GENERAL STATEMENT.

The University of Virginia Summer School is conducted primarily
for teachers and students in high schools, academies and colleges. It
takes as its peculiar province, not the ordinary summer institute, nor
the more popular and inspirational summer school, but the solid and
substantial training of high school teachers, college teachers, college
students, and teachers who either have professional and life certificates
or wish to procure them. Because the courses of instruction in high
schools are not clearly defined but merge into the grammar grades
below and into the lower college classes above, the high school offers
itself as a strategic center around which to build up instruction, the
emphasis of which is upon subject matter. The justification of such
a summer school for high school teachers is the unusual activity in
the South just now in behalf of secondary education. The large number
of high school and college teachers attending the Summer School
last year is an additional proof of the need of such a school.

LOCATION.—Charlottesville, the seat of the University of Virginia,
is in a picturesque and healthful situation among the foot-hills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is at the junction of two great lines
of railway, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Southern, and is thus of
easy access from every part of the country. The sanitary arrangements
of the University are excellent. The climate is invigorating,
healthful, and free from malarial conditions, the average elevation of
the surrounding country being about six hundred and fifty feet above
sea level; the water supply is pure, being drawn by gravity from a
mountain reservoir six miles away; the system of drains and sewers
is complete. One mile from the University is an excellent iron spring
connected with the Jefferson Park Hotel, a much frequented resort.

LABORATORIES AND MUSEUMS.—The equipment possessed
by the University for the work of instruction, alike in Academic and
in the Professional departments, has been much augmented in recent
years, and is now excellent in quality, as well as extensive. In scientific
studies large facilities are offered by the Rouss Physical Laboratory,
the Chemical Laboratory and the Museum of Industrial Chemistry,
the Lewis Brooks Museum, the Biological Laboratory.

LIBRARY.—In addition to the departmental libraries the general
university library is common to all departments. Originally selected
and arranged by Mr. Jefferson, it has since been much enlarged by
purchases and donations, and contains at present upwards of fifty
thousand volumes. Students are allowed the use of the books under
the usual restrictions, and the Librarian is present in the Library for
eight hours daily to attend to their wants.

REST AND STUDY ROOMS.—Madison Hall, the beautiful new
building of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was recently
erected at the cost of seventy-five thousand dollars, will be
open to students of the Summer School from nine o'clock in the morning
until ten at night. Students will have access to the current periodicals
in the reading room during the day and until ten at night.
The other rooms will be used for rest, for study, for recreation, and
for social gatherings. North of the building there are nineteen tennis
courts which will be equipped for the use of the students.

Page 12

DAILY GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Daily from 11:30 to 12:15
there will be a period, in which the students may have the privilege
of attending a gathering of the entire body. At this time there will
be short addresses on some interesting topic, and a brief prayer and
song service, under the leadership of some clergyman or member of
the Faculty. Generally the singing will be choral, under the direction
of the instructor of music, but occasionally, as opportunity offers,
prominent soloists will be procured.

SUNDAY VESPER SERVICES.—Experience has shown that
no Sunday Chapel service held here during the summer has been
more attractive or more appreciated than what has sometimes
been called the Sunset Service. Further advantage of holding this
service at this hour is, that it enables all the Faculty and the students
of the summer school to unite in one common service without at all
interfering with their attending the churches of their choice in the
city. This service, which will always be kept within one hour, will
begin at six-thirty. It will consist of congregational singing and a
brief address by some prominent minister or layman. The pipe organ
used in this service is the work of one of the best organ makers in
the country, and is admirably adapted, both in size and tone, for
church purposes.

RECREATION.—Provision has been made to keep the Fayerweather
Gymnasium open during the summer, under the control of a
competent gymnasium director, who will give daily systematic instruction
in physical culture. No fee will be charged for these courses
nor for the use of the gymnasium, and it is hoped that every student
will come prepared to take advantage of the physical training courses.
A portion of each day set apart to systematic physical development
will be profitably spent. The swimming pool and baths will be at
the service of the students. The tennis courts belonging to Madison
Hall will also be kept in readiness, duly marked and with nets in
place. The splendid athletic field, one of the finest in the South,
with base-ball grounds and quarter mile running track, will be at the
disposal of those who wish to engage in the manly sports. Within
three minutes walk from the Academic Building, the woods may be
reached. These woods and the neighboring mountains furnish ample
opportunity for pleasant strolls or for longer tramps on the part of
those more vigorous. One of these walks leads to Fry's Spring, a
most efficacious chalybeate spring, which may also be reached by
street car.

EXCURSIONS.—Under the directorship of Professor Maphis,
there will be excursions to neighboring points of interest such as
Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; the Natural Bridge; Luray
Cavern; the battle fields in Virginia; and any other points to which a
sufficiently large number may care to go. The proximity to Washington
and Richmond (three hours ride to each) should make a visit
to either exceptionally interesting. Saturdays will be reserved for
these excursions.

ORGAN RECITALS AND ENTERTAINMENTS.—Elsewhere
in this announcement mention has been made of the pipe organ
in Cabell Hall. It is not out of place here to say that this organ,
which has recently been installed, is one of the best products of one
of the largest organ manufacturers in America. It is an antiphonal
organ with fifteen hundred pipes, and exhibits all of the possibilities
of organ manufacture. To bring out all these possibilities requires a


13

Page 13
master organist, and it is the purpose of the management of the
Summer School to procure distinguished organists for the recitals.
Professor Paul de Launay, whose reputation is well established in
this country, has already been secured to give seven performances.

Other evening entertainments will be announced during the session
of the Summer School.

RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 13th and July
16th will be devoted especially to the problems of rural life in general,
and rural school problems in particular. Among the speakers will be
Hon. J. D. Eggleston, Jr., State Superintendent of Public Instruction;
Dr. S. A. Knapp and Dr. Dick Crosby of the U. S. Department of Agriculture;
Dr. C. W. Stiles, government expert on home supervision;
Mr. T. O. Sandy, who has done so much for co-operative farming
in Virginia; Dr. K. C. Davis, Dean of the New York College of
Agriculture; Dr. Ennion G. Williams. virginia Commissioner of
Health, who will speak on "The Preventable Diseases in Rural Virginia,
the reasons for them and the methods to lessen them;" Dr. Fletcher
of the Virginia Experiment Station; Miss Edith Charlton of the
Iowa Agricultural College, who will discuss the life and work of women
in rural communities; and several members of the U. S. Forestry
Service. The discussions will center around the large topics of better
educational facilities for rural communities; better means of communication,
improved methods of co-operation; the improvement of
sanitary conditions. There has been connected with the Summer
School no more helpful, interesting and vital enterprise than rural
life week.

This work should be especially interesting to county superintendents,
progressive farmers, members of county school boards,
rural school teachers, and officers of the citizens' improvement
leagues. It will be entirely free to the public.

THE HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE.—On Tuesday and
Wednesday, the 22nd and 23d of June, the Association of Colleges
and Preparatory Schools of Virginia will hold its summer conference
in the University buildings. At this meeting leading topics of interest
to high school instructors will be thoroughly discussed. All
high school and college teachers are invited to this Conference.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION.—The eighteenth annual
convention of the Virginia State Sunday-School Association will be
held in Cabell Hall Auditorium Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, June 29th, 30th, and July 1st and 2nd. The work of the Convention
covers the whole field of Sunday-School endeavor, and inasmuch
as most teachers do this kind of work also, it is believed that
they will be pleased to attend the meetings of this Association during
leisure moments. A chorus of over two hundred voices under the direction
of a professional leader will be one of the interesting features
of the Convention. Another will be the immense exhibit of
maps, books, pamphlets and other supplies in the hallway of Cabell
Hall. Entertainment of the visiting delegates has been provided in
Charlottesville. Those wishing programs, announcements, and any
further information should address C. W. Baines, Newport News,
Virginia.

COURSES IN PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.—A brief course in
Preventive Medicine is to be launched at the University this summer,
for the preparation of public health officers. The course is as condensed
as possible, and is really an introduction to the specialty of
Public Hygiene.


14

Page 14

CREDIT.—Certificates will be granted in each course in the
University Department (courses outlined from page 18 to page 39, including
Psychology) 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. After each course in this
catalogue is stated its credit value in case University credit is allowed
for it. Any course outlined from page 18 to page 39, including Psychology,
may be counted toward the Virginia Teachers' Professional
Certificate. No credit is allowed either toward this certificate or toward
University courses, for work done in the School of Methods,
except in certain special courses where permission has been granted
by the Director and the Registrar; in all such cases additional work is
assigned and an additional fee is charged.

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 or high school 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 vogue for seven years, subject to renewals from time to time."
These six courses would necessitate the work of at least two sessions
and must include at least four different subjects. The term courses
as used in this paragraph refers with few exceptions to those
courses outlined under the various subjects in this catalogue from
page 18 to page 39. No course may be counted toward a professional
certificate without the sanction of the Director or Registrar.
No course may be counted toward the professional certificate
unless the student has previously registered for that course and paid
the fee of five dollars due for such course, receiving a card of admission
signed by the Registrar and by the Bursar.

2. Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application
has been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Board of Examiners. Credits are now allowed
toward the extension of the certificates by certain other States.
In 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
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted for
work done in the Summer School.

(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can
receive credit in the College for any work done in the University of
Virginia Summer School.

(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of


15

Page 15
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 demands for teachers each year. 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.

REGISTRATION.—Friday, June 18th, will be devoted to the
registration of students. All students should register on this day: The
Registrar's office will be in the South East rooms of the Rotunda.
The entire faculty of the Summer School will be in the adjoining room
from 8:30 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 Friday,
June 25th, except a certificate of attendance. The
form of registration will be as follows: Each student upon application
will receive from the Registrar, Professor Maphis, a card with
space for name, and address, and for courses to be taken. This card
should be filled out by the student, giving in full the catalogue number
and title of each course desired. This card should be presented
to the Registrar for purposes of filing. In exchange for it the student
will receive a card for each course desired, each one signed by
the Registrar. These cards should then be presented to the Bursar,
Mr. Moran, together with the fee for each course. Mr. Moran will
sign and return each of them to the student, who should present it to
the professor of the course prescribed by the card. No student will
be admitted to any course without the card of registration for that
class, properly signed by the Registrar and the Bursar. A single registration
card will admit to all the courses in the School of Methods.
In the University School not more than three courses may be taken
in any one summer, except by special permission of the Director.
In this department each course requires a separate registration card.

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


16

Page 16
that Virginia teachers shall be charged only $3.00 for the
School of Methods. Further exception is made to the $5.00 fee
in certain other courses where a special fee has been mentioned
in connection with the outline in this 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.

TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.
On Friday, June 18th, at 8 p. m. the Summer School will assemble
in Cabell Hall to hear the address of welcome by Dr. Alderman,
President of the University of Virginia. Recitations will begin in all
courses Saturday, June 19th, at 8:30 a. m. Students should present
themselves at the first meeting of their classes with the required textbooks
and be prepared with tablets to take notes on introductory lectures.
There will be no classes on Saturday unless arranged for by individual
instructors,
except on Saturday, June 19th, and Saturday, June
26th, when classes will meet at the usual hour. The length of recitation
will be one hour, ten minutes of which may be allowed for transfer
from one class room to another. Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
July 29th, 30th, and 31st, will be used for examinations; the determination
being to provide for six full weeks of recitation over and
above registration and examination days.

Following the outline of each course in this announcement will
be found the time and place of meeting for each class. Individual
professors, may, upon consultation with the Director change the
hours scheduled, in order to avoid conflicts. The Summer School
lecture rooms are for the most part restricted to four buildings—
Cabell Hall, the Rouss Physical Laboratory, the Engineering Building,
and the Rotunda.

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 promptly for information.
Reduced rate tickets can be
bought only on one of the following dates—June 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th,
28th, July 5th and July 12th. In order that the tickets may be good for
return on any date before Sept. 30th they must be deposited with Anderson
Bros., Agents of the Southern Railway, at the University of Virginia,
within two days after the arrival of the holder of the tickets
and a fee of fifty cents paid for having them extended to the desired
date for returning.

It is expected that all railways south of the Potomac and
east of the Mississippi rivers will co-operate in these reduced rates.
All persons intending to start from points along other railways than the
Southern or Chesapeake and Ohio should write to the Director for information
several weeks in advance.

Return trip tickets at reduced rates will not be sold within Virginia,
unless the unusually low rate of two cents per mile now provided
for by law over all Virginia Railways is discontinued. Local agents
can usually give information upon this point.

BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $3.50 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations and proximity to the University,
the average being $4.50 per week. Many of the boarding
houses immediately adjoin the University grounds.


17

Page 17

One hundred and seventy-five single rooms and fifty double
rooms in the University dormitories will be reserved in the order of
application upon the following terms: The price will be $4.50 for
the full term of six weeks for a single room, and $7.00 for a room
which will accommodate two. No reduction will be made for parts
of a term. Applications for rooms must be accompanied with the
full amount of the fee in order to have them reserved. No rooms
will be rented to any person who does not register and pay the fee
in the Summer School. Rooms that are reserved will not be held
later than July 6th. No room will be open for occupancy before
June 18th.

Each room is lighted by electricity and will contain one bed,
one mattress, one pillow, one chiffonier, one table, one rocking chair,
one straight chair. Wash stands and toilet sets will be provided
where necessary. Roomers must provide themselves with necessary
bed-clothes, towels, etc.

The Randall Building, East and West Lawns and East and West
Ranges will be reserved exclusively for ladies and will be under the
charge of an experienced matron and chaperone, Mrs. Virgie T. Bell
of the Bristol School, Washington, D. C. Some member of the
faculty will be located in each set of dormitories. The rooms on
Dawson's Row will be reserved for men.

The location of these dormitories in the University grounds and
the social advantages resulting from bringing so many teachers close
together make this arrangement a very desirable one and the rooms
are eagerly sought for.

The University Commons, the handsome new dining-hall, is
now fully completed and equipped and is being operated successfully
this session. It will be open for summer students and will provide
table board for three hundred and fifty persons at the very low price
of $3.50 a week.

Application for dormitory rooms should be sent in promptly
with retaining fee, to the Registrar, Prof. Charles G. Maphis,
Charlottesville, Virginia.

For list of boarding houses, rates, etc., see page 51.

AGRICULTURE.

Professor Davis.

1. Elementary Agriculture.—The subject is planned to be useful
to teachers intending to use it in their schools. Newest things
will be considered as well as the most practical and useful. Experiments
suitable for schools are carried on in class room and in garden.
Lessons are made real by objects and materials. Teaching is done by
demonstrations and experimental proofs of principles. The following
topics will be treated:

Corn selection; production of good seed corn; testing seeds for
vitality; butt, middle and tip kernels of seed corn; conditions for
germination; testing soils for acidity; soils and their characteristics;
the office of root-hairs on plants; saving soil moisture; poison in
soils; rotation of crops; study of nodules on legume roots; renovation
of worn out soils; clover and alfalfa seed; alfalfa in the eastern
states; roots of corn plants; curing clover hay; weeds and how to
kill them; cotton seed and its products; use of soiling crops; catch
crops and cover crops; cuttings for house plants; layering and plant
division; budding peach trees; prunning a fruit tree; the home garden;
the school garden question.

Lessons are subject to change and will be suitable for any who
attended agricultural classes in Summer School of 1908. A simple
manual will be used.

Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Chemical Laboratory.

2. Advanced Agriculture.—This course is intended for those who
have completed a course in elementary agriculture in the Summer
School or elsewhere or who have completed a course in Botany,
Biology, Physics or Chemistry. There will be outlines and experimental
courses in:

  • 1. Soils and fertilizers.

  • 2. Agricultural Botany.

  • 3. Insects and plant diseases.

  • 4. Principles of nutrition and animal feeding.

  • 5. Agricultural physics and mechanics.

  • 6. Types and breeds of farm animals with stock judging.


19

Page 19

These subjects will be taken up in a practical way and adapted
to use in upper grades and high schools. Many of the experiments
and demonstrations will be in the garden. Daily from 9:30 to 10:30,
Chemical Laboratory.

ASTRONOMY.

Professor Smith.

The primary object of the course is to furnish the student with
such general knowledge of the subject as every well-educated person should
possess. A general treatment of historical and descriptive astronomy
will be given, but the course will be made practical as far as possible,
including simple practical experiments, the study of the construction
and use of the instruments at the Leander McCormick Observatory,
telescopic observation of the heavenly bodies, and an open-air study
of the summer constellations and of the motions of the moon and
planets. Special attention will also be given to the explanation of
everyday astronomical phenomena, questions concerning the seasons,
the calendar, determination of time, eclipses, the motions of the bodies
of the solar system, etc.

Daily, 9:30 to 10:30. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 4.

Text-Books.—Young's Elements of Astronomy and either Young's
Uranography or Upton's Star Atlas.

BIOLOGY.

Professor Tuttle.

Professor Kepner.

General Statement.—The summer work in Biology at present
offered makes provision for the study of each of the great divisions
of the organic world: separate courses being offered in Botany and
in Zoology. The object in either case is, first of all, to familiarize
the student with the methods involved in the systematic study of the
organization of plants or of animals; and to give such opportunity for
individual work by such methods on the part of each student, under
the guidance of the teacher, as will enable him or her to carry on similar
work elsewhere independently with confidence and accuracy. A
second object of equal importance is to give the student a clear
conception of the vegetable or the animal kingdom (as the case
may be) as a whole, in such manner as to impart a clear idea of the
relations and significance of any particular group that may be at any
time the subject of special interest.

These ends are sought in each case by the presentation in the
laboratory of a series of representative forms, each of which is in
turn made the subject of careful study as to its organization, activities,
and life-history: and by accompanying lectures, in which the results
of the work in the laboratory are explained and supplemented, and the
relations of the organism in question to the other forms studied and
discussed. While the lecture and laboratory courses may be taken
separately, they will in each case be most profitably taken together,
and the examinations at the close of the session in either Botany or
Zoology will cover both the lectures and the laboratory work in the
subject in question.

The Biological Laboratory is admirably equipped with simple
and compound microscopes, microtomes and other appliances for cutting,
staining, and mounting sections for microscopic study, etc.; and
while the prime object of the course given will be to teach students to


20

Page 20
observe accurately, to record their observations with precision, and to
make correct inferences therefrom, care will be taken to make them
familiar in large measure with the principles of microscopical and
other biological technic.

A. BOTANY:—In order to afford to teachers and others an opportunity
to become familiar with the forms of plant life least generally
understood, or most likely to offer discouraging difficulties to the
beginner who undertakes them independently and unaided, the work
of the Summer Session of 1909 will be devoted to the study of the
Seedless (or "flowerless") Plants. This will be followed in 1910 by
the study of the more familiar Seed (or "flowering") Plants, thus
completing the survey of the Vegetable Kingdom in two sessions: the
teacher, however, who completes faithfully and intelligently the work of
this session, and becomes familiar with the methods of study and the technic
involved, will find little real difficulty in applying these methods
to the independent study of the organization of the higher plants.

Two courses in Botany are offered, as follows:

1. Structural Botany: Use of the microscope; simpler microscopical
technic. Practical study of: Fern-like plants—a fern, an equisetum,
a clubmoss; Moss-like plants—a liverwort, a true moss; Plant-cells—structure,
growth, modification, the methods of cell-division;
Algae—a representative brown alga, a red alga, green algae, especially
the more abundant fresh water forms; Fungi—a mushroom, a cupfungus,
the more important parasitic fungi, moulds and mildews, yeast;
Lichens; Fission plants: the fission algae, the bacteria.

Daily, from 9:30 to 11:30. Professor Tuttle. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

2. Systematic Botany: A synoptical course of lectures upon the
vegetable kingdom, parallel with the laboratory course above outlined,
and dealing largely with the lower plants not usually fully discussed
in the text-books and the other literature commonly accessible.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Tuttle. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

B. ZOOLOGY:—For reasons analogous to those above stated in
connection with the study of Plants, the work of the Summer School
here offered for the study of the Animal Kingdom will be similarly divided
into two portions: the work of the Summer Session of 1909 will
be devoted to the study of the Invertebrates; that of the session of
1910 to the Vertebrates.

Two courses in Zoology are offered, as follows:

3. Structural Zoology: Use of the microscope; simple microscopical
technic. Practical study of: Protozoa—amoeba, paramecium;
Coelenterates,—hydra and others; Flatworms: Threadworms, animal parasitism;
Annelids—earth-worms, nereis; Mollusks—mussel or clam;
Echinoderms—starfish, sea urchin; Crustacea—"water fleas." shrimps,
crayfish, crabs; Insects—grasshopper, beetle, bee; Fundamental Tissues
of animals—the animal cell, cell-division, maturation of the ovum,
segmentation and development.

Daily, from 3:30 to 5:30. Professor Kepner. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

4. Systematic Zoology.—A synoptical course of lectures upon the
animal kingdom, chiefly upon the invertebrates, parallel with laboratory
course above outlined.

Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor Kepner. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

Credits.—A student who passes the examination on the two
courses in Botany will, on complying with the requirements for admission
to the University, be entitled to credit for an equivalent portion


21

Page 21
of Course 1B in Botany (see the catalogue of the University).
Subject to the same conditions, a student who passes the examination
on the two courses in Zoology will be entitled to credit for a corresponding
portion of Course 1B in Zoology. The successful completion
of the courses in both subjects will satisfy the requirements in Biology
for admission to the Department of Medicine.

FIELD BOTANY.

Professor Lambeth.

The outline projected is intended to give to the student a systematized
course of study, making it an easy and agreeable task for him
to identify the various plant families in his locality and acquire methods
of study by which children may identify and become familiar with
the individual plants of their neighborhood.

At the beginning of the course attention will be given to plant
morphology and physiology, but the course will be of a practical character
and performed in the fields and forests near the University
where the plant life is diversified and rich in both indigenous and imported
varieties, furnishing exceptional opportunities for the purpose.

During the term each student will, under direction, collect, identify,
mount, and preserve, characteristic types, so that he will have
commenced the accumulation of an herbarium for use in his teaching,
and to which he can continually add specimens from his own locality
or that in which he is teaching.

The results of the work contemplated would be of great value to
the State, not only for its educational influence, but also for its economic
importance as well. It would be fair to assume that with the
teachers followed by their pupils working out the plants of all parts
of the Commonwealth, it would only be a brief period until, from the
collaboration of these collections, a complete and systematic symposium
of Virginia's Flora would be available, and the information now
limited to a few, and possessing only scientific importance, would become
common knowledge and acquire economic value, influencing agriculture,
horticulture, and many important manufacturing industries.

The hours for daily excursions will be arranged as far as possible
so that they will not conflict with other courses taught in the Summer
School.

Daily, from 5:30 to 6:30. Rotunda, S. W., Room 1.

Text-Book.—Dana's Manual of Botany.

CHEMISTRY.

Professor Bird.

Instruction in Chemistry is offered to high school teachers and
such others as are indicated below. The ample facilities of the School
of Chemistry of the University are available and its laboratory and
library will be used.

1. General Chemistry for High School Teachers.—This course
is designed to meet the individual needs of those who may have to
give instruction in chemistry in high schools. It is essentially a coach
class. A daily discussion of the elementary principles of the science
will be held and simple lecture-table demonstrations made. Two
hours a day will then be devoted to such laboratory instruction as will
best fit the case of each member of the class. The sole object is to
train each member to do the work that is before him, the situation that


22

Page 22
confronts each one being considered by himself. He will be told what
he had best teach, what apparatus and chemicals to buy and their
cost, how to equip his laboratory and how to make the best use
generally of the facilities he is going to have. It is planned to have
the teacher perform, under the eye of the instructor, all experiments
that his own pupils should perform and such demonstration experiments
as seem desirable. Special attention will be given to the
fitting up of apparatus at a nominal cost, and the apparatus thus assembled
may be taken away for future use. The essential pedagogic
points of the experiments will be discussed fully and an effort made to
show the teacher how to instill life into the laboratory work of the
pupil, by pointing out its practical bearing. The chief emphasis will
be laid upon the essential phenomena and laws of matter changes—
especially those of daily occurrence.

Daily, 8:30 to 9:30. West Range Laboratory.

2. Laboratory Course.—The facilities of the laboratory and library
are offered to those who wish to do special work in General or
Analytical Chemistry. The instruction in this course will be such as
will meet the needs of:

(a) One who desires experience in the analytical methods used
in a particular industrial line he may seek to enter;

(b) Of one who contemplates taking a civil service examination
in chemistry and wishes additional laboratory instruction; and

(c) Of one who needs additional laboratory experience in order
to meet the entrance requirements of professional schools.

Daily. Hours to be arranged. West Range Laboratory.

ENGLISH.

Professor McBryde.

Professor Mims.

Professor Reade.

The courses in English are designed to meet the needs of the following
groups of students: Present or prospective high school teachers;
professional or technical students who have entered upon their
professional courses and found that their training in English is so
defective as to interfere with their prospects of success in their chosen
profession; students preparing for college entrance examinations;
students conditioned on their entrance examinations or in their college
courses at other institutions; college professors and instructors who
may be especially interested in methods of teaching English.


26

Page 26

1. English Grammar and Composition.—Talks on English grammar
and composition, designed especially for high school teachers.
No subjects in the high school curriculum are more unsettled than
those of grammar and composition, both being in a transitive stage.
The multiplication of high schools in the South has called attention
afresh to the importance of English but there is still little uniformity
in methods or standards. The members of the class are requested to
bring with them any English grammars that they may be using.

Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor McBryde. Cabell Hall,
Room 4.

Text-Book.—Smith's Our Language, and Studies in English Syntax.

2. Rhetoric and Composition.—The purpose of this course will
be three-fold: First, to master as far as possible the subject matter
of the text-book, and in doing this to emphasize particularly accuracy
and correctness in writing; second, to indicate the best methods of
teaching this subject in the schools, so as to interest the pupils and
induce them to take advantage of local material and opportunities;
third, to encourage among teachers and pupils alike good reading
both for its own sake and specifically for the sake of mental discipline.
There will be daily original exercises.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor McBryde. Cabell Hall,
Room 4.

Text-Book.—Thomas and Howe's Composition and Rhetoric (Long-mans.
Green and Co.) and Woodley's Handbook of Composition
(Heath).

3. English Literature.—A general survey of the history of English
literature from Milton and Tennyson. Special emphasis will be
laid upon the writings that are adapted to high school work and more
specifically college entrance requirements. An attempt will be made
to give suggestions for future work in all the periods.

Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Reade. Cabell Hall, Room 4.

Text-Books.—Any edition of the classics mentioned above; any
good history of English literature (preferably Pancoast's), and Manly's
English Poetry.

4. American Literature.—A study of the lives and writings of the
principal authors from Washington Irving to Sidney Lanier. A consideration
of the various aspects of American life as they have found
expression in literature. Special attention will be given to the literature
of New England and of the South.

Room 4.

Text-Books.—Pancoast's Introduction to American Literature and
Page's Chief American Poets (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.).

5. Southern Literature.—A general survey of intellectual and social
conditions in the South before and since the Civil War, as these have
hindered or promoted Southern literature. Stress will be laid on the
poetry of Poe and Lanier and on the fiction of the writers since the
War. Students will be required to do research work in neglected fields
of literary history, such as the history of Southern magazines, the
development of short stories, and dialect as an element in literature.
This course is intended for those who have graduated at
some standard college.

Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Mims. Cabell Hall, Room 4.

6. Expression.—In view of the larger requirements of the English


27

Page 27
course of today, the need of thorough training in the
Art of Expressio comes a matter of vital interest to teachers of
literature, for it is only through a knowledge of this art that the best
results can be obtained. Two things should be required of teachers
of English: First, that they should be free from the common faults
of speech; and second, that they should possess the power of sympathetic
interpretation. To these two ends the work of this department
is addressed.

Instruction in Elocution is twofold in its nature; on its negative
side, it aims to correct faults which would detract from an otherwise
good rendition of the masterpieces of literature; while on its positive
side it endeavors to bring out individual talent and to inspire
such sympathy with the text as may result in a simple, natural and
effective reading. Above all things, the aim of any course in public
speaking should be to develop the personality of the student, not to
make him a mere imitator.

In the course proposed it is the intention of the instructor to give
the students such things as may be of practical value to them, not to
burden them with mere rules and theory.

It need hardly be pointed out that this course is not intended for
teachers of literature only. Anyone who expects in his life work to
make large use of the voice will find the course helpful.

The hour's lesson will be divided into two parts. There will be
first a lecture on some phase of the subject (with illustrative readings),
which will be followed by individual and class exercises bearing upon
the matter under discussion. Assignments will be made each day of
selections to be studied which will be read or recited by members of
the class. This will be followed by criticisms from the instructor.

The lectures will deal with such subjects as thought-reading, emphasis,
breaking, articulation, phonetics, expression, reading of poetry,
quality, pitch, force, time, the tunes of speech, gesture, dialogue,
dramatic reading, and impersonation.

Students who intend to take the work in American and English
Literature are especially urged to avail themselves of the opportunities
afforded by this course.

Members of the class are requested to provide themselves with
note-books.

Daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Reade. Cabell Hall, Room 4.

Text-Book.—Shoemaker's Practical Elocution. The following are
recommended for reference: Murdoch-Russell's Vocal Culture; Kofler's
Art of Breaking; Lanier's Science of English Verse.

Credit.—Any student who fulfills the conditions set forth, pages
14 and 15, and who completes successfully the first four courses in English
outlined above, will be credited with course A in English Literature.
Those who have completed the entire six courses may arrange
for relative credit with the professor of English at the
University.

preferred.

GEOLOGY.

Professor Smith.

A general course in the elements of the subject will be offered.
In connection with the study of each geological process will be treated
the land forms and rock formations which it has produced. Thus the
dynamical, structural and physiographic phases of the subject will be
treated simultaneously. If time permits, the study of historical geology
will be taken up with especial emphasis upon the development of
North America. The instruction will be given through lectures and
the study of a good text, and an effort will be made to have as much
field work as practicable.

Text-Book.—Norton's Elements of Geology.

GERMAN.

Professor Edward.

Two courses in German are offered, six hours lectures a week
in each course. In the course for beginners no previous knowledge
of German is required. In preparation for the advanced course, at


29

Page 29
least two years' high school work in German or its equivalent is necessary.
As the work in both courses is arranged on the supposition
that the student in either course will devote at least eighteen hours a
week outside of lectures to the preparation for lectures and to parallel
reading, students taking either course are strongly urged to enroll
themselves for not more than one other course in the Summer School.

Students attaining a grade of 75% in either course will be given a
certificate of successful completion of the course in question. In
computing this grade, class standing is based on a daily written test
during the first fifteen minutes of the hour, covering the subject-matter
of the preceding lecture, and the other written work of the
class will be reckoned at 50%; and examination standing at 50%.
Unexcused absences are graded as zero. Excused absences may be
made up by taking in some other hour than that of the regular lecture
a written class test covering the regular class test for the day on
which the absence was recorded.

1. Course for Beginners.—Pronunciation, dictation exercises, elements
of German grammar (eighteen hours); reading of simple German
(prose and poetry)—conversation on matter read (eighteen
hours); parallel reading to be assigned.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Rotunda, S. W.

Text-Books.—Bierwirth's Beginning German; Mueller and Wenckebach's
Glueck Auf.

and corresponding credits will be granted therefore by the
Dean of the University, to those students fulfilling the conditions set
forth on pages 14 and 15.

The advance course in German is exactly equivalent in character
and scope to the second term's work in German 2B in the regular
session of the University, and has been approved as such by the
Academic Faculty of the University. Corresponding credits therefore
will be granted by the Academic Faculty to the students successfully
completing this course, who have fulfilled conditions set forth
on pages 14 and 15.

LATIN.

Professor Fitzhugh.

Professor Montgomery.

It will be the aim of the courses in Latin to open to all teachers
and students of Latin the advantages of University instruction in that
subject. The study of Latin is the study of the language, literature,
and life of the Romans. Every course will, therefore, have due regard
in each of these interest.

Couse 1 is preparatory; thereafter, the work is organized in all
course as follows:

The Latin language—systematic study of Latin grammar, with
oral and written exercises in prose composition, Latin literature—
systematic study of the Latin author in culture-historical sequence;
Roman life—systematic study of Roman culture-history in English,
in conjunction with the reading of the authors.

Courses 1-4 intended to illustrate the teaching of Latin in the
Secondary school, and to offer to teachers in high schools and academies,
and to students preparing for college, the opportunity of special
instruction in the subjects taught in the four years of Latin preparation.

1. Beginners' Course.—For teachers in high schools and academies,
for college preparation, and for students of Latin at large.

This course is devoted to the Beginner's Book in Latin and concludes
with elementary Latin reading. It involves: the Roman pronunciation;
careful study of accent and quantity; thorough drill in declensions
and conjugations; the fundamental principles of the syntax


32

Page 32
of the cases, tenses, and moods; accusative, and infinitive, relative and
conditional sentences; the fundamental uses of the subjunctive; and
the main laws of indirect discourse. These grammatical principles
are illustrated in systematic exercises in translating easy detached
sentences into Latin. Translation into English of simple Latin prose
preparatory to Cæsar.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Montgomery. Cabell Hall,
Room 1.

Text-Book.—Bennett's Foundation of Latin.

2. Cæsar.—For teachers in high schools and academies, for college
preparation, and for students of Latin at large.

This course involves Cæsar's Gallic War, Books I-IV, with collateral
readings in Viri Romæ, and the fundamental outlines of
Roman culture-history; the study of the author will be not only grammatical
but literary and culture-historical. Constant practice in sight
reading. Systematic study of high school Latin Grammar, with accompanying
prose composition based on Cæsar.

(a) Grammar and Prose Composition: High school grammar and
accompanying exercises.

Courses 5 and 6 are intended to open up to teachers and summer
students the more important fields of college Latin. They are devoted
to the broad cultural study of the language, literature, and life
of the Romans. Roman civilization is the link between the Hellenic
and the modern: the instruction will aim, therefore, to exhibit this
relation, and so, to emphasize the unity and continuity of all human
culture. The desirability of a knowledge of Greek and of at least one
Romanic language is especially commended to all who would reap
the full cultural and scientific benefit of the college course in Latin:
the Greek illumines incomparably all parts of Latin study, which in
turn bears fascinatingly upon the Romanic.

THE VIRGINIA SUMMER SCHOOL OF ART.

SIXTH SESSION.

Ten weeks, June 22nd, to August 28 inclusive.

F. Graham Cootes, M. A., Founder and Director.

This School offers art instruction comparable to that of the best
Northern summer schools with the additional great advantage of
more personal attention than is given in any other art school. The
standard of the Schools has been steadily raised and every effort will
be made to continue this policy.

The Object of this school is to furnish Southern students, at a
minimum expense, practical instruction in drawing and painting, according
to the methods of the very best New York and Parisian
schools, with the additional great advantage of more personal attention
than is given at any other art school.

The Course is particularly designed for those desirous of making
a profession of portrait, landscape and decorative painting, illustrating,
cartooning and the designing of posters and advertisements. It
will also be of great benefit to teachers and those who are interested
in art for their own pleasure.

Beginners will receive special attention. No previous experience
will be required for entrance to the school. The instruction is entirely
individual and adapted to the particular needs and advancement
of the student.

A Model in Costume poses every morning, except Saturday, in
the large studio. The afternoons are devoted to landscape work.

A scholarship, consisting of free tuition for one term, is offered
to the Richmond Art League.

The name of the Instructor will be announced later in a special
prospectus, which may be had upon application to

F. GRAHAM COOTES,

THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SUMMER COURSE
IN PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.

Since the recent reorganization of the Medical School of the University
of Virginia it has become evident that much more study should
be devoted to the courses dealing particularly with preventive medicine
and the public health. The extensive distribution of preventable
diseases, such as typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis, and hook-worm
disease, with their burden of suffering and economic loss, is becoming
a matter deserving greater attention in the Southern States in view
of the facts that, on the one hand they have now entered upon a


45

Page 45
period of extensive development, and on the other, that these diseases
can be attacked with such success by the application of well-known
principles.

Although medical science has already reached a point at which it
can prescribe definite and fairly simple rules for the control of many
of our serious epidemic diseases, and although one trained hygienist
can, if supported by the community, prevent more cases of disease
than many physicians can treat, it is, nevertheless, remarkable how
slight is the public interest in this phase of self-protection, and how
inadequate is the attention bestowed upon the training of hygienists
in most of our institutions.

With a view to correcting this condition of affairs, the University of
Virginia is about to inaugurate courses for the training of those interested
in subjects connected with the preservation and improvement
of the public health. The courses to be offered will include:

A short course of six weeks duration, from June 14th to July 24th,
1909, for medical health officers, medical inspectors, or similar public
officers.

A four years' course, to be started in September, 1909, for the training
of sanitary engineers.

A course of lectures upon selected topics of public health. Some of
these lectures will be intended especially for the public health students,
the others will be open to all students in the University.

The second and third of these courses will be inaugurated at the
opening of the session of 1909-1910, and announcements will appear
in an early number of the University "Record."

The short course for medical inspectors, members of local Boards
of Health, and other students of public health questions, will begin
immediately after the close of the present session.

The health officers of the cities, towns and counties are drawn,
almost exclusively, from the ranks of practicing physicians, and, as
the demands upon health officers increase, they are coming to require
special knowledge and training of a kind not given in medical
schools. The six weeks' course will furnish an introduction to the
special subjects required; it is offered to those just entering the
medical profession as a preparation for positions on boards of health,
and to those already holding such positions it is offered as an aid to
assist in performing their duties with greater satisfaction to themselves
and their communities.

The subjects included in the course are as follows:

Courses of Studies in Preventive Medicine for Summer 1909.

ChemistryTuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 9 to 10:30.

The dates for the lectures upon the organization of Health Boards
will be announced later.

It will be noticed that the subjects offered by no means constitute
a complete course in preventive medicine, nor is any subject exhaustively
considered. The main object sought is to review the matters
of immediate importance in as practical and condensed a manner as
possible.

Chemistry will be taught by Dr. Bird through lectures and demonstrations
at which the students assist. One period will be given
up to the examination of the air, with special reference to methods
of analysis and the value to be attached to the results. Another
period will be given to the subject of food preservatives, their
detection and influence upon health. The students will be taught
proper methods of collecting and transmitting specimens of water
and sewage for examination. A number of lectures and demonstrations
will be devoted to the chemical examination of water, to a discussion
of the fate of carbon and nitrogen, and to a consideration of
the value of chemical examinations in sanitary and epidemiologic investigation.

Bacteriology will be taught by Drs. Marshall and Meloy. After
a week spent in general technical training, the class will study
the bacteria of the air, water, and sewage, and will discuss the value
of such examinations, sources of error, etc. Biologic methods of
water and sewage purification will be observed. This will be followed
by a study of the bacteriology of typhoid fever, with special
reference to laboratory methods of diagnosis and serum reactions.
The basteriology of milk will be treated briefly and the remainder
of the time will be spent in learning the laboratory methods of making
the diagnosis in cases of diphtheria, tuberculosis, malaria, and
hook-worm disease.

Dr. Lambeth will devote fifteen periods to selected topics in
Hygiene, such as food, ventilation, heating and plumbing, and to the
subject of Vital Statistics.

In Medicine, Drs. Davis and Flippin will show at rounds any


47

Page 47
cases of infections diseases which may be in the wards, and will
hold six recitations upon the clinical methods of diagnosing selected
infectious diseases.

Epidemiology will be taught by members of the medical faculty
of the University and by visiting lecturers. In this course will
be considered diphtheria, small-pox, the insect carriers of disease,
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and uncinariasis.

Lectures will be given also upon the practical workings and the
organization of Boards of Health. The names of the lecturers will
be announced later.

By an arrangement with the Summer School of the University,
students in hygiene may take advantage of the low rates for board
and lodging offered to students in the Summer School. (See pages
16 and 17 of the "Record.")

At the end of the term examinations will be conducted and successful
