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 leading to the degrees of Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science; in the graduate courses is comprised
the work of the Department of Graduate Studies, leading to
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 (pp. 181-188); of the requirements for the other academic
degrees, under the Department of Graduate Studies (pp. 190-193).
The courses given in the academic schools are arranged as
Courses for Undergraduates, Courses for Graduates and Undergraduates,
Courses primarily for Graduates.
In the detailed account of the courses of the academic schools,
given in the following pages, the numbers and letters used to designate
a course have the following meaning:
The numbers indicate merely the relative position which the
course occupies in work of the grade indicated by the letters, and
have no application to the credit value of the course as work for any
degree.
The letters are used as follows:
A: a course for undergraduates. Latin A1, Greek A2, Mathematics
A1 and A2, English Literature A1 and A2 have a credit value
toward a baccalaureate degree of three session-hours each, to which
students who enter with advanced standing on any or all of these
subjects are entitled (see p. 180). The other A courses (Greek A1,
French A1, Spanish A1, German A1) have no credit value toward
a degree, but may be taken either to gain admission into the first
courses with a credit value offered in these subjects, or to remove
entrance conditions. (See p. 89.)
B: a course for undergraduates, with a credit value toward a
baccalaureate degree of three session-hours, except in the case of
courses in the scientific schools, which have a value of six session-hours
each.
C: a course for graduates and undergraduates.
D: a course primarily for graduates.
A term-course is a short course of three hours a week for one
of the three terms into which the academic year is divided. Such
courses have credit value as part of an elective-at-large, but not as
any part of a group-elective.
The Academic Schools are here arranged alphabetically.

MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Mr. Taliaferro.
Mr. Cash.
Mr. Williams.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The general
entrance requirements.
The biological sciences are here studied both from a morphological
and from a physiological standpoint. Prominence is given to the
histology, and as far as possible to the cytology and to the life-histories
(both ontogenetic and phylogenetic) of the organisms studied,
especially in the advanced courses in each of the two principal
sciences, with a view to the elucidation of the great fundamental laws
that underlie the phenomena of the life. The work of the school is
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 notebook
of approved pattern. Other necessary pieces of apparatus will
be issued to each student. Students taking undergraduate courses
in either Botany or Zoölogy are required to pay for each course, in
addition to the regular tuition fee, a laboratory fee of $5; the laboratory
fee in graduate courses is $10 for each course, in addition to the
regular tuition fees.
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.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Mr. Taliaferro.
For Undergraduates.
Botany B1: 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 algæ 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.
(B. A. or B. S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Lectures, Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 12-1. Laboratory, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday,
12-2. 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 seminar is also required. The course for the
year may be withdrawn 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
B1 is prerequisite for entrance upon either of these courses. The
courses offered are as follows:
Botany C1: Thallophytes.—This course will be devoted to the
study of the Fission-Plants: the Green Algæ (in the limited sense),
the Confervales, and Charales: the Bacillariales, Brown Algæ, and
Dictyoltales: the Red Algæ: the various orders of the Fungi, and
the Lichens. The Green Algæ 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.
Botany C2: 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.
Botany C3: Spermophytes.—The study of the Seed-Plant will
comprise a discussion and examination, 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.

and orders of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Annulata and Arthropoda.
Zoology C3: 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 classroom
work and to make histological preparations representing the fundamental
tissues of representatives of the group.
III. General Biology.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Mr. Taliaferro.
Mr. Cash.
Mr. Williams.
For Undergraduates.
Term Course in the Principles of Biology.—A course is here offered
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 two session hours, as part of the
elective-at-large for a B. A. or a B. S. degree.
Primarily for Graduates.
Students taking a graduate course in Comparative Anatomy are
required to pay, in addition to the regular tuition fee, a laboratory
fee of $20.
Biology D1: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Botany B1,
Zoölogy B1, 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 development in the lower and the higher animals,
or in a similar series 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 B1 and
Zoölogy B1.
IV. Biology and Agriculture.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Mr. Taliaferro.
Mr. Cash.
Mr. Williams.
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:

the natural resources of the country.
Among the more important subjects discussed are: the metallurgy
and uses of the principal METALS and ALLOYS, 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;
disinfectants, soap, paper, etc.
A clear comprehension of all lines of Industrial manufacture is
the aim proposed in this course, a preparation needed by students
lectures are designed to give some accurate information about materials
with which every one is concerned in daily life, it is judged
that they will afford a valuable addition to a general education.
The subjects specially related to Agriculture are treated of in different
portions of this course. There is a weekly quiz and weekly
written exercises are required. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3-4.

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,
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 GREEK.
Professor Webb.
Adjunct Professor McLemore.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The general
entrance requirements.
General Statement. The primary object of the courses open to
undergraduates in the School of Greek is to enable the student to
read and appreciate the masterpieces of Greek Literature. To that
end at least two entire hours of the three weekly meetings of each
course are devoted to the translation and interpretation of assigned
portions of text, and to the treatment of those broader questions
which must claim the attention of every intelligent student of literature.
The study of grammar will not be treated as an end in itself, but
the ability of the student to construe his authors satisfactorily will
be constantly tested. To insure further a practical familiarity with
grammatical principles, and to cultivate a feeling for idiom and style,
exercises in prose composition will form an important part of the
work of the undergraduate courses.
Finally, since it is desirable that the broader aspects of ancient
life be covered by the student in a more comprehensive way than
can be done in the regular lectures and recitations, collateral reading
in English on various subjects will be assigned for outside work,
and questions based upon this reading will be included in each examination.
For Undergraduates.
Greek A1: For beginners. This course is designed to meet the
needs of students who wish to gain in a short time a working knowledge
of Greek, either as an aid to the study of other subjects (e. g.,
languages, history, theology), or with a view to entering upon a
more extended study of Greek. It is to be especially noted that this
course is by no means intended to supplant the work of the secondary
schools, but to make good, so far as may be, the loss of those
students who have missed the much more normal and satisfactory
and thorough drill in the forms and fundamental principles of the
language, and of practice in translation, which receives an increasingly
large proportion of emphasis as the session advances.

CORCORAN SCHOOL OF HISTORY.
Professor Dabney.
Mr. Earnest.
Mr. Parrish.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The general
entrance requirements, which must include Unit A of history
(p. 82), for admission to this school.
Students with adequate preparation may enter any of the
courses in the School of History at the beginning of any term of the
session, and will receive full credit for the course on completing
the work of the remaining term or terms of the course in question
during some subsequent session.
The following courses are offered:
For Undergraduates.
The undergraduate courses in History will be based not only
upon the idea that "the proper study of mankind is man," and that,
therefore, all important human events, even those of the remote past,
are of interest to human beings, but also upon the idea that every
highly educated man should have an intelligent comprehension of
himself and the age in which he lives—which intelligent comprehension
it is as impossible to gain without a study of the past as it would
be to comprehend thoroughly an oak tree without studying the acorn
from which it sprang as well as the soil, climate and other features
of the environment that have modified its development in the course
of time. The barbarian tribes that overthrew the Roman Empire
were the acorns from which the modern national oaks have sprung;
and the literature, art, and thought of Greece, the law and the imperialism
of Rome, and the Christian religion are the chief influences that
have affected the development of these acorns through the centuries.
No man can have a scientific understanding of himself and the modern
world without a fair knowledge of these things; and every student
who desires such an understanding is therefore advised to take
at least the two courses, B1 and B2, in which they are treated.
Credit will be given for either course separately; and under special
circumstances both courses may be taken simultaneously.
History B1: General History to the close of the Middle Age.—
The chief topics treated will be Greek civilization, Roman imperialism,
the rise and spread of Christianity, Monasticism, the Barbarian
Invasions, the Papacy, the Holy Roman Empire, Feudalism, Mohammedanism,
the Crusades, and the early development of Nationalism
in Europe. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 10-11. Rotunda, N. W. Professor Dabney.
History B2: Modern History.—Course B1, or Units A and B of
History (p. 82) prerequisite.—The chief topics treated will be the Renaissance,
Puritan Revolution, the development of Spain, France, England
and Prussia, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Empire, and
the leading events of the nineteenth century. (B. A. or B. S. credit,
3 session-hours.) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 11-12. Rotunda,
N. W. Professor Dabney.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
History C1: History of the United States. Courses B1 and B2
prerequisite.—In addition to a considerable amount of reading, essays
or reports, based upon the sources as well as upon secondary authorities,
will be required. This course is required of students electing
History as one of their subjects for the Master's or Doctor's degree.
It may also be taken as an elective-at-large for the Bachelor's degree.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 12-1. Rotunda, N. W. Professor
Dabney.
Primarily for Graduates.
Only one of the two following courses will be given in any one
year. The first is broad and extensive, the second, minute and intensive.
History D1: Courses B1, B2 and C1 prerequisite.—Intellectual,
Moral, Religious and Social Development of Europe.—In addition
to critical discussions of, and written examinations upon a large
number of historical works, a critical essay upon each of them will
be required. Hours by appointment. Professor Dabney.
History D2: Courses B1, B2 and C1 prerequisite.—History of
the Reconstruction of the Southern States. A close study of the
sources as well as of the secondary authorities on this period. Hours
by appointment. Professor Dabney.
For summer-school courses in History, on which college credit
will be allowed, see p. 293.
SCHOOL OF LATIN.
Professor Fitz-Hugh.
Adjunct Professor McLemore.
Mr. Barton.
Mr. Nelson.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: Latin A,
B, C, and D of the general entrance requirements, p. 85.
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
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 culture, 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 the Latin language, 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.

Primarily for Graduates.
Latin D1: Course C1 or Course C2 or the equivalent of either, prerequisite.—This
course extends through three years and is intended
for those who desire to specialize for one, two, or three years in
classical philology. It contemplates especially the needs of those
who choose Latin as their major elective for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy. Roman civilization is the vital link between the
Hellenic and the Romanic, and hence Latin philology, which is the
philology on the one hand and with Romanic on the other. If the
candidate's major elective be Latin, a respectable familiarity with
Greek is required, since the language, literature, and life of the Romans
are saturated with Greek influence. If the candidate's major
elective be Romanic, the technical Greek requirement is waived as
far as practically possible, and he is guided into the history of the
Roman popular vernacular, the common source of the Romanic
tongues, and into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the
Vulgar Latin in literature.
Plan of Work.—It is the aim of this course, as far as the teaching
force and resources of the School permit, to prepare the candidate
to investigate independently the sources of our knowledge
of the language, monuments (literary and objective), and life of
the Romans. The following is therefore an outline of the course:
I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar (Giles,
supplemented by Hirt and Sommer on Sounds and Inflections and
by Brugmann and Schmalz on Syntax)—introduction to Latin historical
grammar (Lindsay, supplemented by Landgraf)—systematic
grammar (Kühner) with stylistic exercises, oral and written, in conjunction
with Cicero's De Oratore—reading of epigraphic and literary
monuments illustrating the history of the Latin Language.
II. In the Literary and Objective Monuments of the Romans:
Reading of authors in groups systematically planned to illustrate
the literary life of the Romans—history and interpretation of texts
—elements of palæography (Johnston, supplemented by Thompson),
epigraphy (Lindsay, supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat, numismatics
(Gnecchi, supplemented by Hill), topography and remains
(Platner, Petersen, Huelsen, Mau, Strack, Furtwængler).
III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history—reading
of authors illustrating the development of Roman civilization—study
of modern authorities in Roman culture-history
(Philippson, Nissen, Mommsen, Marquardt-Mommsen, Wissowa,
Preller-Jordan, Springer-Michaelis and Winter, Schanz, Windelband,
Sandys).
Friday, Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh,
Adjunct Professor McLemore.
Aids.—For the sake of first-hand access to important modern
authorities in Latin philology, the candidate is urged to acquire a
good reading knowledge of German, French, and Italian. Such a
mastery of German and French is imperative.
For summer-school courses in Latin on which college credit is
allowed, see p. 293.

and A2 at the opening of the session, to which any student registered
in the School of Mathematics will be admitted. To a student
successfully passing one of these examinations will be given a certificate
of proficiency in the work required in Course A1 or A2. Advanced
standing on the work of Course A1 or A2 will in general, be
granted a student entering from a secondary school only after he
has passed here the prescribed examination on the course in question.
Mathematics B1: Course A1 prerequisite.—This class meets
three times each week throughout the session. The work of the
course consists of an advanced course in trigonometry, taking up the
subject where left off in Course A1. The major portion of the session's
work, however, is given to the study of Analytical Geometry
of two dimensions in Cartesian and polar Coördinates. A special
study of the conic sections is followed by the study of a number of
classical curves. This course is required of all students who elect
mathematics for an undergraduate degree. (B. A. or B. S. credit,
3 session-hours.) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 11-12. Cabell Hall.

times each week during the nine months. The treatment of the
subject involves the operations of differentiation and integration of
functions, with applications to the expansion of functions in series,
evaluation of illusory forms, maximum and minimum values, the
applications to geometry of curves in the problems of tangency,
contact and curvature, curve tracing, arc length, and areas, the volumes
of revolutes and of special forms of other surfaces, areas of
surfaces of revolution, and finally the solutions of the more important
simple problems in ordinary differential equations. This course
is an elective-at-large for students applying for undergraduate degrees.
(B. A. or B. S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday, 12-1. Cabell Hall. Professor Echols.
Mathematics B3: Course A2 prerequisite.—This course is intended
for engineering students only. The class meets three times
each week throughout the session. The subject of Analytical Geometry
is taken up at the point left off in Course A2 and finished preliminary
to the Calculus. The subject of Differential and Integral Calculus
is taken up about November first and pursued during the remainder
of the session. Less stress is laid on the principles of the subject
than in Course B2, the main interest being the formal application of
the operations of the Calculus to the solution of problems with the
view of making the student familiar with these operations to enable
him to apply them to the problems of applied mathematics which
he is to meet in engineering. Credit to engineering students for
work done elsewhere in this course or any portion of it must be obtained
through application to and with the approval of the engineering
faculty. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Monday,

with the laboratory work in developing the basic principles of
accurate measurement. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 6 session-hours.)
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 9-10. Laboratory: Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday, 10-12. Rouss Physical Laboratory. Adjunct Professor
Sparrow.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Physics C1: Electricity and Optics. Physics B1, with the addition
of either Physics B2, Mathematics B2, B3 or the equivalent of these
courses prerequisite.—Electricity is given during the first half-year,
Optics during the second. The elements of the mathematical theory
and outlines of some of the modern conceptions of physics connected
particularly with these subjects are presented in the lectures. In the
laboratory, especial attention is paid to methods of measurement,
supplemented, however, by first-hand experimental studies of important
phenomena and principles. Laboratory work, four to six
hours per week. Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Associate Professor Hoxton.
Primarily for Graduates.
Physics D1 and D2: The work of these courses is of an advanced
type, designed to bring the student into touch with modern
methods of physical research. With this end in view the contents
of the courses will be varied from year to year, ranging over the
more important fields of physics in a cycle of about three years.
The formal preparation necessary for these courses will vary
somewhat with the nature of the subjects treated. What is necessary
is a certain maturity of mind with reference to the subject.
Course C1 will probably be unable to follow with profit any D course
dealing with the mathematical side of physics, while the student
who has not had the equivalent of the corresponding C course in
physics, will be unable to pursue a D course dealing with the experimental
side. For the session of 1913-1914 courses will be offered
in Advanced Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory, and in
Electromagnetic Theory. Hours by appointment. Associate Professor
Hoxton, Adjunct Professor Sparrow.
The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, specially
designed for and devoted to the work in physics. The building
throughout is characterized by structural stability. The rooms
are abundantly lighted, while some may be darkened at will. There
is a general distribution of water over the building, while all the
rooms are supplied with steam heat, gas, and electricity.
The equipment includes an exceptionally rich set of demonstration
apparatus, and a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory
instruction. In addition to this there is a special line of electrical
and optical instruments, a 21½ foot concave grating with Rowland
mounting, photographic dark room, liquid air plant, and storage
battery, and a machine shop for the repair and construction of physical
instruments. For advanced work in some lines the facilities offered
are excellent.

THE COLLEGE.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D. | President |
| JAMES MORRIS PAGE, M. A., Ph. D., LL. D. | Dean |
Entrance Requirements.
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Departments.—For
admission as a regular student, the preparation of the candidate
should be at least the equivalent of that represented by four years
of successful work in an accredited high school. For entrance to
the college, as either a regular or a conditioned student, the candidate
must either present satisfactory certificates, or pass the entrance
examinations described in detail, pp. 75-89. The seven and
one-half units which the candidate may select at will (p. 75) must
be so chosen as to absolve in full the requirements for entrance
upon the courses for which he desires to be registered.
Admission with Advanced Standing.—The preceding paragraph
states the minimum requirements for admission to the college. Candidates
for admission who have in addition completed, in an accredited
secondary school, courses in English, Mathematics, Latin, or
Greek, equivalent to the A courses in these subjects, and who are
recommended officially and in writing by the principal of the school
for such credit, may receive college credit for such courses, after
conforming to the regulations regarding such advanced standing on
the course in question. These regulations are given in connection
with each course in the requirements for degrees in the college.
Entrance with College Credit for Courses Passed at Other Colleges.—Candidates,
who desire college credit for work done at other
colleges, must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students,
and the programme of subjects offered by such candidates must conform
in essentials to the degree requirements in this college. The
candidate must, in addition, file with the dean of the college a certificate
covering the courses for which college credit is desired. This
certificate must be acceptable both to the dean and to the professor
in charge of the course accredited. 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
grades, which should in no case 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 certificates
this university. In no case will college credit be given on more than
45 session-hours of work done elsewhere, and in every case the
candidate must spend at least one regular session exclusively in college
work in this university, no credit being given such candidates
for the last 15 session-hours of the degree if passed in the Summer
School or while enrolled in one of the professional departments.
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 necessary 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.
Regulations.
The Session-Hour.—All undergraduate courses are measured in
terms of the session-hour as a unit. The session-hour is one hour
a week a session of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week a session
of laboratory work.
Maximum and Minimum of Session-Hours in One Session.—
Each student in the college is required to undertake each session
courses aggregating not less than 15 nor more than 18 session-hours.
Minimum Grade Required.—Any student whose average grade
on all courses for any term is less than 40 per cent will be dropped
from the rolls of the college. Any student whose average grade at
the end of any term is more than 40 per cent, but whose grade on
each of his courses is less than 65 per cent, will be put on probation
for the term next ensuing. The student on probation who again
makes less than 65 per cent on each of his courses will be dropped
from the rolls.
Grade Required for Passing.—The grade required in the college
for passing in any course is 75 per cent.
Requirements for Degrees.
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
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.
Three degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College.
Each of these degrees requires four sessions of work of collegiate
grade, aggregating not less than 60 session-hours. Two of
these degrees, the Bachelor of Arts and the Cultural Bachelor of
Science, are cultural; the Vocational Bachelor of Science in a special
subject is a professional degree, designed for those students who
wish to fit themselves especially in some branch of the mathematical
or natural sciences as a vocation.
Bachelor of Arts and Cultural Bachelor of Science.
The Group System of 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
the restrictions and exceptions detailed below,—from certain groups
of subjects, as stated in the following sections.
No elective offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered by the same candidate as
part of the work required for the other cultural baccalaureate degree,
nor can any work done toward the removal of entrance conditions
be counted for any degree.
A detailed account of the courses in the various groups as given
below will be found under the Academic Schools, page 135, seq.
A schedule of lectures and examinations in these courses will be
found, p. 189.
A—Group-Electives.
Group I: Languages.
Each course in this group has a credit value of 3 session-hours.
Nine session-hours are required in not less than 2 subjects. Candidates

B. Electives-at-Large and Major Group.
In addition to the session-hours required in group-electives, all
candidates must offer 12 session-hours of electives-at-large, chosen
from the courses given in the groups above, or from the courses open
to graduates and undergraduates in the graduate department (C
courses). Candidates who offer both Latin and Greek, i. e., 12 session-hours
in Group I (p. 183), are credited as having absolved three
session-hours of electives-at-large, and are required to offer only 9
additional session-hours of electives-at-large. English B1 may be
offered as an elective-at-large either in Group I (Language), or in
Group V (English). One C course offered as an elective-at-large will
have a credit value of 6 session-hours. Of the 12 session-hours of
electives-at-large, not less than 9 session-hours must be offered from
some one group to be known as the candidate's major group.
Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-Large.
Candidates who have completed in this college 48 session-hours
of group-electives may offer, instead of 12 session-hours of electives-at-large,
the first year course in the Department of Law, or
in the Department of Medicine, or 12 session-hours of technical
courses in the Department of Engineering.
Time Required for Obtaining the Degree of Bachelor of Arts or the
Cultural Degree of Bachelor of Science.
Students in the College are required to undertake each session
courses aggregating not less than 15 nor more than 18 session-hours.
For students, therefore, who enter without advanced standing the
normal time required for graduation is 4 years. A student receiving
advanced standing on not less than two A courses may obtain
a baccalaureate degree in three years if he is able to complete the
maximum course of 18 session-hours each session.
College credit will be given for courses in certain subjects offered
in the Summer School of this university, so that a student by
work in the Summer School may materially shorten the time required
for obtaining a baccalaureate degree. Students entering from
other colleges of recognized standing may be credited with not more
than 45 session-hours, and must, therefore, spend at least one year
in residence and complete not less than 15 session-hours of work in
this college. The programmes of studies offered by such candidates
must moreover satisfy all the requirements above stated, as to group-electives,
electives-at-large and the major group.
Requirements for Vocational Degrees of Bachelor of Science.
A. Group Electives. Thirty session-hours.
Group I: Languages.
Six session-hours required, three of which must be in French
and three in German.
Group II: Mathematical Sciences.
Six session-hours, three of which must be Mathematics A1, required
from the following courses:
Mathematics A1.
Mathematics B1.
Mathematics B2.
Astronomy B1.
Group III: Natural Sciences.
Twelve session-hours in two subjects required from the following
courses:
Chemistry B1, or Chemistry B2.
Physics B1.
Botany B1.
Zoölogy B1.
Geology B1, or Economic Geology B1.
Group V: English.
Six session-hours, three of which must be English Literature
A1, required from the following courses:
English Literature A1.
English Literature B1.
English Literature B2.
English B1.
English B2.
B. Major School and Electives-at-Large. Thirty Session-Hours Required.
At least two years before the date of his expected graduation
the candidate must select one of the schools of natural or mathematical
sciences as his Major, or principal, School, and during the
remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that school. In addition
to the work in his major school, the candidate shall pursue such
other courses as electives-at-large as are prescribed by the professor
or professors in charge of his major school and approved by the
academic faculty. The courses in the major school and the other
electives-at-large must aggregate not less than 30 session-hours.
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 shall receive the title of "Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry."
Time Required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.
Undergraduate students are required to undertake in any one
session courses aggregating not less than 15 nor more than 18 session-hours.
Hence, the time normally required for obtaining the
vocational degree of Bachelor of Science by a candidate who enters
without advanced standing is four years. A candidate entering with
advanced standing in Mathematics A1 and English Literature A1
may obtain the degree in three years, if he is able to complete the
maximum course of 18 session-hours each session. By work in the
Summer School of this university, the time required for obtaining
the degree may be materially shortened. Students entering from
other colleges of recognized standing may be credited with not more
than 45 session-hours, and must therefore spend at least one year
in residence and complete not less than 15 session-hours of work in
this college. The programme of studies offered by such candidates
must moreover satisfy all the requirements above stated as to group-electives,
electives-at-large, and major subject.
Requirements for the Vocational Degree of Bachelor of Science in
Medicine.
A. Group-Electives. Thirty Session-Hours.
Group I: Languages.
Six session-hours required, three in French and three in German.
Group II: Mathematical Sciences.
Three session-hours required in Mathematics A1.
Group III: Natural Sciences.
Eighteen session-hours in three subjects required from the following
courses:
Chemistry B1, or Chemistry B2.
Physics B1.
Botany B1, or
Zoölogy B1.
Group V: English.
Three session-hours required in English Literature A1, or A2.
B. Major School.
In addition to the thirty hours of group-electives required above,
the candidate must complete in the Department of Medicine as his
Major School, the work of the first two years of the regular medical
course.
Title Conferred with Diploma.
The candidate who successfully completes the work above outlined,
will receive the title of "Bachelor of Science in Medicine."
Time Required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. in Medicine.
For candidates entering without advanced standing, the time
required to obtain the degree will be four years. Candidates who
enter with advanced standing and college credit on not less than
twelve of the thirty session-hours of group-electives, may take the
degree at the close of their third session in the university.

DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE STUDIES.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D. | President |
| RICHARD HEATH DABNEY, M. A., Ph. D. | Dean |
Required for Enrolment in 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 fulfilling these conditions will be registered as a
graduate student if he is pursuing one or more graduate courses.
Should he desire not only to enter this department, but also to
become a candidate for the Master's or Doctor's degree, he should
promptly secure from the Registrar of the University a blank form
of application, which, when properly filled out, should be mailed to
the Dean of this department, together with a catalogue of the institution
from which the candidate received his baccalaureate degree.
In case that institution has (1) a faculty of at least six professors
giving their full time to college or university work; if it has (2)
entrance requirements equal to those of this university; and if it has
(3) a course of four full years in liberal arts and sciences; such candidate
will not be required to do any undergraduate work here except
such as the Committee on Rules and Courses or the professors
in charge may consider necessary for the successful prosecution of
the graduate courses elected for the higher degree. If, however, the
institution in question does not meet the three conditions mentioned
above, such candidate will be considered individually by the Committee
on Rules and Courses, which will note especially his deficiencies,
for the purpose of prescribing such courses as will supply them.
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
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, which
means that they must be selected, for example, from such kindred
groups of subjects as languages and literature, or mathematics and
natural science, or history, economics and philosophy, or philosophy,
education and biology, etc. 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. Nor shall any student take the Master's degree until at
least one year after the prerequisite Bachelor's degree has been conferred,
except with the special consent of the academic faculty.
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. 135-179. None of these courses indicated by the letter "C" will
be counted for the M. A. degree unless preceded by undergraduate
work of "B" grade amounting to at least six session-hours in the
same subject, or (in case only one three-session-hour course is offered
in that subject) by one B course in that subject and another B
course in the same Group (see p. 183); which B courses must be approved
by the professor in charge of the "C" course in question.
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.
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. 182) 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 substituted
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. 190) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.
The degree of Master of Science will also be conferred upon
the holder of the vocational degree of Bachelor of Science upon
conditions similar to those required of the holder of the cultural degree;
provided that the graduate courses pursued by the candidate
shall be chiefly those in continuation of the principal subject of his
work for the Bachelor's degree, and shall be chosen with the approval
of the professor or professors concerned; and provided also that the
name of this principal subject shall be inscribed upon his diploma.
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
of this university, or (under the regulations mentioned below)
upon 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 (see p. 191), 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 to be noted, however, that no
"C" course can be counted for the Ph. D. degree unless preceded by
undergraduate work of "B" grade amounting to at least six session-hours
in the same subject, or (in case only one three-session-hour
course is offered in that subject), by one "B" course in it and another
"B" course in the same Group (see p. 183); which "B" courses must be
approved by the professor in charge of the "C" course in question.
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 courses B1 and B2 in either or both of the languages
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 candidates 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 applies for the degree. Moreover, the copy presented for
the 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.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the university for a Virginia student
in the Department of Graduate Studies may be estimated at from
$220 a year upward, according to the mode of living: for students
from $90 to $130 for tuition fees. A fuller statement of expenses,
including the conditions under which Virginia or other students are
entitled to free tuition, will be found on pp. 107-108.
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.

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.
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
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 school are accustomed to attain
at the bar or in public life. The course 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 believed that
the course exhibited in the following pages will enable those who
complete it more surely to maintain that rank at the bar which the
University has always expected of her sons.
Minor Hall.—By action of the Visitors, the new home of the Law
School has been named Minor Hall, in honor of the late John B.
Minor, whose distinguished service of fifty years as a professor of
the Law School, the University thus commemorates. The building
is located between Dawson's Row and the southern end of West
Range. The architecture 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 fourteen thousand
volumes. Its financial resources, from appropriations by the Visitors,
and from an endowment of ten thousand dollars by Mr. W. W.
Fuller ('78) 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
whether in the Law School or in the broader fields of professional
life, a well-trained mind. If it be true that untrained recruits, in
rare instances, under diligent and persistent effort, develop into successful
practitioners after entrance upon the 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 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 may, in general, be
measured by their academic preparation. Young gentlemen are
therefore advised not to begin their legal studies until they have
completed an academic course approximating that 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 of 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 following:
For Admission to the Department of Law the candidate must
offer fourteen units as specified below; of these three must be in
English, two and one-half 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 (1) by certificate or (2) by examination.
(1) 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 is
extended only to graduates from four-year high schools. The certificate
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
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.
(2) For Admission by Examination the candidate must present
himself for test at the University 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 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 is apt to beguile
an ambitious student into the assumption of more work than he
can thoroughly master in a given time, leading to cramming and
to select his own work, within the limits permitted by the regulation
set out below.
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 three years in residence.
Late Entrance.—Registration commences Thursday, before September
15, 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 secured
unless the student is in actual residence 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 in General University Catalogue.
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 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. Care is taken to teach him to think for himself,
and to rely upon reason 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
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 supplemented by frequent written tests, the
results of which are carefully recorded, and, in the professor's discretion,
are considered in estimating the final grade of the student.
Legal Argumentation.—Beginning with the session of 1913-14,
an advanced course on Legal Argumentation was added to the list
of elective courses. This course, supplemented by the courses in
Brief-Making and Forensic Debating, absorbs the work formerly
done by the Moot Court.
Practical Work.—In the courses of Equity Procedure, Virginia
Pleading, Practice at Law, 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, 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.
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),
and at least two elective courses, one of which must be either the
course in Virginia Pleading or that in Code Pleading.
It follows that of the courses termed "elective," a required minimum
is in fact obligatory—the candidate being permitted to exercise
an election among them.
OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The course as outlined below contemplates an average of ten
lecture periods (or 15 hours) per week during the first and second
years, and nine periods (or 13½ hours) the third year.
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 2 to June 15.
Written examinations are held during the final week of each
term, on the subjects completed during the term, with the exception
of the examination in Forensic Debating, which is held at the
end of the session. See Schedule of Examinations, p. 211.

The Charles Minor Blackford Prize.—Through the liberality of
Mrs. Susan Colston Blackford, of Lynchburg, Virginia, and in memory
of her late husband, Charles Minor Blackford, a distinguished
alumnus of the Law School, an annual prize of fifty dollars in cash
is awarded for the best thesis on some legal or sociological subject.
The competition is open to all students of the Law School, and the
award is made by a committee of three competent persons not connected
with the University, and annually selected by the Law Faculty
DEPARTMENT OF LAW.
GENERAL REGULATIONS.
1. Registration of New Students.—Before registration in the
Law School, students who have not before been registered in any
department of the University, must produce to the Dean of the
Law School (office in Minor Hall), a certificate from the Dean of
the University (office, No. 6 East Lawn), that entrance requirements
have been fulfilled.
2. Registration Generally.—Students must register in advance at
the Dean's office and with the Registrar for every course taken,
and no credit will be given for courses taken without proper registration.
3. Exchange or Omission of Courses.—After registration therefor,
no course may be exchanged or omitted except on the written
approval of the professor in charge and of the Dean.
4. Maximum for Which Student May Register.—No candidate for
the degree is permitted to register, in any year, for courses comprising
in the aggregate more than 450 periods,—including subjects taken
but not completed in a previous year,—nor, in any case, for new
courses aggregating more than 350 periods.
5. Minimum for Which Student Must Register.—No student,
without special permission, and for good cause, may register for less
than nine periods per week.
6. Advanced Work.—Students of one year are not permitted to
anticipate the courses of a subsequent year, without urgent reasons
satisfactory to the Dean.
7. Late Entrance into Classes.—No credit is given for the
completion of any course upon which the student has entered after
fifty per centum of the lectures thereon have been delivered.
8. Optional Attendance.—A student who has attended the required
lectures upon any subject may, on written application, with the
endorsed approval of the professor in charge, and of the Dean, secure
optional attendance on such subjects the following session—
provided the exercise of this privilege does not reduce his lecture
periods below nine per week, nor infringe Regulation 4.
9. General Requirements.—Every student of the Law School is
required to attend all regular exercises of the classes of which he
and examinations, unless excused for good cause by the Faculty.
10. Invalids.—Students whose condition of health is too precarious
to permit regular attendance upon lectures, but not serious enough to
admit them as patients of the hospital, will be required to withdraw
from the University until able to resume their regular work.
11. Conditions of Re-Admission.—Any student who, without
satisfactory cause, has not attained for the session, on his examinations,
credit for courses completed, comprising in the aggregate at
least 100 periods, or, in lieu thereof, a grade of 75 per centum on
courses aggregating 150 periods, will be excluded from the Law
School the following session. The result of one or more special examinations,
granted for cause under existing regulations, may be
considered in determining whether this requirement has been met.
The foregoing provisions do not affect students who have been
permitted, for cause, to take less than two-thirds of a full year's work.
Such students will be subject to exclusion or other conditions as the
Law Faculty may prescribe.
In this connection, attention is called to Regulation 4 foregoing.
12. Students Admitted on Terms of Diligence, by reason of previous
unsatisfactory record in the Law School, or other department
of the University, will be held to an average class grade (or examination
grade, in classes in which class grades are not recorded) of 75
per centum, in the work of the first term. Failure to attain this
grade without satisfactory cause, unless the result of his other examinations
shall raise his average grade to the required standard,
will operate to exclude such delinquent from the Law School for the
remainder of the session. An average class grade of less than 75 per
centum, at the end of any term, will be regarded as evidence of a
lack of the diligence required by the terms of this condition.
13. First-Year Students.—Failure on the part of any first-year
student, without just cause, to attain, for the first term, an average
grade of seventy-five per centum on the daily written quizzes, will
place such student on probation for the remainder of the session, and
the student and his parent or guardian will be so notified. Unless, in
the opinion of the Law Faculty, a decided improvement in the character
of such student's work is indicated at the end of the second
term, he will be required to withdraw from the Law School.
14. Special Examinations.—No special examinations are granted,
save in cases of sickness on the day of examination (attested by
physician's certificate), or for other imperative cause approved by
the Law Faculty. In no case will such examination be granted,
unless prompt application be made therefor.
15. Re-Examinations—Third Year Students.—Candidates for the
degree, who have failed on one or more subjects during their third
year, may return the following session, and stand the regular examinations
on such subjects, without further attendance upon lectures.
But this privilege may be exercised but once—that is to
say, after a second failure the candidate must take the lectures
over again, on the subject or subjects on which he has for a second
time proved deficient.
16. Examination Fees.—The fee for standing such examinations
as are mentioned in the preceding regulation, is five dollars for
each examination taken. Students who, under such circumstances,
return for further lectures, and who have paid full matriculation
and tuition fees for three years, pay a matriculation fee in proportion
to the amount of work taken plus $5 for each course taken.
There is no charge for special examinations granted for imperative
cause.
17. Honor System.—All examinations are conducted under the
Honor System.
18. Application for Degree.—Candidates for graduation are required
to file a written application with the Dean, not later than
November 15 of their third year, stating the courses completed,
with the credit value of each, together with a schedule of the
courses to be pursued during their final year, with the credit value
of such courses attached. Blanks for this purpose will be supplied
on application to the Dean.
19. Required Withdrawal.—The right is reserved to require the
withdrawal of any student who, in the opinion of the Faculty, is
not profiting, nor likely to profit, by the instruction offered, or whose
neglect or irregular performance of required duties, after admonition,
indicates indifference or contumacy.

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 at least one year's
work in Inorganic (General) Chemistry, Physics, and Biology at an
approved institution of collegiate rank. Candidates for admission
will be required also to present satisfactory evidence of a reading
knowledge of at least one modern language besides English, preferably
of certificates showing the completion of one year of college
work following upon two years of high school work in the same language
or by an examination which will test the candidate's reading
knowledge of the language.
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.
The number of students in the first year class is limited to thirty-six.
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
and by his own exertions, and thus acquires the habit of working out
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
and Dispensary are described on a subsequent page. After two sessions
devoted to laboratory training, the student is introduced in the
third year, 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 1,700 cases. Since the number of students
in each class is relatively small, it is clear that the departments offers
capable young men clinical advantages which are distinctly exceptional.
Opportunities are offered in the third and fourth years 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 examination. Failure to take or to
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 (save by the consent of the Dean and the professors
concerned), if more than one-third of the work of the preceding
year 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.
Whenever in the judgment of the faculty a student is receiving
too many records below the grade of "Passed," the faculty may prescribe
the Department of Medicine, or may require his withdrawal therefrom.
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.
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
and have satisfactorily completed all of the subjects included
in the medical course.
The William A. Herndon Scholarships are founded upon the
bequest of Dr. Cumberland George Herndon, a graduate in medicine
of this University. They are awarded by the medical faculty after a
competitive examination held during the summer vacation preceding
enrollment as a student in the Medical Department. Candidates must
be unable to defray the expenses of their medical education and must
signify their intention of entering the medical service of the army or
navy of the United States. Their scholarships provide for the necessary
expenses of the student during the entire four years of his medical
course and are awarded whenever there is a vacancy. One will
be awarded in September, 1914. For information as to the examinations
and other requirements, address the Dean of the Department
of Medicine.
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 1914-1915 begin September seventh
and close September twelfth. Students entitled to admission
to these examinations will be informed of the date of examination
by the Dean.
Expenses.—The tuition fees for students entering the Department
of Medicine prior to September, 1912 are $110 for the first year,
$100 for the second year, $80 for the third year, and $60 for the
fee for each year is $100.
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 $285
for living expenses, and $25 for books.
In the courses in Organic and Physiological Chemistry a deposit
of $10 is required to cover cost of breakage.
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
microscopial 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.
The session, exclusive of the time devoted to examinations, is
divided into a fall term of twelve weeks, a winter term of ten weeks,
and a spring term of ten weeks.
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
laboratory is well equipped. Fresh brains are obtained each year
from the dissecting material of the department; 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 examinations, both written and practical. The
course aims to acquaint the student primarily with the microscopic
structure of cells, tissues, and organs. Cytogenesis and histo-genesis
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, a micropolariscope, a projectoscope and
other 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 and Mr. Anderson.
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 and Mr. Anderson.
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. Edgar and Mr. Diggs.
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 most 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. Hough, Dr. Edgar, and Mr. Diggs.
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. Reeves.
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, apparatus
for gas analysis, 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. Wright, Mr.
Neff, and Mr. Trautmann.
Bacteriology and Pathology.—Thirteen hours weekly throughout the
year, and two additional hours a week in the third term.
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 studies the microörganisms concerned
in the common bacterial diseases.
After a few days have been spent in making culture media, sterilization,
etc., the general technique is learned by isolating the bacteria
from the air, soil, water and milk, and from exposed body
surfaces. Bacterial counts are made from water and milk. 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.
At intervals mixed cultures are given out to the class and the students
are required to isolate and identify the bacteria in the mixtures.
Experimental work upon infection and immunity accompanies
the course in Bacteriology and Pathology. The students inoculate
animals with certain pathogenic bacteria and report to the class
upon the course of disease resulting from the inoculation. In fatal
cases the students perform autopsies upon the experimental animals
and attempt to recover the bacteria in cultures. Sections are made
from the organs of the animals which succumb to inoculation and
are studied by the students.
Groups of students prepare vaccines and immunize animals. The
serum of these animals is employed by the class in studying the
technique of the more important immunity reactions. In this way
the work in Bacteriology is integrally combined with the work in
Pathology, the two courses overlapping.
The lectures and quizzes which accompany the Laboratory work
are designed to set forth clearly the relations existing between bacteria
and disease and to give a knowledge of the fundamental facts
and theories of immunity and of the important principles of 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. Selected types
of diseases are studied experimentally. The practical work includes
the consideration of the vascular disturbances, degeneration, inflammation,
regeneration, and of benign and malagnant 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 examination, and he is
called upon to witness and assist in the autopsies.
Both in Bacteriology and Pathology frequent recitations are held
and the standing of the student is determined largely upon these and
from the character of his daily practical work.
In addition to the regular course outlined above, opportunity
is afforded for qualified students and doctors to engage in advanced
work. A special room is reserved for this purpose.
The work in Pathology is open only to students who have obtained
a record of eighty per cent. in Histology. Dr. Marshall, Mr.
Jackson, Mr. Gage and Mr. Moore.
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.
Dr. Waddell, Mr. Bean, Mr. Wright.
Journals.—In connection with the work in Physiology, Pathology,
and Pharmacology the second year students meet with their
instructors for one hour each week from the first of December to
the end of the session for reports and discussion of the current literature
of the above sciences. Three reports are made at each meeting
by the students.
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 recitations and four
hours of laboratory work weekly during the first half of the third year.
The more important drugs and preparations of the Pharmacopeia,
together with newer non-official remedies which bid fair to attain
or have attained considerable use, form the subject of study. In the
laboratory the student becomes familiar with the peculiarities and
methods of preparation of the different preparations of the Pharmacopeia,
as well as with the 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. Dr. Waddell, and
Mr. Bean.
Toxicology.—Three hours of lectures and recitation and three hours
of laboratory work weekly during the last half of the second term.
This course is to a considerable extent a review of the pharmacological
actions of poisons and their antagonists. The treatment
of poisoning is dealt with in detail. Some attention is given to the
methods of separation and identification. Dr. Waddell.
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, exudates, 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 Dr. Bray.
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
Dr. Flippin, Dr. Magruder, Dr. Nelson.
Surgery and Gynecology.—Five hours weckly 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
specialities, 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 service in the wards of the hospital. Full histories are
taken of every 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
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 disease met with in
medical practice. 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 fall and winter
terms, 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 beside 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, postoperative
care of the cases, complication, 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 the 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 six cases of labour. Dr. Macon.
Forensic Medicine.—One lecture weekly during one term of the
fourth year.
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
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 and construction of
habitations, hospitals, schoolhouses, etc., with 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 the 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 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 disturbing
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,
80 of these being in the public wards. The equipment throughout
is new, and conforms in all respects to the best usage of the day.
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 satisfactorily conditions
for clinical instruction.

During the summer of 1913 the Dispensary building was remodelled
and the service reorganized. Separate waiting rooms for
white and colored patients have been provided and the floor space
has been rearranged to provide additional rooms for the different
services and separate examination rooms for male and female patients.
The chief of dispensary is present each afternoon during the regular
hours to receive and properly refer patients and to arrange for the
work of the students. The students are divided into 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 clinical instructors. Each third year student attends the medical
and surgical clinics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon,
and each fourth year student the eye, ear, nose, and throat
clinics on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons throughout the session.
A nurse is detailed from the hospital each afternoon to be present at
the examination and treatment of patients, as required. The coöperation
of the District Nurse in Charlottesville has been secured and
the dispensary has in this way become an integral part of the charitable
work of the community.
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 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.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
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
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 value 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, Chemistry, Engineering,
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 degree courses are distinguished by Roman numerals as follows:
Course I.—Civil Engineering.
Course II.—Mechanical Engineering.
Course III.—Electrical Engineering.
Course IV.—Chemical Engineering.
Course V.—Mining Engineering.
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.
In the following matter describing subjects of instruction and in the
various programmes of courses, of examinations and in lecture and
laboratory schedules, these subjects of instruction are grouped into
nine classes, each subject being designated by a distinctive number
for each term, and the lectures and the laboratory are likewise differentiated.
The grouping by classes follows the arrangement shown herewith
| Mathematics | 100 to 199 |
| Physics | 200 to 299 |
| Chemistry | 300 to 399 |
| Geology and Mining | 400 to 499 |
| Mechanics | 500 to 599 |
| Drawing and Shop-work | 600 to 699 |
| Civil Engineering | 700 to 799 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 800 to 899 |
| Electrical Engineering | 900 to 999 |
Lectures are listed in the first fifty numbers of all classes while
laboratory or practice courses are listed in the second fifty numbers
of all classes.
Numbers in parenthesis following Roman numerals indicate in
every instance the respective year of a four years' course in which
the subject is taken.

students verify the more important data and conclusions of the theoretical
courses.
500 Statics and Elementary Dynamics. [Thornton.]
Lectures 10-11, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
This course furnishes a general introduction to Theoretical Mechanics.
The fundamental principles of the Kinematics of a particle
are followed by a study of the Newtonian Laws of Motion. On this
basis the more important propositions in the Statics of the material
particle, of the plane lamina, and of solid bodies in three dimensions
are then developed. Applications are made to the problems of equilibrium
of rigid bodies with and without friction and of flexible cables
and to the determination of centers of gravity by both elementary
and advanced methods. The principle of work and the
application of the law of virtual work to problems of equilibrium are
discussed and illustrated. The motions of material particles under
the action of constant forces are then considered and the cases of
uniform motion, uniformly varied motion, and projectile motion
are fully discussed. Special attention is given throughout the course
to illustrative problems, many of these being selected from the engineering
field.
[Required, Fall, in Courses I, II, III, V (3); IV (4).]
501 Dynamics of a Particle. [Thornton.]
Lectures 10-11, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
In this course the motions of material particles under varied forces
are systematically studied. Simple and compound harmonic motions,
motions in resisting media, pendulum motions, and planetary
motions are discussed and illustrated. Problems are introduced
freely and are drawn not only from the usual ranges of theoretical
mechanics, but also from the engineering and industrial applications
railway trains under the varied traction of the locomotive, the motion
of projectiles through atmospheric air, the descent of heavy particles
through water in the processes of ore dressing and so on. The
course concludes with an elementary discussion of moments of inertia
and of the motions of revolving and rolling bodies under finite
and under impulsive forces.
[Required, Winter, in Courses I, II, III, V (3).]
502 Dynamics of a Rigid Body. [Thornton.]
Lectures 10-11, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
This course offers an ampler and more rigorous treatment of the
motions of rigid bodies. Moments of inertia are investigated by
more powerful methods and the motions of rigid bodies about fixed
axes, parallel to fixed planes, and about fixed points are submitted
to both kinematical and dynamical analysis. Numerous applications
are made to the dynamics of machines. The inertia forces developed
in the moving parts are studied and the problems arising in
the balancing of engines, and in gyroscopic movements are used to
illustrate the fundamental doctrines of theoretical mechanics.
[Required, Spring, in Courses I, II, III, V (3).]
503 Strength of Materials. [Thornton.]
Lectures 9-10, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
The fundamental laws of stress and strain, as developed from the
point of view of applied mechanics and illustrated by experimental
tests in the laboratory, are made the basis of this course. Systematic
studies are made of the strength and elasticity of ties and struts,
of beams of constant and of varied sections, of solid and hollow
shafts under torsion and bending, of helical springs, of columns under
both axial and eccentric loads, of struts and ties under lateral
loads, of reinforced concrete slabs and beams, of earth pressure and
retaining walls, and of the distribution of pressures in massive masonry
and in foundations. Attention is given not only to the classical
methods of solution, but also to the more modern accelerated
methods based on the principle of work and using graphical as well
as analytical processes. Illustrations are drawn throughout from
standard engineering practice. Especial care is given to the discussion
of the rules and formulæ on which laboratory tests of structural
materials must be based, and to the interpretation of actual
tests.
[Required, Fall, in Courses I, II, III (3); V (4).]
504 Hydrostatics and Hydraulics. [Thornton.]
Lectures 9-10, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
The fundamental laws of the equilibrium of fluids are studied and
in boiler shells and tanks, the stability of reservoir walls and
dams, and the equilibrium of floating bodies. The elementary principles
of the movement of fluids are then discussed and applied to
deduce rules for efflux from orifices and weir notches, for flow in
pipes and open canals, and for gauging the flow of water in both
natural and artificial channels. The views of modern hydraulic engineers
are fully discussed and their bearings on professional practice
are carefully explained. A great variety of problems, drawn
as far as possible from current practice, is incorporated into the
course. Many of these are assigned to the class for independent
solution. Care is taken to make the tests executed by the student
in the hydraulic laboratory adequate illustrations of the theoretical
principles expounded in the lectures.
[Required, Winter, in Courses I, II, III (3); IV, V (4).]
505 Hydraulic Motors and Pumps. [Thornton.]
Lectures 9-10, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
The course is based upon the principles of angular and linear
momentum, and the laws of action of hydraulic motors and pumps
are developed from these principles. Only such attention is given
to the older types of hydraulic machinery as their historic interest
justifies. The body of the course is a careful study of the modern
types of the turbine as a motor and as a pump. The principles of
action of these machines are systematically developed and their operation
is illustrated from examples taken from the current practice.
Free use is made of problems, and the student is required to design
hydraulic machinery and to predict the performance under test of
such machines. The inertia effects of moving masses of water on
the conduits which carry them are also examined, and the methods
for limiting the consequent strains are explained.
[Required, Spring, in Courses I, II, III (3); IV, V (4).]
506 Stability of Structures. [Thornton.]
Lectures 10-11, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
In this more advanced course in the principles of applied mechanics
careful studies are made of the continuous girder, of the cable
in its applications to aerial lines for electrical and power transmission
and to suspension bridges, of the elastic arch as a structural
elements of the hook and ring and chain, of thin and thick pipes under
fluid pressure, of the analogous problems arising in shrinkage and
forced fits, of whirling discs and cylinders, and of vibratory strains
and stresses arising in beams and shafts and other structural elements.
Free use is made of the principle of least work in the analysis of
complex structural problems. Illustrations are drawn as far as possible
from standard modern engineering practice.
[Required, Winter, in Courses I, II, III (4).]
507 Canal and River Engineering. [Thornton.]
Lectures 10-11, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
A study of the general laws of river flow, of the standard methods
of gauging such flows, and of the works needed for the control of
floods, serves as an introduction to the discussion of canalized rivers
and canals as elements in a system of internal navigation. The
principles upon which are based the construction of locks and their
accessories, the design of weirs and navigation passes, and the
erection of movable dams are carefully studied. Illustrations are
drawn from such works of national importance as the Isthmian canal,
the Erie canal, and the canalized rivers of the United States. The
design and construction of hydraulic works for power development
is also a part of this course. Practical problems in hydraulic design
and field exercises in guage measurements constitute a part of the

in the technique of good draftsmanship. Especial attention is paid
to lettering. The importance of neatness, accuracy, clearness and
completeness is constantly impressed upon the student's mind. Frequent
exercises in tracing and blue printing are required. As the
student advances in the course he is taught more and more to use
the graphical method not merely as a means of representation, but
as an instrument of research both in Geometry and in Mechanics.

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 Schedules. The dates for the examinations
are given in the Examination Programme.

The numbers following group names indicate in order subjects
upon which examinations are given in December, March and June
respectively.
x indicates that no subject is given in the group in the respective
term.
(i) The student who makes an average of less than 40 per cent
on his courses at the end of any term is dropped from the rolls.
(ii) The student who makes an average of 40 per cent. or more
at the end of any term, but who makes less than 65 per cent. on
each of his courses, is on probation for the term next ensuing.
(iii) The student—already on probation—who again makes less
than 65 per cent. on each of his courses at the end of the current
term, is dropped from the rolls.
EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS.
The average annual expenses of a student who pursues the regular
course in Engineering will be:
| Outside Students |
Virginians. | |
| University Fee | $ 40 | $ 40 |
| Tuition and Laboratory Fees (average) | 100 | 50 |
| Living Expenses (for nine months) | 225 | 225 |
| Books and Drawing Materials | 20 | 20 |
| Incidental Expenses (for nine months) | 45 | 45 |
| Total for average conditions | $430 | $380 |
The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that
Virginians are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College.
The fee for each class taken will be $25, with the addition of the
prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 for each class in Applied
Mechanics, Engineering, and Physics; $15 for Chemistry. For
each class in Analytical Chemistry a special fee of $50 is charged
for tuition, plus $10 for apparatus and supplies. The fee for practical
instruction in each class in Drawing is $10, and for each class
in Shopwork and Fieldwork $5.
The University Fee entitles the student to the free use of the
Library, Gymnasium, Shops, and Laboratories; to free medical attention;
to the services of the Instructor in Physical Culture; to
the facilities of the Hospital in case of need; and covers all fees for
the regular examinations, degrees, and diplomas.
The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights,
servant 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
travel, the expenses for 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:
| 703. | Location, Construction and Maintenance of County Roads and of City Streets and Pavements, with Laboratory tests of road materials. [Newcomb]. |
| 753. | |
| 700. | Plane Surveying with especial reference to land and topographical surveying and to highway location. [Newcomb]. |
| 652. | Topographical Drawing, embracing contoured maps, colored topography, map lettering, tracing and blue printing. [Hancock and Assistant]. |
| 655. | Structural Drawing, with especial reference to county road bridges, and to culverts and retaining walls for highways. [Thornton and Assistant]. |
| 750. | 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
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.
Credit for Summer School Work will be allowed when the conditions
stated in the following resolutions of the Engineering Faculty
are satisfied.
Resolved, That for courses in Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry
required for degrees in Engineering in the University of Virginia
credits will be accepted from the Summer School of said University
on coextensive courses, provided the examination questions are prepared
by the professor in charge of the regular course, and the answers
are read and graded by him.
Resolved, That for courses required for degrees in Engineering
in the University of Virginia credits will be accepted from the Summer
Schools of other universities of corresponding grade on coextensive
courses, provided (1) that the grade attained on examination
is 75 per cent, and (2) that such courses are accepted by the universities
where they are given for the corresponding degrees.
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 matriculate, 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 three in two languages (selected
or Economics), three courses in English, English Literature, or
Biblical History and Literature, and two courses in Philosophy
(Logic, or Ethics, or Psychology).
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 engine
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
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 guage 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 a fine stone broken in a small
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 been considerably enlarged. It contains Riehle and
Olsen machines, each of 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; Fairbanks 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 guage 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.
LABORATORY WORK IN STEAM ENGINEERING.
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
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.
The Steam Turbine Tests are made on a DeLaval 30 horsepower
turbine direct connected to a 25 kva. alternating current generator.
The turbine takes steam from the main line through a Cochrane separator;
humidity tests are made with a throttling calorimeter below
the separator. Pressure guages indicate the steam pressure before and
after passing the governor and after expansion in the nozzles. Humidity
tests of exhaust steam are made with a separating calorimeter
The turbine has interchangeable nozzles for saturated steam exhausting
to atmosphere; for saturated steam exhausting to condenser;
for superheated steam exhausting to condenser. Steam consumption
is determined by weighing the condensate. Power output is measured
at the generator, the efficiency of the latter being known.
The Steam Pump Tests are made on a Worthington direct acting
duplex pump, receiving steam from the main line and exhausting
either to atmosphere or condenser. By weighing the condensed steam
hourly consumption is determined. The pump draws water from a
concrete tank in the floor of the laboratory and delivers it to a copper-lined
tank in the attic under a head of forty-five feet. Water
from the attic tank is returned to a wrought iron weir tank in the
laboratory, and thence to the concrete tank. In the weir tank
quantity of water delivered is measured. Velocity head is determined
indirectly from the quantity and the known area of the discharge
nozzle. Friction head is determined independently, and steam consumption
per developed horse-power-hour is computed.
The Air Compressor Tests are made on a Remington Ammonia
compressor, 4″ × 6″ double cylinder, single acting, so arranged
that it may be connected either to the refrigerating machine
or an air storage tank of ample capacity. Temperature of the storage
tank is determined at a thermometer cup passing well across
the diameter of the tank near its central portion. From the temperature,
pressure, and the known capacity of the tank compressor capacity
is determined; a check on the capacity from the indicator diagrams
being thus obtained. Power input is measured by a calibrated
electric motor which drives the compressor.
The Air Engine Tests are made on a 3″ × 4″ single cylinder
double acting engine receiving air from the storage tank at any desired
pressure below 100 lbs. The engine is permanently rigged
for taking indicator diagrams, the intake air temperature being determined
provide means for determining power output.
This equipment provides for the determination of (a) Mechanical
efficiency of the compressor, (b) Cylinder efficiency of the compressor,
(c) Efficiency of transmission, (d) Cylinder efficiency of the
engine, (e) Mechanical efficiency of the engine, (f) Over-all efficiency
of the air plant.
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 rigging, and indicator. The cooling water is run
in from calibrated tanks 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 wattmeter and by ammeter
and voltmeter 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.
For Engine Balancing Experiments the 3″ × 4″ air engine is provided
with detachable weights which may be clamped at any desired
position relative to the crank and the axis of the main shaft. The
from previously computed weights being determined by the
nature of vibration of the suspended frame.
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 year 1910 the equipment was substantially
increased through the generosity of the Hon. Charles M.
Crane, of Chicago, Ill., a friend of the university. During 1912, still
further substantial additions were made, consisting of measuring
instruments, auxiliary control apparatus, and more particularly a
steam-turbine driven alternating current, three-phase, generator
with exciter and control switchboard.
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 three phase induction motors, several pairs of constant
voltage transformers, a constant current transformer, frequency
meters, power factor indicator, synchronism indicator, ground detector
and the auxiliary apparatus used in testing these machines.
The laboratory has been 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 each 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
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 each 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 other 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 the foundry and the forge room. The boiler plant
consists of two horizontal return-tubular boilers, each of 140 horsepower.
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
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 rooms, 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 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.
