ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

The general requirements for admission to the University may be found
on page 122. For admission to the College of Arts and Sciences, 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 124),
fifteen units, of which three must be in English, two and one-half in Mathematics
(one and one-half in algebra, one in plane geometry), and one in
History. The remaining eight and one-half units may be selected at will
from the list on page 123, but no credit will be given for less than two units
in any foreign language. Candidates who expect to apply for the degree of
B.S. in Architecture should offer Solid Geometry and Physics if possible.

Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry should offer
Science B (Inorganic Chemistry) and Mathematics C (Solid Geometry),
when possible.

In addition to the above, each candidate must pass at the University a
qualifying examination in English before his registration can be completed.
This examination will be held on Monday of the first week of the session.

Any student who fails to maintain a reasonable standard of English in
all of his college work will be required to take an additional course in English
composition or to repeat a course in order to make up his deficiency.

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 given sometime during the first month of his first session
that he has done work equivalent to that covered by any of the following
courses offered in the college: Latin A1, Greek A1, Greek A2, English A1
or A2 or A3, German A1, Mathematics A1, French A, Spanish A. Candidates
who apply for examination for advanced standing must present a
special certificate showing that the full content of the course, on which advanced
standing is sought, has been covered in a systematic manner in the
preparatory school, and in addition must present the specific recommendation
of the principal of the school that the candidate be admitted to the advanced
standing examination in question.

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 Department a certificate covering
the courses for which college credit is desired. 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. The final validation of such certificates is effected by the successful
completion of not less than 12 session-hours of work during his first
session. In no case will credit be given on more than forty-five session-hours
of work done elsewhere, and any candidate who receives this maximum
amount of credit can count among the remaining fifteen session-hours
required for his degree only the credit value of the courses he has passed as
a resident student in the College of Arts and Sciences, exclusive of any credit
for work done in the Summer Quarter or in any of the professional departments.
In every case the candidate must spend the last session of his candidacy,
which must be a regular session of nine months, exclusively in college
work in this university; and the courses offered as major electives must all
have been completed in residence in this University. A maximum of 15 session-hours
may be granted for one year of college work, and 33 hours for
two years.

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 page 123. A student who, while able to offer fifteen units, cannot
offer fifteen units as defined in this list, may be conditioned on any two
units not including English A, B, or C, or Mathematics A1. All conditions
should be absolved before the beginning of the session following initial registration.
This may be done by passing entrance examinations or by passing
equivalent courses in the Summer Quarter. 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 that,
if he is a Virginian, he is more than twenty years old, or, if he is not a Virginian,
he is more than twenty-three 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 Summer Quarter. 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.

Admission of Women.—Women are admitted as candidates for the vocational
degrees of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, Bachelor of
Science in Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Commerce. A candidate

must be at least twenty years old on the birthday preceding matriculation;
must present certificates showing graduation from an accredited public high
school, or not less than four years' attendance in an accredited private school,
with credit for not less than fifteen college entrance units obtained at least
two years before admission to the University; and must in addition show by
proper certificate the completion in a standard college, subsequent to the
credit obtained for fifteen entrance units of at least thirty session-hours
(sixty semester-hours), of courses of college grade, in not less than eighteen
calendar months.

REGULATIONS

(1) 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.

(2) Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each college
student is required to undertake each session courses aggregating at least
fifteen session-hours (with the exception noted under Probation below). This
number may be increased in the following cases:

(I) Any first-year student may take eighteen session-hours, provided
he is credited with six session-hours of advanced standing.

(II) A student not in his first year in the College of Arts and Sciences
may take eighteen session-hours, provided he (a) has passed in the preceding
session or in the third term thereof courses aggregating fifteen session-hours,
or (b) is in his graduating year and needs eighteen session-hours
for his degree.

(III) A student not in his first year may take twenty-one session-hours
provided he passed in the preceding session or in the third term thereof
courses aggregating eighteen session-hours.

(IV) Any student whose term grade (or class grade, if the term grade
is not available) for the first or second term is at least 75 per cent. in each
of his courses, may take three additional session-hours for the ensuing term.

Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special permission
of the Committee on Rules and Courses.

Physical Training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.

(3) Grade.—The grade of a college student in 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. For

passing in any course in the college a grade of seventy-five per cent. is required.

(4) Exclusion from Courses, Probation and Suspension.

(I) Exclusion from Courses:

A student who, after due admonition, is evidently making no real progress
in a course, may, at any time during the session, be excluded from the
course by the Dean upon the recommendation of the instructor concerned.

A student whose term grade in a course is less than 65 per cent., or who
discontinues the course without the permission of the Dean, or who is absent
without excuse from the term examination, will be automatically excluded
from the course.

(II) Probation:

(1) A student placed on 15-hour probation must pass on at least 6 session-hours
of his work and average at least 60 per cent. on all his courses
or else be suspended from the College of Arts and Sciences. A student placed
on 15-hour probation who attains an average grade of at least 70 per cent.
on all his courses, is absolved from probation.

(2) A first-year student on 12-hour probation must make an average of
at least 65 per cent. on all of his courses, or else be suspended from the
College. Any other student on 12-hour probation must pass on at least 6
session-hours of his work and average at least 65 per cent. on all his courses,
or else be suspended from the College. A student on 12-hour probation
whose average grade on all his courses is at least 75 per cent., may take up
3 additional session-hours and be absolved from probation.

(3) A first-year student on 9-hour probation must make an average of
at least 70 per cent. on all his courses, or else be suspended from the College.
Any other student on 9-hour probation must pass on 6 session-hours
of his work and average at least 70 per cent. on all his courses, or else be
suspended from the College. A student on 9-hour probation whose average
grade on all its courses is at least 75 per cent., may take up 3 additional
session-hours and be placed on 12-hour probation for the term next ensuing.
A student on 9-hour probation who passes on all his courses may take up 6
additional session-hours and be absolved from probation.

(III) Suspension:

Suspension means enforced withdrawal from the College. If imposed
during the session, it applies to the remainder of the regular session; if imposed
at the end of the session, it applies to the whole of the subsequent session.
In no case does it apply to the Summer Quarter. See also (6) below.
No student suspended for a second time may re-enter the College.

(IV) Probation and Suspension are administered as follows:

(1) A student who by exclusion from a course or courses is left at the
end of the first or second term with only 12 session-hours, is put on 12-hour

probation[1] for the term next ensuing, unless his average grade on the remaining
12 second-hours is at least 75 per cent. In this case he may take
up 3 additional session-hours and escape probation. A first-year student excluded
from a course under (1) during the first term, however, is not to be
put on probation during the rest of the first term. At the end of the first
term such a student is to be on the same footing as regards probation as is
a student who made less than 50 per cent. on one of his courses at the end
of the first term.

(2) A student who by exclusion from a course or courses is left at the
end of the first or second term with only 9 session-hours, (a) will be put on
9-hour probation,[2] unless his average grade on his remaining 9 session-hours
is at least 75 per cent., in which case he may take up 3 additional session-hours
and be put on 12-hour probation, or, (b) if he be other than a first-year
student he will be suspended unless he has passed on at least 3 session-hours.

(3) Any student not in his first year, who by exclusion from a course
or courses is left at any time during the session with only 6 session-hours,
will be suspended at the end of the term. Any first-year student left with
only 6 session-hours will be suspended at the end of the term unless he has
passed on at least 3 session-hours. In this case he will be required to take
up 3 additional session-hours and be put on 9-hour probation for the ensuing
term.

(4) Any student not on probation who fails to attain a third-term
grade or a session grade of at least 75 per cent. on at least 9 session-hours
of his work, will be put on 15-hour probation for the first term of the subsequent
session. A student who is permitted to withdraw from the University
during the session will be readmitted on 15-hour probation if, at the
time of his withdrawal, he was (a) on probation, or (b) passing on less than
9 session-hours of his work. A student previously suspended will, if readmitted
to the College, be placed on 15-hour probation.

(5) No student may remain on probation for more than three terms,
whether consecutive or not, in his entire college course. If his record is such
as to call for the imposition of probation for a fourth time, he will be suspended
instead of being placed on probation.

(6) Probation or suspension imposed at the end of the regular session
may be absolved by the successful completion of prescribed work in the
Summer Quarter.

(7) No student on probation may receive a leave of absence, except for
imperative cause, nor may such a student be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as athletic teams,
musical clubs, student publications, etc.

(5) Absence from Examinations will not be excused, except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused
absence is counted as a total failure.

A student excused from more than one-half of his term examinations
on account of illness may not be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as the athletic teams, musical
clubs, student publications, etc., until he has passed his examinations.

No student may remain in the College if he misses all the examinations
of two consecutive terms on account of illness.

(6) Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with (5) above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date during the regular session to be arranged between himself
and the professor in charge of the examination.

(7) Re-Examinations.—(I) 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
re-examination 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 re-examination is five dollars, and it should be paid to the
Bursar on or before July fifteenth.

(II) The candidate for the academic degree who fails on only one of
his courses during his final session of candidacy is entitled to a special reexamination
on the work of that course before the final day, provided that
he average at least 65 per cent. on the work of the three terms, and provided
the professor in charge recommends that the candidate be granted a re-examination.
The professor in charge is to decide whether the candidate is
to stand a re-examination upon the whole course, or upon some portion or
portions of the course. No fee is charged for such re-examination.

It should be carefully noted, in connection with both (I) and (II)
above, that no student is entitled to more than one re-examination on a
given course without repeating the course.

(8) 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 on each
course. The dean will be glad at any time to furnish to the proper person
a special report on any student's standing.

In addition to the above, a report on the standing of each first-year
student in the College is sent to the student's parent or guardian early in
November.

(9) Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of
the University, whether he be within the precincts or not. Drunkenness,

gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may
dismiss from the University for the residue of the current session every
student found guilty of them, or may administer such other discipline as
seems best under the circumstances.

The president will dismiss from the University every student convicted
of public drunkenness.

In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first be
informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity of
explanation and defense.

The keeping of dogs by students within the University grounds is forbidden.

(10) Voluntary Withdrawal.—Voluntary withdrawal from the University
requires the written consent of the Dean of the University as well as
the consent of the student's parent or guardian, if he is a minor. Any student
who withdraws without permission will be recorded as having been
suspended for the residue of the current session. No student on probation
may withdraw except for imperative reasons; and any student on probation
who withdraws without permission will be suspended, not only for the residue
of the current session, but also for the whole of the subsequent session.

(11) Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted for habitual delinquency in class,
habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents the student from fulfilling
the purposes for which he should have come to the University. See
also suspension, above.

(12) Change of Studies.—No change can be made in a student's program
of studies except with the written consent of the Dean, together with
official notification by the Registrar. No permit for change of courses will
be issued after the end of the first week of each term, except that first-year
students may make such changes within the first two weeks after the beginning
of lectures in September. Any student who drops a course without
permission will receive a grade of zero in that course; and no credit may
be received for any portion of a course attended before formal permission
has been granted as outlined above.

(13) (a) 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 attended
after the absence. Unexcused absence from lectures renders the student
liable to discipline by the Faculty.

It should be carefully noted that no student is "entitled" to be absent
at all. His presence is required at each class or laboratory exercise at which
he is due, unless his absence is excused for reasons outlined above or in the
next paragraph below. Even if the student is absent with excuse, he must
make up the work lost by such absence. No student who was, for any reason,
absent for more than fifty per cent. of the lectures of any one term
can receive a grade on the work of that term.

(b) Absence from the University is permitted upon the written leave
of the dean, and should in every case be obtained in advance. 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 these organizations. The laws relating to absence from the University
of members of the athletic teams are found on pages 352, 353. The same regulations
apply, mutatis mutandis, to members of other student organizations. No
student on Probation may receive a leave of absence except for imperative cause.

It should also be carefully noted that no leave of absence can be granted
just before or just after a vacation, or just after term examinations, except for
very grave reasons, or unless the applicant is passing in all his courses.

(14) The Dean's List.—A student who, in any session, passes on all
courses taken, aggregating not less than 15 session-hours, with an average
grade on all courses of not less than 85 per cent., will be placed on the Dean's
List.

A student who, in any session, passes on all courses taken, aggregating
not less than 15 session-hours, with an average grade on all courses of less
than 85 per cent. but at least 80 per cent., will be placed on the Dean's List
if, in the first term of the subsequent session, he passes on all courses taken,
aggregating not less than 15 term-hours, with an average grade on all
courses of not less than 85 per cent.

A student will be automatically dropped from the Dean's List if, in any
term, he does not pass on all courses taken, aggregating not less than 15
term-hours, with an average grade on all courses of not less than 85 per
cent. A student dropped from the Dean's List will be again placed on it
if he meets the above-mentioned standard for a term.

A student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting
the issuance of leaves of absence from the University, nor does absence
from any class entail on such student any penalty, affecting class standing,
imposed for absence alone. But the performance of written work and laboratory
work is not affected by these regulations.

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 regular work of the college leading to
a baccalaureate degree.

Five degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College of
Arts and Sciences. 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, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture,
and the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, are vocational degrees, designed
for those who wish to fit themselves especially for professional 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
credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor can any 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
Quarter for which college credit is given. For credit for work done at
other colleges, see page 201.

The requirements for the baccalaureate degrees 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.

BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

The degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Bachelor of Science, respectively,
will be conferred upon regular students who have completed not less than
sixty (60) session-hours of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with
the following programme:

(1) Required Subjects.—Candidates for either cultural degree must take
30 hours of required subjects as stated below and must in addition, unless exemption
is granted on a physician's certificate, complete the two years'
course in Physical Training which is not evaluated in session-hours (see
below). Of the 30 hours of required subjects not less than 24 hours must
be taken during the first two years, and the remaining 6 hours not later than
the third year.

Foreign Languages

For the Bachelor of Arts.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of which
six must be in either Latin or Greek.

For the Bachelor of Science.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of
which six must be in either French, German or Spanish.

Mathematics

For either degree.—Three session-hours.

Natural Science

For either degree.—Six session-hours.

English

For either degree.—Six session-hours, 3 of which may be in Biblical History,
or Biblical Literature, or Public Speaking, the other 3 being in English or
English Literature.

Social Science

For either degree.—Three session-hours in History B1 or B2, or Economics
B1, or Government B1, or Sociology B1 or B2. Economics B1, or Sociology B1,
if selected, cannot be taken before the candidate's second year. Sociology B2, if
selected, cannot be taken before the candidate's third year.

Philosophy

For either degree.—Three session-hours in Philosophy B1, Philosophy B2,
or Psychology B1.

Physical Training

For either degree.—Two years' course required of all candidates, which must
be completed before graduation. If not completed during the first two years, an
additional study-course of 3 session-hours must be taken. In this case, the candidate
must offer 63 hours, exclusive of Physical Training, for the degree. A
candidate excused on a physician's certificate from Physical Training during
his whole college course, however, is not required to take a 3-hour study-course
in place of Physical Training. He is required to offer only 60 session-hours for
the degree.

A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college credit shall
in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions, take such
courses as are necessary to complete these requirements for the first and
second sessions.

(2) Electives-at-large.—Of the remaining 30 session-hours required by
the baccalaureate degree, 18 session-hours may be elected from any courses
in the academic schools for which the candidate has adequate preparation.

(3) Major-Electives.—The remaining 12 session-hours required for either
degree, shall be known as Major-Electives. The Major-Electives shall
include at least one C course, and must all be offered from some one of the
following Major-Groups of related subjects, except that when the Major-Group
is Group III, the candidate may offer, in lieu of a C course, any six-hour
B course in this Group, for admission to which another six-hour B
course in the Group is prerequisite. The Major-Electives must all be completed
in this College or in some professional department of this university.

• Group I.—Languages, Literature, Fine Arts and Music.

• Group II.—Social and Philosophical Sciences.

• Group III.—Mathematical and Natural Sciences.

(4) Substitutions for Major-Electives.—The first-year course in Law, or
the first-year course in Medicine or 12 session-hours of technical courses in
one of the professional departments of Engineering or Education may be substituted
for the 12 session-hours of Major-Electives in academic subjects.
This work, which must be completed in one of the professional departments
of this University, cannot be begun by the candidate until he has spent at
least 2 sessions of 9 months each in successful work in this College, and has
at least 45 session-hours to his credit.

DEGREES WITH HONORS

The courses required for the cultural B.A. and B.S. degrees are adapted
to the powers of the average student, and any graduate of an accredited
school, who has, either by certificate or examination satisfied the requirements
for admission to the College and Arts of Sciences, if he is reasonably
industrious and regular in his studies, should obtain one of these degrees
without difficulty in four sessions' work. In every body of students, however,
there is a varying proportion of men and women who possess greater
ability and application than the average, and whose ambition aims higher
than a bare pass-mark on their work. For the proper stimulation of such
students toward the best that they can do, and for due and authoritative recognition
of unusual ability and high achievement in studies, the Academic
Faculty has instituted the following system of Special Honors:

Intermediate Honors

A certificate of Intermediate Honors is conferred by the Academic Faculty
on the student who, during his first two regular sessions in the College
of Arts and Sciences of this University, has passed on not less than 30
session-hours, including all required A courses, without failure or reexamination
on any course, and with an average grade on all courses of 85 per cent. or
more.

The holder of a Certificate of Intermediate Honors, so long as he has no
grade below 85 per cent. on the work of any term in any course, is not subject
to any of the rules limiting the issuance of leaves of absence from the University,
nor does absence from any class entail on such student any penalty affecting
class-standing imposed for absence alone.

The Certificates of Intermediate Honors are publicly conferred at the
Annual Convocation of the University following the session in which the honors
have been attained. The names of the holders of these certificates are
published under a separate heading in the annual catalogue of the University.

Final Honors

Final Honors are conferred only on graduation, and the diploma of B.A.
or B.S. with Final Honors states that the honors were won in a given academic
school.

A student who wishes to obtain Final Honors must be accepted as a candidate
for honors two sessions before graduation. Any student who has met the

requirements for the Dean's List for two sessions may apply to become a candidate
for Final Honors. Application must be made first to the Dean, and, if
approved by him, must also be approved by one of the academic schools
which offer work for honors. A list of such schools is published annually.

Final honors are conferred on the basis of a final comprehensive examination,
both oral and written, on some field of knowledge, and not for work done in
any or all of the regular courses required for a baccalaureate degree. Honors
work involves wide and independent reading for two years, under the general
direction of the professors of an academic school. It does not require regular
attendance upon lectures or the passing of any tests or examinations, except the
final examination, though consultations and reports may be required. Its aim
is the development of a capacity for scholarly work in a field of knowledge,
rather than a mastery of required details of subject matter.

The completion of work for Final Honors may be counted as credit towards
a B.A. or cultural B.S. degree in lieu of six session-hours of electives-at-large
or major-electives. In the event that the work for honors is not of sufficiently
high quality for Final Honors to be conferred, six session-hours' credit
toward a degree without honors may be granted upon recommendation of the
academic school in charge.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN A SPECIAL SUBJECT.

The degree of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject will be conferred
upon regular students who have completed not less than sixty-three (63)
session-hours of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with the following
program:

(1) Required Subjects: Candidates must complete 33 session-hours of
required subjects as stated below, of which 3 must be in Physical Training
B1. Of the remaining 30 session-hours of required subjects not less than
24 must be taken during the first two years, and the remaining 6 not later
than the third year.

Foreign Languages: 6 session-hours, of which 3 must be in French and
3 in German.

Mathematics: 6 session-hours.[3]

Natural Science: 12 session-hours in 2 subjects.

English: 6 session-hours, of which 3 must be in English B3.

Physical Training: 3 session-hours, which must be completed during the
first two years.

A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college credit, shall
in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions, take such

courses as are necessary to complete the requirements for the first and second
sessions.

(2) Major-Electives: 30 session-hours. At least two years before the
date of graduation, the candidate must select one of the schools of the Natural
or Mathematical Sciences as his Major School, and during the remainder of
his candidacy must pursue work in that School, with such other courses as shall
be prescribed by the professor or professors in charge of his Major School and
approved by the Academic Faculty.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ARCHITECTURE

A six-year course of study in architecture is offered jointly by the University
of Virginia and the School of Architecture of Harvard University. This
course comprises four years of undergraduate study at Virginia and two years
of graduate study at Harvard. It is essentially a professional course, but with
a larger number of non-technical subjects than are usual in a course in architecture.
The student who completes the first four years of this course, at Virginia,
will receive the degree B.S. in Architecture; upon completion of two additional
years at Harvard he will receive, from Harvard, the degree Master of
