STUDENT ACTIVITIES.
THE VIRGINIA UNION.
The Virginia Union was recently organized with a membership of several
hundred students for the purpose of directing and co-ordinating student activities
that are not athletic in character. It conducts infercollegiate contests in
debating and oratory and takes charge of lectures, concerts, and entertainments
that are dependent upon student patronage. Its present officers are: Francis
S. Harmon, President; David C. Wilson, Vice President; Arnold R. Boyd,
Recording Secretary and Financial Manager; Nicholas E. Oglesby, Corresponding
Secretary; Harold A. Sparr, Auditor; who are student members of
the Executive Board with Charles W. Paul, Treasurer; Armistead M. Dobie;
and Lindsay Rogers as faculty members.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Connected with the University are two literary societies of long standing—
the Jefferson Society and the Washington Society. At weekly meetings in their
respective halls, they hold debates and practice extemporaneous and other forms
of public speaking. Each society annually offers gold medals for excellence
in debating and oratory, and each organization contests for intersociety prizes.

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

William Joseph Parrish, Jr.
THE VIRGINIA LAW REVIEW.
Under the title of The Virginia Law Review the undergraduate students
of the Law Department conduct a journal devoted to the discussion of general
questions of American jurisprudence. Eight numbers are issued annually, from
October to May inclusive. The 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.
RELIGIOUS WORK.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED,
William Newton Neff, M.A., General Secretary.
Object.—The Young Men's Christian Association of the University of
Virginia has the distinction of being the oldest organization of its kind in
existence. It was founded October 12, 1858, and has today a larger proportionate
membership than that in any other State university in America. The purpose
of the Association is to promote growth in Christian fellowship among its
members and enlist them in Christian work for their fellow students and for
others not connected with the University. The Association actively promotes
the moral, social and spiritual life of the University.
Work.—The Association organizes classes for the voluntary study of
the Bible, of Home and Foreign Missions, and of Social Work, under the leadership
of students and members of the Faculty; maintains a weekly meeting held
on Tuesday evening at 7:30; assists through its membership the work of the
Churches and Sunday Schools in the vicinity of the University; sends deputations
of students to various preparatory and high schools in the State; supports
a representative in the Foreign Field; maintains a medical clinic in the Blue
Ridge Mountains; invites eminent Christian workers to address the students on
religious matters; and stimulates social intercourse among the students by means
of receptions, lectures, entertainments and other social events.
Equipment.—Through the munificence of Mrs. William E. Dodge and
family, of New York City, the Association possesses a very handsome and
beautiful building, which was erected at a cost, including furnishings, of about
$80,000, and which is maintained by an endowment fund of over $16,000, subscribed
by students, alumni, and friends of the University.
This building, called "Madison Hall" in honor of President Madison, who
was so intimately connected with the early history of the University, faces the
north front of the Rotunda. It contains an editorial room for the college
publications, a reception room, reading room, meeting room, parlor, pool room,
office, writing room, auditorium, guest room, bed rooms for the officers, and
rooms for the Bible and Missionary departments of the Association. In addition
there are a kitchen, a club room, where dinners may be served, lockers, and
elaborate shower baths. A library of nearly a thousand volumes of the best
religious works and fiction has been donated by a member of the Dodge family.
The tennis courts, nineteen in number, for the use of the students of the
University, are on the Association grounds immediately in the rear of the
building.
Help for New Students.—The Association publishes during the last
week of August a Handbook of useful information concerning the University
and community, and also a detailed report of the religious work of the session.
The General Secretary will gladly send either of these publications, or give any
students are invited to come to Madison Hall as soon as they reach the
University, and to make use of the Information Bureau which the Association
conducts, including a complete boarding-house register, a directory of the
students, and a list of the various forms of employment open to students.
The boarding-house list, with locations and prices, is not made up until
the first week in September. It is suggested that new students arrive a day or
two before the session opens, so that they may choose a boarding place for
themselves and get well settled before their work begins. All correspondence
with regard to rooms in the University dormitories should be directed to the
Bursar.
Membership.—The membership of the Association consists of two
classes, active and associate: any member of an evangelical church, who wishes
to take some part in the work of the Association, may become an active member
of the Association; any young man of good moral character may become an
associate member. The annual fee is $2.00 for all members, an extra charge
being made for the use of the baths, lockers, pool tables, and tennis courts.
Indorsement.—The Rector and Visitors and the Faculty of the University
heartily commend the work of the Association, and it is earnestly desired
that every parent or guardian see to it that the student under his care be
encouraged to join the Association soon after his arrival at the University.
CHAPEL SERVICES.
Through the voluntary gifts of students and members of the Faculty, religious
services are provided at the University Chapel every Sunday morning, except
the first Sunday in each month, when the men are left free to attend the
communion services of their respective churches. There are also occasional Sunday
evening services either at the Chapel or at Madison Hall. The speakers include
some of the most distinguished members of the clergy and laity of Virginia and
adjacent states. This plan, which takes the place of the Chaplain system used
in former years, is under the supervision of the Faculty Committee on Religious
Exercises.
A complete list of preachers to the University for 1916 will be found on
page 28.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
| Daniel Carter Taylor | Assistant Instructor in Physical Training |
| William Alexander Lambeth, M.D., PhD. | Director of the Gymnasium |
| Henry Haden Lannigan | Associate Director of Athletics |
| John Spottswood Graves, M.A. | Instructor in Physical Training |
The method of instruction pursued does not follow blindly any so-called
system, but proper attention is given to all methods which in whole or in
part have proved useful or effective. The importance of individual training
is in every case recognized, especially where an examination discloses
the student's inability to pursue with safety or profit general or concerted
exercises.
Students are entitled, without cost, to a thorough physical examination
by the director, and are urged to avail themselves of this privilege soon after
they enter the University. The examination includes an accurate measurement
of the student's physical proportions, a careful examination of
the condition and action of the heart and lungs, and the strength of the
principal muscular groups. Upon the basis of the facts thus ascertained,
advice is given as to particular exercises and the use of various developing
appliances. The examination is repeated at intervals, note is taken
of any improvement, and new exercises are suggested.
In addition to individual work, daily instruction is given to classes in
light gymnastics—marching, figure-running, calisthenics, dumb-bells, and
clubs—adapted as nearly as possible to the needs of individuals of varying
age and physical condition. The exercises are gradual and progressive, commencing
with the simplest movements and proceeding to others more complicated
and difficult.
During the winter months instruction in gymnastics which require great
strength and agility is given to those who are fitted for it by previous
training. This work is terminated by an annual gymnastic tournament,
held usually in the early part of March.
The faculty regulations on athletics require that members of the university
athletic teams shall give evidence of satisfactory physical condition
by passing in doubtful cases a strength test, in addition to the regular
physical examination. For members of the football teams, 1,300 points are
required, for members of the baseball team, 1,100 points.
The points are reckoned as follows: Strength of back in pounds,
strength of legs in pounds, strength of chest in pounds, strength of forearms
in pounds (pressure), added to one-tenth of the weight (in pounds),
multiplied by the number of times the body is lifted by the upper arms.
The Fayerweather Gymnasium, the gift of Daniel Fayerweather, of
New York, is a handsome and commodious structure situated on the
eastern slope of Carr's Hill. The first floor contains a spacious exercise hall,
with apparatus for light and heavy gymnastics, a one-twentieth mile concave-inclined
running track, a visitor's gallery, lavatory, trophy room, and
various offices. The basement floor is concrete throughout and contains
hot and cold baths (needle, shower, spray, tub, and plunge), bowling-alleys,
ball-cage, boiler-room, lockers, locker-room, and dressing-rooms. The building
is heated by hot water, ventilated by airshafts, registers and sky-lights,
and lighted by gas and electricity.
The gymnasium is open from 8:00 A. M. to 7 P. M. every day except
Sunday. Attendance is voluntary and is free of cost to every student.
Classes are held at hours which do not conflict with other university duties.
Degree Credit for Physical Training.—Beginning with the session of
1917-1918 there will be offered a course in Physical Training and Hygiene
which will have a credit-value of three session-hours of electives-at-large
toward the several baccalaureate degrees (see pp. 156-158). The course will
consist of a very limited number of lectures supplemented by a large amount
of physical exercise taken under scientific direction in the gymnasium or in
the field. A complete announcement will be made at the beginning of the
session, setting forth the content of the course, method of instruction,
name of the lecturer, and schedule hours.
ATHLETICS.
The Athletic Park contains twenty-one acres, and includes two athletic
fields, Lambeth Field and Lefevre Field, as well as a driving park, set with
trees and hedges, and containing the site for the proposed Athletic Clubhouse,
which is now in process of erection. Two hundred thousand surface
feet have been perfectly graded, drained and fenced, for football, baseball,
and track work. This surface was completed at a cost of about ten thousand
dollars, and involved the removal of forty-eight thousand cubic yards of
earth. A concrete stadium has been erected, seating eight thousand persons.
Games and sports of all kinds are under the special direction of the General
Athletic Association, a student organization whose object is to encourage
this phase of physical exercise. The Faculty, by means of its Committee
on Athletics, exercises a general advisory control, endeavoring to foresee
and avert dangerous tendencies or excess in physical exercise, while giving
to the students, as far as possible, entire liberty of management. A strict
supervision is maintained over the character of intercollegiate games, and
the number of these which may be played away from the University is
definitely limited.
REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL FACULTY CONCERNING
ATHLETICS.
1. The Faculty Committee on Athletics is intrusted with the general
oversight of athletics, and is authorized to forbid any features in these
exercises which endanger the health or morals of the participants, and to
foster the true spirit of amateur sport among them.
2. No student shall play upon the university athletic teams except
responsible expert officer of the University, acting in his stead and by
his request and with the approbation of the Director).
3. Only students who act as regular or substitute members of the
athletic teams will be granted leaves of absence to accompany them on
trips away from the University.
4. Special reports may be made to the President from time to time
by any departmental faculty with respect to the class-standing and progress
in study of each regular and substitute player on the athletic teams, and
if the President and such faculty are convinced that his class-standing is
discreditable, such student may be required to sever his connection with
such team.
5. The athletic teams shall not have contests elsewhere than upon the
university grounds with any teams except those from other institutions of
learning.
6. To be eligible for an intercollegiate athletic contest an applicant
must be a bona fide student who is pursuing a course of at least ten
hours of undergraduate work or a course of study certified by the proper
faculty authority.
7. Before any student can take part in any intercollegiate contest,
he shall make application in a prescribed form in writing to the Faculty
Committee on Athletics, and secure the endorsed approval of his application
from the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Faculty Athletic
Committee to have the executive officers of the University endorse such
application to the effect that the applicant is a registered student of the
University.
8. It shall be the duty of the Faculty Committee on Athletics to inquire
into and make a record of the athletic experiences of the applicant, who
shall appear before the committee and answer on his honor such questions
as the committee may see fit to ask.
9. It shall be the duty of the Faculty Committee on Athletics, before
it endorses an application, to require of the applicant a written pledge,
certifying on his honor that he has never accepted directly or indirectly
remuneration, compensatory gift, valuable consideration or the promise
thereof, for or on account of his athletic services, and that he is in the
proper and strict sense of the word an amateur athlete.
10. No student shall participate in any intercollegiate football, baseball,
basketball or track contest during his first college year, and in no
case shall a student be eligible for these teams unless he shall have been
a resident student for at least six months.

basketball or track contests for four sessions, consecutive or not, is eligible;
provided, that his total time of participation in these sports shall not include
more than five college years.

teaching or administrative services shall be eligible for the university teams.
13. It shall be the duty of the President of the Athletic Association, the
Executive Committee of that Association, the Manager and the Captain of
the team concerned, the Director of the Gymnasium, the Associate Director
of Athletics, and the Treasurer of the Association, to furnish on request
a statement to the effect that each member of an athletic team is above
their suspicion as to his eligibility to represent the University as a proper
amateur player, before such player shall be allowed to take part in any
contest.
14. No coach, not an alumnus, and no trainer, not an officer of the
University, shall be employed for the purpose of instructing or training any
athletic team in this university.[1]

of intercollegiate games with such colleges only as express a general
conformity with the code of rules adopted by this faculty.

Universities of North Carolina and Virginia.

in the publication of the American Sports Company.
To the list of professional teams thus proscribed shall be added all
league teams in any State or States, which the leading university of such
State or States declares professional, and from which it debars its own
players.
21. The term "college" as used in the Faculty Regulations concerning
Athletics is hereby interpreted to mean any college named in Table 28 of
the Report of the U. S. Commissioner of Education of 1902, which has not
less than 150 male students of at least collegiate grade recorded in the
catalogue of the institution in question as students of the session preceding
the applicant's entrance into this university.
In case such catalogue fails to distinguish between students of collegiate
and preparatory grade, the president of the college concerned shall be
requested to render or to authorize an official statement as to the number
of college students.
22. The term "substitute" is interpreted to mean a student who has
taken part in an intercollegiate contest.

is interpreted by the Faculty to mean conformity in regard to period of
residence, maximum period of eligibility and amateur standing.
The Faculty Committee on Athletics may permit the employment of coaches other
than alumni for a period not exceeding two weeks for any one individual during any one
season. But in no case shall such coach be in responsible charge of the team.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
The University of Virginia Philosophical Society represents an important
phase of the scientific interest and life of the University. It is divided into three
sections: Scientific, Humanistic and Medical. These bodies meet regularly
throughout the session and in their meetings papers representing the research
of the members are read and discussed. General discussions of scientific progress
are frequent. An annual meeting of the General Society is held once a
year in the spring at which the officers for the following year are elected and
reports are made on the year's work. The Society publishes its Proceedings
and Transactions. The President during the present year is Professor C.
Alphonso Smith, the Secretary, Professor Llewelyn Hoxton.
THE COLONNADE CLUB.
Incorporated in October, 1907, the Colonnade Club was formed to increase
the efficiency and welfare of the University of Virginia by promoting cordial
and friendly relations and desirable co-operation among its teaching and administrative
staff, and, so far as possible, to assist the University to keep in touch
with its alumni and its alumni to keep in touch with the University and with
each other, to the end that the loyalty of the alumni to the institution might be
developed and strengthened.
At this writing, the resident membership of about 120 includes most of the
teaching staff and administrative officers, together with a number of local alumni
and friends of the University. The number of non-resident alumni members is
considerable.
The addition of the "Alumni Annex," the erection of which was largely
rendered possible by the Club's contributions, materially helps to make it the
center of the alumni life of the University and provides a commodious, attractive
and comfortable building with chambers sufficient, ordinarily, to accommodate
all returning alumni, where they will be sure of a welcome, and with
the University Commons nearby, will feel at home. The rooms will be ready
for use without formality, and ordinarily without notice (rate, $1 a day; light,
heat, attendance and use of bath). Largely through the Club's influence, more
alumni are revisiting the University than ever before, both singly and in class
reunions. The Club is also proving useful as a headquarters for visiting educators
and other influential visitors at the University.
In accordance with an arrangement, effected in June, 1916, between the Club
and the General Alumni Association, the annual dues of non-resident members
of the Club who are also members of the General Alumni Association have been
reduced from $4 to $2.50, and such non-resident members are entitled to all the
rights of resident members, including the right to vote when present at meetings
of the Club. On the other hand, non-resident members of the General Alumni
that "card holders" of the Club enjoy.
The Club's non-resident dues for those who are not members of the General
Alumni Association are $4 a year; or this rate may be commuted to $25 for ten
years or $50 for life.
The present officers are: Raleigh C. Minor, President; Howard Winston,
Treasurer; Russell Bradford, Secretary; Raleigh C. Minor, William M. Forrest,
J. Sharshall Grasty, Robert H. Webb, James H. Dillard, Walter S. Rodman, and
Llewelyn G. Hoxton, Board of Governors.
