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, organization
and most practical applications. Those who aim to teach or 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.
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.

in which they occur; the collection of fossils, plaster casts, maps, etc., is
exceptionally fine, and fully illustrates historical geology. In mineralogy the
principles of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits of specimens,
models of crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals contains all the
important species, and many of the rarer ones, in good specimens. In addition
to the above, a beginning has been made of a collection to illustrate the geology
and mineralogy of the State of Virginia, and this is being increased as rapidly

philology, the candidate is required to have a good reading knowledge of German
and French.

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;

SCHOOL OF PHYSICS.
Professor Hoxton.
Associate Professor Sparrow.
Mr. Hiden.
Mr. Nalle.
A laboratory fee of five dollars is charged for Physics C1 and C2.
For Undergraduates and Graduates.
Physics C1: General Physics, Selected Topics: Physics B1 and Mathematics
B1 prerequisite.—The work in the class room emphasizes the general
principles of dynamics and their application to physical problems, special attention
being given to the properties of matter and thermodynamics. The laboratory
work develops the basic principles of accurate measurement. Laboratory work,
six hours per week.—Hours by appointment. Rouss Physical Laboratory. Associate
Professor Sparrow.
Physics C2: Electricity and Optics: Physics B1, with the addition of
either Physics C1, Mathematics B2, or Mathematics B3, prerequisite.—Electricity
is given during the first half year, optics during the second. The elements of the
mathematical theory and outlines of important modern conceptions are given in
the lectures. In the laboratory, especial attention is paid to methods of measurement.—Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday, 8.30-9.30. Laboratory work, four to six
hours per week, Tuesday and Thursday, 2.30. Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Professor Hoxton.
For Graduates.
The following courses vary from year to year, ranging over the more
important fields of Physics in a cycle of about three years. Physics C2 and
Mathematics C1 constitute a sufficient preparation for all these courses, and
at least one of these will be necessary. For students not fully prepared in both
mathematics and physics a conference with the professor will be necessary to
determine which courses can be undertaken with profit.
Physics D1: Theory of the Potential and Allied Topics.—Deals with
those branches of mathematical physics which depend on the solution of partial
differential equations. Associate Professor Sparrow. Offered for 1918-1919.
Physics D2: Advanced Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory of Gases:
The mathematical theory and an account of the state of experimental knowledge
of the subject. Professor Hoxton. Given in 1916-1917.
Physics D3: Dynamics: A general course in dynamics, including hydrodynamics
and the theory of elasticity. Associate Professor Sparrow. Given in
1916-1917.
Physics D4: Conduction of Electricity through Gases: Chiefly the
experimental side of the subject.—Hours by appointment. Professor Hoxton.
Associate Professor Sparrow. Offered for 1918-1919.
Physics D5: Theory of Electrons, Electromagnetic Theory of Light:
The mathematical theory and an account of the state of experimental knowledge
of the subject. Associate Professor Sparrow.
Journal Meeting: The faculty and advanced students in physics and
astronomy meet once a week for the presentation and discussion of current
research. The students, as well as the professors, take an active part in the
presentation of these reports.
The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, characterized
throughout by structural stability. The rooms are abundantly lighted, while
some may be darkened for optical experiments. There is a general distribution
includes an exceptionally complete collection of demonstration apparatus, and
a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory instruction. In addition to
this, there is a special line of electrical and optical instruments, a 21½-foot concave
grating with Rowland mounting, photographic dark room, liquid air plant
and storage battery, and an instrument shop for the repair and construction of
physical instruments. For advanced work in some lines, the facilities offered
are excellent.
SCHOOL OF ROMANIC LANGUAGES.
Professor Wilson.
Adjunct Professor Bardin.
Adjunct Professor Kerr.
Mr. Wofsy.
For Undergraduates and Graduates.
French C1: French B1, and one other B course in the School of Romanic
Languages, prerequisite.—Conducted in French. The tendencies of modern
French fiction; French life, with a general survey of the nineteenth century.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 10.30-11.30. Cabell Hall. Professor Wilson.
