 2C; Chemistry 2B; Chemistry
3C; Physics 2C; Mathematics 5C; Astronomy 2C, 3C, or 4C; and
Applied Mathematics 2C.
Any of these courses may be offered. The candidate for a degree in
this Department is, however, strongly advised to choose as early in his
course as practicable a special field of work, and to put himself under
the advice of the professor with whom such work chiefly lies as regards
both the choice of his electives and the order of the prescribed studies
that will be most advantageously pursued in his individual case.
MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS.
A scholarship is awarded at the end of each session to the candidate
who at that time passes the graduation examinations in the B courses
in Zoölogy, Chemistry, and Physics with the highest aggregate of marks.
The scholarship is tenable for the following two years. The emoluments
consist of $250 a session, with free tuition in the Schools of the Department
of Agriculture. The holder of a Miller Scholarship is required to
elect at least one-third of his work in Biology and Agriculture, Analytical
Chemistry, or Applied Mathematics, and the remainder from any courses
offered in the Academic Schools: he is also required to act as a student
assistant in the Biological Laboratory. The tenure of the scholarship
depends upon the good conduct and studious diligence of the scholar,
the Faculty being authorized to withdraw its benefits from any student
who does not avail himself of the opportunities for study which it is intended
to secure. Candidacy must be announced at the beginning of
the session.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOL
OF 1911.
The Session will begin Monday, June 19th, and close Saturday, July
29th, 1911. Monday, June 19th, will be devoted to the registration of
students. All students should register on this day. The entire faculty
of the Summer school will be in the room adjoining the Registrar's office
during June 19th for consultation. Students should consult freely with
members of the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing courses. No
certificate will be granted to students who fail to register before Saturday,
June 24th.
Fees.—No Registration fee will be charged. The tuition fee will
consist of $5.00 for each course taken, except in the Elementary Department,
where a fee of $5.00 admits the applicant to all courses. The
Department of Public Instruction of Virginia has provided by donation
that Virginia teachers shall be entitled to all of the courses in the
Elementary School for a single fee of $3.00. Further exception is made
to the $5.00 fee in certain other courses where a special fee is mentioned
in connection with the outlined course in the Summer School Catalogue.
Before being enrolled in a class each student is required to register and
to pay all fees. No reduction of fee will be allowed for late entrance or
withdrawal. Laboratory fees will be charged in all courses in which
materials are required to be used by students or demonstrators.
Credit.—Certificates will be granted in each course in the University
Department to those students who attain a grade of 75%. This grade
will be allowed to take more than three courses without the permission
of the Director.
As a rule, students wishing University credit should not attempt
more than two courses in one summer: they must receive in all cases
permission to take more than three. In registering, students should state
what credit they desire, as arrangements for credit must be made before
taking the course.
1. Professional Certificate.—The following regulations with reference
to credits toward the Professional Teaching Certificate in Virginia have
been passed by the Board of Examiners: "Resolved, That those teachers
holding first grade or high school certificates, who attend the Summer
School of the University of Virginia, or a Summer School of equal rank,
for two sessions of six weeks each, and who make an average of 75% on
class work and examinations, in six courses, other than elementary school
subjects, shall be entitled to the Professional Certificate which shall
continue in vogue for seven years, subject to renewals from time to time."
These six courses would necessitate the work of at least two sessions
and must include at least four different subjects. No course may be
counted toward a professional certificate without the sanction of the
Director or Registrar. No course may be counted toward the professional
certificate unless the student has previously registered for that course and
paid the fee of five dollars due for such course, receiving a card of admission
signed by the Registrar and by the Bursar.
2. Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application
has been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Board of Examiners. Credits are now allowed
toward the extension of the certificates by certain other States. In some
the University Summer School instructors are appointed to hold State
examinations. In others arrangements may be made upon application
of the teachers from those States. All persons wishing to arrange for
Summer School credits with their respective school authorities should
correspond with the Director of the Summer School.
3. University of Virginia Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted for work
done in the Summer School.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can receive
credit in the College for any work done in the University of Virginia
Summer School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the courses
in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations in the same
subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are equivalent to
that the certificates of courses completed be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion of
summer courses in lieu of A courses in the University of Virginia, provided
that such summer courses be approved by the University of Virginia
professor concerned as the full equivalent in character and scope of the
corresponding A courses in the University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions of B
courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College, the Faculty
Committee on Degrees, and the professor in charge of the courses for
which credit is desired certify in writing that the summer courses completed
are equivalent in character and scope to that portion of the regular
sessional work for which credit is desired.
(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75%) required for their successful completion shall be the same as those
of the sessional examinations.
Teachers' Positions.—The University Appointment Committee receives
more demands for men teachers than it is ever able to fill. This Committee
will be glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance
upon the Summer School leave their applications with the Director, who is
a member of the Committee.
Board and Rooms.—Board and rooms may be had at prices ranging
from $3.50 per week, where several stay in the same room, upwards,
according to accommodations, the average being $4.50 per week. Many
of the boarding-houses are situated on, or immediately adjoining, the
university grounds. A limited number of students may, upon application,
procure rooms in the university buildings at a nominal rental to cover
actual expenses of furniture and attendance. The Commons, the handsome
new dining hall on the university grounds, is now at the service of
Summer School students. The cost of board in the dining hall will not
exceed $4.00 per week. Applications should be made as early as possible.
Reduced Railway Rates.—All students coming to the Summer School
from points south and west of Virginia should apply several weeks in
advance to their local agents for reduced rates. In case the agent has
received no instructions for selling reduced rate tickets to Charlottesville,
Virginia, the Director of the Summer School should be written to promptly
for information.

THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
[In the Rotunda.]
| JOHN SHELTON PATTON | Librarian |
| ANNA SEELEY TUTTLE, B. A. | Assistant Librarian |
| ELLA WATSON JOHNSON | Assistant |
| BENJAMIN EARL WASHBURN | Assistant |
The various libraries of the university are placed as follows: the
general library, the chemical, the Hertz classical, the medical, and the
Isabel Mereein Tunstall Library of Poetry, in the Rotunda; the astronomical,
in the Leander McCormick Observatory; the biological and botanical,
in the Biological Laboratory; the engineering, in the Mechanical Laboratory;
the geological, in the Lewis Brooks Museum of Natural History;
the law, in the new Law Building; the mathematical, in Cabell Hall; and
the physical, in the Rouss Physical Laboratory.
The general library is for the use of the corps of instruction and administration
of the university and the students in all departments of the
institution. The students, in particular, are urged to give it as much
time as they can afford. The collection contains about 70,000 volumes,
including the standard books of history, literature, and science, and is
particularly rich in materials for the study of social and economic achievements
and tendencies. The reference section is well supplied with encyclopedias
and other sources of information.
The general library is open daily, Sunday excepted, from 9 a. m. to
4 p. m.
Books may be lent only to the following classes of persons: (1)
Regularly matriculated students; (2) members of the faculty and officers
of the university; (3) persons whose former official connection with the
university entitles them to consideration, and (4) other persons who
deposit $5.00 and pay a fee of $1.00 a year, or shorter time. The deposit
will be returned on request, less penalties, if any, for detention or injury
of books. In this class, applicants for the privilege of borrowing books
must be recommended by a professor or an officer; but no professor or
officer can borrow books for the use of others.
No book may be taken from the library until it has been charged at
the desk. Usually books are lent for two weeks, but there are exceptions,
and the loan expires on the date stamped in the book. It may be renewed
unless another person entitled to the privileges of the library has applied
for it.
Books of the reference collection are not to be removed from the
library, but may be freely consulted. All bound magazines are classed as
reference books.
Books in current general use in connection with any course of instruction
will be temporarily placed on the reference shelves and made
subject to the above rule.
Reference works, and books of special value or peculiarly liable to
injury, are not available for circulation.
New periodicals are withheld from circulation until one month after
they are placed on the shelves.
