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 necessary 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.

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
Group, chosen with the approval of the professor in charge of the C course
in question.

No C course which a candidate has offered as part of the work credited
for baccalaureate degree 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, 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, 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.

Page 8

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 be required
to enter the appropriate course in one or both of these languages.
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,
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, 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.

Page 9

(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 impracticable on account of lack of
time, the candidate must deposit with the Bursar a sum of money sufficient
to have a hundred copies of the dissertation printed.

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 of
the general catalogue.

Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who are granted the
privilege of non-residence during a period 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).

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.

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,

For Graduates.

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.

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.
