Latin D1: Latin C1 and C2 prerequisite.—A two-year course for those who
desire to specialize in classical philology, especially those who choose Latin as
their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If the candidate's major
be Latin, the completion of Greek C1 will be the minimum requirement. 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 paleography, epigraphy, numismatics,
and archaeology. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history,
culminating in the Doctor's Dissertation; the history of classical
philology. Hours by appointment.

The Leander McCormick Observatory is situated upon Mount Jefferson,
which furnishes an unobstructed horizon. The principal building is a rotunda
forty-five feet in diameter, which contains the great Clark refractor of twenty-six
inches aperture. The instrument and building are the gift of the late
Leander J. McCormick, Esq., of Chicago. The telescope is fitted with micrometer,
photometer, and plate-holder for stellar photography. The computing
rooms adjoining contain clocks, chronograph, machines for measuring astronomical
photographs and spectrograms, and an excellent working library. In a
smaller building are a three-inch transit and a six-inch equatorial.
The members of the Visiting Committee of the Leander McCormick Observatory
are:
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY.
THE RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY.
MR. ROBERT HALL MCCORMICK.
MR. LEANDER MCCORMICK-GOODHART.

The Biological Laboratory, completed in 1920, is provided freely with electricity,
gas, and water. The equipment consists of compound microscopes
of the best types, microtomes, paraffin ovens, incubators, sterilizers, and other
apparatus required for general and advanced work. Special apparatus will

of biological texts and books of reference, as well as files of the more
important journals, and a series of biological reprints.
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 terms. During the third term and Summer Quarter he directs research
of advanced students at the farm, which is in Clarke County, Virginia. For
such students the farm serves as a field laboratory for experimental work.
Graduate courses in the Summer Quarter are given at the Mountain Lake
Biological Station located at Mountain Lake, Virginia, in Giles County. Detailed
information may be obtained from the Director, Professor Bruce D. Reynolds,
University, Virginia.
Fellowships: There are available five research fellowships in Genetics
in connection with the Blandy Experimental Farm. Two carry an honorarium
of $1,000 each, and three carry an honorarium of $750 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 $1,000 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.

participate 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 Service Fellowships
in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $650, which may be increased
to $750 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 Service 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.

problems at the Club, and such meetings are open to the public.
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.
