background is provided for it by the buildings and environment of Charlottesville;
the University group, with its old buildings specially designed to furnish
examples of the various orders "as specimens for the architectural lectures,"
its new buildings designed by Stanford White; the works of sculpture by Houdon,
Ezekiel, Bitter, Borglum, Keck, Shrady, and Aitken; the paintings and
prints presented by Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan, John Barton Payne, John Armstrong
Chaloner and others; the concerts and exhibitions of paintings brought
to the University with part of the income of the McIntire fund. For the current
work in Art and Architecture there is generous provision of casts, books,
photographs and lantern slides. For music, the school has two concert grand
pianos for its use in the classroom and for ensemble recitals, and double bass
and kettle drums for the use of students in the orchestra, a full set of band instruments
purchased and maintained under the supervision of the Alumni
Association, a comprehensive library of chamber music, orchestral scores and
parts, operas and piano classics as well as books of reference on musical subjects
and collateral reading. There are also available for the Music Department
a three-manual Skinner organ in Cabell Hall and a three-manual Moeller
organ, the gift of Paul Goodloe McIntire in connection with the McIntire
amphitheatre. The following gifts have been made to the musical library:

SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY
Students taking Laboratory courses in Chemistry are required to pay for
each course a fee of $20.00 and make a special deposit of $5.00 to cover breakage
of apparatus.

namely gravimetric and volumetric. The important principles around which practically
all quantitative methods may be grouped are: Neutralization, solubility
product, oxidation and reduction, colorimetry, and evolution and measurement of
gases. The laboratory exercises have been selected with the idea of illustrating
these principles as well as introducing the student to something new in laboratory
technique each time. 1 hour lecture and 6 hours laboratory work per week. (B.A.
or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Associate Professor Yoe and Assistant.

structure theory. 3 hours of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory per week. Acting
Assistant Professor Elgin.
Chemistry C4: Applied Chemistry: Chemistry B3 and C3 prerequisite.—
The lectures and recitations in this course will be devoted to the study of fundamental
principles underlying the more important phases of industrial chemistry,
including both theoretical and economic problems. A considerable amount
of reading in descriptive industrial chemistry will be assigned, and written reports
upon special subjects will be required. 3 hours of lecture per week. Assistant
Professor Benton.
Chemistry C5: Undergraduate Research: Properly qualified undergraduate
students are given opportunity to undertake an original investigation
of some problem in chemistry under the direction of a member of the teaching
staff. The student will be expected to devote to his problem a minimum of nine
hours per week throughout the year.

for graduate students specializing in the field of reaction kinetics and catalysis.
Chemistry D4[2]
: Atomic Structure: An introduction to the modern theory
of atomic structure and its application in the study of the structure and some
properties of matter. Assistant Professor Benton.
Research: Every graduate student in Chemistry is expected to carry
on research. No Special courses are listed, as the nature of the work and the
credit received will vary with the time spent upon it, the previous training of
the student and the degree for which the student is applying. At present investigations
are under way in this laboratory in the fields of catalysis; absorption;
reduction of metal oxides; organic equilibria; colloid chemistry; organic synthesis
and other problems in organic chemistry.
The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest in current
chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are in progress in the
University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced students in chemistry
are expected to participate in these meetings and to take part in the discussions.
The privileges of the club are extended to all members of the University
and others who are interested in the progress of Chemistry.
The Chemical Laboratory, recently completed, is of brick, fire-proof construction,
and the three floors afford 30,000 square feet of space. The seven
larger laboratories will accommodate 625 students, and, in addition to these
there are smaller laboratories for the use of the instructors and advanced students.
There are also rooms for assay furnaces, gas and water analysis, photography,
etc. The equipment is satisfactory for purposes of both instruction
and research. The laboratory maintains a working library containing about
5,000 volumes directly relating to chemistry as well as complete files of the
important periodicals. A gift to the School of Chemistry from Mrs. Hamilton
Barksdale in memory of her husband, and from Delaware Alumnus and friends
of the University, will make possible at once a number of additions to the library.
The annual income from this fund, which became available for the first
time in the session of 1925-26, will soon make the library thoroughly adequate.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: In addition to
fulfilling the regular University requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
candidates for this degree who select chemistry as their Major Subject
must give evidence of thorough training in the general principles of chemistry,
in organic chemistry, and in analytical chemistry, by passing written qualifying
examinations in these subjects; these examinations to be passed not later than
the close of the session preceding that in which it is expected that the degree will
be conferred.
Fellowships: The University announces the establishment of five Teaching
Fellowships in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $500. These fellowships
present the opportunity for graduate study and research in Chemistry, accompanied
by a limited amount of instructional work. Holders of the fellowships
will be expected to devote not more than fifteen hours a week to instruction, leaving
ample time for research and work toward the graduate degree. The fellowships
are open to men who have received a bachelor's degree from a college or
university of recognized standing, and who have received thorough undergraduate
training in chemistry and physics.

kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and the formations in
which they occur. The collections of fossils, plaster casts, maps, etc., are exceptionally
fine, and fully illustrate 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 contain 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 as possible.

SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
All students registered in the College are required to take two years of
physical training, which must be completed by the end of the student's
second year. This regulation applies to those who are preparing for the
study of medicine, law, engineering or other profession, as well as those
applying for academic degrees. Exception to this regulation can only be
obtained through the Director of Physical Education, with the consent of
the Dean of the College.
Regulations.—Each college student must present himself to the medical
examiners at the Memorial Gymnasium immediately after completing
his registration, for examination and classification. This examination is
free for a period of ten days after registration, after which date, a fee of five
dollars is charged.
Physical defects are not accepted as sufficient reason for failing to
register for physical training since group or individual exercises will be prescribed
in such cases.
Advanced students from another college who offer credit for physical
training must present the evidence to the Director, in person.
The regulation uniform consists of white, sleeveless shirt, khaki pants,
and rubber-soled shoes.
Physical Education B1.—The lectures treat of the gross anatomy of
the body, the physical functions and mechanism, hygiene, fundamentals of
bodily exercises, athletic training and the technic of certain competitive
activities. One hour.
Physical Education B2.—Fall Term Practice.—Athletic tests; gymnastics,
boxing, wrestling, tumbling, rope climbing, games.
Winter Term.—Basket ball, swimming, exercises on apparatus, advanced
boxing.
