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 
English B.—Composition and Rhetoric 
English C.—Critical Study of Specimens of Literature 
Mathematics A1.—Algebra to Quadratics 
Mathematics A2.—Quadratics, Progressions, Binomial Formula 
Mathematics B.—Plane Geometry 
Mathematics C.—Solid Geometry  ½ 
Mathematics D.—Plane Trigonometry  ½ 
History.—Ancient; Medieval; English; American (any one) 
Electives 
Total  15 

6

Page 6

High school students who expect to study Engineering are advised to
include among their electives at least one Foreign Language (Latin or French
or German), one Science (Chemistry or Physics with adequate laboratory
work) and an additional unit of History. Other electives which may be
profitably offered are History of English and American Literature, Greek,
Botany, Zoölogy, Physical Geography.

A candidate may be admitted as a Conditioned Student in spite of some
deficiencies in required entrance subjects, provided these are not such as
will impair the integrity of his work, but he must submit not less than 15
units. 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.

As the table of Entrance Requirements shows, the full High School course
in Mathematics is required for entrance to the Department of Engineering, but
unfortunately the graduates of the High Schools are often deficient in Solid
Geometry and Plane Trigonometry and can be admitted only upon conditions in
those subjects. High School principals are advised to urge their graduates, with
this status, to attend a Summer Session at the University before entering the
Department of Engineering so that these deficiencies may be overcome. If
the prospective student finds it impossible to attend a Summer School previous
to his regular matriculation, a course has been planned which will allow him
to make up his deficiencies by taking work in the Summer School following
his first year in Engineering. This course provides for Trigonometry, Solid
Geometry and College Algebra in the three terms of the regular session, with
the other work as outlined for the regular student, and in addition, in the two
terms of the Summer School, Analytical and Coördinate Geometry are taken.
Such a program will prepare the student for Sophomore standing and will save
him from the failure usually encountered by students who attempt to make up
the deficient work in regular session in addition to the full course of required
subjects.

A candidate may be admitted as a Special Student, without formal examination,
provided he is more than twenty years old if a Virginian and not less
than twenty-three years old if a non-Virginian, 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.

ADMISSION OF WOMEN

Women are admitted as candidates for the Engineering Degrees but not as
Special Students. 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


7

Page 7
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.

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 professor in
charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced work, provided the
full entrance requirements have been satisfied.

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.

Advanced standing in the technical engineering subjects of higher grade
than those of the Sophomore year will not be given except to graduates of other
institutions offering technical engineering instruction and then only upon special
consideration of each application for such advanced standing. No degree
in Engineering will be awarded for less than one full year's work in a regular
session of this University and the work of a candidate's last year must be performed
in residence here.

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.

Students, suspended from other universities, are not granted college credits
on courses previously passed, except upon the explicit recommendation of the
suspending university, and after such additional tests as this Engineering
Faculty may impose.

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 every case pass an additional practical test on the subjects for which credit
is desired.

College credit is not granted for high-school work.

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 English,
Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Chemistry 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 the student
majoring in Chemical Engineering begins his specialized work, while all others
pursue identical courses of study through the year. On entering the Junior
year each student elects his specialty. The courses thereafter diverge according
to the major subject chosen by the student. 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.

Upon the completion of the four years' course as defined in any one of the
Programs of Study, the faculty will award to any student in regular and honorable
standing the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Upon the
completion of the additional Graduate Course in a satisfactory manner the
faculty will award the appropriate degree of Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer,
Electrical Engineer, Chemical Engineer, or Mining Engineer.

The five-year curriculum has been adopted at the University of Virginia
in view of the impressive and growing demand from practicing engineers and
industrial leaders that Schools of Engineering should enlarge the field of study
to embrace more of the humanities and better opportunities for student research,
to the end that the graduates may be better fitted to undertake their duties
as engineers and citizens.

13

Page 13

324-325-326: Principles of Chemical Engineering:

10:30-11:30, M. W. F.

A course designed to give the prospective chemical engineer a thorough
foundation in the basic principles of his profession. The course is intended for
candidates for the Ch. E. degree, but may be taken by fourth-year students in
special cases. The unit operations of chemical industry are studied from the
standpoint of the chemical and physical principles involved. Practice in the
application of these principles is given by the solution of numerous type problems
in which quantitative treatment is emphasized. Attention is first devoted
to a detailed study of flow of fluids and flow of heat, since these topics are
fundamental in the subsequent development of evaporation, distillation, and
power generation. These subjects are followed by sub-division of solids, mechanical
separation, filtration, humidification, absorption, and extraction. Facility
is developed in the stoichiometry of chemical industry. Lectures and recitations,
3 hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

Associate Professor Hitchcock.

340-341-342: Applied Chemistry:

amount of reading in descriptive industrial chemistry will be assigned, and
written reports upon special subjects will be required. Lectures and recitations,
3 hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

Associate Professor Hitchcock.

386-387-388: Chemical Engineering Research:

This course is designed for candidates for the Ch. E. degree and affords
an introduction to research methods. Fundamental problems will be selected for
study whenever possible from the field in which the student is particularly interested,
or from fields which are of importance in representative chemical industries
of the State, such as Rayon and Nitro-cellulose, Nitrogen Fixation,
Paper and Heavy Chemicals. The method of attack in general will be to reduce
the selected problem to laboratory scale leading to the collection of basic data
susceptible of definite interpretation, rather than to attempt special investigations
on semi-plant equipment which usually leads to merely empirical data. The use
of the chemical literature as an aid in conducting investigations accompanies
the laboratory work, as well as practice in the mathematical and graphical treatment
of the data obtained. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

Associate Professor Hitchcock.

Advanced Courses: A number of advanced courses in Chemistry, not
listed above, are described in the catalogue of the College. When time permits,
students in Chemical Engineering, who are properly prepared, may take such of
these courses as are approved by the Faculty of Engineering.

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


14

Page 14
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.

STUDENT BRANCHES OF NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES

There have been established at the University of Virginia Student Branches
of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (1912), the American Society
of Civil Engineers (1921) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(1922). These societies hold regular meetings for the discussion of periodical
literature and the exposition by resident and visiting engineers of the presentday
problems in Engineering. A valuable feature of the meetings is the opportunity
presented for practice in public speaking and debate. At stated meetings
the Branches hold joint sessions for the discussion of mutually interesting
questions.

TAU BETA PI

In May, 1921, a chapter of the National Honorary Engineering Fraternity
Tau Beta Pi was granted and the Alpha of Virginia Chapter of Tau Beta Pi
will henceforth serve to further inspire high scholarship and integrity. This
fraternity is recognized as the leading honorary engineering fraternity of this
country and its chapters are found in a limited number of engineering schools
of the highest standing. The members are elected with care and the standards
maintained are rigid both in respect to scholarship and character.

THETA TAU

In June, 1923, a chapter of the National Engineering Fraternity of Theta
Tau was granted at the University of Virginia. This fraternity has chapters
in a score or more of the leading engineering schools of the country and membership
is eagerly sought and greatly appreciated by the members of the student
body. Elections are made each year based on scholarship and general record
of ability and promise of future service to the profession of engineering.

TRIGON SOCIETY

The Trigon Engineering Society was founded at the University of Virginia
early in the spring of 1923. It is a local organization which has for its
object the broadening of the education of the engineering student by fraternal
and social contact and by encouraging lectures and study on subjects aside
from those dealing primarily with engineering. The society is active in the
student affairs of the department and is always ready to help in any undertaking
for the betterment of the Engineering School. Members are selected
for their personality, sociability, and promise of high engineering attainment.

EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS

The average annual expense of a student who pursues the regular course
in Engineering will be:

               
NonVirginians  Virginians 
University Fee  $ 60  $ 50 
Tuition  165  95 (avg.) 
Laboratory Fees (average)  35  35 
Living Expenses (for nine months)  400  400 
Books and Drawing Materials  30  30 
Incidental Expenses (for nine months)  60  60 
Total annual for average conditions  $750  $670 

The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that Virginians
are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College, this exception
saving regular Freshmen from Virginia $110 and all other Virginia students
$60 each year in comparison with non-Virginians.

The laboratory charges are $15 per class for the year's course in Physics,
and $20 per class for a year's course in Chemistry. A deposit for breakage of
$5 is required for each laboratory course in Chemistry. A fee of $5 each
for the year's course in Engineering Geology and in Mineralogy is charged.
The fee for each practice course in the Engineering Department, Drawing,
Engineering Laboratories, and Shop-work is $5 per term for each course.
The fees for Field-work and Bridge Drafting are each $10 per term per course.
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 $10.00 per week, the minimum $7.50, and a reasonable
maximum $12.50. Books and Drawing Materials will cost about $120 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 included
for clothing and travel, the expenses for which vary too much to be
introduced into any general estimate.

The charges payable on entrance are the University Fee, and the Tuition
and Laboratory Fees.

LOAN FUNDS AND STUDENT SELF-HELP

The University is in possession of funds from which loans are made to
deserving students in need of such assistance. An account of these loans is
given in the General Catalogue. Inquiries concerning them should be addressed
to the Bursar.

Opportunities for obtaining remunerative employment are afforded to students
who are desirous by this means of partially paying their way through
the University. It is difficult to give definite assurance of employment to a
student before he reaches the University, but it may be stated that any student
with sufficient resources to carry him through the first half of the session


36

Page 36
can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which will help defray his expenses
for the rest of the academic year. Information as to employment may be obtained
from the Secretary of the Committee on Student Help, Madison Hall,
University, Virginia.

EXAMINATION 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 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.
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


37

Page 37
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 Applied Mathematics may be averaged for the first-year men only,
provided no mark is below 65.

6. The pass-mark in every course is 75. Class standing and written examination
are combined for the term-grade in such proportions as the several
professors may determine.

7. No student who fails to make 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. Any engineering student who fails to attain a passing grade of 75 on at
least 9 term-hours will be placed on probation for the following term, probation
to continue until at least 9 term-hours are passed in one term. No engineering
student shall remain on probation for more than three terms, whether
consecutive or not, in his entire engineering course. If probation is imposed
a fourth time the student shall be suspended.

10. Any engineering student on probation who fails to attain a passing
grade of 75 on at least 6 term-hours and whose average grade on all courses
taken is less than 65 will be suspended. Any engineering student who passes
less than 6 term-hours and whose average grade on all courses taken is less
than 65 will be suspended. Suspension during a session continues for the remainder
of the regular session. Suspension imposed at the end of a session
holds for the whole of a subsequent session, except that such suspension may
be absolved by the successful completion of prescribed work in the Summer
Quarter. No engineering student suspended for a second time shall re-enter
the department.

11. The Dean's List.—A student, who, in any session, passes on all courses
taken, aggregating not less than 18 session-hours, with an average grade on all
courses of not less than 82 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
18 session-hours, but who does not average 82 per cent, and who, in any subsequent


38

Page 38
term, passes on all courses taken, aggregating not less than 18 term-hours,
with an average grade on all 18 term-hours of not less than 82 per cent
will be placed on the Dean's List. 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 18 term-hours, with an average grade on all courses
of not less than 82 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. Students on the Dean's List must attend all laboratory classes
and must perform all written problem work and take all written quizzes under
the same conditions as all other students.

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 layout
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. A vertical blue-printing machine
with ar lamp, complete with trays, has recently been procured and installed.
While, however, technical dexterity is demanded, the graphical method
is taught and used primarily as an indispensable instrument of research, the
thoughtful 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 bandsaw,
a jig-saw, and a wood trimmer for pattern-making, six cabinet-maker's
benches, and an ample supply of hand tools.

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.

Substantial additions of machines, measuring instruments, control apparatus,
and auxiliaries are being made regularly in order to keep the equipment
in the best order for laboratory work.

In addition to a supply from the University Power Plant the laboratory
is furnished from the Virginia Public Service Company through a synchronous
motor driving an alternator and three-wire direct current generator, with two
exciters, all on a common shaft. A complete three-panel switchboard for the
control of this set is equipped with full sets of instruments and controls including
a voltage regulator for the alternating current generator. Universal
plug and receptacle-connections facilitate the setting up of all experimental
combinations.

For the machine testing there are available two direct-current motor generator
sets with automatic push-button start and stop control complete, several
direct current motors and generators, series, shunt and compound; high-voltage
direct current generator set; steam-turbine-driven three-phase alternator with
exciter and control switchboard; experimental test set for alternating current
single or polyphase generator operation or induction motor testing; a second
test set with modern switchboard control panel and driving motor with automatic
start, stop, and reverse equipment; single-phase induction motor; single-phase
repulsion-induction motor; two- and three-phase induction motors; three-phase
induction-motor set for concatenation tests; induction generator; double-current
generator; several pairs of constant potential transformers; constant-current
transformer; polyphase transformer; mercury are rectifier set; Prony
brakes for all motors; variable resistances; variable inductances and capacities;

measuring frequency, power factor, and indicators of synchronism and grounded
circuits. A complete three-element oscillograph set with all accessories is
available. Two telephone central-office ringer and signal sets, and a 100-watt
radio broadcast transmitter are installed.

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 Seimens and Halske Thomson double
bridge, the Koepsel permeameter, the Station photometer with Lummer-Brodhum
screen, Macbeth illuminometer, the Carey-Foster bridge and others.

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


42

Page 42
studies. It is 180 by 70 feet and contains on the main floor the Dean's office
and the offices of three other professors; and three lecture-rooms.

Above are an office, a small drafting room for advanced students, and blueprint
and photographic rooms. Below on the ground floor are an office and
classroom, the electrical laboratories, the testing laboratories, apparatus and
storerooms, and the students' lavatory. In order to more adequately care for
increased numbers this building has undergone a considerable rearrangement
during recent years. Wood and machine shop equipment has been entirely
removed from the building, as well as the facilities for Freshman and Sophomore
Drawing. This change made available much needed classroom space
and allowed the electrical laboratories to be expanded. Incident to the changes
new cement floors were constructed for the Road Materials Testing Laboratory,
the main testing Laboratory and the main hall. A new high-pressure
steam line from the Power House was also installed.

The Shops are now temporarily housed in the Garage erected for the
Motor Truck Training Detachment during the World War. This building gives
a floor space of some 5,000 square feet and has allowed the rearrangement of
wood and machine shop equipment for group drive by four electric motors.
Space is also available in this structure for use in connection with the course
in automobile construction and testing.

The Drawing Room is temporarily housed near Peabody Hall in one of
the Barracks taken from the Training Camp site and rebuilt and fitted for
drawing. The building accommodates about 180 men, each man having his
individual drawing desk.

The Power House is a single-story building 110 by 40 feet. It contains the
University boiler plant and the electric lighting plant. The Boiler plant consists
of two horizontal return-tubular boilers, each of 140 horsepower. 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.

In addition to the University plants there are available by courtesy of the
owners for purposes of inspection, study and tests such plants as the turbine
station and railway and power substation of the Virginia Public Service Company,
the water turbines and oil engine plant of the Charlottesville Woolen
mills, and plants of the local ice companies and cold storage.

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,


43

Page 43
the storage battery room, a well-equipped shop for the repair and
manufacture of apparatus, and smaller rooms for the work of graduate students.

The new Chemical Laboratory was opened for use in September, 1917.
In this fire-proof structure all the work in Chemistry is assembled. The floor
area provided is about 30,000 square feet. The lecture-rooms seat classes of
300, 75 and 25 students. The laboratories assigned to General Chemistry,
Organic Chemistry, Qualitative Analysis, Quantitative Analysis, and Physical
Chemistry contain 110, 60, 40, 30, and 20 desks. Altogether by dividing classes
into sections, 600 students may be accommodated. Smaller private laboratories
are provided for research workers. Large stock rooms communicating by elevators
with the several floors contain ample stores of chemical supplies. The
5,000 volumes of books and bound sets of journals constituting the Departmental
Library of Chemistry are so housed as to be accessible to both teachers
and students.
