ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

For admission to any department of the University the general conditions
are the following:

1. Sufficient Age:—The minimum legal age is sixteen years; seventeen
or more are advised by the Faculty. Eighteen years is the minimum
for admission to the Department of Law.

2. Good Character:—This must be attested by a certificate of honorable
dismissal from the school last attended, or by other valid proof.

3. Adequate Preparation:—This must be such as will enable the candidate
to meet the requirements for admission to the several departments
of the University, as detailed below.

For admission to the Department of Graduate Studies, see page 185.

For admission to the Department of Medicine, see page 213.

For admission to the College, the Department of Law, or the Department
of Engineering, the candidate must present a certificate or pass an
equivalent examination. In either case the amount of preparation required
is measured in terms of units.

A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary school,
constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work.

This definition of a unit takes the four-year high-school course as a
basis, and assumes that the length of the school year is from thirty-six
to forty weeks, that a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length,
and that the study is pursued for four or five periods a week; but under
ordinary circumstances a satisfactory year's work in any subject can not
be accomplished in less than one hundred and twenty hours, or their
equivalent. Schools organized on any other than a four-year basis can,
nevertheless, estimate their work in terms of this unit.

For the requirements as to the number and selection of units for
entrance to the three departments mentioned above, see, for the
College, p. 175; for the Department of Law, p. 193: for the Department
of Engineering, p. 233.

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE.

For admission by certificate the applicant should file with the Dean
of the University not later than the first of September a Certificate of
Preparation, made out on the blank form furnished by the University.
This certificate must come from a recognized institution of collegiate rank,
from an accredited public high school, or from an accredited private secondary
school.

The candidate for admission from a public high school must be a
graduate of an accredited four-year high school.

The candidate for admission from a private secondary school must
show the equivalent of four years of satisfactory high-school work.

In every case the candidate for admission must have the recommendation
of the principal of the certifying school.

Schools in Virginia are accredited by the Faculty of this university
after inspection and report by a committee of the Faculty (see pages 96-99).
The Dean of the University is further authorized to accept certificates
from schools outside Virginia, accredited by their own State Universities
or institutions of equal rank, provided the courses of study offered
in such schools meet the requirements demanded of accredited schools in
this State.

If in any accredited school the number of periods given to a study, or
the length of the period, is below the specified standard, the credit for such
subject is reduced pro rata. In the science subjects only half-credit is
allowed unless individual laboratory notebooks, properly attested by the
teacher in charge, are 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.

ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION.

For admission by examination the candidate must present himself at
the University in June or in September, according to the dates given in
the Programme of Entrance Examinations. The examinations are held
under the honor system, no paper being accepted unless accompanied by
the usual pledge (see page 15). 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.

DEFINITIONS OF THE UNITS.

The following definitions of the entrance units are designed on the one
hand to guide the student in his preparation for the entrance examinations,
and on the other to govern the high-school principal and teachers
in organizing their courses of instruction.

ENGLISH.

The courses outlined, in accordance with the programme of most high
schools, take into account English, (1) as a language, (2) as a means of
expression. (3) as a literature—all so intimately connected, however, that
the proper study of each will bear indirectly on the other two.

English A. Grammar and Grammatical Analysis:—The parts of
speech with inflections and uses of each; syntax, especially of nouns, verbs,
and conjunctions; detailed study of sentence-structure, including capitalization
and punctuation. Text-book recommended: Baskervill and Sewell's
English Grammar. Grammar and analysis might well be taught through
two years of the high school. (One unit.)

English B. Composition and Rhetoric:—The choice, arrangement,
and connection of words, with exercises on synonyms, antonyms, and degrees
and shades of meaning; fundamental qualities of style, with selected and
original examples; the sentence in detail as to unity, coherence, and proportion,
with ample exercises in constructing sentences of varied types and
emphasis; the paragraph with reference to the placing of the topic and to
the attainment of unity, continuity, and emphasis, with abundant exercises
in composing good paragraphs; much practice in planning and writing
simple compositions on familiar subjects under the heads of narration,
description, exposition, and argumentation. Text-book recommended:
Brooks and Hubbard's Composition-Rhetoric. Practice in composition
should continue through the entire high-school course, though formal
rhetoric may be studied but one year. (One unit.)

English C. Critical Study of Selected Specimens of English Literature:—The
specimens for reading and study designated for college entrance
requirements by the joint committee of colleges and secondary schools.
These required books or their equivalents should be studied throughout the
high-school course under the guidance of the instructor. Parallel reading
should be encouraged and intelligent conversation about books directed.
(One unit.)

The college entrance requirements in English for 1913-1919, inclusive,
are:

A. Reading.

The aim of this part of the requirement is to foster in the student the
habit of intelligent reading and to develop a taste for good literature, by
giving him a first-hand knowledge of some of its best specimens. He should
read the books carefully, but his attention should not be so fixed upon
details that he fails to appreciate the main purpose and charm of what
he reads.

With a view to large freedom of choice, the books provided for reading
are arranged in the following groups, from each of which at least two
selections are to be made, except as otherwise provided under Group 1.

LATIN.

The Latin units are construed in accordance with the following Report
of the Commission on College Entrance Requirements in Latin:

I. AMOUNT AND RANGE OF THE READING REQUIRED.

1. The Latin reading required of candidates for admission to college,
without regard to the prescription of particular authors and works, shall
be not less in amount than Cæsar, Gallic War, I-IV; Cicero, the orations
against Catiline, for the Manilian Law, and for Archias; Vergil, Æneid.
I-VI.

2. The amount of reading specified above shall be selected by the
schools from the following authors and works: Cæsar (Gallic War and
the Civil War) and Nepos (Lives); Cicero (Orations, Letters, and De
Senectute) and Sallust (Catiline and Jugurthine War); Vergil (Bucolies,
Georgics, and Æneid) and Ovid (Metamorphoses, Fasti, and Tristia).

II. SUBJECTS AND SCOPE OF THE EXAMINATIONS.

1. Translation at Sight. Candidates will be examined in translation
at sight of both prose and verse. The vocabulary, constructions, and range

of ideas of the passages set will be suited to the preparation secured by
the reading indicated above.

2. Prescribed Reading. Candidates will be examined also upon the
following prescribed reading: Cicero, orations for the Manilian Law and
for Archias, and Vergil, Æneid, I, II, and either IV or VI at the option
of the candidate, with questions on subject-matter, literary and historical
allusions, and prosody. Every paper in which passages from the prescribed
reading are set for translation will contain also one or more passages for
translation at sight; and candidates must deal satisfactorily with both
these parts of the paper, or they will not be given credit for either part.

3. Grammar and Composition. The examinations in grammar and
composition will demand thorough knowledge of all regular inlections,
all common irregular forms, and the ordinary syntax and vocabulary of
the prose authors read in school, with ability to use this knowledge in
writing simple Latin prose. The words, constructions, and range of ideas
called for in the examinations in composition will be such as are common
in the reading of the year, or years, covered by the particular examination.

Note.—The examinations in grammar and composition may be either in
separate papers or combined with other parts of the Latin examination, at the
option of each individual institution; and nothing in any of the above definitions
of the requirements shall be taken to prevent any college from asking questions
on the grammar, prosody, or subject-matter of any of the passages set for translation,
if it so desires.

SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING PREPARATION.

Exercises in translation at sight should begin in school with the first
lessons in which Latin sentences of any length occur, and should continue
throughout the course with sufficient frequency to insure correct methods
of work on the part of the student. From the outset particular attention
should be given to developing the ability to take in the meaning of each
word—and so, gradually, of the whole sentence—just as it stands; the
sentence should be read and understood in the order of the original, with
full appreciation of the force of each word as it comes, so far as this can
be known or inferred from that which has preceded and from the form and
the position of the word itself. The habit of reading in this way should
be encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation for all the translating
that the student has to do. No translation, however, should be a mechanical
metaphrase. Nor should it be a mere loose paraphrase. The full
meaning of the passage to be translated, gathered in the way described
above, should finally be expressed in clear and natural English.

A written examination can not test the ear or tongue, but proper
instruction in any language will necessarily include the training of both.
The school work in Latin, therefore, should include much reading aloud,
writing from dictation, and translation from the teacher's reading. Learning
suitable passages by heart is also very useful, and should be more
practiced.

The work in composition should give the student a better understanding
of the Latin he is reading at the time, if it is prose, and greater facility
in reading. It is desirable, however, that there should be systematic and
regular work in composition during the time in which poetry is read as
well; for this work the prose authors already studied should be used as
models.

In accordance with the above report, the following detailed description
of the four units of Latin is given:

Latin A. Grammar, Composition, and Translation:—The Roman pronunciation;
habitual observance of accent and quantity; thorough mastery
of the regular forms; the simple rules of word-formation and derivation;
syntax of the cases, tenses, and modes; accusative and infinitive, relative
and conditional sentences, indirect discourse, and the subjunctive. Translation
into Latin of easy detached sentences illustrating grammatical principles,
and of very easy continuous prose based upon the vocabulary of
Cæsar and Cicero. (One unit.)

Latin B. Cæsar's Gallic War, Books I-IV, Grammar, Composition:—
A reasonable acquaintance with the time and purpose of the author; intelligent
grasp of the thought; ability to summarize the narrative as a
whole; ready comprehension of the normal forms and constructions: a
reasonable facility in reading at sight passages of like vocabulary and
construction. As much as one book of Cæsar may be substituted by an
equivalent amount of Viri Romæ, or other Latin prose. In connection
with all of the reading there must be constant practice in prose composition,
as well as in sight translation. (One unit.)

Latin C. Cicero's Orations against Catiline, and Two Others, Grammar,
Composition:—A reasonable acquaintance with the time and circumstances
of the Catilinarian conspiracy; intelligent appreciation of the
orator's thought and purpose; ability to summarize the oration as a whole:
readiness in explaining normal forms and constructions; reasonable facility
in reading at sight passages of like vocabulary and structure. As much
as two orations may be substituted by an equivalent amount of Nepos, or
other Latin prose. In connection with all of the reading there must be
constant practice in prose composition, as well as in sight translation.
(One unit.)

Latin D. Vergil's Æneid, Books I-VI, Grammar, Composition:—A
reasonable acquaintance with the time and purpose of the poet; intelligent
appreciation of the poet's thought and art; ability to summarize the story
as a whole; acquaintance with the typical forms and constructions of
poetry; practical mastery of the heroic hexameter; reasonable facility in
reading at sight passages of like vocabulary and difficulty. The third and
fifth book of the Æneid may be substituted by an equivalent amount of
Ovid, or other Latin epic poetry. In connection with all reading there
should be constant practice in prose composition, as well as in sight translation.

He should be familiar with the usual shop processes, the standard methods
of work, and the properties of the ordinary constructive materials. (One
unit.)

In these units a practical examination in drawing and in shop-work
is given to validate the certificate of training.

ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.

Conditions for the Accrediting of Schools.—A school desiring to be
placed on the accredited list of the University should apply to the Chairman
of the Committee on Accredited Schools. In response to the application,
a blank form inquiring into the course of study, faculty, etc., of the
school will be sent to the principal. Upon the return of this blank, properly
filled out, a representative of the University will be sent to inspect
the school, and to report on such matters as the quality of instruction, the
general intellectual and moral tone of the school, and the efficiency of the
equipment, especially library and laboratory facilities. If his report is
favorable and the Committee concurs, the school will be accepted and the
principal duly notified. The name of the school will be entered upon the
list of accredited schools and published in the catalogue of the University.

Each school must meet the following requirements:

(1) A course of study covering not less than four years of high-school
work, based on at least seven years of competent elementary instruction,
and embracing at least sixteen units as defined on pages 85-95. These sixteen
units must include English A, B, C, Mathematics A, B, C, and one
unit of History. Those schools which wish to prepare students for the
study of Latin in the University must offer instruction in this subject to
the extent of four units.

(2) A teaching force of not less than three teachers, each of whom
devotes his entire time to high-school instruction, and conducts not more
than seven recitation periods a day. The University will scrutinize with
extreme care any school in which any instructor teaches more than six
periods a day. All teachers should possess college training, and preference
will be given to those schools in which the teachers are college graduates.

List of Accredited Schools.—The following is a list of the schools
within the State of Virginia at present accredited by the University. This
list is revised annually by the Committee, and any school which fails to
report to the Committee when requested to do so, or which fails to maintain
the standard above specified, may be removed therefrom.

REGULATIONS.

REGISTRATION.

Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to the
University for the first time must present themselves to the Dean of the
University at some time during the first three days of the session. Each
candidate who satisfies the requirements for admission set forth on pp.
81-95 will be directed to the dean of the department which he purposes
to enter.

The dean in question will, upon being satisfied that the candidate is
fitted to enter upon the work of the department, issue to him a card containing
the names of the courses which the candidate proposes to pursue
during the session; this card must be presented in turn to each professor
concerned, who will, on satisfying himself that the applicant is prepared
to pursue with profit the course in question, sign the card, and enter the
applicant's name upon the roll of the course. The card must then be
returned to the Dean of the University, who will endorse upon it the
amount of fees to be paid to the Bursar. On payment of these fees the
registration of the applicant as a student of the University will be
completed.

Registration of Matriculated Students.—Students who have already
been matriculated as members of the University are required to present
themselves directly to the deans of their respective departments upon one
of the first three days of the session, and to follow the procedure described
above.

Delayed Registration.—Any student who fails to present himself for
registration during the first three days of the session will be admitted to
registration only provided the President considers the delay adequately
explained, and will be charged a delayed registration fee of three dollars.

Registration after the Christmas Recess.—On the first week-day
after the Christmas recess every student is required to register with the
dean of his department between the hours of nine a. m. and two p. m.
Any student failing to register thus will be required to pay the delayed
registration fee of three dollars, and his absences from his lectures will be
recorded against him. But if the delay is due to illness or other providential
cause, the dean is authorized to remit the fee and to notify the
professors concerned that the student's absences have been satisfactorily
explained.

101

RESIDENCE AND ATTENDANCE.

The Academic Year begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth
of September and continues for thirty-nine weeks. Thanksgiving Day and
Jefferson Day are holidays, and there is a Christmas recess beginning on
the morning of the twenty-fourth of December and closing on the evening
of the second of January.

Attendance is required of each student throughout the entire session,
with the exception of holidays, unless he has received permission to be temporarily
absent, or to withdraw before its close. Leave of absence is
granted by the deans for sufficient reasons. While in residence each student
is required to attend regularly all lectures and other prescribed exercises
and all examinations in the courses which he pursues.

Absence from the University is permitted upon the written leave of
the dean of the department in which the student is registered, and must
in every case be obtained 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 these organizations. The
laws relating to absence from the University of members of the athletic
teams are found on page 291. The same regulations apply, mutatis mutandis,
to members of other student organizations.

Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written consent
of the student's professors and of the Dean of the University. When
a permit is granted upon the University Physician's certificate that withdrawal
is necessary on account of ill health, which must not be due to dissolute
conduct, the fees are returned pro rata. Under no other circumstances
will there be a return of fees.

Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted by the several department faculties
for habitual delinquency in class, habitual idleness, or any other fault which
prevents the student from fulfilling the purposes for which he should have
come to the University. See also the regulations as to delinquent students
in the various departments: The College, p. 177; the Department of Law,
pp. 209-210; the Department of Medicine, pp. 215-216; the Department
of Engineering, p. 254.

Honor System.—All examinations in the University are held under
the Honor System, and an unpledged paper is counted as a total failure.
In matters of class standing as well, students are expected to regard themselves
as governed by the law of honor. See page 15.

CONDUCT.

The laws of the University require from every student decorous, sober,
and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the University,

102

whether he be within the precincts or not. Drunkenness, gambling, and
dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may dismiss from
the University for the residue of the current session every student found
guilty of them, or may administer such other discipline as seems best under
the circumstances.

In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first
be informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity
of explanation and defense.

The keeping of dogs by students within the University grounds is forbidden.

Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants
and others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students. The
license to contract debts, which the President is authorized to grant, is limited
(except when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in writing)
to cases of urgent necessity.

DORMITORY AND BOARD.

Dormitory.—Students may reside in the university dormitories, in
their homes, or in private houses approved by the President. The President
will withdraw from the approved list any house in which the regulations
as to the conduct of students are not observed. Any change of residence
during the session should be reported at the office of the Registrar.

For rules governing the rental and occupancy of university dormitories,
and the rates charged for the same, see pages 109-110. For list of
private lodging-houses, with rates, apply to the Registrar.

Board.—Students may board at the University Commons, at their
homes, or in private houses approved by the President.

For the cost of board at the Commons, see p. 109. For list of private
boarding-houses, with rates, apply to the Registrar.

MEDICAL ATTENDANCE AND PHYSICAL TRAINING.

Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes
not due to his own misconduct is entitled, without charge, to all necessary
medical advice from the University Physician; and, if necessary, to nursing
in the University Hospital at a reasonable charge for his maintenance while
there. This exemption from charge does not apply to cases requiring surgical
operation, treatment of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, or to constitutional
disorders from which the student in question was suffering at the
time of his coming to the University. The University is not responsible
for the expense incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated
by severe illness of students, or through the maintenance of quarantine

103

precautions in contagious cases. Students who take the responsibility
of boarding at houses not approved by the Board of Health forfeit the right
of medical attendance. Any student sent to the University Hospital by
the advice and under the care of a physician other than the University
Physician will be required to pay the regular hospital charges for private
patients.

Physical Training.—No student is permitted to undertake an amount
of work greater than he may reasonably be expected to do well without
detriment to his health; and every student is advised to take a due
amount of daily outdoor exercise, for which ample opportunities are
afforded upon the athletic fields, the tennis courts, the golf course, and
elsewhere; and in addition, to make systematic use of the facilities
afforded without cost for definite and judicious physical training at the
Fayerweather Gymnasium under the advice and instruction of the Director
and his assistants. Further information upon this important subject will
be found upon page 288.

104

EXPENSES.

The university fee, tuition and laboratory fees, the contingent deposit,
rents of rooms in the university buildings, and charges for service in the
same, are payable upon entrance. Under special conditions the President
is authorized to allow credit; but these deferred payments are in all
cases to be properly secured.

Students permitted to register during a term are required to pay the
full fees for that term.

Under no circumstances will there be a return of fees except upon
certificate from the University Physician that withdrawal from the University
is necessary on account of ill health, which must not be due to
dissolute conduct. Upon receipt of the University Physician's certificate,
the President will return the fees pro rata.

A student's necessary expenses are as follows:

I. University Charges, which are the same for all students, except
Virginians in the College, the Department of Graduate Studies, and the
Department of Engineering;

II. Department Fees, which depend upon the course of study pursued;

III. Board and Lodging, the cost of which varies according to the
degree of economy the student is inclined to practise.

I. UNIVERSITY CHARGES.

Under the first head are included (a) the university fee, $40 ($10
for Virginians in the Academic Departments, $20 for Virginians in the
Department of Engineering), and (b) the contingent deposit, $10; as well
as (c) certain special fees which may or may not be incurred, namely:
1. The special entrance examination fee of five dollars. 2. The delayed
registration fee of three dollars. 3. The re-examination fee of five dollars.

(a) The university fee goes to the fund intended to defray the
general expenses of the University. Payment of this fee entitles the
student, without additional charge, to the use of the Library; to the
privileges of the Gymnasium, with baths, private lockers, etc., and the
advice and aid of the Instructor in Physical Culture; and to free medical
attendance by the University Physician in case of illness (see page 102).
It also covers all regular examination and diploma fees.

(b) The contingent deposit is intended to cover any damage to
university property for which the student is responsible, and any fines
incurred by violating the rules of the Library. (See page 279.) It is

105

returned at the end of the session, less any charges that may have been
made against it.

From this deposit there will be deducted the sum of $2 for the
support of the chapel services and general religious work of the University,
unless within one month after registration the student shall request the
Bursar not to deduct this amount. It will be observed that this sum
(which is less than the average contribution made by the students who
have subscribed to the chapel fund in past years) is not a necessary
expense, as the support of the religious work of the University is entirely
optional. This method of collection is intended merely as a substitute for
the canvass formerly made, and it is the desire of the Faculty that the
students will thus unite with them in maintaining the religious work of
the University.

(c) 1. The special entrance examination fee of five dollars is required
of any candidate admitted to a special entrance examination, under
the provision set forth on page 83.

2. The delayed registration fee of three dollars is required of any
student who fails to register promptly at the beginning of the session or
after the Christmas recess, under the provisions set forth on page 100.

3. The re-examination fee of five dollars is required of any student
admitted to re-examination, under the provisions set forth on page 177
(the College), page 186 (the Department of Graduate Studies), and page
254 (the Department of Engineering).

II. DEPARTMENT FEES.

Under this head are comprised the charges for instruction, which
include the tuition fee, and laboratory fees. As these differ in different
departments, they are set forth below in tabular form, and for the sake
of convenience the university charges above specified are grouped with
them.

Students from Virginia.—In accordance with the statute (Virginia
Code 1887, Ch. 68, Sec. 1554), the University remits to Virginia students
in the Academic Departments the tuition fee (except in Analytical
Chemistry) and all but $10 of the university fee, and to Virginia students
in the Department of Engineering the tuition fee in those courses (except
Analytical Chemistry) which are also offered in the College, and one-half
the university fee.

In order to be considered a Virginia student, it is necessary that the
applicant's parents be domiciled in the State if he be under twenty-one
years of age; if he has attained his majority, it is necessary that he
himself be domiciled here. One is domiciled in the State who is living in

106

it at the time the application is made and has no intention of removing
therefrom in the future, or who, though absent from the State, has not
lost his former domicile by acquiring one elsewhere. No other person
can honestly avail himself of this privilege.

White Male Teachers and Superintendents of the Public Schools
of Virginia will be admitted, during the last three months of the session,
to the Academic Schools of the University without payment of fees (except
those charged in laboratory courses), upon presentation of certificates
that they have been teachers in the public schools of the State during the
year.

At the beginning of the third term any of the following courses may
be entered upon with profit by an applicant prepared for them: Latin,
Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, German, English, English Literature and
Rhetoric, Biblical History and Literature, Public Speaking, History,
Economics, Political Science, Education, Moral Philosophy, Mathematics,
Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Geology, Botany,
and Zoölogy. Special courses for teachers will be offered in English and
Mathematics, and perhaps in several other subjects during the approaching
spring term, if the demand for them is sufficient.

Applicants for admission as teachers are required to send in their
names to the President of the University not later than March fifth.

Ministerial Students.—Ministers of the gospel may attend any of the
Academic Schools of the University without payment of the tuition fee.
The same privilege will be extended to any young man who submits
testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the ministry, and unable
to meet without aid the expenses of an education at the University.

The tuition fee for each collegiate course is $25, with the addition of
the prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 for each course in
Physics and $15 for each course in Chemistry. For courses in Analytical
Chemistry, see above. Virginians are relieved of tuition in collegiate
courses. 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 charges for laboratory materials, but the student is held further
responsible for breakage.

III. BOARD AND LODGING.

A student may rent a room in one of the university dormitories, and
take his meals either in the University Commons or in an approved private

109

boarding-house; or he may take both room and board in such boardinghouse,
in which case he pays no room-rent or servant-hire to the University.
A list of private boarding- and lodging-houses, with rates, may be
had upon application to the Registrar.

The University Commons.

This building, conveniently situated near the center of the University,
provides an attractive dining hall, with accommodations for seating more
than two hundred and fifty students at one time. Board is now furnished
at $16.50 per month, and it is hoped that it will be possible to continue
this rate.

University Dormitories.

Rules.—The rules governing the rental and occupancy of rooms in the
university dormitories are as follows:

Students desiring rooms should apply to the Bursar, enclosing the
reservation fee of $5, which will be returned should there be no room to let.

The occupant of a room may reserve it for the next session, by
applying to the Bursar, and depositing $5 (which is in no case returnable),
not later than May first. The balance of the rent must be paid not
later than the first registration day of the session, otherwise such
preference or other right shall be forfeited.

No room may be sublet.

Two students may occupy a room together, each paying half of the
rent.

Rates.—All rooms are unfurnished. For a single room furniture can
be secured from the local dealers at a minimum cost of $15 for the session.

All rooms are provided with either steam or hot-water heat, electric
light, and janitor service, except where otherwise specified.

The rooms on East and West Lawn (with the exception of Bachelor's
Row), East and West Range, Dawson's Row, and Monroe Hill, are commodious
and are frequently occupied by two students.

The rates given below are for the session of nine months.

Randall Building.

The rooms in this building are assigned only to students taking board
at the University Commons, and any student occupying one of these rooms,
who fails to remain at the Commons until the end of the session, will be
required to vacate the same. The single rooms are 10 × 14, 10 × 15, 10 × 16.
The double rooms are 14 × 15, 15 × 15, 15 × 17. The study is 9′ 6″ × 11′ 6″.

APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF ALL EXPENSES.

The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate
approximations of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling expenses,
or pocket money. For each department three estimates are given,—
a low, an average, and a liberal, estimate. The difference in the three
depends on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and
laundry,—in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student.
By sharing a room with another student, and by practising the strictest
economy, a student's expenses may possibly be reduced below the low
estimate.

Student Self-Help.—Every possible opportunity for obtaining remunerative
employment is afforded to students who are desirous of helping by
this means to pay their way through the University, and it may be safely
stated that any student with sufficient resources to carry him through the
first half of the session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which
will pay his living expenses and university charges for the remainder of
the academic year. While it is difficult for any student to be assured of
remunerative work before he reaches the University, information as to
such employment may be had from the Secretary of the Committee on
Student Self-Help, Madison Hall.

For Loan Funds for deserving students, see page 123.

LECTURE FOUNDATIONS.

THE BARBOUR-PAGE LECTURE FOUNDATION.

The University of Virginia is indebted for the establishment of the
Barbour-Page Foundation to the wisdom and generosity of Mrs. Thomas
Nelson Page, of Washington, D. C. In 1907, Mrs. Page donated to the
University the sum of twenty-two thousand dollars, the annual income of
which is to be used in securing each session the delivery at the University
of a series of not less than three lectures by some distinguished man of
letters or of science. The conditions of the foundation require that the
Barbour-Page lectures for each session be not less than three in number;
that they be delivered by a specialist in some branch of literature, science,
or art; that the lecturer present in the series of lectures some fresh aspect
or aspects of the department of thought in which he is a specialist; and
that the entire series delivered each session shall possess such unity that
it may be published by the Foundation in book form.

THE JAPANESE EXCHANGE PROFESSORSHIP.

In 1911 there was founded an exchange professorship between the
United States and Japan for the promotion of a better mutual understanding
between the two nations. Sharing in this foundation are the
following six American universities: Yale University, Columbia University,
the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Virginia, the University
of Illinois, the University of Minnesota. By the terms of the
foundation, each of the above six universities will be visited every other
session by a professor from some one of the imperial educational institutions
of Japan, who will give a short course of lectures, treating some
aspect or aspects of Japanese life. In the alternate years the six American
universities forming the foundation will send a similar representative to
Japan.

THE SOUTHERN EXCHANGE LECTURESHIP.

In 1914 an exchange lectureship was established by Vanderbilt University,
the University of North Carolina, the University of South Carolina,
and the University of Virginia. Under the terms of this lectureship,
each university will send a lecturer to, and will be visited by a lecturer
from, one of the other universities participating in the lecture foundation.
Each lecturer will lecture before the classes in the subject in which he is
a specialist, and will in addition deliver one or more public addresses, at
the university to which he is sent.
