STUDENTS' LITERARY ACTIVITIES.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Connected with the University are two literary societies of long standing—
the Jefferson Society and the Washington Society. At weekly meetings in their
respective halls, they hold debates and practice extemporaneous and other forms
of public speaking. Jointly they form the Congress of the Debating Union
and follow a procedure similar to that of the national House of Representatives.
Each society annually offers gold medals for excellence in debating and oratory,
and each organization contests for intersociety prizes.

THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA MAGAZINE.
Founded 1838.
The University of Virginia Magazine, designed to encourage literary work
among the students, is published by the students with the advisory assistance
of the Linden Kent Memorial School of English Literature, and appears at
monthly intervals eight times during the session.
As a stimulus to literary activity, the Magazine offers every year three
medals: One for the best poem, one for the best short story, and one for the
best essay, of student authorship, appearing in one of the numbers of the publication.
The awards are made by alumni committees, one committee for each of
the three medals.

RELIGIOUS WORK.
I. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED.
| Whitefield Walton Brockman, B.A., | General Secretary. |
Object.—The Young Men's Christian Association of the University of
Virginia has the distinction of being the oldest organization of its kind in
existence. It was founded October 12, 1858, and has today a larger proportionate
membership than that in any other State university in America. The purpose
of the Association is to promote growth in Christian fellowship among its
members and enlist them in Christian work for their fellow students and for
others not connected with the University. The Association actively promotes
the moral, social and spiritual life of the University.
Work.—The Association organizes classes for the voluntary study of
the Bible, of Home and Foreign Missions, and of Social Work, under the leadership
of students and members of the Faculty; maintains a weekly meeting held
on Tuesday evening at 7:30; assists through its membership the work of the
Churches and Sunday Schools in the vicinity of the University; sends deputations
of students to various preparatory and high schools in the State; supports
a representative in the Foreign Field; maintains a medical clinic in the Blue
Ridge Mountains; invites eminent Christian workers to address the students on
religious matters; and stimulates social intercourse among the students by means
of receptions, lectures, entertainments and other social events.
Equipment.—Through the munificence of Mrs. William E. Dodge and
family, of New York City, the Association possesses a very handsome and
beautiful building, which was erected at a cost, including furnishings, of about
$80,000, and which is maintained by an endowment fund of over $16,000, subscribed
by students, alumni, and friends of the University.
This building, called "Madison Hall" in honor of President Madison, who
was so intimately connected with the early history of the University, faces the
north front of the Rotunda. It contains an editorial room for the college
publications, a reception room, reading room, meeting room, parlor, pool room,
office, writing room, auditorium, guest room, bed rooms for the officers, and
rooms for the Bible and Missionary departments of the Association. In addition
there is a kitchen, a club room, where dinners may be served, lockers, and
elaborate shower baths. A library of nearly a thousand volumes of the best
religious works and fiction has been donated by a member of the Dodge family.
The tennis courts, nineteen in number, for the use of the students of the
University, are on the Association grounds immediately in the rear of the
building.
Help for New Students.—The Association publishes during the last
week of August a Handbook of useful information concerning the University
session. The General Secretary will gladly send either of these publications, or
give any further information desired, upon application of any prospective student.
New students are invited to come to Madison Hall as soon as they reach
the University, and to make use of the Information Bureau which the Association
conducts, including a complete boarding-house register, a directory of the
students, and a list of the various forms of employment open to students.
The boarding-house list, with locations and prices, is not made up until
the first week in September. It is suggested that new students arrive a day or
two before the session opens, so that they may choose a boarding place for
themselves and get well settled before their work begins. All correspondence
with regard to rooms in the university dormitories should be directed to the
Bursar.
Membership.—The membership of the Association consists of two
classes, active and associate: any member of an evangelical church, who wishes
to take some part in the work of the Association, may become an active member
of the Association; any young man of good moral character may become an
associate member. The annual fee is $2.00 for all members, an extra charge
being made for the use of the baths, lockers, pool tables, and tennis courts.
Indorsement.—The Rector and Visitors and the Faculty of the University
heartily commend the work of the Association, and it is earnestly desired
that every parent or guardian see to it that the student under his care be
encouraged to join the Association soon after his arrival at the University.
II. CHAPEL SERVICES.
Through the voluntary gifts of students and members of the Faculty,
religious services are provided at the University Chapel every Sunday morning,
except the first Sunday in each month, when the men are left free to attend
the communion services of their respective churches. There are also occasional
Sunday evening services either at the Chapel or at Madison Hall. The speakers
include some of the most distinguished members of the clergy and laity of
Virginia and adjacent states. This plan, which takes the place of the Chaplain
system used in former years, is under the supervision of the Faculty Committee
on Religious Exercises.
A complete list of preachers to the University for 1915 will be found on
pages 31-32.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
| William Alexander Lambeth, M.D., Ph.D. | Director of the Gymnasium |
| Henry Haden Lannigan | Associate Director of Athletics |
| John Spottswood Graves, B.A. | Instructor in Physical Training |
The method of instruction pursued does not follow blindly any so-called
system, but proper attention is given to all methods which in whole or in part
have proved useful or effective. The importance of individual training is in
every case recognized, especially where an examination discloses the student's
inability to pursue with safety or profit general or concerted exercises.
Students are entitled, without cost, to a thorough physical examination by
the director, and are urged to avail themselves of this privilege soon after they
enter the University. The examination includes an accurate measurement of
the student's physical proportions, a careful examination of the condition and
action of the heart and lungs, and the strength of the principal muscular groups.
Upon the basis of the facts thus ascertained, advice is given as to particular exercises
and the use of various developing appliances. The examination is repeated
at intervals, note is taken of any improvement, and new exercises are
suggested.
In addition to individual work, daily instruction is given to classes in light
gymnastics—marching, figure-running, calisthenics, dumb-bells, and clubs—
adapted as nearly as possible to the needs of individuals of varying age and
physical condition. The exercises are gradual and progressive, commencing
with the simplest movements and proceeding to others more complicated and
difficult.
During the winter months instruction in gymnastics which require great
strength and agility is given to those who are fitted for it by previous training.
This work is terminated by an annual gymnastic tournament, held usually in
the early part of March.
The faculty regulations on athletics require that members of the university
athletic teams shall give evidence of satisfactory physical condition by passing
in doubtful cases a strength test, in addition to the regular physical examination.
For members of the football teams 1,300 points are required, for members of
the baseball team, 1,100 points.
The points are reckoned as follows: Strength of back in pounds, strength
of legs in pounds, strength of chest in pounds, strength of forearms in pounds
(pressure), added to one-tenth of the weight (in pounds), multiplied by the
number of times the body is lifted by the upper arms.
The Fayerweather Gymnasium, the gift of Daniel Fayerweather, of New
York, is a handsome and commodious structure situated on the eastern slope
the best and most approved developing appliances, as well as with apparatus for
light and heavy gymnastics, a one-twentieth mile concave-inclined running track,
a visitor's gallery, lavatory, trophy room, and various offices. The basement
floor is concrete throughout and contains hot and cold baths (needle, shower,
spray, tub, and plunge), bowling-alleys, ball-cage, boiler-room, lockers, lockerroom,
and dressing-rooms. The building is heated by hot water, ventilated by
airshafts, registers, and sky-lights, and lighted by gas and electricity.
The gymnasium is open from 8 A. M. to 7 P. M. every day except Sunday.
Attendance is voluntary and is free of cost to every student. Classes are arranged
at such hours as not to conflict with other university duties.
ATHLETICS.
The Athletic Park contains twenty-one acres, and includes two athletic
fields, Lambeth Field and Lefevre Field, as well as a driving park, set with trees
and hedges, and containing the site for the proposed Athletic Clubhouse, which
is now in process of erection. Two hundred thousand surface feet have been
perfectly graded, drained, and fenced, for football, baseball, and track work.
This surface was completed at a cost of about ten thousand dollars, and involved
the removal of forty-eight thousand cubic yards of earth. A concrete
stadium has been erected, seating eight thousand persons.
Games and sports of all kinds are under the special direction of the General
Athletic Association, a student organization whose object is to encourage
this phase of physical exercise. The Faculty, by means of its Committee on
Athletics, exercises a general advisory control, endeavoring to foresee and avert
dangerous tendencies or excess in physical exercise, while giving to the students,
as far as is possible, entire liberty of management. A strict supervision is maintained
over the character of intercollegiate games, and the number of these
which may be played away from the University is definitely limited.
REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL FACULTY CONCERNING
ATHLETICS.
1. The Faculty Committee on Athletics is intrusted with the general oversight of
athletics, and is authorized to forbid any features in these exercises which endanger the
health or morals of the participants, and to foster the true spirit of amateur sport among
them.
2. No student shall play upon the university athletic teams except after physical
examination by the Director of the Gymnasium (or by a responsible expert officer of the
University, acting in his stead and by his request and with the approbation of the Director).
3. Only students who act as regular or substitute members of the athletic teams will
be granted leaves of absence to accompany them on trips away from the University.
4. Special reports may be made to the President from time to time by any departmental
faculty with respect to the class-standing and progress in study of each regular and
substitute player on the athletic teams, and if the President and such faculty are convinced
that his class-standing is discreditable, such student may be required to sever his connection
with such team.
5. The athletic teams shall not have contests elsewhere than upon the university grounds
with any teams except those from other institutions of learning.
6. To be eligible for an intercollegiate athletic contest an applicant must be a bona
fide student who is pursuing a course of at least ten hours of undergraduate work or a
course of study certified by the proper faculty authority.
7. Before any student can take part in any intercollegiate contest, he shall make
application in a prescribed form in writing to the Faculty Committee on Athletics, and
secure the endorsed approval of his application from the Committee. It shall be the duty
of the Faculty Athletic Committee to have the executive officers of the University endorse
such application to the effect that the applicant is a registered student of the University.
8. It shall be the duty of the Faculty Committee on Athletics to inquire into and
make a record of the athletic experiences of the applicant, who shall appear before the
committee and answer on his honor such questions as the committee may see fit to ask.
9. It shall be the duty of the Faculty Committee on Athletics, before it endorses an
application, to require of the applicant a written pledge, certifying on his honor that he
has never accepted directly or indirectly remuneration, compensatory gift, valuable consideration
or the promise thereof, for or on account of his athletic services, and that he
is in the proper and strict sense of the word an amateur athlete.
10. No student shall participate in any intercollegiate football, baseball, basketball
or track contest during his first college year, and in no case shall a student be eligible for
these teams unless he shall have been a resident student for at least six months.
11. No person who has participated in intercollegiate football, baseball, basketball
or track contests for four sessions, consecutive or not, is eligible; provided, that his total
time of participation in these sports shall not include more than five college years.
12. No student who is receiving from the University remuneration for teaching or
administrative services shall be eligible for the university teams.
13. It shall be the duty of the President of the Athletic Association, the Executive
Committee of that Association, the Manager and the Captain of the team concerned, the
Director of the Gymnasium, the Associate Director of Athletics, and the Treasurer of the
Association, to furnish on request a statement to the effect that each member of an
athletic team is above their suspicion as to his eligibility to represent the University as
a proper amateur player, before such player shall be allowed to take part in any contest.
14. No coach, not an alumnus, and no trainer, not an officer of the University, shall
be employed for the purpose of instructing or training any athletic team in this university.[1]
15. The Faculty Committee on Athletics is directed to assume responsible charge of
the details of the athletic situation and to permit the playing of intercollegiate games with
such colleges only as express a general conformity with the code of rules adopted by this
faculty.
16. The members of any athletic team may be allowed not more than eight days'
leave of absence from the University for the purpose of engaging in athletic contests; but
no student who is a member of more than one athletic team shall be allowed more than
sixteen days' leave of absence during the entire session for such purpose.
17. Not more than four days' leave of absence from the University shall be given to
those First Year Athletic teams which are regularly organized by the General Athletic
Association.
18. The football team is permitted to play games only on the home grounds of one of
the contestants, with the exception of the Thanksgiving Day game with the University of
North Carolina in Richmond, which may be continued until such time as can be agreed
upon by the authorities of the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia.
19. "Training Tables" for football, baseball, basketball and track teams are hereby
abolished.
20. No student of this university shall be eligible for any athletic team who has
played upon, or been a member or substitute member of any of the professional or league
teams named in Classes A, B, C, and D, in the publication of the American Sports
Company.
To the list of professional teams thus proscribed shall be added all league teams in
any State or States, which the leading university of such State or States declares professional,
and from which it debars its own players.
21. The term "college" as used in the Faculty Regulations Concerning Athletics is
hereby interpreted to mean any college named in Table 28 of the Report of the U. S.
Commissioner of Education of 1902, which has not less than 150 male students of at
least collegiate grade recorded in the catalogue of the institution in question as students
of the session preceding the applicant's entrance into this university.
In case such catalogue fails to distinguish between students of collegiate and preparatory
grade, the president of the college concerned shall be requested to render or to
authorize an official statement as to the number of college students.
22. The term "substitute" is interpreted to mean a student who has taken part in
an intercollegiate contest.
23. The term "general conformity," as used in the Faculty Regulations, is interpreted
by the Faculty to mean conformity in regard to period of residence, maximum period of
eligibility and amateur standing.
The Faculty Committee on Athletics may permit the employment of coaches other
than alumni for a period not exceeding two weeks for any one individual during any one
season. But in no case shall such coach be in responsible charge of the team.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
The University of Virginia Philosophical Society represents an important
phase of the scientific interest and life of the University. It is divided into three
sections: Scientific, Humanistic and Medical. These bodies meet regularly
throughout the session and in their meetings papers representing the research
of the members are read and discussed. General discussions of scientific progress
are frequent. An annual meeting of the General Society is held once a
year in the spring at which the officers for the following year are elected and
reports are made on the year'`s work. The Society publishes its Proceedings
and Transactions. The President during the present year is Professor C.
Alphonso Smith, the Secretary, Professor Llewelyn Hoxton.
THE COLONNADE CLUB.
Incorporated in October, 1907, the Colonnade Club was formed to increase
the efficiency and welfare of the University of Virginia by promoting cordial
and friendly relations and desirable co-operation among its teaching and administrative
staff, and, so far as possible, to assist the University to keep in
touch with its alumni and its alumni to keep in touch with the University and
with each other, to the end that the loyalty of the alumni to the institution might
be developed and strengthened.
At this writing, the resident membership of about 120 includes most of
the teaching staff and administrative officers, together with a number of local
alumni and friends of the University. The number of non-resident alumni
members is considerable. The privileges of the Club are extended to all nonresident
alumni who have paid their annual dues to the General Alumni Association.
The addition of the "Alumni Annex,." the erection of which was largely
rendered possible by the Club's contributions, materially helps to make it the
center of the alumni life of the University and provides a commodious, attractive
and comfortable building with chambers sufficient, ordinarily, to accommodate
all returning alumni, where they will be sure of a welcome, and with
the University Commons nearby, will feel at home. The rooms will be ready
for use without formality, and ordinarily without notice (rate $1 a day; light,
heat, attendance and use of bath). Largely through the Club's influence, more
alumni are revisiting the University than ever before, both singly and in class
reunions. The Club is also proving useful as a headquarters for visiting
educators and other influential visitors at the University.
The Club's non-resident dues are $4 a year; or this rate may be commuted
to $25 for ten years or $50 for life.
The present officers are: Thomas W. Page, President; Howard Winston,
Treasurer; Russell Bradford, Secretary; Thomas W. Page, William M. Forrest,
Beverly D. Tucker, Jr., James C. Flippin, J. Sharshall Grasty, Robert H.
Webb and James H. Dillard, Board of Governors.
