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.

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 for
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If the candidate's major 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 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 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
palœography (Johnston, supplemented by Thompson), epigraphy (Lindsay,
supplemented by Egbert and Cagnat), numismatics (Gnecchi, supplemented
by Hill), topography and remains (Platner, Petersen, Huelsen, Mau, Strack,
Furtwængler).
III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history—
reading of authors illustrating the development of Roman civilization—
study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history (Philippson, Nissen,
Mommsen, Marquardt-Mommsen, Wissowa, Preller-Jordan, Springer-Michaelis
and Winter, Schanz, Windelband, Sandys).
Friday, Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh, Adjunct
Professor McLemore.
Aids.—For the sake of first-hand access to important modern authorities
in Latin philology, the candidate is required to have a good reading
knowledge of German and French.

The courses of this grade vary from year to year, ranging over the
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.

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.
