Required for Enrolment in 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 fulfilling these conditions will be registered as a
graduate student if he is pursuing one or more graduate courses.
Should he desire not only to enter this department, but also to
become a candidate for the Master's or Doctor's degree, he should
promptly secure from the Registrar of the University a blank form
of application, which, when properly filled out, should be mailed to
the Dean of this department, together with a catalogue of the institution
from which the candidate received his baccalaureate degree.
In case that institution has (1) a faculty of at least six professors
giving their full time to college or university work; if it has (2)
entrance requirements equal to those of this university; and if it has
(3) a course of four full years in liberal arts and sciences; such candidate
such as the Committee on Rules and Courses or the professors
in charge may consider necessary for the successful prosecution of
the graduate courses elected for the higher degree. If, however, the
institution in question does not meet the three conditions mentioned
above, such candidate will be considered individually by the Committee
on Rules and Courses, which will note especially his deficiencies,
for the purpose of prescribing such courses as will supply them.
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, which
means that they must be selected, for example, from such kindred
groups of subjects as languages and literature, or mathematics and
natural science, or history, economics and philosophy, or philosophy,
education and biology, etc. 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. Nor shall any student take the Master's degree until at
least one year after the prerequisite Bachelor's degree has been conferred,
except with the special consent of the academic faculty.
A description of the courses open to candidates 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. 135-179. None of these courses indicated by the letter "C" will
be counted for the M. A. degree unless preceded by undergraduate
work of "B" grade amounting to at least six session-hours in the
same subject, or (in case only one three-session-hour course is offered
in that subject) by one B course in that subject and another B
by the professor in charge of the "C" course in question.
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.
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. 182) 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 substituted
the letters "B. S." for "B. A.," and the letters "M. S." for
"M. A.," wherever "B. A." and "M. A.," respectively occur in the statement
(p. 190) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.
The degree of Master of Science will also be conferred upon
the holder of the vocational degree of Bachelor of Science upon
conditions similar to those required of the holder of the cultural degree;
provided that the graduate courses pursued by the candidate
shall be chiefly those in continuation of the principal subject of his
work for the Bachelor's degree, and shall be chosen with the approval
of the professor or professors concerned; and provided also that the
name of this principal subject shall be inscribed upon his diploma.
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 (see p. 191), 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 to be noted, however, that no
"C" course can be counted for the Ph. D. degree unless preceded by
undergraduate work of "B" grade amounting to at least six session-hours
in the same subject, or (in case only one three-session-hour
course is offered in that subject), by one "B" course in it and another
approved by the professor in charge of the "C" course in question.
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 courses B1 and B2 in either or both of the languages
at this university shall be considered as having the requisite
knowledge of either or both of them, as the case may be.
Graduate work done in other universities may be accepted in lieu
of resident work done here, provided sufficient evidence is furnished
by examination, written or oral, or both, that such work has been of
a grade similar to that required here, and has been satisfactorily performed,
and provided also that, while it shall be possible for a candidate
to get credit in this way for the whole of his secondary minor
subject, every candidate must take here at least one advanced course
in his primary minor, and at least one year's work in his major subject.
It is also provided that a candidate who is a professor, in charge
of the subject selected by him as major, in a chartered college or
university, 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 candidates 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
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.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses at the university for a Virginia student
in the Department of Graduate Studies may be estimated at from
$220 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. 107-108.
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.

of cell-organization and cell life in both plants and animals;
this is followed by a comparative study of the elements of structure
and their embryological development in the lower and the higher animals,
or in a similar series of plant forms; the work of each student is
individually assigned in great measure. It includes practice in the
more advanced methods of technic, and a critical discussion of the
microscope and its intelligent use, as means to the ends in view.
It is accompanied by the consideration of the fundamental laws
of General Biology as founded upon cytological study. Hours by
assignment; the number is not limited.
Opportunity will be afforded to individual students for further
advanced work chiefly along the lines of this course.

Primarily for Graduates.
Latin D1: Course C1 or Course C2 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 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 (Johnston, supplemented by Thompson),
epigraphy (Lindsay, supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat, numismatics
(Gnecchi, supplemented by Hill), topography and remains
(Platner, Petersen, Huelsen, 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, Wissowa,
Preller-Jordan, Springer-Michaelis and Winter, Schanz, Windelband,
Sandys).
Friday, Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh,
Adjunct Professor McLemore.
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.

Group, and the classic methods of integration are compared with
those which flow from the Theory of Continuous Groups. A similar
method is adopted in the study of the Linear Partial Differential
Equation of the First Order. As far as the time admits, the theories
of integration of the Complete System, as well as those of
the General Partial Differential Equation of the First and Second
Orders, will be discussed. Hours by appointment. Professor Page.
[Only one of the Courses D1 and D2 will be offered in 1913-14.]
Mathematics D3: A Course in the Theory of Functions: Course
C1 prerequisite.—In this class is offered to advanced students a course
in Mathematical Analysis. The treatment of the subject is arranged
under three heads, as follows:

to which they are subject are studied after the methods of
Dedekind and Tannery, Cantor and Weierstrass, as introductory to
the study of functions.
The study of the Theory of Functions of a Real Variable, including
series, products, and continued fractions.
The General Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable is

wish to know something of the history of thought and the influence
which philosophical ideas have exerted in the development of civilization.
The lectures will give a general account of philosophical
speculation from its beginnings among the Greeks to the present
time. The endeavor will be made to present the various philosophical
systems in their relation to the science and general civilization
of the ages to which they belong, and to estimate their social

of the social relations of the self, and the influence which determine
feeling and action in the individual as a member of the group, e. g.,
the sentiments of religious, political, and social crowds. The attempt
is made to approach social facts from the mental side. The study of
social consciousness, as involved in the genesis and growth of social
institutions; the psychology of education; the psychology of religion;
and the evolution of social consciousness will engage the attention
in this course. Reading of texts, lectures, discussions, and reports.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 9-10. Rotunda, S. E. Adjunct Professor
Balz.
Text-Books.—To be announced.

supplemented, however, by first-hand experimental studies of important
phenomena and principles. Laboratory work, four to six
hours per week. Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Associate Professor Hoxton.
Primarily for Graduates.
Physics D1 and D2: The work of these courses is of an advanced
type, designed to bring the student into touch with modern
methods of physical research. With this end in view the contents
of the courses will be varied from year to year, ranging over the
more important fields of physics in a cycle of about three years.
The formal preparation necessary for these courses will vary
somewhat with the nature of the subjects treated. What is necessary
is a certain maturity of mind with reference to the subject.
The student who has not had training in mathematics equivalent to
Course C1 will probably be unable to follow with profit any D course
dealing with the mathematical side of physics, while the student
who has not had the equivalent of the corresponding C course in
physics, will be unable to pursue a D course dealing with the experimental
side. For the session of 1913-1914 courses will be offered
in Advanced Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory, and in
Hoxton, Adjunct Professor Sparrow.
The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, specially
designed for and devoted to the work in physics. The building
throughout is characterized by structural stability. The rooms
are abundantly lighted, while some may be darkened at will. There
is a general distribution of water over the building, while all the
rooms are supplied with steam heat, gas, and electricity.
