Research. Every graduate student in Chemistry is expected to carry on
research. No special courses are listed, as the nature of the work and the
credit received, will vary with the time spent upon it, the previous training
of the student and the degree for which the student is applying. At present
researches are under way in the laboratory in the fields of catalysis; adsorption;
organic equilibria; ionic equilibria; photochemistry; colloid chemistry;
rate of flow of gases; organic synthesis, and other problems in organic
chemistry.
The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest in current
chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are in progress in the
University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced students in
chemistry are expected to participate in these meetings and to take part in
the discussions. The privileges of the club are extended to all members of
the University and others who are interested in the progress of Chemistry.
The Chemical Laboratory, recently completed, is of brick, fire-proof
construction, and the three floors afford 30,000 square feet of space. The
seven larger laboratories will accommodate 625 students, and, in addition to
these there are smaller laboratories for the use of the instructors and advanced
students. There are also rooms for assay furnaces, gas and water
analysis, photography, etc. The equipment is satisfactory for purposes of
both instruction and research. The laboratory maintains a working library
containing about 4,000 volumes directly relating to chemistry as well as complete
files of the more important periodicals.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: In addition to
fulfilling the regular University requirements for the Degree of Doctor of
Philosophy, candidates for this degree who select chemistry as their Major
Subject must give evidence of thorough training in the general principles of
written qualifying examinations in these subjects; these examinations to be
passed not later than the close of the session preceding that in which it is
expected that the degree will be conferred.

The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so as to
exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same time offers a large
variety of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens show the
different kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and the
formations in which they occur, the collections of fossils, plaster casts,
maps, etc., are exceptionally fine, and fully illustrate historical geology. In
mineralogy the principles of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits
of specimens, models of crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals
contains all the important species, and many of the rarer ones, in good
specimens. In addition to the above, a beginning has been made of a collection
to illustrate the geology and mineralogy of the State of Virginia,
and this is being increased as rapidly as possible.

SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.
All students registered in the College are required to take two years of
physical training, which must be completed by the end of the student's second
year. This regulation applies to those who are preparing for the study
of medicine, law, engineering or other profession, as well as those applying
for academic degrees. Exception to this regulation can only be obtained
through the Director of Physical Education, with the consent of the Dean of
the College.
Regulations.—Each college student must present himself to the medical
examiners at the Memorial Gymnasium immediately after completing his
registration, for examination and classification. This examination is free for
a period of ten days after registration, after which date a fee of five dollars is
charged.
Physical defects are not accepted as sufficient reason for failing to register
for physical training since group or individual exercises will be prescribed
in such cases.
Men who can pass the test for advanced standing may elect to exercise
under the coaches of first year squads. In such elections credit will be allowed
in only one quarter for any sport, and credit is allowed only on report
of complete attendance by the manager of the team squad.
Absences.—All excused absences must be made up, hour for hour, during
the quarter in which they occur. Two hours of work are required to
make up the unexcused absence. One hour of work makes up for two marks
in tardiness.
Advanced students from another college who offer credit for physical
training must present the evidence to the Director, in person.
The regulation uniform consists of white sleeveless shirt, kahki pants,
long blue stockings, rubber-soled shoes and sweat shirt.
