Designation of Courses.—In the detailed account given in the following
pages of the courses offered in the Academic Schools, courses which
have no credit value toward a degree are designated by numbers alone.
All other courses are designated by letters, which have the following
significance:
A: a course for undergraduates, with a credit value toward a baccalaureate
degree of three session-hours, to which students who enter with
advanced standing are entitled (see p. 175).
B: a course for undergraduates, with a credit value toward a baccalaureate
degree of three session-hours, except in the case of courses in the
scientific Schools, which have a value of six session-hours each.
C: a course for undergraduates and graduates.
D: a course for graduates.
A term-course is a short course of three hours a week for one of the
three terms into which the academic year is divided. Such courses have
credit value as part of an elective-at-large, but not as part of a group-elective.

The biological sciences are studied both from a morphological and from
a physiological standpoint. Prominence is given to the histology, and as
far as possible to the cytology and life-histories 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
needs 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 of 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 any of the courses described
below is required to provide himself with a small case of dissecting instruments,
a hand lens, a drawing pencil, and a notebook of approved pattern.
Other necessary pieces of apparatus will be issued to each student. Students
taking B courses in either Botany or Zoölogy are required to pay
for each course a laboratory fee of $5; the laboratory fee in C courses is
$10 for each course.
Any student with adequate preparation may enter either of the undergraduate
courses in this School at the beginning of any term of the session,
remaining term or terms of the course in question, in the following session.
Any course offered in the School of Biology may be withdrawn if not
elected by at least four students.

and gravimetric estimations, the class pursues volumetric estimations and
a full course in Quantitative Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and
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.
The laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during all the
working hours of the day. Analytical Laboratory. Professor Dunnington,
Mr. Brown.
Industrial Chemistry C1: Chemistry B1 or Analytical Chemistry B1
prerequisite.—The work of this course is given in three lectures a week
throughout the session. A detailed study is made of the chemical principles
and processes of the more important manufacturing industries, upon which,
in large measure, depend the development of the natural resources of the
country.
Among the more important subjects discussed are: the metallurgy
and uses of the principal metals and alloys, and thermit, the manufacture
of acids, alkalies, salts, explosives, glass, pottery and fertilizers; the preparation
and preservation of food, including bread, meat, sugar, etc.; the
chemical arts relating to clothing, such as bleaching, dyeing and tanning;
the chemistry of arts concerning building, including the manufacture of
brick, lime and cement; the production of artificial lights and heating;
disinfectants, soap, paper, etc.
A clear comprehension of all lines of industrial manufacture is the
aim proposed in this course, a preparation needed by students who expect
to enter upon any branch of such work. Since these lectures are designed
to give some accurate information about materials with which every one
is concerned in daily life, it is judged that they will afford a valuable addition
to a general education.
The subjects specially related to Agriculture are treated of in different
portions of this course. There is a weekly quiz and weekly written exercises
are required. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3-4:30; Tuesday, 12-1. Analytical
Laboratory. Professor Dunnington.

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 unusually
extensive and good, being among the best on this side of the Atlantic.
Students who accomplish the work of Analytical Chemistry B1 and
C1, and Industrial Chemistry C1, together with Chemistry B1, B2, C1, are
prepared for entering upon work in these several lines of industry.
For Graduates.
Analytical Chemistry D1: Analytical Chemistry B1 and C1, Industrial
Chemistry C1, and Chemistry B1, B2, and C1, or the equivalent, prerequisite.—This
graduate course is designed for those seeking the degree of
Ph. D., and also for such students as desire to increase the range of their
experience as analysts, and to cultivate their powers of original investigation.
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. Professor Dunnington.

Recommendation of Teachers.—The recommendation of teachers from
the School of Education is in charge of the Bureau of Appointments,—
Professor Kent and Professor Maphis. Through this committee positions
are secured, not only for students of the School of Education, but for students
in other departments, where they are known to be fitted to fill the
vacancies reported. In response to requests from the proper authorities,
teachers are recommended for positions as instructors in colleges and normal
schools, as superintendents, as supervisors in special subjects, as principals
or department teachers in high schools, and as principals of elementary
schools. The demand for teachers has been greater than the supply.

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 species, and many
of the rarer ones, in good specimens. In addition to the above, a beginning
has been made of a collection to illustrate the geology and mineralogy
of the State of Virginia, and this is being increased as rapidly as possible.

CORCORAN SCHOOL OF HISTORY.
Professor Dabney.
Mr. Morton.
Mr. Luck.
Students with adequate preparation may enter any of the courses in
the School of History at the beginning of any term of the session, and
will receive full credit for the course on completing the work of the remaining
term or terms of the course in question during some subsequent session.
For Undergraduates.
The undergraduate courses in History will be based not only upon the
idea that "the proper study of mankind is man," and that, therefore, all
important human events, even those of the remote past, are of interest to
human beings, but also upon the idea that every highly educated man
should have an intelligent comprehension of himself and the age in which
he lives, which intelligent comprehension it is as impossible to gain without
a study of the past as it would be to comprehend thoroughly an oak
tree without studying the acorn from which it sprang as well as the soil,
climate and other features of the environment that have modified its development
in the course of time. The barbarian tribes that overthrew the
Roman Empire were the acorns from which the modern national oaks have
sprung; and the literature, art, and thought of Greece, the law and the
imperialism of Rome, and the Christian religion are the chief influences
that have affected the development of these acorns through the centuries.
No man can have a scientific understanding of himself and the modern
world without a fair knowledge of these things; and every student who
desires such an understanding is, therefore, advised to take at least the
two courses, B1, B2, in which they are treated. Credit will be given
for either course separately; and under special circumstances both courses
may be taken simultaneously.

SCHOOL OF LATIN.
Professor FitzHugh.
Adjunct Professor McLemore.
Mr. Barton.
Mr. Nelson.
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
(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 to-day has its source in the culture of the Greeks
and Romans. Greece is the fountain head of culture, 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 the Latin language, 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.

Latin D1: Latin C1 or 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 FitzHugh, 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.

terms of Mathematics A1. In elementary Analytical Geometry, to which
the third term is devoted, the class begins with a study of the Cartesian
and polar systems of Coördinates, with numerous exercises in the graphical
representation of equations. Especial attention is paid to the straight line
and the general equation of the first degree in two variables. The course
is intended to prepare for the study of the Analytical Geometry of the
Conic Section. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 9-10. Cabell Hall. Professor Page.

Algebra; Fine and Thompson, Coördinate Geometry.
In addition to the regular examinations held during the session, there
will be held special examinations on the work of Mathematics A1 and A2 at
the opening of the session, to which any student registered in the School of
Mathematics will be admitted. To a student successfully passing one of
these examinations will be given a certificate of proficiency in the work
required in Mathematics A1 or A2. Advanced standing on the work of
Mathematics A1 or A2 will be granted a student entering from a secondary
school only after he has passed here the prescribed examination on the
course in question.
Mathematics B1: Mathematics A1 prerequisite.—The work of the
course consists of an advanced course in trigonometry, taking up the subject
where left off in Mathematics A1. The major portion of the session's work,
however, is given to the study of Analytical Geometry of two dimensions
in Cartesian and polar Coördinates. A special study of the conic sections
is followed by the study of a number of classical curves. (B. A. or B. S.
credit, 3 session-hours.) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 11-12. Cabell Hall.

to a preliminary study of the Differential and Integral Calculus.
The treatment of the subject involves the operations of differentiation and
integration of functions, with applications to the expansion of functions
in series, evaluation of illusory forms, maximum and minimum values, the
applications to geometry of curves in the problems of tangency, contact
and curvature, curve tracing, are length, and areas, the volumes of revolutes
and of special forms of other surfaces, areas of surfaces of revolution,
and finally the solutions of the more important simple problems in ordinary
differential equations. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday, 12-1. Cabell Hall. Professor Echols.

for engineering students only. The subject of Analytical Geometry
is taken up at the point left off in Mathematics A2 and finished preliminary
to the Calculus. The subject of Differential and Integral Calculus is taken
up about November first and pursued during the remainder of the session.
Less stress is laid on the principles of the subject than in Mathematics B2,
the main interest being the formal application of the operations of the Calculus
to the solution of problems with the view of making the student
familiar with these operations so that he can apply them to the problems
of applied mathematics which he is to meet in engineering. Credit to
engineering students for work done elsewhere covering this course or any
portion of it must be obtained through application to and with the approval
of the Engineering Faculty. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Monday,

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.

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 and political significance.
A large part of the year will be devoted to the theories and problems of
modern times. Reading of texts and commentaries, lectures, discussions,
and essays. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 10-11. Rotunda, N. E. Professor
Lefevre.
Philosophy C2: Social Psychology: Philosophy B1, or B2, or B3,

will be applied to the study of the social relations of the self, and
the influences 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.

more important fields of Physics in a cycle of about three years. The list
given below includes courses which have recently been given and those
which are offered for the coming session.
The formal preparation necessary for these courses varies 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 Mathematics 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.

covered by any of the following courses offered in the College: Latin A1,
Greek A1, English Literature A1, English Literature A2, Mathematics A1,
Mathematics A2. Such a candidate will be admitted to the corresponding
B course, and upon his successful completion of the same will be entitled
to count toward a baccalaureate degree the credit value of both the A
and the B courses in question. The examinations for advanced standing
are set at some time during the first month of the session.
College Credit.—Candidates who desire credit for work done at other
colleges must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students, and
must, in addition, file with the Dean of the College a certificate covering
the courses for which college credit is desired. This certificate must be
acceptable both to the Dean and to the professors in charge of the courses
accredited. The certificate must bear the official signature of the head
of the candidate's college, must specify the character and content of the
courses passed by the candidate, and must give his grades, which should
validation of such certificates is effected by the successful completion of
the courses taken in this university. In no case will credit be given on
more than forty-five session-hours of work done elsewhere, and any
candidate who receives this maximum amount of credit can count among
the remaining fifteen session-hours required for his degree only the credit
value of the courses he has passed as a resident student in the College,
exclusive of any credit for work done in the Summer School or in any of
the professional departments. In every case the candidate must spend at
least one regular session exclusively in college work in this university.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance who can not offer
fourteen units may be admitted with conditions on any two units except
English A and B. All conditions must be absolved before the beginning
of the session following initial registration. This may be done by private
study or by taking courses in the University or in the Summer School.
But no course taken to remove a condition may be counted as part of the
work credited toward a degree.
Special Students.—A candidate may be admitted as a Special Student
without fulfilling the entrance requirements above specified, provided he
is more than twenty years old on the day of registration and gives adequate
evidence of serious purpose and of the training needed to pursue
with profit the courses for which he is registered. No special student
may be a candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and
encouraged to make up their deficiencies by private study or by taking
courses in the University or in the Summer School. They will then be
admitted as regular students, and may be accepted as applicants for degrees
provided all entrance requirements are met at least one academic
year before the date of graduation. From and after June, 1915, special
students will be listed separately in the catalogue.
REGULATIONS.
The Session-Hour.—All courses are measured in terms of the session-hour
as a unit. A session-hour is one hour a week throughout the session
of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week throughout the session of
laboratory work.
Maximum and Minimum of Session-Hours in One Session.—Each
student is required to undertake each session courses aggregating not less
than fifteen nor more than eighteen session-hours. Any exception to this
rule can be made only by special consent of the Academic Faculty.
Change of Schools can be made only with the consent of the Dean
and of the professors concerned.
Grade.—The grade of a student in any course, either for a term or
for the session, is determined by his class standing and his examination
grade, combined in such proportion as the professor in charge of the course
in question may decide. Class standing in any course is determined by the
regularity of the student's attendance upon the lectures (and laboratory
or other similar exercises) of the course, and by the quality of his work,
as indicated by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work, etc.
Grade Required for Passing.—For passing in any course a grade of
seventy-five per cent is required.
Grade Required for Reöxamination.—A student whose session grade
in any course falls below seventy-five per cent, but not below sixty-five
per cent, may, upon the written recommendation of the professor in
charge, be admitted to reöxamination upon that course, or upon such portion
of it as the professor shall determine, during the registration week
of the following September. The fee for each reöxamination is five dollars,
and must be paid to the Bursar on or before July fifteenth.
An applicant for a degree in any given session, whose grade for that
session in not more than one of his courses falls below seventy-five per
cent, but not below sixty-five per cent, is entitled to be reöxamined before
Final Day on that course, or on such portion of it as the professor may
determine. In such cases no reöxamination fee is charged.
Minimum Grade Required.—Any student whose average grade in all
his courses for any term is less than forty per cent, will be dropped from
the rolls. Any student whose average grade for any term is forty per
cent or more, but who attains in no one of his courses a grade of sixty-five
per cent, will be put on probation for the term next ensuing, and
any student on probation who again fails to attain for the current term
a grade of sixty-five per cent in at least one of his courses, will be dropped
from the rolls.
A student who through neglect of his work is evidently making no
real progress in a course, may at any time, after due admonition, be required
to drop the course in question; and if, for the current term or for
any succeeding term of the current session, his grade in any one of his
remaining courses falls below forty per cent, he will be put on probation.
Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but only
for sickness or like providential cause. Any explanation of an absence
which a student has to offer, must be made on the day of the first lecture
after the absence. Unexcused absences from lectures render the student
liable to be disciplined by the Faculty.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness
on the day of the examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
absence is counted as a total failure.
Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, is entitled to a special examination on a date to be
arranged between himself and the professor in charge.
Reports.—Reports are sent at the end of each term to the parent or
guardian of each student. These reports indicate the number of times the
student has been absent from lectures, and give his term grade in each
course. The Dean will be glad at any time to furnish to the proper person
a special report on any student's standing.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES.
Full opportunity is 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. But when no well-considered plan 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 will be expected to enter upon the regular work of
the College leading to a baccalaureate degree.
Four degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College.
Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science, are cultural;
the Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, the name of which
is inscribed on the diploma, is a vocational degree, designed for those
who wish to fit themselves especially in some branch of the mathematical
or natural sciences as a profession; the Bachelor of Science in Medicine is
a vocational degree designed for those who wish special preparation for
medical work.
No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of
the work credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor can
any work done to remove an entrance condition be counted for any degree.
For a student who enters without advanced standing the normal time
required for obtaining a baccalaureate degree is four years, assuming
that he completes each year courses which aggregate the regular minimum
of fifteen session-hours. A student receiving advanced standing in
not less than two subjects may obtain a degree in three years, provided
he is able to complete each year the maximum amount of eighteen session-hours.
A student may materially shorten the time required for obtaining
a degree by taking courses in the Summer School on which college credit
page 175.
The requirements for a baccalaureate degree are such as to allow
a large measure of freedom of election on the part of the individual
student, 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 a degree a due measure of acquaintance with the methods of
thought characteristic of each of the leading departments of knowledge,
as well as with their subject matter, his courses must be chosen, subject
to the specific requirements detailed below, from the following groups,
among which are distributed all the undergraduate courses having credit
value toward a baccalaureate degree. The courses in parenthesis may be

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Required for Admission to the Department.—A candidate for admission
to the Department of Graduate Studies must have a baccalaureate
degree from a recognized institution of collegiate rank; or, in case the
institution he attended does not confer such a degree, he must present 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.
Required for Admission as Applicant for a Degree.—In order to be
recognized as an applicant for a Master's or Doctor's degree, any candidate
who has not received a baccalaureate degree from this university must
secure from the Registrar of the University a blank form, which, when
properly filled out, he must file with the Dean of this department, together
with a catalogue of the institution from which he graduated. If that
institution has (1) a faculty of at least six professors giving their full
time to college or university work, (2) entrance requirements equal to
those of this university, and (3) a course of four full years in the liberal
arts and sciences, the candidate will not be required to take any undergraduate
courses except such as the Committee on Rules and Courses or
the professors in charge of the graduate courses he elects may consider
ncessary for the successful prosecution of those courses. If, however, the
institution in question does not meet the three conditions mentioned above,
the candidate's preparation will be carefully considered by the Committee
on Rules and Courses, which will prescribe such undergraduate courses as
are deemed necessary to supply his deficiencies.
REGULATIONS.
Grade.—The grade of a student in any course, either for a term or
for the session, is determined by his class standing and his examination
grade, combined in such proportion as the professor in charge of the
course in question may decide.
Grade Required for Passing.—For passing in any course a grade of
seventy-five per cent is required.
Grade Required for Reöxamination.—A student whose grade for the
session in any course falls below seventy-five per cent, but not below sixty-five
per cent, may, upon the written recommendation of the professor in
charge, be admitted to reöxamination upon that course, or upon such portion
of it as the professor shall determine, during the registration week
of the following September. The fee for each reöxamination is five dollars,
and must be paid to the Bursar on or before July fifteenth.
An applicant for a degree in any given session, whose grade for that
session in not more than one of his courses falls below seventy-five per cent,
but not below sixty-five per cent, is entitled to be reöxamined before Final
Day upon that course or upon such portion of it as the professor shall
determine. In such cases no reöxamination fee is charged.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused
absence is counted as a total failure.
Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, is entitled to a special examination on a date to be arranged
between himself and the professor in charge.
Change of Schools can be made only with the consent of the Dean
and of the professors concerned.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES.
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.
The Master's Degrees.
A candidate who has received a baccalaureate degree from this university,
or who has fulfilled the conditions above specified under Entrance
Requirements, is entitled to a Master's degree upon his successful completion
of four graduate courses, chosen in accordance with the restrictions
detailed below.
No C course may be counted for a Master's degree unless preceded by
a B course or courses in the same subject aggregating at least six session-hours;
or, in case only one three-session-hour course is offered in that
subject, by one B course in that subject and a second B course in the same
charge of the C course in question.
No C course which a candidate has offered as part of the work credited
for a baccalaureate degree (p. 181) may be counted for a Master's degree.
A candidate must take at least two graduate courses during the last
year of his work for a Master's degree, and no candidate may receive this
degree until at least one year after he has received his baccalaureate
degree, except by special consent of the Academic Faculty.
The degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts
who has successfully completed four graduate courses, chosen with the
approval of the Academic Faculty. These four courses must be in at least
three distinct subjects, and in three different academic Schools, except by
special order of the Academic Faculty. Three of the subjects must be
cognate, which means that they must be selected from kindred groups of
subjects, such as, for example, languages and literature, or mathematics
and natural science, or history, economics, and philosophy, or philosophy,
education, and biology.
The degree of Master of Science is conferred upon a holder of the
cultural degree of Bachelor of Science (p. 181), who has successfully completed
four graduate courses chosen in accordance with the regulations
prescribed for the Master of Arts above.
The degree of Master of Science in a Special Subject, the name of
which is inscribed on the diploma, is conferred upon a holder of the vocational
degree of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject (p. 182), who has
successfully completed four graduate courses selected from among those
offered in his special subject, or from among other courses which meet
with the approval of the professor or professors in charge of his special
subject.
Doctor of Philosophy.
A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must hold the
degree of Bachelor of Arts or the cultural degree of Bachelor of Science of
this university, or, if he be a graduate of some other institution, he must
have fulfilled the conditions above specified under Entrance Requirements.
The requirements for the degree are as follows:
(1) A reading knowledge of French and German, attested by the successful
completion of the B courses in these languages, or else by examinations
held at the beginning of the first year of the candidate's work for
the doctorate, by committees consisting of the professor in charge of the
candidate's major subject and the professors of French and German, respectively.
If the candidate fails on one or both of these examinations, he will
No student will be regarded as a regular candidate for the doctorate
until he has fulfilled this requirement.
(2) The successful completion of at least three years of graduate
work in three subjects, to be known, respectively, as the candidate's major,
primary minor and secondary minor. These subjects must be cognate (see
p. 187), and must be chosen, with the approval of the Committee on Rules
and Courses, from at least three academic Schools. The major must be
pursued for at least three years, the primary minor for at least two years,
and the secondary minor for at least one year.
No C course may be counted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
unless preceded by a B course or courses in the same subject aggregating
at least six session-hours; or, in case only one three-session-hour course
is offered in that subject, by one B course in that subject and a second
B course in the same Group (see pp. 179-180), chosen with the approval
of the professor in charge of the C course in question.
Any student taking a D course in any 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.
Graduate work done in other universities may be accepted in lieu
of resident work, 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 the candidate takes in this university at least one graduate
course in his primary minor, and does at least one year's resident work
in his major subject.
A candidate who is a professor in a chartered college or university,
of the subject selected by him as major, may be allowed by the Academic
Faculty to spend only two years in resident work. In all cases the work
of the last year of candidacy shall be done in residence, unless the Academic
Faculty shall for special reasons direct otherwise.
(3) A dissertation exhibiting independent research in some branch
of the candidate's major subject. The dissertation must be submitted to
the Academic Faculty not later than April fifteenth of the year in which
the candidate applies for the degree. Moreover, the copy presented for the
Faculty's approval shall be written (typewritten, 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 the dissertation is
accepted by the Faculty as satisfactory, the copy submitted shall immediately
become the property of the University. Before the degree is conferred
the dissertation must be printed at the candidate's expense, and one
hundred copies deposited in the library of the University; or, if this be
the Bursar a sum of money sufficient to have a hundred copies of the
dissertation printed.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses of 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 Virginians
and other students are entitled to free tuition, will be found on
pp. 104-113.
Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who are granted the
privilege of non-residence during a portion of their candidacy, under the
conditions above stated, are required to register each year during such
period of non-residence, and to pay the annual university fee ($10 for
Virginians, $40 for students from other States).

Historical.—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.
From the establishment of the Law School 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, and its wisdom has
been vindicated by the high position which 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.
Minor Hall.—By action of the Visitors, the new home of the Law
School has been named Minor Hall, in honor of the late John B. Minor,
whose distinguished service of fifty years as a professor of the Law School,
the University thus commemorates. The building is located between
Dawson's Row and the southern end of West Range. The architecture is
on classic lines, in keeping with the general design of the other university
buildings. It contains on the first floor four large lecture halls, with
convenient offices, lavatories, etc., and on the second floor a stack room,
with ample space for books, two commodious reading rooms, and a number
of offices for the use of the librarian and the teaching staff. Liberal provision
has been made for heat, light, and ventilation. Special care has
been taken to provide comfortable seats and desks in the lecture halls.
Law Library.—The Library contains about fourteen thousand volumes.
Its financial resources, from appropriations by the Visitors, and from an
endowment of ten thousand dollars by Mr. W. W. Fuller ('78) of New
York City, make possible the addition of several hundred volumes annually.
The Library contains the English Reports, from and including the Year
Books to date; the United States Supreme Court Reports; reports of all
the American States; the National Reporter System, complete; modern
selected and annotated reports, such as the American Decisions, Reports
and State Reports, Lawyers Reports Annotated, American and English
Annotated Cases, English Ruling Cases, etc., together with modern search-books
in the form of general Digests (including the Century and Decennial
editions), and the leading Encyclopedias, besides a large collection of textbooks,
bound volumes of law magazines, etc. Law students have all the
thousand volumes, without extra charge.
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 in a law school
or in the broader fields of professional life, a well-trained mind. If it be
true that untrained recruits, in rare instances, under diligent and persistent
effort, develop into successful practitioners after entrance upon the practice,
such exceptional cases but serve to illustrate the rule that out of a given
number of young men entering upon the study of law, those with sound
preliminary training will have incomparably the advantage, while those
without it 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 may, in general, be measured
by their academic preparation. Young gentlemen are therefore advised
not to begin their legal studies until they have completed an academic
course approximating that 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 sections.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Regular Students.—Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Laws
must have attained the age of eighteen years before entering the department,
must produce a certificate of good character from the school last
attended or from other satisfactory source, and must conform to the
general requirements following:
For Admission to the Department of Law the candidate must offer
fourteen units as specified below; of these three must be in English, two
and one-half in Mathematics, one in History, and residue selected at will.
The Subjects accepted for Admission and their values in units are
given in tabulated form on page 7. The applicant for admission may enter
(1) by certificate or (2) by examination.
(1) For Admission by Certificate the candidate must file with the
dean of the University not later than September first a Certificate of
Preparation, made out on the blank form furnished by the University.
This certificate must come from some recognized institution of collegiate
rank or from an accredited high school; but admission by certificate from
accredited public high schools in Virginia is extended only to graduates
from four-year high schools. The certificate must bear in all cases the
signature of the head of the school; must specify the character and content
of each course offered for entrance credit; must give the length of time
the candidate's grades in percentages. Each unit in the entrance requirements
is the equivalent of one full year of high-school work, including
five periods a week of at least forty minutes each during not less than
thirty-six weeks. For schools in which the number of periods given to
any study, or the length of the period, is below the standard here specified,
the credit for such study will be reduced pro rata. In the scientific subjects
two hours of laboratory instruction will be counted as the equivalent of
one hour of recitation. High-school courses in Physics and Chemistry,
otherwise adequate, will be allowed half credit, when individual laboratory
work is not done by the student or is not attested by proper note-books
filed with the certificate. Certificates of preparation from private tutors
will in no case be accepted; students thus prepared must in all cases take
the Entrance Examinations.
(2) For Admission by Examination the candidate must present himself
for test at the University in June or September, according to the dates
given in the Programme of Entrance Examinations, which may be had
by applying to the Registrar. The examinations are held under the honor
system, no paper being accepted unless accompanied by the usual pledge.
All candidates who take their examinations at the times appointed are
tested free of charge. In case of delayed entrance, where the grounds of
postponement are good, the President of the University may admit the
candidate to a special examination, for which an additional fee of five
dollars is charged. The fee is payable in advance and is in no case
returned. Satisfactory certificates as to character and age are in all cases
required.

Conditioned Students.—A candidate who can not meet the full entrance
requirement of fourteen units may be admitted with conditions on any
two units except English A and B. All conditions must be absolved before
the beginning of the session following initial registration. This may be
done by private study or by taking courses in the University or in the
Summer School.
Special Students.—A candidate may be admitted as a special student
without fulfilling the entrance requirements above specified, provided he
is more than twenty years old on the day of registration, and gives
adequate evidence of serious purpose and of the needful training. No
permitted and encouraged to make up their deficiencies by private study
or by taking courses in the University or in the Summer School. They will
then be admitted as regular students, and may be accepted as applicants
for the degree, provided all entrance requirements are met at least one
academic year before the date of graduation.
With the admonition that over-zealousness is apt to beguile an
ambitious student into the assumption of more work than he can thoroughly
master in a given time, leading to cramming and inaccuracy, and often to
complete failure, the special student is free to select his own work, within
reasonable limits.
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 three years in residence.
The Session begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth of
September, and continues for thirty-nine weeks. The session comprises
thirty-six weeks exclusive of holidays. The first three days of the session
are given to registration, and all students, both old and new, are required
during that time to place their names upon the books of the University
and the rolls of their respective classes. Lecture courses begin upon the
following Monday, and absences will be recorded against any student not
present, from the opening lecture of each course. Students entering after
the first three days will be charged a fee for registration.
Late Entrance.—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;
and credit for three years' attendance can not be secured unless the student
is in actual residence 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 General Regulations, which will be found on page 208.
Expenses.—The necessary expenses of a student in the Department
of Law may be estimated at $350 per session of nine months. This
minimum estimate includes all university and tuition fees, board, lodging,
washing, and books. An average estimate would be $450 per session,
reckoning board, lodging, washing, and books at a somewhat higher figure.
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 ratio which the work chosen bears
to the whole.
Three Years' Course.—The course of study embraces three years of
thirty-six weeks each, exclusive of holidays. Residence, for three years,
with an attendance of at least thirty weeks a year, exclusive of holidays,
is essential to graduation.
Plan of Instruction.—The course is planned with a view to acquainting
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 oral 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 misconception of legal principles on
the part of the student.
This oral quiz is supplemented by frequent written tests, the results
of which are carefully recorded, and, in the professor's discretion, are
considered in estimating the final grade of the student.
Legal Argumentation.—Beginning with the session of 1913-14, an
advanced course on Legal Argumentation was added to the list of elective
courses. This course, supplemented by the courses in Brief-Making and
Forensic Debating, absorbs the work formerly done by the Law Debating
Society.
Practical Work.—In the course of Equity Procedure, Virginia Pleading,
Practice at Law, Code Pleading, Criminal Procedure, and Legal
Bibliography and Brief Making, special stress is laid upon practical work.
In the Pleading and Procedure courses, every student is required to draw,
and submit for correction and criticism, all of the principal pleadings,
orders, decrees, and other forms usual in actual litigation. In the course
their use is secured by lectures and demonstrations in the presence of the
books followed by oral and written quizzes, and finally by practical tests;
and briefs on assigned topics are required to be prepared according to
rigorous standards.
Required for Graduation.—The degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.)
is conferred upon such students as have attained the age of twenty-one
years; have satisfied the entrance requirements; have attended three full
sessions of the Law School; and have successfully passed the required
examinations, with satisfactory performance of assigned practical work.
More specifically, the candidate for graduation must have completed
all of the obligatory courses (see Outline of Courses, below), and at least
two elective courses, one of which must be either the course in Virginia
Pleading or that in Code Pleading.
It follows that of the courses termed "elective," a required minimum
is in fact obligatory—the candidate being permitted to exercise an election
among them.
OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The course as outlined below contemplates an average of ten lecture
periods (or 15 hours) per week.
Each session is divided into three terms.
Written examinations are held during the final week of each term,
on the subjects completed during the term, with the exception of the
examination in Forensic Debating, which is held at the end of the session.
See Schedule of Examinations, p. 207.
The following outline indicates the extent of the courses offered.

The Charles Minor Blackford Prize in the Department of Law was
established through the liberality of Mrs. Susan Colston Blackford, of
Lynchburg, Va., in memory of her husband, the late Charles Minor
Blackford, a distinguished alumnus of the Law School. The prize consists
of fifty dollars in cash, and is awarded each year to a student in the
Department of Law for the best essay on some legal or sociological subject.
Each competitor must file with the Dean of the Department of Law not
later than April 15th his name and the title of his essay, and must file
his completed essay not later than May 1st. All essays must be typewritten,
must contain not more than 15,000 words, and must not be
folded. The award is made by a committee of three competent persons,
not locally connected with the University, to be selected annually by the
Law Faculty. In making the award, literary form as well as subject
matter is taken into consideration.
GENERAL REGULATIONS.
1. Registration of New Students.—Before registration in the Law
School, students who have not before been registered in any department
of the University must produce to the Dean of the Law School (office in
Minor Hall) a certificate from the Dean of the University (office, No. 6
East Lawn) that entrance requirements have been fulfilled.
2. Registration Generally.—Students must register in advance at the
office of the Dean of the Law School and with the Registrar for every course
taken, and no credit will be given for courses taken without proper
registration.
3. Delayed Registration.—Students are not permitted to delay their
registration through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any student,
new or old, who fails to present himself for registration during the first
three days of the session and between the hours of nine a. m. and two p. m.
on the first week-day after the Christmas Recess will be admitted to
registration only upon the consent of the president, and will be charged a
special registration fee of three dollars.
4. Exchange or Omission of Courses.—After registration therefor,
no course may be exchanged or omitted except on the written approval of
the professor in charge and of the Dean.
5. Maximum for Which Student May Register.—No candidate for
the degree is permitted to register, in any year, for courses comprising
in the aggregate more than 450 periods—including subjects taken but not
completed in a previous year—nor, in any case, for new courses aggregating
more than 350 periods.
6. Minimum for Which Student Must Register.—No student, without
special permission, and for good cause, may register for less than
nine periods per week.
7. Advanced Work.—Students of one year are not permitted to
anticipate the courses of a subsequent year, without urgent reasons
satisfactory to the Dean.
8. Late Entrance into Classes.—No credit is given for the completion
of any course upon which the student has entered after fifty per centum
of the lectures thereon have been delivered.
9. Optional Attendance.—A student who has attended the required
lectures upon any subject may, on written application, with the endorsed
approval of the professor in charge, and of the Dean, secure optional
of this privilege does not reduce his lecture periods below nine per week,
nor infringe Regulation 4.
10. General Requirements.—Every student of the Law School is
required to attend all regular exercises of the classes of which he is a
member, and to perform all the work assigned, including quizzes and
examinations, unless excused for good cause by the faculty.
11. Invalids.—Students whose condition of health is too precarious
to permit regular attendance upon lectures, but not serious enough to
admit them as patients of the hospital, will be required to withdraw from
the University until able to resume their regular work.
12. Conditions of Re-Admission.—Any student who, without satisfactory
cause, has not attained for the session, on his examinations,
credit for courses completed, comprising in the aggregate at least 100
periods, or, in lieu thereof, a grade of 75 per centum on courses aggregating
150 periods, will be excluded from the Law School the following
session. The result of one or more special examinations, granted for
cause under existing regulations, may be considered in determining
whether this requirement has been met.
The foregoing provisions do not affect students who have been permitted,
for cause, to take less than two-thirds of a full year's work. Such
students will be subject to exclusion or other conditions as the Law
Faculty may prescribe.
In this connection, attention is called to Regulation 5 foregoing.
13. Students Admitted on Terms of Diligence, by reason of previous
unsatisfactory record in the Law School, or other department of the
University, will be held to an average class grade (or examination grade,
in classes in which class grades are not recorded) of 75 per centum, in
the work of the first term. Failure to attain this grade without satisfactory
cause, unless the result of his other examinations shall raise his
average grade to the required standard, will operate to exclude such
delinquent from the Law School for the remainder of the session. An
average class grade of less than 75 per centum, at the end of any term,
will be regarded as evidence of a lack of the diligence required by the
terms of this condition.
14. First-Year Students.—Failure on the part of any first-year
student, without just cause, to attain, for the first term, an average
grade of seventy-five per centum on the daily written quizzes, will place
such student on probation for the remainder of the session, and the
student and his parent or guardian will be so notified. Unless, in the
opinion of the Law Faculty, a decided improvement in the character of
such student's work is indicated at the end of the second term, he will
be required to withdraw from the Law School.
15. Absence from the University is permitted upon the written leave
of the Dean of the Law School, obtained in every case in advance. But
leaves of absence for the purpose of accompanying the athletic teams or
musical clubs on excursions will not be granted, except to the officers and
members of the organizations.
16. Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors for
sickness or like providential cause. Such excuses must be rendered on
the day of the first lecture attended after the absence. Unexcused
absences from lectures render the student liable to be disciplined.
17. Special Examinations.—No special examinations are granted,
save in cases of sickness on the day of examination (attested by physician's
certificate), or for other imperative cause approved by the Law Faculty.
In no case will such examination be granted, unless prompt application
be made therefor.
18. Re-Examinations—Third-Year Students.—Candidates for the
degree, who have failed on one or more subjects during their third year,
may return the following session, and stand the regular examinations on
such subjects, without further attendance upon lectures. But this
privilege may be exercised but once—that is to say, after a second failure
the candidate must take the lectures over again, on the subject or subjects
on which he has for a second time proved deficient.
19. Examination Fees.—The fee for standing such examinations as
are mentioned in the preceding regulation is five dollars for each examination
taken. Students who, under such circumstances, return for
further lectures, and who have paid full matriculation and tuition fees
for three years, pay a matriculation fee in proportion to the amount of
work taken plus $5 for each course taken.
There is no charge for special examinations granted for imperative
cause.
20. Honor System.—All examinations are conducted under the
Honor System.
21. Application for Degree.—Candidates for graduation are required
to file a written application with the Dean, not later than November 15th
of their third year, indicating the courses completed, together with a
schedule of the courses to be pursued during their final year. Blanks for
this purpose will be supplied on application to the Dean.
22. Required Withdrawal.—The right is reserved to require the
withdrawal of any student who, in the opinion of the faculty, is not
profiting, nor likely to profit, by the instruction offered, or whose neglect
or irregular performance of required duties, after admonition, indicates
indifference or contumacy.

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 at least one year's work in Inorganic
(General) Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, at an approved institution of
collegiate rank. Candidates for admission will be required also to present
satisfactory evidence of a reading knowledge of at least one modern
language besides English, preferably German; this requirement may be
satisfied either by the presentation of certificates showing the completion
of one year of college work following upon two years of high-school work
in the same language or by an examination which will test the candidate's
reading knowledge of the language.
The completion of a year's work in Zoölogy or Botany will be accepted
as satisfying the requirements 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.
The number of students in the first-year class is limited to thirty-six.
Further information concerning the character of these requirements
and forms for certificates may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the
Department of Medicine, 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,
so that there are now well-equipped laboratories for the study 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.
and affords ample time for thorough study of 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 with the individual student
a careful, thorough, face-to-face study of disease and its management.
The facilities afforded by the University Hospital and Dispensary are
described on a subsequent page. After two sessions devoted to laboratory
training, the student is introduced, in the third year, 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, text-books, 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 view 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 with the attending physicians
and surgeons, during which visits the 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 2,100 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 third and fourth years for more
extended training in certain subjects with a view toward possible specialization
after graduation.
At the meetings of the Medical Section of the Philosophical Society
reviews of important articles and results of 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 examination. Failure to take or to pass this
examination is equivalent to a record of "failed." The record "conditioned"
is not given in fourth-year subjects, except in case of illness or other
equivalent cause approved by the faculty.
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 less than
seventy per cent., the student is entitled to the record conditioned; but
the record "conditioned" is not given in fourth-year subjects, except under
the conditions noted above.
No student will be admitted to any subject of the second or the
third year (save by the consent of the Dean and the professors concerned),
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
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.
Whenever in the judgment of the faculty a student is receiving too
many records below the grade of "Passed," the faculty may prescribe
special conditions upon which the student may remain in the Department
of Medicine, or may require his withdrawal therefrom.
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.
Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, who have less than
one full year's course to complete, may be required to take such additional
work and to pass such additional examinations as the Medical Faculty
may prescribe. This additional work may be selected from any of the
courses given in the Department of Medicine, even when such prescribed
courses have previously been taken and passed by the candidate in
question.
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 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.
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 in any first, second, or
third year subject of the preceding session 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 1915-1916 begin September thirteenth and
close September eighteenth. Students entitled to admission to these
examinations will be informed of the date of examination by the Dean.
Expenses.—The tuition fees for students entering the Department of
Medicine prior to September, 1912, are $110 for the first year, $100 for
the second year, $80 for the third year, and $60 for the fourth year.
For students entering after September 1, 1912, the tuition fee for each
year is $100.
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 $265 for living expenses,
and $30 for books.
In the courses in Organic and Physiological Chemistry a deposit of
$10 is required to cover cost of breakage.
The William A. Herndon Scholarships are founded upon the bequest
of Dr. Cumberland George Herndon, a graduate in medicine of this
university. They are awarded by the Medical Faculty after a competitive
examination held during the summer vacation preceding enrollment as a
student in the Medical Department. Candidates must be unable to defray
the expenses of their medical education and must signify their intention
of entering the medical service of the army or navy of the United States.
These scholarships provide for the necessary expenses of the student during
the entire four years of his medical course and are awarded whenever
there is a vacancy. One will be awarded in September, 1917. For
information as to the examinations and other requirements, address the
Dean of the Department of Medicine.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
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 in the hospital, require much time which it has not seemed
possible to record in a rigid schedule. It should, however, be stated that
each student in the fourth year gives at least two hundred hours to this
required but unscheduled practical work.
The session, exclusive of the time devoted to examination, is divided
into a fall term of twelve weeks, a winter term of ten weeks, and a
spring term of ten weeks.
FIRST YEAR.
Anatomy 1.—Six hours weekly until November 1st; twelve hours
weekly from November 1st to the end of the winter term. This course
begins with a systematic study of the bones, on the completion of which
a part (either the head and neck with the upper extremity 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. 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
are thoroughly used. The laboratory work is supplemented by recitations
and occasional lectures. Dr. Whitehead.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the fall and winter terms. The student's record in
the course will depend upon his recitations, laboratory drawing books,
and final examinations, 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, a micropolariscope, a projectoscope
and other accessories essential to the most favorable presentation of this
course.
A record of seventy per cent. in this course is required for admission
to Physiology, and of eighty per cent. for admission to Pathology.
Dr. Jordan and Mr. Anderson.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the spring term. 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. Anderson.
Organic Chemistry.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly,
laboratory work six hours weekly, during the fall and winter terms. 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
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. Dr. Edgar and Dr. Diggs.
Physiological Chemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations and nine
hours of laboratory work weekly during the spring term. This course has
for its object to afford instruction in the fundamentals of physiological
chemistry, especially the chemical structure, properties, and reactions of
the most important compounds with which the student must deal in his
subsequent studies of physiology. The laboratory work, for which ample
facilities are provided, consists of the 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 both
a clear understanding of the problems of physiological chemistry, and 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. Dr. Hough, Dr. Edgar, and Dr. Diggs.
SECOND YEAR.
Anatomy 3.—Ten hours weekly from October 1st through the fall and
winter terms. 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. Dr. Reeves.
Physiology.—Four hours weekly of lectures, recitations and demonstrations
throughout the 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, apparatus for gas analysis, etc.,
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 description of his experiments. The
satisfactory completion of the laboratory work is 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. Dr. Hough, Mr. Neff, Mr. Trautmann, and Mr. McNeill.
Bacteriology and Pathology.—Thirteen hours weekly throughout the
year, and two additional hours a week in the third term.
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 studies the microörganisms concerned in the common
bacterial diseases.
After a few days have been spent in making culture media, sterilization,
etc., the general technique is learned by isolating the bacteria
from the air, soil, water and milk, and from exposed body surfaces.
Bacterial counts are made from water and milk. 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. At intervals mixed cultures are given out
to the class and the students are required to isolate and identify the
bacteria in the mixtures.
Experimental work upon infection and immunity accompanies the
course in Bacteriology and Pathology. The students inoculate animals
with certain pathogenic bacteria and report to the class upon the course
of disease resulting from the inoculation. In fatal cases the students
perform autopsies upon the experimental animals and attempt to recover
the bacteria in cultures. Sections are made from the organs of the
animals which succumb to inoculation and are studied by the students.
Groups of students prepare vaccines and immunize animals. The
serum of these animals is employed by the class in studying the technique
of the more important immunity reactions. In this way the work in
Bacteriology is integrally combined with the work in Pathology, the two
courses overlapping.
The lectures and quizzes which accompany the laboratory work are
designed to set forth clearly the relations existing between bacteria and
disease and to give a knowledge of the fundamental facts and theories of
immunity and of the important principles of 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. Selected types of diseases 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 examination, and he is called upon to witness and assist in the
autopsies.
Both in Bacteriology and Pathology frequent recitations are held and
the standing of the student is determined largely upon these and from the
character of his daily practical work.
In addition to the regular course outlined above, opportunity is
afforded for qualified students and doctors to engage in advanced work.
A special room is reserved for this purpose.
The work in Pathology is open only to students who have obtained
a record of eighty per cent. in Histology. Dr. Marshall, Dr. Jackson,
Mr. Moore, and Mr. Keiger.
Pharmacology.—Five hours of lectures, recitations, and demonstrations
and six hours of laboratory work during the third term. 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. Dr. Waddell, Mr. Neff, Mr. Trautmann, and
Mr. McNeill.
Journals.—In connection with the work in Physiology, Pathology, and
Pharmacology the second-year students meet with their instructors for
one hour each week from the first of December to the end of the session
for reports and discussion of the current literature of the above sciences.
Three reports are made at each meeting by the students.
Physical Diagnosis.—Four hours weekly during the spring term.
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.
Materia Medica.—Three hours of lectures and recitations and four
hours of laboratory work weekly during the first half of the third year.
The more important drugs and preparation of the Pharmacopeia, together
with newer non-official remedies which bid fair to attain or have attained
becomes familiar with the peculiarities and methods of preparation of
the different preparations of the Pharmacopeia, as well as with the
solubilities and other characteristics of the more important drugs.
Especial attention is paid to chemical and pharmaceutical incompatibility.
Prescription writing is dealt with by lecture and frequent practical exercises.
Dr. Waddell and Mr. Dunnington.
Toxicology.—Three hours of lectures and recitation and three hours of
laboratory work weekly during the last half of the second term.
This course is to a considerable extent a review of the pharmacological
actions of poisons and their antagonists. The treatment of poisoning is
dealt with in detail. Some attention is given to the methods of separation
and identification. Dr. Waddell and Mr. Dunnington.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the fall and winter
terms. 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 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 Dr. Duggins.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures and
recitations throughout the 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, and Dr. Nelson.
Surgery and Gynecology.—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.
The study of Surgery begins in the third year and continues through
the fourth year. In the third year the classroom 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
Genito-urinary Surgery, etc.
The dispensary course in the third year gives opportunities for
diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases under close personal supervision.
Experience in dressings, bandaging, anesthesia, and minor surgery is
afforded. Surgical appliances and technique are demonstrated to the
students, divided into small groups.
The work in Gynecology follows closely the outlines already described
for surgery. The general principles of gynecology are taken up in lectures
and recitations. In addition, the dispensary affords practice in palpation,
diagnosis, and treatment. Dr. Watts and Dr. Goodwin.
Obstetrics.—Three hours weekly of lectures, recitations, and manikin
demonstrations during the 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. Dr. Macon.
FOURTH YEAR.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—The same plan is followed in the
clinical work as that already described for the third year, each of the two
sections of the class devoting 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. 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. 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
and the student is taught how to prepare the food. Instruction in the
practical details of the subject is given by the 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 disease met with in medical
practice. 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. Rea.
Case Teaching, Medical Ethics and Economics, and Insurance
Examinations.—Two hours weekly during the spring term. Dr. Davis.
Therapeutics.—Two lectures weekly during the fall and winter terms,
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.—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
with each of the two sections of the class.
Instruction in Surgery is carried on by clinics and beside 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, complication, 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.
In gynecology the students have the same general work as in surgery,
consisting of the examination and recording the 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 and Dr. Goodwin.
In addition to the above course, required of all students, the following
elective course is offered in the Department of Surgery.
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. Goodwin.
Obstetrics.—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 opportunity of attending patients in the out-patient department and
each student is expected to attend at least six cases of labour. Dr. Macon.
Forensic Medicine.—One lecture weekly during one term of the fourth
year. Dr. Waddell.
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 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 then demonstrated by the professor in
charge, and, if possible, each 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 can not 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
can not 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.
Dr. Hedges and Dr. Compton.
Hygiene.—Three hours weekly throughout the 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. Dr. Lambeth.
FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH.
The Department of Medicine not only fosters in its methods of
instruction the inductive study by the student himself of the phenomena
presented by the human body in health and disease, but also encourages
the spirit of investigation of unsolved problems of medical science and
practice on the part of the instructors and students. During the past few
years there have appeared annually a number of papers from its laboratories
embodying the results of such investigations, and it is the policy
of the department to enlarge this feature of its work in the future.
Students are encouraged to engage in research as they are prepared for it,
usually assisting an instructor in some special study or else conducting
the research under his guidance and advice. For this purpose the scientific
and clinical laboratories offer the necessary facilities and heads of departments
will always be glad to suggest and outline problems for investigation
by any medical student or by others possessing the necessary training
therefor.
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, 80 of these being in the public
wards. The equipment throughout is new, and conforms in all respects
to the best usage of the day.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the 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.
HOSPITAL STAFF.
Hospital Board: Drs. Whitehead, Davis, Watts, Hedges, Macon,

During the summer of 1913 the dispensary building was remodelled
and the service reorganized. Separate waiting rooms for white and
colored patients have been provided and the floor space has been rearranged
to provide additional rooms for the different services and separate examination
rooms for male and female patients. The chief of dispensary is
present each afternoon during the regular hours to receive and properly
refer patients and to arrange for the work of the students. The students
are divided into sections and are required to examine, record, treat, and
follow each case that comes to the clinic. The work is done under the
close personal supervision of the clinical instructors. Each third-year
student attends the medical and surgical clinics every Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday afternoons, and each fourth-year student the eye, ear, nose, and
throat clinics on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons throughout the session.
A nurse is detailed from the hospital each afternoon to be present at the
examination and treatment of patients, as required. The coöperation of
the District Nurse in Charlottesville has been secured and the dispensary
has in this way become an integral part of the charitable work of the
community.
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 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.

A candidate may be admitted as a Conditioned Student in spite of
some deficiencies, provided these are not such as will impair the integrity
of his work. But no such candidate will be conditioned except upon subjects
actually taught in this university, nor will any candidate be conditioned
on more than two units; and all conditions must be absolved
before the beginning of the next session after initial registration.
Courses taken for the removal of entrance conditions may in no case be
counted as part of the work credited for any degree. No conditions will
be allowed in English A, or B, or in Mathematics A, B, or C.
A candidate may be admitted as a Special Student, without formal
examination, provided he is more than twenty years old, and gives evidence
for which he is registered. No special student may be a candidate for
any degree.
From and after June, 1915, the special students will be listed separately
in the catalogue.
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 Freshman Class. The studies of this class comprise lecture-courses
in Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering, with associated laboratory
courses in Chemistry, Drawing, Shop-work and Field-work.
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,
Chemical, or Mining 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. Departures from the curriculum will in almost every case produce
conflicts in lecture hours or laboratory periods and may cost the student
a year's time. 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 his preliminary training
has fitted him for the profitable pursuit of 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.
Changes of classes with transfer of fees may be made, subject to the
approval of the Dean, within two weeks after the beginning of any term.
Thereafter such changes may be made only on recommendation of the
Faculty, and then without transfer of fees.
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
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 durable stiff 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.
In the following matter describing subjects of instruction, in the various
programmes of courses, and in lecture, laboratory and examination
schedules, these subjects of instruction are grouped into nine classes, each
subject being designated by a distinctive number for each term, the lecture
and laboratory courses being likewise differentiated.

The student is warned to adhere strictly to the regular programmes,
or else to select his courses so as to avoid conflicts of lecture hours, laboratory
periods, and examination days. The Faculty declines to accept any
responsibility for conflicts, unless the same have been authorized in advance
by a special vote of the Faculty.
For the session 1915-16 the initial examination days are 13 Dec.,
19 Mar., 29 May.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS.
Oral examinations are held at the beginning of each lecture hour on
the topics of the preceding lecture. Written test papers are set monthly,
or at such other interval as the professor may appoint. Absences from lecture
except by reason of sickness are not excused without a written leave
from the Dean. Class standing is determined on the basis of the oral
examinations and the written tests. Absence from the latter or failure to
answer incurs a zero grade. Absences from laboratory periods, however
caused, must be made up by special private arrangement with the instructor.
Written examinations are held at the end of each term on the entire
work of that term. The result of the examination combined with the
student's class-standing gives his term-grade. The pass-mark is seventy-five
per cent. Absence from the written term examination incurs a zero
term-grade, which may not be removed except by the passage of a special
written examination on the work of that term. Such special examinations
are granted only upon presentation of a written certificate from a reputable
physician that the student by reason of sickness on the day of the
regular examination was unable to attend.
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.
Re-examinations are held during registration week in September.
To these re-examinations 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 re-examination
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 re-examination 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 re-examination
a programme of the dates of the September examinations.
If in any class in the Department of Engineering a student fails
to make satisfactory progress, he is first admonished by the professor
in charge. In default of prompt and permanent improvement he is next
formally warned by the Dean. If due amendment is then not immediately
effected, the student's name is dropped from the rolls of the Department,
on the ground that he is not accomplishing the purposes for which he
should have entered upon a University course of study.
REGULATIONS.
The following regulations, adopted to define the policy of the Faculty,
are published for the information and guidance of the Students:
1. Practice-courses as well as lecture-courses must be conducted
under the Honor System. The student who submits any work to be
graded is considered to submit it under pledge.
2. When the lecture-course and the associated practice-course are
given in the same term of the same year, no student will be admitted to
examination on the lecture-course until he has completed at least three-fourths
of the practice-course.
3. No student will be admitted to any practice-course unless he is
at the same time pursuing the associated lecture-course, or has already
received credit for the same.
4. No student will be admitted to the graduating examination on a
lecture-course unless he has been present at more than half the lectures
in that course.
5. In the technical courses in Engineering (i. e., courses not given
in the College) term-grades shall not be averaged; except that the term-grades
for Freshman Drawing (600-601-700) may be averaged for first-year
men only, provided no mark is below 65.
6. The pass-mark in every course is 75. If a student's term-grade
in any course is less than 75, but more than 65, he may be admitted by
the Faculty to re-examination at the beginning of the next session, provided
he has completed all the associated practical work of the course.
7. No student who fails to make 75 on re-examination shall be
granted another examination on the course until he has again attended
lectures on that course.
8. Special examinations are not given except by reason of sickness
on the day of examination, attested by the written certificate of a reputable
physician, or for other like providential cause. In every case they
must be validated by special vote of the Faculty.
9. A student whose term-grades average less than 40 for all the
courses in which he is registered shall be at once dropped from the rolls.
If his average is above 40 with no mark above 65, he is placed on probation.
10. A student on probation, who in the next term makes less than
65 on each and all his courses, shall be at once dropped from the rolls.

| Thesis |
Upon the completion of the four years' course as defined in any one
of the 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, Chemical Engineer, or Mining Engineer.
In each programme will be found the Topics of Study for the several
years. The hours for lectures and laboratory exercises and the dates
for the examinations are given in the Schedule.
The student who adheres strictly to any one of the above programmes
will escape all conflicts of lecture hours, laboratory periods,
and examination days.
In all cases in which the practice-course is given in the same session with the lecture-course, such practice-course
is part of the requirement for the degree, and has not been especially recorded.
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 | $ 20 |
| Tuition and Laboratory Fees (average) | 105 | 65 |
| Living Expenses (for nine months) | 250 | 250 |
| Books and Drawing Materials | 20 | 20 |
| Incidental Expenses (for nine months) | 45 | 45 |
| Total for average conditions | $460 | $400 |
The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that
Virginians are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College. The
fee for each collegiate class taken will be $25, with the addition of the
prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 per class for Physics and
$15 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 technical lecture-course is $30, for each practice-course in
drawing $15, for each laboratory or practice course in Applied Mechanics,
Engineering, Shop-work, or Field-work $5. These fees include all charge
for laboratory materials; but the student is held further responsible for
breakage.
The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant
and laundry; the average is $28 a month, the minimum $20, and a reasonable
maximum $35. 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 travel, the expenses for which vary
too much to be introduced into any general estimate.
The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40); Tuition
and Laboratory Fees ($105); Contingent Deposit ($10); Books and
Instruments ($20); and one month's Living Expenses ($35-20). The
student will need at entrance about $200.
SPECIAL COURSE IN HIGHWAY ENGINEERING.
In recognition of the growing interest in Good Roads in Virginia
and the immense social and economic importance of the construction of
such roads in all parts of the commonwealth, the Faculty of the Department
of Engineering has rearranged the course of instruction in this topic
and brought them together into the Winter Term, so as to form a Special
Course in Highway Engineering.
To render this work accessible to as many young Virginians as possible,
the University offers a limited number of free scholarships to adequately
prepared students, citizens of Virginia, who shall be nominated
by the Boards of Supervisors of their respective counties. Such students
pay only a $5 fee for the use of field instruments and laboratory equipment.
To others the fee for this special course is $50. The following
summary gives the context of the course:

should be addressed to the Dean of the Department of Engineering.
ADVANCED STANDING.
Under the elective system of the University of Virginia a student
who was completed courses of college or university grade in other institutions
of learning on mathematical or scientific subjects may be excused
from attendance upon these courses by the Dean, with the advice and
consent of the professor in charge, and will then be registered for the
more advanced work.
In order to secure College Credit upon such courses toward a degree
in Engineering from this University the applicant must show—
1. That the courses offered are coextensive with the corresponding
courses as given in the University of Virginia.
2. That his examination grades on them were not less than the seventy-five
per cent. pass-mark of this University.
Such credits may be granted by the Faculty upon the recommendation
of the Dean and the professors in charge; but are automatically revoked
by the failure of the student to pass in the more advanced courses in the
related topics.
The same rules apply to Credits on Summer School Courses; except
that for courses in the Summer School of this University the examination
questions must be prepared by the professor in charge of the regular course
and the answers must be read and graded by him.
Credits on Practice-Courses in Drawing, Shop-work, or Field-work
may be granted to applicants who have gained in professional practice the
training which these courses represent. Such applicants must file with the
Dean proper certificates from the official under whom the work was done
and must in addition pass a practical test on the subjects for which credit
is desired.
DRAFTING ROOMS AND SHOPS.
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 Instructors 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 free-hand
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,
and used primarily as an 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.
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 milling 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, grindstone, and
so on.
The Wood Shop is furnished with five small lathes, a large pattern
maker's lathe, a jointer, a planer, a saw bench for slitting and cross-cutting,
a band-saw, a jig-saw, and a wood trimmer for pattern making, six cabinet
maker's benches, and an ample supply of the familiar hand tools.
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 an engine-driven blower,
and the exhaust is operated by a fan driven also by the engine.
LABORATORY WORK IN APPLIED MECHANICS.
The Sinclair Laboratory for work in Strength of Materials 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 Riehle 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; appliances
necessary accessory measuring instruments for utilizing these machines.
The laboratory equipment for work in Hydraulics 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 with
adjustable bronze orifices for experiments on efflux; 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.
FIELD AND LABORATORY WORK IN CIVIL ENGINEERING.
The outfit of Field Instruments contains compasses, transits, and levels
of various approved makes; a solar transit, furnished also with stadia
wires and gradienter for tachymetric work; hand-levels and clinometers
for field topography; plane tables; a sextant; together with an adequate
supply of leveling rods, telemeter rods, signal poles, chains, tapes, pins,
and so on. For hydraulic 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. Polar planimeters are provided for facilitating such estimates
and a pantograph for making reduced copies of finished drawings.
The apparatus for tests of Non-bituminous Road Materials includes a
two-cylinder Deval abrasion machine, a ball mill, a moulding press for
briquettes of rock dust, a Page impact cementation tester, a Page impact
toughness tester, a rock crusher and a Purdue brick rattler. This outfit
the University owes to the generous aid of Dr. Logan Waller Page. In
addition, the Department has acquired a 40,000-pound compression tester,
a diamond core drill, a diamond rock saw, a grinding lap, a Westphal balance,
specific gravity apparatus, and a complete set of sieves. Useful
researches in the road-building rocks and gravels of Virginia, as well as
the standard tests, are conducted each year by the class in Civil Engineering.
Provision has been recently made of apparatus for tests of Bituminous
Road Materials. This includes the New York Testing Laboratory penetrometer,
the Hirschbaum ductility machine, the Engler viscosimeter, the
asphalt viscosimeter, the New York Testing Laboratory extractor, the New
York State Board of Health oil tester, Hubbard pyknometers, asphalt flow
plates, gas and electric hot plates, and all the accessory apparatus needed
for research on bituminous road-binders.
LABORATORY WORK IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.
The Steam Engine Tests are made on the high-speed Ball engine, which
operates the shops. This motor has been specially equipped for the purpose.
It receives steam from the main line through a 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 horse-power determined. In like manner a 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 condensing water and the condensed steam produced during the
run. With these data a complete heat balance of the experimental run
is attainable.
The Steam Turbine Tests are made on a DeLaval 30 horsepower
turbine direct-connected to a 25 kva. alternating current generator. The
turbine takes steam from the main line through a Cochrane separator;
humidity tests are made with a throttling calorimeter below the separator.
Pressure gauges indicate the steam pressure before and after passing
the governor and after expansion in the nozzles. Humidity tests of
exhaust steam are made with a separating calorimeter. The turbine has
interchangeable nozzles for saturated steam exhausting to atmosphere;
for saturated steam exhausting to condenser; for superheated steam
exhausting to condenser. Steam consumption is determined by weighing
the condensate. Power output is measured at the generator, the efficiency
of the latter being known.
The Steam Pump Tests are made on a Worthington direct acting
duplex pump, receiving steam from the main line and exhausting either
to atmosphere or condenser. By weighing the condensed steam the hourly
consumption is determined. The pump draws water from a concrete tank
in the floor of the laboratory and delivers it to a copper-lined tank in the
attic under a head of forty-five feet. Water from the attic tank is
returned to a wrought-iron weir tank in the laboratory, and thence to the
concrete tank. In the weir tank quantity of water delivered is measured.
Velocity head is determined indirectly from the quantity and the known
area of the discharge nozzle. Friction head is determined independently,
and steam consumption per developed horse-power is computed.
The Air Compressor Tests are made on a Remington Ammonia compressor,
4″ × 6″ double cylinder, single acting, so arranged that it may
be connected either to the refrigerating machine or an air storage tank
thermometer cup passing well across the diameter of the tank near its
central portion. From the temperature, pressure, and the known capacity
of the tank compressor-capacity is determined; a check on the capacity
from the indicator diagrams being thus obtained. Power imput is measured
by a calibrated electric motor which drives the compressor.
The Air Engine Tests are made on a 3″ × 4″ single cylinder double
acting engine receiving air from the storage tank at any desired pressure
below 100 pounds. The engine is permanently rigged for taking indicator
diagrams, the intake air temperature being determined near the cylinder.
A friction brake and a revolution counter provide means for determining
power output.
This equipment provides for the determination of (a) Mechanical
efficiency of the compressor, (b) Cylinder efficiency of the compressor,
(c) Efficiency of transmission, (d) Cylinder efficiency of the engine, (e)
Mechanical efficiency of the engine, (f) Over-all efficiency of the air plant.
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 wattmeter
and by ammeter and voltmeter readings. The tanks are accurately calibrated
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.
For Engine Balancing Experiments the 3″ × 4″ air engine is provided
with detachable weights which may be clamped at any desired position
relative to the crank and the axis of the main shaft. The engine is
then suspended by coil springs; the exactness of the balance from previously
computed weights being determined by the nature of vibration
of the suspended frame.
LABORATORY WORK IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The Scott Laboratory of Electrical Engineering.—This laboratory
was initially equipped and endowed by Mrs. Frances Branch Scott, of
Richmond, Va., as a memorial to her late son, an alumnus of this university.
During the year 1910 the equipment was substantially increased
through the generosity of the Hon. Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, Ill., a
friend of the university. During 1912, still further substantial additions
were made, consisting of measuring instruments, auxiliary control apparatus,
and more particularly a steam-turbine driven alternating current,
three-phase, generator with exciter and control switchboard.
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 other pieces of
apparatus for minor tests, it contains numerous pieces of the very best
construction. Such are the Wolff Potentiometer, the Siemens and Halske
Thomson Double Bridge, the Koepsel Permeameter, the Duddell Double
Projection Oscillograph, the Station Photometer with Lummer-Brodhun
screen, the Carey-Foster Bridge and others. For the work in machine
testing there are a number of direct current generators and motors, series,
shunt and compound, an interpole motor, a double current generator, a
two-phase alternator, a General Electric experimental test set for alternating
current, comprising a generator furnishing single, two, three, six
or twelve-phase current, and, in addition, offering three types of induction
motors with all necessary starting and controlling devices, a single-phase
repulsion motor, a two-phase induction motor, two three-phase induction
motors, several pairs of constant voltage transformers, a constant current
transformer, frequency meters, power factor indicator, synchronism indicator,
ground detector and the auxiliary apparatus used in testing these
machines. The laboratory has been arranged with a system of universal
plug and receptacle connections to facilitate the setting up of all experimental
combinations.
The laboratory work is carried on by the students in squads or groups
of two or three and is so arranged that each student will become familiar
with all the details and connections of each particular test. A most
important feature of the laboratory instruction is the required preparation
of a preliminary report on each experiment before the actual test
is carried out. These preliminary reports are written up in the classroom
at assigned hours and consist of a complete résumé of the test under
discussion. The object, the theory, the scheme of connections necessary,
the choice of measuring instruments and all auxiliary devices needful for
the proper performance of the experiment are here worked out and this
preliminary report is handed in for correction or approval. After approval,
the test is assigned for a definite laboratory hour and the work is then
carried through. A final report is then handed in consisting of the preliminary
and the additional data in tabulated and in graphical form. Such
a final report comprises a complete text on any given experiment and will
prove of great value in later work in commercial fields. It is recognized
that the outlined method for laboratory work is of the greatest benefit to
the student inasmuch as it requires a thorough understanding of each given
test, and at the same time inculcates habits of self-reliance and a spirit
of originality which can not prove to be other than beneficial in the later
work when the engineer must rely to a great extent upon his own ingenuity.
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 other 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 blue-print and photographic rooms. Below on
the ground floor are another classroom, the testing laboratories, the wood
shop, the metal shop, apparatus and storerooms, the toolroom, 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-rooms, 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 storerooms. 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
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 storeroom 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 students.

dollars will be charged each non-Virginia student. This fee will entitle
the student to enter any of the courses outlined in the catalogue, except
a few special courses which are so designated. No student, however, will
be allowed to take more than three advanced courses or six elementary
courses without special permission in writing from the Director.
For Virginia Teachers.—Tuition will be entirely free to all Virginia
teachers in all the regular courses, both elementary and advanced, leading
to the professional and first grade certificates. There are a few special
courses offered to meet certain demands, although not necessary for certificate
credit, for which fees will be charged to all who take them. The fee
attached to each is designated in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory
courses will also be charged all students who register in them.
Students from Virginia who are not teachers or preparing to teach
next session will be charged the same tuition as non-Virginia students.
CREDIT.
Certificates will be granted in each course in the University Department
to those students who attain a grade of 75 per cent. This grade will
be the average of the recitation and examination marks. No student will
be permitted to take more than three courses for the Summer School Professional
Certificate—advanced grade, or for University credit, without the
permission of the Director.

VIRGINIA STATE CERTIFICATES.
Teachers outside of Virginia are not bound in the choice of their
courses by the conditions under which Virginia certificates are issued, unless
they desire to teach in Virginia and apply for a certificate issued in this
State. In this case only state certificates from other States will be recognized
as a proper basis for professional work.
Teachers from other States will receive credit for all work done at
the Summer School in accordance with the certificate regulations of those
States from which they come.
The Virginia certificates with which the courses of study at the
Summer School are immediately concerned are the following:
The Summer School Professional Certificate—College Grade.
The Summer School Professional Certificate—Advanced Grade.
The Summer School Professional Certificate—Grammar Grade.
The Summer School Professional Certificate—Primary Grade.
The following general conditions must be fulfilled by all applicants
before they can enter upon the work leading to these certificates. The applicant
must be the holder of a Virginia first grade certificate or of a Virginia
first grade high-school certificate and must have had at least five months
of actual teaching experience. When necessary, the certificate which entitles
the teacher to enter upon the summer school professional courses, may be
revived or extended for one year from time to time, provided that part of
the professional course prescribed for the year is successfully completed.
No certificate which has expired can be revived for more than one year upon
the basis of completing any one year of professional work.
No credit can be allowed for the Summer School Professional Certificate
except for work completed at a registered college or normal school
in Virginia and in those of equal grade outside of Virginia whose courses
have been approved and registered by the State Board of Education.
The applicant shall make at least 75 per cent on class standing and
examination on each subject required for the certificate. The course must
be completed within a period of five years if taken in summer terms of
four weeks each, or in four years if taken in summer terms of six weeks
each. The minimum time allowed for completing the Summer School Professional
Certificate is three terms of four weeks each or two terms of six
weeks each. A minimum of 300 recitation periods of at least 40 minutes
each is required, and for courses of College Grade a minimum of 180
recitation periods of at least 60 minutes each.
Summer School Professional Certificate—Advanced Grade.—This certificate
entitles the holder to teach only in the elementary schools. The
course must embrace the following branches of college grade: Required,

| LILIE ESTELLE DINWIDDIE | Assistant in Charge of Circulation |
| HENRY TROUT MANN | Assistant in the Library |
The various libraries of the University are placed as follows: the
general library, the medical, the chemical, and the Isabel Mercein
Tunstall Library of Poetry, in the Rotunda; the astronomical, in the
Leander McCormick Observatory; the biological and botanical, in the
Biolgical Laboratory; the engineering, in the Mechanical Laboratory; the
geological, in the Lewis Brooks Museum of Natural History; the law,
in Minor Hall; the mathematical and the Hertz classical, in Cabell Hall;
and the physical, in the Rouss Physical Laboratory.
The general library is for the use of the corps of instruction and
administration of the University and the students in all departments of
the institution. The collection contains more than eighty thousand
volumes, and includes the standard books of history, literature, and
science, and is particularly rich in materials for the study of social and
economic achievements and tendencies. The reference section is well
supplied with encyclopedias and other sources of information.
The general library is open daily, Sunday excepted, from 9 A. M.
to 4 P. M., and from 7:30 to 10:30 P. M.; the Law Library from 9 A. M.
to 2 P. M., from 3 to 5 P. M., and from 7:30 to 10:30 P. M.; and the
Medical Library from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M.
Books in the general library may be lent only to the following
persons: (1) Officers and students of the University; (2) persons whose
former official connection with the University entitles them to consideration;
and (3) other persons recommended by an officer of the University.
The last named must make a deposit of five dollars and must pay, for
each year or fraction thereof, a fee of one dollar. The deposit will be
returned on request, less any penalties that may have been incurred by
the detention or injury of books. No professor, officer, or student may
borrow books for the use of others.
No book may be taken from the library until it has been charged
at the desk. Two weeks is the maximum period for which books may be
lent, and the date on which the loan expires is stamped in the book.
The loan may be renewed unless another person entitled to the privileges
of the library has applied for the book in question.
Books in the reference collection are not to be removed from the
library, but may be freely consulted. All bound magazines are classed
as reference books.
Books in current general use in connection with any course of instruction
may be temporarily placed on the reference shelves and made
subject to the above rule.
Books which are especially valuable or peculiarly liable to injury,
are not available for circulation.
The latest numbers of current periodicals are withheld from circulation.
