The Academic Schools comprise the Schools of Languages,
Mathematics, Sciences, History, Literature, Economics, Philosophy, Education,
and Biblical Literature. In the undergraduate courses of these
Schools is comprised the work of the College with the degrees of Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science; in the graduate courses is comprised
the work of the Department of Graduate Studies, with the degrees of
Graduate in a School, Master of Arts, Master of Science and Doctor
of Philosophy. The professors and instructors in the Academic Schools
compose the Academic Faculty, which deals with questions concerning
the work both of the College and of the Department of Graduate Studies.
A full statement of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts and Bachelor of Science will be found under the head of the College;
of the requirements for the other academic degrees, under the Department
of Graduate Studies. In the detailed account of the courses and
equipment of the Academic Schools, given in the following pages, the
order of the courses in the particular School, and the relation of each
course to the academic degrees of the University, is indicated as follows:
The numeral placed after each course indicates the order of the course
in the particular School; the letter placed after the numeral indicates the
value of the course as a part of the work required for an academic degree,
viz.:
A: the first-year course in a School, in which more than one year's
work is required, if the School in question is elected as one of the subjects
for the B. A. or for the B. S. degree.
B: a course that has full value only as an elective for the B. A. or
for the B. S. degree.
C: a graduate course of full value, either as an elective-at-large
for the B. A. degree, for the B. S. degree, for the M. A. degree, or as
a secondary minor for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
D: all graduate courses having full value for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy, either as primary minor or major courses for that degree.
The Academic Schools are here arranged according to the grouping of
subjects for the B. A. and B. S. degrees.
SCHOOL OF LATIN.
Professor Fitz-Hugh.
Mr. Bolling.
Mr. Myers.
Mr. McLemore.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The four
units prescribed on page 78 for admission to Latin 1A.
Preparation.—The Latin work of the University finds its logical
place in the public school system as the continuation of the Latin work of
the High School. It presupposes accordingly four years of competent
instruction in Latin, involving the Roman pronunciation, habitual observance
of quantity and accent, regular drill in grammar and prose composition
through all preparatory years, elementary Reader (Viri Romae),
Nepos (Roman Lives), Cæsar's Gallic War, Cicero's easier Orations.
Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Vergil's Aeneid. 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 further called to the importance of beginning Greek for
all who wish to reap the full cultural benefit of the University courses in
Latin. The study of at least one Romanic language also is very desirable.
The Greek illumines incomparably all parts of Latin study, which bears in
turn a like relation to the Romanic.
General Statement.—The first three years of University Latin
are devoted to the broad cultural study of the language, literature, and life
of the Romans. In the course of the instruction the effort is made to
exhibit, as far as possible, the relation of Roman civilization to the Greek,
on the one hand, and to Romanic and modern on the other, and thus to
emphasize the unity and continuity of all human culture. The great desirability
of a knowledge of Greek and of at least one Romanic language is
therefore specially commended to the student of Latin.
The work is organized in all years as follows:
I. In Language: Systematic study of Latin grammar, with oral
and written exercises in prose composition. One hour a
week.II. In Literature: Reading of authors in culture-historical series.
Two hours a week.III. In Life: Systematic study of Roman culture-history in English,
hand in hand with the study of the Latin authors.
Course 1A: The Higher Entrance Examination in Latin prerequisite.
I. In Language: General grammar (Hale-Buck), with oral and
written exercises (Moulton-Collar, Mather-Wheeler).
II. In Literature: Historical, Sallust's Jugurthine War nd Con-
Metamorphoses (Books XIII-XIV), with study of the hexameter—philosophic,
Cicero's Friendship and Old Age, and his Tusculan Disputations
and Dream of Scipio.
III. In Life: The geography, history, public, and private life of the
Romans, (Kiepert's Atlas Antiquus, Abbott's Short History of Rome,
Gow's Companion to School Classics, Johnston's Private Life of the
Romans).
Course 2B: Course 1A or its equivalent prerequisite.
I. In Language: General grammar (Gildersleeve-Lodge), with oral
and written exercises (Gildersleeve-Lodge, Nutting, Bennett).
II. In Literature: Historical and biographic, Livy's Early History
of Rome (Books I-II), and Tacitus' Agricola—lyric and didactic, Catullus'
Odes and Vergil's Georgics, with study of the meters of lyric and didactic
verse—philosophic, Cicero's De Officiis and Seneca's Moral Essays.
III. In Life: The religion, and mythology of the Romans, (Bailey's
Religion of Rome, Fairbank's Mythology of Greece and Rome).
Course 3B: Course 1A or its equivalent prerequisite.
I. In Language: General grammar (Gildersleeve-Lodge), with oral
and written exercises (Gildersleeve-Lodge, Nutting, Bennett).
II. In Literature: Historical and descriptive, Livy's Hannibalic
War, and Tacitus' Germania—lyric and idyllic, Horace's Odes, and Vergil's
Bucolics, with study of the meters of lyric and idyllic verse—critical and
didactic, Cicero's De Claris Oratoribus and Quintilian's Training of the
Orator.
III. In Life: The artistic life of the Romans, (Tarbell's History of
Greek Art, Goodyear's Roman Art).
Course 4C: Course 2B or Course 3B or the equivalent of either
prerequisite.
I. In Language: Higher Syntax of the Cases and Moods (Gildersleeve-Lodge,
Peters), with oral and written exercises (Bennett, Moore,
Nettleship).
II. In Literature: Epistolary and historical, Cicero's Letters, and
Tacitus' Annals—dramatic and satiric, Plautus' Captivi, Terence's Andria,
and Horace's Satires and Epistles, with study of the meters of scenic and
satiric verse—critical, Cicero's De Oratore, and Tacitus' Dialogue on the
Orators.
III. In Life: The history of Roman Literature, (Mackall's Latin
Literature, and Laing's Masterpieces of Latin Literature).
Course 5C: Course 2B or Course 3B or the equivalent of either
second M. A. elective in Latin.
I. In Language: The History of the Latin Language (Bennett,
Grandgent), with oral and written exercises (Bennett, Moore, Nettleship).
II. In Literature: Historical and epistolary, Tacitus' Histories, and
Pliny's Letters—dramatic and satiric, Plautus' Mostellaria, Terence's
Phormio, and Juvenal's Satires, with study of the meters of scenic and
satiric verse—philosophic, Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, and Cicero's De
Natura Deorum.
III. In Life: The history of Roman philosophy (Mayor's History of
Ancient Philosophy from Thales to Cicero, and Pater's Marius the Epicurean).
Course 6D: Course 4C or Course 5C, or the equivalent of either, prerequisite.—This
course is intended for those who desire to specialize in classical
philology, and especially for those who choose Latin as their major
elective for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Roman civilization is the
link between the Hellenic and the Romanic, and hence Latin philology,
which is the science of Roman civilization, has vital points of contact with
Greek philology on the one hand and with Romanic on the other. If the
candidate's main subject be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is
required, since the language, literature, and higher culture of the Romans
are saturated with Greek influence. If the candidate's main subject be
Romanic, the Greek requirement is waived as far as practically possible,
and he is guided into the history of the Roman folk speech, the common
source of the Romanic tongues, and into acquaintance with the authors
who illustrate it in literature.
Plan of Work.—It is the aim of this course, as far as the teaching
force and the resources of the School permit, to prepare the candidate
to investigate independently the sources of our knowledge of the language,
monuments (literary and objective) and life of the Romans.
The following is therefore an outline of the course:
I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar (Giles, supplemented
by Hirt and Sommer on Sounds and Inflections and by
Brugmann and Schmalz on Syntax)—introduction to Latin historical
grammar (Lindsay, supplemented by Landgraf)—systematic grammar
(Kühner) with stylistic exercises, oral and written, in conjunction
with Cicero's De Oratore—reading of epigraphic and literary monuments
illustrating the history of the Latin Language.
II. In the Literary and Objective Monuments of the Romans:
Reading of authors in groups systematically planned to illustrate the
of palæography (Johnson, supplemented by Thompson), epigraphy (Lindsay,
supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat), numismatics (Gnecchi, supplemented
by Hill), topography and remains (Platner, Peterson, Huelsen,
Mau, Strack, Furtwaengler).
III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history—
reading of authors illustrating the development of Roman civilization—
study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history (Philippson, Nissen,
Mommsen. Marquardt-Mommsen, Preller-Jordon, Springer-Michaelis and
Winter, Schanz, Windelband).
Aids.—For the sake of first-hand access to important modern
authorities in Latin philology, the candidate is urged to acquire a good
reading knowledge of German, French, and Italian. Such a mastery of
German and French is imperative.
SCHOOL OF GREEK.
Professor Humphreys.
Mr. Hays.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
This school comprises the following courses:
Course 1A: A course for beginners. Text-Books: Benner and
Smyth's Beginner's Greek Book; Xenophon's Anabasis. Young men who
have the opportunity are urged to prepare themselves for the next course
(2A) or Course 3B before coming to the University.
Course 2A: Course 1A prerequisite or the Entrance Examination in
Greek (or its equivalent).—A course of easy Attic Prose. Xenophon's
Memorabilia and Hellenica, Lysias, Goodwin's Grammar, Elementary
Exercises.
Course 3B: Course 2A (or its equivalent) prerequisite.—A course of
Attic Prose and the Drama, Herodotus and Homer, Syntax, Exercises,

portions of Demosthenes, Thucydides, Æschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes,
Lyric Poets; also Meters, Syntax, and Exercises.
Courses 5D and 6D: Course 4C prerequisite.—Designed for those
who wish to devote themselves to classical scholarship, and especially for
of Philosophy. For admission to these courses, proficiency in Courses 2A
and 3B, or equivalent preparation is required. The course 4C may be taken
as the first year Ph. D. course. At present the additional work consists of
four special courses, each comprising three hours per week during a half
session. The lectures will be employed chiefly in directing the private study
of the students.
The four special courses offered at present are as follows:
I. A course of selected readings extending over the whole field
of Greek literature in the order of historical development. This course
is intended as a general survey.
II. A course in Attic Prose, especially the orators, directed partly
to questions of grammar, and partly to the artistic form and style.
III. A study of the Attic drama, including the special study in
class of the Œdipus Tyrannus of Sophocles and the Frogs of Aristophanes.
IV. A study of the Greek poets, with special reference to music,
rhythm, meter, and structure. The ancient doctrine of meter and rhythm
will be carefully examined, and portions of the Lyric poets, including
Pindar, read in class.
For all the classes of this School private reading is prescribed, and
the examinations will be partly upon this and the work done in class,
and partly upon passages selected from the Greek authors at will.
Text-Books.—Goodwin's Greek Grammar; Goodwin's Moods and Tenses; Veitch's
Verbs; Liddell and Scott's Lexicon (intermediate, and in Course 4C and above,
unabridged edition); Morey's History of Greece; Smyth's Greek Literature. Any
editions of Greek authors may be used, except when particular ones are specially

and for use on examinations. At present Rhythm and Meters and some other subjects
are taught wholly or partly by lecture.
SCHOOL OF TEUTONIC LANGUAGES.
Professor Harrison.
Adjunct Professor Faulkner.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: In English;
the General Entrance Examination, and, in addition, Course 1A in English
Literature or its equivalent; in German; the General Entrance Examination.
The subjects taught in this School are: the history, grammar, and
etymology of the English language (including Old and Middle English),
and English literature from its beginning to the time of Shakespeare;
High German).
I. English.
Course 1B: Course 1A in English Literature prerequisite.—Course 1B
in English is designed to lay a broad foundation for the intelligent study
of the language on both the historical (philological) and the literary side.
The opportunity is seized from the beginning to interest the student in the
history and etymology of current English words and phrases, to point him
by a general course of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and Middle English to
the gradual evolution of Modern English as we have it now, and to furnish
him with ample material for the prosecution of further study and research.
A carefully graded series of texts and text-books will lead the student
from the language of Alfred through Chaucer and the Elizabethans to the
English of Victoria. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 12—1, Cabell Hall:
Professor Harrison, Adjunct Professor Faulkner.
Course 2C: Course 1B prerequisite.—This course is a more specialized
form of Course 1B on the same general lines; a knowledge of Anglo-Saxon
is essential to its profitable prosecution. The historical study of the
language is pursued in greater detail; the student's attention is concentrated
on the history and origins of English; lectures on the Poetry and Life of
the Anglo-Saxons are given; Fourteenth Century English receives detailed
attention, and selected works of the Elizabethan period will be examined
and studied critically.
The effort will constantly be made to make these courses in the English
Language run parallel on the linguistic side with the courses in
English Literature, so that the two may profitably be taken together.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12-1, Cabell Hall: Professor Harrison,
Adjunct Professor Faulkner.
Course 3D, Course 4D: Course 2C prerequisite.—Courses 3D and
4D are open to students who desire to specialize in the subject of English.
and especially to those who select English as their major subject, or as the
primary minor subject for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A general
statement only of their character can be given. English Literature of the
Old, Middle, and New English periods to the time of Shakespeare will be
exhaustively studied; English Philology, the foundations of which will
be laid in a thorough knowledge of Gothic, Old and Middle English, Old
and Middle High German, and Old French phonology and grammar, will
receive thorough treatment; general phonetics will be carefully studied;
and the principles of comparative grammar and syntax will be duly explained.
The completion of either of these two courses will satisfy the requirements
Philosophy; the completion of both courses and the preparation of a
satisfactory dissertation will fulfill the requirements for English as the
major subject for the same degree.
In each course three hours a week (hours by appointment) is given
to lectures. In addition, the student is required to prepare, at stated
intervals, written seminary-papers, showing original research, and to attend
such other lectures and courses, in this or any other Academic School of

Required for Admission to the Work of the School: Mathematics
A, B and C, of the general entrance requirements, p. 77.
In this School, as at present organized, there are eight courses. The
class in Course 1A meets in three Sections; and that in course 2B in two
Sections.
Course 1A, Sections I and II: Admission to the School prerequisie.t
Each Section meets three times a week, and devotes about three months to
each of the three subjects—Geometry, Trigonometry, and Algebra.
In Geometry the work begins with the solution of numerous original
exercises in Plane Geometry, and proceeds through Solid Geometry with
constant drill in original exercises.
In Trigonometry, a complete course in Plane and Spherical Trigonometry
is pursued with constant drill in the solution of problems, and
exercises in the use of logarithms.
In Algebra, the work begins with the Progressions and proceeds with
Series, with special study of the Binomial, Exponential, and Logarithmic
Series. The study of Inequalities and Determinants prepares for the
Theory of Equations with which the course is closed.
Course 1A, Section III: Mathematics A, B, C and D, of the general
entrance requirements, prerequisite.
This Section meets three times a week, and devotes about three months
to each of the three subjects, Trigonometry, Algebra, and elementary
Analytical Geometry.
The first two terms of the session are devoted to Trigonometry and
Algebra, respectively; and the courses covered in these subjects are exactly
the same as those described above for Sections I and II of Course
1A. In elementary Analytical Geometry, to which the third term is devoted,
the class begins with a study of the Cartesian and polar systems of
Coordinates, with numerous exercises in the graphical representation
of equations. Especial attention is paid to the straight line and the general
equation of the first degree in two variables. The course is intended to
prepare for the study of the Analytical Geometry of the Conic Section.
In addition to the regular examination held during the session, there
will be held a special examination on the work of Course 1A on the first
day of each session, to which any student registered in the School of Mathematics
will be admitted. To a student successfully passing this examination
will be given a certificate of proficiency in the work required in Course
1A. Professor Page.
Text-Books.—Venable, Legendre's Geometry, with Exercises; Loney, Trigonometry,
Part I; Murray, Spherical Trigonometry; Charles Smith, Treatise on Algebra,
Analytical Geometry; text to be announced later.
Course 2B: Course 1A prerequisite.—The work of this course is
carried on in two sections, each of which consists of Analytical Geometry,
Differential and Integral Calculus. The arrangement of the work in the
two sections is slightly different.
Section I. Course 1A prerequisite.—The class devotes three months
to Analytical Geometry and six months to the Differential and Integral
Calculus.
In Analytical Geometry, the Cartesian method of representing a function
by points, lines, and surfaces is considered, and a special study of the
conic sections is made. In three dimensions, as far as the time permits,
the straight line, the plane and the conicoids are introduced and discussed.
In the Calculus a careful study of the functions of one variable is
made, and is followed by the study of functions of two and three variables
as far as the time allows.
In this class both the educational and the practical value of the topics
mathematics, are clearly brought to view. Constant drill at the board and
frequent examination and repetition of principles are insisted on. Professor
Echols.
Section II. This course is required of all engineering students, the
Course 1A, section III, being prerequisite. All engineering students applying
for advanced study in this course must pass a written examination
on the topics of the Course 1A. The work of the section begins the analytical
geometry of the conic sections with the study of the circle and takes
up the Differential Calculus early in November, concluding it in March.
The remainder of the session is devoted to the Integral Calculus. In this
section less attention is given to the educational and theoretical value of
Mathematics and more to the utilitarian aspect. Professor Echols.
Text-Books.—Charles Smith, Conic Sections; Notes on Analytical Geometry of
Three Dimensions; Echols, Differential and Integral Calculus.
Course 3C: Course 2B prerequisite.—This course begins with the
study of Analytical Geometry of Three Dimensions. The Differential and
Integral Calculus is taken up, at the point left off in Course 2B, and is
systematically studied along broad lines. A course of parallel reading on
the History of Mathematics is assigned and an examination held in this
subject. The course closes with the study of Ordinary Differential Equations.

Course 3C prerequisite.—In this will be presented an outline of the General
Theory of Continuous Groups of point and contact transformations. Numerous
applications to Geometry and Differential Equations will be
adduced. Professor Page.
Course 7D: A Course in Differential Equations: Course 3C prerequisite.—In
this there will be presented a course in Ordinary and Partial
Equation particular attention is paid to the theory of integration of such
equations as admit of a known Transformation Group, and the classic
methods of integration are compared with those which flow from the
Theory of Continuous Groups. A similar method is adopted in the study
of the Linear Partial Differential Equation of the First Order. As far
as the time admits, the theories of integration of the Complete System,
as well as those of the General Partial Differential Equation of the First
and Second Orders, will be discussed. Professor Page.
[Not more than two of the Courses 5D, 6D, 7D, are offered in one
session.]
Course 8D: A Course in the Theory of Functions: Course 3C prerequisite.—In
this class is offered to advanced students a course in Mathematical
Analysis. The treatment of the subject is arranged under three
heads, as follows:
The design of the numbers of analysis and the laws of the operations
to which they are subject are studied after the methods of Dedekind and
Tannery, Cantor and Weierstrass, as introductory to the study of functions.
The study of the Theory of Functions of a Real Variable, including
series, products, and continued fractions.
The General Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable is studied
after the methods of Cauchy, Riemann, and Weierstrass.
A special study is made of the series of Taylor and of Fourier. Professor

compounds. Professor Bird.
SCHOOL OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.
Professor Dunnington.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
The regular work of this School, constituting a complete course in
Practical Chemistry, is divided into two courses, as follows:
Course 1B: This course consists of three lessons a week throughout
the session, after each of which the students spend three or four hours
in practical experiments in the Laboratory. A course in Chemical manipulation,
is first given, then Blowpipe Analysis, Fire Assaying of Ores of
Lead, Gold, and Silver, and a systematic course in Inorganic Qualitative
Analysis, followed by practice in analysis of salts, alloys, and ores, determination
of minerals and the examination of potable water, coal, limestone,
clay, and so on, together with some simpler quantitative determinations.
Weekly written exercises are required.
Course 2C: The work of the second course is also given in three
lessons a week throughout the session, each being followed by four hours
or more of practical laboratory work. This course is primarily one in
Quantitative Analysis. After some training in manipulation and gravimetric
estimations, the class pursues volumetric estimations and a full
course in Quantitative Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and steel,
technical products, and so on. Weekly written exercises are required. As
the student advances in the course he is encouraged to undertake original
research and assist in its prosecution; and in determining his fitness for
graduation, work of this kind is considered as having much weight.
The Laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during all
the working hours of the day.
Students may register either for the first course, or for both courses at
the same time; candidates for the M. A. elective are required to complete
both courses. Those who accomplish this are prepared for work as
Analytical Chemists, Assayers, Druggists, or Teachers of Chemistry.
Among the works recommended to laboratory students are: Fresenius' Qualitative
and Quantitative Analysis, A. I. Cohn; Olsen's Quantitative Chemical Analysis;
Vable's Qualitative Analysis (3d ed.); Greville William's Hand-book of Chemical
Manipulation; Woehler's Examples for Practice in Chemical Analysis; Foye's HandBook
of Mineralogy.
A course of lectures in Agricultural Chemistry is given in this
School (see p. 246).
Courses for Graduates Only.—The graduate course is designed
for those seeking the degree of Ph. D., and also for such students as desire
to increase the range of their experience as analysts, and to cultivate their
powers of original investigation.
It is required for those who enter this course that they shall have previously
completed Courses 1B and 2C, in this School, and Courses 1B, 2C,
3C, and 4D in that of General Chemistry, or that they shall have previously
made equivalent attainments elsewhere.
Laboratory work will be conducted daily, and suggestions and due
assistance will be given in its prosecution.
While the work is adapted to the special aims or tastes of each student,
it will in all cases comprise some practice in the more elaborate
processes of analysis, ultimate and proximate organic analysis, some study
in analytical methods and some original problems, also the reading and
the summarizing of extracts from current journals, and, for all who are
seeking the degree of Ph. D., a dissertation embodying the results of some
original research.
The Chemical Laboratory is a building planned and erected for
the purpose. It is warmed throughout by hot water, completely fitted with
the most approved appliances, and stocked with apparatus, models, materials,
and specimens. The commodious lecture-room, with work and storeroom
attached, is provided with every convenience for exhibiting a complete
series of experiments illustrating the lectures on General Chemistry.
The Analytical Laboratory will accommodate forty working students, and
is furnished with work-tables, gas, water, and all proper laboratory fixtures;
smaller rooms are devoted to weighing, evaporations, assaying,
etc., and all requisite apparatus, chemicals, minerals, materials for analysis,
etc., are kept constantly supplied by home purchases and importation.
MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
The Biological sciences are here studied chiefly from a morphological
rather than from a physiological standpoint. Prominence is given to the
histology, and as far as possible to the cytology and to the life-histories
(both ontogenetic and phylogenetic) of the organisms studied, especially
in the advanced courses in each of the two principal sciences, with a view
of life. The work of the school is designed to meet the wants of
students who desire such knowledge of either Botany or Zoölogy (or both),
and of the methods of biological study, as may properly form a part of a
liberal education: or of those who desire such training as will fit them
for independent work as students or as teachers in either of these sciences,
or for other vocational work therein: and also of those who seek such
acquaintance with the facts and the underlying principles of the biological
sciences as will prepare them for entrance upon the study of Medicine,
or for an intelligent study of the relations of these sciences to the art
of Agriculture as set forth in another portion of this catalogue (p. 246).
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 and a note-book of approved pattern. Other necessary pieces
of apparatus will be issued to each student: a deposit with the Bursar of
a sum covering the value of articles so issued is required; this will be refunded
at the end of the session subject to deduction for loss or damage.
There is a laboratory fee for materials consumed in connection with the
work of each of the courses.
I. Botany.
Professor Tuttle.
Course 1B: Botany.—In this course a study is first made of the
essential factors of plant structure; this is followed by a brief survey of
the vegetable kingdom, beginning with the fission-algae and ending with
the seed-plants. As each group is discussed in the lectures, as many representative
members as practicable will be studied in the laboratory, including
where possible the important phases of the life-history. The
principles of classification will be considered and illustrated, and as far
as possible applied in connection with the forms studied. Lectures, Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 12 to 1 p. m. Laboratory periods, Tuesday
Thursday, Saturday, 9 to 11 a. m. The class is limited for the present
to thirty members.
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, however,
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 1B and Zoölogy 1B are prerequisite
for entrance upon either of these courses. The courses offered
are as follows.
Course 2C: Thallophytes.—This course will be devoted to the
study of the Fission-Plants: the Green Algae (in the limited sense), the
Confervales, and Charales: the Bacillariales, Brown Algae, and Dictyotales:
the Red Algae: the various orders of the Fungi, and the Lichens.
The Green Algae will be studied in greatest detail, on account of their
morphological importance as exhibiting a varied and instructive differentiation
of forms from unicellular plants to colonial coenocytic and thalloid
plant-bodies; and as the group to which the higher plants are most nearly
allied.
Course 3C: Archegoniates.—The work of this course will comprise
the study of the Liverworts: the Mosses: and the Fern-like Plants. By
far the larger portion of the course will be occupied with the latter, the
anatomy and morphology of the various orders being discussed and studied
at length, together with their relations to the acquisition of the seed-habit.
Course 4C: Spermophytes.—The study of the Seed-Plants will
comprise a discussion and examination of the anatomy, both physiological
and morphological, of the various orders of Gymnosperms and of the two
great divisions of the Angiosperms: and a study of representatives, as
far as possible, of each of the great orders of the latter group: in addition,
a few representative families will be discussed and studied in detail.
II. Zoölogy.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Course 1B: Zoölogy.—An introductory course in the morphology
and classification of both invertebrates and vertebrates. The course will
be so conducted as to afford to the student a general survey of the animal
kingdom, and to emphasize the principles involved in the formation of cell-organs,
tissues, and complex organs in the various types of animal bodies.
Lectures Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12 to 1 p. m. Laboratory periods
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9 to 11 a. m. The class is limited for the
present to thirty members.
Three courses are offered in Animal Morphology, one of which
will be given each session: each course comprises two lectures and two
laboratory periods of three hours each weekly: participation in the weekly
biological seminar is also required: the course for the year may, however,
be withdrawn if not elected by at least four students. Lectures Monday
and Wednesday from 1 to 2 p. m. Laboratory periods Tuesday and
Thursday from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. Botany 1B and Zoölogy 1B are prerequisite
for either of these courses. The courses offered are as follows:
Course 2C: The Lower Invertebrates.—In this course a detailed
study will be made of animals representing various classes and orders of
Protozoa, Coelenterata, Platyhelmia, Nemertini, Nematelminthes, Trochelminthes
and Molluscoida, involving their comparative anatomy, embryology,
and their affinities. Students will be required to collect the available
material of the vicinity for class work; to make a collection of histological
preparations; and to report at regular intervals upon the progress of
their work.
Course 3C: The Higher Invertebrates.—A similar detailed study,
under similar requirements, of animals, representing various classes and
orders of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Annulata and Arthropoda.
Course 4C: The Vertebrates.—A detailed anatomical and histological
study of animals representing various classes, sub-classes, and orders
of the Chordata. The physiology of the chordate organs will be discussed.
Vertebrate embryology as represented by that of the frog and the bird
will be briefly studied. Students will be required to make collections of
local material for class room work and to make histological preparations
representing the fundamental chordate tissues.
III. General Biology.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Course 5D: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Botany 1B,
Zoölogy 1B, and one of the advanced courses in Plant or Animal Morphology
prerequisite. This course begins with a study of the phenomena of
cell-organization and cell life in both plants and animals: this is followed
by a comparative study of the elements of structure and their embryological
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 1B and Zoölogy 1 B.
CORCORAN SCHOOL OF NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.
Professor Fontaine.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
In this School two subjects are taught, Geology and Descriptive
Mineralogy. There are two courses, as follows:
Course 1B: Three lectures a week will be given throughout the
session. The design of the course is to enable the student to obtain
such a knowledge of the science of Geology as should be possessed by a
well-educated man. As full an exposition of the fundamental principles
will be given as the time will allow.
Text-Books.—Scott's Introduction to Geology, and Notes of the Professor's
lectures.
Course 2C: Course 1B prerequisite.—This course consists of two
divisions, one in Mineralogy, the other in Geology.
Mineralogy.—The course in Mineralogy closes in February.
Three lectures a week are given in it. In this course attention is paid
to crystallography, and especially to the physical properties of minerals.
In Descriptive Mineralogy the relations, geological occurrence, and history
of the individual species are made prominent.
Text-Books.—Dana's Manual of Mineralogy and Petrology. The instruction
will be in part by lectures.
Geology.—This division of the course begins after the completion
of Mineralogy in February. The more general and complicated problems
in all the branches of Geology will be dealt with in this course. As
thorough a treatment as possible will be given of Stratigraphy, Lithology,
and Paleontology. More stress will be laid on the methods of field-work
and the application of geological principles. The aim will be to give such
a knowledge of the subject as may be useful to the student in breadwinning
pursuits, or may serve as a basis for the more specialized course
required for the attainment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Text-Books.—Chamberlin and Salisbury's Geology in part. For reference: Geikie's
Text-Book of Geology. The instruction will be in part by lectures.
The advanced course in this School is intended to give the student
as large a stock of useful information as possible, to teach him methods
of investigation, and to train him in habits of observation. Original research
will be insisted on, and opportunity will be given for the student
to concentrate his efforts in some line of special study.
Topics for study will be taken from both of the subjects taught in
this School. The abundant material in the Lewis Brooks Museum, mentioned
below, gives unusual facilities for the pursuit of graduate work.
Course 3D: Descriptive Mineralogy.—The course of Mineralogy
is so selected as to give the student a good knowledge of as wide a
range of the principles as possible, and at the same time to cause him to
acquire a practical knowledge of the various mineral species. In the
practical study, the more common minerals, and those of more importance
from an economic and geologic point of view, will have preference. A
practical knowledge of the crystal forms and of the characteristic groupings
and massive forms of minerals, will be required. Special attention
will be paid to the relations of minerals, their association in nature, and
their geological occurrence. The student will be trained to determine
minerals, as far as possible, by their obvious characteristics, without the
help of tests, and practical examinations will be held, from time to time,
to test his skill. One or more these will be required.
Dana's Text-Book of Mineralogy, and Weisbach's Mineral Tables will be used;
and topics from various authors will be assigned for study in special cases.
Course 4D: Geology.—In Geology the aim will be to fit the student
for independent and original research. He will study as thoroughly
as possible the broader problems of the science, involving the knowledge
of stratigraphical principles. Special attention will be given to imparting a
practical knowledge of the various rocks, and of the animal and plant
fossils of the different eras, with the view of using them in determining
unknown formations. Stress will be laid upon field work, and the methods
of determining and describing the geology of new regions. To impart
such knowledge, the student will be required to work up some particular
region or formation, and report his results. Topics involving a knowledge
of the literature and growth of opinion in relation to particular questions
may be assigned to form the subject of theses.
Camberlin and Salisbury's Geology will be used as a text-book, and selected
books of other authors will be used when necessary.
The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the
main subdivisions of Natural History. Each of the collections is arranged
so as to exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same
time offers a large variety of subjects for advanced study. In Geology
the specimens show all the different kinds of rocks, classified according
to mineral character and the formation in which they occur; the collection
of fossils, plaster casts, maps, etc., is exceptionally fine, and fully
illustrates Historical Geology. In Mineralogy the principles of the science
are made plain by well-chosen suits of specimens, models of crystals, etc.
The general collection of minerals contains all the important minerals, and
fine and large collection of mounted skeletons, stuffed animals, dried specimens,
plaster casts, etc. In Botany the collections contain charts, papier-maché
models of flowers and fruits, sections of wood, etc.: the bulk
of the collection is in the form of an herbarium, selected from the most
important and interesting botanical regions of the world. In addition to
the above, a beginning has been made of a collection to illustrate the
geology and mineralogy of the State of Virginia, and this will be increased
as rapidly as possible.
These large and carefully selected collections of geological and mineralogical
objects afford unsurpassed facilities for the full illustration
of the principles taught. As free access to these collections is allowed
the student, he can find in their study an opportunity, rarely obtained, for
gaining a practical acquaintance with natural objects acquired from various
parts of the world, and chosen for their typical character. These collections
are especially useful to students pursuing advanced work in Geology
and Mineralogy.

Course in Public Speaking.
Adjunct Professor Paul.
The course in public speaking organizes a new course and modifies
an existing course in the School of English Literature, and also trains
men from the Literary Societies for several intercollegiate contests.
The course deals with the theory and practice of Public Speaking.
Its aim is to prepare the student to express his thoughts and feelings
clearly and effectively before an audience. No attempt is made to give
the more elaborate discipline necessary for the public reader and impersonator.
In order that emphasis may fall upon improvement in form,
speeches from the great orators are used as material for drill work. At
each lesson, every member in the section is called in turn before the class
to render his lines and receive suggestions for further progress. The
theory is not set forth by lectures, but by comments upon the efforts of
the individual student and upon the end sought by the author of the
oration under interpretation.
The regular English course in Argumentation, if time permits, will
will deal not only with logical structure and effective tactics but also
with manner of delivery.
From the Literary Societies, by the sifting process of preliminary
trials, candidates for three oratorical and three debating contests are
chosen. The successful men will then be eligible to individual instruction
in daily rehearsals until the final competition takes place.

THE COLLEGE.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D., | President |
| JAMES MORRIS PAGE, M. A., Ph. D., | Dean |
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—For
entrance to the College the candidate must either present satisfactory
certificates, or pass the entrance examinations described in detail, pp. 69-82.
The four units which the candidate may select at will (pp. 69-82), must
be so chosen as to absolve in full the requirements for entrance upon the
courses for which he desires to be registered.
These are the minimum requirements for admission to the College;
and any candidate for admission who has received a preparation more
ample than is thus represented will be admitted to advanced standing on
satisfactory evidence of his attainments, in accordance with the conditions
stated on p. 74.
All undergraduate students are regarded as members of the College.
Full opportunity has in the past been, and will in the future be, given to
any student to carry out any definite plan of work which he may have in
view on coming to the University, or which may have been prescribed for
him by those under whose direction he is completing his education. Every
student is, however, expected to come to the University for a definite purpose:
and when no well considered plan, as above indicated, has been
outlined in advance, and the end in view is that for which the great
majority of students enter college, namely, the attainment of a liberal
education, the student in question will be expected to enter upon the regular
work of the College, which leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
or to that of Bachelor of Science.
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
subject to certain restrictions and exceptions detailed below,—from the
following groups of subjects:

from the subjects of some one of the five groups (p. 151); and
this group is to be known as the Candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.
(a) The candidate who offers both B Latin and B Greek from Group
I (p. 151) is required to offer only two electives-at-large (Section
(1), (c)), these must be selected, however, in accordance with the
requirements, Section (3), regarding the Major Group.
(b) The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section (1),
(a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer in lieu
of the three electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c)), the work of the
first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine, or any three
technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. A. degree and
a professional degree may save one year of the time required for
both degrees.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE.
The degree of Bachelor of Science at the University of Virginia
as at present organized in the College is designed to meet the needs of
two distinct classes of candidates.
The first class consists of those candidates who wish to obtain a baccalaureate
degree representing general culture, but who do not desire
or are unable to offer the classical language required of every candidate
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
The second class consists of those candidates who desire to fit themselves,
in not less than four years, to pursue advantageously some vocation,
for which special training in one of the natural or mathematical
sciences is necessary,—such as the vocation of practical chemist, physicist,
biologist, or geologist; or that of teacher of one of the natural or mathematical
sciences, in a high-school or college.
The regulations subject to which the degree of Bachelor of Science
is conferred,—whether as a cultural degree, or as a vocational degree,—
are detailed below. In each case the candidate must complete the work
of thirteen courses.
I. Regulations Concerning the Cultural Degree of
Bachelor of Science.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 74) the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, and of Mathematics 1A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work of seven B Courses,
selected from the five groups given above (p. 151), as follows: two B
Courses must be selected from Group I, and neither of these shall be a
Course in Latin or Greek; one B Course must be selected from Group
II; two from Group III; one from Group IV; and one from Group V.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of four courses
selected from the electives-at-large, in accordance with section (3), below,
of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should
take English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, a foreign language
from Group I, and a Natural Science from Group III.
(2) Time Required for Obtaining the B. S. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1)), are required to undertake the
work of three courses each session; and of only three unless otherwise
authorized by the Academic Faculty. Hence the time normally
required for obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Science, by the
candidate who enters without advanced standing, is four years.
(See also Section (4), (b), below.)
The candidate who enters, with advanced standing, from another
College (p. 74), must devote at least one full session exclusively to
Collegiate work here, and must complete the work of at least three
of the required B Courses, (Section (1)), in this College. The programme
of studies offered by such candidate must satisfy all the
requirements of the B. S. degree as here established.
(3) Electives-at-Large, and Major Group.
Each elective at-large consists of a B Course or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected seven B Courses in accordance with Section (1), (b), of
these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, contained in the list, pp. 157-163
or any C Course, of which the precedent B Course has been completed,
contained in the list, pp. 169-175.
selected from the subjects of some one of the five groups (p. 151);
and this group is to be known as the Candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-Large.
The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section (1),
(a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer in
lieu of three of the four electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c)),
the work of the first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine,
or any three technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. S. degree and
a professional degree, may save one year of the time required for
both degrees.
II. Regulations Concerning the Vocational Degree of
Bachelor of Science.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing, (p. 74), the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, and Mathematics 1A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work in French 2B and
German 2B, and must also complete one B Course from Group II
(p. 151), and two B Courses from Group III. These five courses
should be completed during the first two years of candidacy.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of six courses
selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below
of these regulations.
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A. Mathematics 1A, either French 2B, or
German 2B; and a B Course from Group III.
(2) Time required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1)), are required to undertake the
work of three courses each session; and of only three unless otherwise
authorized by the Academic Faculty. Hence, the time normally
required for obtaining the vocational degree of Bachelor of
Science, by the candidate who enters without advanced standing,
is four years.
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 74) must devote at least one full session to collegiate
required B or C Courses in this College. The programme of studies
offered by such candidate must satisfy all the requirements of the
vocational B. S. degree as here established.
(3) Major School and Electives-at-Large.
At least two years before the date of expected graduation the
candidate must select one of the Schools of Natural or Mathematical
Science as his Major, or principal, School; and during the
remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that School. As
subsidiary to the principal subject thus chosen, he shall pursue
such other courses within the limits of the electives-at-large (see
below) as are deemed most important in his case by the professor
or professors in charge of his major school, and approved by the
Academic Faculty.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or of a C Course
of which the precedent B Course has been completed. After five
B Courses have been chosen in accordance with Section (1), (b),
of these regulations, the six electives-at-large required are to be
selected, (subject to the restrictions detailed in the first paragraph
of this section), from the lists of B and C Courses enumerated
pp. 157-163, and pp. 169-175, respectively.
(4) Title Conferred with Diploma.
The name of the principal subject selected by the successful candidate
shall be inscribed upon his diploma. For example, the successful
candidate who selected one of the Schools of Chemistry
as his major School, (Section (3)), shall receive the title of
"Bachelor of Science in Chemistry."
COURSES IN THE ACADEMIC SCHOOLS WHICH ARE OPEN
TO COLLEGE STUDENTS AS ELECTIVES FOR THE
DEGREES OF BACHELOR OF ARTS AND
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE.
A brief summary is here presented of the courses open to election
by candidates for the baccalaureate degree under the preceding group
system and as electives at large: in addition candidates may offer as
electives at large any of the graduate courses open to candidates for
the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science, a summary of which,
with a schedule of lecture and examination hours is given on pages 169-176:
provided that in each case the undergraduate course or courses prerequisite
for the subject in question have been completed.
Where a course is stated to be prerequisite to a second course, the
professor concerned, the circumstances justify such a privilege.
A full description of each of these courses will be found in the
statement of the Academic Schools upon pages 112-149.

THE DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE STUDIES.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D., | President. |
| RICHARD HEATH DABNEY, M. A., Ph. D., | Dean. |
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
possession of a baccalaureate degree from a recognized institution of
collegiate rank: or, in the case of a graduate of an institution of such
rank that does not confer a baccalaureate degree, presentation of a certificate
of graduation in a course of study accepted by the Academic
Faculty as fully equivalent to that ordinarily required for the degree in
question. A candidate entering the University under these conditions
will be registered as a Graduate Student if he is pursuing one or more
graduate courses: he may, however, be permitted, or, if he is a candidate
for a degree who enters from another college, be required to take in
addition such strictly undergraduate courses as may be desirable or necessary
for his purpose.
Graduate in a School.
Any student who successfully completes all the courses offered in
any Academic School is entitled to a diploma of graduation in that
School: but a student thus pursuing graduate studies will not be registered
as a member of this Department unless he has satisfied the conditions
above stated.
Master of Arts.
The degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia will
be conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts of this University who has completed
the work in four fully organized graduate courses chosen by himself
and approved by the Academic Faculty; each of which courses must
be one in which the professor regularly meets the class not less than
three hours a week. The four courses must be chosen from at least
three distinct subjects distributed among three different Academic Schools,
except by special order of the Academic Faculty; and three of the courses
must be cognate. Students who take such graduate courses in some subjects
before receiving the B. A. degree will not be granted the M. A.
degree unless they take at least two of their graduate courses in the academic
year when the latter degree is conferred.
A brief summary of the C courses open to candidates for the Master's
hours of lectures and examinations: a description of each is given in its
proper connection in that portion of the catalogue which treats of the
work of the independent Academic Schools.
The courses indicated are also, in many cases, included among the
advanced courses that may be offered as electives at large for the degree
of Bachelor of Arts: credit can be obtained for any such course in but
one of these capacities by the same candidate; work done for the lower
degree being in no case counted again as part of the work required for the
attainment of the higher degree.
Students holding baccalaureate degrees from other chartered institutions
of learning and desiring admission to candidacy for the degree of
Master of Arts should write immediately to the Registrar of the University
and ask for a blank form of application, to be filled out (partly
by the applicant, and partly by the President of the institution from
which the applicant has received a degree) and promptly returned to the
Registrar. When the Committee on Academic Degrees has duly considered
the application and reported to the Academic Faculty, the latter
will decide whether the application will be accepted; and, if so, the applicant
will then be informed what work he will have to do in order to
obtain the M. A. degree.
In general, the Faculty will require that, unless the baccalaureate
degree of the candidate conforms with reasonable closeness to the B. A.
degree of the University in the character of its requirements, the candidate
must take such undergraduate courses here as will supplement his
deficiencies. In particular, the Faculty will require the candidate to take
not only the four graduate courses mentioned above, but also the undergraduate
courses in the same subjects, unless convinced by the report
of the Committee on Academic Degrees that the candidate's work done
elsewhere in one or more of these subjects has been fully equal in quality
and quantity to the undergraduate work required in such subject or subjects
at the University of Virginia. Nor can the candidate be excused
from doing the undergraduate work in any one of these four subjects
without the consent of the professor of that subject.
Master of Science.
The degree of Master of Science of the University of Virginia
will be conferred upon a holder of the cultural degree (p. 154) of Bachelor
of Science, under regulations exactly similar to those under which the
degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts. Candidates
for the degree of Master of Science need, therefore,—in order
to see in detail what will be required of them,—merely substitute the
"B. A." and "M. A." respectively occur in the statement (pp. 165-166) of
the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.
Doctor of Philosophy.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Virginia
will be conferred upon the holder of a cultural baccalaureate 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,
chosen by himself from at least two Academic Schools, and approved
by the Academic Faculty; this graduate work to be pursued for at least
three years in the major subject, for at least two years in the primary
minor, and for at least one year in the secondary minor subject. It is
also provided that any student taking the second or third year of graduate
work in a subject may be required by the professor, with the approval
of the Academic Faculty, to attend such lectures or courses in any of the
Academic Schools as the professor may deem necessary.
The "reading knowledge" of French and German mentioned above
is intended to enable the candidate to pursue his chosen subjects through
the medium of books and periodicals in the French and German languages.
His ability to do this must be tested at the beginning of the
first year of his candidacy by examinations on these languages in the
presence of a committee consisting of the professor of the candidate's
major subject and the professors of French and German. In case of
failure on either or both of the examinations, he will be required to enter
the appropriate class or classes in one or both of the languages, and
will not be regarded as a regular candidate for the doctorate until he has
fulfilled the requirements in French and German. It is provided, however,
that any student who has already passed on the B course in either
or both of the languages at this University shall be considered as having
the requisite knowledge of either or both of them, as the case may be.
Graduate work done in other universities may be accepted in lieu
of resident work done here, provided sufficient evidence is furnished by
examination, written or oral, or both, that such work has been of a grade
similar to that required here, and has been satisfactorily performed, and
provided also that, while it shall be possible for a candidate to get
credit in this way for the whole of his secondary minor subject, every
candidate must take here at least one advanced course in his primary
minor, and at least one year's work in his major subject.
It is also provided that a candidate who is a professor, in charge
of the subject selected by him as major, in a chartered college or university,
years in resident work at this University. The graduate work of the
last year of candidacy shall in all cases be done at this University, unless
the Academic Faculty shall for special reasons direct otherwise.
Upon the completion of the approved courses, the candidate shall
submit to the Academic Faculty a Dissertation exhibiting independent
research in some branch of his major subject. The Dissertation must
be submitted not later than April 15 of the year in which the candidate
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.
The conditions on which students holding baccalaureate degrees
from other chartered institutions of learning are admitted to candidacy
for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are as follows.
Each applicant should write to the Registrar of the University and
ask for a blank form of application to be filled out (partly by the applicant,
and partly by the President of the institution from which the
applicant has received a degree) and promptly returned to the Registrar
When the application has been duly considered by the Committee on
Academic Degrees and by the Academic Faculty, the applicant will be
informed as to the work which he, if accepted as a candidate, will have
to do in order to secure the Doctor's degree. The general rule will be
that unless his baccalaureate degree conforms with reasonable closeness to
one of the cultural baccalaureate degrees of this University in the nature
of its requirements, he must take such undergraduate courses here as will
supplement his deficiencies. In particular, he will be required to take
not only the graduate work in his three chosen subjects, but the undergraduate
courses as well, unless the Faculty is convinced that his work
done elsewhere in one or more of these subjects has been fully equal in
or subjects at this University. Moreover, the individual professor of any
of these three subjects may require the candidate to take his undergraduate
course, should he regard him as insufficiently grounded in the fundamental
facts or principles of the subject.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the University for a Virginia student in
the Department of Graduate Studies may be estimated at from $160 a
year upward, according to the mode of living; for students from other
States this minimum should be increased by a sum ranging from $90 to
$130 for tuition fees. A fuller statement of expenses, including the conditions
under which Virginia or other students are entitled to free tuition,
will be found on pp. 92-98.
Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who are granted
the privilege of non-residence during a portion of their candidacy, under
conditions above stated, are required to matriculate and to pay the annual
University fee of $40 if not Virginians, and $10 if Virginians, during
such period of non-residence.
COURSES IN THE ACADEMIC SCHOOLS WHICH ARE OPEN TO
GRADUATE STUDENTS.
A brief summary is here presented of the courses open to election
by candidates for the Master's and Doctor's degrees.
Where an undergraduate course is stated to be prerequisite to a
graduate course, the latter may be taken parallel with the former if, in
the judgment of the professor concerned, the circumstances justify such
a privilege.
A full description of each of these courses will be found in the
statements of the Academic Schools upon preceding pages 109-149.

[Inquiries with reference to Entrance Requirements should be addressed
to the Dean of the University.
For information as to lodgings, board, expenses, etc., and for catalogues,
and other printed literature, address the Registrar.
For other information address the Dean of the Law School.]
Among the original schools contemplated in Mr. Jefferson's plan for the
organization of the University of Virginia was "Law: Municipal and
Foreign; Embracing the General Principles, Theory, and Practice of
Jurisprudence, together with the Theory and Principles of Constitutional
Government." Accordingly the School of Law was established in 1826,
and has been in continuous operation since, even during the four years of
the civil war.
From its inception until 1894, the course comprised the work of a
single year. Beginning with the session of 1894-95, a two years' course
was inaugurated, which has continued up to the present time. As indicated
below, commencing with the session of 1909-10, the course will be
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
has been vindicated by the high position to 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 confidently believed that the enlarged course now offered will enable
those who complete it more surely to maintain that rank at the bar which
the University has always expected of her sons.
Formerly it was possible for the law student to begin and complete his
professional studies in the office of some friendly member of the bar—
Blackstone's Commentaries and the Code of his State forming the main
portion of his curriculum. Then the authorities were few, the leading
principles alone were settled, and their application was comparatively
simple. In more recent times, so widened is the scope of the law, so complex
its principles, so nice and yet so important its distinctions, so numerous
and conflicting the authorities, that it is scarcely practicable for even
the most diligent student to master the subject, in its multiform phases,
without the systematic instruction of skilled teachers. Furthermore, the
increased and increasing scope and rigor of the examinations for admission
to the bar in the several States call for a more extensive course of
study than was afforded in former days by the law school, and a wider
and more intimate knowledge of legal principles than can generally be
acquired by private study. It is a maxim sanctioned by long and wide
experience that "he who is not a good lawyer when he comes to the
bar, will seldom be a good one afterwards." In order to acquire such
thorough knowledge of the elements of the law, thought as well as reading
is requisite; and, for the purpose of thought, there must be time to
digest as well as industry to acquire. One cannot gorge himself with
legal principles and digest them afterwards; the process of assimilation,
if it is to proceed healthfully and beneficially, must accompany the reception
of knowledge.
These considerations have led to a general conviction among the
leaders of professional thought throughout the country that no student
should essay the practice of the law who has not spent at least three years
in close and attentive study in a law school.
Three Year Course.—In view of the foregoing considerations,
instead of the two years' course heretofore offered, a more extended
course of three years will be inaugurated, after the session of 1908-1909.
An outline of the new course appears below.
Suggestions as to Preliminary Education.—Students, and their parents
or guardians, are warned that the Law is peculiarly an intellectual
profession, and demands for its successful prosecution, whether at the
Law School or in the broader fields of professional life, a well-trained
diligent and persistent effort, develop after entrance upon practice, such
exceptional cases but serve to illustrate the rule, that out of a given number
of young men entering upon the study of the Law, those with sound
preliminary training will have incomparably the advantage, while those
without it will be seriously handicapped, and are likely never to rise above
mediocrity in their profession.
The experience of the Law Faculty—nay, of all law teachers—is,
that the standing and progress of law students are, in large measure,
in the ratio of their academic preparation. Young gentlemen are therefore
advised not to begin their legal studies until they have completed
an academic course approximating that ordinarily required for the degree
of Bachelor of Arts. So high a standard, however, is not exacted
as a condition of entrance into the Law School. These conditions are
shown in the following section, and its references.
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
General Entrance Examination, or admission to the University by certificate
or diploma, as stated in a preceding portion of this catalogue, pp.
69-82. For exemption from this rule in the case of Special Students not
candidates for the degree, see the section following. Candidates for the
degree must have attained the age of eighteen before entering the Law
School.
Special Students.—Applicants for registration who are twenty
years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective courses,
must present adequate proofs of good character and of the needful maturity
and training. Such applicants may then be registered as Special Students,
and will be admitted without formal examination to the privileges
of the Law School, but not as candidates for the degree.
With the admonition that over-zealousness, whereby an ambitious
student is beguiled into the assumption of more work than he can thoroughly
master in a given time, leads to cramming and inaccuracy, and
often to complete failure, the special student is free to select his own
work.
Admission to Advanced Standing.-No credit is given for attendance
at another law school, nor for time spent in private reading. The candidate
for graduation must spend all three years in residence.
Late Entrance.—Registration commences Thursday, September
16, and the work of the Law School begins promptly the Monday following.
Students are advised that late entrance is a serious hindrance
to progress. The student who enters late must begin his work at the
point to which the work has advanced at the time of his entrance; and
credit for three years' attendance cannot be given unless the student's
in absentia is permissible.
As regards conditions of admission in case of late entrance, reference
is made to the Regulations concerning Registration, as stated ante
p. 87.
Expenses.—A detailed estimate of the necessary expenses of a
student in the Department of Law will be found in an earlier part of this
catalogue, under the general head of "Expenses." 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 proportion which the work chosen bears to
the whole.
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 cases. While
convinced of the value of the combined text-book and lecture system,
which has prevailed for more than half a century in the Law School,
and from which, in the inauguration of the more extended course, it is
not meant in any wise to depart, the Law Faculty have long appreciated
the value which the study of cases possesses, in illustrating the practical
application of legal principles, and in forcing the student to extract for
himself the doctrine which the cases establish. The enlargement of the
course gives opportunity for more emphasis upon this form of instruction,
and the case-book will, therefore, be used more extensively than hereto-fore—not
as supplanting, but as supplementing, the text-book and lecture.
The daily 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 misconceptions of legal principles on the
part of the student.
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
School; and have successfully passed the required examinations, with
satisfactory performance of the work of the Moot and Practice Courts,
and of the assigned work.
More specifically, the candidate for graduation must have completed
all of the obligatory courses (see Outline of Courses, below), the credit
value of which is six hundred (600) units, and elective courses of at
least the credit value of two hundred and fifty (250) units—or a total
of eight hundred and fifty (850) units.
Candidates for the degree, who in any session have less than one full
year's course to complete, may be required to take such additional work,
and to stand such additional examinations as shall be prescribed.
OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The entire course of three years embraces 1000 lecture periods (or
units) of one and a half hours each, and to each subject satisfactorily
completed is attached a credit value of one unit for each lecture period
comprised therein. Of the total units, 600 are classed as obligatory and
the remaining 400 as elective. Graduation requires the completion of all the
obligatory courses (credit value 600), plus elective courses having a credit
value of at least 250 units—or a minimum required total of 850 units.
This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13½ hours)
per week during the first and second years, and eight periods (or 12 hours),
the third year. The credit value of course number 4 (see table below) is
16 units.
Each session is divided into three terms,—Sept 15 to Dec. 23—Jan. 3
to March 21—and March 22 to June 6.
Written examinations are held during the final week of each term,
on the subjects completed during the term.
The following tabular outline indicates the scope of the courses offered.

Alteration of Courses and Schedules.—The right is reserved to
make such alterations in the nature or number of courses offered, or in
the schedules of lectures and examinations, as may be deemed necessary
or expedient.
MOOT COURT.
A Moot Court is organized by the students in the First Year's course
for the discussion of legal questions. Its meetings begin at the opening and
continue to the end of the session, with such interruptions only as are
incident to the proximity of the examinations. Attendance is voluntary,
as presence during the debates is intended to be a privilege and not a
burden. But every candidate for the degree is required to argue at least
one case in the Moot Court, and to hand in a carefully prepared brief of
his argument, with a digest of the authorities relied on. The questions are
chosen by the Law Faculty, one of whom presides over the discussions.
Interest and life are added to the proceedings by the open debate held
after the argument, the presiding judge acting as interlocutor, and leading
into the debate those whom diffidence prompts to silence.
PRACTICE COURT.
The object of the Practice Court is to afford to the student practical
facility in the procedure which he will be called on to apply at the bar,
and to familiarize him with the whole proceedings in actions at law, and
suits in equity.
The Practice Court is presided over by members of the Law Faculty,
and is organized shortly after the beginning of the session. Its terms are
held weekly. Attendance, with punctual performance of all assigned work
is an essential part of the courses in Virginia Pleading and Practice, and
Equity Procedure.
PRIZE.
Edward Thompson Company Prize.—The prize for the best thesis on
a subject assigned by the Law Faculty is awarded annually in a competition
open to members of the third year class, who are candidates for
graduation. It is donated by the Edward Thompson Company of Northport,
N. Y., and consists of a set of the second edition of the American and
English Encyclopedia of Law (32 volumes), of the estimated value of $240.
The Edward Thompson Company Prize for the session of 1907-'08 was
awarded to William Kenneth Jackson, B. A., of Jacksonville, Fla. The
subject for the thesis was: "Scope and Effect of the Sunday Laws in
Virginia."
LIBRARY.
The Law Library is accommodated by its own library rooms, separate
from the general University library. The rooms are heated by steam and
lighted by electricity, and are located with special reference to the convenience
of the law students. A librarian is in attendance during working
hours.
The library contains practically a complete set of the English Reports
to date; the reports of nearly all the States; the United States
Supreme Court Reports; the National Reporter System Complete; modern
annotated reports, such as the American Decisions, American Reports,
American State Reports, Law Reports Annotated, English Ruling Cases,
etc.; and all the modern search-books, in the form of general digests (including
the Century) and Encyclopedias, besides a large collection of textbooks.
Law students have all the privileges of the general University
Library, containing more than 60,000 volumes, without extra charge.
NEW LAW BUILDING.
By the liberality of the Virginia Legislature, a sufficient appropriation
is immediately available for the erection of a handsome building for the
Law School—plans for which are now being drawn. It is hoped that by
the beginning of the session of 1909-10, or shortly thereafter, the building
will be ready for occupancy.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Requirements for Admission to the Department of Medicine.—
Applicants for admission to the work of the first year of the Course in
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 at
least a three years' course; or acceptable certificates which represent
work equivalent in amount and character to such a high school course;
and, in addition, to present satisfactory evidence of the completion of
college courses in physics, chemistry, and biology equivalent to but not
necessarily identical with those at this institution. A student may be
conditioned on physics or biology (but not on both), this condition to be
removed before entering on the work of the second year. The requirement
in biology may be waived in the case of graduates of approved colleges
and universities.
Further information concerning the character of these requirements
and forms for certificates may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the
University, or Mr. Howard Winston, Registrar, at the University.
Announcement of Change in Entrance Requirements beginning
with 1910.—From and after June 1, 1910, the minimum amount of
preparation necessary for admission to the Medical Department will
be the completion of a four-year high school course or its equivalent,
and, in addition, the completion of college courses in Inorganic Chemistry,
Physics, Biology, and one foreign language, preferably German.
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
Chemistry, Gross Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Bacteriology
and Pathology, Physiological Chemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and
Materia Medica. 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 by 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 not only
acquires an understanding of the medical sciences but, more important
than this, the ability to apply the facts of these sciences to the subsequent
study of disease. For these reasons the great fundamental sciences receive
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 a careful, thorough,
face-to-face study of disease and its management by the individual student.
The facilities afforded by the University Hospital and Dispensary
are described on a subsequent page. In the third year, after two sessions
devoted to laboratory training, the student is introduced to the study
of disease in living persons. In the dispensary and, to a less extent, 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. The material for this purpose is ample—all that can be employed
thoroughly. 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 views 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 850 cases. When it is added that this number will be largely
exceeded this year, and that the classes of students are quite small, it is
clear that the Department offers capable young men clinical advantages
which are distinctly exceptional.
Opportunities are offered in the fourth year for more extended training
in certain subjects with a view toward possible specialization after
graduation. See especially the description of courses in physiology,
pharmacology, and pathology.
A Medical and Biological Journal Club is maintained by members of
the faculty, at which reviews of important articles or original research
are presented by the instructors and by invited guests. Its sessions are
open to the more advanced students.
Regulations.—The records given after the regular examination on
a course, with their explanations, are as follows:
PASSED indicates the satisfactory completion of the course and admits
to all dependent subjects.
CONDITIONED means that to obtain a clear record on the course the
student must pass the next special examination. Failure to take or to
pass this examination is equivalent to a record of "failed."
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.
No student will be admitted to any subject of the second or the
third year if more than one third of the work of the preceding 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 2, 20 points; Bacteriology, 8 points;
Pathology, 20 points; Pharmacology, 8 points.
Students will not be allowed to undertake the work of the third
or fourth year until they have completed that of the first year, save by
special consent of the Medical Faculty.
A student may not take any course, either in whole or in part (as
explained under the above definition of "failed"), more than two times.
A second record of "failed" on the same course involves withdrawal from
the Department of Medicine.
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 with a grade of at least eighty per cent.
in each subject for which credit is sought. Applicants complying with
these conditions will be admitted to advanced standing without examination.
Applicants who have not completed all of the work of the year
or years preceding that to which they seek admission are admitted to
the Fall Examinations under the conditions stated in the subsequent
paragraph on Examinations. The right is reserved in every case to
obtain satisfactory evidence of the genuineness of a certificate by correspondence
with the proper authority of the school from which the applicant
comes.
No credit can be allowed for time not spent in a regular school of
medicine; except that applicants holding the degree of A. B. or B. S.
from a reputable college or university will be admitted to the second
year, provided their academic course has included the equivalent of the
first-year medical course.
A student who is already a graduate of a reputable school of medicine
may be received as a student in this Department for the fourth
year.
Certificates of Attendance.—Students who attend the whole regular
course of one or more of the fourth years are entitled to certificates
of attendance.
Requirements for Graduation.—The degree of Doctor of Medicine
is conferred by the University of Virginia upon candidates who have
complied with the entrance requirements of this Department; attended
a regular medical course of four years of at least eight months each,
the last two of which must have been at this institution; and have satisfactorily
completed all of the subjects included in the medical course.
Examinations.—These are in writing, accompanied in most subjects
by individual practical examinations. The regular 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

In the following description of courses, the number of hours represents
the amount of time each student devotes to the course. In the clinical
work, where the class is divided into sections, it is often possible to
give only approximately the number of hours spent by each student on
each subject.
ANATOMY.
Professor Whitehead.
Adjunct Professor Byrnes.
Adjunct Professor Jordan.
Mr. Smart.
The work in this subject extends through the entire first year and
the first six months of the second year. It is divided, for the sake of
convenience, as follows:
Anatomy 1.—Six hours weekly until November 1st; twelve hours
weekly from November 1st to the end of the winter term of the first year.
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.
grade. Dr. Whitehead.
Anatomy 2.—Six hours weekly during the spring term of the first
year. In this course, the central nervous system is studied in some detail.
The study begins with the spinal cord, its membranes, circulation, and gross
anatomy. One complete spinal cord is given to each two students. This
is followed by the microscopic study of sections from the more important
spinal segments.
The brain is then studied in a similar manner. In the gross study
one entire brain is furnished to each two students, supplemented by transverse
and sagittal sections. The microscopic sections consist of a transverse
series extending from the pyramidal decussation to the head of the
caudate nucelus, so arranged that each student will have at least twenty-five
sections in series, thus affording sufficient continuity of structure.
Great emphasis is attached to laboratory work, and the actual knowledge
of the specimens studied. This is supplemented by recitations, and occasional
lectures. Dr. Byrnes.
Anatomy 3.—Ten hours weekly from October 1st through the fall
term and fourteen hours weekly during the winter term of the second
year. 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. Dr. Byrnes.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the fall and winter terms of the first year.
The student's record in the course will depend upon his recitations, laboratory
drawing books, and final examination, both written and practical.
The course aims to acquaint the student primarily with the microscopic
structure of cells, tissues, and organs. Cytogenesis and histogenesis are
briefly considered in the case of many tissues studied; and the relation
of the whole subject of histology to pathology is never lost sight of. The
student is also given opportunity to acquaint himself with the principles
and practice of histological technique. The laboratory is excellently
equipped with microscopes, paraffin baths, microtomes, and various accessories
essential to the most favorable presentation of this course.
A record of seventy per cent. in this course is required for admission
to Physiology 2, and of eighty per cent. for admission to Pathology.
Dr. Jordan and Mr. Smart.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the spring term of the first
year. The laboratory work (six hours weekly) is accompanied by lectures,
recitations, and the study of models and text-books. The course aims to
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. Smart.
CHEMISTRY.
Professor Bird.
Adjunct Professor Bedford.
Organic Chemistry.—Three hours of lectures and six hours of
laboratory work during the fall and winter terms of the first year.
In this course a very intense and systematic study is made of the principles
of organic chemistry, with special reference, at appropriate places,
to compounds of medical importance. Such constant reference is made to
the analogous phenomena of inorganic chemistry as will coordinate the
work as far as possible with the student's previous study of general
chemistry. The object is to lay a good foundation for the courses that
follow in physiological chemistry, pharmacology, etc.; and also to instruct
the student carefully in the methods of investigation of chemical
problems.
The student prepares in sufficient quantity one or more compounds
that illustrate the essential characteristics of each of the more important
classes of organic compounds, a compound of medical interest being selected
wherever advisable. Great stress is laid on the proper experimental
method of studying chemistry, and numerous questions are attached
to the directions for each experiment in order to force the student to
adopt a comparative method of studying at the time the type compound
is being prepared and its reactions illustrated.
Brief instruction is given in the methods of quantitative analysis of
organic compounds, both ultimate and proximate.
A record of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to Physiology 1 (Physiological Chemistry.)
PHYSIOLOGY.
Professor Hough.
Mr. Purdum.
Mr. Setzler.
Mr. Vaiden.
The required course of study in this subject begins with the spring
term of the first year and continues throughout the second year. It is
divided into two courses, as follows:
Physiology 1: Physiological Chemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations,
and nine hours of laboratory work weekly during the spring term
of the first year. The fundamentals of physiological chemistry, especially
the chemical structure, properties, and reactions of the more important
compounds with which the student must deal in his subsequent studies
of physiology. The laboratory work, for which ample facilities are provided,
consists of the thorough study of the properties of the carbohydrates,
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 not only a clear understanding
of the problems of physiological chemistry but also skill in
the use of the fundamental qualitative and quantitative methods.
A grade of 70 per cent. on this course is required for admission to
Physiology 2. Open only to students who have attained a grade of 70
per cent. in Organic Chemistry.
Physiology 2.—The Physiology of Function.— Four hours weekly
of lectures, recitations, and demonstrations throughout the second year;
six hours weekly of laboratory work in the fall term and three hours
weekly in the winter term. The physiology of muscle and nerve; blood
and lymph; the circulation; respiration; secretion; digestion and nutrition;
excretion; the sense organs; and the central nervous system. The laboratory
is equipped with kymographs, induction coils, signals, muscle and
heart levers, tambours, manometers, etc. for thirty men working at one
time in pairs. The work of the laboratory closely follows the lectures
and is an integral part of the study of each subject. The student becomes
practically acquainted with the methods of modern physiological
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.
During the winter and spring terms a student's Physiological Journal
Club meets with the professor one evening every two weeks to report and
discuss current literature.
Advanced Physiology.—Six hours weekly throughout the fall and
winter terms. An elective open to fourth year students who have completed
Physiology 1 and 2. Some one portion of physiology—the subject
changing from year to year—is studied more fully than is possible in
the required courses and students are referred to the original literature
as far as possible. As an introduction to the methods of experimental
investigation, either a number of more difficult experiments are assigned
or else the student repeats the experimental work of some original
memoir. He then undertakes, under the guidance of the professor in
charge, an investigation, which may be continued, if desired, into the
spring term. There are weekly conferences for the discussion of the
assigned reading and experiments.
The object of the course is to afford those students who are inclined
to specialize in physiology the opportunity to do so. Application
for admission to the course must be made at the close of the third year,
since the course must at present be limited to four students.
BACTERIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY.
Professor Marshall.
Adjunct Professor Meloy.
Mr. Jones.
Thirteen hours weekly throughout the second year.
Bacteriology and pathology are taught throughout the second year
from September to June. Practical laboratory work by the student with
daily individual attention from the instructors forms the basis of each
course.
In Bacteriology the student is taught to prepare culture media
and to employ the usual methods necessary for the isolation and identification
of bacteria, and he learns the biological peculiarities of the microorganisms
concerned in the common bacterial diseases.
After a few days have been spent in the making of culture media,
sterilization, etc., the general technic is learned by isolating the bacteria
bacteria are taken up serially. Those receiving special attention are the
bacteria concerned in wound infections, in respiratory and intestinal
diseases, and in tuberculosis.
With several diseases the pathogenic action of the bacteria is studied
directly upon animals, the anatomical changes are observed, the bacteria
are recovered, and the diseased tissues are prepared by the student for
microscopic examination.
The lectures which accompany the laboratory work are designed to set
forth clearly the relation which bacteria bear to disease, to immunity,
and to preventive medicine.
The course in Pathology extends from January to June. The
greater part of the practical work is devoted to the study of the microscopic
changes occuring in disease. This is supplemented by the study
of autopsy material and museum specimens. Wherever it is possible the
development and progress of the lesions are studied experimentally. The
practical work includes the consideration of the vascular disturbances,
degeneration, inflammation, regeneration, and of benign and malignant
tumors. The diseases produced by animal parasites are considered briefly.
During the course the student has an opportunity to learn the standard
methods employed in preparing tissues for microscopic examination, and
he is called upon to witness and assist in the autopsies.
A lecture precedes the practical work each day and in addition selected
topics are discussed more fully in a series of lectures.
Both in Bacteriology and Pathology frequent recitations are held,
and the standing of the student is determined largely from these and
from the character of his daily work.
In addition to the courses outlined above, there will be opportunities
for qualified students to engage in special work.
The work in Pathology is open only to students who have obtained
a record of eighty per cent. on Histology.
PHARMACOLOGY, MATERIA MEDICA, AND TOXICOLOGY.
Professor Eyster.
Mr. Wilde.
Pharmacology.—Five hours of lectures, recitations, and demonstration
and six to eight hours of laboratory work weekly during the third
term of the second year. 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 2 is required for admission to the course.
Materia Medica and Pharmacy.— Two hours of lectures and recitation
and two hours of laboratory work weekly during the first term of
the third year. The more important drugs and preparations of the
Pharmacopea, together with newer non-official which bid fair to attain or
have attained considerable use, form the subject of study. In the laboratory
the student becomes familiar with the peculiarities and methods of
preparation of the different preparations of the Pharmacopea, as well as
solubilities and other characteristics of the more important drugs. Especial
attention is paid to chemical and pharmaceutical incompatibility.
Prescription writing is dealt with by lecture and frequent practical exercises.
Toxicology.— One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory
weekly during the first term of the third year. The methods of separation
and identification of poisons.
Forensic Medicine.— One lecture weekly during the first term of the
fourth year. To replace the course in Medical Jurisprudence after the
present session.
The laboratory is well equipped for special study and investigation
in Pharmacology and Toxicology, and offers at all times this opportunity
to medical students and others who may wish to pursue some special line
of inquiry. The head of the department will be glad to suggest and outline
problems for investigation to any medical or other student who has
had the necessary preliminary training in physiology or chemistry for
such investigation.
CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS.
Adjunct Professor Flippin.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the fall and winter
terms of the first year.
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.
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Professor Davis.
Adjunct Professor Flippin.
Dr. Magruder.
Dr. Nelson.
Dr. Rea.
Dr. Garnett.
Third Year.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures
and recitations throughout the third year; six hours weekly in the
Dispensary for one half the session. A systematic course of lectures,
supplemented by work in the Dispensary. The third year class is divided
into two sections each of which devotes itself for half the year to
the medical service in the Dispensary. Dr. Davis, Dr. Flippin, Dr.
Magruder, Dr. Nelson.
Fourth Year.
In the fourth year the same plan is followed in the clinical work;
each of the two sections of the class devotes 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 expected to follow
until its discharge. The accuracy and completeness with which this
is done constitutes a large element in the determination of fitness for
graduation.
The subjects treated with the approximate division of time between
them are as follows:
Nervous Diseases and Insanity.—Three lectures and recitations
weekly supplemented by clinical work during the fall term of the fourth
year. 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 of the fourth year. This course
of lectures is intended to point out in a brief way how disease is modified
by childhood and to indicate how the difficulties of diagnosis and
treatment due to early age may best be encountered. The principles
of infant feeding are emphasized and the student is taught how to prepare
the food. Instruction in the practical details of the subject is given by
work at the Dispensary and in the wards of the Hospital. Dr. Davis and
Dr. Rea.
Dermatology.—A brief course of lectures is given on this subject
embodying a consideration of the commoner diseases met with in medical
devoted to the diseases of the skin. The senior class is divided into sections
for the work in this branch. After a brief review of the anatomic
and histologic structure and of the physiology of the skin, the diseases
most commonly met with are discussed.
The clinical material available at the University Dispensary is utilized
to the best advantage to give the students a practical working knowledge
of the diagnosis and treatment of affections of the skin. Dr. Davis and
Dr. Garnett.
Case Teaching, Medical Ethics and Economics, and Insurance
Examinations.—Two hours weekly during the spring term of the fourth
year. Dr. Davis.
Therapeutics.—Two lectures weekly during the second half of the
fourth year, with five hours weekly of ward rounds for one half the
session.
The treatment of internal diseases is discussed in a systematic course
of lectures and practically demonstrated in the wards of the Hospital.
Especial attention is given to the clinical side of the teaching of this
subject, the student being required to suggest treatment for cases assigned
to him and to follow closely and make a record of the results of the
therapeutic agents employed throughout the course of the disease.
The course includes a discussion of the preparation of food for the
sick; demonstrations of the preparation of stupes, plasters, and poultices;
and the methods of giving therapeutic baths, electrical treatment, massage,
and other therapeutic measures. Dr. Flippin.
SURGERY AND GYNECOLOGY.
Professor Watts.
Adjunct Professor Stone.
Dr. Pendleton.
Mr. Bardin.
Surgery and Gynecology.—During the third year, five hours weekly
of lectures and recitations, and two hours weekly of surgical clinic
throughout the session, with six hours weekly in the Dispensary for one
half the session.
During the fourth year, 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.
Third Year.
The study of Surgery begins in the third year and continues
through the fourth year. In the third year the class room work consists
Principles and Practice of Surgery, Surgical Diseases, Surgical Diagnosis,
etc., are thoroughly discussed. This also includes the surgical specialties,
Orthopedics, Genito-urinary Surgery, etc.
The Dispensary course in the third year gives opportunities for diagnosis
and treatment of clinical cases under close personal supervision.
Experience in dressings, bandaging, anesthesia, and minor surgery is
afforded. Surgical appliances and technique are demonstrated to the
students, divided into small groups.
Fourth Year.
In the fourth year the instruction is carried on by clinics and bed-side
demonstrations in the hospital. In the wards the students are assigned
cases, whose histories they must take, make complete physical and clinical
examinations, urine analyses, blood examinations, etc. In the ward rounds
the diagnosis, operative and other treatment, post-operative care of the
cases, complications, prognosis, etc., are discussed in detail. A large
variety of cases is available, and the close contact of the students with
their cases and with the routine of hospital management offer many of
the opportunities that an internship affords.
In the operating rooms the students, in small groups, take part in the
operations, thus acquiring familiarity with technique, anesthetization, etc.
Those of the class who are not assisting, witness the operations, whose
important features are demonstrated to them.
The work in Gynecology follows closely the outlines already
described for surgery. In the third year the general principles of gynecology
are taken up in lectures and recitations. In addition, the dispensary
affords practice in palpation, diagnosis and treatment.
In the fourth year the students have the same general work as in
surgery, consisting of the examination and recording of cases in the
public wards, attendance on ward rounds, at which the cases are discussed,
and observation and assistance in the operating rooms. Dr.
Watts, Dr. Stone, and Dr. Pendleton.
In addition to the above course, required of all students the following
elective courses are offered:
Surgical Pathology.—Two hours weekly during the first half of the
third year. The work in this course is optional and 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
courses in pathology and surgery, and to acquaint the student with
the appearance of fresh pathological material from surgical cases. Dr.
Stone and Mr. Bardin.
Operative Surgery.—Five hours a week during the second half of the
third year. This is also an optional course, consisting of lectures upon
the development of operations, descriptions of steps in the more common
operations, and the actual performance by the student of these operations
upon living animals. The course affords experience in the use of anesthesia,
the handling of living tissues, and post-operative treatment. The
students care for the animals from the time they enter the clinic until
they are well. Dr. Stone.
OBSTETRICS.
Professor Macon.
Obstetrics.—Three hours weekly during the third year, of lectures,
recitations, and manikin demonstrations, 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.
In the fourth year 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 chance of attending patients in the outpatient department and
each student is expected to attend at least four cases of labour.
DISEASES OF THE EYE, EAR, NOSE, AND THROAT.
Professor Hedges.
Professor Compton.
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 fourth 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,
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 laryangeal 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 these cases that need
the services of one specially trained to this branch of work.
HYGIENE.
Professor Lambeth.
Hygiene.—Three hours weekly throughout the fourth year.
The course begins with a historical sketch of the development of
preventive medicine, including short biographical sketches of the pioneers
of Hygiene. With this introduction the story of the natural history of
contagious and infectious diseases, modes of propagation and methods of
prevention engage the attention of the student. With this preparation, the
chemical and bacteriological contamination of food, water, air, and soil is
made an important study. Instruction is also begun in the proper location
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.
MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.
Professor Lambeth.
A brief course of lectures in which the general relations of medicine
to law are discussed, and the duties and rights of the medical expert as
a witness. The other special branches of legal medicine and surgery are
taken charge of by the other professors of the Medical Department, to
whose chairs the several subjects are naturally most cognate. After the
present session the place of this course will be taken by that in Forensic
Medicine, given by Professor Eyster.
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 schools, while the basement contains the heating plant, laundry,
kitchen, etc. From this building corridors in three stories lead out to
the wards. These wards, having a capacity of about eighteen beds each,
are beautifully lighted, have direct indirect hot-water radiators, and forced
ventilation. Opening from each ward on the east is a large protected
porch, of great value to convalescents. The south wing has been in use
for several years; the new north wing, completed in 1907, gives the Hospital
a capacity of about 100 beds. The equipment throughout is new,
and conforms in all respects to the best usage of the day.
During the past year the number of patients has steadily increased,
and the range of influence of the Hospital has been greatly widened, patients
being received from all parts of the State.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that this hospital, with
its associated dispensary, constitutes a valuable adjunct to the teaching
facilities of the Medical School. The variety of cases presented, and more
especially the opportunities offered for a thorough study of the individual
case, afford unusually satisfactory conditions for clinical instruction.

The Dispensary has been renovated and newly equipped, so that it
now affords the necessary facilities for conducting useful and scientific
clinics. In the past about fifteen hundred cases have been treated annually,
and this number should now increase. The students are divided into
small sections, and are required to examine, record, treat, and follow each
case that comes to the clinic. The work is done under the close personal
supervision of the various instructors, and gives experience in handling
patients which can only be obtained from actual practice. The work is
divided as follows:
| General Medicine, | Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3 to 5 P. M. |
| General Surgery and Gynecology, | |
| Genito-Urinary, | Tuesday and Thursday, 3 to 5 P. M. |
| Pediatrics; Dermatology; | |
| Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat, | Tuesday and Saturday, 3 to 5 P. M. |
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
This School was established in 1901, and its first class was graduated
in June, 1903. Its aim is to give young women, desirous of acquiring the
art of nursing, the same care and thorough training in their calling which
is now afforded young men studying the science of medicine. Instruction
in the primary branches of medicine is given to pupil nurses by the
professors in the Medical Department of the University of Virginia, while
the clinical instructors at the University Hospital give lectures upon their
respective courses. Three years is the required time for graduation, and
all candidates must enter prepared to go through the full course of
instruction and hospital training.
Candidates for the school should apply in their own handwriting to
the Superintendent of Nurses, University Hospital, University, Va.
These applications must be accompanied by certificates of good character,
good health, and sufficient education to profit by the instruction offered.
No candidate under twenty-one years of age, or over thirty-five, will be
received.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
The candidate who has satisfied the requirements for entrance as
above defined is matriculated as a student of Engineering and admitted
to the regular Freshman Class. The studies of this class comprise
lecture-courses in Mathematics 1, Physics 1, and Chemistry 1, with
associated laboratory courses in Physics, Chemistry, and Drawing, as
specified below.
For advancement to the Sophomore Class the student must have
completed at least two thirds of his Freshman work. Upon entering
this class he elects his specialty. The courses thereafter diverge according
as the student is an applicant for a degree in Civil, Mechanical,
Electrical, Mining, or Chemical Engineering. Programmes of
study for each degree are given below.
The courses are so ordered that the specified entrance requirements
are adequate for the work of the Freshman Year. Each succeeding
year presupposes the completion of the work for all the foregoing
years. Students are advised to adhere strictly to the regular programmes.
The arrangements specified in them have been carefully
planned and are the best. 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.

In Trigonometry, a complete course in Plane and Spherical
Trigonometry is pursued with constant drill in the solution of problems,
and exercises in the use of logarithms.
In Algebra, the work begins with the Progressions and proceeds
with the study of the Binomial Formula, Convergence and Divergence
Series. The study of Inequalities and Determinants prepares
for the Theory of Equations with which the course is closed.
In elementary Analytical Geometry the study of Cartesian and
Polar Coordinates is followed by numerous exercises on the graphical
representation of equations. Special attention is given to the straight
line and the representation of the general equation of the first degree
in two variables. The course is intended to prepare for the fuller
study of the Analytical Geometry of the conic sections.
Mathematics 2. [Echols].
The subject matter of this course consists of the Analytical Geometry
of the Conic Sections beginning with the circle; Differential Calculus:

and test of turbines and pumps, the gauging of rivers, and so on.
The practical courses, which run parallel with the lecture courses,
include advanced work in the Strength and Elasticity of Materials;
laboratory practice in Hydraulic Measurements (efflux, pipe friction,
pressure, buoyancy, and so on); and field exercises in gauging the
flow of rivers and canals.
Mechanics 3. [Thornton].

to the Dynamics of a Particle, the Spring Term, to the Dynamics of a
Rigid Body. For illustrative material use is made not only of such
classical topics as harmonic motion, projectile motion, planetary
motion, meteoric motion, motion in resisting media and so on; but
examples are taken also from engineering practice in the Kinematics
of Machines, the Dynamics of the Steam Engine, the Balancing of
Single and Coupled Engines, and others of the great problems of
scientific engineering.

more exact measurement of the chief physical quantities here dealt
with.
Chemistry 1. [Bird].
This class meets three times a week for lectures and works six
hours a week in the laboratory. It studies the fundamental principles
of General Chemistry—Inorganic, Organic, and Physical; but devotes
most of the time to the significant phenomena of Inorganic Chemistry.
At appropriate places the foundation of Analytical Chemistry are
taught and such special exercises are given as will emphasize the
more important chemical properties of the structural materials of

more of practical laboratory work. This course is primarily one in
Quantitative Analysis. After some training in manipulation and gravimetric
estimations, the class pursues volumetric estimations and a full
steel, technical products, and so on. Weekly written exercises are
required. As the student advances in the course he is encouraged to
undertake original research and assist in its prosecution; and in determining
his fitness for graduation, work of this kind is considered
as having much weight.
The laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during
all the working hours of the day.

CONFERENCE CLUB AND THESIS WORK.
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
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.
To stimulate the independent work of the candidates for graduation
the Junior and Senior students of this Department and the members
of the Faculty will be organized into a Conference Club, which
will conduct weekly conferences on engineering problems of immediate
value and present importance. At these meetings the candidates
for graduation will make from week to week reports of progress on
their thesis work. In addition reports will be made and illustrated.
lectures will be delivered on great engineering undertakings of current
interest. From time to time addresses will be made before the
Club by the alumni of this Department and other engineers engaged
in professional practise. By vote of the regular members a limited
number of the students of the lower classes may be granted the privileges
of the Club.
A Reading Room has been fitted up for the use of the regular
members of the Club. In it the more important Engineering periodical
publications will be kept on file.
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. The
Regular Reports sent out at the end of every term to the student's
parent or guardian 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.
Reexaminations are held during registration week in September.
To these reexaminations the Faculty will admit, on the recommendation
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 reexamination 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
reexamination 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 reexamination a programme of the dates of the September
examinations.
DEGREES.
Upon the completion of the four year course as defined in any
one of the following 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 and the hours of lecture or of laboratory
exercises, where such hours are fixed and non-adjustable. In the more
advanced laboratory, shop, and field courses the hours for the exercises
will be adjusted to the convenience of the students. Arabic numerals
give the hours for Monday, Wednesday and Friday; Roman numerals
give the hours for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

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 |
| Department Fee (average of four years) | 75 | 30 |
| Living Expenses (for nine months) | 225 | 225 |
| Books and Drawing Materials | 20 | 20 |
| Incidental Expenses (for nine months) | 45 | 45 |
| Total for average conditions | $405 | $360 |
The Department Fee is $90 for the Freshman Year, $80 for the
Sophomore, $70 for the Junior, $60 for the Senior, and averages $75. It
entitles the student to take over again without charge any single course
of the previous year on which he may have failed. But students who
fail on two or more courses of any year are required to take them
over and pay the full fee of that year.
The University Fee of $40 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, 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 travelling
expenses, which vary too much to be introduced into any general
estimate.
The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40); Department
Fee ($90-60); Contingent Deposit ($10); Books and Instruments
($20); and one month's Living Expenses ($32-$18). The
student will need at entrance about $200.
In Mining and in Chemical Engineering there are additional
laboratory fees as noted below for the advanced courses in Analytical
and General Chemistry.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCED STANDING.
Applicants from other colleges will be admitted provisionally
to advanced standing as candidates for a degree in Engineering upon
presentation of proper certificates covering the courses for which credit
is desired. Such certificates must be filed with the Dean, and
must be acceptable both to him and to the professors in charge of the
accredited courses. The certificate must bear the official signature
of the head of the college; must specify the character and content of
the course followed by the student; must give his marks, which
should not fall below the standard seventy-five per cent. of this
University; and must recommend the student as worthy of admission
to the University of Virginia in respect of both character and scholarship.
The final validation of such a certificate is effected by the
successful completion of the courses attended in this University.
The programme of studies offered by such a candidate for his
degree in Engineering must satisfy all the requirements for that degree
as here established. He must devote at least two full sessions
to engineering studies in this University.
Credits on Practical Work will be allowed to applicants, who
have accomplished successfully courses in Drawing, Field-work, or
Shop-work equivalent to those given in this University, or have acquired
in professional practice the training which these courses represent.
To secure credit for such work the student must make
written application to the Dean of the Department, and with this
application must file the certificate of the chief draftsman or other
officer under whom the work was done.
Applicants for admission to the Engineering Department, who are
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.
The Expenses of special students, and of all students who pursue
elective courses, are the same as those of regular students, except as
to fees for tuition. The fee for each class taken will be $25, with the
addition of the prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 for each
class in Mechanics, Engineering, and Physics; $10 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 each class in
Drawing is $10.
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 five years give him in addition to his professional degree the
general culture degree of Bachelor of Science or of Bachelor of Arts.
The additional courses required are two languages (elected from
French, German, and Latin), one historical science (History, or Economics,
or English Literature, or Biblical History and Literature), and one
philosophical science (Logic, or Ethics, or Psychology).
The following is a sample schedule leading at the end of five
years to the two degrees of B. S. and C. E.
I. Mathematics 2, Chemistry 1, French 2B.
II. Physics 1, English Literature 2B, German 2B, Drawing 1.
III. Civil Engineering 1, Mechanics 1, Logic 1B, Drawing 2.
IV. Civil Engineering, 2, Mechanics 2, Geology 1, Drawing 3.
V. Civil Engineering 3, Mechanics 3, Electives, Thesis.
The courses printed in italics are those added from the College.
Only students of good training and robust intelligence are advised
to attempt the double course.
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
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 and cross-cutting, a band-saw, a jigsaw,
and a wood trimmer for pattern making. The Foundry has a
cupola furnace for working cast iron, a brass furnace, a core oven,
and all needful accessories for moulding and casting; the blast for the
cupola is furnished by a special blower, driven by a small high-speed
steam engine. The Forge Room is equipped with Buffalo down-shaft
forges; and the necessary smith's tools; the draft is furnished by the
same 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; a plane table; 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
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. A polar planimeter is provided for facilitating such estimates
and a pantagraph for making reduced copies of finished drawings.
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 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 gauge for accurate
measurement of surface levels; a cast-iron stand pipe for experiments
on efflux with adjustable bronze orifices; a series of pipes with bends,
elbows, and tees for measuring pipe friction; and the proper manometers
and gauges for reading pressures. For the field-work the outfit
of field instruments has been enlarged by a current meter of modern
construction and a set of hollow copper ball floats for direct stream
velocity measurements.
ENGINE AND BOILER TESTS.
The Steam Engine Tests are made on the high-speed Ball engine,
which operates the shops. This motor has been specially equipped
for the purpose. It receives steam from the main line through a Sweet
separator; humidity determinations are thus made twice—once by a
separating calorimeter before the steam enters the separator, and
again by a throttling calorimeter as it enters the cylinder. It is fitted
with proper indicators, and permanent indicator rigging so that at any
time cards may be taken and the indicated horse-power determined
at once applied for the determination of brake horse-power. Connections
are so made with a Wheeler surface condenser that the engine
may at will be operated either condensing or non-condensing. Provisions
are made for measuring the temperatures and the amounts of
the condensation water and the condensed steam produced during the
run. With these data a complete heat balance of the experimental
run is attainable.
For Steam Boiler Tests the boilers of the University heating and
lighting plant are available. The department is equipped with the
necessary apparatus—thermometers, gauges, steam calorimeters, fuel
calorimeters, gas analyzers, scales, tanks, and so on. Students of
Mechanical Engineering are taught by practical lessons in the boiler
room the standard methods for boiler trials, and the class makes
each session at least one complete trial.
The Gas Engine Tests are made on an Otto machine of 15 I. H. P.
and 12 B. H. P. This is also provided with its friction brake, indicator
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 temperature. 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. The temperature of the exhaust will be determined
by a platinum resistance thermometer inserted close to the
exhaust valve. With these data, and the observed numbers of revolutions
and explosions, the heat balance is worked out.
The Refrigerating Tests are made on a Remington Ice Machine of
one ton capacity. This is an ammonia compression machine driven
by an electric motor. Instead of brine, plain water is used, heated
by a steam jet to 100 degrees and then cooled down to 40 degrees by
the machine. A run is first made with the pipes empty in order to determine
the friction horse power. The ammonia is then turned on
and the run is made under load. In both cases the power consumed
is measured both by watt-meter and by am-meter and volt-meter
readings. The tanks are accurately calibrated and careful measurements
of the temperature are made through the run. Indicator cards
are also taken from the ammonia cylinders and the number of revolutions
is registered by counter. With these data the mechanical and
thermodynamic performance of the machine are figured out.
LABORATORY WORK IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The Scott Laboratory of Electrical Engineering.—This laboratory
was equipped and endowed by Mrs. Francis Branch Scott, of Richmond,
Va., as a memorial to her late son, an alumnus of this University.
In addition to full sets of electric meters with the appliances for
testing and calibrating them, galvanometers of the best modern types,
standard cells and resistances, standard condensers, and all other necessary
apparatus for minor tests, it contains numerous pieces of the
very best construction. Such are the Wolff potentiometer, the Siemens
and Halske Double Bridge, the Magnetic Induction apparatus, the
Duddell Oscillograph, the Station Photometer, and so on. It contains
also a number of direct current generators and motors, a two-phase
alternator, induction motors of two and three phases, several
pairs of transformers, and all the apparatus used in testing such
machines. Important additions to this equipment have been recently
made.
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 the 40,000-pound compression machine. The resistance to abrasion
is measured on fragments of the stone, rotated in heavy cast
iron cylinders mounted on their diagonals. The binding power of the
dust is measured by impact tests on cylindrical briquettes formed
under heavy hydraulic pressure. The dust for these briquettes is
produced in a ball mill fed with fine stone broken in a small crusher.
This part of the testing outfit has been installed largely by the generous
aid of Dr. Page. It is hoped that useful experimental researches
on the road-building rocks and gravels of Virginia may be carried
out with it.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings devoted wholly or in part to the work of the Department
of Engineering are the following:
The Mechanical Laboratory is the main seat of the instruction in
technical studies. It is 180 by 70 feet and contains on the main floor
the Dean's office and the offices of the three adjunct-professors; the
main lecture room; the laboratory of electrical engineering; and the
drafting room for the First and Second Year students. Above are a
smaller drafting room for advanced students, and blueprint and photographic
rooms. Below on the ground floor are another class room,
the reading room, the testing laboratory, the wood shop, the metal
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 horse
power. The lighting plant consists of three electric generators directly
connected to high speed engines, the respective capacities being
25, 50, and 75 kilowatts. The whole plant is available for purposes of
instruction, study and experiment.
The Laboratory of General Chemistry, situated at the southern
end of West Range, is one of the older buildings recently remodelled
and fitted up for the work of instruction in undergraduate chemistry.
It is furnished with all the necessary apparatus and supplies, and is
comfortably heated and lighted. The Engineering students, who are
taught in a separate section, have three hours in lecture each week
and six hours in the laboratory. The work is specially adapted to
their needs.
The Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry is 150 by 60 feet. It is
a single-story building, containing the lecture room, the laboratory of
analytical chemistry, the rooms for assaying, the balance rooms, the
offices and private laboratories of the professors of Industrial and
Analytical Chemistry, and a number of store rooms. These contain
not only the usual laboratory supplies, but an extensive collection of
specimens, illustrating very completely the processes and products
of industrial chemistry, and of especial interest to engineering students.
The Geological Museum is 120 by 50 feet. It is a three-story
building. The main floor is devoted to the very extensive geological
collection of specimens, charts, relief maps, and so on. The gallery
above contains an equally good collection of minerals and numerous
models of typical crystallographic forms. The upper floor contains
the lecture rooms and the new laboratories of Economic Geology.
In the basement are stored subsidiary collections and new material
accumulated in more recent geological surveys.
The Physical Laboratory faces the Mechanical Laboratory on
the opposite side of the quadrangle, and has almost the same proportions.
The main floor contains the lecture room, the professors'
offices, the laboratory of experimental physics, and the store room for
the very large collection of apparatus used in the lectures. On the
ground floor is the laboratory of theoretical electricity, the storage
battery room, a well equipped shop for the repair and manufacture of
apparatus, and numerous smaller rooms for the work of graduate
students.

The Department of Agriculture is founded on the gift of one
hundred thousand dollars by the late Samuel Miller, of Lynchburg,
Va.; this sum having been given to establish a fund, the income of
which should be applied, as far as practicable, to the maintenance
of experiments in agriculture, training in the art of farming, and instruction
in those sciences which underlie that art, as well as in their
practical relations thereto. Since the income in question is manifestly
inadequate to provide for all these important ends in an efficient
manner, it has become necessary for those directly charged with its
administration to decide how it can be most usefully applied within
the limits indicated.
Agriculture is the art of cultivating the soil with a view to profit;
as usually applied, the term implies the successful raising and marketing
of crops of plants or of animals, or of their products. Its theory
is based directly upon the sciences of Chemistry, Botany, and Zoölogy;
and also, but less directly, upon the allied sciences of Physics, Mechanics,
and Geology. Education adapted to the prosecution of this vocation
calls, therefore, at the outset, for sound and thorough instruction
in these sciences; and subsequently for the discussion of its principles
years has shown conclusively that neither agricultural experimentation
nor instruction in the routine of farm work can be profitably conducted
here with the means at command; nor is such application of
these means in accordance with the needs or expressed desires of
students who come to the University for the purpose of entering
this Department.
It seems wisest, therefore, as well as most consonant with the
other functions of the University, to apply the income of this fund
to the enlargement, as far as possible, of the opportunities here
afforded to those who desire to acquire a knowledge of the sciences
on which the art of agriculture is based, and of which it is the practical
application; to understand their theoretical principles, as well
as their economic relations; and to be capable of following their progress
in all its bearings. Instruction is therefore offered in this Department
to all who desire such training in the descriptive and experimental
sciences as this would imply, together with a knowledge
of the closely affiliated mathematical sciences, and of the modern languages
of immediate importance to the scientific student; in accordance
with the following plan:
Required for Entrance Upon the Work of the Department.—The
General Entrance Examination, or admission to the University by
certificate or diploma, as stated in a preceding portion of this catalogue.
Based upon this preparation the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Agriculture will be conferred upon students who satisfactorily complete
one B course each in Physics, General Chemistry, Botany,
Zoölogy, Geology, and Analytical Chemistry; together with an advanced
course in each of any three of the Schools represented by these
courses; of one B course (to be elected by the student) from the
group of mathematical sciences, viz., Pure Mathematics, Applied
Mathematics, or Astronomy; and of the B courses in French and
German. The B courses are the same as, or the equivalent of, the B
courses described in a previous portion of this catalogue; the advanced
courses in the various scientific Schools have also been previously
described.
Agricultural Chemistry.—There is offered in connection with the
graduating course in Analytical Chemistry a course of lectures in
Agricultural Chemistry, including a discussion of the chemical and
physical properties of the atmosphere, of soils, and of plants; the
chemistry of the processes of vegetable life so far as they are related
to Agriculture; the chemical composition and preparation of
This course is open without charge to students who have
registered in Analytical Chemistry, to Virginia students, and to farmers
who are not matriculated students.
For Reference: Johnston's Elements of Agricultural Chemistry; 17th Edition; London,
1894.
In addition to the courses in Biology described in a previous
portion of this catalogue, there are offered in the School of Biology
and Agriculture the following courses, which provide for the discussion
of the relation of the biological sciences to the art of Agricultture:
Practical Biology and Agriculture.—The relations of the biological
sciences to Agriculture are so manifold, and the subdivisions of the
latter subject so numerous, that it would be impossible to exhaust
the discussion of either in the work of any one year. Courses consisting
in part of lectures and in part of an equivalent amount of practical
work and collateral reading will be offered yearly as follows:
1B. Botany and Agriculture: Botany 1B prerequisite.—In this course
a study will be made of the anatomy and physiology of the higher
plants, especially as related to nutrition and growth; and of the
principles of crop raising as based on the laws of plant life. Professor
Tuttle.
Text-Books.—Stevens' Plant Anatomy: Pierce's Plant Physiology: Vorhee's Principles
of Agriculture.
2B. Zoölogy and Agriculture: Zoölogy 1B prerequisite.—In this course
a study will be made of the parasitic Protozoa, Worms, and Arthropods:
the Insects will be considered in their economic relations: and
the anatomy of the domestic animals examined. The relations of
animals to the soil and to plant life will be discussed. Adjunct
Professor Kepner.
Text-Books.—Osborn's Economic Zoölogy; Folsom's Entomology; Chauveau's Anatomy
of the Domestic Animals.
Candidates for a diploma of graduation in Biology and Agriculture
are required to complete the courses in Botany, Zoölogy, and one advanced
course in each, and also the courses above described.
In this Department, as in the College, the order in which studies shall
be taken is left largely to the discretion of the student (subject to the restriction
that not more than three classes may be undertaken in any one
session without the consent of the Faculty): the following is, however,
suggested as a convenient arrangement of a four years' course for this
requirements above stated.
| First Year: | ||
| Geology 1B; | Physics 1B; | Botany 1B; |
| Second Year: | ||
| French 2B; | General Chemistry 1B; | Zoölogy 1B; |
| Third Year: | ||
| German 2B; | Analytical Chemistry 1B; | Botany and Agriculture; |
| Fourth Year: | ||
| [120] Mechanics 1B; | [121] Analyt. and Agri. Chem. 2; | [122] Zoölogy and Agriculture. |
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the University of a student in the Department
of Agriculture may be estimated at from $290 a year upwards, according
to the mode of living. A fuller statement of expenses, including
the conditions under which Virginia students are entitled to free tuition,
may be found in a preceding section. (See pp. 92-98).
MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS.
A scholarship is awarded at the end of each session to the candidate
who at that time passes the graduation examinations in the B courses
in Zoölogy, Chemistry, and Physics with the highest aggregate of marks.
The scholarship is tenable for the following two years. The emoluments
consist of $250 a session, with free tuition in the Schools of the Department
of Agriculture. The holder of a Miller Scholarship is required to
elect at least one-third of his work in Biology and Agriculture, Analytical
Chemistry, or Applied Mathematics, and the remainder from any courses
offered in the Academic Schools: he is also required to act as a student
assistant in the Biological Laboratory. The tenure of the scholarship
depends upon the good conduct and studious diligence of the scholar,
the Faculty being authorized to withdraw its benefits from any student who
does not avail himself of the opportunities for study which it is intended
to secure. Condidacy must be announced at the beginning of the session.
Substitution may be made of either Pure Mathematics 2B or Astronomy 1B
for Mechanics; each of these three courses requires the previous completion of
Mathematics 1A.
Substitution may be made for either of these advanced courses by advanced
courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Geology.
Substitution may be made for either of these advanced courses by advanced
courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Geology.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER SESSION OF 1909.
THE SESSION will begin Friday, June 18th and close Saturday,
July 31st, 1909. Friday, June 18th, will be devoted to the registration
of students. All students should register on this day. The entire faculty
of the Summer School will be in the room adjoining the Registrar's office
from 8.45 to 1.30 for counsel, on June 18th. Students should consult
freely with members of the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing courses.
No certificate will be granted to students who fail to register before
Wednesday, June 23rd.
FEES.—No registration fee will be charged. The tuition fee will
consist of $5.00 for each course taken, except in the School of Methods,
where a fee of $5.00 admits the applicant to all courses. The Department
of Public Instruction of Virginia has provided by donation that
Further exception is made to the $5.00 fee in certain other courses
where a special fee is mentioned in connection with the outlined course
in the Summer School Catalogue. Before being enrolled in a class each
student is required to register and to pay all fees. No reduction of fee
will be allowed for late entrance or withdrawal. Laboratory fees will be
charged in all courses in which materials are required to be used by students
or demonstrators.
CREDIT.—Certificates will be granted in each course in the
University Department to those students who attain a grade of
75%. This grade will be the average of the recitation and examination
marks. No student will be allowed to take more than three
courses without the permission of the Director. This regulation does
not apply to the School of Methods.
As a rule, students wishing University credit should not attempt
more than two courses in one summer: they must receive in all cases
permission to take more than three. In registering, students should
state what credits they desire, as arrangements for credit must be
made before taking the course.
1. Professional Certificate.—The following regulations with reference
to credits towards the Professional Teaching Certificate in
Virginia have been passed by the Board of Examiners: "Resolved,
That those teachers holding first grade certificates, who attend the
Summer School of the University of Virginia for two sessions of six
weeks each, and who make an average of 75% on class work and examinations,
in six courses, other than elementary school subjects,
shall be entitled to the Professional Certificate which shall continue
in force for seven years, subject to renewals from time to time."
These six courses would necessitate the work of at least two sessions
and must include at least four different subjects.
2. Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application
has been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Board of Examiners. Credits are now allowed
toward the extension of the certificates by certain other States.
In others the University Summer School instructors are appointed to
hold State examinations. In some other States arrangements may be
made upon application of the teachers from those States. All persons
wishing to arrange for credits with their respective school authorities
should correspond with the Director of the Summer School.
3. University of Virginia Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
work done in the Summer School.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can
receive credit in the College for any work done in the University of
Virginia Summer School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the
courses in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations
in the same subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are
equivalent to those required for entrance to the University of Virginia,
and provided, that the certificates of courses completed be approved
by the University of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion
of summer courses in lieu of A courses in the University of Virginia,
provided that such summer courses be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned as the full equivalent in character
and scope of the corresponding A courses in the University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions
of B courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College,
the Faculty Committee on Degrees, and the professor in charge of
the courses for which credit is desired certify in writing that the summer
courses completed are equivalent in character and scope to that
portion of the regular sessional work for which credit is desired.
(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75%) required for their successful completion shall be the same
as those of the sessional examinations.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives more demands for teachers than it is ever able to fill.
This Committee would be glad to have well qualified teachers who are
in attendance upon the Summer School leave their applications with
the Director, who is a member of the Committee.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and rooms may be had at prices
ranging from $3.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations, the average being $4.00 per
week. Many of the boarding-houses are situated on, or immediately adjoining
the University grounds. A limited number of students may,
upon application, procure rooms in the University buildings at a nominal
rental to cover actual expenses of furniture and attendance. The Commons,
the handsome new dining hall on the University grounds, is now
at the service of Summer School students. The cost of board in the din-
early as possible.
REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.—All students coming to the
Summer School from points south and west of Virginia should apply
several weeks in advance to their local agents for reduced rates. In
case the agent has received no instructions for selling reduced rate
tickets to Charlottesville, Virginia, the Director of the Summer School
should be written to promptly for information.
