The Academic Schools comprise the Schools of Languages,
Mathematics, Sciences, History, Economics, Literature, Philosophy,
and Education. In the undergraduate courses of these Schools is
comprised the work of the College with the degrees of Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science; in the graduate courses is comprised
the work of the Department of Graduate Studies, with the
degrees of Graduate in a School, Master of Arts, Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy. The professors and instructors in the
Academic Schools compose the Academic Faculty, which deals with
questions concerning the work both of the College and of the Department
of Graduate Studies.
A full statement of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science will be found under the head of the
College; of the requirements for the other academic degrees, under
the Department of Graduate Studies. In the detailed account of the
courses and equipment of the Academic Schools, given in the following
pages, the order of the courses in the particular School, and the
relation of each course to the academic degrees of the University,
is indicated as follows:
The numeral placed after each course indicates the order of the
course in the particular School; the letter placed after the numeral
indicates the value of the course as a part of the work required for
an academic degree, viz.:
A: the first-year course in a School, in which more than one
year's work is required, if the School in question is elected as one
of the subjects for the B. A. or for the B. S. degree.
B: a course that has full value only as an elective for the B. A.
or for the B. S. degree.
Term Course: A short course of three hours a week for one of
the three terms into which the Academic Year is divided. Such
courses have a credit value of one-third of a full course, offered as an
elective-at-large for the B. A. or for the B. S. degree, but will not be
counted as any part of a group elective.
C: a graduate course of full value, either as an elective-at-large
for the B. A. degree, for the B. S. degree, for the M. A. degree, or as
a secondary minor for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
D: all graduate courses having full value for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy, either as primary minor or major courses for that
degree.
The Academic Schools are here arranged according to the grouping
of subjects for the B. A. and B. S. degrees.
SCHOOL OF LATIN.
Professor Fitz-Hugh.
Mr. McLemore.
Mr. Kerr.
Mr. Bishop.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The four
units prescribed on page 69 for admission to Latin 1A.
Preparation.—The Latin work of the University finds its logical
place in the public school system as the continuation of the Latin
work of the High School. It presupposes accordingly four years of
competent instruction in Latin, with daily recitations of at least
forty minutes each, and it implies the use of the Roman pronunciation,
the habitual observance of quantity and accent, regular drill in grammar
and prose composition through all preparatory years, elementary
reading (Viri Romæ), Nepos (the Roman Lives), Cæsar's Gallic War,
Cicero's easier Orations, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Vergil's Æneid. If
the preparation of the student justifies it, he will be admitted to advanced
standing, with due credit for all work done elsewhere by him.
Attention is specially invited to the importance of beginning
Greek and at least one Romanic language for all who wish to reap
the full cultural benefit of the University courses in Latin. The
Greek illumines incomparably all parts of Latin study, which bears
in turn a like relation to the Romanic.
General Statement.—The first five courses in Latin are devoted
to the broad cultural study of the language, literature, and life of
the Romans. The culture we enjoy today has its source in the culture
of the Greeks and Romans. Greece is the fountain head of
civilization, and Rome its universalizer and transmitter to the modern
world: thus Greek culture is the ultimate, Roman the immediate
source of all modern culture. In the course of the instruction, therefore,
the effort is made to exhibit as far as possible the relation of
Roman civilization to the Greek, on the one hand, and to the Romanic
and modern, on the other, and thus to emphasize the unity and continuity
of all human culture. Hence the importance of the study
of Greek and of at least one Romanic language is specially commended
to the student of Latin.
The work is organized in all years as follows:
I. In Language: Systematic study of Latin grammar, with
oral and written exercises in prose composition. One
hour a week.II. In Literature: Reading of authors in culture-historical
series. Two hours a week.III. In Life: Systematic study of Roman culture-history in
English, hand in hand with the study of the Latin authors.
Students may enter any of the courses in Latin at the beginning
of any term of the session, and will receive full credit for the course
on completing subsequently the work of the remaining term or terms
of the course in question.

Primarily for Graduates.
Course 6D: Course 4C or Course 5C or the equivalent of either,
prerequisite.—This course extends through three years and is intended
for those who desire to specialize for one, two, or three years in classical
philology. It contemplates especially the needs of those who
choose Latin as their major elective for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy. Roman civilization is the vital link between the Hellenic
and the Romanic, and hence Latin philology, which is the science of
Roman civilization, has vital points of contact with Greek philology
on the one hand and with Romanic on the other. If the candidate's
major elective be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required,
since the language, literature, and life of the Romans are
saturated with Greek influence. If the candidate's major elective be
Romanic, the technical Greek requirement is waived as far as practically
possible, and he is guided into the history of the Roman popular
vernacular, the common source of the Romanic tongues, and into an
acquaintance with the authors illustrating the Vulgar Latin in literature.
Plan of Work.—It is the aim of this course, as far as the teaching
force and the resources of the School permit, to prepare the candidate
to investigate independently the sources of our knowledge of the language,
monuments (literary and objective) and life of the Romans.
The following is therefore an outline of the course:
I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar (Giles, supplemented
by Hirt and Sommer on Sounds and Inflections and by
Brugmann and Schmalz on Syntax)—introduction to Latin historical
grammar (Lindsay, supplemented by Landgraf)—systematic grammar
(Kühner) with stylistic exercises, oral and written, in conjunction
with Cicero's De Oratore—reading of epigraphic and literary
monuments illustrating the history of the Latin Language.
II. In the Literary and Objective Monuments of the Romans:
Reading of authors in groups systematically planned to illustrate the
literary life of the Romans—history and interpretation of texts—
elements of palæography (Johnson, supplemented by Thompson),
epigraphy (Lindsay, supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat), numismatics
(Gnecchi, supplemented by Hill), topography and remains
(Platner, Peterson, Huelson, Mau, Strack, Furtwængler).
III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history—reading
of authors illustrating the development of Roman
civilization—study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history
(Philippson, Nissen, Mommsen, Marquardt-Mommsen, Preller-Jordon,
Springer-Michaelis and Winter, Schanz, Windelband).
Friday, Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh.
Aids.—For the sake of first-hand access to important modern
authorities in Latin philology, the candidate is urged to acquire a good
reading knowledge of German, French, and Italian. Such a mastery
of German and French is imperative.

the session, each being followed by four hours or more of practical
laboratory work. After some training in manipulation and gravimetric
estimations, the class pursues volumetric estimations and a
and steel, technical products, and so on. Weekly written exercises
are required. As the student advances in the course he is encouraged
to undertake original research and assist in its prosecution; and
in determining his fitness for graduation, work of this kind is considered
as having much weight. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 10-11.
Laboratory hours by appointment. Analytical Laboratory. Professor
Dunnington, Mr. Woodson.
The Laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during
all the working hours of the day.
Students may register either for the first course, or for both

have previously made equivalent attainments elsewhere.
Laboratory work will be conducted daily, and suggestions and
due assistance will be given in its prosecution.
While the work is adapted to the special aims or tastes of each
student, it will in all cases comprise some practice in the more
elaborate processes of analysis, ultimate and proximate organic
analysis, some study in analytical methods and some original problems,
also the reading and the summarizing of extracts from current
journals, and, for all who are seeking the degree of Ph. D., a dissertation
embodying the results of some original research.
The Analytical Laboratory is a building planned and erected for
the purpose. It is warmed throughout by hot water, completely
fitted with the most approved appliances, and stocked with apparatus,
models, materials, and specimens. The main working room is furnished

rooms are devoted to weighing, evaporations, assaying, etc., and all
requisite apparatus, chemicals, minerals, materials for analysis, etc.,
are kept constantly supplied by home purchases and importation.
MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
The Biological sciences are here studied chiefly from a morphological
given to the histology, and as far as possible to the cytology and to
the life-histories (both ontogenetic and phylogenetic) of the organisms
studied, especially in the advanced courses in each of the two principal
sciences, with a view to the elucidation of the great fundamental
laws that underlie the phenomena of life. The work of the school is
designed to meet the wants of students who desire such knowledge
of either Botany or Zoölogy (or both), and of the methods of biological
study, as may properly form a part of a liberal education: or
of those who desire such training as will fit them for independent
work as students or as teachers in either of these sciences, or for
other vocational work therein: and also of those who seek such acquaintance
with the facts and the underlying principles of the biological
sciences as will prepare them for entrance upon the study of
Medicine, or for an intelligent study of the relations of these sciences
to the art of Agriculture.
Each student who enters upon the work of either of the courses
described below is required to provide himself with a small case of
dissecting instruments, a hand lens, and a note-book of approved
pattern. Other necessary pieces of apparatus will be issued to each
student. There is a laboratory fee for materials consumed in connection
with the work of each of the courses. Students with adequate
preparation may enter any of the undergraduate courses in
Biology at the beginning of any term of the session, and will receive
full credit for courses on completing the work of the remaining term
or terms of the course in question, of some subsequent session.
I. Botany.
Professor Tuttle.
For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: Botany.—In this course a study is first made of the
essential factors of plant structure; this is followed by a brief survey
of the vegetable kingdom, beginning with the algae and ending with
the seed-plants. As each group is discussed in the lectures, as many
representative members as practicable will be studied in the laboratory,
including where possible the important phases of the life-history.
The principles of classification will be considered and illustrated,
and as far as possible applied in connection with the forms
studied.
The first term of this course deals largely with the forms of
plant life that are of importance in the management of water supplies,
and is arranged with a view to the needs of students in Sanitary
Engineering. The class is limited for the present to thirty
Thursday, Saturday, 9-11. Cabell Hall.

Lichens. The Green Algae will be studied in greatest detail, on account
of their morphological importance as exhibiting a varied and
instructive differentiation of forms from unicellular plants to colonial,
coenocytic, and thalloid plant-bodies; and as the group to which the
higher plants are most nearly allied.
Course 3C: Archegoniates.—The work of this course will comprise
the study of the Liverworts: the Mosses: and the Fern-like
Plants. By far the larger portion of the course will be occupied with
the latter, the anatomy and morphology of the various orders being
discussed and studied at length, together with their relations to the
acquisition of the seed-habit.
Course 4C: Spermophytes.—The study of the Seed-Plants will
comprise a discussion and examination of the anatomy, both physiological
and morphological, of the various orders of Gymnosperms
and of the two great divisions of the Angiosperms: and a study of
representatives, as far as possible, of each of the great orders of the
latter group: in addition, a few representative families will be discussed
and studied in detail.

study will be made of animals representing various classes and orders
of Protozoa, Coelenterata, Platyhelmia, Nemertini, Nematelminthes,
Trochelminthes and Molluscoida, involving their comparative anatomy,
embryology, and their affinities. Students will be required to collect
the available material of the vicinity for class work; to make a collection
of histological preparations; and to report at regular intervals
upon the progress of their work.
Course 3C: The Higher Invertebrates.—A similar detailed study,
under similar requirements, of animals, representing various classes
and orders of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Annulata and Arthropoda.
Course 4C: The Vertebrates.—A detailed anatomical and histological
study of animals representing various classes, sub-classes, and
orders of the Chordata. The physiology of the organs of the chordate
will be discussed. Vertebrate embryology as represented by

which is intended to afford a brief survey of some of the most
significant facts concerning organization, function, and relations of
living things: an insight into the methods of biological study: and a
full discussion as possible of the important fundamental principles deduced
from such study and the important philosophical question
arising therefrom. One lecture and one laboratory exercise each week
throughout the session. Hours by appointment. This course will
have a credit value of one-third.
Primarily for Graduates.
Course 5D: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Botany 1B,
Zoölogy 1B, and one of the advanced courses in Plant or Animal Morphology
prerequisite. This course begins with a study of the phenomena of
cell-organization and cell life in both plants and animals: this is followed
by a comparative study of the elements of structure and their
embryological development in the lower and the higher animals, or in
a similar series of plant form; the work of each student is individually
assigned in great measure. It includes practice in the more advanced
methods of technic, and a critical discussion of the microscope and
its intelligent use, as means to the ends in view. It is accompanied by
the consideration of the fundamental laws of General Biology as
founded upon cytological study. Hours by assignment: the number is
not limited.
Opportunity will be afforded to individual students for further
advanced work chiefly along the lines of this course.

CORCORAN SCHOOL OF NATURAL HISTORY AND
GEOLOGY.
Professor Fontaine.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
In this School two subjects are taught, Geology and Descriptive
Mineralogy. There are two courses, as follows:
For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: Three lectures a week will be given throughout the
session. The design of the course is to enable the student to obtain
such a knowledge of the science of Geology as should be possessed
by a well-educated man. As full an exposition of the fundamental
principles will be given as the time will allow. Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 9-10. Brooks Museum.
Text-Books.—Scott's Introduction to Geology, and Notes of the Professor's lectures.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Course 2C: Course 1B prerequisite.—This course consists of two
divisions, one in Mineralogy, the other in Geology.
Mineralogy.—The course in Mineralogy closes in February.
Three lectures a week are given in it. In this course attention is
paid to crystallography, and especially to the physical properties of
minerals. In Descriptive Mineralogy the relations, geological occurrence,
and history of the individual species are made prominent.
Text-Books.—Dana's Manual of Mineralogy and Petrology. The introduction will
be in part by lectures.
Geology.—This division of the course begins after the completion
of Mineralogy in February. The more general and complicated
problems in all the branches of Geology will be dealt with in this
course. As thorough a treatment as possible will be given of Stratigraphy,
Lithology, and Paleontology. More stress will be laid on the
methods of field-work and the application of geological principles.
The aim will be to give such a knowledge of the subject as may be
useful to the student in bread-winning pursuits, or may serve as a
basis for the more specialized course required for the attainment of
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday,
9-10. Brooks Museum.
Text-Books.—Chamberlin and Salisbury's Geology in part. For reference: Geikie's
Text-Book of Geology. The Instruction will be in part by lectures.
Primarily for Graduates.
The advanced courses in this School are intended to give the
student as large a stock of useful information as possible, to teach
him methods of investigation, and to train him in habits of observation.
Original research will be insisted on, and opportunity will be
given for the student to concentrate his efforts in some line of special
study.
Topics for study will be taken from both of the subjects taught
in this School. The abundant material in the Lewis Brooks Museum,
mentioned below, gives unusual facilities for the pursuit of graduate
work.
Course 3D: Descriptive Mineralogy.—The course of Mineralogy
is so selected as to give the student a good knowledge of as wide a
range of the principles as possible, and at the same time to cause him
to acquire a practical knowledge of the various mineral species. In
the practical study, the more common minerals, and those of more
preference. A practical knowledge of the crystal forms and of the
characteristic groupings and massive forms of minerals, will be required.
Special attention will be paid to the relations of minerals,
their association in nature, and their geological occurrence. The
student will be trained to determine minerals, as far as possible, by
their obvious characteristics, without the help of tests, and practical
examinations will be held, from time to time, to test his skill. One
or more theses will be required. Hours by appointment.
Dana's Text-Book of Mineralogy, and Weisbach's Mineral Tables will be used;
and topics from various authors will be assigned for study in special cases.
Course 4D: Geology.—In Geology the aim will be to fit the
student for independent and original research. He will study as
thoroughly as possible the broader problems of the science, involving
the knowledge of stratigraphical principles. Special attention
will be given to imparting a practical knowledge of the various
rocks, and of the animal and plant fossils of the different eras, with
the view of using them in determining unknown formations. Stress
will be laid upon field work, and the methods of determining and
describing the geology of new regions. To impart such knowledge,
the student will be required to work up some particular region or
formation, and report his results. Topics involving a knowledge of
the literature and growth of opinion in relation to particular questions
may be assigned to form the subject of theses. Hours by appointment.
Chamberlin and Salisbury's Geology will be used as a text-book, and selected books
of other authors will be used when necessary.
The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the
main subdivisions of Natural History. Each of the collections is
arranged so as to exemplify the principles of the science, and at the
same time offers a large variety of subjects for advanced study. In
Geology the specimens show all the different kinds of rocks, classified
according to mineral character and the formation in which they
occur; the collection of fossils, plaster casts, maps, etc., is exceptionally
fine, and fully illustrates Historical Geology. In Mineralogy
the principles of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits of
specimens, models of crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals
contains all the important minerals, and many of the rarer
ones, in good specimens. Zoölogy is well illustrated by a fine and
large collection of mounted skeletons, stuffed animals, dried specimens,
plaster casts, etc. In Botany the collections contain charts,
papier-maché models of flowers and fruits, sections of wood, etc.:
the bulk of the collection is in the form of an herbarium, selected
from the most important and interesting botanical regions of the
collection to illustrate the geology and mineralogy of the State of
Virginia, and this will be increased as rapidly as possible.
These large and carefully selected collections of geological and
mineralogical objects afford unsurpassed facilities for the full illustration
of the principles taught. As free access to these collections
is allowed the student, he can find in their study an opportunity,
rarely obtained, for gaining a practical acquaintance with natural
objects acquired from various parts of the world, and chosen for
their typical character. These collections are especially useful to
students pursuing advanced work in Geology and Mineralogy.

THE COLLEGE.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D., | President. |
| JAMES MORRIS PAGE, M. A., Ph. D., LL. D., | Dean. |
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—For
entrance to the College the candidate must either present satisfactory
certificates, or pass the entrance examinations described in detail, pp.
71-80. The four units which the candidate may select at will (p. 69), must
be so chosen as to absolve in full the requirements for entrance upon
the courses for which he desires to be registered.
These are the minimum requirements for admission to the College;
and any candidate for admission who has received a preparation more
ample than is thus represented will be admitted to advanced standing
on satisfactory evidence of his attainments, in accordance with the
conditions stated on p. 81.
All undergraduate students are regarded as members of the College.
Full opportunity has in the past been, and will in the future be,
given to any student to carry out any definite plan of work which he
may have in view on coming to the University, or which may have
been prescribed for him by those under whose direction he is completing
his education. Every student is, however, expected to come to
the University for a definite purpose: and when no well considered
plan, as above indicated, has been outlined in advance, and the end
in view is that for which the great majority of students enter college,
namely, the attainment of a liberal education, the student in question
will be expected to enter upon the regular work of the College, which
leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or to that of Bachelor of
Science.
The Group System of Election.
The requirements for each of the baccalaureate cultural degrees,
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, are such as to permit of the
large measure of freedom of election on the part of the individual
student which has characterized the work of the University from the
beginning: such restriction only being placed upon this liberty as is
necessary to insure at the same time the thoroughness and the
breadth of culture for which these degrees stand. In order to secure
to the recipient of either degree in due measure an acquaintance with
the methods of study and of thought characteristic of each of the
as far as possible, his courses must be chosen,—subject to certain
restrictions and exceptions detailed below,—from the following groups
of subjects:
GROUP I: LANGUAGES.
Latin: Latin 1A, and Latin 2B or 3B.
Greek: Greek 2A and Greek 3B.
French: French 2B.
German: German 2B.
Spanish: Spanish 2B.

Detailed information with regard to the A and B courses enumerated
above will be found on pp. 115-157. In each course the instructor
meets the class at least three times a week, for a period of at least fifty-five
minutes: and each course extends through the whole session.
No elective offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered, by the same candidate, for
the other cultural baccalaureate degrees also.
BACHELOR OF ARTS.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of Virginia is
conferred upon the candidate who has completed the work of thirteen
courses in accordance with the regulations given below.
Regulations Concerning the Bachelor of Arts Degree.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 81), the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, Mathematics 1A; and either Latin 1A, or Greek 2A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete eight B Courses selected from
the six groups given above (p. 159) as follows: two B Courses must be
selected from Group I, and one of these must be either Latin 2B or
Greek 3B; one B Course must be selected from Group II; two from
Group III; one from Group IV, one from Group V, and one from
Group VI.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of two courses
selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below,
of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should
take English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, Latin 1A (or some
other foreign language), and a Natural Science (or Greek 2A,
if both Latin and Greek are selected from Group I).
(2) Time Required for Obtaining the B. A. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) above), are required to
undertake the work of three courses each session; and of only
three, unless otherwise authorized by the Academic Faculty.
Hence, the time normally required for obtaining the degree
of Bachelor of Arts by the candidate who enters without advanced
standing is four years. (See also Section (4), (b),
below.)
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 81) must devote at least one full session exclusively
to Collegiate work here, and must complete the work of at
(1) ). The programme of studies offered by such candidate
must satisfy all the requirements of the B. A. degree as here
established.
(3) Elective-at-large, and Major Group.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected eight B Courses in accordance with Section (1),
(b), of these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, described under
the head of Academic Schools, pp. 115-157; or any C Course,
of which the precedent B Course has been completed, described
under the head of the Academic Schools, pp. 115-157.
But in every case the two electives-at-large must be selected
from the subjects of some one of the six groups (p. 159); and
this group is to be known as the Candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.
(a) The candidate who offers both B Latin and B Greek from
Group I (p. 159) is required to offer only one elective-at-large
(Section (1), (c) ).
(b) The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section
(1), (a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer
in lieu of the two electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c) ), the
work of the first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine,
or any three technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. A. degree
and a professional degree may save about one year of the time
required for both degrees.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE.
The degree of Bachelor of Science of the University of Virginia
as at present organized in the College is designed to meet the needs
of two distinct classes of candidates.
The first class consists of those candidates who wish to obtain
a baccalaureate degree representing general culture, but who do not
desire, or are unable, to offer the classical language required of every
candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
The second class consists of those candidates who desire to fit
some vocation, for which special training in one of the natural or
mathematical sciences is necessary,—such as the vocation of practical
chemist, physicist, biologist, or geologist; or that of teacher of one
of the natural or mathematical sciences, in a high-school or college.
The regulations subject to which the degree of Bachelor of Science
is conferred,—whether as a cultural degree, or as a vocational degree,—
are detailed below. In each case the candidate must complete the
work of thirteen courses.
I. Regulations Concerning the Cultural Degree of
Bachelor of Science.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 81) the candidate
must select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, and of Mathematics 1A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work of eight B Courses,
selected from the six groups given above (p. 159), as follows: two B
Courses must be selected from Group I, and neither of these shall be a
Course in Latin or Greek; one B Course must be selected from Group
II; two from Group III; one from Group IV; one from Group V,
and one from Group VI.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of three courses
selected from the electives-at-large, in accordance with section (3), below,
of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, a foreign language
from Group I, and a Natural Science from Group III.
(2) Time Required for Obtaining the B. S. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) ), are required to undertake
the work of three courses each session; and of only three unless
otherwise authorized by the Academic Faculty. Hence the
time normally required for obtaining the degree of Bachelor
of Science, by the candidate who enters without advanced standing,
is four years. (See also Section (4), (b), below.)
The candidate who enters, with advanced standing, from
another College (p. 81), must devote at least one full session
exclusively to Collegiate work here, and must complete the
work of at least three of the required B Courses, (Section (1) ),
candidate must satisfy all the requirements of the B. S. degree
as here established.
(3) Electives-at-Large, and Major Group.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected eight B Courses in accordance with Section (1),
(b), of these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, described under
the head of the Academic Schools, pp. 115-157, or any C Course,
of which the precedent B Course has been completed, described
under the head of the Academic Schools, pp. 115-157.
But in every case at least two of the electives-at-large must be
selected from the subjects of some one of the six groups (p. 159);
and this group is to be known as the Candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-Large.
The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section
(1), (a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer
in lieu the three electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c) ), the work
of the first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine,
or any three technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. S.
degree and a professional degree, may save one year of the
time required for both degrees.
II. Regulations Concerning the Vocational Degree of
Bachelor of Science.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 81) the candidate
must select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, and Mathematics 1A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work in French 2B and
German 2B, and must also complete one B Course from Group II (p. 159),
and two B Courses from Group III. These five courses should be completed
during the first two years of candidacy.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of six courses
selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below
of these regulations.
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, either French 2B, or
German 2B; and a B Course from Group III.
(2) Time required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) ), are required to undertake
the work of three courses each session; and of only three unless
otherwise authorized by the Academic Faculty. Hence, the
time normally required for obtaining the vocational degree of
Bachelor of Science, by the candidate who enters without advanced
standing, is four years.
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 81) must devote at least one full session to collegiate
work here, and must complete the work of at least three of the
required B or C Courses in this College. The programme of
studies offered by such candidate must satisfy all the requirements
of the vocational B. S. degree as here established.
(3) Major School and Electives-at-large.
At least two years before the date of expected graduation the
candidate must select one of the Schools of Natural or Mathematical
Science as his Major, or principal, School; and during
the remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that School.
As subsidary to the principal subject thus chosen, he shall
pursue such other courses within the limits of the electives-atlarge
(see below) as are deemed most important in his case by
the professor or professors in charge of his major school, and
approved by the Academic Faculty.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or of a C Course
of which the precedent B Course has been completed. After
five B Courses have been chosen in accordance with Section
(1), (b), of these regulations, the six electives-at-large required
are to be selected, (subject to the restrictions detailed in the
first paragraph of this section), from the lists of B and C
Courses described under the head of the Academic Schools,
pp. 115-157.
(4) Title Conferred with Diploma.
The name of the principal subject selected by the successful
candidate shall be inscribed upon his diploma. For example,
the successful candidate who selected one of the Schools of
Chemistry as his major School, (Section (3) ), shall receive the
title of "Bachelor of Science in Chemistry."

DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE STUDIES.
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D., | President. |
| RICHARD HEATH DABNEY, M. A., Ph. D., | Dean. |
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
possession of a baccalaureate degree from a recognized institution of
collegiate rank; or, in the case of a graduate of an institution of such
rank that does not confer a baccalaureate degree, presentation of a
certificate of graduation in a course of study accepted by the Academic
Faculty as fully equivalent to that ordinarily required for the
degree in question. A candidate entering the University under these
conditions will be registered as a Graduate Student if he is pursuing
one or more graduate courses: he may, however, be permitted, or, if
he is a candidate for a degree who enters from another college, be
required to take in addition such strictly undergraduate courses as
may be desirable or necessary for his purpose.
Graduate in a School.
Any student who successfully completes all the courses offered
in any Academic School is entitled to a diploma of graduation in that
School: but a student thus pursuing graduate studies will not be
registered as a member of this Department unless he has satisfied the
conditions above stated.
Master of Arts.
The degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia will
be conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts of this University who has completed
the work in four fully organized graduate courses chosen by
himself and approved by the Academic Faculty; each of which courses
must be one in which the professor regularly meets the class not less
than three hours a week. The four courses must be chosen from at
least three distinct subjects distributed among three different Academic
Schools, except by special order of the Academic Faculty; and
three of the courses must be cognate. Students who take such
graduate courses in some subjects before receiving the B. A. degree
will not be granted the M. A. degree unless they take at least two
of their graduate courses in the academic year when the latter degree
is conferred.
A description of the C courses open to candidate for the Master's
degree is given in its proper connection in that portion of the catalogue
which treats of the work of the independent Academic Schools,
pp. 115-157.
The courses indicated are also, in many cases, included among
the advanced courses that may be offered as electives at large for the
degree of Bachelor of Arts: credit can be obtained for any such course
in but one of these capacities by the same candidate; work done for
the lower degree being in no case counted again as part of the work
required for the attainment of the higher degree.
Students holding baccalaureate degrees from other chartered institutions
of learning and desiring admission to candidacy for the
degree of Master of Arts should write immediately to the Registrar
of the University and ask for a blank form of application, to be filled
out (partly by the applicant, and partly by the President of the institution
from which the applicant has received a degree) and
promptly returned to the Registrar. When the Committee on Rules
and Courses has duly considered the application, the applicant will be
informed what work he will have to do in order to obtain the M. A.
degree.
In general, the Faculty will require that, unless the baccalaureate
degree of the candidate conforms with reasonable closeness to the
B. A. degree of the University in the character of its requirements,
the candidate must take such undergraduate courses here as will supplement
his deficiencies. In particular, the Faculty will require the
candidate to take not only the four graduate courses mentioned above,
but also the undergraduate courses in the same subjects, unless the
Committee on Rules and Courses consider that the candidate's work
done elsewhere in one or more of these subjects has been fully equal
in quality and quantity to the undergraduate work required in such
subject or subjects at the University of Virginia. Nor can the candidate
be excused from doing the undergraduate work in any one of
these four subjects without the consent of the professor of that
subject.
Master of Science.
The degree of Master of Science of the University of Virginia
will be conferred upon a holder of the cultural degree (p. 162) of Bachelor
of Science, under regulations exactly similar to those under which the
degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts. Candidates
for the degree of Master of Science need, therefore,—in order
to see in detail what will be required of them,—merely substitute the
"B. A." and "M. A." respectively occur in the statement (pp.
167-168) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.
Doctor of Philosophy.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Virginia
will be conferred upon the holder of the B. A. or cultural B. S. degree
of this University, or (under the regulations mentioned below) upon
the holder of a similar degree from some other chartered institution
of learning who possesses a reading knowledge of French and German,
and who completes the prescribed graduate work in three cognate
subjects, chosen by himself from at least two Academic Schools,
and approved by the Academic Faculty; this graduate work to be pursued
for at least three years in the major subject, for at least two
years in the primary minor, and for at least one year in the secondary
minor subject. It is also provided that any student taking the second
or third year of graduate work in a subject may be required by
the professor, with the approval of the Academic Faculty, to attend
such lectures or courses in any of the Academic Schools as the professor
may deem necessary.
The "reading knowledge" of French and German mentioned
above is intended to enable the candidate to pursue his chosen subjects
through the medium of books and periodicals in the French and
German languages. His ability to do this must be tested at the
beginning of the first year of his candidacy by examinations on these
languages in the presence of a committee consisting of the professor
of the candidate's major subject and the professors of French and
German. In case of failure on either or both of the examinations,
he will be required to enter the appropriate class or classes in one or
both of the languages, and will not be regarded as a regular candidate
for the doctorate until he has fulfilled the requirements in French
and German. It is provided, however, that any student who has
already passed on the B course in either or both of the languages at
this University shall be considered as having the requisite knowledge
of either or both of them, as the case may be.
Graduate work done in other universities may be accepted in lieu
of resident work done here, provided sufficient evidence is furnished
by examination, written or oral, or both, that such work has been of
a grade similar to that required here, and has been satisfactorily performed,
and provided also that, while it shall be possible for a candidate
to get credit in this way for the whole of his secondary minor
subject, every candidate must take here at least one advanced course
subject.
It is also provided that a candidate who is a professor, in charge
of the subject selected by him as major, in a chartered college or university,
may be allowed by the Academic Faculty to spend only two
years in resident work at this University. The graduate work of the
last year of candidacy shall in all cases be done at this University,
unless the Academic Faculty shall for special reasons direct otherwise.
Upon the completion of the approved courses, the candidate shall
submit to the Academic Faculty a Dissertation exhibiting independent
research in some branch of his major subject. The Dissertation
must be submitted not later than April 15 of the year in which the
candidate applies for the degree. Moreover, the copy presented for
the Faculty's approval shall be written (type-written, if feasible) on
paper of prescribed quality and size; shall be bound; and shall have
certain prescribed phrases on the cover and title page. If accepted
as satisfactory by the Faculty, this copy shall immediately become
the property of the University. If approved, the Dissertation must
be printed at the candidate's expense before the degree is conferred,
and one hundred copies deposited in the Library of the University;
or, if this be impracticable on account of lack of time, the candidate
must deposit with the Bursar a sum of money sufficient to have a
hundred copies of the Dissertation printed.
The instruction open to candidates for the Doctor's degree in
each of the Academic Schools is described in a preceding portion of
the catalogue. No graduate course can be counted for the Doctor's
degree unless the professor regularly meets the class not less than
three hours a week.
The conditions on which students holding baccalaureate degrees
from other chartered institutions of learning are admitted to candidacy
for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are as follows.
Each applicant should write to the Registrar of the University and
ask for a blank form of application to be filled out (partly by the applicant,
and partly by the President of the institution from which the
applicant has received a degree) and promptly returned to the Registrar.
When the application has been duly considered by the Committee
on Rules and Courses, the applicant will be informed as
to the work which he, if accepted as a candidate, will have to
do in order to secure the Doctor's degree. The general rule
will be that unless his baccalaureate degree conforms with reasonable
closeness to one of the cultural baccalaureate degrees of
undergraduate courses here as will supplement his deficiencies. In
particular, he will be required to take not only the graduate work in
his three chosen subjects, but the undergraduate courses as well, unless
the Faculty is convinced that his work done elsewhere in one or
more of these subjects has been fully equal in quality and quantity to
the undergraduate work required in such subject or subjects at this
University. Moreover, the individual professor of any of these three
subjects may require the candidate to take his undergraduate course,
should he regard him as insufficiently grounded in the fundamental
facts or principles of the subject.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the University for a Virginia student
in the Department of Graduate Studies may be estimated at from
$160 a year upward, according to the mode of living; for students
from other States this minimum should be increased by a sum ranging
from $90 to $130 for tuition fees. A fuller statement of expenses,
including the conditions under which Virginia or other students are
entitled to free tuition, will be found on pp. 94-101.
Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who are
granted the privilege of non-residence during a portion of their candidacy,
under conditions above stated, are required to matriculate and
pay the annual University fee of $40 if not Virginians, and $10 if
Virginians, during such period of non-residence.

Among the original schools contemplated in Mr. Jefferson's plan
for the organization of the University of Virginia was "Law: Municipal
and Foreign; Embracing the General Principles, Theory, and Practice
of Jurisprudence, together with the Theory and Principles of
Constitutional Government." Accordingly the School of Law was established
in 1826, and has been in continuous operation since, even
during the four years of the civil war.
From its inception until 1894, the course comprised the work of a
single year. With the session of 1894-95, a two years' course was
inaugurated, which continued up to the session of 1909-10, when the
course was extended to three years.
The aim of the Department of Law has always been to maintain a
high standard as a requirement for graduation—the degree being conferred
only upon such students as are thorough masters of the prescribed
course of study. This policy has been rigorously enforced,
the graduates of the law school are accustomed to attain at the bar
or in public life. The course of instruction has been extended from
time to time to conform to changing conditions and to meet the increasing
needs of the profession. It is confidently believed that the
enlarged course now offered will enable those who complete it more
surely to maintain that rank at the bar which the University has always
expected of her sons.
Formerly it was possible for the law student to begin and complete
his professional studies in the office of some friendly member
of the bar—Blackstone's Commentaries and the Code of his State
forming the main portion of his curriculum. Then the authorities
were few, the leading principles alone were settled, and their application
was comparatively simple. In more recent times, so widened is
the scope of the law, so complex its principles, so nice and yet so
important its distinctions, so numerous and conflicting the authorities,
that it is scarcely practicable for even the most diligent student to
master the subject, in its multiform phases, without the systematic
instruction of skilled teachers. Furthermore, the increased and increasing
scope and rigor of the examinations for admission to the
bar in the several States call for a more extensive course of study
than was afforded in former days by the law school, and a wider and
more intimate knowledge of legal principles than can generally be
acquired by private study. It is a maxim sanctioned by long and wide
experience that "he who is not a good lawyer when he comes to the
bar, will seldom be a good one afterwards." In order to acquire such
thorough knowledge of the elements of the law, thought as well as
reading is requisite; and, for the purpose of thought, there must be
time to digest as well as industry to acquire. One cannot gorge himself
with legal principles and digest them afterwards; the process
of assimilation, if it is to proceed healthfully and beneficially, must
accompany the reception of knowledge.
These considerations have led to a general conviction among the
leaders of professional thought throughout the country that no student
should essay the practice of the law who has not spent at least three
years in close and attentive study in a law school.
Three Years' Course.—The course embraces three years of study,
an outline of which appears below. Candidates for graduation are not
permitted to complete the course in a shorter period.
Admission to Advanced Standing.—No credit is given for attendance
at another law school, nor for time spent in private reading. The candidate
for graduation must spend all three years in residence.
Suggestions as to Preliminary Education.—Students, and their
parents or guardians, are warned that the law is peculiarly an intellectual
profession, and demands for its successful prosecution, whether
at the Law School or in the broader fields of professional life, a well-trained
mind. If it be true that untrained intellects, in rare instances,
under diligent and persistent effort, develop after entrance upon
practice, such exceptional cases but serve to illustrate the rule that out
of a given number of young men entering upon the study of the law,
those with sound preliminary training will have incomparably the advantage,
while those without it will be seriously handicapped, and are
likely never to rise above mediocrity in their profession.
The experience of the Law Faculty—nay, of all law teachers—is,
that the standing and progress of law students are, in large measure,
in the ratio of their academic preparation. Young gentlemen are
therefore advised not to begin their legal studies until they have completed
an academic course approximating that ordinarily required for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts. So high a standard, however, is not
exacted as a condition of entrance into the Law School. These conditions
are shown in the following section, and its references.
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department—Regular
Students.—The General Entrance Examination, or admission to
the University by certificate or diploma. For full information see
General University Catalogue, pp. 69-84. Special students are admitted
under conditions shown in the section following. Candidates
for the degree must have attained the age of eighteen before entering
the Law School.
Special Students.—Applicants for registration who are twenty
years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective
courses, must present adequate proofs of good character and of the
needful maturity and training. Such applicants may then be registered
as Special Students, and will be admitted without formal examination
to the privileges of the Law School, but not as candidates for the degree.
With the admonition that over-zealousness, whereby an ambitious
student is beguiled into the assumption of more work than he can
thoroughly master in a given time, leads to cramming and inaccuracy,
and often to complete failure, the special student is free to select his
own work.
Late Entrance.—Registration commences Thursday, September
15, and the work of the Law School begins promptly the Monday
following. Students are advised that late entrance is a serious hindrance
to progress. The student who enters late must begin his work
at the point to which the work has advanced at the time of his entrance;
the student's actual residence average at least thirty weeks per session.
No registration in absentia is permissible.
As regards conditions of admission in case of late entrance, reference
is made to the Regulations concerning Registration, as stated
ante, p. 89.
Expenses.—A detailed estimate of the necessary expenses of a
student in the Department of Law will be found in an earlier part of
this catalogue, under the general head of "Expenses." The University
fee applicable to all law students, (including those from Virginia) is
$40; and the tuition fee is $100 for the regular work of each session.
For Special Students who desire to take selected courses, the tuition
fee is estimated according to the proportion which the work chosen
bears to the whole.
Plan of Instruction.—The course is planned with a view to acquaint
the student familiarly and practically with the principles of his
profession. Care is taken to teach him to think for himself, and to
rely upon reason and principle, rather than upon memory; it being considered
better that the student follow principle to its legitimate conclusion,
though this be at variance with the decisions of the courts,
than that he should arrive at a faultless result by the exercise of memory
or by accident.
The instruction is as thorough as possible, and is given partly
through text-books and lectures, and partly through the study of cases.
While convinced of the value of the combined text-book and lecture
system, which has prevailed for more than half a century in the Law
School, and from which, in the inauguration of the more extended
course, it is not meant in any wise to depart, the Law Faculty have
long appreciated the value which the study of cases possesses, in illustrating
the practical application of legal principles, and in forcing
the student to extract for himself the doctrine which the cases establish.
The enlargement of the course gives opportunity for more
emphasis upon this form of instruction, and the case-book will, therefore,
be used more extensively than heretofore—not as supplanting,
but as supplementing, the text-book and lecture.
The daily quiz has long been a marked and, as experience has
proved, a most valuable feature of the system of instruction. As
cross-examination exposes error and develops truth, so the daily
quiz enables the instructor to discover and rectify misconceptions of
legal principles on the part of the student.
Required for Graduation.—The degree of Bachelor of Laws
(LL.B.) is conferred upon such students as have attained the age of
three full sessions of the Law School; and have successfully
passed the required examinations, with satisfactory performance of
the work of the Moot and Practice Courts, and of the assigned work.
More specifically, the candidate for graduation must have completed
all of the obligatory courses (see Outline of Courses, below), the
credit value of which is six hundred (600) units, and elective courses
of at least the credit value of two hundred and fifty (250) units—or a
total of eight hundred and fifty (850) units.
Candidates for the degree, who in any session have less than one
full year's course to complete, may be required to take such additional
work, and to stand such additional examinations as shall be prescribed.
OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The entire course of three years embraces 988 units (or lecture
periods of one and a half hours each) and to each subject satisfactorily
completed is attached a credit value of one unit for each lecture period
comprised therein. Of the total units, 600 are classed as obligatory and
the remaining 400 as elective. As stated, graduation requires the completion
of all the obligatory courses (credit value 600), plus elective
courses having a credit value of at least 250 units—or a minimum required
total of 850 units.
This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13½
hours) per week during the first and second years, and eight periods
(or 12 hours), the third year. The credit value of course number 4
(see table below) is 20 units.
Each session comprises 36 weeks, exclusive of holidays, and is
divided into three terms,—Sept. 15 to Dec. 23—Jan. 3 to March 21—
and March 22 to June 6.
Written examinations are held during the final week of each
term, on the subjects completed during the term.
The following tabular outline indicates the scope of the courses
offered.

Alteration of Courses and Schedules.—The right is reserved to
make such alterations in the nature or number of courses offered, or in the
schedules of lectures and examinations, as may be deemed necessary
or expedient.
Moot Court.—A Moot Court is organized by the students in the
First Year's course for the discussion of legal questions. Its meetings
begin at the opening and continue to the end of the session, with such
interruptions only as are incident to the proximity of the examinations.
Attendance is voluntary, as presence during the debates is intended to
be a privilege and not a burden. But every candidate for the degree
is required to argue at least one case in the Moot Court, and to hand
in a carefully prepared brief of his argument, with a digest of the
authorities relied on. The questions are chosen by the Law Faculty,
one of whom presides over the discussions. Interest and life are added
to the proceedings by the open debate held after the argument, the
presiding judge acting as interlocutor, and leading into the debate
those whom diffidence prompts to silence.
Practice Court.—The object of the Practice Court is to afford to
the student practical facility in the procedure which he will be called
on to apply at the bar, and to familiarize him with the whole proceedings
in actions at law, and suits in equity.
The Practice Court is presided over by members of the Law Faculty,
and is organized shortly after the beginning of the session. Its
terms are held weekly. Attendance, with punctual performance of all
assigned work is an essential part of the courses in Virginia Pleading
and Practice, and Equity Procedure.
Prize.—A prize for the best thesis on a subject assigned by the
Law Faculty is awarded annually in a competition open to members
of the third year class, who are candidates for graduation. It is donated
by the Edward Thompson Company of Northport, N. Y., and
consists of a set of the second edition of the American and English
Encyclopedia of Law (32 volumes), of the estimated value of $240.
The Edward Thompson Company Prize for the session of 1908-'09
was awarded to Gary W. Alexander, B. S., B. A., LL. B., of Jacksonville,
Fla. Subject: "The Locality of Crime."
Library.—The Law Library is accommodated by its own library
rooms, separate from the general University library. The rooms are
heated by steam and lighted by electricity, and are located with special
reference to the convenience of the law students. A librarian is in
attendance during working hours.
The library contains practically a complete set of the English Reports
to date; the reports of nearly all the States; the United States
Supreme Court Reports; the National Reporter System complete;
modern annotated reports, such as the American Decisions, American
Reports, American State Reports, Law Reports Annotated, English
Ruling Cases, etc.; and modern search-books, in the form of general
digests (including the Century) and Encyclopedias, besides a large
collection of text-books. Law students have all the privileges of the
general University Library, containing more than 60,000 volumes,
without extra charge.
New Law Building.—By the liberality of the Virginia Legislature,
a sufficient appropriation is immediately available for the erection
of a handsome building for the Law School now in course of erection.
It is hoped that by the beginning of the session of 1910-1911, or
shortly thereafter, the building will be ready for occupancy.

Requirements for Admission to the Department of Medicine.—Applicants
for admission to the Department of Medicine are required to
present the diploma of a recognized institution of collegiate rank; or
a certificate of good standing in such an institution; or the diploma of
a recognized public or private high school having a four years course,
or acceptable certificates which represent work equivalent in amount
and character to such a high school course; and, in addition, to present
evidence of the completion of a year's work in an approved institution
of collegiate rank, this work to include satisfactory courses in
Inorganic (General) Chemistry and Biology and one of the following:
Physics, German, or French.
The completion of a year's work in Zoölogy or Botany will be accepted
as satisfying the requirement in Biology.
A student may be admitted conditioned on any one of the above
subjects except Chemistry, this condition to be removed before entering
on the work of the second year.
The requirement in Biology may be waived in the case of graduates
of approved colleges and universities.
Further information concerning the character of these requirements
and forms for certificates may be obtained by addressing the
Dean of the University, or Mr. Howard Winston, Registrar, at the
University.
Facilities for and Methods of Instruction.—In recent years many
additions have been made to the laboratory facilities of the Department,
of Organic and Physiological Chemistry, Gross Anatomy, Histology
and Embryology, Bacteriology and Pathology, Physiology, Pharmacology,
Materia Medica, and Clinical Diagnosis. These laboratories
are all presided over by trained teachers, to whom teaching
and investigation are primary considerations. The number of hours
assigned to the laboratory subjects is quite large and affords ample
time for thorough study by the best methods. The student is brought
into close contact with teachers who are both willing and able to guide
him; he gains a very large part of his knowledge at first hand and by
his own exertions, and thus acquires the habit of working out things
for himself; he becomes self-reliant, a quality essential to the practice
of his difficult profession. Trained in this manner he acquires an
understanding of the medical sciences and the ability to apply the facts
of these sciences to the subsequent study of disease. For these reasons
the great fundamental sciences receive the utmost consideration,
constituting the entire work of the first two years.
The methods of clinical instruction are based upon the belief that
no clinical teaching is efficient which is not governed by essentially
the same principles as those which govern the best laboratory teaching.
This instruction is accordingly designed to enforce a careful,
thorough, face-to-face study of disease and its management by the
individual student. The facilities afforded by the University Hospital
and Dispensary are described on a subsequent page. In the third
year, after two sessions devoted to laboratory training, the student is
introduced to the study of disease in living persons. In the dispensary
and in the hospital he learns the methods of examining patients, of
diagnosing their diseases, and of instituting rational treatment; and he
learns these things in much the same way as he studied in the laboratory,
that is to say, by doing them himself under the direction and
criticism of the instructors. This practical training is accompanied by
a systematic study of the various subjects by means of lectures, textbooks,
and recitations. With this preparation the student is ready to
enter upon the hospital work in his fourth year. Here he has advantages
for clinical training similar to those enjoyed by internes.
Each clinical patient on admission to the hospital is assigned to a
student, and that patient is regarded as his "case." The student conducts
a complete examination, records his observations in a scientific
manner, makes a diagnosis, states his views as to the treatment indicated,
and keeps a complete record of the case, all under the advice
and criticism of the physician or surgeon in charge. He is expected
to keep himself informed of the progress of the case throughout its
course; if it is one requiring surgical treatment, he assists at the operation,
and thus is able to follow all the procedures of the operator
at close range. In addition students make frequent visits to the wards
nature, treatment, and progress of various cases are gone over in detail.
To carry out this method of clinical instruction the Hospital
had last year over 1200 cases. Since the number of students in each
class is relatively small, it is clear that the Department offers capable
young men clinical advantages which are distinctly exceptional.
Opportunities are offered in the fourth year for more extended
training in certain subjects with a view toward possible specialization
after graduation. See especially the description of courses in physiology,
pharmacology, and pathology.
At the meetings of the Medical Section of the Philosophical Society
reviews of important articles and original research are presented
by the instructors and by invited guests. These meetings are open to
the students.
Regulations.—The records given after the regular examination on
a course, with their explanations, are as follows:
PASSED indicates the satisfactory completion of the course and admits
to all dependent subjects.
CONDITIONED means that to obtain a clear record on the course the
student must pass the next special examination. Failure to take or to
pass this examination is equivalent to a record of "failed."
DEFICIENT indicates that part of the work of the course has not
been completed. Upon the satisfactory completion of this work within
the time and in the manner prescribed by the professor in charge the
student receives the record "passed;" otherwise the record is "failed"
on the entire course.
FAILED indicates that the course must be repeated; except that
when the laboratory or other practical work has been satisfactorily
performed, the professor in charge may, at his discretion, excuse
the student from repeating the same; and, by special vote of the faculty,
the student may be granted optional attendance upon the course,
in whole or in part. In general a student who is repeating a course
will be required to attend all the exercises of the course, and will not
be excused from any exercise thereof because of schedule conflicts
with more advanced work.
Absence from a regular examination, when excused because of illness
or other equivalent cause, gives a record of conditioned; if not excused,
a record of failed.
To pass a regular or a special examination a grade of eighty per
cent. is required. If the grade is less than eighty per cent. but not
No student will be admitted to any subject of the second or the
third year if more than one third of the work of the preceding year
remains unfinished. If at the beginning of the year his deficiencies
have not been made up by the satisfactory completion of courses at
some school approved by the instructors in charge at this University, he may
continue as a student in the Department of Medicine only by repeating
the courses in which he has failed. In the interpretation of this rule
the values of the subjects of the first and second years are estimated in
points as follows:
Anatomy 1, 16 points; Anatomy 2, 5 points; Organic Chemistry 15
points; Histology, 14 points; Embryology, 6 points; Physiological
Chemistry, 8 points.
Anatomy 3, 16 points; Physiology, 20 points; Bacteriology, 8
points; Pathology, 20 points; Pharmacology, 8 points.
Students will not be allowed to undertake the work of the third or
fourth year until they have completed that of the first year, save by
special consent of the Medical Faculty.
A student may not take any course, either in whole or in part (as
explained under the above definition of "failed"), more than two times.
A second record of "failed" on the same course involves withdrawal
from the Department of Medicine.
Advanced Standing.—Students are admitted to advanced standing
in the second and third years under the following conditions:
1. Satisfaction of the requirements for entrance into this Department.
2. The presentation of a certificate from an accredited school of
medicine showing that the applicant has completed work equivalent to
that maintained by this Department with a grade of at least eighty
per cent. in each subject for which credit is sought. Applicants complying
with these conditions will be admitted to advanced standing
without examination. Applicants who have not completed all of the
work of the year or years preceding that to which they seek admission
are admitted to the Fall Examinations under the conditions stated
in the subsequent paragraph on Examinations. The right is reserved
in every case to obtain satisfactory evidence of the genuineness of a
certificate by correspondence with the proper authority of the school
from which the applicant comes.
No credit can be allowed for time not spent in a regular school of
medicine; except that applicants holding the degree of A. B. or B. S.
from a reputable college or university will be admitted to the second
first-year medical course.
A student who is already a graduate of a reputable school of medicine
may be received as a student in this Department for the fourth
year.
Certificates of Attendance.—Students who attend the whole regular
course of one or more of the four years are entitled to certificates
of attendance.
Requirements for Graduation.—The degree of Doctor of Medicine
is conferred by the University of Virginia upon candidates who have
complied with the entrance requirements of this Department; attended
a regular medical course of four years of at least eight months each,
the last two of which must have been at this institution; and have satisfactorily
completed all of the subjects included in the medical course.
Examinations.—These are in writing, accompanied in many subjects
by individual practical examinations. The regular examinations
are held at stated periods during the session. In addition, examinations
are held each year during the week immediately preceding the
beginning of lectures. To the latter are admitted:
1. Students of the previous session who, from illness or other
equivalent cause approved by the faculty, were unable to present
themselves for examination in any particular subject at the regular
time.
2. Students who at the regular examination of the preceding year
have attained a grade less than eighty per cent. but as much as seventy
per cent. on one or more subjects, as explained in a preceding paragraph;
or any student who has received the record of "conditioned" on
a course taken in this University.
3. Certain applicants for advanced standing, who satisfy the requirements
stated under "Advanced Standing," and meet the above
conditions of this section.
The Fall Examinations for 1910-1911 begin September twelfth,
and close September seventeenth. Application for admission to them
should be made in writing to Dr. R. H. Whitehead, Dean of the Department
of Medicine, not later than September first.
Expenses.—The tuition fees are $110 for the first year, $100 for
the second year, $80 for the third year, and $60 for the fourth year.
The annual expenses exclusive of tuition are $40 for the University
fee (which entitles the student to the use of the library, the gymnasium,
to medical attention, etc.), an average of about $200 for living
expenses, and $20 for books.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
The work of each of the four years of the course in Medicine continues
through the nine months of the University session. Studies included
are arranged as follows:
During the first session: Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and
Anatomy of the Nervous System; Normal Histology, and Embryology;
Physiological Chemistry.
During the second session: Anatomy; Physiology; Bacteriology
and Pathology; Pharmacology; Physical Diagnosis.
During the third session: Materia Medica, Pharmacy, and Toxicology;
Clinical Diagnosis; Theory and Practice of Medicine; Surgery
and Gynecology; Obstetrics.
During the fourth session: Surgery and Gynecology; Neurology,
Pediatrics, Dermatology, and Therapeutics; Hygiene; Diseases of the
Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat; Forensic Medicine; Obstetrics.
In the following description of courses, the number of hours represents
the amount of time each student devotes to the course. In addition
to the hours scheduled in the third and fourth years of the
course, each student devotes a considerable amount of time to practical
work which does not appear in the schedule, but the satisfactory
performance of which is essential to graduation. Thus the taking
of histories, the visits to his cases in the hospital, assisting at operations,
attendance upon cases of labour, the employment of microscopical
and chemical methods of diagnosis require much time which
it has not seemed possible to record in a rigid schedule. It should,
however, be stated that each student gives several hundred hours to
this required but unscheduled practical work.
ANATOMY.
Professor Whitehead.
Associate Professor Jordan.
Mr. Waddell.
Mr. Smart.
The work in this subject extends through the entire first year and
the first six months of the second year. It is divided, for the sake of
convenience, as follows:
Anatomy 1.—Six hours weekly until November 1st; twelve hours
weekly from November 1st to the end of the winter term of the first year.
This course begins with a systematic study of the bones, on the completion
and thorax, or the lower extremity and abdomen) is assigned
to each student for dissection and study. For this purpose each cadaver
is considered as composed of four parts; on the completion of
this course and Anatomy 3 each student has dissected a lateral half of
the body. Emphasis is placed upon the benefit to be derived by the
student who obtains his knowledge at first hand and by his own personal
efforts. While practical dissection and the consideration of topographical
relations make up the essential features of the course, there
are occasional lectures and frequent recitations, followed by a final
written examination in March. The satisfactory performance of the
laboratory work is essential to a passing grade. Dr. Whitehead.
Anatomy 2.—Six hours weekly during the spring term of the first
year.—This course consists in a laboratory study of the anatomy of the
central nervous system carried out in considerable detail. The gross
anatomy of the spinal cord and brain is first considered, on the completion
of which sections of the more important regions are studied
carefully with the aid of the microscope. For the purposes of the
course the laboratory is well equipped. Fresh brains are obtained each
year from the dissecting material of the department; and several excellent
series of sections of the cord and brain both of infants and
adults stained by the Weigert-Pal method are thoroughly used. The
laboratory work is supplemented by recitations and occasional lectures.
Dr. Whitehead.
Anatomy 3.—Ten hours weekly from October 1st through the fall
term and fourteen hours weekly during the winter term of the second year.
This course is the continuation of Anatomy 1, and consists of the
systematic dissection and study, by essentially the same methods, of
the parts not studied during the first year. Mr. Waddell.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the fall and winter terms of the first year. The
student's record in the course will depend upon his recitations, laboratory
drawing books, and final examination, both written and practical.
The course aims to acquaint the student primarily with the microscopic
structure of cells, tissues, and organs. Cytogenesis and histogenesis
are briefly considered in the case of many tissues studied; and
the relation of the whole subject of histology to pathology is never
lost sight of. The student is also given opportunity to acquaint himself
with the principles and practice of histological technique. The
laboratory is excellently equipped with microscopes, paraffin baths,
microtomes, and various accessories essential to the most favorable
presentation of this course.
A record of seventy per cent. in this course is required for admission
Dr. Jordan and Mr. Smart.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the spring term of the first
year. The laboratory work (six hours weekly) is accompanied by lectures,
recitations, and the study of models and text-books. The course
aims to give the student a knowledge of developmental processes, in
the light of which he may the better understand the more abstruse
normal conditions of adult anatomy, as well as many anomalies and
variations, neoplasms and malformations. The close correlation of
obstetrics is recognized, and a correct knowledge of the fetus and its
membranes is taught from the embryological approach. The course
is made as practical as possible for the student and practitioner of
medicine. It begins with a consideration of maturation phenomena,
fertilization, segmentation, and the development of the germ-layers.
This study is made chiefly upon the ova and early stages of an invertebrate,
followed by a comparison in an amphibian. The chick is used
for the primary relations of the systems to one another; and this is
followed by the study of pig embryos, where each system is taken up
separately and the organology and histogenesis of its parts are studied.
Finally, the fetal membranes and their relations to the fetus and
uterus are studied in their variations among the amniota. Dr. Jordan
and Mr. Smart.
CHEMISTRY.
Professor Kastle.
Dr. Edgar.
Organic Chemistry.—Lectures and recitations, three hours weekly;
laboratory work four hours weekly, during the fall and winter terms of the
first year. This course includes the systematic study of organic chemistry
or the chemistry of the compounds of carbon, with special reference
to substances of importance in their relation to medicine. The
object of this course of study is to familiarize the student with the
more important organic compounds and with the methods at present
employed in chemical synthesis and to lay the foundation for subsequent
work in physiological chemistry, pharmacology, etc., etc.
A record of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to physiological chemistry.
Physiological Chemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations and nine
hours of laboratory work weekly during the spring term of the first year.
This course has for its object to afford instruction in the fundamentals
of physiological chemistry, especially the chemical structure, properties,
and reactions of the more important compounds with which the
student must deal in his subsequent studies of physiology. The laboratory
thorough study of the properties of the carbohydrates, fats, soaps,
fatty acids, and proteins and of the more important members of each
of these groups; the composition of blood, milk, muscle, pancreas,
and other organs; the action of the more important digestive enzymes
and of the bile; and the chemistry of the urine. Accurate quantitative
determinations are required of urea (Folin), total nitrogen (Kjeldahl),
uric acid (Hopkins-Folin), ammonia (Folin), sugar (Fehling and
Benedict), and kreatinin (Folin). Other processes of quantitative
analysis, such as the Soxhlet method of fat determination and the
silver nitrate method of determining the total purins, are either demonstrated
or their essential manipulations carried out by the student
himself. The exceptional preparation of students not only in general
but also in organic chemistry makes it possible to acquire in this
course not only a clear understanding of the problems of physiological
chemistry but also skill in the use of the fundamental qualitative
and quantitative methods.
A grade of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to Physiology.
PHYSIOLOGY.
Professor Hough.
Physiology.—Four hours weekly of lectures, recitations, and demonstrations
throughout the second year; six hours weekly of laboratory
work in the fall and winter terms. The physiology of muscle and nerve;
blood and lymph; the circulation; respiration; secretion; digestion and
nutrition; excretion; the sense organs; and the central nervous system.
The laboratory is equipped with kymographs, induction coils,
signals, muscle and heart levers, tambours, manometers, etc., for
thirty men working at one time in pairs. The work of the laboratory
closely follows the lectures and is an integral part of the study of
each subject. The student becomes practically acquainted with the
methods of modern physiological investigation and is required to hand
in tracings or other records together with full descriptions of his experiments.
The satisfactory completion of the laboratory work is as
necessary to a clear record on the course as is the passing of the final
examinations.
Open only to students who have obtained a grade of seventy per
cent. in Histology and in Physiological Chemistry. The satisfactory
completion of the laboratory work of this course is necessary for admission
to Pharmacology.
During the winter and spring terms a student's Physiological Journal
and discuss current literature.
Advanced Physiology.—Six hours weekly throughout the winter and
spring terms. An elective open to third and fourth year students who
have completed Physiology. Some one portion of physiology
—the subject changing from year to year—is studied more fully than
is possible in the required courses and students are referred to the
original literature as far as possible. As an introduction to the methods
of experimental investigation, either a number of more difficult
experiments are assigned or else the student repeats the experimental
work of some original memoir. He then undertakes, under the
guidance of the professor in charge, an investigation, which may be
continued, if desired, into the spring term. There are weekly conferences
for the discussion of the assigned reading and experiments.
The object of the course is to afford those students who are inclined
to specialize in physiology the opportunity to do so. The
course must at present be limited to four students.
BACTERIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY.
Professor Marshall.
Adjunct Professor Meloy.
Mr. Jones.
Thirteen hours weekly throughout the second year.
Bacteriology and pathology are taught throughout the second year
from September to June. Practical laboratory work by the student
with daily individual attention from the instructors forms the basis of
each course.
In Bacteriology the student is taught to prepare culture media
and to employ the usual methods necessary for the isolation and
identification of bacteria, and he learns the biological peculiarities of
the microorganisms concerned in the common bacterial diseases.
After a few days have been spent in the making of culture media,
sterilization, etc., the general technic is learned by isolating the bacteria
from the air and from exposed surfaces. Following this, the pathogenic
bacteria are taken up serially. Those receiving special attention
are the bacteria concerned in wound infections, in respiratory and intestinal
diseases, and in tuberculosis.
With several diseases the pathogenic action of the bacteria is
studied directly upon animals, the anatomical changes are observed,
the bacteria are recovered, and the diseased tissues are prepared by
the student for miscroscopic examination.
The lectures which accompany the laboratory work are designed
to set forth clearly the relation which bacteria bear to disease, to immunity,
and to preventive medicine.
The course in Pathology extends from January to June. The
greater part of the practical work is devoted to the study of the microscopic
changes occurring in disease. This is supplemented by the
study of autopsy material and museum specimens. Wherever it is possible
the development and progress of the lesions are studied experimentally.
The practical work includes the consideration of the vascular disturbances,
degeneration, inflammation, regeneration, and of benign and
malignant tumors. The diseases produced by animal parasites are
considered briefly. During the course the student has an opportunity
to learn the standard methods employed in preparing tissues for
microscopic examination, and he is called upon to witness and assist
in the autopsies.
A lecture precedes the practical work each day and in addition
selected topics are discussed more fully in a series of lectures.
Both in Bacteriology and Pathology frequent recitations are held,
and the standing of the student is determined largely from these and
from the character of his daily work.
In addition to the courses outlined above, there will be opportunities
for qualified students to engage in special work.
The work in Pathology is open only to students who have obtained
a record of eighty per cent. on Histology.
PHARMACOLOGY, MATERIA MEDICA, AND TOXICOLOGY.
Professor Eyster.
Mr. Wilde.
Pharmacology.—One hour weekly of lectures during the second term
and five hours of lectures, recitations, and demonstration and eight hours
of laboratory work weekly during the third term of the second year. In
this course a study is made of the chemical characteristics and physiological
action of representative drugs from the different pharmacological
groups. The satisfactory completion of the laboratory work
of Physiology is required for admission to the course.
Materia Medica and Pharmacy.—Three hours of lectures and recitation
and four hours of laboratory work weekly during the first term of the
third year. The more important drugs and preparations of the Pharmacopea,
together with newer non-official which bid fair to attain or
have attained considerable use, form the subject of study. In the
laboratory the student becomes familiar with the peculiarities and
methods of preparation of the different preparations of the Pharmacopea,
important drugs. Especial attention is paid to chemical and pharmaceutical
incompatibility. Prescription writing is dealt with by lecture
and frequent practical exercises.
Toxicology.—One hour of lecture and four hours of laboratory
weekly during the second term of the third year. The methods of separation
and identification of poisons.
Forensic Medicine.—One lecture weekly during the first term of the
fourth year.
The laboratory is well equipped for special study and investigation
in Pharmacology and Toxicology, and offers at all times this opportunity
to medical students and others who may wish to pursue some
special line of inquiry. The head of the department will be glad to
suggest and outline problems for investigation to any medical or other
student who has had the necessary preliminary training in physiology
or chemistry for such investigation.
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Professor Davis.
Associate Professor Flippin.
Dr. Magruder.
Dr. Nelson.
Dr. Rea.
Dr. Garnett.
Second Year.
Physical Diagnosis.—Four hours weekly during the spring term of the
second year. Instruction is given in the principles and methods of
physical examination. Attention is especially given to study of the
normal subject. Dr. Flippin.
Third Year.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the fall and winter
terms of the first year. In this course the student is made familiar with
those modern laboratory methods which are practically helpful in the diagnosis
of disease. These include, among others, the systematic examination
of blood, sputum, urine, gastric contents, feces, exudates,
transudates, and milk. The student is not only required to understand
the methods employed in such examinations, but by practice to
acquire the skill necessary for accurate results. The instruction is
given in the new Clinical Laboratory, situated in the north wing of
the Hospital. This laboratory is well equipped with instruments and
apparatus, and the wards of the Hospital furnish ample material for
the proper presentation of the subject. Dr. Flippin and Mr. Smith.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures
and recitations throughout the third year; nine hours weekly in the clinics
for one half the session. A systematic course of lectures, supplemented
by work in the Dispensary and Hospital. The class is divided into
two sections, each of which devotes itself for half the year to the
medical service in the Dispensary and also twice a week receives instruction
on selected cases in the wards of the Hospital. There is a
general medical clinic once a week in the hospital amphitheater for
the third and fourth year students. Dr. Davis, Dr. Flippin, Dr. Magruder,
Dr. Nelson.
Fourth Year.
In the fourth year the same plan is followed in the clinical work;
each of the two sections of the class devotes itself for half the year to
the medical service in the wards of the hospital. Full histories are
taken of every case, thorough examinations made, and management
indicated by the students of each division. The records thus obtained
are kept up by the student assigned to the case, which he is expected
to follow until its discharge. The accuracy and completeness with
which this is done constitutes a large element in the determination
of fitness for graduation.
The subjects treated with the approximate division of time between
them are as follows:
Nervous Diseases and Insanity.—Three lectures and recitations
weekly supplemented by clinical work during the fall term of the fourth
year. In this course is given also instruction in electro-therapeutics.
Dr. Davis.
Pediatrics.—Three lectures and recitations weekly supplemented by
clinical work during the winter term of the fourth year. This course
of lectures is intended to point out in a brief way how disease is modified
by childhood and to indicate how the difficulties of diagnosis and
treatment due to early age may best be encountered. The principles
of infant feeding are emphasized and the student is taught how to prepare
the food. Instruction in the practical details of the subject is
given by work at the Dispensary and in the wards of the Hospital.
Dr. Davis and Dr. Rea.
Dermatology.—A brief course of lectures is given on this subject
embodying a consideration of the commoner diseases met with in medical
practice. At the Dispensary two clinics a week throughout the year
are devoted to the diseases of the skin. The senior class is divided
into sections for the work in this branch. After a brief review of the
anatomic and histologic structure and of the physiology of the skin,
the diseases most commonly met with are discussed.
The clinical material available at the University Dispensary is
utilized to the best advantage to give the students a practical working
knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of affections of the skin.
Dr. Davis and Dr. Garnett.
Case Teaching, Medical Ethics and Economics, and Insurance
Examinations.—Two hours weekly during the spring term of the fourth
year. Dr. Davis.
Therapeutics.—Two lectures weekly during the second half of the
fourth year, with five hours weekly of ward rounds for one half the
session.
The treatment of internal diseases is discussed in a systematic
course of lectures and practically demonstrated in the wards of the
Hospital. Especial attention is given to the clinical side of the
teaching of this subject, the student being required to suggest treatment
for cases assigned to him and to follow closely and make a
record of the results of the therapeutic agents employed throughout
the course of the disease.
The course includes a discussion of the preparation of food for
the sick; demonstrations of the preparation of stupes, plasters, and
poultices; and the methods of giving therapeutic baths, electrical
treatment, massage, and other therapeutic measures. Dr. Flippin.
SURGERY AND GYNECOLOGY.
Professor Watts.
Adjunct Professor Stone.
Dr. Goodwin.
Surgery and Gynecology.—During the third year, five hours weekly
of lectures and recitations, and two hours weekly of surgical clinic
throughout the session, with six hours weekly in the Dispensary for one
half the session.
During the fourth year, two hours weekly of surgical clinic throughout
the session; three hours weekly of ward classes, supplemented by
clinical work in the wards and operating room for one half the session.
Third Year.
The study of Surgery begins in the third year and continues
through the fourth year. In the third year the class room work consists
of lectures and recitations, as arranged in the schedule, in which
the Principles and Practice of Surgery, Surgical Diseases, Surgical
Diagnosis, etc., are thoroughly discussed. This also includes the
surgical specialties, Orthopedics, Genito-urinary Surgery, etc.
The Dispensary course in the third year gives opportunities for
Experience in dressings, bandaging, anesthesia, and minor
surgery is afforded. Surgical appliances and technique are demonstrated
to the students, divided into small groups.
Fourth Year.
In the fourth year the instruction is carried on by clinics and bedside
demonstrations in the hospital. In the wards the students are
assigned cases, whose histories they must take, make complete physical
and clinical examinations, urine analyses, blood examinations,
etc. In the ward rounds the diagnosis, operative and other treatment,
post-operative care of the cases, complications, prognosis, etc., are
discussed in detail. A large variety of cases is available, and the
close contact of the students with their cases and with the routine of
hospital management offer many of the opportunities that an internship
affords.
In the operating rooms the students, in small groups, take part
in the operations, thus acquiring familiarity with technique, anesthetization,
etc. Those of the class who are not assisting, witness the
operations, whose important features are demonstrated to them.
The work in Gynecology follows closely the outlines already
described for surgery. In the third year the general principles of
gynecology are taken up in lectures and recitations. In addition, the
dispensary affords practice in palpation, diagnosis and treatment.
In the fourth year the students have the same general work as in
surgery, consisting of the examination and recording of cases in the
public wards, attendance on ward rounds, at which the cases are discussed,
and observation and assistance in the operating rooms. Dr.
Watts, Dr. Stone, and Dr. Goodwin.
In addition to the above course, required of all students, the following
elective courses are offered:
Surgical Pathology.—Two hours weekly during one half of the
year. The work in this course comprises lectures upon the pathology
of surgical lesions, with especial emphasis upon the clinical diagnosis
of tumors and inflammations, the examination of microscopic sections,
and the study of fresh tissues in the gross, obtained from the operating
room. The purpose of the course is to supplement the general
courses in pathology and surgery, and to acquaint the student with
the appearance of fresh pathological material from surgical cases. Dr.
Stone.
Operative Surgery.—Five hours a week during half of the year.
This course consists of lectures upon the development of operations,
performance by the student of these operations upon living animals.
The course affords experience in the use of anesthesia, the handling
of living tissues, and post-operative treatment. The students care
for the animals from the time they enter the clinic until they are
well. Dr. Stone.
OBSTETRICS.
Professor Macon.
Obstetrics.—Three hours weekly of lectures, recitations, and manikin
demonstrations during the third year, supplemented by work with
living subjects in the wards of the Hospital.
The class is divided into sections of five for manikin instruction
and for examination of patients in the Hospital. The manikin course
forms an important part of the work, not only for teaching presentation,
position, and posture, but also the mechanism of normal and
abnormal labor and the application of forceps. When the section is
taken into the wards of the Hospital, the methods of examination,
particularly abdominal palpation, are practiced on the living subject.
In the fourth year the student attends, under the guidance of an
instructor, the labour cases in the Hospital, is required to prepare
the history of patients, and to follow up the cases through the puerperium.
Instruction is also given in the care of the new born. In
addition the student has the chance of attending patients in the outpatient
department and each student is expected to attend at least
four cases of labour.
DISEASES OF THE EYE, EAR, NOSE, AND THROAT.
Professor Hedges.
Professor Compton
Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat.—Two lectures weekly
from the beginning of the session to the first of March, supplemented by
regular clinics twice weekly throughout the fourth year and clinical lectures
to sections of the class as suitable cases occur.
No attempt is made to train specialists, but every effort is made
to render the class familiar with such common diseases of the eye,
ear, nose, and throat as the general practitioner meets in his daily
work. To this end the class is divided into small sections and each
student is taught the methods of examination and the use of the
ophthalmoscope, head-mirror, and of the laryngeal and post-nasal
mirrors. In the clinics each patient is assigned to a student who
must take the history and keep the record of that patient; the case is
student makes his own examination under the personal supervision of
the attending physician. Clinical cases are abundant, and during the
year the student sees and handles practically all the common diseases
of the eye, ear, and upper respiratory tract.
At the operations in the Hospital only as many students are allowed
to be present as can really see and appreciate what is being
done.
Valuable work is also given in the dissecting room, where the
technic of operative work is shown in a way that cannot be employed
with the living patient. Students do this work as far as
possible for themselves, especially in tracheotomy and intubation of
the larynx.
Finally the attempt is made so to ground the student in the
anatomy, physiology, general pathology, and in methods of examination
and treatment that he may diagnose and treat intelligently many
of the cases that cannot afford to go to a perhaps distant specialist;
that he may treat successfully that large class of emergency cases
that first come to the general practitioner and in which immediate
treatment is imperative; and, lastly, that he may recognize and intelligently
refer those cases that need the services of one specially
trained to this branch of work.
HYGIENE.
Professor Lambeth.
Hygiene.—Three hours weekly throughout the fourth year.
The course begins with a historical sketch of the development of
preventive medicine, including short biographical sketches of the
pioneers of Hygiene. With this introduction the story of the natural
history of contagious and infectious diseases, modes of propagation
and methods of prevention engage the attention of the student. With
this preparation, the chemical and bacteriological contamination of
food, water, air, and soil is made an important study. Instruction is
also begun in the proper location and construction of habitations, hospitals,
schoolhouses, etc., with special reference to the modern methods
of heating, ventilating, and draining. Notice is taken of the special
relations involved in military and naval hygiene.
THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL.
This Hospital is the property of the University, and is under the
exclusive control of its Medical Faculty. It was designed and is administered
as a teaching hospital, being so arranged that free use can
be made of its clinical material without in any way disturbing or violating
the privacy of other patients.
The buildings are arranged upon the pavilion system, consisting
of a central structure, four stories in height, devoted to the purposes
of administration, and two wings. The administration building contains,
on the main floor, reception and consultation rooms; an amphitheater
and private operating rooms, with sterilizing and anesthetizing
rooms attached, and an X-ray room. The upper floors furnish accommodation
for the nurses of the training school, while the basement
contains the heating plant, laundry, kitchen, etc. From this
building corridors in three stories lead out to the wards. These
wards, having a capacity of about eighteen beds each, are beautifully
lighted, have direct indirect hot-water radiators, and forced ventilation.
Opening from each ward on the east is a large protected porch, of
great value to convalescents. The south wing has been in use for
several years; the new north wing, completed in 1907, gives the Hospital
a capacity of about 100 beds. The equipment throughout is new,
and conforms in all respects to the best usage of the day.
During the past year the number of patients has steadily increased,
and the range of influence of the Hospital has been greatly
widened, patients being received from all parts of the State.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that this hospital, with
its associated dispensary, constitutes a valuable adjunct to the teaching
facilities of the Medical School. The variety of cases presented,
and more especially the opportunities offered for a thorough study of
the individual case, afford unusually satisfactory conditions for clinical
instruction.

Dr. Goodwin.
The Dispensary has been renovated and newly equipped, so that
it now affords the necessary facilities for conducting useful and scientific
clinics. In the past about fifteen hundred cases have been treated
annually, and this number should now increase. The students are
divided into small sections, and are required to examine, record, treat,
and follow each case that comes to the clinic. The work is done under

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
This School was established in 1901, and its first class was graduated
in June, 1903. Its aim is to give young women, desirous of acquiring
the art of nursing, the same care and thorough training in
their calling which is now afforded young men studying the science of
medicine. Instruction in the primary branches of medicine is given
to pupil nurses by the professors in the Medical Department of the
University of Virginia, while the clinical instructors at the University
Hospital give lectures upon their respective courses. Three years is
the required time for graduation, and all candidates must enter prepared
to go through the full course of instruction and hospital training.
Candidates for the school should apply in their own handwriting
to the Superintendent of Nurses, University Hospital, University, Va.
These applications must be accompanied by certificates of good character,
good health, and sufficient education to profit by the instruction
offered. No candidate under twenty-one years of age, or over thirty-five,
will be received.

| History.—Ancient; Mediæval; English; American (any one) | 1 |
| Electives | 6 |
| Total | 14 |
The candidate is recommended to include among his six electives
Physical Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical Drawing, and
Shop-work (valued at one unit each). Other electives which may be offered
are History (3 units), Latin (4 units), German (2 units), French (2
units), Spanish (2 units), Botany (half unit), Zoölogy (half unit).
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
The candidate who has satisfied the requirements for entrance as
above defined is matriculated as a student of Engineering and admitted
to the regular Freshman Class. The studies of this class comprise
lecture-courses in Mathematics 1, Physics 1, and Chemistry 1, with
associated laboratory courses in Physics, Chemistry, and Drawing
and Shop-work, as specified below.
For advancement to the Sophomore Class the student must have
completed at least two thirds of his Freshman work. Upon entering
this class he elects his specialty. The courses thereafter diverge according
as the student is an applicant for a degree in Civil, Mechanical,
Electrical, Mining, or Chemical Engineering. Programmes of
study for each degree are given below.
The courses are so ordered that the specified entrance requirements
are adequate for the work of the Freshman Year. Each succeeding
year presupposes the completion of the work for all the foregoing
years. Students are advised to adhere strictly to the regular programmes.
The arrangements specified in them have been carefully
planned and are the best. Haphazard election is discouraged and in
extreme cases will be prohibited. No student will be registered for
a course unless in the opinion both of the Dean and of the professor
that course.
Students are especially advised against the attempt to crowd too
many studies into their scheme of work, and are warned that admission
to advanced courses will be granted only to those who have
adequate mathematical and scientific training to profit by them. Men
overloaded with work, too great in volume or in difficulty for their
powers, suffer inevitable discouragement and incur almost certain
failure.
MATHEMATICS.
Mathematics 1. [Page.]
In Trigonometry, a complete course in Plane and Spherical Trigonometry
is pursued with constant drill in the solution of problems,
and exercises in the use of logarithms.
In Algebra, the work begins with the Progressions and proceeds
with the study of the Binomial Formula, Convergence and Divergence
of Series, with special study of the Binomial, Exponential, and Logarithmic
Series. The study of Inequalities and Determinants prepares
for the Theory of Equations with which the course is closed.
In elementary Analytical Geometry the study of Cartesian and
Polar Coordinates is followed by numerous exercises on the graphical
representation of equations. Special attention is given to the straight
line and the representation of the general equation of the first degree
in two variables. The course is intended to prepare for the fuller
study of the Analytical Geometry of the conic sections.
Mathematics 2. [Echols].
The subject matter of this course consists of the Analytical
Geometry of the Conic Sections beginning with the circle; Differential
Calculus; Integral Calculus. It is expected to conclude the work
in Analytical Geometry early in November and then to take up the
Differential Calculus which is discussed until the March examinations.
The last term of the session is devoted exclusively to the
Integral Calculus. Applicants for advanced standing must pass a
written examination on the topics of Mathematics 1.
MECHANICS.
Mechanics 1. [Thornton].
The Fall Term is devoted to General Mechanics. The fundamental
laws of motion, force, and energy are established and applied to
the Statics and Dynamics of material particles and rigid bodies.
The work of the Winter Term is in Graphical Statics. The graphical
method is studied and applied to the analysis of roofs, bridges,
dams, walls, chimneys, and other simple structures. The elements of
the Strength of Materials are also taught.
In the Spring Term a careful study is made of Hydrostatics and
elementary Hydraulics. Special attention is given to problems of large
technical importance; such as the design of dams, aqueducts, and pipe
lines; the theory of the barometer and so on.
Parallel with the lecture courses laboratory exercises are given
in the testing of cements and mortars, of timber, and of iron and steel
and other metals.
Mechanics 2. [Thornton].
The work of the Fall Term is Strength of Materials. The fundamental
laws of strength and elasticity are developed and applied to
the analysis and design of the elements of structures and machines.

as for example Continuous Girders and Trusses, Retaining
Walls and Reservoir Walls, Solid and Braced Elastic Arches, and
other structures of the more complex types.
In the Spring Term a course is given on Hydraulics and Hydraulic
Motors, in which the fundamental principles of this science are established
and applied to the great problems of Hydraulic Engineering;
as for example the design of aqueducts and pipe lines, the analysis
and test of turbines and pumps, and the gauging of rivers.
The practical courses, which run parallel with the lecture courses,
include advanced work in the Strength and Elasticity of Materials;
laboratory practice in Hydraulic Measurements (efflux, pipe friction,
pressure, buoyancy, and so on); and field exercises in gauging the
flow of rivers and canals.

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

theory are developed, free use being made of the methods of the calculus.
The lectures begin, however, with fundamental principles of
the subject. Laboratory work more advanced than that in Physics 1
will be required, occupying the student from four to six hours a week,
and calling for the more exact measurement of the chief physical
quantities here dealt with.
CHEMISTRY.
Chemistry 1. [Bird].
This class meets three times a week for lectures and works six
hours a week in the laboratory. It studies the fundamental principles
of General Chemistry—Inorganic, Organic, and Physical; but devotes
most of the time to the significant phenomena of Inorganic Chemistry.
At appropriate places the foundations of Analytical Chemistry are
taught and such special exercises are given as will emphasize the
more important chemical properties of the structural materials of Engineering,
fuels, and so on. No previous study of Chemistry is demanded;
but to students, who have received preliminary instruction
in a chemical laboratory, the exercises assigned are of a somewhat
more advanced type.
Chemistry 2. [Kastle and Edgar].
This course consists of two divisions: Part I in Organic Chemistry:
Part II in Physical Chemistry. The class meets three times a
week for lectures and works four hours a week in the laboratory. For
Part II no knowledge of the Calculus is required.

The Freshman course combines instruction in Mechanical Drawing
and Shop-Work, the exercises begin so correlated that the student
acquires at the same time the elementary technique of Engineering
Drafting and the essentials of accuracy, neatness, and dexterity best
gained by carefully directed practise in the use of hand and machine
tools. Every exercise in the shops is the reproduction of a drawing
already worked out by the student himself at the drawing board.
Three periods a week of three hours each are assigned to this course;
two periods being given to Drawing and one to Shop-Work. The
exercises in the drafting room include free-hand and mechanical lettering,
elementary graphics, projection drawing, machine drawing,
and tracing and blue-printing. The shop exercises include benchwork
in wood and in metals, wood-turning, and work in wood and
metals with machine tools.

ANALYTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY.
Analytical Chemistry 1. [Dunnington].
This course consists of three lessons a week throughout the session,
after each of which the students spend three or four hours in
practical experiments in the Laboratory. A course in Chemical
Manipulation is first given, then Blowpipe Analysis, Recognition of
Ores, Fire Assaying of Ores of Lead, Gold, and Silver, and a systematic
course in Inorganic Qualitative Analysis, followed by practice
in the analysis of salts, alloys, and ores, and the examination of potable
water, coal, limestone, clay, and so on, including some simpler
quantitative determinations. Weekly written exercises are required.
Analytical Chemistry 2. [Dunnington].
The work of this course is also given in three lessons a week
throughout the session, each being followed by four hours or more
of practical laboratory work. This course is primarily one in Quantitative
Analysis. After some training in manipulation and gravimetric
estimations, the class pursues volumetric estimations and a full
course in Quantitative Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and
steel, technical products, and so on. Weekly written exercises are
required. As the student advances in the course he is encouraged to
undertake original research and assisted in its prosecution; and in determining
his fitness for graduation, work of this kind is considered as
having much weight.
The laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during
all the working hours of the day.
Industrial Chemistry. [Dunnington].
This course is concerned with the applications of chemistry to the
purposes of human life. It examines in detail the chemical principles
and processes specially involved in the more important arts and manufactures;
as for example the Metallurgy of iron, steel, copper, and all
the important metals: the Manufacture of limes, cements, mortars, and
other building materials: the Chemistry of explosives, lubricants,
paints, and other preservatives. Exercises in chemical computations
are regularly required.
The collections of the University in illustration of the processes
and products of Industrial Chemistry have been procured at much
expense and pains in this country, England, France, and Germany,
and are usually extensive and good; among the best on this side of the
Atlantic.

CONFERENCE CLUB AND THESIS WORK.
Every candidate for a degree in Engineering will be required at
the beginning of his graduating year to submit to the Dean some
subject for independent study suited to the student's especial course
and aims. After such subject has been approved by the Dean and
the Professor in charge, the student will be expected to carry out
for himself the necessary literary and laboratory researches and to
present his results in the form of a Graduating Thesis. Such thesis
must be typewritten on standard sheets, 8 by 10½ inches, bound in
a proper cover, and handed in for final approval not later than May
25th. All necessary computations and drawings must accompany the
thesis. Serious weight will be given to this work in estimating the
student's fitness for graduation.
To stimulate the independent work of the candidates for graduation
the Junior and Senior students of this Department and the members
of the Faculty will be organized into a Conference Club, which
will conduct weekly conferences on engineering problems of immediate
value and present importance. At these meetings the candidates
for graduation will make from week to week reports of progress on
their thesis work. In addition reports will be made and illustrated
lectures will be delivered on great engineering undertakings of current
interest. From time to time addresses will be made before the
Club by the alumni of this Department and other engineers engaged
in professional practice. By vote of the regular members a limited
number of the students of the lower classes may be granted the privileges
of the Club.
A Reading Room has been fitted up for the use of the regular
members of the Club. In it the more important Engineering periodical
publications will be kept on file.
ENGINEERING ELECTIVES.
In his Senior year each candidate for graduation is required to
choose from the technical studies not required in his own group a
set of elective studies, sufficient to make up the equivalent of one
complete course. These electives are intended to broaden his outlook
on the problems of his chosen profession, and must be approved
by the head professor of the student's group and by the Dean of the
Department. As far as is consistent with a wise election the student's
personal preferences will be observed.

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS.
Written Examinations are held at the end of each term covering
the work of that term and the results of these examinations, combined
with the student's class standing, give his Term Grade.
Regular Reports are sent out at the end of every term to the
student's parent or guardian. These state for each course followed the
term grade and the number of absences. Further comment may be
added by the Dean or the Professor, if it appears probable that such
comment would be helpful to the student. Parents are urged to examine
these reports carefully, and to exert such parental influence as
may seem needed to establish and confirm the student in habits of
industry and order.
Special Reports are sent to parents at the end of each month for
students delinquent in attendance or studiousness and for delinquents
only. When a student is making steady progress and showing due
diligence in his work only the regular reports are sent. The receipt
of a special report is evidence that, in the judgment of the Faculty,
prompt and pointed parental admonition is urgently needed.
Reexaminations are held during registration week in September.
To these reexaminations the Faculty will admit, on the recommendation
of his professor, any student of the previous session who in any
course fell below the pass mark of seventy-five per cent., but made at
least sixty-five per cent. at the regular examination. For every such
reexamination the student must pay to the Bursar on or before July
15th a fee of $5, which fee is in no case returnable. The student who
fails in any course and does not make up his deficiency on reexamination
will be required to register anew for that course and attend the
lectures and pass the regular examination, unless relieved by special
vote of the Faculty. The Dean will send to every student eligible for
reexamination a programme of the dates of the September examinations.
DEGREES.
Upon the completion of the four years course as defined in any
one of the foregoing Programmes of Study and the presentation of
an acceptable graduating thesis the Faculty will award to any student
in regular and honorable standing the appropriate Degree of Civil
Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mining Engineer,
or Chemical Engineer. In each programme will be found the Topics
of Study for the several years. The hours for lectures and laboratory
exercises will be found in the Schedule. The dates for the examinations
are given in the Examination Programme.

(i) The student who makes an average of less than 40 per cent.
on his courses at the end of any term is dropped from the rolls.
(ii) The student who makes an average of 40 per cent., or more
at the end of any term, but who makes less than 65 per cent. on each
of his courses, is on probation for the term next ensuing.
(iii) The student—already on probation—who again makes less
than 65 per cent. on each of his courses at the end of the current
term, is dropped from the rolls.
EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS.
The average annual expenses of a student who pursues the regular
course in Engineering will be:
| Outside Students. |
Virginians. | |
| University Fee | $ 40 | $ 40 |
| Department Fee (average of four years) | 75 | 30 |
| Living Expenses (for nine months) | 225 | 225 |
| Books and Drawing Materials | 20 | 20 |
| Incidental Expenses (for nine months) | 45 | 45 |
| Total for average conditions | $405 | $360 |
The Department Fee is $90 for the Freshman Year, $80 for the
Sophomore, $70 for the Junior, $60 for the Senior, and averages $75. It
entitles the student to take over again without charge any single
course of the previous year on which he may have failed. But students
who fail on two or more courses of any year are required to take them
over and pay the full fee of that year.
The University Fee of $40 entitles the student to the free use of
the Library, Gymnasium, Shops, and Laboratories; to free medical
attention; to the services of the Instructor in Physical Culture; to the
facilities of the Hospital in case of need; and covers all fees for the
regular examinations, degrees, and diplomas.
The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant
and laundry; the average is $25 a month, the minimum $18, and a
reasonable maximum $32. Books and Drawing Materials will cost
about $80 for the four year course. Incidental Expenses ought to be
kept within modest bounds; the above estimate is sufficient; large allowances
of pocket money promote idleness and attract companions
of the baser sort. No allowances are made for clothing or travelling
expenses, which vary too much to be introduced into any general estimate.
The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40); Department
Fee ($90-60); Contingent Deposit ($10); Books and Instruments
($20); and one month's Living Expenses ($32-18). The student
will need at entrance about $200.
In Mining and in Chemical Engineering there are additional
laboratory fees as noted below for the advanced courses in Analytical
and General Chemistry.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCED STANDING.
Applicants from other colleges will be admitted provisionally
to advanced standing as candidates for a degree in Engineering upon
presentation of proper certificates covering the courses for which
credit is desired. Such certificates must be filed with the Dean, and
must be acceptable both to him and to the professors in charge of the
accredited courses. The certificate must bear the official signature of
the head of the college; must specify the character and content of the
course followed by the student; must give his marks, which should
not fall below the standard seventy-five per cent. of this University;
and must recommend the student as worthy of admission to the University
of Virginia in respect of both character and scholarship. The
final validation of such a certificate is effected by the successful completion
of the courses attended in this University.
The programme of studies offered by such a candidate for his
degree in Engineering must satisfy all the requirements for that degree
as here established. He must devote at least two full sessions
to engineering studies in this University.
Credits on Practical Work will be allowed to applicants, who
have accomplished successfully courses in Drawing, Field-Work, or
Shop-work equivalent to those given in this University, or have acquired
in professional practice the training which these courses represent.
To secure credit for such work the student must make
written application to the Dean of the Department, and with this
application must file the certificate of the chief draftsman or other
officer under whom the work was done.
Applicants for admission to the Engineering Department, who are
twenty years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective
courses, must present adequate proofs of good character and of the
needful maturity and training. Such applicants are then registered as
Special Students, and are admitted without formal examination to the
privileges of the University, but not as candidates for any titled degree.
The Expenses of special students, and of all students who pursue
elective courses, are the same as those of regular students, except as
to fees for tuition. The fee for each class taken will be $25, with the
addition of the prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 for each
class in Mechanics, Engineering, and Physics; $10 for Chemistry.
For each class in Analytical Chemistry a special fee of $50 is charged
for tuition, plus $10 for apparatus and supplies. The fee for each class
in Drawing is $10.
HUMANISTIC STUDIES.
Students, who have enjoyed the benefits of sound preliminary
training in good high schools, are advised in all cases to enrich and
liberalize their professional course by the introduction of humanistic
studies.
Under the elective system of this University it is easy to plan a
schedule of work for a well prepared matriculate, which will at the
end of six years give him in addition to his professional degree the
general culture degree of Bachelor of Science or of Bachelor of Arts.
The additional courses required are two languages (elected from
French, German, and Latin), one historical science (History, or
Economics), English Literature, or Biblical History and Literature,
and one philosophical science (Logic, or Ethics, or Psychology).
The following is a sample schedule leading at the end of six years
to the two degrees of B. S. and C. E.
First Year—
Mathematics 1A, Eng. Lit. 1A, German 1A, Chemistry 1B.
Second Year—
Mathematics 2B, Eng. Lit. 2B, German 2B, French 1A
Third Year—
Physics 1B, French 2B, Logic 1B, Drawing 1.
Fourth Year—
Mechanics 1, Civ. Eng. 1, Economics 1B, Drawing 2.
Fifth Year—
Mechanics 2, Civ. Eng. 2, Geology 1, Drawing 3.
Sixth Year—
Mechanics 3, Civ. Eng. 3, Eng. Electives, Thesis.
The courses printed in italics are those added from the College.
DRAFTING ROOMS.
The drafting rooms are abundantly lighted and are provided with
solidly constructed tables with locked drawers for instruments and
materials. Each student is assigned to a table and has a drawer for
his exclusive use. The regular Drawing Classes execute each one
plate a week under the supervision of the Instructor in Drawing.
The more advanced students have such additional drawings assigned
by their respective professors as are needed for the full development
of the courses of study.
Careful attention is given to the training of the students in lettering,
in the conventional signs of mechanical drawing, in the proper
lay-out of drawings, and in neat and accurate execution. Exercises
are required also in tracing and in blue-printing, the rooms for which
are conveniently arranged and in close contiguity to the drafting
rooms. While, however, technical dexterity is demanded, the graphical
method is taught and used primarily as a powerful and indispensable
instrument of research, the thoughtful mastery of which is
essential for the instructed Engineer.
The construction and theory of the Polar Planimeter, the Slide
Rule, and the Pantograph are carefully taught, and the student is
trained in the practical use of these appliances for the rapid and accurate
production of estimates and copies from finished drawings.
SHOPS.
The Shop Equipment is throughout of the best quality, the machines
being all from good makers and of sizes ample for the purposes
of instruction. A full outfit of hand tools is maintained at all times.
Each shop is equipped for the instruction of a squad of sixteen students,
this being as large a number as one instructor can properly
direct at once. The Machine Shop is provided with four first-class
engine lathes, illustrating the practice of the best American makers;
with a planer, a shaper, two drill presses, a universal drilling machine
(Brown and Sharpe), and a universal grinder (same makers);
also with a gas forge for tempering tools, a cut-off saw for metal
rods, an emery wheel, and so on. The Wood Shop is furnished
with several small lathes, a large pattern maker's lathe, a jointer, a
planer, a saw bench for slitting and cross-cutting, a hand-saw, a jigsaw,
and a wood trimmer for pattern making. The Foundry has a
cupola furnace for working cast iron, a brass furnace, a core oven,
and all needful accessories for moulding and casting; the blast for the
cupola is furnished by a special blower, driven by a small high-speed
steam engine. The Forge Room is equipped with Buffalo down-draft
forges; and the necessary smith's tools; the draft is furnished by the
same blower, and the exhaust is operated by a fan driven also by the
engine. Shop instruction is given for its educational value. The purpose
of this Department is to train engineers, not artisans; and the
claims of the shops are not permitted to infringe on the truly vital
functions of the laboratories, the drafting rooms, and the lectures.
FIELD INSTRUMENTS.
The outfit of Field Instruments contains compasses, transits, and
levels of various approved makes; a solar transit, furnished also with
clinometers for railway topography; a plane table; a sextant; together
with an adequate supply of leveling rods, telemeter rods, signal poles,
chains, tapes, pins, and so on. For hydraulic work and hydrographic
surveys a hook gauge and a current meter are provided. All students
are instructed in the theory and adjustments of the field-instruments
and in their practical use in the field. They are also required to make
up their field-books in standard forms; to reduce their surveys and
execute all the necessary profiles, plans, and maps; and to determine
lengths, areas, and volumes both from the maps and from the original
notes. A polar planimeter is provided for facilitating such estimates
and a pantograph for making reduced copies of finished drawings.
LABORATORY WORK IN STRENGTH OF MATERIALS.
The Sinclair Laboratory for work in Strength of Materials.—This
was founded on the original donation of Mrs. John Sinclair, of New
York City, as a memorial to her late husband. The collection has
since been considerably enlarged. It contains Richle and Olsen
machines, each of 100,000 pounds capacity, arranged for tensile, compressive,
and transverse tests; an Olsen torsion machine of 50,000
inch pounds capacity; an Olsen compression machine of 40,000
pounds capacity; a Ewing tester for the elasticity of rods; hand
machines for testing rods and wires under pull and small specimens of
timber and cast iron under transverse loads; Fairbanks and Olsen
cement testers of 1,000 pounds capacity each; apparatus for torsional
tests on both long wires and short wires; together with the necessary
accessory apparatus for utilizing these machines.
LABORATORY AND FIELD-WORK IN HYDRAULICS.
The equipment for this work comprises a steel tank for weir experiments
with adjustable bronze notches; a hook gauge for accurate
measurement of surface levels; a cast-iron stand pipe for experiments
on efflux with adjustable bronze orifices; a series of pipes with bends,
elbows, and tees for measuring pipe friction; and the proper manometers
and gauges for reading pressures. For the field-work the outfit
of field instruments has been enlarged by a current meter of modern
construction and a set of hollow copper ball floats for direct stream
velocity measurements.
ENGINE AND BOILER TESTS.
The Steam Engine Tests are made on the high-speed Ball engine,
which operates the shops. This motor has been specially equipped
Sweet separator; humidity determinations are thus made twice—
once by a separating calorimeter before the steam enters the separator,
and again by a throttling calorimeter as it enters the cylinder.
It is fitted with proper indicators, and permanent indicator rigging
so that at any time cards may be taken and the indicated horsepower
determined. In like manner a rope friction brake is so arranged
that it may be at once applied for the determination of brake
horse-power. Connections are so made with a Wheeler surface condenser
that the engine may at will be operated either condensing or
non-condensing. Provisions are made for measuring the temperatures
and the amounts of the condensation water and the condensed
steam produced during the run. With these data a complete heat
balance of the experimental run is attainable.
For Steam Boiler Tests the boilers of the University heating and
lighting plant are available. The department is equipped with the
necessary apparatus—thermometers, gauges, steam calorimeters, fuel
calorimeters, gas analyzers, scales, tanks, and so on. Students of
Mechanical Engineering are taught by practical lessons in the boiler
room the standard methods for boiler trials, and the class makes each
session at least one complete trial.
The Gas Engine Tests are made on an Otto machine of 15 I. H.
P. and 12 B. H. P. This is also provided with its friction brake, indicator
rigging, and indicator. The cooling water is run in from calibrated
tanks and provision is made for observing not only its amount
but the initial and final temperatures. Gasoline or alcohol is used
as fuel, and is run in from a graduated wrought-iron bottle, so that
the amount consumed is determined. The heating power is obtained
by an independent test with a Rosenhain calorimeter. Samples of the
burnt gases are drawn from the exhaust pipe and analyzed in an
Orsat gas apparatus. With these data, and the observed numbers
of revolutions and explosions, the heat balance is worked out.
The Refrigerating Tests are made on a Remington Ice Machine
of one ton capacity. This is an ammonia compression machine driven
by an electric motor. Instead of brine, plain water is used, heated
by a steam jet to 100 degrees and then cooled down to 40 degrees by
the machine. A run is first made with the pipes empty in order to determine
the friction horse power. The ammonia is then turned on
and the run is made under load. In both cases the power consumed
is measured both by watt-meter and by am-meter and volt-meter
readings. The tanks are accurately calibrated and careful measurements
of the temperature are made through the run. Indicator cards
are also taken from the ammonia cylinders and the number of revolutions
is registered by counter. With these data the mechanical and
thermodynamic performance of the machine are figured out.
LABORATORY WORK IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The Scott Laboratory of Electrical Engineering.—This laboratory
was equipped and endowed by Mrs. Frances Branch Scott, of Richmond,
Va., as a memorial to her late son, an alumnus of this University.
In addition to full sets of electric meters with the appliances
for testing and calibrating them, galvanometers of the best modern
types, standard cells and resistances, standard condensers, and all
other necessary apparatus for minor tests, it contains numerous
pieces of the very best construction. Such are the Wolff potentiometer,
the Siemens and Halske Double Bridge, the Magnetic Induction
apparatus, the Duddell Oscillograph, the Station Photometer,
and so on. It contains also a number of direct current generators
and motors, a two-phase alternator, induction motors of two and
three phases, several pairs of transformers, and all the apparatus
used in testing such machines.
ROAD MATERIAL TESTS.
In the Road Material Tests the machines used are mainly those
devised by Dr. Logan Waller Page, director of the United States
office of public roads. For measuring the strength of the stone cylindrical
samples are cut out with a diamond drill and tested under impact
and in the 40,000-pound compression machine. The resistance
to abrasion is measured on fragments of the stone, rotated in heavy
cast iron cylinders mounted on their diagonals. The binding power
of the dust is measured by impact tests on cylindrical briquettes
formed under heavy hydraulic pressure. The dust for these briquettes
is produced in a ball mill fed with fine stone broken in a
small crusher. This part of the testing outfit has been installed
largely by the generous aid of Dr. Page. Useful experimental researches
on the road-building rocks and gravels of Virginia are carried
out with it each year.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings devoted wholly or in part to the work of the Department
of Engineering are the following:
The Mechanical Laboratory is the main seat of the instruction in
technical studies. It is 180 by 70 feet and contains on the main floor
the Dean's office and the offices of the three adjunct-professors; the
main lecture room; the laboratory of electrical engineering; and the
drafting room for the First and Second Year students. Above are a
smaller drafting room for advanced students, and blueprint and photographic
rooms. Below on the ground floor are another class room,
the reading room, the testing laboratory, the wood shop, the metal
shop, apparatus and store rooms, the tool room, and the students'
lavatory.
The Power House is a single-story building 110 by 40 feet. In
addition to the University boiler plant and the electric lighting plant
this contains the foundry and the forge room. The boiler plant consists
of two horizontal return-tubular boilers, each of 140 horse
power. The lighting plant consists of three electric generators directly
connected to high speed engines, the respective capacities being
25, 50, and 75 kilowatts. The whole plant is available for purposes of
instruction, study and experiment.
The Laboratory of General Chemistry, situated at the southern
end of West Range, is one of the older buildings recently remodelled
and fitted up for the work of instruction in undergraduate chemistry.
It is furnished with all the necessary apparatus and supplies, and is
comfortably heated and lighted. The engineering students, who are
taught in a separate section, have three hours in lecture each week
and six hours in the laboratory. The work is specially adapted to
their needs. The room used for work in Organic Chemistry is at the
northern end of West Range.
The Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry is 150 by 60 feet. It is
a single-story building, containing the lecture room, the laboratory of
analytical chemistry, the rooms for assaying, the balance rooms, the
offices and private laboratories of the professor of Industrial and
Analytical Chemistry, and a number of store rooms. These contain
not only the usual laboratory supplies, but an extensive collection of
specimens, illustrating very completely the processes and products
of industrial chemistry, and of especial interest to engineering students.
The Geological Museum is 120 by 50 feet. It is a three-story
building. The main floor is devoted to the very extensive geological
collection of specimens, charts, relief maps, and so on. The gallery
above contains an equally good collection of minerals and numerous
models of typical crystallographic forms. The upper floor contains
the lecture rooms and the new laboratories of Economic Geology.
In the basement are stored subsidiary collections and new material
accumulated in more recent geological surveys.
The Physical Laboratory faces the Mechanical Laboratory on
the opposite side of the quadrangle, and has almost the same proportions.
The main floor contains the lecture room, the professors'
offices, the laboratory of experimental physics, and the store room for
the very large collection of apparatus used in the lectures. On the
ground floor is the laboratory of theoretical electricity, the storage
battery room, a well equipped shop for the repair and manufacture of
apparatus, and numerous smaller rooms for the work of graduate

The Department of Agriculture is founded on the gift of one
hundred thousand dollars by the late Samuel Miller, of Lynchburg,
Va.; this sum having been given to establish a fund, the income of
which should be applied, as far as practicable, to the maintenance
of experiments in agriculture, training in the art of farming, and instruction
in those sciences which underlie that art, as well as in their
practical relations thereto. Since the income in question is manifestly
inadequate to provide for all these important ends in an efficient
manner, it has become necessary for those directly charged with its
administration to decide how it can be most usefully applied within
the limits indicated.
Agriculture is the art of cultivating the soil with a view to profit;
as usually applied, the term implies the successful raising and marketing
of crops of plants or of animals, or of their products. Its theory
is based directly upon the sciences of Chemistry, Botany, and Zoölogy;
and also, but less directly, upon the allied sciences of Physics,
Mechanics, and Geology. Education adapted to the prosecution of
this vocation calls, therefore, at the outset, for sound and thorough
instruction in these sciences; and subsequently for the discussion of
its principles and processes as based upon them. The experience of
some years has shown conclusively that neither agricultural experimentation
nor instruction in the routine of farm work can be profitably
of these means in accordance with the needs or expressed desires
of students who come to the University for the purpose of
entering this Department.
It seems wisest, therefore, as well as most consonant with the
other functions of the University, to apply the income of this fund
to the enlargement, as far as possible, of the opportunities here
afforded to those who desire to acquire a knowledge of the sciences
on which the art of agriculture is based, and of which it is the practical
application; to understand their theoretical principles, as well
as their economic relations; and to be capable of following their
progress in all its bearings. Instruction is therefore offered in this
Department to all who desire such training in the descriptive and experimental
sciences as this would imply, together with a knowledge
of the closely affiliated mathematical sciences, and of the modern
languages of immediate importance to the scientific student; in accordance
with the following plan:
Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
General Entrance Examination, or admission to the University by
certificate or diploma, as stated in a preceding portion of this catalogue.
Based upon this preparation the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Agriculture will be conferred upon students who satisfactorily complete
one B course each in Physics, General Chemistry, Botany,
Zoölogy, Geology, and Analytical Chemistry; together with an advanced
course in each of any three of the Schools represented by
these courses; of one B course (to be elected by the student) from
the group of mathematical sciences, viz., Pure Mathematics, Applied
Mathematics, or Astronomy; and of the B courses in French
and German. The B courses are the same as, or the equivalent of,
the B courses described in a previous portion of this catalogue; the
advanced courses in the various scientific Schools have also been
previously described.
Agricultural Chemistry.—There is offered in connection with the
graduating course in Analytical Chemistry a course of lectures in
Agricultural Chemistry, including a discussion of the chemical and
physical properties of the atmosphere, of soils, and of plants; the
chemistry of the processes of vegetable life so far as they are related
to Agriculture; the chemical composition and preparation of
manures; the chemistry of stock feeding, and of fungicides and insecticides.
This course is open without charge to students who have
farmers who are not matriculated students.
For Reference: Johnston's elements of Agricultural Chemistry; 17th Edition; London,
1894.
Practical Biology and Agriculture.—For courses in Practical
Biology and Agriculture see the Miller School of Biology, p. 137.
In this Department, as in the College, the order in which studies
shall be taken is left largely to the discretion of the student (subject
to the restriction that not more than three classes may be undertaken
in any one session without the consent of the Faculty): the following
is, however, suggested as a convenient arrangement of a four
years' course for this degree; and as one of several combinations of
subjects possible under the requirements above stated.
First Year:
Geology 1B; Physics 1B; Botany 1B;
Second Year:
French 2B; General Chemistry 1B; Zoölogy 1B;
Third Year:
German 2B; Analytical Chemistry 1B; Botany and Agriculture;
Fourth Year:
[73] Mechanics 1B; [74] Analyt. and Agri. Chem. 2; [75] Zoölogy and Agriculture.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the University of a student in the Department
of Agriculture may be estimated at from $290 a year upwards,
according to the mode of living. A fuller statement of
expenses, including the conditions under which Virginia students are
entitled to free tuition, may be found in a preceding section. (See
pp. 94-101.
MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS.
A scholarship is awarded at the end of each session to the candidate
courses in Zoölogy, Chemistry, and Physics with the highest aggregate
of marks. The scholarship is tenable for the following two years.
The emoluments consist of $250 a session, with free tuition in the
Schools of the Department of Agriculture. The holder of a Miller
Scholarship is required to elect at least one-third of his work in
Biology and Agriculture, Analytical Chemistry, or Applied Mathematics,
and the remainder from any courses offered in the Academic
Schools: he is also required to act as a student assistant in the
Biological Laboratory. The tenure of the scholarship depends upon
the good conduct and studious diligence of the scholar, the Faculty
being authorized to withdraw its benefits from any student who
does not avail himself of the opportunities for study which it is intended
to secure. Candidacy must be announced at the beginning of
the session.
Substitution may be made of either Pure Mathematics 2B or Astronomy 1B for
Mechanics: each of these three courses requires the previous completion of Mathematics
1A.
Substitution may be made for either of these advanced courses by advanced
courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Geology.
Substitution may be made for either of these advanced courses by advanced
courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Geology.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER SESSION OF 1910.
THE SESSION will begin Friday, June 17th, and close Saturday,
July 30th, 1910. Friday, June 17th, will be devoted to the registration
of students. All students should register on this day. The entire faculty
of the Summer School will be in the room adjoining the Registrar's office
from 8.45 to 1.30 for counsel, on June 17th. Students should consult
freely with members of the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing
courses. No certificate will be granted to students who fail to register
before Wednesday, June 22nd.
FEES.—No Registration fee will be charged. The tuition fee will
consist of $5.00 for each course taken, except in the School of
Methods, where a fee of $5.00 admits the applicant to all courses.
The Department of Public Instruction of Virginia has provided by
donation that Virginia teachers shall be entitled to all of the courses
in the School of Methods for a single fee of $3.00. Further exception
is made to the $5.00 fee in certain other courses where a special fee
is mentioned in connection with the outlined course in the Summer
School Catalogue. Before being enrolled in a class each student is
required to register and to pay all fees. No reduction of fee will be
charged in all courses in which materials are required to be used by
students or demonstrators.
CREDIT.—Certificates will be granted in each course in the
University Department to those students who attain a grade of
75%. This grade will be the average of the recitation and examination
marks. No student will be allowed to take more than three
courses without the permission of the Director. This regulation does
not apply to the School of Methods.
As a rule, students wishing University credit should not attempt
more than two courses in one summer: they must receive in all cases
permission to take more than three. In registering, students should
state what credits they desire, as arrangements for credit must be
made before taking the course.
1. Professional Certificate.—The following regulations with reference
to credits towards the Professional Teaching Certificate in
Virginia have been passed by the Board of Examiners: "Resolved,
That those teachers holding first grade 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.
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 some the University Summer School instructors are appointed to
hold State examinations. In others arrangements may be made upon
application of the teachers from those States. All persons wishing to
arrange for Summer School 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 the
courses in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations
in the same subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are
equivalent to those required for entrance to the University of Virginia,
and provided, that the certificates of courses completed be approved
by the University of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion
of summer courses in lieu of A courses in the University of Virginia,
provided that such summer courses be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned as the full equivalent in character
and scope of the corresponding A courses in the University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions
of B courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College,
the Faculty Committee on Degrees, and the professor in charge of
the courses for which credit is desired certify in writing that the summer
courses completed are equivalent in character and scope to that
portion of the regular sessional work for which credit is desired.
(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75%) required for their successful completion shall be the same
as those of the sessional examinations.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives more demands for teachers than it is ever able to fill.
This Committee will be glad to have well qualified teachers who are
in attendance upon the Summer School leave their applications with
the Director, who is a member of the Committee.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and rooms may be had at prices
ranging from $3.50 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations, the average being $4.50 per
week. Many of the boarding-houses are situated on, or immediately
adjoining the University grounds. A limited number of students may,
upon application, procure rooms in the University buildings at a
The Commons, the handsome new dining hall on the University
grounds, is now at the service of Summer School students. The
cost of board in the dining hall will not exceed $4.00 per week. Applications
should be made as early as possible.
REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.—All students coming to the
Summer School from points south and west of Virginia should apply
several weeks in advance to their local agents for reduced rates. In
case the agent has received no instructions for selling reduced rate
tickets to Charlottesville, Virginia, the Director of the Summer School
should be written to promptly for information.
