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, an Ampico reproducing
grand piano and an orthophonic victrola. A full set of band instruments purchased

Affiliated with the Miller School of Biology is the Blandy Experimental
Farm, established by bequest of the late Graham F. Blandy. The Director, Professor
Orland E. White, is in residence at the University during the first two

students at the farm, which is in Clarke County, Virginia. For such students
the farm serves as a field laboratory for experimental work.

Fellowships: There are available five research fellowships in Genetics
in connection with the Blandy Experimental Farm. Two carry an honorarium
of $1000 each, and three carry an honorarium of $500 each. All five include free
tuition. These fellowships present an opportunity for graduate study and research
accompanied by a limited amount of instructional work involving not over
one hundred hours. They cover a period of eleven months annually, and are
designed to encourage investigational work leading towards advanced degrees.
They are open to men and women with a bachelor's degree from a college or
university of recognized standing, who have had special training in biological
and agricultural subjects. The first two terms are spent at the University, the
remainder of the time at the Blandy Experimental Farm.

A limited number of General Education Board Research Fellowships are
available, the emolument varying from $500 to $1000 according to the training
and qualification of the holders.

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: Students who
select biology as their Major Subject, in addition to meeting the regular University
requirements, must have a general knowledge of related sciences, such as
chemistry, geology and physics; and a comprehensive knowledge of the various
aspects of biology, as attested by the completion of prescribed courses and such
examinations as may be imposed. Special attention is called to University requirements
relating to French and German. The completion of residence requirements
and class work does not guarantee a degree to any student. The
preeminent qualifications are thoroughness, resourcefulness, initiative and ability
to do creative work.

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 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 alumni and friends
of the University, provides an annual income sufficient for the adequate maintenance
of the library.

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 inorganic, organic, analytical, and
physical 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: There are available each session a number of Teaching
Fellowships in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $500, which may be increased
to $600 on reappointment. 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 a graduate degree. On reappointment the required
amount of instructional work may be reduced. 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. Preference will be given to applicants who have
studied calculus, German, and French.

In addition to the Teaching Fellowships, a number of advanced Fellowships,
requiring no instructional work, are also available to students who have already
had graduate training in chemistry in this University or elsewhere.

Applications for Fellowships should be made before March 1, on forms
obtainable from the Secretary of the Chemistry Faculty.

The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so as to
exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same time offers a large
variety of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens show the different
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 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 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
as possible.

be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required. If the candidate's
major be Romanic, the technical Greek requirement is waived as far as practically
possible, and he is guided into the history of the Roman popular vernacular
and into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the vulgar Latin in
literature.

It is the aim of this course to prepare the candidate to investigate independently
the sources of our knowledge of the language, monuments (literary and
objective), and life of the Romans. The following is therefore an outline of the
course: I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar; introduction to
Latin historical grammar; systematic (general) 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; history and
interpretation of texts, elements of palæography, epigraphy, numismatics, and
archæology. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history,
culminating in the Doctor's Dissertation; the history of classical philology.
Hours by appointment.
