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.
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
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.

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 Organic Colloquium will meet bi-weekly (hours to be arranged).
Recent papers of interest to organic chemists will be presented. Graduate
students specializing in Organic Chemistry are expected to support the
meetings. Undergraduates and others interested are invited to attend and
participate in the discussions.
The Chemical Laboratory, recently completed, is of brick, fire-proof construction,
and the three floors afford 45,000 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 October 15th of the
session 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.

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

The Master's Degree.—A varying number of Romance group courses,
ranging from six to ten hours a week throughout the year, a final oral
examination, and a thesis are prescribed for the master's degree. A candidate
of average ability and good training may absolve the requisite number of
courses within one year after the baccalaureate degree. The final oral
examination, however, embraces questions asked and answered in two
Romanic languages; and the candidate whose collegiate work represents one
Romanic language only will find it difficult to acquire in one year the supplementary
language and absolve other requirements. Further, the thesis
must incorporate the results (elementary, at least) of original investigation
on the part of the candidate; and unless he already have at the outset, or find
very quickly, a promising subject of investigation, nine months will prove
insufficient for the work.
The Doctorate.—A varying number of Romance group courses, ranging
from fifteen to twenty, distributed over a period of three years after the
baccalaureate degree, are prescribed for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
in Romanic Languages. The final oral examination embraces questions asked
and answered in French, Spanish, and Italian. The scope and character of
original investigation presented by the candidate's dissertation must satisfy
the Romanic Faculty as a whole. To facilitate the acquisition of a speaking
knowledge of the third, or supplementary, Romanic language, candidates are
granted the privilege of optional attendance on any French, Spanish, or
Italian course in the College.
