SUBJECTS ACCEPTED FOR ADMISSION.
The Subjects accepted for Admission and their values in units are
given in tabulated form on the opposite page. Fuller Definitions of
the Units follow immediately after. The applicant for admission may
enter either by Certificate or by Examination.
For Admission by Certificate the candidate must file with the Dean
of the University not later than September first a Certificate of Preparation,
made out on the blank form furnished by the University.
This certificate must come from some recognized institution of collegiate
rank or from an accredited high school. It must bear in all
cases the signature of the head of the school; must specify the character
and content of each course offered for entrance credit; must give
the length of time devoted to the course; and must give the candidate's
grades in percentages. Each unit in the entrance requirements
is the equivalent of one full year of high school work, including five
periods a week of at least forty minutes each during not less than
thirty-six weeks. For schools in which the number of periods given
to any study, or the length of the period, is below the standard here
specified, the credit for such study will be reduced pro rata. In the
scientific subjects two hours of laboratory instruction will be counted
as the equivalent of one hour of recitation. High school courses in
Physics and Chemistry, otherwise adequate, will be allowed half
credit, when individual laboratory work is not done by the student or
is not attested by proper note books filed with the certificate. Certificates
of preparation from private tutors will in no case be accepted;
students thus prepared must in all cases take the Entrance Examinations.
For Admission by Examination the candidate must present himself
for test at the University of Virginia in June or in September, according
to the dates given in the Programme of Entrance Examinations,
page 80. The examinations are held under the honor system,
no paper being accepted unless accompanied by the usual pledge. All
candidates who take their examinations at the times appointed are
tested free of charge. In case of delayed entrance, where the grounds
of postponement are good, the President of the University may admit
the candidate to a special examination, for which an additional fee of
five dollars is charged. The fee is payable in advance and is in no case
returned. Satisfactory certificates as to character and age are in all
cases required.

Physical Geography include such elementary knowledge of the following
topics, as would be obtained from the study of a text-book
like Maury's "Physical Geography" or Tarr's "Elementary Physical
Geography." The earth as a planet; planetary movements; magnetism
of the earth; internal heat of the earth; volcanoes; earthquakes;
arrangement of land masses; forms of land; relief forms of the continents;

in three meetings a week during a nine-months' school year, and
in addition thereto should have worked in the laboratory about one
hundred hours, or enough time to perform intelligently the usual experiments
given in a High School laboratory course. The ground
covered by Remsen's "Introduction to the Study of Chemistry" is
the accepted standard. The student's autograph laboratory notes must
be submitted with the examination paper or entrance certificate. (One
unit).
Science C. Experimental Physics:—A course of one full year, covering
the topics of Mechanics, Sound, Light, Heat, Electricity, and
Magnetism. The work should include (a) lecture-table demonstrations

part of the teacher. Any one of the standard texts and laboratory
manuals may be followed. (One unit).
Science D. Botany and Zoölogy:—The entrance examinations in
these two subjects, which together count as a single unit, presuppose
such sound elementary knowledge of the structure and functions of
plants and animals, respectively, and of their classifications, as may
reasonably be regarded as representing a half year's work, in each
case, upon plants or animals with the aid of such a text-book on the
one hand, as Coulter's "Plant Structure," and on the other by Jordan
and Kellogg's "Animal Forms;" or other books of similar grade and
character.
In each case the candidate will be required to submit (with his certificate
of preparation or his written examination) his own laboratory
notes and drawings as an evidence of the amount and character of the
direct personal work done by him upon the plants or the animals,
which he has studied.

cubes, prisms, and pyramids in simple positions; method of revolving
the solid into new positions; method of changing the planes of projection;
projections of the three round bodies in simple positions and
in revolved positions; sections by planes parallel to the planes of projection;
sections by inclined planes; developments of prisms, pyramids,
cylinders, and cones; intersections of polyedra and curved surfaces;
distances from a point to a point or a plane or a line; angles
between planes and lines. (One unit).
Shop-Work: Wood-Work, Forging and Machine-Work:—The candidate
must present valid certificates covering at least 240 hours of competent
instruction with adequate appliances in these topics. About 80
hours should be devoted to wood-work, 40 to forging, and 120 to machine-work.
He should be familiar with the usual shop processes,
the standard methods of work, and the properties of the ordinary
constructive materials. (One unit).
In these units, which may be offered by students of engineering
only, a practical examination in drawing and in shop-work is given to
validate the certificate of training.

CONDITIONED STUDENTS.
A candidate may be admitted in spite of some deficiencies, provided
these are not such as will impair the integrity of his academic
work. But no such candidate will be conditioned except upon subjects
actually taught in this University; and all conditions must be absolved
before the beginning of the next session after initial registration. The
maximum allowable number of conditions is four. No student will
be conditioned in Mathematics A, B, or C; or in English A or B.
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 by the Dean of the
University as Special Students, and will be admitted without formal
examination to the privileges of the University, but not as candidates
for any titled degree. Such students must in all cases meet the specific
entrance requirements as prescribed for the courses elected by them.
Special Students and Conditioned Students are advised and encouraged
to make up their deficiencies by private study or by work in
the Summer School. They will then be registered as Regular Students.
But it is expressly ordered that no such student shall be recognized
as a candidate for any degree from the University of Virginia,
unless he shall have completed all the Entrance Requirements at
least one academic year before the date of his graduation.
ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING.
Applicants from other universities and from colleges affiliated
with the University of Virginia will be admitted to advanced standing
as candidates for degrees from this University upon presentation
of proper certificates, covering the courses for which credit is
desired. Such certificates must be filed with the Dean of the Department
in which the student is registered. They must be acceptable
both to the Dean and to the Professor in charge of the course accredited.
The certificate must bear the official signature of the head of the
college; must specify the character and content of the course followed by
the student; must give his marks, which should in no case fall below
the standard seventy-five per cent. of this University; and must recommend
the student as worthy of admission to the University of
Virginia in respect of both character and scholarship. The final validation
of such certificates is effected by the successful completion of
the courses attended in this University.
Students from training schools, in which the work of the upper
classes is approximately of collegiate grade, will be granted advanced
standing in English, Mathematics and the Languages, provided they
are recommended officially and in writing for such advanced standing
by the principal of the school. Such students must, however, in every
case, attend the lectures and pass the examinations here in the last
year of the undergraduate work of every course elected. High
School courses in Science are in no case accepted as grounds for advanced
standing.
Any student admitted with advanced standing to the B Course in
English, or Mathematics, or Latin, or Greek, or French, or German,
or Spanish, who passes on the Fall Term in such course, may be allowed
credit for an additional unit in his Entrance Electives.
The College.—The programme of studies offered by the candidate
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science must satisfy
all the requirements of that degree as here established. He must
devote at least one full session to the studies of the College and at
least three of his electives must be taken here.
Department of Engineering.—The programme of studies offered
by the candidate for a degree in Engineering must satisfy all the requirements
of that degree as here established. He must devote at
least two full sessions to engineering studies in this University.
Department of Graduate Studies.—Applicants for admission to
this department as candidates for the degree of Master of Arts, Master
of Science, or Doctor of Philosophy must present the baccalaureate
degree of an affiliated institution of collegiate rank, or in cases of incorporated
institutions of learning which confer no such degree, the
certificate of graduation on a course fully equivalent to the ordinary
collegiate course. No diploma or certificate can be accepted except
on Rules and Courses.
Department of Law.—No admission with advanced standing is
permitted by the Faculty of this Department.
Department of Medicine.—The special prescription for admission
with advanced standing in Medicine will be found set forth in the
section of the catalogue devoted to that Department on page 187.
CONDITIONS FOR THE ACCREDITING OF SCHOOLS.
A school desiring to be placed on the accredited list of the University
should apply to the Chairman of the Committee on Accredited
Schools. In response to the application, a blank form inquiring
into the course of study, faculty, etc., of the school will be sent
to the principal. Upon the return of this blank, properly filled out, a
representative of the University will be sent to inspect the school.
If his report is favorable and the Committee concurs, the school will
be accepted and the principal duly notified. The name of the school
will be entered upon the list of accredited schools and published in the
catalogue of the University.
No school will be placed upon the list in which the course of
study covers less than four years of high school work based upon at
least seven years of competent elementary instruction.
Each school must offer at least sixteen units of high school instruction
as defined in the entrance requirements of the University of
Virginia in the current number of the catalogue. A unit consists
of thirty-six weeks of instruction in one subject, in which
there are five recitations of forty minutes each per week. These sixteen
units must include the first three units of English, the first three
in Mathematics, and one unit of history as outlined. Students wishing
to pursue the study of Latin at the University must offer four units
of Latin for entrance.
The University will not consider any high school in which the
teaching force consists of less than two teachers devoting their entire
time to high school instruction. It is strongly in favor of requiring
the entire time of not less than three teachers. All high school
teachers should possess college training and preference will be given
to those schools in which the teachers are college graduates.
The number of daily recitation periods given by one teacher
should not exceed eight. The University advises six. The number of
daily recitation periods of one student should not exceed five.
The quality of the instruction, the general intellectual and moral
tone of the school, the efficiency of the equipment and the character
of the text-books used are paramount factors and a representative of
the University must report satisfactorily upon those points before a
school shall be accredited.
The laboratory and library facilities should be adequate to the
needs of the instruction in the subjects for which credit is asked.
Each accredited school is required to report to the Committee on
Accredited Schools when requested to do so. Any failure so to report
will be considered cause for removal from the list.
The principal is required to forward to the Dean of the University,
upon a blank to be supplied upon request, a list of subjects in which
each student entering the University from said school is properly
prepared.
The University reserves the right to cease to accredit at any
time any school that employs inefficient teachers or fails to maintain
the standard mentioned herein.
High schools which do not fulfill all the requirements for a fully
accredited school, but which offer at least twelve units may be partially
accredited, upon those subjects which have been approved by the
Committee. Graduates of such schools will be credited with the
twelve approved units and will be required to stand entrance examinations
upon the other units.
LIST OF ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.
The following is a list of the schools within the State of Virginia
at present accredited by the University. This list is revised annually
by the Faculty Committee on Accredited Schools. Schools already on
the list will be retained and new schools added provided they give
evidence upon examination of meeting the entrance requirements
stated above.
Certificates from schools outside the State of Virginia which are
accredited by their own State Universities, or other institutions of
similar rank, may be accepted by the Dean, provided the courses of
instruction in such schools meet the requirements indicated in the
foregoing pages.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
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 water supply is pure, being drawn by gravity from a mountain
reservoir six miles away; the system of drains and sewers is complete;
there are two athletic fields; the Fayerweather Gymnasium affords ample
facilities for bathing and exercise; and in all ordinary cases of illness
students receive treatment from the University Physician, with skilful
nursing, when necessary, in a well equipped hospital.
Faculty, Endowment, and Equipment.—The faculty numbers
ninety-five; the libraries contain 70,000 volumes. The University owns
five hundred and twenty-two acres of land, valued at $600,000; has
thirty buildings which cost approximately $1,547,000; holds productive
funds to amount of $1,224,420, and receives an annual appropriation
from State of Virginia of $80,000. The annual expenditures are
$212,318.14. In scientific studies large facilities are offered by the
Leander McCormick Observatory, the Rouss Physical Laboratory, the
Chemical Laboratory and the Museum of Industrial Chemistry, the
Lewis Brooks Museum, the Biological Laboratory, the Anatomical
Laboratory, the Pathological Laboratory, Physiological Laboratory
and the Hospital, and Dispensary. The Engineering Department possesses
a well equipped Mechanical Laboratory and Machine Shop.
The Courses of Instruction are comprised in six Departments, two
of which are Academic, and four professional. The former include
the College and the Department of Graduate Studies: the latter the
Departments of Law, Medicine, Engineering, and Agriculture. In the
various departments there are altogether twenty-six distinct Schools,
each affording an independent course, under the direction of professors
who are responsible for the systems and methods pursued.
Elective System.—The system of independent Schools assumes
that opportunities for study and instruction are privileges to be sought
voluntarily and eagerly. Students are therefore allowed to elect for
themselves the courses of study to which they are led by their individual
tastes and proposed pursuits in life, as far as the time appointed
wish to make special attainments in single departments of knowledge
that this freedom of election commends itself. It has decided advantages
also for most of those students who seek the common goal of
liberal education by ways which varying aptitude, varying preparation,
or varying opportunities render of necessity different. The wisdom of
the founder in establishing such a system has been amply vindicated
in the history of this University; and in recent years many schools of
higher education throughout the country have adopted methods involving
this principle.
The Session begins on the Thursday preceding the seventeenth
of September, and continues, with a recess of ten days at Christmas,
until the Wednesday before the nineteenth of June. The first three
days of the session are given to registration, and all students, both
old and new, are required during that time to place their names upon
the books of the University and the rolls of their respective classes.
Lecture courses begin upon the following Monday, and absences will
be recorded against any student not present, from the opening lecture
of each course. Students entering after the first three days will be
charged a fee for registration.
Religious Worship.—Morality and religion are recognized as the
foundation and indispensable concomitants of education. The discipline
of the University is sedulously administered with a view to
confirm integrity, and to maintain a sacred regard for truth. Great
efforts are made to surround the students with religious influences; but
experience having proved that it is best to forbear the employment of
coercion, the attendance on religious exercises is entirely voluntary.
Divine service is conducted twice on Sunday in the University Chapel
by clergymen invited from the principal religious denominations; and
other religious exercises are directed by the Young Men's Christian
Association.
The Examinations in each class at this institution have, from the
beginning (A. D. 1825), been held in writing. Oral examinations are
held in some departments, but they are auxiliary to the written examinations,
which, in conjunction with the class standing as determined
by the daily work of the student, are the main tests of the student's
proficiency. A special examination may be granted upon physician's
certificate of sickness on the day of examination, or other cause which
the Faculty of the Department in question may accept as adequate
ground. See also p. 91.
The written examinations are, in every case, of a public character,
and are conducted by a committee of three professors, one of whom is
the professor whose class is examined. This committee is expected to
determine doubts, grant special examinations in cases covered by law,
and make report to the Faculty of the results of the examination. The
committee, not the professor solely, is responsible throughout.
Reports.—Reports are sent, at stated intervals, to the parent or
guardian of each student. These reports give the number of times
the student has been absent from lectures; and indicate, as nearly as
is practicable, the nature of the progress made by him in his work at
the University.
Honor System.—For eighteen years after the opening of the institution,
honesty at the written examinations was sought to be secured
by the strict surveillance of the committee alone. This was often
found to be ineffectual. In June, 1842, Judge Henry St. George
Tucker, Professor of Law, offered the following resolution, which the
Faculty at once adopted:
Resolved, That in all future written examinations for distinction and
other honors of the University, each candidate shall attach to the written
answer presented by him on such examination a certificate in the following
words: "I, A. B., do hereby certify on honor that I have derived no
assistance during the time of this examination from any source whatever,
whether oral, written, or in print, in giving the above answers."
This was the beginning of the honor system at this institution. In
subsequent years the pledge was extended so as to preclude the giving
as well as the receiving of assistance. The system has been in operation
since 1842 without interruption. Its wisdom and its beneficial results
have been abundantly demonstrated. Its administration imposes
no burden upon the Faculty. Experience shows that the students
themselves are its sternest guardians and executors. Violation of examination
pledges has been of rare occurrence. In every case the
culprit has been quietly but promptly eliminated without need of
Faculty action.
The spirit of truth and honor, thus fostered in the examination-room,
has gradually pervaded the entire life of the institution, and all
the relations between the student and professor.
It is not believed to be essential to the honor system, nor indeed
to be right, to expose the examinee to unnecessary temptation to violate
his pledge. The student is regarded as one to be shielded from
such influences and to have his honorable tendencies carefully reinforced
and not wrecked. Hence the examination is held in one place
where all candidates are assembled, and in the presence of a committee
of the Faculty. Conversation among the candidates and absence from
of evil. These safeguards have been found to be in entire
harmony with the absence of espionage. The fact that the candidate is
not suspected, has been found to lead always to the avoidance of conduct
which would give rise to suspicion.
Degrees are conferred only upon examination after residence.
The requirements for these degrees are given under the several departments.
No honorary degree is conferred by the University of Virginia.
Licentiates.—Any person of unexceptionable character and habits,
upon producing to the Faculty satisfactory evidence of suitable capacity,
and attainments, may be licensed by the Faculty to form classes
for private instruction in any School of the University, in aid of and in
conformity to the public teachings of the professor upon any subject
taught therein. The employment and compensation of any such
Licentiate are matters of private agreement between him and the
student. Students whose preparation is defective for the work of the
University classes may often economize time and energy by securing
the services of a Licentiate at the same time that they are attending
the regular course of lectures.
Directions for New Students.—New students will find it greatly
to their advantage if, as soon as possible after reporting to the Dean
of the University, they will go to Madison Hall, where a committee of
students will be found who will gladly be of any service in assisting them
to get settled as quickly as possibly. A general information bureau, a
complete list of boarding houses with prices of board, a directory of
the students with their addresses, a list of all forms of employment
open to students, copies of the University Handbook, and other things
of interest to the new men will there be accessible to all. The General
Secretary of the Association will be pleased to correspond with
prospective students during the summer with regard to all such matters,
and it is suggested that every man who expects to enter the University
inform of that fact. See p. 260.
REGULATIONS.
REGISTRATION.
Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to
the University for the first time are required to present themselves
to the Dean of the University at his office in the Administration
Building at some time during the first three days of the session. Each
candidate for admission must be at least sixteen years of age. In
each instance a certificate of good moral character must be presented,
signed by the proper official of the institution attended during the previous
session, or by some person of known standing. Each candidate
who satisfies these requirements, and also those for admission by
diploma, certificate, or examination previously stated, will be directed
to the Dean of the Department which-he purposes to enter.
The Dean in question will, upon being satisfied that the candidate
is fitted to enter upon the work of the Department, issue to him a
card containing the names of the courses which the candidate proposes
to pursue during the session: this card must be presented in turn to
each professor concerned, who will, on satisfying himself that the
applicant is prepared to pursue the course in question with profit, sign
the card and enter the applicant's name upon the roll of the class. The
card must then be returned to the Dean of the University, who will
endorse upon it the amount of fees to be paid to the Bursar. On payment
of these fees the registration (for the session) of the applicant as
a student of the University will be completed.
Registration of Matriculated Students.—Students who have already
been matriculated as members of the University are required to
present themselves directly to the Deans of their respective Departments
upon one of the first three days of the session, and to conform,
as regards their registration in their respective classes and the payment
of fees, to the requirements stated in the preceding paragraph.
Registration after the Christmas Recess.—On the first week-day
after the Christmas Recess every student is required to register with
the Dean of his department between the hours of nine a. m. and two
p. m. Any student failing to register thus, will have his name
dropped from the rolls of his classes until further order from the Dean,
but such student may be registered by the Dean and restored to his
position in his classes on payment to the Bursar of the delayed registration
fee of $3.00.
In case the delay in the student's return is due to illness, or to
other like providential cause, the Dean is authorized to remit the fee
and excuse the absence; in every other case the absences due to delayed
to the parent or guardian of the student; and shall be given
serious adverse weight in considering the fitness of the student for
graduation.
Delayed Registration.—Students are not permitted to delay their
registration through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any
student, new or old, who fails to present himself for registration
during the first three days of the session and between the hours of
nine a. m. and two p. m. on the first week-day after the Christmas
Recess will (except in the case of an applicant admitted to special examinations,
as provided in a previous paragraph) be admitted to registration
only upon the consent of the President, and will be charged
a special registration fee of three dollars.
RESIDENCE, ATTENDANCE AND GRADE.
The Academic Year extends from the morning of the Thursday
preceding the seventeenth of September to the evening of the Wednesday
before the nineteenth of June. Thanksgiving Day is a holiday,
and there is a Christmas recess beginning on the morning of the
twenty-fourth of December and closing on the evening of the second
of January.
Attendance is required of each student throughout the entire session,
with the exception of the days above indicated, unless he has received
permission to be temporarily absent, or to withdraw before its
close. Leave of absence is granted by the Deans for sufficient reasons,
and must in every case be obtained in advance. Voluntary withdrawal
requires the written consent of the student's professors and of
the Dean of the University. While in residence each student is required
to attend regularly all lectures and other prescribed exercises
and all examinations in the courses which he pursues (unless excused
for cause) and in every way to conform to the regulations of the University.
Absence from the University is permitted upon the written leave
of the Dean of the Department in which the student is registered, obtained
in every case in advance. But leaves of absence for the purpose
of accompanying the athletic teams or musical clubs on excursions
will not be granted, except to the officers and members of the organizations.
Absence of Athletic Teams and Other Student Organizations.—
The laws relating to absence from the University of members of the
Athletic teams are found in the section upon Physical Training (pp.
264-5). The same resolutions apply, mutatis mutandis, to members
of other student organizations.
Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but
only for sickness or like providential cause. Such excuses must be
rendered on the day of the first lecture attended after the absence.
Unexcused absences from lectures render the student liable to be
disciplined by the Faculty. In case of delayed entrance the student is
regarded as having been absent from all lectures or other exercises
that have been given, in the courses which he enters, since the beginning
of the session.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness
on the day of examination (attested by a physician's certificate)
or other cause which the Faculty of the Department by special order
may approve. An unexcused absence, or the presentation of an unpledged
paper, is counted as a total failure in the examination in which
it occurs. A student whose absence from examination is excused is
admitted to the Fall Examination in the subject in question in each of
the departments where such examinations are held. Where necessary,
he is admitted to a special examination.
Change of Schools, with transfer of fees, cannot be made except
by special order of the Faculty. But a student may change from one
class to another of the same School with the advice and consent of the
professors concerned.
The Grade of the Student in any course, either for a term or for
the session, is determined by the combined class standing and the result
of examination, each being considered in such proportion as the professor
in charge may decide for the course in question.
Class Standing in any course is determined by the regularity of
attendance of the student upon the lectures (and laboratory or other
similar exercises where included) in the course in question, and by the
faithful performance of his work as indicated by his answers when
questioned, by his written exercises, notebooks, the faithful performance
of laboratory (or other similar) work, etc. Students are regarded
by the Faculty as under the law of honor in matters affecting class
standing as in examinations.
Minimum Grade Required of College and Engineering Students.—
Any student in the College or in the Department of Engineering
whose average grade on all courses for any term is less than 40 per
cent will be dropped from the rolls of the University. Any student
who makes an average of 40 per cent or more, at the end of any term,
but whose grade on each of his courses is less than 65 per cent, will
be put on probation for the term next ensuing. The student on probation
who again makes less than 65 per cent on each of his courses
at the end of the current term, will be dropped from the rolls.
A student in any Department of the University who is evidently
making no real progress in one of his courses of study may at any
A student in the College or the Department of Engineering who falls
under this rule will be put upon probation if he fails to attain a grade
of forty per cent. in a single one of his remaining courses at a succeeding
examination.
Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written
consent of the student's professors and of the Dean of the University.
When a permit is granted upon the University Physician's certificate
that withdrawal is necessary on account of the student's ill-health,
which must not be due to dissolute conduct, the fees are returned pro
rata. Under no other circumstances will there be a return of fees.
Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted by the Faculty for habitual delinquency
in class, habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents
the student from fulfilling the purposes for which he should have
come to the University. See also "Minimum Grade" above.
CONDUCT.
Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member
of the University, whether he be within the precincts or not. They
require from the student regular and diligent application to his studies,
and if, in the opinion of the Faculty, any student be not fulfilling the
purposes for which he ought to have come to the University, and be
not likely to fulfill them, either from habitual delinquency in any of
his classes, or from habitual idleness, or from any other bad habit, the
President, upon recommendation of the Faculty, may require him to
withdraw from the University, after informing him of the objections
to his conduct and affording him an opportunity of explanation and
defense.
Drunkenness, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden,
and the President may dismiss from the University for the residue of
the current session every student found guilty of them, or may administer
such other discipline as seems best under the circumstances.
The Keeping of Dogs by students within the University grounds
is forbidden.
In all cases of Discipline, the law requires that the student must
first be informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity
of explanation and defense.
Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants
and others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students.
The license to contract debts, which the President is authorized
to grant, is limited (except when the parent or guardian requests
otherwise in writing) to cases of urgent necessity.
DORMITORY, BOARD, MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.
Dormitory.—Students may reside in the University dormitories, in
private houses approved by the President, or in their homes. Any
change of residence during the session should be reported at the office
of the Registrar.
The occupant of a dormitory has first right to it, and may reserve
it for the next session by registration with the Bursar before the end
of the current session; thereafter any vacant dormitory is assigned to
the first applicant. But unless a deposit of fifteen dollars is made with
the Bursar on or before September 1, the room is forfeited. No dormitory
may be sublet or used for other than its proper purpose.
Boarding.—Students may board and lodge either in the University
precincts or at their homes, or in houses licensed by the Faculty. It
is the duty of the President to withdraw the license from any house in
which the regulations as to the conduct of students are not observed.
Change of lodging should be reported at the Registrar's office.
Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from
causes not due to his own misconduct is entitled, without charge, to
all necessary medical advice from the University Physician; and, if
necessary, to skilful nursing in the University Hospital at a reasonable
charge for his maintenance while there. This exemption from charge
does not apply to cases requiring surgical operation, chronic cases, or
to constitutional disorders of long standing from which the student in
question was suffering at the time of his coming to the University.
Students who take the responsibility of boarding at houses not approved
by the Board of Health forfeit the right to this exemption.
Students residing at their own homes, who waive this right, are entitled
to the remission of a portion of the University fee. Any student
sent to the University Hospital by the advice and under the care of a
physician other than the University Physician will be required to pay
the regular hospital charges for private patients.
Physical Training.—No student is permitted to undertake an
amount of work greater than he may reasonably be expected to do
well without detriment to his physical health; and every student is
advised to take a due amount of daily outdoor exercise, for which
ample opportunities are afforded upon the athletic fields, the tennis
courts, the golf course, and in other forms; and in addition, to make
systematic use of the facilities afforded without cost for definite and
judicial physical training at the Fayerweather Gymnasium, under the
advice and instruction of the Director and his assistants. Further information
upon this important subject will be found upon a subsequent
page.
EXPENSES.
All tuition fees, University fees, the contingent deposits, rents of
rooms in the University Buildings, and charges for service in the same,
are payable upon entrance. Under special conditions the President is
authorized to allow credit; but these deferred payments are in all cases
to be properly secured.
Students permitted to register during a term are required to pay
the full fees for the term in which they register.
Under no circumstances will there be a return of fees except upon
certificate from the University Physician that withdrawal from the
University is necessary on account of the student's illness, which must
not be due to dissolute conduct. Upon receipt of the University Physician's
certificate, the President will return the fees, pro rata.
A student's necessary expenses are as follows:
I. University Charges, which are the same for all students, except
College and Graduate students from Virginia, as stated in a following
paragraph;
II. School Fees, which depend upon the course of study pursued;
III. Cost of Living, board, etc.
I. University Charges.—Under the first head are included (a)
University fee, $40 ($10 for Virginians in Academic Departments), and
(b) the contingent deposit, $10; as well as (c) the special Entrance
Examination fee of five dollars, (d) the delinquent registration fee of
three dollars, and (e) a fee for reöxamination in any subject where any
of these is incurred.
(a) The University Fee goes to the fund intended to defray the
general expenses of the University. Payment of this fee entitles the
student, without additional charge, to the use of the Library; to the
privileges of the Gymnasium, with baths, private lockers, etc., and the
advice and aid of the Instructor in Physical Culture; and to free medical
attendance by the University Physician in cases of illness, including,
if needed, care and nursing in a well-equipped hospital maintained
on the University grounds, under the limitations stated in a preceding
paragraph. It also covers all regular examination and diploma fees.
(b) The Contingent Deposit is liable for any damage to the University
property for which the student is responsible, or for violations of
session, less any charges that may have been made against it; it is,
therefore, not necessarily an expense, although mentioned in this connection.
From this deposit there will be deducted the sum of $2 for the
support of the Chapel Services and General Religious Work of the
University, unless within one month after registration the student shall
request the Bursar not to deduct this contribution. It will be observed that
this amount also (which is less than the average contribution made by
the students who have given toward the Chapel Fund in past years)
is not a necessary expense, as the support of the religious work of the
University is left entirely to the option of the students and professors.
This method of collection is intended merely as a substitute for the canvass
formerly made, and it is the desire of the Faculty that the students
will thus unite with them in sustaining the religious work of the University.
(c) The Special Entrance Examination Fee of five dollars is required
of all applicants for admission to the University by examination
who for good reason are unable to be present at the regular entrance
examinations on the dates as set forth on p. 70 of the catalogue,
All candidates who take entrance examinations on the regular dates,
are examined free of charge.
(d) The Delinquent Registration Fee of three dollars is charged
where the student or candidate, through carelessness or other inadequate
reason, fails to present himself for registration, during the first
three days of the session; or where the student fails to register with
the Dean of his Department, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 2 p. m.
on the first week day after the expiration of the Christmas Recess,
unless his late return be due to illness or like providential cause.
(e) The Re-examination Fee: A student of the College who attains
in any course a grade below 75 per cent. but not below 65 per
cent. may, upon the written recommendation of the Professor in
charge, be admitted by the Faculty at their final meeting in June, to
re-examination upon that course, during the registration week of
the following September. The fee for each re-examination shall be
$5.00 payable to the Bursar on or before the 15th day of July.
II. School Fees.—Under the second head is comprised the charge
for instruction, including the Tuition Fees proper, and in some cases,
the cost of apparatus and materials consumed in laboratory work.
In the Academic Departments the tuition fee for one School is $50;
for two, $30 each; for three or more, $25 each; except that in
Analytical Chemistry the charge for tuition and materials for one
and for apparatus, about $15. In the Chemistry courses for undergraduates,
a laboratory fee of $10 is charged, and apparatus and
materials are furnished at cost. The charges for a graduate course in
Chemistry are: Tuition, $50; laboratory fee, $10; apparatus and material
are furnished at cost. In the Physics Courses a laboratory fee
of $5 is charged. The fee for agricultural Chemistry is $15, but this
course is free to students in the Schools of Chemistry, to Virginia
students, and to unmatriculated farmers; and in Zoölogy or Comparative
Anatomy there is a laboratory fee, for materials, of $10 in the
undergraduate courses and $20 in the graduate courses.
Students from Virginia.—In compliance with the statute (Virginia
Code 1887, Ch. 68, Sec. 1554), the University offers to white male
students from Virginia who are sixteen years or more of age, instruction,
without charge for tuition, in all the Schools of the Academic
Departments (excepting the laboratory courses in Chemistry
and Physics), subject to the conditions stated below. Such students
are required to pay the University fee for Virginia students in the
Academic department of $10 and make the usual contingent deposit.
They are also required to pay the regular laboratory charges for
materials, etc., in the courses of study where such charges occur. If
they occupy rooms on the University grounds they are of course
subject to the usual charges for rent and service. The saving to
Virginia students varies from $90 to $130, according to the number of
Schools elected.
To be entitled to free tuition as a Virginia student under the above
mentioned statute, it is necessary that the applicant's parents be
domiciled in the State if he be under twenty-one years of age; if he
has attained his majority, it is necessary that he himself be domiciled
here. One is domiciled in the State who is living in it at the time the
application is made and has no present intention of removing therefrom
in the future, or who, though absent from the State, has not lost
his former domicile by acquiring one elsewhere. No other person
can honestly avail himself of this privilege.
White Male Teachers and Superintendents of the Public Schools
of Virginia will be admitted, during the last three months of the session,
to the Schools of the Academic Departments of the University
without payment of fees, upon presentation of certificates that they
have been teachers in the Public Schools of the State during the year.
Immediately after the Spring Examinations any of the following
courses may be entered upon with profit by an applicant prepared for
them: Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, German, English, English Literature
and Rhetoric, History, Moral Philosophy, Mathematics, Astronomy,
Botany. Special courses for teachers will be offered in English and
Mathematics, and perhaps in several other subjects during the approaching
spring term, if the demand for them is sufficient.
Applicants for admission as teachers are required to send in their
names to the President of the University not later than March 5th.
Lodgings can be had near the University. The only necessary expense
will be for board, lights, and washing, which will together cost
from $5 to $7 a week.
Privileged Students.—Ministers of the gospel may attend any of
the Academic Schools of the University without the payment of tuition
fees. The same privileges will be extended to any young man
who submits testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the
ministry, and unable to meet the expenses of education at the University
without aid.

estimate above made as follows:
| Analytical Chemistry | $10 | (about) |
| Chemistry | 10 | |
| Physics | 5 | |
| Zoölogy or Comparative Anatomy | ||
| Undergraduate | 10 | |
| Graduate | 20 |
A breakage deposit of $5 is also required in each of the chemistry courses for
undergraduates. Graduate courses in Analytical Chemistry are not included in those
courses in which tuition is free to Virginia Students.
In the Department of Law the tuition fee for each regular year's
course is $100, in addition to the University fee of $40. The privilege
of free tuition to Virginians, is confined, by legislative act, to students of
the Academic Department. For selected courses, the fee is estimated according
to the proportion which the work chosen bears to the whole.
For such irregular courses, the fee may be estimated approximately,
by multiplying the number of lecture periods in the courses taken,
by 30, and dividing by 100. The result will approximately represent
the fee in dollars.

In the Department of Engineering the fee for Applied Mathematics
the same as in the Academic Departments—except for students who
attend the regular course of instruction for a degree in Engineering as
laid down in the programme, pp. 213-223. For these students the fee
for tuition is $90 for the first year, $80 for the second, $70 for the
third, and $60 for the fourth. A laboratory fee of $10 is charged in
General Chemistry Course 1; an additional charge of $60 is made for
materials and instruction in Analytical Chemistry to students of Mining
Engineering. The payment of the Department fee entitles the
student not only to attend all the regular courses for one year, but also to
take over, without additional charge, such courses of any previous
year as he may have failed to complete. Virginians are entitled to a
reduction of $45 a year from the charges.

undergraduates. Tuition in graduate courses in Analytical Chemistry is not free
to Virginia Students.
In the Department of Agriculture the fees are the same as in the
Academic Departments.
III. Cost of Living.—Under the third head fall the expenses of
living and the cost of books and stationery.
A student may, either alone or with a room-mate, rent a dormitory,
and take his meals in the University Commons, or in an approved
private boarding-house; or he may take both room and board in such
boarding-house, in which case he pays no room-rent or servant's hire
to the University. The price of University rooms ranges, according
to their desirability, from $30 to $50 for the session, exclusive of heat
and light; the large majority rent for $40; but there are a few single
rooms at $30, and a few whose price is above that of the majority. If
two students occupy one room, each pays half the rent; the University
charge for service is $9 per session for each student, whether there be
one or two in a room.
The minimum cost of furnishing a room may be placed at $15,
fuel and lights combined cost $25 for the session, and washing from
$1.50 upward per month. With strict economy the cost of board, fuel,
lights, service, and laundry can be brought within $15 a month as an
average for the session. Rooms and board may be had in private
families or boarding-houses at varying prices.
The cost of books and stationery varies much with the branches
studied. It is probably greatest in the Department of Law, where, for
the entire three years' course, it amounts to about $165. But in this
department as in that of Medicine, the books purchased form the necessary
nucleus of a professional library, and their cost does not belong
to transient expenses.
Virginia Students' Loan Fund.—The Virginia Students' Loan
Fund was established by an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia,
approved March 14, 1908, and amounts each year to one per cent (1%)
of the annual appropriation made by the Legislature for the support
of the University. In accordance with the terms of this act, loans will
be made "to needy and deserving students of talent and character, from
Virginia, in the Academic Departments," in amounts not to exceed
$100 in any one session to the same student, at an annual rate of
interest of 4 per centum. The applicant for such loan must have complied
with all the requirements for admission to the College or to the
Department of Graduate Studies. For further information regarding
such loans, apply to the Bursar, University, Virginia.
The Harvard Loan Fund.—The Harvard Loan Fund was established
in February, 1909, by an alumnus of Harvard University, who
gave to the University of Virginia the sum of $5000, as an evidence of
the friendship and kindly relation existing between the two institutions.
Loans from this fund will be made to needy and deserving
of the University, in amounts not to exceed $100 in any one
session to the same student, at an annual rate of interest of 4 per centum.
The applicant must have complied with all requirements for admission
to the University. Further information regarding such loans
will be furnished on application to the Bursar, University, Virginia.
Student Self-Help.—In addition to the Loan Funds above mentioned,
opportunity is also afforded as far as possible to those who are
desirous of helping themselves by their own industry, and it may be
safely stated that any student with sufficient resources to carry him
through the first half of the session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining
work enough to pay living expenses and university fees for the remainder
of the college year. While it is difficult for any student to be
assured of remunerative work before he reaches the University, correspondence
with reference to such employment may be had by addressing
the Secretary of the Committee on Student Self-Help, Madison
Hall.
The University Commons.—This building conveniently situated
near the center of the University, provides an attractive Dining Hall,
with accommodations for more than 250 students at once. Board is
furnished at a rate not exceeding $15 per month, which means that
students in straitened circumstances need not be deprived of daily association
with their more fortunate fellows. The Commons is the
means of greatly reducing a student's living expenses at the University.

ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIPS.
At the meeting of the Board of Visitors on March 2d, 1899, the
following system of Alumni Scholarships was created:
1. These Scholarships shall be known as Alumni Scholarships.
2. The incumbents shall be appointed by such local Alumni Association
as are members in good standing of the General Alumni Association
and are so reported from year to year by its Secretary; and
by such of these only as may have ten or more active members who
are entitled to vote on the appointment of an incumbent.
3. No incumbent shall hold such Scholarship for more than one
year; but one who has passed satisfactory examinations at the University
in one or more of his classes may be eligible for reappointment
the following session upon the recommendation of the Faculty.
4. These Scholarships shall be confined to those courses in the
Academic Schools of the University to which Virginia students are
now admitted without charge under the laws of Virginia (that is, all
Academic courses, save the course in Analytical Chemistry). The
Scholarship shall entitle the incumbent to exemption from tuition fees
in the Schools referred to, and to the remission, if he be a Virginian,
of the University fee; if he be not a Virginian, to one-half of the University
fee. The Contingent fee must be deposited in all cases.
5. Only such persons may be appointed as actually stand in need
of such aid, and such as otherwise would not, in the judgment of the
Association making the appointment, be able to attend the University:
and no student will be permitted to enjoy the privileges of an Alumni
Scholarship while holding an endowed Scholarship or Fellowship.
6. The incumbent must be at least eighteen years of age, and must
be one who, in the judgment of the Association naming him, is
studious, of good moral character, and prepared to enter the University.
He shall be subject to the same entrance requirements as other
students.
7. Every local Alumni Association, as above described, having
ten or more active members, shall be entitled annually to have one
appointee at the University; if hereafter such Association ceases to
have as many as ten active members, it shall not be entitled to make
an appointment until that number be restored.
8. Every such local Association having fifty or more active members
shall be entitled to fill two such scholarships annually, as long as
it shall continue to have as many as fifty such members, or as soon as
it shall have reached that number.
9. By "active" members as herein used, is meant Alumni of the
University, who have been admitted by the Association as active members
thereof, in accordance with the rules laid down by the Association.
No Alumnus shall be entitled to vote upon the appointment of
an incumbent in more than one Association during the same year, nor
for this purpose shall an Alumnus be considered as an active member
of more than one Association, at the same time. But graduation in
any Department or School of the University is not hereby required.
10. Only one Association in any city or town shall be entitled to
appoint incumbents to the Scholarships hereby created.
11. The final appointment of each incumbent shall be made by a
vote of the whole Association, a majority of the active members voting
for the applicant. It shall not finally be made by any committee or by
any officer or officers of the Association. But such committee or officers
may be appointed by the Association to nominate or examine
candidates, and to report to the Association.
12. A statement, which shall include the full name and address of
the successful candidate, the fact of his appointment, and the specific
compliance of the Association and the candidate in question with
conditions above stated, must be certified to the President of the University
of Virginia, attested by the signature of the Secretary of the
Association making the appointment. This certificate must be in the
hands of the President on or before the fifteenth day of August preceding
the opening of the session for which the incumbent is appointed.
The President will send printed forms of such certificates
upon application.
13. The above requirements having been complied with, the person
or persons so appointed shall be entitled in each instance to attend
the University for the session immediately following the appointment
without payment of any tuition fees (save for the course in Analytical
Chemistry) and to the remission, if he be a Virginian, of the University
the Contingent fee being deposited in each case; and shall enjoy the
same privileges and be subject to the same restrictions as other
students.
14. To guard against any possible ill-feeling or sense of injustice
on the part of any local Association in respect to the construction of
these provisions, all such matters shall be referred to the Executive
Committee of the General Alumni Association, the decision of which,
when approved by the President of the University, shall be final.
SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS.
One of the Miller Scholarships is awarded, at the close of each
session, to the candidate who passes with the highest aggregate of
marks, in Physics 1B, Chemistry 1B, and Biology 1B. The tenure is
for two years, and the emolument is two hundred and fifty dollars a
year, with free tuition in the Scientific Schools. Other conditions are
stated in connection with the Department of Agriculture.
The McCormick Scholarship, established in honor of the late
Leander J. McCormick, the founder of the Astronomical Observatory,
is awarded by Mr. Robert Hall McCormick, of Chicago. The emolument
is free tuition in any Department of the University, with remission
of the University fee.
