The Academic Schools comprise the Schools of Languages, Literature,
Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Astronomy, History, Economics, Philosophy,
Education, Journalism, and Public Speaking. In the undergraduate courses
of these Schools is comprised the work of the College, leading to the degrees
of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science; in the graduate courses is
comprised the work of the Department of Graduate Studies, leading to the
degrees of Graduate in a School, Master of Arts, Master of Science, and
Doctor of Philosophy.
A full statement of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts
and Bachelor of Science will be found under the College (pages 153-158); of
the requirements for the other academic degrees, under the Department of
Graduate Studies (pages 161-162).
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 signification:
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, under the conditions set forth on page 150.
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
natural sciences, which, unless otherwise stated, have a credit-value of six
session-hours, each.

The Purpose of the School of Education.—In the rapid development of
educational science and the resulting attention given to the improvement of
the several phases of public education, it is important that all who are interested
in the growth of this great agency of democracy, generally or professionally,
be given ample opportunity to study its underlying principles,
to administer public-school affairs require instruction and training in the
scientific principles and in the technique of their calling. The study of
the principles, ways and means of formal education is incumbent on all
citizens who earnestly seek an intelligent and conscientious balloting on
public school affairs. For these reasons the courses in the School of
Education aim to supply the needs of the two classes of citizens referred to.
Besides those courses which, as contributing toward a liberal education,
may be advantageously included in programs of study leading to the cultural
academic degrees (see pp. 156-157), the School of Education offers a
wide range of courses for the professional training of teachers and public
school administrators. One curriculum is offered leading to the degree of

same basis as in regular courses, provided that not more than one and one-half
session-hours of credit shall be given for the work in any course for
one year.
Recommendation of Teachers.—The recommendation of teachers is in
charge of the Bureau of Appointments, through which positions are secured,
not only for students in the School of Education, but for other students
who are known to be fitted to fill 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. Correspondence in regard to this matter
may be addressed to the Bureau of Appointments, University, Virginia.

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.
For the sake of first-hand access to important modern authorities in Latin
and French.
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; introduction to Latin historical grammar; systematic grammar;
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 palaeography,
epigraphy, numismatics, topography and remains. 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.—Friday,
Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh.

THE COLLEGE
| EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, Ph.B., D.C.L., LL.D. | President |
| JAMES MORRIS PAGE, M.A., Ph.D., LL.D. | Dean |
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
The general requirements for admission to the University may be found
on page 76. For admission to the College, the candidate should possess an
amount of preparation which is at least the equivalent of that represented
by four years of successful work in an accredited school. He must offer,
either by certificate or by examination (see page 78), fifteen units, of
which three must be in English, two and one-half in Mathematics, and one
in History. The remaining eight and one-half units may be selected at will
from the list on page 77, unless the candidate expects to apply for a baccalaureate
degree. In that case he should offer, if he is an applicant for the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, four units in Latin or two units in Greek; if he
is an applicant for the degree of Bachelor of Science, four units in two modern
languages (French, German, Spanish). For definitions of the entrance
units, see pages 80-89.
Advanced Standing is given to any candidate who, in addition to meeting
the minimum requirements for entrance above stated, can show by passing
an examination that he has done work equivalent to that 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 in no case
fall below the standard of seventy-five per cent. The final 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-eight session-hours
of work done elsewhere, and any candidate who receives this
maximum amount of credit can count among the remaining fifteen session-hours
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. For the conditions upon which college
credit is granted for work done in the Summer School, see p. 235.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance must offer fifteen units
as defined by the Southern Commission on Accredited Schools. At least
thirteen of the units offered must be included in the list of units accepted
for admission on p. 77. A student not able to offer fifteen units as defined
in this list may be conditioned 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. No conditioned student may be later registered as a special student.
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.
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 at least
fifteen session-hours, except by special permission of the Academic Faculty.
This number may be increased in the following cases:
(1) First-year students may take eighteen session-hours, provided (a)
three of these be in Greek 1, Greek 2, German 1, French 1, or Spanish 1; or
(b) the student in question is credited with six hours of advanced standing.
(2) Other than first-year students may take eighteen session-hours,
provided (a) the student has passed in the preceding session courses aggregating
fifteen session-hours, or (b) the student is in his graduating year and
needs eighteen session-hours for his degree. In the latter case the special
permission of the Academic Faculty must be obtained.
(3) Other than first-year students may take twenty-one session-hours,
provided they have passed in the preceding session courses aggregating fifteen
Under no circumstances shall a student take more than twenty-one session-hours.
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 15.
An applicant for a degree who fails on a single term of not more than
one of his courses during the last year of his candidacy is entitled to a special
examination before Final Day on the work of that term, and will receive
credit for the course, provided the result of this special examination entitles
him to a grade of seventy-five per cent for the term in question, considered
independently and without reference to his grade for the other two terms.
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 fifty per cent will be dropped from
the rolls.
Any first-year student whose average grade for any term is fifty 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 if he again
fails to attain for the current term a grade of sixty-five per cent in at least
one of his courses, he will be dropped from the rolls.
Any student other than a first-year student whose average grade for
any term is fifty per cent or more, but who attains in no one of his courses
a grade of seventy-five per cent, will be put on probation for the term next
ensuing, and if he again fails to attain for the current term a grade of
seventy-five per cent in at least one of his courses, or sixty-five per cent in
at least two of his courses, he 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.
Advisers.—To each first-year student is assigned, before his registration
is completed, a member of the Faculty as his adviser, whose acquaintance
touching his work or his life as a student of this university.
Change of Subjects of Study after registration is completed can be
made only with the consent of the student's adviser and of the professors
concerned.
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
such penalties as his professors may impose, or, in serious cases, to faculty
discipline. No student, who has, for any reason, been absent from more
than fifty per cent of the lectures of any one term, can receive a grade
on the work of that term.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness on
the day of the 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.
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. Preliminary reports on attendance and class-standing are made on
November 4 to the parent or guardian of every first-year student. 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
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 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 is given (see p. 235). For credit for
work done at other colleges, see p. 150.
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.

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 their successful
prosecution. 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 Examination 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
between himself and the professor in charge.
Change of Subjects of Study after registration 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 which a candidate has offered as part of the work credited
for baccalaureate degree (pp. 156-157) 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 government, 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. 156), 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. 157), 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
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
(see p. 161), 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.
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 15 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. 98-104.
Applicants for 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).

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 1809-10, 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 in 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
privileges of the general University Library, containing more than ninety
thousand volumes, without extra charge.
The Virginia Law Review.—Under the title of The Virginia Law Review,
the undergraduate students of the Law School conduct a law journal
devoted to the discussion of general questions of American jurisprudence.
Review is now in its fourth volume. From its inception it has maintained
a high standard of excellence, and a worthy rank among the leading law
journals of the country.
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 incomparable advantages, while those without
such training are likely never to rise above mediocrity in their profession.
The experience of the Law Faculty—indeed, 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 or college 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
fifteen units, of which three must be in English and one in History.
Notice is given that an additional requirement of one year of work in a
standard college will become effective with the beginning of the session of
1919-20.
The Subjects accepted for Admission and their values in units are given
in tabulated form on page 168. 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 1 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 of 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 devoted to the course, and
the dates of the examinations; and must give the candidate's grades in percentages.
full year of high-school work, including five periods a week 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.

Special Students.—An applicant who is at least 23 years old, and who
presents proper evidence of good character, and of needful maturity and
training, though unable to fulfill the foregoing entrance requirements, may,
by special action of the Law Faculty, in exceptional cases, be admitted as a
special student, and not as a candidate for the degree.
Every applicant for admission as a special student shall make written
application to the Dean of the University, on a blank furnished for the
purpose, with detailed information as to his age, general habits, his educational
and business experience, and his general fitness to undertake the
study of law. Such application, together with such testimonials as may be
required, must be filed with the Dean of the University not later than September
1 of the year in which the applicant desires to enter the Law School.
may be waived.
Every such applicant for admission as a special student must pass a
satisfactory examination, to be held at the University during the registration
days of the session. The examination, which will be conducted by a
committee of the Law Faculty, may include the subjects of English, American
and English History, and Civil Government.
This regulation is subject to the general university regulation as to
delayed entrance examinations.
Special students who fail to complete 60 per cent of the work taken
during any session may be declared ineligible for re-admission the following
session.
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 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 on
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, without satisfactory excuse, 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 several courses have advanced at the time of his
entrance; and credit for three years' attendance cannot be secured unless the
student is in actual residence at least thirty weeks per session. No registration
in absentia is permissible.
Expenses.—The necessary expenses of a student in the Department of
Law may be estimated at $425 per session of nine months. This minimum
estimate includes all university and tuition fees, board, lodging, washing
and books. An average estimate would be $500 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 attendance of at least thirty weeks a year, exclusive of holidays, is
essential to graduation.
Plan of Instruction.—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
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 recent enlargement of the course gives opportunity
for more emphasis on 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.
Practical Work.—In the course on 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 encountered in actual litigation. In the course
on Legal Bibliography and Brief Making, an intimate acquaintance with
law books and skill in their use are secured by oral and written quizzes, and
finally by practical tests; and briefs on assigned topics are required to be
prepared according to rigorous standards. Much practical work is done in
the headnoting of cases on scientific principles.
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. See table, p. 177.
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. 179.
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 15 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.
For the session of 1915-16 this prize was awarded to Eugene Silver Williams,
whose essay was entitled Leading Questions on the Examination of Witnesses.
DEPARTMENT OF LAW.
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 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 work done in any course without
proper registration therefor.
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 Dean, and will be charged a special
registration fee of three dollars.
4. Exchange or Omission of Courses.—After registration 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 student 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 attendance
on such subjects the following session—provided the exercise of this
privilege does not reduce his lecture periods below nine per week, nor
infringe Regulation 5.
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 150 periods, or, in
lieu thereof, a grade of 75 per centum on courses aggregating 200 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 may be prescribed.
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. 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
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.
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; or whose habits are a menace to the good order of the Law
School.

Requirements for Admission to the Department of Medicine.—Applicants
for admission to the Department of Medicine are required to furnish
evidence of the completion of a four-year course at a recognized public or
private high-school, 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 at an approved institution of collegiate rank of
two years of work aggregating thirty session-hours. This college course must
include a year's work in each of the following subjects: English (rhetoric,
composition, and literature), mathematics (solid geometry and trigonometry),
inorganic (general) chemistry, physics, biology, and either
German or French.
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.
A student otherwise qualified may be admitted conditioned upon one
subject, the condition to be removed before admission to the second year
of the medical course; but no condition may be allowed in chemistry,
English, or mathematics, nor will any condition be allowed in German
or French, unless the student has satisfactorily completed one year of
college work or two years of high-school work in the language (i. e., the
equivalent of German 1 or French 1 in the College of this university).
The modern language (German or French) course must be based
upon two years of high-school work in that language or its equivalent;
but a candidate may absolve the requirement in this subject by demonstrating
on examination the possession of a satisfactory reading knowledge
thereof. The modern language requirement may, in exceptional cases, be
waived in the case of college graduates by special vote of the faculty.
A year's work in general biology, zoölogy, or botany will be regarded
as satisfying the requirement in biology. Zoölogy is considered preferable
to botany, and it is desirable that the course should include the dissection
of a mammal.
Further information concerning the character of these requirements
and forms for certificates may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the
Department of Medicine.
In planning the two-year college work, students are advised to take
English, mathematics, biology, and a modern language during the first
year; and to take physics and chemistry during the second year. This
arrangement of studies is advised because mathematics should precede
physics, and it is desirable to avoid the lapse of a year between the general
chemistry of the college and the organic and physiological chemistry of
the first year of the medical curriculum. Students who have completed
general chemistry and who have one more year of college work for entrance
analytical, physical, or organic chemistry) during their last year in college.
Limitation of Numbers and Reservation of Places in the First-Year
Class.—The number of studies in the first-year class is limited to thirty-six.
Reservation of a place, if desired by the applicant, can be made beforehand
on the conditions hereinafter described.
Those intending to enter the Department of Medicine are advised
to ascertain at once by correspondence with the Dean of the Department
of Medicine whether their high-school and college courses entitle them to
admission to the first-year class. For this purpose there may be obtained
from the Dean a blank form on which the necessary information may be
entered in full.
At the time of registration, applicants will be registered in the order
in which they present themselves, until all vacancies are filled. Applicants
who have not made reservations, as described below, are therefore advised
to apply for registration at 9:00 o'clock of the first day of registration
(September 13, 1917).
Any applicant whose record, certified to by the proper official of the
college last attended, has been endorsed by the Dean of the Department
of Medicine as entitling him to admission to the first-year class may
at any time before the registration period have a place reserved for him
until 12:00 noon of the first day of registration by depositing with the
Bursar the sum of $50.00 in part payment of the tuition fee of the first
year. A reservation so made can be cancelled only in exceptional cases.
In case a student who has obtained a reservation fails to register, the
deposit of $50.00 will be forfeited to the University unless, in case of illness
or other providential cause, the Dean of the Department of Medicine
directs that it be returned.
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.
The number of hours assigned to the laboratory subjects is quite large
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
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 Out-Patient Department
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 out-patient department 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 3,000 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 a special examination. Failure to take or to pass this examination
is equivalent to a record of "failed." The record "conditioned"
equivalent cause approved by the faculty.
A student may be conditioned on any examination because of failure
to maintain a resonable standard of English composition.
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
by the instructors in charge at this university, he may continue as a
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
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
at the time of entrance of the class to which the applicant seeks admission.
2. The presentation of a certificate of honorable dismissal from the
school last attended.
3. The presentation of the complete record of the student in the school
previously attended, on blanks to be obtained from the Dean of the Department
of Medicine. This record will be submitted to the action of
the Faculty Committee on Advanced Standing and the admission of the
student together with the terms of admission will be determined by this
committee.
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 are admitted to
these examinations by the Committee on Advanced Standing.
The Fall Examinations for 1917-1918 begin September 10 and close
September 15. Students entitled to admission to these examinations will
be informed of the date of examination by the Dean.
Expenses.—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 of Organic and Physiological Chemistry a deposit of
$10 is required to cover cost of breakage.
Combined Degrees in Arts (or Science) and Medicine.—Students who
have credit for the forty-eight session-hours of the group electives required
in this university for the cultural baccalaureate degrees in arts and science
may substitute for twelve session-hours of electives-at-large the first-year
course in the Department of Medicine and receive the degree of Bachelor
of Arts or Bachelor of Science at the end of the year.
The University also offers a course leading to the vocational degree of
Bachelor of Science in Medicine. This course includes two years of group
electives in academic subjects followed by the first two years of the
medical course. Since the academic group electives satisfy the entrance
requirements of the Medical Department, students who can spend only
two years in college before entering upon the study of medicine are advised
to plan their work so as to secure this degree.
For further information regarding these degrees, see pp. 157 and 158 of
the General Catalogue of the University.
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, 1918. 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
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 1; twelve hours weekly
from November 1 to the end of the second term. This course begins with
a systematic study of the bones, on the completion of which a part is
assigned to each student for dissection and study. On the completion of
this course and Anatomy 3 each student has dissected a lateral half of the
body. The student obtains his knowledge at first hand and by his own
personal efforts. The satisfactory performance of the laboratory work is
essential to a passing grade. Dr. Bean and Dr. Baker.
Anatomy 2.—Six hours weekly during the third 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.
Fresh brains and series of sections of the cord and brain are
thoroughly used. Dr. Bean and Dr. Baker.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the first and second terms. This course aims to acquaint
the student with the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs.
Cytogenesis and histogenesis are briefly considered in the case of many
tissues studied. The relation of histology to physiology and pathology is
constantly kept in view. The student is also given opportunity to acquaint
himself with the principles and practice of histological technique.
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, assisted by Mr. Pagenstecher.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the third term. The laboratory
work (six hours weekly) with sections and dissections of mammalian
embryos, is supplemented by lectures, recitations, and the study of models.
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. Dr. Jordan, assisted by Mr. Pagenstecher.
Organic Chemistry.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly, laboratory
work six and eight hours weekly, respectively, during the first and second
terms. This course includes the systematic study of organic chemistry,
with special reference to substances of importance in their relation to
in Physiological Chemistry, Pharmacology, etc.
During the second term the laboratory work includes quantitative
determinations of immediate importance in Physiological Chemistry, such
as the estimation of sugar, total nitrogen, uric acid, ammonia, etc.
A record of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to Physiological Chemistry. Dr. Edgar and Dr. Pratt.
Physiological Chemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations and nine hours
of laboratory work weekly during the third term. The structure, properties
and reactions of the more important compounds which the student meets
in his subsequent medical study. The laboratory work, continuing that
of Organic Chemistry, includes the study of fats, soaps, fatty acids, and
proteins; blood, milk, bile; the digestive enzymes, and extensive qualitative
and quantitative work on urine.
A grade of seventy per cent. on this course is required for admission
to Physiology. Dr. Hough and Dr. Pratt.
SECOND YEAR.
Anatomy 3.—Ten hours weekly through the first and second 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. In addition, a course is given in topographic
anatomy, with the aid of cross sections of the human body. At the end of
this course a practical examination is given, covering the work of Anatomy
1, 2 and 3. Dr. Bean and Dr. Baker.
Physiology.—Four hours work weekly of lectures, recitations and demonstrations
throughout the year. Six hours weekly of laboratory work in the
first and second terms. The physiology of muscle and nerve; blood and
lymph; the circulation; respiration; secretion; digestion and nutrition, and
the central nervous system. The work of the laboratory closely follows the
lectures as an integral part of the study of each subject.
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, assisted by Mr. Setzler and Mr. Strange.
Bacteriology and Pathology.—Twelve hours weekly throughout the session
and two additional hours a week in the third term. The work in pathology is
open only to students who have obtained a record of passed in Histology.
Bacteriology and pathology are taught in a combined course. Emphasis
is laid upon the medical and public health aspects of bacteriology.
Practical studies in infection and immunity form part of the course. Autopsies
and the study of gross and microscopic specimens supply the practical
work accompanying the systematic study of pathology.
Opportunity is given selected students for advanced work. Dr. Marshall
and Dr. Smith, assisted by Mr. Gilmore and Mr. Hawthorne.
Pharmacology.—Five hours of lecture, recitations and demonstrations and
is made of the chemical characteristics and physiological action of representative
drugs from the different pharmacological groups. An average
grade of seventy per cent. on the first two terms of Physiology together
with the satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of Physiology is
required for admission to the course. Dr. Waddell, assisted by Mr. Setzler
and Mr. Strange.
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 third term. Instruction
is given in the principles and methods of physical examination.
Attention is especially given to study of the normal subject. Dr. Flippin
and Dr. Magruder.
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 preparations of the Pharmacopeia, together with newer
non-official remedies which bid fair to attain or have attained considerable
use, form the subject of study. In the laboratory the student 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, assisted
by Mr. Anderson.
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, assisted by Mr. Anderson.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the first and second terms.
In this course the student is made familiar with those laboratory methods
which are helpful in the diagnosis of disease. These include, among others,
the examination of blood, urine, sputum, gastric contents, feces, spinal
fluid, exudates and transudates. Instruction is given in the recently completed
Clinical Laboratory in the north pavilion of the hospital, which is
well equipped with the most modern instruments and apparatus. Dr. Bray.
Theory and Practice of Medicine.—Three hours weekly of lectures and
recitations throughout the session; nine hours weekly in the clinics for one-half
the session. A systematic course of lectures, supplemented by work in the
out-patient department and hospital. The class is divided into two sections,
out-patient department, and also twice a week receive instruction on selected
cases in the wards of the hospital. There is a general medical clinic once a
week in the hospital amphitheater. Dr. Davis, Dr. Flippin, Dr. Magruder,
Dr. Nelson and Dr. Gage.
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 out-patient department 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 thoroughly
discussed. This also includes the surgical specialties, orthopedics, genito-urinary
surgery, etc.
The out-patient department 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 out-patient department affords practice
in palpation, diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Watts, Dr. Goodwin, Dr. Neff,
Dr. Woodberry and Dr. Wright.
Obstetrics.—Five 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. These records are considered in the final grading of the
student.
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 first 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 second 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 may best be
encountered. The principles of infant feeding are emphasized and the
student is taught how to prepare the food. Dr. Davis and Dr. Rea.
Dermatology.—A brief course of lectures is given on this subject, embodying
a consideration of the commoner diseases met with in medical practice.
Case Teaching, Medical Ethics and Economics, and Insurance Exam-
inations.—Two hours weekly during the third term. Dr. Davis.
Therapeutics.—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 bedside teaching of this subject,
the student being required to follow closely and make a record of the
results of the therapeutic agents employed in cases assigned to him. 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 bedside demonstrations
in the hospital. In the wards the students are assigned cases, whose
histories they must take. They must also 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, complications, 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 the recording of 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, Dr. Goodwin, Dr.
Neff, Dr. Woodberry and Dr. Wright.
In addition to the above course, required of all students, the following
elective course is offered in the Department of Surgery.
Surgical Pathology.—An optional course. Two hours weekly during one-half
of the session.
This course is intended to supplement the general courses in Pathology
demonstrations of fresh tissues obtained from the operating rooms, and
examination of microscopic sections.
The student reviews pathological technique and frozen section work
is emphasized. Dr. Goodwin.
Clinical Pathological Conferences.—One hour weekly is assigned for
the study of pathologic material in connection with the clinical aspects of
cases coming to autopsy. A history of the case is presented by the student
in charge, the autopsy is reviewed, the tissue and microscopic sections are
examined, and all the information thus derived is collated and contrasted.
Dr. Marshall.
Obstetrics.—The student attends, under the guidance of an instructor,
the labor 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 labor. 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 session and clinical lectures to sections of the
class as suitable cases occur.
The class is divided into small sections and each student is taught the
methods of examination and the use of the opthalmoscope, 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. Dr. Hedges and Dr.
Compton.
Hygiene.—Three hours weekly throughout the session.
The course begins with a historical sketch of the developments 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.
The 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, to which have been added up to
the present time three additional units of three stories each. The central
building is largely devoted to administrative purposes and general service
departments, but also contains an amphitheater and suite of private operating
rooms, sterilizing and anesthetizing rooms. The three pavilions are connected
with the main building by corridors on each floor. In these are
located the wards and suites of rooms for private patients. As at present
constituted the hospital has a capacity of about 200 beds; of these, upwards
of 160 are available and used for clinical teaching.
The recently completed north pavilion contains, in addition to quarters
for ward and private patients, on the first floor, a specially designed
series of laboratory rooms, which have been equipped with new and
modern furnishings and apparatus throughout. The basement floor is
devoted in large part to the Out-Patient Department of the Hospital. Here
separate waiting rooms for white and colored patients are provided, examining
rooms for medical cases, operating rooms for minor surgery, specially
equipped rooms for genito-urinary and orthopedic surgery and for the
treatment of the diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. On the same
floor is the Roentgen Ray Department of the Hospital.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the hospital with its associated
Out-Patient Department, constitutes a most valuable adjunct to
the teaching facilities of the Department of Medicine. The size of the
clinic permits the presentation of a wide variety of cases, and the organization
of the hospital as an integral part of the Medical Department affords
exception facilities for thorough study of the individual case.
The location of the University Hospital is a most favorable one, being
situated at the intersection of two great railway trunk lines near the geographical
center of the State. A large population outside of the city of
Charlottesville is available as a source of clinical material, both in the
wards and the out-patient department. The hospital is thus enabled to
serve a large area of the State, and the transportation facilities are such
that this service includes a progressively increasing number of emergency
cases and cases of acute illness.

Commodious and well-equipped quarters for the treatment of ambulant
cases are provided in the north pavilion of the hospital and the service is
conducted under the direct personal supervision of members of the teaching
staff of the Medical Department. Clinics are held three times a week
for general medical, surgical and genito-urinary diseases, which are attended
by students of the third year; and twice weekly for the diseases of
the eye, ear, nose and throat, attended by students of the fourth year.
The character of the equipment of this department and its location in
the hospital makes possible the use of most advanced methods in the diagnosis
and treatment of cases, and the systematic and thorough examination
of each case is thus emphasized at the very outset of the student's clinical
experience.
An out-patient obstetrical service and provision for attendance in the
home of certain cases of illness by the student under the supervision of an
instructor are a part of the organization of this department.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
For admission to the Freshman Class in the Department of Engineering
the candidate must be at least sixteen years old. He must present a certificate
of honorable withdrawal from the school last attended, or other
valid proof of general good character. He must further satisfy the Dean of
the University as to his adequate preparation for the work by passing the
Entrance Examinations specified below or by the presentation of equivalent
certificates of preparation signed by the President of a recognized institution
of collegiate rank, or by the Principal of an accredited high school.
The topics required for entrance and their values in units are as follows,
the unit being one year's work on the subject in an accredited high school;
| English A.—Grammar and Grammatical Analysis | 1 |
| English B.—Composition and Rhetoric | 1 |
| English C.—Critical Study of Specimens of Literature | 1 |
| Mathematics A1.—Algebra to Quadratics | 1 |
| Mathematics A2.—Quadratics, Progressions, Binomial Formula | 1 |
| Mathematics B.—Plane Geometry | 1 |
| Mathematics C.—Solid Geometry | ½ |
| Mathematics D.—Plane Trigonometry | ½ |
| History.—Ancient; Mediæval; English; American; (any one) | 1 |
| Electives | 7 |
| Total | 15 |
High school students who expect to study Engineering are advised to
include among their electives Physical Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical
Drawing, and Shop-work (valued at one unit each). Other electives
which may be offered are History of English and American Literature
(1 unit), History (4 units), Latin (4 units), Greek (3 units), German (4
units), French (4 units), Spanish (4 units), Botany (half unit), Zoölogy
(half unit).
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 A1, A2, or B.
A candidate may be admitted as a Special Student, without formal examination,
provided he is more than twenty years old, and gives evidence
of serious purpose and of fitness to pursue with profit the courses for which
he is registered. No special student may be a candidate for any degree.
No conditioned student may register later as a special student.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY.
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. Programs 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 programs. 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 by special order 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 independent
study suited to the student's especial course and aims. After 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 25. 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.
Upon the completion of the four years' course as defined in any one
of the Programs of Study and the presentation of an acceptable graduating
standing the appropriate degree of Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer,
Electrical Engineer, Chemical Engineer, or Mining Engineer.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
The Subjects of Instruction in Engineering are grouped into nine

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) | 120 | 80 |
| Living Expenses (for nine months) | 250 | 250 |
| Books and Drawing Materials | 20 | 20 |
| Incidental Expenses (for nine months) | 45 | 45 |
| Total for average conditions | $475 | $415 |
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 charges
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 charges payable on entrance are the University fee, the contingent
deposit of $10 and the tuition and laboratory fees.
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 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.
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. Class standing is estimated
at 20 points; the written examination at 80 points.
7. No student who fails to maks 75 on term-grade 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 causes. 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.
ADVANCED STANDING.
Under the elective system of the University of Virginia a student
who has 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 professors 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 grades on them were not below 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.
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,
however, technical dexterity is demanded, the graphical method is taught
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.
SHOPS.
The machine shop is provided with six 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 & 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 emple supply of 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.
MECHANICAL LABORATORY.
Strength of Materials.—The Sinclair Laboratory for work in testing
structural 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 a Riehle
100,000-lb. machine, arranged for tensile, compressive, and transverse tests,
with an attachment for taking autographic diagrams; an Olsen 100,000-lb.
machine; an Olsen torsion machine of 50,000-inch-pounds capacity; a

all the required small apparatus.
Fuel and Oil Testing.—For the determination of the heating value
of coal, petroleum, etc., the laboratory has an Emerson bomb calorimeter.
For gas calorimetry, a Junker calorimeter made by the American Meter
Co. is used. For investigating the coefficient of friction of lubricants,
the laboratory has an Olsen-Cornell Oil Tester, and is further equipped
with such small apparatus as flash and chill point testers, hydrometers,
viscosimeters, etc., used in the determination of the physical properties
of oils.
Steam Testing.—The laboratory equipment is designed to illustrate
the theory involved in Mechanical Engineering, to give practical instruction
in the handling of machinery, and to teach the fundamental methods
of experimental work. It contains a Ball high-speed engine; a De Laval
turbine with condensing and non-condensing nozzles, which is directly
connected to a 25 kw. alternating current generator; an Otto gasoline
engine with a special piston for alcohol; a Wheeler surface condenser to
which the exhaust from any of the steam units may be connected; a steam
pump; steam traps, etc. For boiler tests, the boilers of the University
Heating and Lighting Plant are used.
The instrument room contains all necessary apparatus for carrying
out complete tests. Among this may be mentioned indicators, thermometers,
gauges, planimeters, with standards for their correction and calibration;
an Orsat apparatus; separating and throttling calorimeters, etc.
FIELD AND LABORATORY WORK IN CIVIL ENGINEERING.

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
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.
The apparatus for tests of Bituminous Road Materials includes the
New York Testing Laboratory penetrometer, the Kirschbaum 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.
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 courses of instruction in this topic
and brought them together into the Spring Term, so as to form a Special
Course in Highway Engineering for the benefit of young men from Virginia,
who wish to go into public highway work. To such Virginians, if
adequately prepared and recommended, free scholarships will be given.
Application should be made to the Dean, accompanied by recommendations
from the State Highway Commissioner or from the Board of Supervisors
of the applicant's county.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY.
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 three-phase alternating current 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, this laboratory 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-Brodhum
screen, the Carey-Foster Bridge and others. For the work in machine-testing
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.
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 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 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
of graduate students.
The new Chemical Laboratory will be opened for use in September,
1917. In this fire-proof structure all the work in Chemistry will be
assembled. The floor area provided will be about 30,000 square feet. The
lecture-rooms will seat classes of 300, 75 and 25 students. The laboratories
assigned to General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Qualitative Analysis,
Quantitative Analysis, and Physical Chemistry will contain 110, 60, 40, 30,
and 20 desks. Altogether by dividing classes into sections 600 students
may be accommodated. Smaller private laboratories will be provided for
research workers. Large stock rooms communicating by elevators with
the several floors will contain ample stores of chemical supplies. The
resources of the valuable Chemical Museum belonging to the University
will be for the first time adequately displayed. The 5,000 volumes of books
and bound sets of journals constituting the Department Library of Chemistry
will be so housed as to be accessible to both teachers and students.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The session will begin Tuesday, June 19, and close Thursday, August 2,
1917. Tuesday, June 19, will be devoted to the registration of students. All
students should register on this day. No certificate will be granted to
students who fail to register before Tuesday, June 26.
FEES.
For Non-Virginia Students.—A single registration fee of fifteen 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 Students.—Students from Virginia who are not teachers
or preparing to teach next session will be charged the same tuition as nonVirginia
students.
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. To meet local expenses the State Board of Education has
fixed a registration fee of $1.00 for a four weeks' term and $1.50 for a six
weeks' term for all the Summer Schools of the State, and these fees will be
charged here. There are a few special courses offered to meet certain demands
but not necessary for certificate credit, for which fees will be charged. The
fee for each is designated in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory courses
will also be charged all students who register in them.
CREDITS
Certificates will be granted in each course of 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 students 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 issued by a state superintendent
or a state board of examiners, and approved in advance by the
Department of Public Instruction of Virginia, will be recognized as a proper
basis for professional work.
Teachers from other States will receive credit for all work done at the
University Summer School in accordance with the certificate regulations of
those States from which they come.
The following general conditions must be fulfilled by all applicants
before they can enter upon the work for the Summer-School Professional
Certificate Advanced Grade, or High-School Grade. 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 Summer-School Professional Certificate—High School Grade, entitles
the holder to teach all the elementary branches, but only the high-school branches
named in the certificate.
General Requirements.—The courses prescribed in any of the branches
hereinafter stated for the Summer-School Professional Certificate—High-School
Grade, must embrace no work unless it be of College Grade, requiring
minimum recitation periods of sixty minutes each. These courses must
be taken in a summer school at a registered college or university and must
be completed within a period of three years from the date of beginning. In
all cases a statement of each professor under whom the course is pursued,
to the effect that the applicant is highly proficient in his branch must accompany
the final report.
The following "Content Table" gives the number of hours or recitation
periods required in each branch, and in addition thereto the applicant must
complete a course of thirty hours in educational psychology and the principles
of teaching.
This certificate shall continue in force for seven years, and may be
renewed for a similar period from time to time.
N. B.—This course must not be given at any school in Virginia unless
it is specially mentioned and advertised in its literature; no supposedly equal
