BIOLOGY.
Professor Kepner.
Professor Tuttle.
The summer work in Biology at present offered makes provision
for the study of each of the great divisions of the organic world:
separate courses being offered in Botany and in Zoology. The object
in either case is, first of all, to familiarize the student with the
methods involved in the systematic study of the organization of
plants or of animals; and to give such opportunity for individual
work by such methods on the part of each student, under the
guidance of the teacher, as will enable him or her to carry on similar
work elsewhere independently with confidence and accuracy. A second
object of equal importance is to give the student a clear conception
of the vegetable or the animal kingdom (as the case may be)
as a whole, in such manner as to impart a clear idea of the relations
and significance of any particular group that may be at any time
the subject of special interest. These ends are sought in each case
by the presentation in the laboratory of a series of representative
forms, each of which is in turn made the subject of careful study
as to its organization, activities, and life-history: and by accompanying
lectures, in which the results of the work in the laboratory are
explained and supplemented, and the relations of the organism in
question to the other forms studied and discussed. Two courses will
be offered in both zoology and botany, a lecture course and a
laboratory course, which may be taken separately but which in each
case will be more profitably taken together. The examinations at
the close of the session in either botany or zoology will cover both
the lectures and the laboratory work.
The Biological Laboratory is admirably equipped with simple and
staining, and mounting sections for microscopic study, etc.; and
while the prime object of the courses given will be to teach students
to observe accurately, to record their observations with precision,
and to make correct inferences therefrom, care will be taken to
make them familiar in large measure with the principles of microscopal
and other biological technic.
1. Systematic Botany.—This course is intended to afford to teachers
and others an opportunity to become familiar with the forms of plant
life least generally understood, or most likely to offer discouraging
difficulties to the beginner who undertakes them independently and
unaided. It will consist of synoptical lectures upon the vegetable
kingdom and will be devoted chiefly to the study of seedless (or
"flowerless") plants, supplemented by a brief study of the organization
and life-history of representatives of the seed (or "flowering")
plants. It should be taken in connection with the laboratory course
in botany.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Tuttle. Cabell Hall, Room 12.
2. Structural Botany.—This course will be a laboratory course
parallel with the lecture course above outlined. The following topics
will be studied: Use of the microscope and simple microscopic
technic; fern-like plants—a fern, an equisetum, a clubmoss; moss-like
plants—a liverwort, a true moss; plant-cells—structure, growth,
modification, the methods of cell-division; algæ—a representative
brown alga, a red alga, green algæ, especially the more abundant
water forms; fungi—a mushroom, a cupfungus, the more abundant
parasitic fungi, moulds and mildews, yeast; lichens; fission plants—
the fission algæ, the bacteria.
Daily, from 9:30 to 12:30. Professor Tuttle. Cabell Hall, Room 12.
3. Systematic Zoology.—The object of this course is first, to
indicate the relationships that exist between the various types that
compose the animal kingdom; and second, to furnish teachers and
others such a knowledge of the chief types of invertebrates and of
certain types of vertebrates as is necessary to form a basis for nature
study and the teaching of elementary physiology. The laboratory
course in zoology should be taken in connection with this lecture
course.
Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor Kepner. Cabell Hall, Room 12.
4. Structural Zoology.—This course is a laboratory course parallel
with the course above outlined. The following topics will be studied:
Use of the microscope and simple microscopical technic; protozoa—
amœba, paramecium; coelenterates—hydra and others; flatworms;
threadworms, animal parasitism; annelids—earthworm, nereis; mollusks—mussel
or clam; echinoderms—starfish, sea urchin; crustacea—
"water fleas," shrimps, crayfish, crabs; insects—grasshopper, beetle,
bee; vertebrates—amphioxus, dogfish, frog; fundamental tissues of
animals—the animal cell, cell-division, maturation of the ovum, segmentation
and development.
Daily, from 3:30 to 6:30. Professor Kepner. Cabell Hall, Room 12.
Credit.—A student who passes the examinations on the two courses
in Botany and the two courses in Zoology (either in the same or in
consecutive sessions of the Summer Session) will, on complying with
the requirements for admission to the University of Virginia, be
entitled to credit for Course 1 B in General Biology, or for the
requirements in that subject for admission to the Department of
Medicine. A student who passes the examination on the two courses
equivalent portion of Course 1 B in Botany. Subject to the same
conditions, a student who passes the examination on the two courses
in Zoology only will be entitled to credit for a corresponding portion of Course 1 B in Zoology.
FIELD BOTANY.
Professor Lambeth.
The outline projected is intended to give to the student a systematized
course of study, making it an easy and agreeable task for him
to identify the various plant families in his locality and acquire methods
of study by which children may identify and become familiar with
the individual plants of their neighborhood.
At the beginning of the course attention will be given to plant
morphology and physiology, but the course will be of a practical character
and performed in the fields and forests near the University
where the plant life is diversified and rich in both indigenous and imported
varieties, furnishing exceptional opportunities for the purpose.
During the term each student will, under direction, collect, identify,
mount, and preserve, characteristic types, so that he will have
commenced the accumulation of an herbarium for use in his teaching,
and to which he can continually add specimens from his own locality
or that in which he is teaching.
The results of the work contemplated would be of great value to
the State, not only for its educational influence, but also for its economic
importance as well. It would be fair to assume that with the
teachers followed by their pupils working out the plants of all parts
of the Commonwealth, it would only be a brief period until, from the
collaboration of these collections, a complete and systematic symposium
of Virginia's Flora would be available, and the information now
limited to a few, and possessing only scientific importance, would become
common knowledge and acquire economic value, influencing agriculture,
horticulture, and many important manufacturing industries.
The hours for daily excursions will be arranged as far as possible
so that they will not conflict with other courses taught in the Summer
School.
Daily, from 5:30 to 6:30. Rotunda, Room 3.
Text-Book.—Dana's Manual of Botany.
CHEMISTRY.
Professor Bird.
Mr. Merz.
Instruction in chemistry is offered to high school teachers and such
others as are indicated below. The ample facilities of the School of
Chemistry of the University are available and its laboratory and
library will be used.

designed to meet the needs of those who may have to give instruction
in chemistry in high schools. A daily discussion of the elementary
principles of the science will be held and simple lecture-table
demonstrations made.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Bird. Wst Range Laboratory.
2. Laboratory Course for High School Teachers.—The sole object
of this course is to train each member of the class to give laboratory
instruction in secondary schools; the situation that is likely to
confront each one will be considered individually. The following
topics will be discussed: The particular branches of the subject which
should be taught high school students; the apparatus and chemicals
necessary and their cost; how to equip a laboratory and how to
make the best use of facilities likely to be found in a high school.
It is planned to have the teacher perform, under the eye of the
instructor, all experiments that the pupils should perform and such
demonstration experiments as seem desirable. Special attention will
be given to the fitting up of apparatus at a nominal cost, and the
apparatus thus assembled may be taken away for future use. The
essential pedagogic points of the experiments will be discussed fully
and an effort made to show the teacher how to instill life into the
laboratory work of the pupil, by pointing out its practical bearing.
The chief emphasis will be laid upon the essential phenomena and
laws of matter changes, especially those of daily occurrence.
Daily, from 9:30 to 11:30. Professor Bird. West Range Laboratory.
3. The Principles of General Chemistry.—This course is offered
especially for those desiring University credit in general chemistry
or who are preparing to enter some medical school requiring chemistry
for entrance. It is essentially a quiz class and will deal mainly
with the more important phenomena of inorganic chemistry and
the fundamental laws of chemical science.

Range Laboratory.
4. Laboratory Course.—The facilities of the laboratory and library
are offered to those who wish to do special work in general or
analytical chemistry. The instruction in this course will be such as
to meet the needs of the following groups of students: Those who desire
experience in the analytical methods used in a particular line they
may seek to enter; those who contemplate taking a civil service examination
in chemistry and who wish additional laboratory instruction;
those who need additional laboratory experience in order to meet the
entrance requirements of professional schools; those who desire
to apply for University credit.
Daily, hours to be arranged. Professor Bird and Mr. Merz. West
Range Laboratory.

chemistry will be given to any one who complies with the following
requirements: The conditions set forth on pages 16 and 17 must be
fulfilled; Courses 3 and 4 above must be completed satisfactorily
and not less than one hundred and fifty hours devoted to these two
courses; an examination equivalent to that of the regular session
must be passed. Credit for one or two terms of chemistry 1 B
outlined in the University catalogue may be attained. The entrance
requirements in chemistry of the Medical School may be fulfilled.
CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY.
Professor Fitzhugh.
Professor Montgomery.
Mr. McLemore.
It will be the aim of the courses in Classical Philology to open to
all teachers and students the advantages of University instruction in that
subject. Courses 1-4 are especially intended to illustrate the teaching
of Latin in the secondary schools. Courses 5-7 are intended to open
to teachers and summer students the more important fields of
college Latin. The desirability of a knowledge of Greek and of at
least one Romanic language is specially commended to all who wish
to reap the full cultural and scientific benefit of the college courses
in Latin. Greece is the fountain head of European culture, and Rome
its universalizer and transmitter to the modern world. The
instruction will aim to exhibit these relations and thus to emphasize
the unity and continuity of all human culture. Course 1 is
preparatory. Thereafter the work is organized in all courses as
follows: The Latin language—systematic study of Latin grammar,
with oral and written exercises in prose composition; Latin literature—systematic
study of the Latin authors, as nearly as possible in
culture-historical sequence; Roman life—systematic study of Roman
culture-history in English, in conjunction with the reading of the
authors.

schools and academies, for college preparation and for students of
Latin at large. It involves the Roman pronunciation; careful study
of accent and quantity; thorough drill in declensions and conjugations;
the fundamental principles of the syntax of the cases, tenses,
and moods, the accusative and infinitive, relative and conditional
sentences, uses of the subjunctive; and the main laws of indirect
discourse. These grammatical principles will be illustrated in systematic
exercises in translating easy detached sentences into Latin;
translation into English of easy Latin prose preparatory to Caesar
will also be required.

valuation of studies in building up a practical course of study for high
schools of various grades. The place and importance of each subject
in the curriculum will be discussed. The relative worth of the topics
within the several subjects will be presented. Principles of special
method will be developed and applied to certain high school subjects.
Students will be expected to specialize in the methods of teaching the
subjects with which they are most familiar.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Hand and Professor Payne.
Cabell Hall, Room 3.
5. Principles of Education.—These principles will be considered
from the genetic point of view and in relation to the ends and
governing conscious development and the part of interest and will
in such development, the characteristics manifested at different ages
will be described in such a way as to show the phases of the self-conscious,
self-directive personality that are emerging during each
period. In the light of the facts thus revealed, the special aims
and methods to be made prominent respectively in primary schools,
grammar schools, high schools and colleges will be pointed out.
If time admits, the problem of the economy and conservation of
mental energy at different stages will be considered. In order to get
the point of view of the course, students will find it of advantage
before taking it, to read Kirkpatrick's Genetic Psychology. Some
required and much optional reading will be suggested and abundant
opportunities will be given for questions and discussion in class, in
order that the course may be of definite and practical value to teachers.

ENGLISH.
Professor McBryde.
Professor Reade.
Professor Smith.
Professor Smith.
Professor Wauchope.
The courses in English are designed to meet the needs of the following
groups of students: Present or prospective high school teachers;
professional or technical students who have entered upon their
professional courses and found that their training in English is so
profession; students preparing for college entrance examinations;
students conditioned on their entrance examinations or in their college
courses at other institutions; college professors and instructors who
may be especially interested in methods of teaching English.
1. English Grammar and Composition.—This course is designed
especially for high school teachers. No subjects in the high school
curriculum are more unsettled than those of grammar and composition,
both being in a transitive stage. The multiplication of high
schools in the South has called attention afresh to the importance of
English but there is still little uniformity in methods of teaching it.
An attempt will be made to suggest standards of instruction in
grammar and composition.
Text-Books.—Meiklejohn's English Grammar; Joyne's Studies in
English Syntax.
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Wauchope. Cabell Hall,
Room 4.
2. Rhetoric and Composition.—The purpose of this course will
be three-fold: First, to master as far as possible the subject matter
of the text-book, and in doing this to emphasize particularly accuracy
and correctness in writing; second, to indicate the best methods of
teaching this subject in the schools, so as to interest the pupils and
induce them to take advantage of local material and opportunities;
third, to encourage among teachers and pupils alike good reading
both for its own sake and specifically for the sake of mental discipline.
There will be daily original exercises.
Text-Books.—Thomas and Howe's Composition and Rhetoric (Longman's
Green and Co.) and Woodley's Handbook of Composition (Heath).
Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor McBryde. Cabell Hall,
Room 4.
3. English Literature.—This course is a general survey of the
history of English literature from Milton and Tennyson. Special
emphasis will be laid upon the writings that are adapted to high
school work and more specifically college entrance requirements. An
attempt will be made to give suggestions for future work in all the
periods.
Text-Books.—Any edition of the classics mentioned above; any
good history of English literature (preferably Pancoast's) and
Manly's English Poetry.
Daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Charles Alphonso Smith and
Professor William Cunningham Smith. Cabell Hall, Room 4.
4. American Literature.—This course is a study of the lives and
writings of the principal authors from Washington Irving to Sidney
Lanier. It will consider the various aspects of American life as
they have found expression in literature. Special attention will be
given to the literature of New England and of the South.
Text-Books.—Pancoast's Introduction to American Literature and
Page's Chief American Poets (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.).
Daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Professor Charles Alphonso Smith and
Professor William Cunningham Smith. Cabell Hall, Room 4.
5. Southern Literature.—This course is intended for those who
have graduated at some standard college. It will be a general survey
of intellectual and social conditions in the South before and since the
Civil War, as these have hindered or promoted Southern literature.
of the writers since the War. Students will be required to do
research work in neglected fields of literary history, such as the
history of Southern magazines, the development of short stories,
and dialect as an element in literature.
Text-Books.—Trent's Southern Writers; Baskerville's Southern
Writers, Vol. 1.
Daily, 10:30 to 11:30. Cabell Hall, Room 4.
6. Shakespeare.—This course is intended for graduate students
and is a short critical study of the development of Shakespeare's
mind and art. Lectures will be given on the following four plays
representing his work at different periods: King Henry IV, Part 1;
As You Like It; Hamlet; Winter's Tale. About ten other plays will
be read rapidly as parallel.
Text-Book.—Arden Edition of plays given above (D. C. Heath).
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Wauchope. Cabell Hall,
Room 4.
7. Expression.—In view of the larger requirements of the English
course of study of today, the need of thorough training in the Art
of Expression becomes a matter of vital interest to teachers of
literature, for it is only through a knowledge of this art that the best
results can be obtained. Two things should be required of teachers
of English: That they should be free from the common faults of
speech; that they should possess the power of sympathetic interpretation.
To these two ends the work of this department is
addressed.
Instruction in Elocution is twofold in its nature; on its negative
side, it aims to correct faults which would detract from an otherwise
good rendition of the masterpieces of literature; while on its positive
side it endeavors to bring out individual talent and to inspire
such sympathy with the text as may result in a simple, natural and
effective reading. Above all things, the aim of any course in public
speaking should be to develop the personality of the student, not to
make him a mere imitator. The hour's lesson will be divided into
two parts. There will be first a lecture on some phase of the subject
(with illustrative readings), which will be followed by individual and
class exercises bearing upon the matter under discussion. Assignments
will be made each day of selections to be studied which will
be read or recited by members of the class. This will be followed by
criticism from the instructor. In the course proposed it is the intention
of the instructor to give the students such things as may be
of practical value to them, not to burden them with mere rules and
theory. It need hardly be pointed out that this course is not intended
for teachers of literature only. Anyone who expects in his life work
to make large use of the voice will find the course helpful. Students
who intend to take the work in American and English Literature
are especially urged to avail themselves of the opportunities afforded
by this course. The lectures will deal with such subjects as thought-reading,
emphasis, breaking, articulation, phonetics, expression, reading
of poetry, quality, pitch, force, time, the tunes of speech, gesture,
dialogue, dramatic reading, and impersonation. Members of the class
are requested to provide themselves with note-books.
Text-Book.—Shoemaker's Practical Elocution. The following are
recommended for reference: Murdoch-Russell's Vocal Culture; Kofler's
Art of Breathing; Lanier's Science of English Verse.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Reade. Rotunda, Room 4.
Credit.—Any student who fulfills the conditions set forth on pages
16 and 17 and who completes successfully the first four courses in
English outlined above, will be credited with Course A in English
Literature in the regular session. Those who have completed the
first six courses may arrange for relative credit with the professor
of English at the University of Virginia. Due credit will be given
to regularly registered students in the M. A. course for all plays
successfully completed in class work and examination in Course 6,
the Shakespeare Course.
